Speaker 1: you would get that. I'm a number. And how would
Speaker 1: you pump that gas? Which way? Would you pump it?
Speaker 1: From the front? Slow? Slow? From the back slow? I
Speaker 1: would enjoy every single moment. Can you imagine paying sixty
Speaker 1: nine cents a gallon? How how joyous you would feel?
Speaker 1: You would relish that? Okay, we don't even pump on
Speaker 1: gas in Jersey. You get out and pump it yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to another room. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We are to Breakfast Clubles's getting some front
Speaker 1: page news now tonight. The Warriors close out this NBA
Speaker 1: Finals Warriors six Boston Celtics in Boston tonight, so we'll
Speaker 1: see what happened. I expect Steph Curry and Clay Thompson
Speaker 1: to go off. I expect to see Game six, Game six,
Speaker 1: Clay show up tonight. I think they're gonna go to
Speaker 1: Game seven. I mean, I haven't really seen Tatum. I
Speaker 1: think Tatum's what do you mean, Tatum in balling all series? Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know why y'all keep I don't know why
Speaker 1: y'all get back in Like Tatum hasn't showed up. Tatum
Speaker 1: had been balling all series. Have you been watching the game?
Speaker 1: Datum literally had had his highest shooting percentage last game.
Speaker 1: I'm serious. Okay, let's get some front page Satum daveraging
Speaker 1: at least twenty four this series? All right? At California
Speaker 1: gas station managers out of a job. He accidentally was
Speaker 1: charging customer sixty nine cents a gallon from the premium
Speaker 1: gasoline instead of the six ninety nine that it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Put the decimal point in the wrong placed.
Speaker 1: So the ex manager is John Czech Hassina, and it's
Speaker 1: an independently owned shell station. So people were going crazy.
Speaker 1: They said they stormed that Shell gas station in Rancho Cordova, California.
Speaker 1: Afterwards spread on social media and it ended up custing
Speaker 1: the gas station. About twenty thousand dollars by the way,
Speaker 1: so they'll get into heaven. They're doing a they do
Speaker 1: you have a go for me, And so they're trying
Speaker 1: to raise twenty thousand dollars, and because they want to
Speaker 1: repay his old employer, so they want to raise the
Speaker 1: money that was lost. So far, it's not And you
Speaker 1: were right with Tatum. He had twenty seven, twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty and twelve. You were correct. Warriors in six,
Speaker 1: I say, step the Splash Brothers are gonna show a
Speaker 1: big to night. Step kerg gonna score fifty, gonna score
Speaker 1: thirty plus, right, right, And I know that you could
Speaker 1: just do that. You could just set the gas prices yourself. Well,
Speaker 1: he's the manager, so he has to. You know, when
Speaker 1: the gas prices changed, somebody has to change them. And
Speaker 1: it's an independently owned station. Damn it. He made a mistake, right,
Speaker 1: but he did help a lot of people twenty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars mistakes, I'm sure a lot of people felt like
Speaker 1: that was a blessing, you know, step the people that
Speaker 1: independently on that pass. I agree, but you know, you
Speaker 1: got to look at this. There's two sides everything. Yes,
Speaker 1: they lost twenty thousand dollars, but then a lot of
Speaker 1: people got to fill up their gas thing today or
Speaker 1: that day. All right. Now, monthly car payments have hit
Speaker 1: a record high of seven hundred and twelve dollars last month.
Speaker 1: So that is the average monthly car payment. They said
Speaker 1: that new vehicle prices averaged about forty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: That's the second highest on record. Ever. Let me tell you, guys,
Speaker 1: I got a Ford Explorer right fully loaded. It was
Speaker 1: one seventy eight, three years ago. That was the lease
Speaker 1: on the car. I had to turn that car in,
Speaker 1: and I wanted the same car again, and for the
Speaker 1: same car again. That car is five ninety eight. From
Speaker 1: one seventy to five ninety That is ridiculous for the
Speaker 1: same car, nothing different. That's ridiculous, Pam, I ended up
Speaker 1: getting a new car, and it's ridiculous, all right, y'all
Speaker 1: wished the car dealer had made a mistake and sold
Speaker 1: it to y'all lower price. And I can guarantee you
Speaker 1: then be like, actually, this is what you Yeah, all right, Now,
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve has typed interest rates by point seventy
Speaker 1: five percent, and that's significant. They raised those rates yesterday,
Speaker 1: escalating a strategy. They're trying to increase borrowing costs to
Speaker 1: dial back inflation. How does that help. We're just talking
Speaker 1: about payments are high and they're gonna raise interest rate
Speaker 1: some more. Well, they want to. So what that does is,
Speaker 1: in theory, it should slash inflation by slowing the economy
Speaker 1: and eating away at demand. So that's the strategy. So
Speaker 1: if you remember during the pandemic, when people weren't spending
Speaker 1: money like that, that's why they lowered it so much
Speaker 1: in order to increase people's purchasing. But now they want
Speaker 1: to slow it down, and so that's gonna increase everything
Speaker 1: from credit card fees to mortgage rates. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: it's up baby. Yeah. They're saying that this does show
Speaker 1: confidence in the health of the job market, because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of jobs available now, But the speed with
Speaker 1: which interest rates are expected to go up underscores the
Speaker 1: concern about the cost of the storing cost of living. Also,
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. Yesterday I was
Speaker 1: driving by in a past Burger King Burg King said,
Speaker 1: we're hiring. We're paying fifteen dollars an hour. Right, you're
Speaker 1: gonna pick up a job, yes, fifteen dollars an now, right?
