Speaker 1: of the day, a lot of these pharmacies and hospitals
Speaker 1: and testing places vaccine places. I should say, they have
Speaker 1: to use it. If they don't use it, it goes bad.
Speaker 1: So I was just waiting around and like I did
Speaker 1: yesterday and yesterday the sential worker came. H Well, the
Speaker 1: day before, an essential worker came. Yesterday, no essential worker came,
Speaker 1: and I was the only one there about to get
Speaker 1: rid of it, so they gave it to me. So
Speaker 1: that's how I got the shot. So he was just
Speaker 1: hanging out outside of the the pharmacy waiting for a leftover drugs. Basically, yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much. All right, Well, speaking of drugs, we gotta
Speaker 1: a great guest this morning. Yes, his name is doctor
Speaker 1: Karl Hearts. Yes, I enjoyed doctor Carl Hearts conversation. Yes,
Speaker 1: he is the doctor that I don't want to say.
Speaker 1: He's a Is he a function in heroin user? Yes,
Speaker 1: he is a function functioning heroin user. He uses drugs.
Speaker 1: He has a book out called Drug Use for Grown Ups,
Speaker 1: Chasing Liberty and Land of Fear. Right. Yeah, so he
Speaker 1: talks about his drug use, him using heroin and some
Speaker 1: other drugs, and how he's functioning, how he's still a professor,
Speaker 1: and he's an American neuroscientist, but he studies drugs. So
Speaker 1: what he tells you to do, the average person probably
Speaker 1: couldn't do. Nobody should because and he studies the effects
Speaker 1: on the brain. So he also wanted to see what
Speaker 1: with Darrow would be like, and he knows how to
Speaker 1: micro dose and he but it's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that you might not do because you're not an expert. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't think heroin is a drug that you should
Speaker 1: be doing recreationally. No, no, no, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: drugs like, I mean, it's not I I don't think
Speaker 1: you should be doing crack recreation. You know. But he
Speaker 1: talks about his drug use, he wrote a book about it.
Speaker 1: He's a professor. But we're not here to judge just
Speaker 1: because we may not necessarily agree, but we will. We
Speaker 1: will have the conversation with him this morning. I just
Speaker 1: can't get into the you know, mold of telling people
Speaker 1: just say yes, that's just yeah, I'm with the motor No,
Speaker 1: don't try it, don't use it. It's not okay. What
Speaker 1: if you're in the hospital and they prescribe it. I've
Speaker 1: never gonna prescribe heroin. Prescribe what heroin? Yeah, heroin for well,
Speaker 1: not crack, but heroin. Yeah. The type of open, definite
Speaker 1: people get. People get addicted to those Like the opioid
Speaker 1: death rate is through the roof right now. Opioid overdose
Speaker 1: death rate, it's through the roof right now. You know,
Speaker 1: I do a lot of real estate, and we do
Speaker 1: a lot of real estate and messed up areas, and
Speaker 1: I would say seventy to eighty percent of the time
Speaker 1: when I walk in these houses, you would see a
Speaker 1: heroin fiend in there and needles everywhere. And then when
Speaker 1: you have conversations with them, they usually come from a
Speaker 1: great family or a nice family, or a lot of
Speaker 1: times family with money, but they got addicted and they
Speaker 1: can't get out. Yeah, I just can't stop and they
Speaker 1: have to continue to have this this drug. This drug
Speaker 1: took their life over and they went to rehab and
Speaker 1: they can't get out. They can't kick it, they can't
Speaker 1: beat it. So I've seen it. I had family members
Speaker 1: that odeed or drugs. So I don't play with drugs
Speaker 1: like I'm not even trying, like no, Like Heroin is
Speaker 1: the most addictive and it's the hardest to get off.
Speaker 1: But to your point, when you've seen a dopege, yes,
Speaker 1: you're not cant encourage nobody to do that recreationally otherwise.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about it all right, Front Page News.
Speaker 1: What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about the X
Speaker 1: Team USA gym nastics coach John gettart he is dead.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what happened everything, every boy, Hi, whatever,
Speaker 1: I don't know. He started talking to me. Nick cameraman
Speaker 1: looked at me and say, why are you talking about Mars?
Speaker 1: I said what? And he said, we landed on Mars.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Its gates? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: let's get in some front page news. Where we start, Well,
Speaker 1: let's start with John Gettt, the coach of the legendary
Speaker 1: twenty twelve team USA gymnastics team. Now, he was charged
Speaker 1: with multiple accounts of human trafficking and sexual assault. He
Speaker 1: faced us up to life in prison, and he's six
Speaker 1: he's sixty three years old. But they say he should
Speaker 1: not be celebrated as some great coach. He actually sexually
Speaker 1: assaulted an unidentified person in twenty twelve who was between
Speaker 1: the ages of thirteen and sixteen. But the charges he's
Speaker 1: facing twenty counts of human trafficking, two counts of sexual assault,
Speaker 1: one count of racketarian, one count of lying to a
Speaker 1: peace officer. Well, now he is dead, according to state officials,
Speaker 1: and they said he took his own life after sexual
Speaker 1: assault child charges were filed against him. Gunshot wound. They
Speaker 1: said he died yesterday afternoon. I know you even heard
Speaker 1: him towards this. Now. He actually has ties to Larry Nassar.
Speaker 1: You know him, that was the tennis no Olympic coach.
Speaker 1: Well Nassar was the team doctor for the gymnastics team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was a doctor, so he um. Yeah, they have
Speaker 1: some ties with each other too, So he's no longer
Speaker 1: here all right. A survey shows that thirty eight percent
Speaker 1: of Americans would give up sex if they could travel again.
Speaker 1: They would give up sex for a year in order
Speaker 1: to be able to travel again. So no from me,
Speaker 1: not me. That's what I love going. I love traveling
Speaker 1: to have sex with my wife. That's what having sex
Speaker 1: and exotically travel of taking my wife. But you haven't
Speaker 1: sex there anyway? Hello, Well you guys could also have
Speaker 1: connections in other ways too, we do. You could travel
Speaker 1: together and not have sex and to have great deep conversation.
Speaker 1: I'm not with that. I would venture to say that
Speaker 1: those thirty eight percent of people probably weren't having sex anyway.
Speaker 1: How much sex are they having prior to them giving
Speaker 1: it up? That's what I would like tell people that,
Speaker 1: like man, I haven't traveled in a year. I need
Speaker 1: to go somewhere. I haven't traveled in it yet, but
Speaker 1: I'm good. Yeah, I'll take I'm much rather than my
Speaker 1: destination be my wife's John damn much. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that, all right. The Senate has ruled against
Speaker 1: including including the increase in the minimum wage and the
Speaker 1: COVID relief bill. They decided that last night. How much
Speaker 1: so when they ruled against it, Yeah, fifteen dollars an hour.
Speaker 1: So what they are saying is they believe that they
Speaker 1: do believe that it will pass easier, the COVID relief
Speaker 1: bill without the minimum wage in it. But of course
Speaker 1: Democrats feel like, no, we need to have this in
Speaker 1: the bill. It's very important, and Republicans are the ones
Speaker 1: that are against it. So Biden is disappointed in this outcome.
Speaker 1: He proposed having the fifteen dollar minimum wage as part
Speaker 1: of the American Rescue Plan, and he respects their decision
Speaker 1: in the sentence process, but they still want to make
Speaker 1: sure that bill gets passed. Yeah, I gotta talk to
Speaker 1: somebody way smarter than me on this, because I thought
Speaker 1: Democrats had control of the Senate. Yeah, I thought Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris was the tiebreaker and all of that type of stuff.
Speaker 1: Don't you have to have like two thirds or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's why I gotta talk to somebody
Speaker 1: smarter than me. I have no idea. All right, well
Speaker 1: that is your front page news. All right, get it
Speaker 1: off your chests. Eight hundred five eight five one oh
Speaker 1: five one. If you need to vent, hit us up
Speaker 1: right now, phone line to wide open. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1: choose any name? Mike say Mike, Hey Mike, what's happening?
Speaker 1: Good morning? Mico? Might get it off your chest? Bike?
Speaker 1: Um No, I've been going through it, man. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to trying to secure a place to live. Man, and
Speaker 1: I'm twenty nine years old. I have a good credit score,
Speaker 1: I have money for a down payment and for you know,
Speaker 1: closing costs and stuff. But I can't find nobody to
Speaker 1: help me because I don't have I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: have the income to get the house. And I've been
Speaker 1: in a wheelchair for the past ten years, going through
Speaker 1: rehabilitation after getting shot, and you know, open heart surgery
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So I haven't had the work
Speaker 1: history that everybody's asking me for. And man, I got
Speaker 1: seven months left on my least. I'm playing eighteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars a month and my rental history doesn't even matter.
Speaker 1: And I'm about to be on the street with my
Speaker 1: three kids. I'm a stepfather to three kids. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. What money do you have coming in monthly?
Speaker 1: Do you have an income coming in monthly? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean I'm a government assistance you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But they don't give me nearly enough for them to
Speaker 1: approve me for a loan. Right. Well, See, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: If any bank won't give you a loan, I mean,
Speaker 1: as far as what you make. There's different ways they
Speaker 1: can do a loan. They can actually do it as
Speaker 1: far as checking your deposits and see how much you
Speaker 1: actually deposit a month, But you got to show some
Speaker 1: money coming in. You just can't say I can afford
Speaker 1: this house. Trust me, like, you gotta have some type
Speaker 1: of income coming in where you can show the lenders
Speaker 1: that it's okay that you can pay that loan. Though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I've been trying, and it's like I'm going
Speaker 1: everywhere that I can to get a job for leave.
Speaker 1: But even if I get a job right now, nobody
Speaker 1: hiring for COVID. You know, I've been trying my best man,
Speaker 1: but like, I's got suffering money. But I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: on the street, and I know there's somebody out there
Speaker 1: that can help me out to finance me. I have
Speaker 1: money coming to them from the government. How much money
Speaker 1: you got coming in from the government, About eight hundreds
Speaker 1: a month? So how do you pay the rest of
Speaker 1: your rent? The rest of the thousand dollars for your rent?
Speaker 1: I mean, I have people that helped me out and stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll do sign all to underside whatever I can,
Speaker 1: and you know, I just try to make money as
Speaker 1: much as possible throughout the weeks to come. But every month,
Speaker 1: you know, being eighteen hundred dollars of months is crazy.
Speaker 1: And if I had a house, I wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: kneel of that much. No, I mean, yeah, because if
Speaker 1: you had a house. But you know what, you know
Speaker 1: what you could do. Let me put you on the
Speaker 1: line with with Matt because what they can do is
Speaker 1: they can do an asset lending, and asset lending is
Speaker 1: pretty much saying if you buy purchase a two family house,
Speaker 1: you you make the money or for the other apartments,
Speaker 1: and that's how you pay your part of the rent.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's an option for you, especially since you have
Speaker 1: the down payment and everything already and enough for the
Speaker 1: closing course. So hold on, let me put you on
Speaker 1: the on the line with with one of my people
Speaker 1: and see if they can help you. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can, but I mean it
Speaker 1: might be a good way to go, because you know
Speaker 1: that way you can say the two apartments, pay your
Speaker 1: rent and pay your mortgage, and then you just live
Speaker 1: in the on the last apartment with your family. That
Speaker 1: might be an option. I wanted to do anything because,
Speaker 1: like I said, I got I got three kids and
Speaker 1: a white man. I don't want to be on the street.
