Speaker 1: Triangle. I'm figuring it out for some reason that the
Speaker 1: solid holding down. If the base rage let me at
Speaker 1: the breakfast club, everyone just kept telling the prepadence. One
Speaker 1: word to describe the Breakfast Club would be blott impacting
Speaker 1: the coach. People watch the breakfast Club for like news
Speaker 1: and really be tuned in. Man, I don't even know
Speaker 1: what to call it the breakfast Club. It's like brunch.
Speaker 1: Nb Ye and Cholomagne. Wake that ass up, get out

Speaker 1: back to my Today's a good day, man. I'm feel blessed,
Speaker 1: black and holly favored, you know, minus to b s.
Speaker 1: Life's creat I thought, that's how you feel everything that
Speaker 1: is that is, I mean, that's how I scribe to feel.
Speaker 1: And if I don't feel that way, I wake up
Speaker 1: and set my attention to try to shift my energy
Speaker 1: to make myself feel that way. You know, nothing a
Speaker 1: little prayer and a little meditation and some daily affirmations
Speaker 1: can't solve that's now. Let me ask you. Guys in
Speaker 1: the room or any of y'all handy like around the
Speaker 1: house can do things. Nah, not me neither. I figured
Speaker 1: that out yesterday. So my toilet was running right. And
Speaker 1: as a kid, I used to see my dad fixed
Speaker 1: the toilet. Oh no, I can do that now. Nah.
Speaker 1: But I bought the piece. I went to home depot,
Speaker 1: I bought the little piece. I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fix this toilet, take everything off for him. And I
Speaker 1: realized I ain't even got the tools to to to
Speaker 1: take the thing out the toilet. Bro. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: that's why I always encourage your kids like you know,
Speaker 1: trade school is something that we should put an emphasis
Speaker 1: on because you know, people aren't as good with their
Speaker 1: hands as as the generation before us was. Plus, that's
Speaker 1: the way to always make money. Plumbers always make money. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Electricians always make money. People don't start laking. This is
Speaker 1: always make money. You're right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But I think my dad called me stupid yesterday because
Speaker 1: I was I put him on facetown. I was like, her, dad,
Speaker 1: show me how to do it, and he was like, well,
Speaker 1: you need this pool, this tool. I was like, I
Speaker 1: ain't got that tool. He was like, you a man
Speaker 1: and you don't have no tools. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: see and see. My dad will do stuff like that
Speaker 1: to me. But my problem with that is like, don't
Speaker 1: chastise me for what you didn't teach me. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Don't scold me for what you did
Speaker 1: not teach me. So right, I see it between say,
Speaker 1: let me sat exactly, somebody had to teach you. You
Speaker 1: ain't teach me. To teach me that, well, I just
Speaker 1: look everything up on YouTube. But I definitely have about
Speaker 1: five different tool boxes because my dad every year gives
Speaker 1: me like a toolbox. Oh well, I need to come
Speaker 1: over and get one. Ye, so I'm borrowing once a least.
Speaker 1: My dad treats me. He just I think growing up
Speaker 1: my parents, my dad especially, would always trying to make us,
Speaker 1: like fix things around the house and learn how to
Speaker 1: do things. I'm pretty good at, like hooking up electronics
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I got to fix my toilet.
Speaker 1: Her company here. I'm coming to the crib to get
Speaker 1: some of those tools because I didn't have nothing to
Speaker 1: fix that. Damn. Told. Have you ever gone and used
Speaker 1: somebody else's toilet and it broke while you were in there?
Speaker 1: It was it was kind of broken, and then you're like, damn,
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do it? I try to
Speaker 1: fix this Number one. I would never do too much
Speaker 1: in somebody else's. Didn't do too much. But like you
Speaker 1: could just go to pan it's running or it doesn't
Speaker 1: flush or something happens. Oh, they're on their own it,
Speaker 1: they only own. You gotta fix that toilet, bro right,
Speaker 1: you knew that toilet was running before I went all right,
Speaker 1: you ain't trying to fix it yourself first. No, if
Speaker 1: you're toilets a running track, start and that's on you.
Speaker 1: You knew that before I walked in there. That reminds
Speaker 1: me of a story Angelie's manager one time. Y'all were
Speaker 1: all in the hotel room and she blew the bathroom up.
Speaker 1: But were not all in a hotel room. We'll explain
Speaker 1: the story. Everybody was in different rooms. But she actually
Speaker 1: used the toilet and stopped it up. Well, that was
Speaker 1: Crispy Kreme. They had nothing to do with the toilet
Speaker 1: being stopped up, all right, that was Krispy Kreme. From
Speaker 1: the front desk. Was so disgusting. I've never seen this
Speaker 1: type of load come out of such a beautiful woman.