Speaker 1: But if interest rates go over six percent to purchase
Speaker 1: a home, even a small home or whatever it may be,
Speaker 1: how could you possibly afford it? Would interest rates at
Speaker 1: six seven percent and you're making fifteen dollars now, how
Speaker 1: does that work? That's exactly why inflation is a problem, sir,
Speaker 1: because it's like, even if you do have that job
Speaker 1: and you're bringing home money, everything's going up. So you
Speaker 1: kind of in the same position. Credit card rates going up,
Speaker 1: interest rates going up. You told me a call going up.
Speaker 1: So if I end up going back down, you know,
Speaker 1: just right now they're trying to slow down the economy.
Speaker 1: It's not going to stay there. So, I mean, the
Speaker 1: only thing we could do at this point and stuck
Speaker 1: it out like that's just the truth, didn't matter. There's
Speaker 1: really nothing you can do. Like you know, you have
Speaker 1: to buy a gas, you have to pay your car payments,
Speaker 1: you have to pay your rent, like you have no choice.
Speaker 1: So you know, if you can pick up another job
Speaker 1: or do some extra things to make some money. You
Speaker 1: just you got to what happen to those crypto people?
Speaker 1: Remember the crypto people. I was like, I mean the
Speaker 1: same thing that happened to the stock market people. Nine.
Speaker 1: Everything's down, but some people look at it like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's on sale right now if you have the money
Speaker 1: to Yeah, if you have the money, which a lot
Speaker 1: people Don't's be clear, as stock marketing and crypto and
Speaker 1: all that is for extra money. It's not like you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing that with money that you can't spare.
Speaker 1: If you can't spare it, don't do. In a capitalist society,
Speaker 1: the rich keep getting richer, That's all it is. And
Speaker 1: when situation when situations like this happened and people are down,
Speaker 1: people that actually have money they take advantage, so Athlete.
Speaker 1: That's just the way the system is designed. I'm going
Speaker 1: to bury King after the job, all right. I saw
Speaker 1: a commercial yesterday for a quarter part of it. That
Speaker 1: thing looks so good that what that quarter pint of
Speaker 1: commercial they made that quarter pint that looks so damn
Speaker 1: tasty on TV yesterday, Boy chicken fries over there. Now.
Speaker 1: I was like, I can tell I don't like. I
Speaker 1: don't like how them chicken fries look. I like, I
Speaker 1: don't like my chicken and fried for him. I saw,

Speaker 1: a story because you want to back out of something,
Speaker 1: out of going to work. Well, we'll tell you who
Speaker 1: lied and said that he actually had to back out
Speaker 1: of a tour because he was watching the solar eclipse
Speaker 1: without wearing eye protection. My goodness. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: It's about Angela needs Breakfast Club. All right, Well, Joey
Speaker 1: Badass does admit that the solar eclipse stunt that he did.
Speaker 1: He said those things because he was quitting the Logic Tour.
Speaker 1: If you guys recall this happened back in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: he said, am I crazy for watching the eclipse today
Speaker 1: with no glasses? I've sungazed before and afterwards saw colors
Speaker 1: for a whole day. I didn't die though. They ain't
Speaker 1: the first solar eclipse, and I'm pretty sure our ancestors
Speaker 1: didn't have no fancy eyewear. Also pretty sure they ate
Speaker 1: all ain't going blind. Then the next day, he tweeted out,
Speaker 1: due to unforeseen circumstances, my Cleveland, Chicago, and Toronto shows
Speaker 1: on the Everybody Tour are canceled. All right, So now
Speaker 1: he's on social media and he said, speaking of solar eclipses,
Speaker 1: you know, I never got any type of eye damage
Speaker 1: from that solar eclipse ish that happened. I just really
Speaker 1: wanted an excuse to be off the Logic Tour. Blogs
Speaker 1: literally created a story, and I went with it because
Speaker 1: it was convenient for me at the time. But it
Speaker 1: was also funny to see how gullible people are it
Speaker 1: taught me a valuable lesson. Whatever the media puts out
Speaker 1: in unison, people will simply believe even if the source
Speaker 1: is in validated. Scary world. Oh we know that that
Speaker 1: was five years ago. It's only gotten worse. I wonder
Speaker 1: if you could get a sued for that, though, And
Speaker 1: he said, and logic is my n word. By the way,
Speaker 1: I ain't with no logic slander. The tour just wasn't
Speaker 1: serving me well at the time, he's half your word.