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose my family, my life right now,
Speaker 1: hold on, brother, thank you all right, get it off
Speaker 1: your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

Speaker 1: I died in nineteen sixty nine. Jelly Belly from Boston. Hey,
Speaker 1: Jelly Belly, get it off for Charlamagne? Right, Yes, Jelly.
Speaker 1: When you started therapy, do you remember the first UM
Speaker 1: interview that you did that you transformed? Do you realize
Speaker 1: you was you change? Oh? I don't. I would have
Speaker 1: to give it some thought for some reason. Why G
Speaker 1: popped in my head just now because I remember having
Speaker 1: a conversation with YG about therapy when he was here.
Speaker 1: I think this was after Nipsey past. Maybe I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: You know what that Nipsey moment, I realized I had
Speaker 1: changed too, because I never thought I would have pay
Speaker 1: for the person who actually killed Nipsey, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I looked at that brother and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: that brother had to be in some real pain. He
Speaker 1: had to be dealing with some real trauma to to
Speaker 1: do that, to do that to Nipsey, not just shoot him,
Speaker 1: but would kick him the way that he did that.
Speaker 1: That that moment, I definitely felt the real change. Absolutely. Okay,
Speaker 1: And what about ye and um Envy? Did you guys
Speaker 1: see a change after his therapy session, that you guys
Speaker 1: were scared afterwards, or like Charlemagne, I would say this,
Speaker 1: he got a little he got more kinkier. So like
Speaker 1: you know, I can tell that he needed some more love.
Speaker 1: Like I guess, he wanted more self love and more
Speaker 1: outside love. So he comes in asking for more hugs.
Speaker 1: He stands behind me more. I do see that. I've
Speaker 1: been going to therapy though since twenty sixteen. Thank you, Mama. No,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Lead with love, that's all. That's all I
Speaker 1: got to say. Lee would love everybody. I love, Thank you,

Speaker 1: every man. I love what y'all do. Thank you. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran man. I'm a labeled sixty percent disabled
Speaker 1: from the military. I've been trying to purchase a home
Speaker 1: for the past six years, man, six seven years. I
Speaker 1: just I'm unable to do it. Man. I raised my
Speaker 1: credit from five forty all the way to seven eighty,
Speaker 1: and then I told her man, for some reason, cop
Speaker 1: of the one place that I missed a payment or
Speaker 1: something like that in my credit drop from seven eighty
Speaker 1: to like six forty, and right now I raised it
Speaker 1: right back up to seven ten. And I'm it's just
Speaker 1: hard for me to get alone. Man, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. Um, well, you hold on a line.
Speaker 1: I gotta credit. Do that that I get your credit
Speaker 1: back up, and then it's just a matter of finding
Speaker 1: a property. Do you have income coming in? Oh yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I worked on a wife's work. I get income from
Speaker 1: the military, so the income is not a problem. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, and then um yeah, we should be able
Speaker 1: to find this is your first time, your first time
Speaker 1: purchasing the home, first time? Man, Oh yeah, so you'll
Speaker 1: qualifying the regulations. All right. You hold on him and
Speaker 1: I put you on my guy that could possibly get
Speaker 1: you a loan. I want to say this to this
Speaker 1: brother too. Man. This is why America pisses me off,
Speaker 1: because this is a veteran who you know, was on
Speaker 1: the front lines for our country. I feel like all
Speaker 1: veterans should get free healthcare. You should get all you
Speaker 1: should get free room in board, right, and you should
Speaker 1: get like a stipend every month to take care of
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, whatever your needs are, you should be
Speaker 1: getting taken care of for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: You should not be in this position at all. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought they had special programs from veterans. I know
Speaker 1: in Detroit they do now they have special programs for veterans.
Speaker 1: And then they have FHR loans where he would only
Speaker 1: have to put down three percent or three and a
Speaker 1: half percent. But um, yeah, I'll get you with a
Speaker 1: mortgage guy that can help you out and hopefully he
Speaker 1: can get you put point you in the right direction. Right, man,
Speaker 1: I definitely appreciate that. Man, God bless y'all. Man, his
Speaker 1: name is Matt. I'm gonna put you on with Matt,
Speaker 1: master guy that gets a people loans. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: get it off your chest. Eight hundred five A five
Speaker 1: one oh five one. And that's the reason why I
Speaker 1: do those seminars, to try to teach people so people
Speaker 1: don't go in the wrong direction. And you can help
Speaker 1: people get loans, and there's different ways. And the people
Speaker 1: that I'm around its way smarter than me when it
Speaker 1: comes to real estate, and I can ask them and
Speaker 1: ain't no ways, and they've been able to do this
Speaker 1: a million times before, and the next seminar, we're doing
Speaker 1: this in Atlanta on March fourteenth, where we break it
Speaker 1: down everywhere from vets to fah loans, to first time
Speaker 1: home buyers, to investment properties to multi units to all that.
Speaker 1: We bring everybody from credit repair to attorneys, to contractors,
Speaker 1: to conventional lending to hard money lending. We break it
Speaker 1: all down because we really try to help people. I
Speaker 1: know Drama's been one of the seminars and he recently
Speaker 1: pursedes his crib and we just try to help as
Speaker 1: many people as possible because I want to see people,
Speaker 1: you know, owning their own homes instead of renting. So
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll see you guys in Atlanta on the fourteenth.
Speaker 1: All right, now, we got rooms on the way, yes,
Speaker 1: and we'll be talking about Mike Tyson he to boycott Hulu.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you why. All right, we'll get into that next.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Go Moore, the Breakfast Club team.
Speaker 1: This is the rumor rapport with Angela Yee on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Well, Mike Tyson wants you to boycott Hulu. Now.
Speaker 1: He put out a statement on his Instagram page. He said,
Speaker 1: these actions taken by Hulu are just the tip of
Speaker 1: the iceberg. We shouldn't be surprised by these abhorrent actions,
Speaker 1: as they represent the systemic racism that has plagued Hollywood
Speaker 1: for its entire existence. These corporate giants hide behind employees
Speaker 1: and praise themselves for offering tone deaf attempts at diversity
Speaker 1: and inclusion, like Hulu's Black Stories playlists that recommends stories
Speaker 1: about black culture to viewers on the app. Yet behind
Speaker 1: closed doors, they steal stories from the black community, all
Speaker 1: because they are doing an unauthorized mini series of the
Speaker 1: Tyson Story without compensation. Yeah. I never understood unauthor unauthorized
Speaker 1: book or documentaries or movies about people, Like how can
Speaker 1: someone just make something about you, use your name, your story,
Speaker 1: your likeness, and that compensate you. I've never understood that. Well,
Speaker 1: Mike Tyxon is, by the way, doing his own authorized
Speaker 1: autobiography too. That story is in development, so it will
Speaker 1: be coming in coming out soon. But there's nothing you
Speaker 1: can do about it, right, it seems always it is
Speaker 1: always something you can do. I'm sure, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's some type of legal action. I think people don't
Speaker 1: be wanting to, you know, go down that road because
Speaker 1: you know, these networks got so much goddamn money. You
Speaker 1: know what I meaning? These companies you're trying to go
Speaker 1: up and gets got so much money. But I don't
Speaker 1: get it. You think people were boycott Hulu? Um, I
Speaker 1: don't see why not? Why not? I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure we put it out there because Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: clearly did it. Or you know, even with the Dave
Speaker 1: Chappelle's situation is different, right because everybody says yeah, but
Speaker 1: everybody said he boycotted. But also what really helped Dave
Speaker 1: was HBO Max removing it and Netflix removing it. You
Speaker 1: think people would have boycotted those shows were still up
Speaker 1: there without those networks taking that down. I think it's easier.
Speaker 1: I think he said he didn't want people to watch it,
Speaker 1: so he told them don't watch it, don't stream it
Speaker 1: because it was on for a little while. And then
Speaker 1: when they they gonna make any money from it too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it helps when the network supports the artist,
Speaker 1: supports the creative. All right now, Nicki Minaj her barbs
Speaker 1: are sending death threats to Claudia Jordan. I know, right,
Speaker 1: all right, So this is what Claudia Jordan said, and
Speaker 1: you know, she has a show on Fox Soul, and
Speaker 1: she was telling a story about running into Meek Mill
Speaker 1: and Nicki minaj Here's what she said. Meek got upset
Speaker 1: about someone trying to take a picture of them in restaurant.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, it's Nicki Minaje, the biggest rapper of
Speaker 1: all time at the time, and Meek Mills like they're
Speaker 1: a hot celebrity rap couple, and of course someone's gonna
Speaker 1: try to take a picture, and he like made a scene.
Speaker 1: I remember feeling pretty like kind of bad Nicki. She
Speaker 1: was like yo, okay, port nick She was trying to
Speaker 1: control her guy like just chill, just chill, and he
Speaker 1: was just like I think and we were one table over.
Speaker 1: It was like super uncomfortable. What did she say that
Speaker 1: was bad? The part where she said Nikki was I
Speaker 1: guess the hottest And then she said at that time, Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. I saw when this first happened,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, the barbs are going to
Speaker 1: be mad. I didn't hear that, util you just said it,
Speaker 1: and that's what they were mad about. And she wasn't
Speaker 1: trying to insult Nicki Minaj. No, it's jay Z who
Speaker 1: said before that you're you're you're only going to be
Speaker 1: like that white hot artist once. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you can always be consistently hot. But that that that
Speaker 1: time when this year a moment like you know, that's
Speaker 1: that's a few years were sending out death threats. Listen
Speaker 1: to what Claudia had to say, Yeah, doing a little
Speaker 1: death threats and the you know, i'most spit on you
Speaker 1: when I see you because you talked about Meek Mills
Speaker 1: and I found you was trying to shade her in
Speaker 1: your compliment Claudia, you can definitely tell her story because
Speaker 1: it's her story to tell, But what was the context?
Speaker 1: What was the reason she was She was talking about
Speaker 1: Meek Mill and how he was a little acting out.
Speaker 1: So in the course of the story, she's talking about
Speaker 1: seeing Nikki and Meek out together and how Meek was
Speaker 1: really upset and kind of embarrassing Nikki. So that was it.
Speaker 1: She wasn't trying to insult Nicki Minaj, but they took
Speaker 1: it that way, all right. Natri is going to be
Speaker 1: co lead opposite Eve in a new ABC show that
Speaker 1: ABC hour long pilot is called Queens. So it's four
Speaker 1: strange and out of touch women and their forties reuniting
Speaker 1: for a chance to recapture their fame and regain the
Speaker 1: swagger they had as the Nasty Bitches. It was a

Speaker 1: hip hop. Well, well, so what she's not gonna be
Speaker 1: on Power Normal? She is still they said, she is
Speaker 1: still going to be. She's no longer a series regular. Yep.

Speaker 1: killed off, But she is. They said, gonna reprise her
Speaker 1: role in some fashion down the road. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what's happening on the next season. Of course, they're
Speaker 1: not going to tell you because they're shooting the new
Speaker 1: season of Goals and now I believe, so we shall see.