Speaker 1: Guy was disgusting. Murder beat South Carolina that's where it happened.
Speaker 1: That goodness gracious, all right, Well, good morning everybody. Let's
Speaker 1: get the show cracking now this morning. We have a
Speaker 1: special guest joining us. She's a gospel singer and she
Speaker 1: just wrote a book. Kiara shared we'll be joining us
Speaker 1: this morning. Yeah, she played her mama in that Clark
Speaker 1: Sisters movie on Lifetime. Right. The name of her book
Speaker 1: is Big, Bold and Beautiful. That's right, And we'll be
Speaker 1: talking to her this morning. And we got front page news.
Speaker 1: What's going on? What were you talking about? You? Well,
Speaker 1: Let's first off, give you some updates on what happened
Speaker 1: with Dante. Right. His death has been ruled a homicide. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
Speaker 1: morning morning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the
Speaker 1: guy we all the Breakfast Club. Now, let's get in
Speaker 1: some front page news where we started. Well, the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Center police officer who shot and killed Dante right following
Speaker 1: a traffic stop on Sunday has been identified. That officer
Speaker 1: is cam Patter. According to a press release, she has
Speaker 1: been with the Brooklyn Center Police Department for twenty six years.
Speaker 1: They've also released the footage where you can hear the
Speaker 1: police officer thought that she was pulling out her taser
Speaker 1: but instead pulled out her gun when she shot and
Speaker 1: killed Dante right. Listen to this footage. Yeah, now, Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said that he believed the officer, like,
Speaker 1: we just said to your handgun instead of the tasers.
Speaker 1: You can hear she's screaming taser, Taser, Taser. Here's what
Speaker 1: he had to say. The officer while struggling with mister
Speaker 1: taser taser. That is part of the officers training prior
Speaker 1: to the po A taser. During this encounter, however, the
Speaker 1: officer drew their handgun instead of their taser. We train
Speaker 1: with our handguns on our dominant side and our taser
Speaker 1: on our weak side. This is done purposefully in its
Speaker 1: trained As I watched the video and listened to the
Speaker 1: officers commands, it is my belief that the officer had
Speaker 1: the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot mister
Speaker 1: Wright with a single bullet. This appears to me, from
Speaker 1: what I viewed and the officer's reaction and distress immediately after,
Speaker 1: that this was an accidental discharge. Hey man, I mean listen,
Speaker 1: at this point, there's nothing to discuss here. You know,
Speaker 1: everything we could possibly say has been said before. This
Speaker 1: is just a new rerun. Okay, it's the same thing
Speaker 1: that happened in the Oscar Grand case. Am I mistaken
Speaker 1: when I say that this isn't the first time this
Speaker 1: has happened. They said, normally police officers put their handgun
Speaker 1: on their dominant side and then they put the taser
Speaker 1: on the non dominant side. That way that mix ups
Speaker 1: like these don't happen. And the lighter they have some
Speaker 1: right yellow somewhere. Yeah, which which I don't understand and
Speaker 1: is is you know, they make all these rules and
Speaker 1: regulations to try to stop this from happening again, and
Speaker 1: then it does. So what happens. But I think that's
Speaker 1: the consequence. No, I think they did. I think they
Speaker 1: made that like they made protocols, They didn't extra training.
Speaker 1: That's why she yelled taste the taser and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: That's why they put the you know, the the taison
Speaker 1: on your your less dominant side, and then they made
Speaker 1: it a bright color so you can see the difference.
Speaker 1: But so what's what's what's the consequence? Now you go
Speaker 1: through all this, but you know, the lady clearly it
Speaker 1: was a mistake, So what is the consequence that man?
Speaker 1: Because it wasn't what was it a mistake or strategic homicide?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like it's because because I
Speaker 1: think if you've been on the fourth for like twenty
Speaker 1: some years, and she she should know the difference between
Speaker 1: a gun and at this point, so I can't just
Speaker 1: say it was a mistake, you know. But but it
Speaker 1: will be rule to accident, and it will be rule
Speaker 1: to justify justifiable homicide, and it will be no charges
Speaker 1: and she probably will be fired, but she'll be you know,
Speaker 1: um sent to another jurisdiction before the years old, so
Speaker 1: she'd be in another department making the same mistakes. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm sure she probably she will be fired. But what
Speaker 1: happens now, Like this man lost his life, This family
Speaker 1: lost their child, son, just child lost his father. So
Speaker 1: what are the consequences now, Yeah, you could say it
Speaker 1: was a mistake, but mistakes like this can't happen. Once again,
Speaker 1: we out here talking about new reruns. Yeah, that's the welcome.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the sitcom Black in America, the only sitcom
Speaker 1: that has new reruns all the time. And you know,
Speaker 1: she was on the force for twenty six years. They
Speaker 1: didn't say she had any other problems, but man lost
Speaker 1: his Yeah, they haven't said much about anything in her
Speaker 1: background yet. But police Chief Tim gain And said there
Speaker 1: will be an independent investigation. Here's what else he said.