Speaker 1: He's stupid. But I wonder if you could get sued that,
Speaker 1: because you know, you running a toy and you're saying
Speaker 1: I can't do the tour anymore because of well, he
Speaker 1: probably told logic the real reason, and then that was
Speaker 1: just something public, So I don't know that you could
Speaker 1: get sued for that. He never said that, right, they
Speaker 1: ran with it. Well, I guess he put that yea,
Speaker 1: And then the next day he never said that. I
Speaker 1: looked at the sun all right. Now, Monique and Netflix
Speaker 1: have reached a settlement in the lawsuit, the discrimination lawsuit
Speaker 1: that was citing racial and gender biases. According to The
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter, they're saying that the two sides of the
Speaker 1: legal disagreement have moved to dismiss the suit, and specifics
Speaker 1: regarding the agreement have not been made public. The two
Speaker 1: so that they came to some sort of agreement behind
Speaker 1: the scenes and dismissed it. It was a monetary we
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't know, we said, it's not public,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what if there was any monetary
Speaker 1: compensation or whatever. But they have moved on past that. Okay.

Speaker 1: The Warriors take on the Boston Celtics for games six.
Speaker 1: They wrap it up tonight. Warriors in six. I expect
Speaker 1: Steph Curry to have a fantastic game. I said fifty
Speaker 1: points a better. I'm just talking though, but Game six
Speaker 1: player is definitely gonna show up. But I feel like
Speaker 1: they close it out tonight. Now. I think Boston takes
Speaker 1: this win at home, but I don't see it. We'll
Speaker 1: see what else we got easy. All right, Well, the
Speaker 1: record heatwave is continuing, with one hundred million people affected.
Speaker 1: More than twenty states are seeing dangerously hot temperatures this week,
Speaker 1: and they're saying in Chicago they actually hit ninety eight
Speaker 1: degrees and that's their warmest weather since two twelve, and
Speaker 1: in Detroit ninety seven degrees yesterday. It's the hottest recorded
Speaker 1: June temperature in the city since two twelve. Now, this
Speaker 1: heat is causing death in Kansas cattle, so they're saying
Speaker 1: an estimated ten thousand head of fat cattle have died
Speaker 1: because of this, so final death numbers continue to come in,
Speaker 1: but that was just an early number. Now, listen, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm from South Carolina in the low country eight four
Speaker 1: three months, corner all day, so I'm used to hell
Speaker 1: like condition. But when I was in Dallas this weekend,
Speaker 1: I've never felt no heat like that. Like we was
Speaker 1: in the car and said it was one hundred and
Speaker 1: eight degrees and when you stepped outside, it felt every
Speaker 1: bit of it, to the point where I was like, look,
Speaker 1: while we're outside, we're not going to walk around too much.
Speaker 1: Does everybody as still as possible? Okay, drink a lot
Speaker 1: of water. And it was one of those things like
Speaker 1: we was at Bishop Tdj's birthday party, so while people
Speaker 1: were walking in, you're just getting the wave until I
Speaker 1: can get inside, okay. And nobody walking over this greeting
Speaker 1: nobody right now? It's too hot. Yeah, and it's really
Speaker 1: dangerous and divided. They're saying, with the dry conditions and
Speaker 1: extreme heat, it's opportunity for wildfires. Wow, so that's another
Speaker 1: danger all right. Now, Today's January six hearings are continuing
Speaker 1: and the focus today is going to be about Vice
Speaker 1: President former Vice President Mike Pence, and so Committee aids
Speaker 1: are saying that Trump's pressure campaign against Pence directly contributed
Speaker 1: to the violence on January six They said Mike Pence's
Speaker 1: life was in danger as rioters were chanting, hang Mike Pence.
Speaker 1: There's going to be new materials and documents about Mike
Speaker 1: Pence's movement on January sixth and what he was doing
Speaker 1: when the Senate Chamber was forced to evacuate after rioters
Speaker 1: briefed the US capital. Their hearing is also going to
Speaker 1: focus on Trump's attorney John Eastman's theory. The theory was
Speaker 1: that Pence had the authority to overturn the election results
Speaker 1: when Congress certified Joe Biden's victory. It was a theory
Speaker 1: that Trump's own White House attorneys said was not true.
Speaker 1: They rejected that, but his allies embraced what John Eastman
Speaker 1: had to say, and so that's gonna also basically, they
Speaker 1: have a bunch of emails that they sent related to
Speaker 1: the efforts to overturn the election that could shed new
Speaker 1: light on Donald Trump's attorneys thinking in the days leading
Speaker 1: up to January sixth, and they are reiterating Pence did
Speaker 1: not have the authority to subvert the election. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I always thought that was so strange that
Speaker 1: defect that all of those people was chanting to hang
Speaker 1: Mike Pence and they didn't get charged with threatening a
Speaker 1: government official, Like that's a felony, Like that's a felony
Speaker 1: that's punishable by up to five years of prison. That
Speaker 1: should have been a layer, right. So you know, we've
Speaker 1: been encouraging people to make sure that you pay attention
Speaker 1: to what's going on. And you know, Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: right now weighing whether to announce his twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: bid before the mid terms, and so his advisors are
Speaker 1: divided on the timing of what should happen. He's been
Speaker 1: talking to people and trying to figure out what he
Speaker 1: should do. He could announce now it would this case
Speaker 1: will impact nothing unless they're going to actually press charges
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump, and they already said that they have
Speaker 1: enough to indict him. Unless they're gonna do that, it's
Speaker 1: not going to impact nothing. By the way, they couldn't
Speaker 1: indict him, and it still wouldn't inpact nothing. His supporters
Speaker 1: are die hard. All right, Well that is your front
Speaker 1: page news, all right, thank you, miss ye now when
Speaker 1: we come back, Kirk Franklin will be joining us. He
Speaker 1: has a new project dropping. He's on tour and we're
Speaker 1: gonna kick it with them mine, so don't move. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club, The Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club and Charlotte the Guard Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. You got
Speaker 1: a special guest in the building. We have Kurt Franklin.