Speaker 1: But so congratulations to my girl Natri. Also, Tyler Perry
Speaker 1: has another drama that's going to be a BT plus
Speaker 1: and it's called All the Queen's Men, and that's going
Speaker 1: to follow the female owner of an upscale strip club
Speaker 1: in Atlanta who is savvy and charming. They said they're
Speaker 1: going to be shooting that in Georgia and Atlanta. Okay,
Speaker 1: All right, Britney Spears. Her mom has denied calling Columbus
Speaker 1: short the N word. Now, he had done an interview
Speaker 1: and he was talking about the incident that happened. He
Speaker 1: was a backup dancer for Britney Spears, by the way,
Speaker 1: and he had choreographed her tour back in two thousand
Speaker 1: and four. He was on Jazzy Bell's YouTube show Inside
Speaker 1: Hollywood earlier this month and he said this, like, I
Speaker 1: wasn't shocked when it happened. Look where they're from. They're
Speaker 1: from a Louisiana. Just because they're in Hollywood, you know
Speaker 1: they have black bodyguards. Don't mean that they don't behind
Speaker 1: closed doors use that word. And the way it came
Speaker 1: out was so effortless. Did you ever felt that Britney
Speaker 1: Spears was racist? Well after that, I felt like maybe
Speaker 1: she was using me to piss them off for some reason.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. No, I think she is a
Speaker 1: really sweet person that was toward tormented. I liking it
Speaker 1: to like Princess Diana, she was the pop princess of
Speaker 1: this one of the world. Yeah, I just pulled it
Speaker 1: up on us Weekly, you know. Her mom replied, I know,
Speaker 1: I got it right here. Okay, she said, nigga, please,
Speaker 1: I would never no. Her mom, Lynn Spears denied it,
Speaker 1: and she said, I want to be very clear, those
Speaker 1: terrible words are not remotely in my vocabulary. She said
Speaker 1: that to The New York Post, page six. I would
Speaker 1: never say that to anyone, much less my daughter. Ever.
Speaker 1: He has it in his book too, by the way.
Speaker 1: All right, well that is your rumor report. All right,
Speaker 1: now we got FROMT page News. Next we'll be talking about. Yes,
Speaker 1: let's talk about this is George Floyd Police Reform bill.
Speaker 1: House Democrats have reintroduced that bill finally. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: Billy Jean, Billy Jean morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Guee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting
Speaker 1: too front page News where we're starting easy. Oh, I
Speaker 1: wanted to clarify something earlier. I know Charlomagne had a
Speaker 1: question about the minimum wage and the COVID relief bill. Well,
Speaker 1: they had ruled against even putting that in the bill
Speaker 1: for COVID relief. That's why it's not in it. It's
Speaker 1: not that it didn't pass, it's just that they ruled
Speaker 1: that they couldn't put it in the actual COVID relief
Speaker 1: package that bill. They'll have to do that separately. So
Speaker 1: that's why it's not there. It's not that it was
Speaker 1: voted on all right now. House Democrats also reintroduced policing
Speaker 1: legislation that is named in honor of George Floyd, the
Speaker 1: George Floyd Justice and Policing Act of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: That's what the bill is called. They want to overhaul
Speaker 1: qualified immunity for law enforcement and prohibitions on racial profiling
Speaker 1: on the part of law enforcement, and a ban on
Speaker 1: no knock warrants and federal drug cases. They could vote
Speaker 1: on this proposal as soon as next week. Yeah, finally,
Speaker 1: you know, the George Floyd Policing Act, making weed legal,
Speaker 1: decriminalizing weed, whatever it is. Those are some things I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, they would have knocked out of the park asap,
Speaker 1: because those are things that they actually were running on.
Speaker 1: You know, those were reasons they were telling us we
Speaker 1: should vote if you want to George Floyd Policing Act,
Speaker 1: if you want you know, marijuana legal, vote Democrat. So
Speaker 1: they should have knocked that out of the park early,
Speaker 1: gets done. Next week. Joe Biden posted on Twitter, I'm
Speaker 1: pleased at the House, but vote next week on the
Speaker 1: George Floyd Justice and Policing Act. I encourage the House
Speaker 1: to pass it following Senate consideration. I hope to be
Speaker 1: able to sign it into law. A landmark police to
Speaker 1: perform worm bill. So I know he came in and
Speaker 1: did all these things immediately, but the main thing is
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that it becomes an actual
Speaker 1: law so that it's not something the next president can overturn.
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's discuss this supposed object that could
Speaker 1: have been a UFO. The FBI is looking into an
Speaker 1: encounter with the UFO that was in flying over New Mexico.
Speaker 1: That flight was American Airlines headed to Phoenix from Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Here is what they said, Abby targets up here. We
Speaker 1: just had stuff to go right over the top of
Speaker 1: us that I hate to say, this looked like a
Speaker 1: long celindrical object that almost looked like a cruise muscial
Speaker 1: type of think, moving really fast but ent right over
Speaker 1: the top of the will listen, it's time, I mean listen, man.
Speaker 1: You know you know I'm an avid believer and extraterrestrial
Speaker 1: simply because you cannot look at this planet Earth and
Speaker 1: look at all the diversity of life on this Earth
Speaker 1: and think that the universe is not as diverse. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got humans here and fish and animals, birds in
Speaker 1: the sky, all types of stuff. You think that the
Speaker 1: universe is not as diverse? Come on, you think we're
Speaker 1: the smartest life forms and all of these galaxies? Please?
Speaker 1: Did you have an incident? Also, I've definitely seen the
Speaker 1: UFO before. So are in third grade? Now? You said
Speaker 1: something somebody abducted you. I've been abducted before as well. Right,
Speaker 1: how did you skip over that? But talk about this?
Speaker 1: I mean I've had a bunch of actually actually wrote
Speaker 1: a book called Black Privilege, Opportunity Comes to those who creatives,
Speaker 1: some New yng Times bestseller. I you know, detail these
Speaker 1: experiences in death. But they said you had two holes
Speaker 1: in your had two scars on both shins. They were
Speaker 1: in the exact same place, they were the exact same length,
Speaker 1: woke up, woke up in them in the morning with
Speaker 1: them there. That was recently though, that was in the
Speaker 1: past five years, five six years. Absolutely, But you know what,
Speaker 1: but listen, I see the looks on your face. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to see the looks on your face when
Speaker 1: y'all realized aliens are real. Extra trust is real, and
Speaker 1: they're looking at us like we were aliens the whole time.
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at you and be like, whatever that
Speaker 1: is on your face isn't natural study. You've been studying
Speaker 1: humans for years. That that that that black stuff on
Speaker 1: your face, that doesn't come naturally. Shout to Kevin Hart,
Speaker 1: shout the college shot. But you, my brothers, you want
Speaker 1: everybody to get a Beijing conspiracy shot. Carter, I can't
Speaker 1: see my brothers. God, what are we going? What are
Speaker 1: we going into next? Gracious? Let's him die in peace,
Speaker 1: my brod that when we come back, doctor Carr Hart
Speaker 1: will be joining it. That's a good transition. Why from
Speaker 1: one thing to that? Go ahead, that doctor Carl Hard
Speaker 1: he um. I guess he's an avid heroine music. I
Speaker 1: guess it's a good transition because it beat me up, Scottie,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? He gets hot right off heroin. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: The book out called drug Use for Growing Ups, Chasing
Speaker 1: Liberty in the Land of Fear, And don't just call
Speaker 1: him a drug user. He's a professor of neuroscience, and
Speaker 1: psychology at Columbia University. He did an aviad drug user.
Speaker 1: That he's a professor at Columbia University. And by the way,
Speaker 1: he's the first line in his book is I'm like
Speaker 1: he says, like, I'm I'm an avid drug user. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm an unapologetic drug use. That I don't want to
Speaker 1: just define him as just that though, like he's just
Speaker 1: a regular just you know, he studies it. But just
Speaker 1: the way he said, he's doctor Carhard, he's an avid
Speaker 1: drug user. Coming up next, he's he's an aviad drug user.
Speaker 1: That that's what he tells. But I'm saying what makes
Speaker 1: him qualified to write a book is he's also a
Speaker 1: neuroscientist and he's known for his research on drug abuse
Speaker 1: and drug addiction. There we go, however you want to
Speaker 1: say it. He's an avid drug user that teachers at
Speaker 1: Columbia University. We're gonna talk to him next, y'all want
Speaker 1: to put it out there, all right, he's a heroin user.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to him. It's a breakfast club corning.
Speaker 1: What the breakfast club? We got a special us in
Speaker 1: the building today. Yes, indeed, doctor Carl Hard, Columbia University professor. Welcome, sir,
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. Good morning, sir. Tell them
Speaker 1: a little bit more about yourself. I'm a professor at Columbia.
Speaker 1: I also teach, I mean work at the New York
Speaker 1: State Psychiatric Institute, where I'm a research scientist. I've been
Speaker 1: doing that for about twenty five years. Before that, I
Speaker 1: was at Yale, and before that, I was at the
Speaker 1: University of California, San Francisco. That we talked about you
Speaker 1: earlier this week because you were all over the news,
Speaker 1: got a book out, and you were talking that you
Speaker 1: you are an admitted heroin user. We'll get to the
Speaker 1: book first. The book, it was all over the news
Speaker 1: and I saw you on that crack Um documentary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw him on that crack Like It's great. It's great.
Speaker 1: You should watch it if you guys hadn't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: But the book is called drug Used for Growing Ups,
Speaker 1: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear. It's explaining that title.
Speaker 1: The real action is in the subtitle Chasing Liberty in
Speaker 1: the Land of Fear. I used drugs as a topic
Speaker 1: to explore our own liberty. I'm a drug expert, so
Speaker 1: I use drugs and I was trying to point out
Speaker 1: to people that the Declaration of Independence, for example, guarantees
Speaker 1: all of us three birthrights, life, liberty, and the pursuit
Speaker 1: of happiness as long as you don't mess with anybody
Speaker 1: else's ability to do the same. Now, what that means
Speaker 1: is that you can live your life however you choose.
Speaker 1: And I was using drugs as a topic. It's like,
Speaker 1: why should people care what you put in your body
Speaker 1: as long as you are a good person. And so
Speaker 1: in exploring this topic this past week, I realized that
Speaker 1: I'm an example of how moralistic we are. Regardless of
Speaker 1: what kind of person you are, people will attack you
Speaker 1: if you engage in certain behaviors that have been deemed evil.
Speaker 1: Whether there was a time when homosexuality was the case,
Speaker 1: there was a time when black people were being attacked
Speaker 1: for just being black. Now, drugs, crack, or heroine is
Speaker 1: the evil thing to engage in because those things hurt people,
Speaker 1: including the person using them. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: A great question. So I didn't ask a question, but well,
Speaker 1: I was trying to save you, right, because on the
Speaker 1: one hand, you should know that heroin is a medication
Speaker 1: that is approved for treatment. Heroin and morphine are essentially
Speaker 1: the same drug. Point is is that heroin is a
Speaker 1: perfectly good pain reliever. It also induces euphoria and a
Speaker 1: wide range of effects that we desire, like pleasure. So
Speaker 1: when you say that it doesn't harm you, certainly it
Speaker 1: can harm you. If people overdo it and they don't
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, Yeah, they certainly can be harmed,
Speaker 1: just like when you drive a car. But is it
Speaker 1: addictive though it is heroin addictive? Is heroin addictive? Certainly
Speaker 1: can be addictive. You drink alcohol, not really well, people
Speaker 1: drink alcohol. Alcohol is addictive. In my book, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to help people to understand what makes things addictive, not
Speaker 1: the substance itself. Because as much as seventy five the
Speaker 1: people who use heroin are not addicted, they don't have
Speaker 1: any problem. When you see this, you say, if most
Speaker 1: of the people who use that drug, or any other
Speaker 1: drug for that matter, are not addicted, then you have
Speaker 1: to look beyond the drug itself. And in this book,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell people what those factors are that
Speaker 1: increases someone's likelihood of becoming addicted. I'm fascinating body's conversation.