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Man. Listen, y'all are making it home for me. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm totally grateful for them. Now you are running around
Speaker 1: like you are a brand new artist, like your star.
Speaker 1: You was in Toronto and they said you had plane trouble,
Speaker 1: so you drove all the way from Toronto, bro Bron.
Speaker 1: That's not brand new artist business, by the way, because
Speaker 1: it was a private jet problem. No, but it's still
Speaker 1: a brand new artist business said I'm not coming, but
Speaker 1: he said, you know what you got in the car
Speaker 1: and they drove all the way down. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: How long was that drive? I think it was like
Speaker 1: eight hour. It was like eight or nine hours. Couldn't
Speaker 1: this gracefer driving over flying anyway? Though, you know, it
Speaker 1: just kind of depends on where you're driving, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of piss where you're driving. I would have preferred
Speaker 1: flying absolutely right there. But because the tour bus was
Speaker 1: driving so fast, all the eggs were falling out of
Speaker 1: the fridge. And yeah, man, it's like it was horrible.
Speaker 1: It was horrible last night. People were falling out of
Speaker 1: bunks because we were speeding trying to get here. You know,
Speaker 1: again it's the Breakfast Club. Well, no, we appreciate you.
Speaker 1: You're Kirk Franklin, so let's not forget that. Absolutely, this
Speaker 1: is a big deal. You know, we need your energy
Speaker 1: at times, all the time because there's so much going
Speaker 1: on in the world. Yeah it is, Yeah, it is, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is, man, And that's why I'm glad to be
Speaker 1: here to talk about. Man, this new collab with these kids,
Speaker 1: and I got the hat on. But because their bus,
Speaker 1: uh it's like about thirty forty minutes behind, and so
Speaker 1: you know, um and yeah, trust me, because the studio
Speaker 1: was supposed to be full of them. So really today, man,
Speaker 1: I want to just really celebrate, man, these kids that
Speaker 1: I want America to know there's a community of young
Speaker 1: people that knew about them but there's a whole other
Speaker 1: community that I really want to introduce them to tell
Speaker 1: us about them, Yeah, yeah, from tell us about him
Speaker 1: already signed to you. Oh no, no, no no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: They were founded by these two incredible guys, Tony and JJ.
Speaker 1: And Tony and JJ were very prolific in the contemporari
Speaker 1: Christian space, writings really huge Christian songs, and they put
Speaker 1: together this collective of like these little young juggernauts, like
Speaker 1: I call them the Avengers, and it's like a collective
Speaker 1: of these young worship kids. And so over the last
Speaker 1: few years it has exploded, Like we don't tour right now,
Speaker 1: and the average attendant, the average at tennis is ten thousand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just sold out tour. So Maverick City, all right,
Speaker 1: So correct me or I just want you to explain
Speaker 1: the inception of it. So it was it more like
Speaker 1: a writing camp when it started, Okay, So tell me
Speaker 1: how this happening, okay, And I'm giving it to you. Second,
Speaker 1: and this because remember this happened outside of me. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just here really because I was really really blessed
Speaker 1: me part of this collab album, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: like you know how you saw Lincoln Park and Jay,
Speaker 1: I'm not calling myself Jay, I'm not calling myself Jay.
Speaker 1: I know I'm Kirk, you know. But they were songwriters
Speaker 1: that came from like these worship I mean, they were
Speaker 1: just they were like worship leaders at the church and
Speaker 1: they came together as like young writers up under Tony
Speaker 1: and JJ who you know, shout out to them because
Speaker 1: everything started with the vision from them and then they
Speaker 1: they just put these kids together and they just started
Speaker 1: writing in like houses and cribs and the songs started
Speaker 1: to take off. And what really blew them up, uh
Speaker 1: was YouTube. They were posting all of their worship stuff
Speaker 1: on YouTube and men they would get like fifty sixty
Speaker 1: million views and yeah, yeah, so you know, it's just
Speaker 1: it's beautiful to see what they've done in the space.
Speaker 1: A lot of it has been in the contimporarate Christian space,
Speaker 1: and now they are also kind of, you know, just
Speaker 1: just really gaining momentum and gospel and for people that
Speaker 1: don't know, historically contimporati Christian has mainly been non African
Speaker 1: American and gospel has been mainly African. It's unfortunate. I've
Speaker 1: always hated that. Yeah, contimburate. Christian has always been more
Speaker 1: about other brothers and sisters, and then gospel has been
Speaker 1: mainly black and brown. What made what made you go
Speaker 1: in the role with them and do a project with them?
Speaker 1: You know, because you've done numerous projects I'm sure they
Speaker 1: have done. So what made you say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna extend my arm and introduced them to the
Speaker 1: people that already my fans, people that follow me, the
Speaker 1: people that are already been following me. What made you
Speaker 1: do that? Wow? Well, great question. Well I was invited.
Speaker 1: They they they've reached out to me and they didn't
Speaker 1: have to. But I'm telling you, man, their machine is
Speaker 1: growing like like it's a phenomena, right, Angela, it's a phenomena.
Speaker 1: It has to give you like a fresh type of
Speaker 1: energy too. I'm humble by mad humble book. They didn't
Speaker 1: have to. Like I'm telling you, these kids are bye
Speaker 1: by themselves, you know, like they've always shown me love,
Speaker 1: They've always called me. You know, they was coming, uncle Kirk,
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, we're following in your footsteps,
Speaker 1: but really they're killing my footsteps. And so Monday morning
Speaker 1: after Super Bowl I got a call about yo man,
Speaker 1: what do you think about you and uh Math City
Speaker 1: doing this two together like a co headline two and
Speaker 1: we're on stage together the whole night. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's a co headlining tour. And it's like we
Speaker 1: were at Prudential Center last week. It wasn't a seat
Speaker 1: available and you've been a Prudential Yes. Now it looks
Speaker 1: led just from the videos that you guys have been posting.
Speaker 1: So the album Kingdom Book one that you guys a
Speaker 1: collaboration album. Can you talk about the process of recording
Speaker 1: that together? Yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am. You know Tony and
Speaker 1: JJ's vision. Tony's mom was incarcery and so he as
Speaker 1: as a young boy, he would have to go visit
Speaker 1: her in prison and then and what's crazy about it
Speaker 1: is that my sister has been in and out of
Speaker 1: prison all her life for the drug addiction. So she
Speaker 1: was incarcer the longest, like fifteen years. My grandfather was
Speaker 1: in prison for murder and so, and then my sister's
Speaker 1: dad was in prison, so and unfortunately they were all
Speaker 1: in prison at the same time the state of Texas.
Speaker 1: So it's I come from that type of background as
Speaker 1: far as myself person or I could identify. So what
Speaker 1: we did is we recorded the album in a prison
Speaker 1: in Miami, Florida in the Everglades. So we recorded this
Speaker 1: album live in a prison, bro And and you've got
Speaker 1: the men of this prison standing behind singers and standing
Speaker 1: next to singers, and we went in earlier and they
Speaker 1: were teaching them. They were teaching the prisoners the songs.
Speaker 1: So you got the prisoners singing along with sopranos and
Speaker 1: altoles and tenors and dudes and just like this big
Speaker 1: hosh part of just people needing hope. It's because you know,
Speaker 1: you can be still on the outside but still being prisoned,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And so you've got people
Speaker 1: that are all looking for freedom. And the first single,
Speaker 1: one of the lines is we're singing freedom, you know,
Speaker 1: and our testimonies we'll be singing forever and ever always,
Speaker 1: And so you know, man, we just want to show
Speaker 1: people what the kingdom looks like because you know, you know,
Speaker 1: we also know that some people are victims, are massing coarceration,
Speaker 1: and we also know that there are some men that
Speaker 1: have made mistakes. We just want to show people that
Speaker 1: if you've made mistakes or if you were looked over
Speaker 1: or if you were done wrong, that your story doesn't
Speaker 1: end behind bars. I tell you, guys, at a video
Speaker 1: to that song where it's actually in a prison, yes, man,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a thirteen hundred inmates were providing
Speaker 1: the chorus and the vocals. You know how amazing that
Speaker 1: is when you watch the video. It is really because
Speaker 1: it is such an issue in our community, mass incarceration
Speaker 1: and seeing something like that is really like, these are
Speaker 1: human beings and a lot of times there's so much
Speaker 1: inhumane treatment when you're incarcerated that it's hard for people.
Speaker 1: People don't have a lot of sympathy too. Yes, they
Speaker 1: think you're in jail, you did something wrong, you're a
Speaker 1: bad person, and that is not really how it goes. Yes,
Speaker 1: most of the time. Yes, as soon as my sister
Speaker 1: got out of prison, just the lack of support. If
Speaker 1: her brother was not Kirk, you know, some of these
Speaker 1: things would have just got overlooked it, you know. And
Speaker 1: can you imagine how many people get out and don't
Speaker 1: have the resources right. I remember when my sister got
Speaker 1: out the very first time, it was it was over
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, and I got her a place to stay.
Speaker 1: I gotta put in situations. But if if she didn't
Speaker 1: have those resources, she would have got lost. And so
Speaker 1: I think it's beautiful what Ton and JJ are doing.
Speaker 1: I think that this album it's going to speak to
Speaker 1: people that are either behind bars and their minds or
Speaker 1: souls or physically that everybody makes up the King. All Right,
Speaker 1: we got more with Kirk Franklin when we come back,
Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne, the guy we are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club was still kicking in with Kirk Franklin. Now, recently,
Speaker 1: you said at a show that you felt like our
Speaker 1: generation let down the younger generation. Why do you feel
Speaker 1: that way? Oh, man, I do. It's because I really
Speaker 1: do feel, especially when it comes to faith. It's I
Speaker 1: believe that when it comes to faith, that we let
Speaker 1: religiosity lead the narrative of people's relationship with God, meaning
Speaker 1: that we set principles that were more cultural than they
Speaker 1: were bibliocentric. You know, whether it's like you know makeup,
Speaker 1: I will you know how you dress or what you say,
Speaker 1: or you can't do this, you can't do that, like
Speaker 1: we lead with the narrative or what you can't do. Well,
Speaker 1: that's a horrible way to start a conversation. That's a
Speaker 1: horrible way to build a relationship. Is that if I
Speaker 1: meet you, the first thing I do it is I
Speaker 1: give you a list of what you can't do. But
Speaker 1: the narrative of the faith, especially the Christian faith. And
Speaker 1: and that's why we say that Western Christianity and that
Speaker 1: teaches of Jesus Christ are not synonymous, right, they are
Speaker 1: not the same. And so if I give you a
Speaker 1: list of your freedoms and everything that is written with love, ink,
Speaker 1: then we have a better opportunity to kind of get
Speaker 1: a great start. But what we did is that we
Speaker 1: passed onto the next generation at least to what they
Speaker 1: can't do. Right. This is wrong. This is wrong, And
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a way to start a relationship.