Speaker 1: What do you what are your drug the choice? What
Speaker 1: are my drugs of choice? Yeah, so like that kind
Speaker 1: of question. For example, it's like saying, what's your favorite
Speaker 1: sexual position. It's a private thing. Well, no, you put
Speaker 1: it in the book. You said you do heroin. You
Speaker 1: said you do hero No, no no, no, Hello. I put
Speaker 1: a lot of things in the book. I said that
Speaker 1: I have done heroin. For example, like in the past
Speaker 1: week the media, I think it's been said I do
Speaker 1: heroin every day, I inject and so forth. As it's
Speaker 1: just untrue. You know, we're in a pandemic. How can
Speaker 1: I get heroin in this pandemic? At least I can't,
Speaker 1: And any heroine I ever use was pharmaceutically grade heroin.
Speaker 1: I don't do drugs at are off the street. That's stupid.
Speaker 1: You know, I published Brooklyn or the Bronx. United States
Speaker 1: ain't the only country, you know. I travel a lot
Speaker 1: in this book. I travel to five different continents, and
Speaker 1: heroin is available on pharmaceutical grade in many of these
Speaker 1: countries in which I travel too. So people they have
Speaker 1: this idea of someone who uses heroin as some poor
Speaker 1: soul who is injecting the drug and is a slave
Speaker 1: to the drug and they think that heroin is the
Speaker 1: reason for that person's problem, because that person definitely exists,
Speaker 1: but that the person's problem is not so much heroin
Speaker 1: as everything else, Like the person might have co occurring
Speaker 1: psychiatric illnesses, the person might have had some traumatic stuff
Speaker 1: that's happened to their life. Can I ask you a question? Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I always have people say, well, I'm chasing that high
Speaker 1: I got the first time that I use it? Is
Speaker 1: that a real thing? Because I've heard so many people
Speaker 1: say that on documentaries. Yeah, I know, because we are
Speaker 1: willing to accept that, right, Um, it's certainly true. Like
Speaker 1: just think of the first time you enjoyed an orgasm.
Speaker 1: It's like it was amazing for me the first time.
Speaker 1: It's like, am I chasing the first time I had
Speaker 1: an orgasm? No, of course not. But aldough I drink
Speaker 1: that feeling. I like that orgasm can't kill me? It
Speaker 1: what orgasm can't kill me? You certainly can't get kill
Speaker 1: I mean you think about sexual even translated the diseases
Speaker 1: and and so forth. Again, the title of the book
Speaker 1: is drug used for grown Ups. I'm trying to have
Speaker 1: a grown up conversation about drugs, and that's why. But
Speaker 1: That's why we're asking because you know, we don't know,
Speaker 1: like for instant, would you consider yourself addicted to heroin?
Speaker 1: Or when is the last time you use heroin more
Speaker 1: than a year ago? I don't know, Okay, but this
Speaker 1: is the thing. Your press makes it seem like you
Speaker 1: use it every morning, like you poppy, click open the
Speaker 1: fireplace and get me that. But that's why we have
Speaker 1: you here. I want you to know you we're not
Speaker 1: We're not judging. You were bringing you here to have
Speaker 1: the conversation. Trust me. I appreciate it and I know it.
Speaker 1: What is the message you're trying to get across? Drug
Speaker 1: use for grown ups? All right? So you all know
Speaker 1: as At Yams, right, yes? And you know he died
Speaker 1: from what was termed a drug overdose, right Yes. When
Speaker 1: that brother died, his mom contacted me and she gave
Speaker 1: me his toxicology to report and showed me what was
Speaker 1: in the system. And it appears that he may have
Speaker 1: died from a combination of opioids and other sedatives. Now,
Speaker 1: for years, I have been writing that if you're going
Speaker 1: to use opioids, don't combine it with other sedatives like alcohol.
Speaker 1: People like promethazine, don't combine your opioids with those drugs
Speaker 1: because it increases the likelihood of respiratory depression. So I
Speaker 1: made a promise to her that I would do everything
Speaker 1: I could to educate the public about this. And that's
Speaker 1: one of the main messages from the book. And this
Speaker 1: is the message that the New York Post does not say.
Speaker 1: And that's why I am. It upsets me so much
Speaker 1: when I have nothing but love and can passion and
Speaker 1: people who are attacking me. Yeah, I'm not gonna to watch.
Speaker 1: I'm watching your body language and I see you shaking.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, is he going through withdrawals? He upset
Speaker 1: about a break man? Come on, man, you know I'm
Speaker 1: set clearly. Yeah, you know. It's like, first of all,
Speaker 1: I have too much respect for you, too much respect
Speaker 1: for you, and too much respect for you not to
Speaker 1: come here and be correct. All right. We have more
Speaker 1: with doctor Carhart when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Come on, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the breakfast Club. We have doctor car Hart,
Speaker 1: were still kicking it with him. Would you want your
Speaker 1: children to indulge it in drug use? Because you know
Speaker 1: growing up, I see you from Miami, from a poverty
Speaker 1: stricken area. You've you sold drugs, you use drugs as
Speaker 1: a kid. You're engaged in petty crimes. But you know
Speaker 1: one thing growing up, the first thing your parents say
Speaker 1: is don't use drugs. Would you advise your kids to
Speaker 1: use drugs? And tell your kids about using drugs. It's
Speaker 1: like saying, would you advise your kids to have sex? Right?
Speaker 1: You know, sex the correlations because everybody I hope has
Speaker 1: had sex. But I'm trying to marry. Well, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you and the kids are getting married, and sex it's pleasurable.
Speaker 1: So when you said, would you advise your kids to
Speaker 1: engage in drugs? And all wouldn't advise them. But that's
Speaker 1: not my concern whether they do it or now. My
Speaker 1: concern is keeping them safe. So my kids telling them
Speaker 1: where a condom exactly, exactly, the street exactly. Because the
Speaker 1: most dangerous thing about drugs to most people who are
Speaker 1: black and brown is not the drugs, it's the police.
Speaker 1: And so that's why I would really tell people don't.
Speaker 1: But I was in it sometimes to know what's in it.
Speaker 1: But you tell your kids don't use drugs, like I
Speaker 1: tell my kids don't use your don't I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell them go to the store where you know
Speaker 1: what's in the drug. I'm just saying, don't use it
Speaker 1: at all. People used to be like that about marijuana too,
Speaker 1: basically that you don't some weird it's terrible. Now it's illegal.
Speaker 1: I'm Can we come back to your point please. The
Speaker 1: point you made was if we don't know what's in
Speaker 1: these substances on the street, you're absolutely right. So the
Speaker 1: country says we're in an opioid crisis, one thing that
Speaker 1: is true. We certainly have had a number of overdoses.
Speaker 1: And one of the main reasons that people are overdosing
Speaker 1: is because they get tainted drug. They think that they
Speaker 1: may have something like heroin or oxycodone, when in fact
Speaker 1: they have fentanyl. Fentanyl is a lot more potent than
Speaker 1: heroin or oxycodone. That means that a smaller amount of
Speaker 1: that drug is enough and sometimes cases to kill you.
Speaker 1: And we can solve that problem, just like they did
Speaker 1: in places like Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, Austria. They
Speaker 1: have these centers where you can submit small amounts of
Speaker 1: your drug and you can have a test it and
Speaker 1: get a chemical print out of what's contained in your drug,
Speaker 1: and that way you know, if some contaminant that's dangerous
Speaker 1: is in your drug, don't take it. Have you ever
Speaker 1: tried anything else to deal with whatever trauma makes this
Speaker 1: than you? Because so many folks turn to drugs when
Speaker 1: they have pain. Have you tried any other methods? Of course?
Speaker 1: I mean I love comedy, you know, I go see shows.
Speaker 1: There are a number of ways that we deal with
Speaker 1: unpleasant things in our lives, and I would never tell
Speaker 1: somebody to turn to drugs to deal with trauma or
Speaker 1: even try. Wait wait, wait, I'm talking about heroin. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about crack, I'm talking about meth. I'm talking about cocaine.
Speaker 1: I ain't talking about Iowa scar trooms and need and
Speaker 1: stuff like. First of all, to be clear, I am
Speaker 1: not telling anybody to do drugs. I don't have to.
Speaker 1: People will seek out drugs. My job is to try
Speaker 1: and help people do this activity as safely as possible
Speaker 1: if you're going to do it. So there's notion that
Speaker 1: I'm somehow promoting drugs. The first sentence in my author's
Speaker 1: note is that this book is not promoting drugs. That's
Speaker 1: not what I do. I do know when people say
Speaker 1: you have an addictive personality, is that a real thing?
Speaker 1: Because they feel like, you know, you said a certain
Speaker 1: percentage of people will have issues with addiction and some
Speaker 1: people won't, But how do you know? Yeah, so this
Speaker 1: notion of an addictive personality is myth. Now, it is
Speaker 1: true that some people will be more likely to become
Speaker 1: addicted than other people, and some of those things I
Speaker 1: try to lay out earlier. If you have co occurring
Speaker 1: psychiatric illnesses and your parents, if your parents are addicts,
Speaker 1: is that No, there's no real evidence that says like
Speaker 1: your genetics will determine whether you become addicted, Although that's
Speaker 1: a popular sort of saying and in science we are
Speaker 1: still investigating it, but the evidence is very weak. But
Speaker 1: also consider this. Just think about people who have unrealistic
Speaker 1: expectations placed on them because they are supporting their families,
Speaker 1: their friends, they're supporting all of these people, and they
Speaker 1: have to perform night in, night out, and they have
Speaker 1: to do all of these kinds of things. Those sort
Speaker 1: of unrealistic expectations placed on them also increases the likelihood
Speaker 1: that these people too will become addicted. So that's why
Speaker 1: you tell them go to therapy, tell them take up meditation,
Speaker 1: tell them go do yoga. I'm not gonna tell them
Speaker 1: running do heroin. Well, I guess for me, man, it's
Speaker 1: I've seen so many bad examples of heroin users. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, crackheads. I've never seen any functioning
Speaker 1: heroin users are functioning crack addicts. And what are you
Speaker 1: looking at once? You know? I mean I good effects
Speaker 1: of heroin? Like you always hear the bad effects of
Speaker 1: her when you hear liver and kinney disease, you see
Speaker 1: deteriorating the brain cells. You hear all these things, like,
Speaker 1: what's the good effects of her? Like, what's what's something
Speaker 1: good about it? Okay, So in twenty fifteen, I went
Speaker 1: to Switzerland and I worked in a heroin clinic where
Speaker 1: people who are actually a heroin addicted. They received heroin
Speaker 1: twice a day every day. Most of those people are employed,
Speaker 1: all of them have housing. Most of them are happy
Speaker 1: their health improved because they don't know they no longer
Speaker 1: have to be out on the street looking for heroin,
Speaker 1: and they have no interest in stopping using their hero
Speaker 1: and they are productive members of their society. That's all good.
Speaker 1: That's what we want from people, right, But what about
Speaker 1: it on the body though, you know, Yeah, if I
Speaker 1: don't drink this water, I'm not gonna go. You know,
Speaker 1: some of my mother's vc are to make money to
Speaker 1: get the water. Yeah, I win it. If it's addictive,
Speaker 1: I'm doing whatever it takes because I need that hit. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: like that story that you're telling is like an extreme anecdote.