Speaker 1: And so that is a great mistake that we've done
Speaker 1: with passing to the next generation the message and the
Speaker 1: love of Jesus. Yeah. No, you're right. I've heard stories
Speaker 1: of young girls who get pregnant getting kicked out of
Speaker 1: their church. Sat down. Yeah, And Saucy Santana, he was
Speaker 1: up here talking about his mom is a pastor and
Speaker 1: you know when he came out, it was like we
Speaker 1: got to pray this gay out of you type of situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very unfortunate that we have not done life with people,
Speaker 1: but to do life with people, it's very intrusive. It's
Speaker 1: very invasive. You know. It's because the real church, it's
Speaker 1: supposed to let you in, and we're supposed to let
Speaker 1: you into our junk. It's like the problem. The reason
Speaker 1: why we keep people on length away, it's that because
Speaker 1: if we let you into close, you get to see
Speaker 1: that we don't have it together as much as we
Speaker 1: try to make sure that you got it together. Now,
Speaker 1: you also had Kingdom Business. So it's so interesting that
Speaker 1: you yes, and I saw the first two episodes on
Speaker 1: BT Plus and so what I like about that is
Speaker 1: everything you just kind of touched on here is kind
Speaker 1: of what Kingdom Business is about. And it's your first
Speaker 1: time also in that role where you're producing. You produced
Speaker 1: the right executive producer alone with Devon Franklin, Holidays, Carter,
Speaker 1: shout out to them, shout out to BT and if
Speaker 1: you could tell, they really put a bag behind Yeah
Speaker 1: it looks good. I mean, just boy who's in it?
Speaker 1: And then bringing y'all on board to put a bad man.
Speaker 1: And it is a story of the church and the
Speaker 1: juxtaposition of who can come in, who's allowed in, and
Speaker 1: who has to say so who can it can't come in? Right?
Speaker 1: So can you see a stripper as a gospel singer? Yeah? Accepted? Yeah,
Speaker 1: as a gospel singer because really, like you can find
Speaker 1: God anywhere, find God in the strip club, and that's
Speaker 1: a great way to reach that audience. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying I'm going to the strip, but you're not going
Speaker 1: to say if you want to be a gospel singer
Speaker 1: you can't, because well it's I would say that if
Speaker 1: you want to be a gospel singers, she has really
Speaker 1: great questions looking to see see this wouldn't know what
Speaker 1: she's doing. That's right, she's been practicing. I am saying
Speaker 1: that all of our faiths. Uh, it is a journey, right.
Speaker 1: It's almost like it's a married man. Can a married
Speaker 1: man go to a strip club and still have a
Speaker 1: healthy marriage. I would think that at some point the
Speaker 1: love relationship of the wife should pull the man, and
Speaker 1: another trajectory that she should not have to be on
Speaker 1: his back about it. But see, love should pull us
Speaker 1: but if there's good seafood in there, because you know
Speaker 1: a lot of this stubs. I know your wife love seafood,
Speaker 1: know your This is hilarious because it's really what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to say this is, you know, let me tell
Speaker 1: us about the breakfast club. They know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: If you come up in here, you gotta be prepared.
Speaker 1: I would say the Red Lobicer got good biscuits too,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, yeah, so yeah, if you want to
Speaker 1: look at biscuits, you can go to Red Lobster and
Speaker 1: look at them biscuits. You know. The records playing is
Speaker 1: your club? Yeah, but I'm not going to Oh, I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, like the record with you a
Speaker 1: Little Baby, the record Me a Little Baby like it
Speaker 1: did great? Record did well? Wow? How many rappers after
Speaker 1: that reached out to you to do a record with you?
Speaker 1: If any? Well, now I had many just throughout the years,
Speaker 1: just just just you know, you know, even after ultra
Speaker 1: like being with Kanye you know, um and and and
Speaker 1: I think that for me, I try to be very careful.
Speaker 1: Like I just did a record with DJ Mustard. Um
Speaker 1: he reached out to me for me to do something,
Speaker 1: and I just did Lama's record. It's I try to
Speaker 1: be very very methodical and what I do it's because
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to be the gospel go to
Speaker 1: guy for rap albums. Is because I don't want it's
Speaker 1: I don't want my posture to be that my intent
Speaker 1: is to not be anything but to spread this message.
Speaker 1: And I don't want the gospel to ever look like
Speaker 1: it's a novelty and that it's a hook that I
Speaker 1: really would love to be able to do relationship with people.