Speaker 1: Certainly you can find that person. But that's something up. No, no,
Speaker 1: hold not. I'm from the hood. I started studying drugs
Speaker 1: because of the whole crack era. You know, I believe
Speaker 1: crack was destroying my community, just like everybody else, the
Speaker 1: whole New Jack City thing. You know, I believed all
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But the problem is it's that
Speaker 1: I misattributed what was going on with those people. I
Speaker 1: thought it was the drug, when in fact it was
Speaker 1: all these other things like that. Right on. So this
Speaker 1: is true. People are do experience problems, but don't get
Speaker 1: it twisted. When most of the people who are using
Speaker 1: heroin something like heroin, they're not gonna tell you because
Speaker 1: of all of this negative judgment. Of course, the ones
Speaker 1: who are functioning well, they're not gonna say so the
Speaker 1: only ones that you see are the ones who are
Speaker 1: contrite and they are repentant because they want your help
Speaker 1: and they know that's the only story that you will accept.
Speaker 1: And so what I'm trying to do in the book
Speaker 1: is to show people that that story is actually killing people,
Speaker 1: because people are less likely to seek help when they
Speaker 1: need it, and we are less likely to implement the
Speaker 1: programs that we need to help people. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: said that because I agree with you when you say
Speaker 1: drugs should be legal. Whenever I see people get locked
Speaker 1: up for you know, possession of crack or possession of
Speaker 1: heroin cocama, like, don't send them to jail, send them
Speaker 1: to rehab, provide them with opportunities, give them treatments. That's
Speaker 1: what I thought your stance was. Yeah, yeah, because that's easy.
Speaker 1: That's easy. I mean, that's what it. Gonnas was right. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm arguing that we should regulate all these drugs. That way,
Speaker 1: we'll have quality control, we'll have better education, all of that.
Speaker 1: But if you argue that that respective, you have to
Speaker 1: understand that we have exaggerated the harmful effects of drugs.
Speaker 1: And in this book, I'm showing people how that's a
Speaker 1: tough that's a tough line to say, doctor Carr, that
Speaker 1: we've exaggerated the harmful effects of drugs. Have you seen
Speaker 1: what happens the crack addicted people, herold addicted people, What
Speaker 1: happens to their families, what happens to the communities that
Speaker 1: exist with individuals like that? Like, that's kind of hard
Speaker 1: to say we're exaggerating. We tell everybody that bullet story
Speaker 1: about crack, and that story is imprisoning us. It prevents
Speaker 1: us from looking at deeper what was going on. Oh,
Speaker 1: crack destroyed the community, and that's hold on, let me
Speaker 1: explain highest rates of unemployment. For example, we're in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty two. Crack didn't appear until late nineteen eighty five
Speaker 1: in most places in the country. Murder, we talk about
Speaker 1: murder rates. We had a peak spike in murder in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty again cracked in the period of nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 1: and then we had another spike in ninety one. And
Speaker 1: sure it might have had something to do with the
Speaker 1: crack sort of markets being developed, but not the pharmacological
Speaker 1: effects of the drug. Like we tell people, that's that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm saying that we just need to reevaluate.
Speaker 1: But it's developed. The story is developed more in the books,
Speaker 1: so I really encourage people to read the book. They
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Doctor Carhart. When we
Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club coming morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Doctor carl Hart.
Speaker 1: You talk about you haven't used heroin in over a
Speaker 1: year and a half. Yes, Um, of course, the news
Speaker 1: made it seem like you use it every day. So
Speaker 1: what gets you to the point where you have to
Speaker 1: use heroin like it? Is it socially? Is it something
Speaker 1: going on in your life? Is it just hanging out
Speaker 1: with the boys or you made it sound like smoking
Speaker 1: a cigarete let. You said better than doing the line
Speaker 1: is what they do. You've also talked about the withdrawal
Speaker 1: that you have to go through from that too, which
Speaker 1: is not easy. Right, So I'll answer this question. So
Speaker 1: one of the things that happens with heroin as well
Speaker 1: as some other drugs. Think of antidepressants in the same way.
Speaker 1: If you take heroin consecutively for weeks or months, and
Speaker 1: then you abruptly discontinue. Your body has grown accustomed to
Speaker 1: the drug being in it, and so as a result,
Speaker 1: when you abruptly discontinue it, you get withdrawal effects, and
Speaker 1: these withdrawal effects can be unpleasant. With alcohol. However, when
Speaker 1: you do this with alcohol, you might die. But whereas
Speaker 1: with heroin, you can't really die from heroin withdrawal, but
Speaker 1: with alcohol withdrawal you can die. So what got you
Speaker 1: to the point where you have to use heroin if
Speaker 1: you don't use it every day? Like? What is that?
Speaker 1: Is it just socially recollection? So I study drugs, right,
Speaker 1: and so I want to know everything about every aspect
Speaker 1: of what I study. So you used every drug before
Speaker 1: us to study? Damn near everyone? Have you? Certainly everyone
Speaker 1: that you probably have heard of? That heroin? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't particularly like smoking drugs. You know,
Speaker 1: I work out every day, so I like to make
Speaker 1: sure my lungs are good, and so I don't inject. No,
Speaker 1: I never inject. I mean, I'm back, I'm vain too.
Speaker 1: I don't want people looking at me. You don't smoke
Speaker 1: and you don't inject house Oh you take it orally? Still? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So, um,
Speaker 1: I wanted to know about every aspect of what I do,
Speaker 1: and part of that is to actually know something about
Speaker 1: the effects. Like if I would have just kind of
Speaker 1: believed the narrative, I would believe that heroin wasn't the
Speaker 1: most addictive thing that one could do, and one hit
Speaker 1: or two hits you're addicted. Just it's just simply not true.
Speaker 1: But if you getting to the point where you have
Speaker 1: you're going through withdrawals, you've probably done too much. You're
Speaker 1: probably abusing it. So somebody who has been on an
Speaker 1: antidepressant and then they abruptly discontinue and now they have withdrawal,
Speaker 1: we're saying what you were doing about taking that you
Speaker 1: can abuse with antidepress as well. That's that's approve of fact.
Speaker 1: But you've been taking it to feel better, and then
Speaker 1: you can still abuse it. Certainly you can abuse it.
Speaker 1: But you're saying it's wrong. I mean this, this is
Speaker 1: not inherently wrong. These are just inert substances. We as
Speaker 1: humans place all this morality and judgment on this, and
Speaker 1: that's part of the problem. And my fear is like
Speaker 1: somebody hearing this or reading your book and think it's okay, well,
Speaker 1: it's okay. The doctor said it's okay to use drugs
Speaker 1: every once in a while. He said, it's not as
Speaker 1: it's not bad for me to use drugs. It's just
Speaker 1: as bad as as having you know, I can die
Speaker 1: the same way from having an orgasm. That's my fear.
Speaker 1: When kids hear that, people hear that. Wait, did I
Speaker 1: say what you just said? That's what I felt like.
Speaker 1: I didn't say, Well, I just want to know what
Speaker 1: your message is. Just clear and Plaine, what are you
Speaker 1: trying to get across in drug used for growing up?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell people, for example, people who are
Speaker 1: using opioids. I'm trying to say, the risk is really
Speaker 1: increased when you use street drugs and not you don't
Speaker 1: know what's in it. See if you can get attested.
Speaker 1: It's important to know what's in your substance. Uh and so.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying to government officials, if you really cared
Speaker 1: about your population, you would have these drug checking facilities
Speaker 1: where people can submit small samples of their drugs and
Speaker 1: have them tested for purity, and then we will know
Speaker 1: if it contains any contaminants. I don't think I disagree
Speaker 1: with any of that, but I want to know why
Speaker 1: not just spend the money and resources on helping people
Speaker 1: get clean and providing better opportunities for people and people
Speaker 1: are dealing with some type of real trauma, you know,
Speaker 1: giving them other methods instead of drug use, because out
Speaker 1: of ten when people are on drugs, it's not for recreation.
Speaker 1: They're doing it because they're gonna do some type of trauma.
Speaker 1: And what he said, you can't go to CVS to
Speaker 1: go buy your hero and you can't say, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: let me go get a you know, some multious fruit
Speaker 1: snacks and let me get the side of heroin. You
Speaker 1: can't buy it. So you're telling people to test it.
Speaker 1: They're getting it from dealers because you can't buy right,
Speaker 1: that's right. So if you're going to get it from
Speaker 1: dealers and so forth, make sure you can find some
Speaker 1: way to get attested. At what point do you know
Speaker 1: you have a problem? At what point do you know? Yeah? Like,
Speaker 1: how many times? There's too many times? Don't thank you man,
Speaker 1: because we haven't talked about that. We just talked about
Speaker 1: the term addiction. So that's a great point. So when
Speaker 1: when I'm when I'm talking about the term addiction, I'm
Speaker 1: really talking about the American Psychiatric Association sort of definition,
Speaker 1: and that is when people have psychosocial disruptions and they're functioning.
Speaker 1: That is, they are failing to meet these major obligations,
Speaker 1: like they don't come to work, they don't go to school,
Speaker 1: they're not engaging in family sort of functions or events
Speaker 1: that are important. They're failing all of these sort of obligations.
Speaker 1: And the person themselves are disturbed about not meeting these
Speaker 1: obligations because if you miss work or you're missing appointments
Speaker 1: because you're at home watching porn. They said, that's the
Speaker 1: level too, when you know you're addicted dull. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm comparing a lot of stuff to heroin and crack.
Speaker 1: That is really some false equipment. Yeah, I agree, till me.
Speaker 1: Why man, because I think because I could do heroin
Speaker 1: once today for the first time, I could do something
Speaker 1: today right and literally blow off my family for the
Speaker 1: day that one time I blew off my family's appointments,
Speaker 1: Does that mean I'm irresponsible to that? I mean I
Speaker 1: have a problem. No, No, I mean you are so successful,
Speaker 1: all of you, all the likelihood of that happening, I'll
Speaker 1: actually stake my life on what if it does no
Speaker 1: old man. I'm just saying, the likelihood of that happening
Speaker 1: is so low. I mean, you you you're abscribing these
Speaker 1: magical properties to heroin that just don't do it once
Speaker 1: and die. Well if you do that, because that's certainly
Speaker 1: a possibility, right, that's certainly especially because you don't know
Speaker 1: what's in it and there's no way to tell, right,
Speaker 1: and you don't know what you're doing. And I don't
Speaker 1: think you will do that because you have demonstrated all
Speaker 1: of this responsibility in your life. What about you said
Speaker 1: you've been using heroin for the past five years is
Speaker 1: what I read. Yeah, so when did you first start?
Speaker 1: Like when didst did you first ever take or hit
Speaker 1: a heroin? And why? It might have been now maybe
Speaker 1: two two thousand and fifteen. Like I said, I wanted
Speaker 1: to know every aspect about what I do, and it
Speaker 1: was pharmaceutical grade, not in this country, in a country
Speaker 1: where drugs are decriminalized. You did e strictly for research purposes. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I wanted to know to make you feel when
Speaker 1: you when you first took there first hit, it was
Speaker 1: nice and euphoric, chilled, anxiety melts away, scared you wasn't nervous.