Speaker 1: So I really try to do music with people that
Speaker 1: there's some type of history of either they know of
Speaker 1: my music, they've had an experience with my music, versus
Speaker 1: somebody who really may not know me but may hurt something. That's, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's get my guy on this, right.
Speaker 1: It's because I'm all about relationship, and so I would
Speaker 1: much rather build relationship with somebody than just to write
Speaker 1: a hook or an intro for their album. So how
Speaker 1: do you feel when let's say a rapper does a
Speaker 1: quote unquote gospel album, right, and they do a gospel
Speaker 1: album and you take it serious because this is this
Speaker 1: is your life, this is how you live, this is
Speaker 1: what you preach it's what I believe. Yeah, So when
Speaker 1: you see a rapper do a gospel autum right, and
Speaker 1: then from the gospel album they go back and then
Speaker 1: do a regular album, does it seem like a novelty?
Speaker 1: Does it seem like it's done just to get accolades
Speaker 1: because they don't necessarily believe it, because if they believe that,
Speaker 1: they would stay in it. But they go left or right.
Speaker 1: So do you still how do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: When you see great questions, I think that it must
Speaker 1: be done with a great sense of soberness. It's because
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we think that the trajectory of growth
Speaker 1: is always linear, but it's not always linear, right, Sometimes
Speaker 1: growth it is like this, right, you know, sometimes you
Speaker 1: do this and you fall back, and you do this,
Speaker 1: you falter. It's you know. One of the greatest examples
Speaker 1: that I can have is that, you know, I had
Speaker 1: a very close relationship with r. Kelly, very close relationship,
Speaker 1: and was not aware of the trauma that he was
Speaker 1: creating in its linear form. You know, this was back
Speaker 1: in ninety four, This was right before I believe I
Speaker 1: Can Fly, and I had a great relationship with Robert
Speaker 1: and led Robert to faith. I mean I was twenty
Speaker 1: four years old and Robert was in love with this
Speaker 1: song I did called while we sing and Robert would
Speaker 1: show up at my concerts and you know, I'm he
Speaker 1: was still our Kelly at the time. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was you know, huge. And so right after our relationship
Speaker 1: is when he did I Believe I Can Fly. And
Speaker 1: then I did a song on one of his albums.
Speaker 1: I put a choir on it, and so we were
Speaker 1: building We're really building relationships, and Robert got really exposed
Speaker 1: to some churches and some church people that kind of
Speaker 1: started being about this in his life. It kind of
Speaker 1: really pissed him off and did him wrong, you know,
Speaker 1: and so I just remember those moments, and so I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, his life like this. I had no idea
Speaker 1: that there were these other things going on. I had
Speaker 1: no idea which which you know, um um um still
Speaker 1: perhaps every day followed the victims um. It's because I
Speaker 1: do believe that there were victims. Yes, you know, as
Speaker 1: I believe it. You pray for the victims, you pray
Speaker 1: for R Kelly also, I do. It's I pray for both.
Speaker 1: It's because that is the difficult job of making sure
Speaker 1: that I'm not trying to put myself in God's position.
Speaker 1: It's I'm not God, and so I have to humble
Speaker 1: myself and even the things I don't understand, I've got
Speaker 1: to be able to pray for everyone. All Right, we
Speaker 1: got more with Kurt Franklin. When we come back, let's
Speaker 1: get into a classic. This is Kirk Franklin with Stomp.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast cluble Morning, that one stop Kurt Franklin Morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Kurt Franklin.
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned your mixtape. Oh my god, why did
Speaker 1: I say you mentioned your mixtape? Now, when your mixtape
Speaker 1: came out, some people will be no, no, some some people,
Speaker 1: you know, we were shocked and some people weren't. That kids,
Speaker 1: I din't wait, I did it. He just hung up
Speaker 1: the phone. Me myself, I wasn't shocked. And and the
Speaker 1: reason I wasn't shocked this because your kids will get
Speaker 1: you to that point, especially your grown kids. Your grown kids.
Speaker 1: If I had a mixtape with my son, my son
Speaker 1: is eighteen years old, I got a mixtape too, right,
Speaker 1: But my son knows I love him, and he knows
Speaker 1: the reason that I do this because I want to
Speaker 1: protect him, and I care him and I love him.
Speaker 1: It didn't come from a place of malice. It came
Speaker 1: from a place of love. In my opinion, you apologize
Speaker 1: for why. The reason why I apologize is because I
Speaker 1: did not want to normalize things that maybe things that
Speaker 1: we expect as far as our culture, the things things
Speaker 1: that we may say, well, that's what my mamma did
Speaker 1: to miss my dad did to me. It is I
Speaker 1: don't want to normalize it. It's that I want to
Speaker 1: be able to acknowledge that there was a standard and
Speaker 1: I didn't meet the standard. That that that that that's
Speaker 1: the part of also being a man. There's also being
Speaker 1: a man of faith. Is acknowledging that or or to
Speaker 1: me just trying to be a good man. Is that
Speaker 1: there is a standard and I didn't meet it. And
Speaker 1: because I didn't meet it, I wanted people to know
Speaker 1: that I'm sorry for doing that. Now a lot of
Speaker 1: people will say, we should apologize to your son. You
Speaker 1: don't know the history there, you don't know what all
Speaker 1: is happening. My son is thirty four years old. My
Speaker 1: son recently was in some trouble, and uh, I was there.