Speaker 1: You didn't think I might die. So I know what
Speaker 1: I'm doing one and I know it's pure, and I
Speaker 1: know not to take a large dose oftentimes, like like
Speaker 1: right now, we are all encouraged to get the COVID vaccine,
Speaker 1: and we all will. But you know, the people who
Speaker 1: are getting the vaccine know a lot less about that
Speaker 1: than I know about heroin. So you know, so it's
Speaker 1: it's more risky for me to take the vaccine than
Speaker 1: it is for me to take heroin. That I know
Speaker 1: the purity and I know the dose, that's not a
Speaker 1: risky proposition for me. The average person doesn't have that knowledge.
Speaker 1: You can do these things safely because you've studied it
Speaker 1: for thirty years. You know it's pierre, you know where
Speaker 1: you're getting it from. You know how much to take.
Speaker 1: The average person's coming but you're coming from a place.
Speaker 1: You're coming from a place of privilege, because there's plenty
Speaker 1: of people in point disenfranchise areas who are going to
Speaker 1: who can do heroin or any of these drugs, and
Speaker 1: they will get addicted. They're not doing it for rest.
Speaker 1: They don't have the luxury of doing it for research purposes.
Speaker 1: They're truly trying to escape something. See that. That's why
Speaker 1: I wrote the book. I wrote the book to try
Speaker 1: to help keep those people safe who will do this anyway.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a bad experience when you took anything,
Speaker 1: tried something? I'm sure, Well I'll tell you. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there was a time when I wanted to know
Speaker 1: what opioid withdrawal was like. So I talked some opioids
Speaker 1: for consecutive weeks and abruptly discontinued and I had withdrawal.
Speaker 1: I planned it like so it would happen the night
Speaker 1: before a big talk, so I could say that, you know,
Speaker 1: this is no big deal, so you're able to quit
Speaker 1: cold turkey? Oh yeah, yeah I did. That's not everybody
Speaker 1: story either, though. You know there are people who use
Speaker 1: a lot more than I did in this little experiment,
Speaker 1: and they would have a lot more difficult time. You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right, the withdrawal would have been a lot worse.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't trying to have the worst withdrawal I
Speaker 1: could have. All I wanted to do was experience it,
Speaker 1: and so I could see what it was like for myself.
Speaker 1: That's experience. The worst of that experience was the adapt
Speaker 1: abdominal pain. It felt like it was stabbing that radiated
Speaker 1: throughout my body, and I have no interest in going
Speaker 1: through opioid withdrawal again. Do you enjoy drugs, doctor Carhart?
Speaker 1: Do you enjoy drugs? Some drugs? I do? You know?
Speaker 1: That's otherwise, why would I engage in an activity that
Speaker 1: I don't enjoy. Well, let's bring this home. I agree
Speaker 1: on the fact that drugs should be legal. I don't
Speaker 1: think people should be going to jail when they have
Speaker 1: an actual problem, you know, I agree with that. But
Speaker 1: as far as like just encouraging people to do it
Speaker 1: recreationally just because they're gonna do it anyway, I'd rather
Speaker 1: personally get them some treatment. Personally, I rather think he
Speaker 1: was saying that if people who are using it to
Speaker 1: be responsible not but he does. I would rather get
Speaker 1: those people from treatment as opposed to encouraging them to just,
Speaker 1: you know, creating space. Man, you ain't gonna get an
Speaker 1: argument for me when you're talking about treatment. Man, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm with you, but that ain't what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying, yo, you should go out and do this.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I'm I'm I'm saying that there
Speaker 1: are people doing this and how can I, as a
Speaker 1: responsible professional, help enhance the safe Absolutely, and I would,
Speaker 1: I would, And I'm saying I would rather get those
Speaker 1: same people some help. I'd rather get them clean well,
Speaker 1: provide them opportunity as opposed to providing a safe space
Speaker 1: for them to continue to do drink well. You know,
Speaker 1: I have tried that too, and I mean with relatives
Speaker 1: and friends, and they basically said, like it's out to
Speaker 1: hear you, pedantic ass, you know, and so uh now
Speaker 1: I can't. They don't even talk to me. So there's
Speaker 1: no way I can even help because you know, they're
Speaker 1: as adults, people will do what they're going to do.
Speaker 1: And so I've learned as a parent, you know, my
Speaker 1: number one goal is to get my kids home right,
Speaker 1: and so they will do their thing, and I have
Speaker 1: to figure out how to help them do their thing
Speaker 1: as safely as possible and how to make sure they
Speaker 1: are good people or Doctor car Hart, we appreciate you
Speaker 1: for joining us this morning, telling the title of your
Speaker 1: book on More Time Please Drug Used for grown Ups,
Speaker 1: Chasing Liberty and the Land of Fear. It was a
Speaker 1: great conversation. Thank you for having me I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I have no problem exchanging I did. Even if we
Speaker 1: don't agree on everything, I really appreciate it. How you
Speaker 1: don't know how much it mean. But don't you overdose
Speaker 1: because I switch to God. If you overdose, I don't
Speaker 1: gonna give you the greatest donkey the day I have
Speaker 1: ever written in my life. Okay, yo, that's a bat.
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you doctor Carhart for joining us.
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the roumas. Let's talk Bobby's murder
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Listen.
Speaker 1: Oh goshorts, it's reports club. Oh my god, what nothing?
Speaker 1: No next, next hour, we're taking calls about doctor Carhart's interview.
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, so you can get on the
Speaker 1: phone lines right now eight hundred five, eight five, one
Speaker 1: oh five on just your thoughts to the doctor. All
Speaker 1: right now, Bobby Schmurder did his first interview since getting
Speaker 1: out of prison, and he talked to GQ about what
Speaker 1: he learned while he was in jail and what he's
Speaker 1: going to be doing next. And he does, by the way,
Speaker 1: him and Rowdy Rebels still maintain their innocence on the
Speaker 1: conspiracy charge. In particular, saying that they were trying to
Speaker 1: link them to crimes they would otherwise have no connection with.
Speaker 1: They argue that if they were granted bail and allowed
Speaker 1: to fight the case from the outside, they would have
Speaker 1: won a trial. Now, Bobby Shmurder said his spirit is
Speaker 1: always going to be up. He said, I used to
Speaker 1: sleep next to people who had forty to life, people
Speaker 1: who have been in there for thirty years and haven't laughed.
Speaker 1: I'd have them crying all day. When you got good energy,
Speaker 1: no matter where you at, you can bring a smile
Speaker 1: to someone's face. And he also said, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: jail is not going to break anybody, but usually jail
Speaker 1: I don't really care about. Even though I'm locked up
Speaker 1: all the time, I still lived good in jail since
Speaker 1: I was twelve. He said he knows how to survive.
Speaker 1: You get the best treatment in jail when you get
Speaker 1: a job. When a shower five times a week, and
Speaker 1: said at three, get a job, eat better, get a job,
Speaker 1: more phone time, get a job. But he said they
Speaker 1: kept firing him when they realized he was just doing
Speaker 1: it to stay on the phone. He also talks about
Speaker 1: his lowest time and the moment that broke him. He said,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a fight, or it wasn't solitary. It was
Speaker 1: a fan letter. He said. It was twenty sixteen. I
Speaker 1: was in the box. A six year old girl wrote
Speaker 1: to me. She said I was her favorite rapper. That
Speaker 1: just let me know the kids are watching me and
Speaker 1: I have to be a role model. Suddenly being familiar
Speaker 1: enough with jail to rise above it didn't mean so much.
Speaker 1: So he does take his career seriously, he said, he
Speaker 1: didn't take it that seriously before until he went to jail,
Speaker 1: he said, and saw how the fans were loyal. He said,
Speaker 1: I can't name a week that I didn't see at
Speaker 1: least ten pieces of fan mail throughout the whole bid.
Speaker 1: So before he went to jail, he said, he just
Speaker 1: was doing this money and bitches. He said, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I was nineteen turning twenty, coming
Speaker 1: out of East Flappish the nineties, one of the worst
Speaker 1: neighborhoods in Brooklyn. You got a moment to sit down
Speaker 1: and be still, and I think Ji about to save
Speaker 1: this life exactly. Jail time saved his life, and I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be come out a better human because
Speaker 1: of it. I think so too. And as you know,
Speaker 1: Quavo was there when he got out to pick him up,
Speaker 1: and you know, they talked about how they had instant
Speaker 1: magic when they all first met. He said, whenever the
Speaker 1: Megos came to New York City in twenty fourteen, they
Speaker 1: made sure to link up a Bobby, like the night
Speaker 1: at Powerhouse when Quavo said he met jay Z for
Speaker 1: the first time backstage with Rowdy, so they all linked up.
Speaker 1: And I actually remember that. I remember that because I
Speaker 1: had to go into Megos dressing room to interview them
Speaker 1: for something for MTV and MTV two, and then Bobby
Speaker 1: Him came in there. All right, now, let's talk about
Speaker 1: the Coming to Americas sequel. Are y'all ready for this?
Speaker 1: You guys saw it already, right, yeah, March fifth on
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. It's coming out. So they've been doing their
Speaker 1: interviews now. Our sin of Yohall and Eddie Murphy said
Speaker 1: they had a pack to never making Coming to America's sequel,
Speaker 1: but they did end up doing it. Here's what they
Speaker 1: had to say. It took thirty years because we never
Speaker 1: planned on doing it. We shook and said, let's never
Speaker 1: do a sequel. But the movie kept following us, so
Speaker 1: every time I would show him something, and then one
Speaker 1: time when he finally decided we should do it, he
Speaker 1: came up with the idea and I loved the idea,
Speaker 1: but the only thing I hated was he wanted Tracy
Speaker 1: Morgan to play his son. And I think Eddie and
Speaker 1: Tracy look about the same age. But he Murphy. He's
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy. So you have to you have to say
Speaker 1: it easy, because I did it in joke for him.
Speaker 1: I said, hey, maybe the third one, Morgan Freeman can
Speaker 1: be your son. That didn't sound right. That wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been it all right now. Ryan Kogler also had pitched
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy Coming to America's sequel with Michael B. Jordan
Speaker 1: and it and they talked about this with The New
Speaker 1: York Times and he said before he directed Black Panther,
Speaker 1: I met with him and he says, I want to
Speaker 1: do a Coming to America's sequel. That's what Eddie Murphy said.
Speaker 1: He said he had an idea from Michael B. Jordan
Speaker 1: to play my son and he would be looking for
Speaker 1: a wife. I was like, then the movie would be
Speaker 1: about the son. It's not our characters. We already did that.
Speaker 1: It didn't come together. Yeah, I don't understand Eddie's reasoning
Speaker 1: for telling people that he didn't like Ryan Coogler's idea.
Speaker 1: I mean, Ryan Coogler is one of the most brilliant
Speaker 1: producers out here. And it actually wasn't just Ryan Coogler.
Speaker 1: It was Ryan Coogler and Aaron McGruder. You know Aaron McGruder,
Speaker 1: that that that wrote The Boondogs Black Jesus. So I
Speaker 1: don't understand what was his reasoning. What you think about
Speaker 1: the movie? What you mean, Well, I listen, we got
Speaker 1: all send you on the show next week and I'll
Speaker 1: talk about the movie after the movie come back, all right,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Everybody to make that one decision.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of surprises, but I am gonna wat
Speaker 1: And that is your Room of Reporter made me feel good.
Speaker 1: I thought ill coming to America made me feel good.
Speaker 1: Cash your rumor report all right now, Shore giving that
Speaker 1: donk donkey of the day, it's going to Representative Marcus
Speaker 1: Evans Junior. We need him to come to the front
Speaker 1: of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him.
Speaker 1: He wants to help carjackings in Chicago go down. Okay.
Speaker 1: I just don't like the way he's he's going about
Speaker 1: trying to do it. But we'll talk about it all right.
Speaker 1: And after the Donkey, of course, we'll take your calls.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about doctor Carhart, who just tuned int, who
Speaker 1: just joined us, and we're talking about drug use. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him next night. It's the breakfast local
Speaker 1: Botter's time for Donkey other Day. I'm a Democrat, so
Speaker 1: being Dunkey of the day is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a mixed up. So like a dog the other day. Now,
Speaker 1: I've been called a lot in my twenty three years,
Speaker 1: like Donkey other day is a new wife. Yesh Donkey
Speaker 1: today for Friday, February twenty six. Goals of the Representative
Speaker 1: Marcus Evans Junior, a Democrat, who was introduced to bill
Speaker 1: that would amend the pre existing law banning certain video
Speaker 1: games from being sold to minors. Now, I'm not a
Speaker 1: video game fanatic at all, so I couldn't tell you
Speaker 1: why certain video games shouldn't be sold to minors. I
Speaker 1: do remember about a decade ago when the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: was debating if violent video games should be sold to
Speaker 1: minors or not. And Representative Marcus Evans junior amendment is
Speaker 1: in that lane because he would ban the sale of
Speaker 1: games with subject matter including motor vehicle theft with a
Speaker 1: driver or passenger. President. Basically, he wants to get Grand
Speaker 1: Theft Auto to f out of here. Why because carjackings
Speaker 1: among young people have gone up in Chicago recently. Let's
Speaker 1: go to KTLAC W five for the report. Please Illinois
Speaker 1: State Representative Marcus Evans Junior, who introduced a bill which
Speaker 1: would ban the sale of popular video game Grand Theft Auto,
Speaker 1: amongst others, in response to a rise in carjackings in Chicago.
Speaker 1: People in government or parent groups are kind of looking
Speaker 1: for what I would say is a scapegoat to not
Speaker 1: deal with the real underlying issues of socio economic inequalities
Speaker 1: or mental health issues. I agree, I agree with whoever
Speaker 1: that woman was talking. Just now, let me tell lawmakers
Speaker 1: in Cargo something. Can kids be influenced by things? Absolutely? Music,
Speaker 1: video games, movies, other people? Of course, Do I think
Speaker 1: Grand Theft Auto is the reason carjackings of going up
Speaker 1: in Chicago? Hell No, I don't. Okay, It's like damn
Speaker 1: lawmakers read the room. The reason crime is going up
Speaker 1: across the country, not just in Chicago. It is because
Speaker 1: the poor and disenfranchise communities which were already hurting, which
Speaker 1: already lacked resources, which alread lacked opportunities. Those communities or
Speaker 1: even in worse shape now. So I'm looking at all
Speaker 1: these news stories about the Illinois lawmakers seeking the banned
Speaker 1: Grand Theft Auto due to a rising carjacking carjackings, and
Speaker 1: it makes me shake my head and realize just how
Speaker 1: much folks don't get it. See, we really live in
Speaker 1: an era where people want symbolic change instead of real
Speaker 1: systemic change. Okay, Grand Theft Auto gets banned, then what
Speaker 1: tell me how is that going to empower and heal people?
Speaker 1: How is that going to provide opportunities to thrive? The
Speaker 1: violence anywhere it is not going down if you don't
Speaker 1: provide access to jobs in housing, that's what people need,
Speaker 1: stable housing and amenities and commerce opportunities. Those are the
Speaker 1: investments that need to be made. You have to revitalize
Speaker 1: neighborhood economies. Okay, markets, I'm not telling you anything. You
Speaker 1: don't know. You know that, Okay, you should be advocating
Speaker 1: for equity focused legislation and policy. That's what people need,
Speaker 1: not bands of grand theft auto. Come on, Marcus, the
Speaker 1: wages are too low, right, There's a lack of quality healthcare,
Speaker 1: some standard housing, all right for kids who want to
Speaker 1: pursue higher education, they aren't able to because college tuition
Speaker 1: too damn high and rising. Those are the problems that
Speaker 1: most Americans facing. You know, black communities face them even more. Okay,
Speaker 1: f banning grand theft auto, raising minimum which the fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand an hour, all right, make college affordable for anyone
Speaker 1: who wants to attend. I require local government to provide
Speaker 1: healthcare and adequate housing for everybody, okay. Instead of banning
Speaker 1: grand theft auto, as the great Alicia Guards of Black
Speaker 1: Futures Lab says, if candidates lawmakers address the needs and
Speaker 1: concerns of black communities that were resulting dividends for all Americans.
Speaker 1: Markets if you address the real needs and concerns of
Speaker 1: the black communities in Chicago and the communities in Chicago
Speaker 1: that you need it, it will result in dividends for
Speaker 1: all of Illinois. Okay. I want this idea of banning
Speaker 1: grand theft auto to die. And instead of a cheat
Speaker 1: code for unlimited guns lawm because in Chicago, she create
Speaker 1: a cheat code for unlimited funds to be invested in
Speaker 1: the communities that need them. That's how you slow down
Speaker 1: Carl Jackings and every other violent crime, not only in
Speaker 1: Chicago but across the country. Please uh, let Representative Marcus
Speaker 1: Evans Junior get the sweet times in the hammertones. Oh
Speaker 1: now you are the doge the day, the dogee, oh
Speaker 1: the day. Ye all right, thank you for that today?
Speaker 1: Can some I want one of y'all to do your
Speaker 1: uncle Shaulttle favor. Can you send me up from church fans.
Speaker 1: I want the old school church fans that I might
Speaker 1: used to use when she used to be in the
Speaker 1: pew fan in herself, because around ate something every morning
Speaker 1: in this room for the past couple of months. That hot.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, well, thank you for that donky. Today,
Speaker 1: when we come back, let's open up the phone lines
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We're
Speaker 1: talking doctor Karl Hart. Now he was on earlier. A
Speaker 1: lot of people have different things to say about his
Speaker 1: opinion on drug use and what he had to say
Speaker 1: about drug use. People they have this idea of someone
Speaker 1: who uses heroin and some poor soul who is injecting
Speaker 1: the drug and it's a slave to the drug, and
Speaker 1: they think that heroin is the reason for that person's problem.
Speaker 1: The person's problem is not so much heroin as everything else,
Speaker 1: like the person might have co occurring psychiatric illnesses. I
Speaker 1: always say, people say, well, I'm chasing that high I
Speaker 1: got the first time that I use it is real,
Speaker 1: It's certainly true. Like just think of the first time
Speaker 1: you enjoyed and the orgasm. It's like it was amazing
Speaker 1: for me the first time. It's like, am I chasing
Speaker 1: the first time I had an orgasm? No, of course not,
Speaker 1: but old door, I don't that feeling. I like that
Speaker 1: orgasm can't kill me. The orgasm can't kill me. You
Speaker 1: certainly can't get kill all right, Well, let's open up
Speaker 1: the phone lines and eight hundred five A five one
Speaker 1: oh five one day, we're opening up the phone lines.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. We'll take your calls when we
Speaker 1: come back. It's the breakfast Club. Go morning, the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: It's topic time. Thus the phone called eight hundred five
Speaker 1: A five one oh five one to join it to
Speaker 1: the discussion with the breakfast club. Talk about it morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the breakfast clubs, So we're just opening up the
Speaker 1: phone lines talking about the doctor that called earlier talking
Speaker 1: about drug use. What do you guys think? Star? What
Speaker 1: you ye? I mean? I understand, And he was stressing
Speaker 1: that he was not telling people to use drugs. He
Speaker 1: was saying, for people that do use drugs, they're gonna
Speaker 1: do it anyway, just like a lot of people do
Speaker 1: things you know you shouldn't do, but it does still
Speaker 1: have appens. So how do you make it safer for
Speaker 1: people to do it? They didn't make me want to
Speaker 1: try drugs or want to use heroin or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but I understand that a lot of times people are
Speaker 1: mixing different cocktails together of different drugs, and people are
Speaker 1: also not knowing what they're taking because they're buying it
Speaker 1: off the street, so it just makes it more dangerous.
Speaker 1: It didn't sound like it to me. I mean, him
Speaker 1: saying that he used drugs and he wasn't addicted makes
Speaker 1: it kind of seem like it's okay in what he said.
Speaker 1: I'm from a different school. I know there's some parents
Speaker 1: out there that be like, hey, my kids are gonna
Speaker 1: drink anywhere I rather than drinking the house. I'm not
Speaker 1: that parent. My parents weren't that parents. My parents were. No,
Speaker 1: you're not drinking, and you're not drinking in my house.
Speaker 1: And if I catch you drinking, I'm gonna bust your ass.
Speaker 1: That's the way I am. You're not drinking in my house.
Speaker 1: Some parents allowed at Hey, if you're gonna drink your muthers,
Speaker 1: drink anywhere, my parents will let me drink with them.
Speaker 1: See that's your parents, not mine. Now that's how I feel.
Speaker 1: My thing is no, drug use is not good at all.
Speaker 1: I don't want to promote it. I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about it. I tried it, or use it. Or
Speaker 1: you can be in a walking heroin fiend. No, that
Speaker 1: doesn't work, that doesn't that doesn't sound good to me.
Speaker 1: Don't use drugs. I don't want my kids they're drugs.
Speaker 1: It's bad. I don't want you to try it, even weed. Kids.
Speaker 1: Don't want them using any drugs. We're talking about heroin, man,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And here's the thing with
Speaker 1: doctor Carhart. I feel that all drugs should be decriminalized.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see people going to jail for addiction.
Speaker 1: If you have a problem with heroin, if you have
Speaker 1: an addiction problem with crack, addiction problem with meth. I
Speaker 1: don't think you should go to jail for that. You should,
Speaker 1: you know, get help. And I don't think we should
Speaker 1: create safe spaces to do drugs. I think we should
Speaker 1: invest resources and the people going to rehab, people seeking treatment,
Speaker 1: and provide opportunities for them. You know, I'm a big
Speaker 1: advocate for mental health and mindfulness, and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of other ways to deal with your trauma other than
Speaker 1: telling people to turn the drugs. But let's go to
Speaker 1: the phone lines. Hello, who's this Hi? This is Dana
Speaker 1: from for News Heza from the seven five seven? What
Speaker 1: were your thoughts? Um? I think that what he's saying
Speaker 1: is very irresponsible, um, because everybody doesn't have the luxury
Speaker 1: of getting their drugs from eating. What is he expecting
Speaker 1: people to go out here and buy heroin and take
Speaker 1: it to the police station and be like, hey, can
Speaker 1: you touch my trugs? It's illegal? You know, So there
Speaker 1: is no safe way to do heroin here in America.
Speaker 1: And if that's the message that he's trying to put out,
Speaker 1: is that there is a safe way if the government
Speaker 1: puts certain things in place, and let that be the message.
Speaker 1: But don't go out here promoting that there's a safe
Speaker 1: way to do this in America, because not everybody who
Speaker 1: does drugs are doing them because their life is the
Speaker 1: goal and they're trying to escape their problems. A lot
Speaker 1: of this starts out as just fun, you know, but
Speaker 1: at parties and doing things, and so somebody may be
Speaker 1: listening to this guy right now thinking their life is fine,
Speaker 1: but they're curious about what he's saying, and they try
Speaker 1: it and die that bad because the way he talks
Speaker 1: and makes it seem like it's not that bad. But
Speaker 1: that's not the heroin out scene when I'll be when
Speaker 1: I'll be buying these cribs. And that's not how my
Speaker 1: uncle od it was back But I told him that.