Speaker 1: One thing that bothered me is sometimes it was like
Speaker 1: I felt like your son did something to try to
Speaker 1: hurt you. Yeah, right, he tried to record that, he
Speaker 1: tried to embarrass you, He tried to hurt you. Did
Speaker 1: that make you feel And what was the conversation like that?
Speaker 1: Because it's almost like if even if I getting an
Speaker 1: argument with my son, right, we might say some things
Speaker 1: that to each other that you know after we laugh
Speaker 1: about Dad, I love you, but I would never think
Speaker 1: my son would try to do something to bring my
Speaker 1: empire down or to hurt me or to embarrass me
Speaker 1: on a huge stage. That's that's what an enemy does.
Speaker 1: So how did that affect you? And how did y'all
Speaker 1: heal from that? If y'all did? Um? And the reason
Speaker 1: I'm asking because there's a lot of parents out there
Speaker 1: that have the same similar situation. Yeah. Yeah. We historically
Speaker 1: have tried to keep our journey with our son and
Speaker 1: his state a private family man. Right, we's I love
Speaker 1: my son and we've been here for many many many years,
Speaker 1: and I've done everything that I could to try to
Speaker 1: help him for many many, many many years. My son
Speaker 1: is a very tell too beautiful soul and the way
Speaker 1: that he was wired. Uh, it's not necessarily his fault. Uh.
Speaker 1: Some of us are born with very unique wiring, and
Speaker 1: a lot of times in our community it is hard
Speaker 1: for us strength knowledge certain wiring. You know, we we
Speaker 1: we want to think it's something else. We see people
Speaker 1: outside of our communities, they're very quick to lean towards
Speaker 1: science and medicine and information. Right, Um, not our community, right,
Speaker 1: you know we we we we historically when it comes
Speaker 1: to systems of very uh distrusting of systems, and so
Speaker 1: we have had to walk through many, many, many layers
Speaker 1: historically with our son, my son Reason was incarcerated, right,
Speaker 1: and and and and and so uh we knew we
Speaker 1: we We've been watching it for years. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is my boy. I know my son, and I've known everything.
Speaker 1: And so right now I am proud of him. Is
Speaker 1: because I think that he is. We are privately trying
Speaker 1: to trying to address some of those things. And I
Speaker 1: have to realize envy that he may never be able
Speaker 1: to understand the gravity of what he did. Doesn't make
Speaker 1: sense what I'm saying in context. He may never be
Speaker 1: able to understand it. And for me, I may have
Speaker 1: to live with that and put his well being before
Speaker 1: what he did. In a way, do you think this
Speaker 1: kind of broke down the doors for you to be
Speaker 1: able to address something like this publicly and then work
Speaker 1: on fixing things with your relationship and your approach as
Speaker 1: a thirty four year old man. His willingness to accept
Speaker 1: the un neatness of how God has wired him and
Speaker 1: to embrace that and to embrace the the tools that
Speaker 1: are available will be a very beautiful thing. It's because
Speaker 1: sometimes that will give you a greater opening of understanding
Speaker 1: what life is around you, and it gives you context
Speaker 1: more than anything. I'm grateful that he felt like that
Speaker 1: when in his darkest hour that we pulled up and
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that, was there any hesitation, because
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people would be like, I
Speaker 1: write my son off if he did that, I'd write
Speaker 1: my daughter off when he did that. When your son
Speaker 1: got into trouble, was there any hesitation be like should
Speaker 1: I go help or should I he wants me to
Speaker 1: stand back, he wants to embarrass me, let him figure
Speaker 1: it out on his own. Was there any hesitation? Great
Speaker 1: great or your wife great question? At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, He's still my son. And when something like
Speaker 1: that happened, all back to alve and we me and
Speaker 1: his incredible mother. Shout out to his mother. Shout out
Speaker 1: to his mother. Boy, if I tell you Angela that
Speaker 1: that woman she missed, that woman camped out in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles for weeks to make sure because you know that's
Speaker 1: her only son. She camped out. Shout out to his mother.
Speaker 1: His mother is a hero. And I do want people
Speaker 1: to know that even though what happened with my son
Speaker 1: and I and and once again I acknowledge the mistake
Speaker 1: that I made, it's because I know what I was.
Speaker 1: The reason why I was so disappointed in myself, it's
Speaker 1: because I know what I'm dealing with. He just that day,
Speaker 1: that well those two days, because that recording is two
Speaker 1: separate recordings, and so he recorded me sol and I
Speaker 1: hadn't talked to him at five years and hadn't talked
Speaker 1: to my son in five years when he found when
Speaker 1: he when he called me. But I do want people
Speaker 1: to know I love him. I want the world to
Speaker 1: hear it loud. I love my son. Thank y'all for

Speaker 1: continue to pray for my family. And father left up
Speaker 1: my son right now. Let him know that he's loved
Speaker 1: by you. Let him know that he's loved and that
Speaker 1: there's nothing impossible with you, and that your love for
Speaker 1: him is only only the touch of what he can
Speaker 1: and shall be. And Father helped me to be in
Speaker 1: every way the best father that I can be, so