Speaker 1: I told him that, you know, his his perspective was
Speaker 1: coming from a real place of provoge. Hello, who's this
Speaker 1: ain't Travis, what's going on? What do you think of
Speaker 1: the doctor? Man? I just want to say, I've had
Speaker 1: fool when the first friends died from overdose in the
Speaker 1: past year a year and a half, and I'm talking
Speaker 1: about people that were very respectable people until they decided
Speaker 1: to start using paying pills and here I went, and
Speaker 1: then they completely changed these people. What's the drug you started?
Speaker 1: They were no longer to save people that I knew
Speaker 1: in love and respected. They lied, they cheated, they did
Speaker 1: anything to get this wrong and and I just watched it.
Speaker 1: You know, over two years, they completely became somebody else.
Speaker 1: For him to say that it's not the drugs, that
Speaker 1: it's their personality had the vibe. Man, these drugs is
Speaker 1: killing people. Thank you, bro Grey. Hello, who's this? I
Speaker 1: think it's Ashley from Jack and Little Florida nine four
Speaker 1: nine o four was happening and as I love you
Speaker 1: guys back. So what's your thoughts on the doctor that
Speaker 1: called in from Florida? My thought is, guys, yo, are
Speaker 1: so well dj n V. I know you have your
Speaker 1: stands on the drug you can, Chalomagne, I know you're
Speaker 1: with therapy. But he was trying to get out that
Speaker 1: he's not promoting drugs. He's just saying for those who
Speaker 1: are gonna quit against therapy altogether, especially our black community
Speaker 1: who was against therapy, you just have to safely music.
Speaker 1: Y'all didn't really let them talk until the end. Well,
Speaker 1: can I ask you a question, where's the safe space
Speaker 1: with people to do that? In Americaould you take your
Speaker 1: drugs to the police station to have them tested? You know,
Speaker 1: that's why he said we should build some other countries
Speaker 1: that different thoughts. You know, our country is our country.
Speaker 1: You're saying, you're seeing it work in other places, and
Speaker 1: so something like that could be implemented here. Instead of
Speaker 1: always trying to demonize these people who are addict and
Speaker 1: calling them fiends and crackheads, I think we should I
Speaker 1: think instead of creating the safe spaces, we shouldn't invest
Speaker 1: resources and the people going to rehab. We should invest
Speaker 1: resources in the people seeking treatment and provide opportunities for them.
Speaker 1: But what do we do with the people who say no,
Speaker 1: our older generation is against all of that. Man, you
Speaker 1: could do both. You could invest more money into that
Speaker 1: and also have resources where if they are going to
Speaker 1: continue to do it, at least don't die from something
Speaker 1: that's not what you think it is. Exact Man, I'm
Speaker 1: not incurring nobody to do heroin. I'm not occouraging doesn't exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm so what about the people that are using it? Just?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all you can do if they don't
Speaker 1: want to get out, if they don't want to get help,
Speaker 1: prey for them. Yeah, I mean I want any leave them,
Speaker 1: but it's not going any well. You said just help them,
Speaker 1: they need help, But I don't want to encourage anybody
Speaker 1: else to get on her at all. All right, eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one oh five one, let's talk
Speaker 1: about it. It's a breakfast club. Good morning, call me
Speaker 1: and your opinions to the breakfast club to come on
Speaker 1: five one morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the breakfast club with taking your
Speaker 1: calls on the doctor that just called about drug use,
Speaker 1: doctor Carl hard he was up here, Yeah he's here.
Speaker 1: But like my opinion, I think that nobody should be
Speaker 1: used in heroin, Like I understand that scenes. I think
Speaker 1: they should be in cigarettes. If they're telling you cigarettes
Speaker 1: causes cancer and cancer kills you, why are we allowing
Speaker 1: people are smoking. I don't think people should eat only
Speaker 1: I don't think people should eat red meat. The only
Speaker 1: thing I agree with doctor Carl Hard on is that
Speaker 1: drugs should be decriminalized. That should be the message, because
Speaker 1: I don't want to see people going to jail because
Speaker 1: they have addiction problems. Correct, is a level one carcinogen
Speaker 1: and we sell that and eat it. I mean, if
Speaker 1: something I think we can, if it's guaranteed that something
Speaker 1: can kill you, like cigarettes, like heroin ken and it's
Speaker 1: so addictive. No, I'm not going to encourage nobody to
Speaker 1: ever use it and say it's okay or it's fine.
Speaker 1: That's just my opinion. But let's go to the phone lines. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this Hey, good morning? What were your thoughts on
Speaker 1: the doctor the car? I get I get it that
Speaker 1: he said he wants the kids to come home. I
Speaker 1: get that part. Everybody's gonna try it, But I don't
Speaker 1: agree with him when he said, oh go get it tested.
Speaker 1: How many attics you know we're going to be able
Speaker 1: to go out there, boy, purchase your drugs and then
Speaker 1: go get it tested. No, they want they fix. Then
Speaker 1: they don't want to wait and try to get it
Speaker 1: pursas they want it. Then I guess work in other countries.
Speaker 1: But Haroin is too much of a monster drug, y'all.
Speaker 1: This is Harold. That's something that helped me. Laughing, he said,
Speaker 1: how he quit opious just like that. That wasn't his drug.
Speaker 1: But I bet you he can't quit it, have one
Speaker 1: just like that exactly said he hasn't taken it in
Speaker 1: a year and a half. I don't believe him. No,
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. Well, thank you mama. Hello, who's
Speaker 1: this us? Hey Russell? What's what's your opinion on the doctor?
Speaker 1: Doctor car Hard? That just checked him? Um? I think
Speaker 1: the quest man, I think he just like old old
Speaker 1: old juses, just trying to justify his ju because for
Speaker 1: him to see to destroy our communities, and it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I've been around. I'm sixty one, I've been around. I've
Speaker 1: seen him just uh the boys coming home from Vietnam
Speaker 1: all messed uff and and uh the hall in the
Speaker 1: eighties besides Southside Jamaica. It's tore us apart. Man. But
Speaker 1: for him to say that, Hello, who's this anonymous? Hey anonymous,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the doctor? Um? I felt
Speaker 1: that I understood what he was saying. I showed that
Speaker 1: there are functional drug users out here. And like I
Speaker 1: told other guy at the port, I told him I'm
Speaker 1: not a drug user, but I year around who who's
Speaker 1: you know? And I've been around people who you I
Speaker 1: hear that in your voice. Now I hear that eight
Speaker 1: four three, so I know you ain't lying, and yes
Speaker 1: he's for three, but anyway, it's so. But what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is, you know what I mean. I see people
Speaker 1: who are judges, politicians, lawyers, doctors who fullhard Friday when
Speaker 1: they get off work bullheard Saturday, and then my days
Speaker 1: right back at work and doing their dream. So I've
Speaker 1: seen something drug users. But then i'd also been decided
Speaker 1: that y'all work for treeing, like the people who's coming
Speaker 1: to their MoMA house seeing in the TV went all
Speaker 1: of that TWA gets there high. So I see both sides.
Speaker 1: But it seemed like initially in his interview and seemed
Speaker 1: like y'all were kind of going hard attacking him. But
Speaker 1: I felt what he was saying in with yawin things
Speaker 1: also too. It's not just drugs, it's Harold Wing right,
Speaker 1: And I get that and see the thing. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know me and I'm being a drug user. It's
Speaker 1: like I think the heroine. I think you're putting on
Speaker 1: your arms, but like I have family members who fail
Speaker 1: and they're like no, it's in like a bull form,
Speaker 1: now you know what I mean? Like where as these
Speaker 1: kids out here pumping and posing stuff there, I'm pumping
Speaker 1: heroin as still, So it's not even in a neuti
Speaker 1: formal one told I've seen young people twenty year old
Speaker 1: and they're saying like, oh, yeah, he's on heroin, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, in a way, like you look at them
Speaker 1: and you can't even tell they're on herowin. But it's
Speaker 1: like heroin has seen the form now, so when we
Speaker 1: think of it, we're thinking of the form of you
Speaker 1: putting you on your arm of girls. But eventually it
Speaker 1: catches up. And last year actually was the highest opioid
Speaker 1: overdose rate ever. But eventually that lifestyle catches up. And
Speaker 1: I just don't understand anyone who's actually seen dopage, who's
Speaker 1: actually seen heroin uses, what it does to a person,
Speaker 1: what it does to a community. I don't understand how
Speaker 1: you can encourage anyone to do heroin. Yeah, Mine comes
Speaker 1: from a different place. Mine comes from a close family
Speaker 1: member that odd and died and I'll never get back
Speaker 1: from drugs. Mine comes from a place of me investing
Speaker 1: in real estate in Patterson in Atlantic City and walking
Speaker 1: into these houses and seeing heroin addicts and fiends and
Speaker 1: stuck and know that and having conversations with them and
Speaker 1: telling me that they can't get help, that they've tried,
Speaker 1: They've been to rehab so many different times, but they
Speaker 1: just can't kick it. And they came from good families
Speaker 1: and their families to try to save them all, you know,
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. But they got to
Speaker 1: stay in these areas because they got to buy their drugs.
Speaker 1: They got to be able to use their drugs. And
Speaker 1: how sad that is. And I never would want my
Speaker 1: family member, my child, never a friend or anybody on
Speaker 1: something that's dependent where they're living in the slums, no heat,
Speaker 1: no air conditioner, you know, no water, no nothing, just
Speaker 1: to get these drugs. Now I was paying my mother
Speaker 1: had to deal with because her brother passed away from
Speaker 1: the old d And I would never tell anybody, Oh,
Speaker 1: being a functional a drug user, it's okay, No, that's
Speaker 1: my opinion. If y'all don't like it, that's me. I
Speaker 1: don't want my kids, I don't want my family members.
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody using those hardens. I know in
Speaker 1: the future I'm gonna have a drink with my children.
Speaker 1: I know in the future I might even do. I'm
Speaker 1: not smoking weak with my children. I ain't doing no heroin.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'm smoking no crack, that's me.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing no coke. I'm not doing no hero
Speaker 1: no crack. I'm not doing opioids. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: doing none of that. That's for me. I'm not doing ecstasy.
Speaker 1: That's just me. I don't want to. That's me personally.
Speaker 1: I see the effects of it on family and friends,
Speaker 1: and I just don't want to be The more of
Speaker 1: the story is, I do feel that all those drugs
Speaker 1: should be decriminalized. I don't want to see people going
Speaker 1: to jail for addiction, but I want to see people
Speaker 1: get help. I don't want to create safe spaces so
Speaker 1: they can do their drugs. We should invest resources in
Speaker 1: the people going to rehab, seking treatment, and providing better
Speaker 1: opportunities for them. I agree with that as well. I
Speaker 1: don't understand how somebody that's addicted to heroin could get
Speaker 1: locked up. If they're addicted to it, they get help.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we got rumors all the way. Yes,
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about a new group that

Speaker 1: just going to be a gender neutral potato Head, but

Speaker 1: be whatever. It could be whatever they want everybody to

Speaker 1: that we possess. Let's listen. The Breakfast Club presents a