Speaker 1: I've asked the BCA to conducting independent investigation and in
Speaker 1: the shooting and death. Once they are completed, I expect
Speaker 1: they will submit their findings independent of me, to the
Speaker 1: appropriate authorities, the appropriate attorneys that were look and review
Speaker 1: this case. The officer is currently on administrative lead. She
Speaker 1: will not be returning to duty until this investigations runs course,
Speaker 1: and she for all terms of purposes. I think we
Speaker 1: can look at the video and king whether or not
Speaker 1: she'll be returning. She'll get fired, but then you'll get
Speaker 1: moved to another department. She'll be in another jurisdiction, jurisdiction
Speaker 1: making the same mistakes later on in life. Listen, there
Speaker 1: is consequences and repercussions the mild practice in every field
Speaker 1: except for law enforcement. Okay, all right, well that is
Speaker 1: your front page news. All right, that's that's a tough one. Man,
Speaker 1: young man lost his life. Every one they say, but
Speaker 1: this one is they'll say it's a mistake and keep
Speaker 1: it moving. They've done it a million times already. Like
Speaker 1: we've seen this one once again. This is like I said,
Speaker 1: this is a new rerun. We've seen it many million
Speaker 1: times already. Certain mistakes. That's just too irresponsible. All right,
Speaker 1: but what happened if there was a protocol, what do
Speaker 1: you mean what happened? I don't know what happens next? Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, she can't not something that something has to happen.
Speaker 1: But then you know, people will say you know it's
Speaker 1: all good to you get punched in their face, right,
Speaker 1: like like everything's all good to you get punched in
Speaker 1: the face. Yeah, she's trained and trained and trained, but
Speaker 1: now when it happens, you just lose everything and don't
Speaker 1: know what you're doing. He's gonna get fired and move
Speaker 1: to another jurisdiction. They're gonna rule with an accident, justify, justified, buhamicide.
Speaker 1: It will probably be no charges. I don't see him happening. Well,
Speaker 1: get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five,
Speaker 1: one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit
Speaker 1: us up right now. Phone lines to wide open. It's
Speaker 1: to breakfast club. Go morning, the breakfast club. Wake up,
Speaker 1: wake up, wake If you're trying to get it off
Speaker 1: your chest, your man of blas, we want to hear
Speaker 1: from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this David?
Speaker 1: David good on to get it off your chest? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about the shooting up in
Speaker 1: Minnesota that the young man that was killed by police. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's very tragic, very unfortunate. It sucks that you know,
Speaker 1: with twenty six years training on the floors that they
Speaker 1: can they can simply call that a mistake. And say
Speaker 1: that it was an accident, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't don't know that this when your gun and the taser,
Speaker 1: you don't need to have no goddamn you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And if you don't know how to if
Speaker 1: you don't know how to draw your weapon properly, you
Speaker 1: don't know whether or not you're drawing your teams or
Speaker 1: you're gun you shouldn't be caring either. I agree. And
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, the young man was
Speaker 1: complying at first, and man, it just sucks that. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe he got scared. I don't know, something caused him
Speaker 1: to decide to try to run, and unfortunately will never
Speaker 1: know whether or not he would have just gotten off
Speaker 1: with a ticket. You know what I'm saying, Because because
Speaker 1: the officer didn't remember her training after twenty six years,
Speaker 1: she forgot what she was doing. And it sucks that
Speaker 1: that we lost another young, innocent life behind some some
Speaker 1: bs like that. Yeah, and I think that we do
Speaker 1: have to factor in how scared you know, black people
Speaker 1: are in these situations, and he's a kid man. We
Speaker 1: don't know if that brother had a panic attack, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like anything could have happened. And
Speaker 1: that's that you were like, like you said, she's been
Speaker 1: on the force for twenty five, twenty six years, like
Speaker 1: she shouldn't know. He wasn't a rookie. Put myself in
Speaker 1: that situation, and you know, I asked myself what I
Speaker 1: have remained called I'm seeing all these cops showing up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have been over me. I don't know. It's been
Speaker 1: a long time since I've been in that situation. Listen,
Speaker 1: we have such short term memories. Remember I was scared,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and we have such
Speaker 1: short term memories. We just watched a lieutenant, a man
Speaker 1: who served in the military, are growing and don't tell
Speaker 1: y'all he would shook the death he was scared. So
Speaker 1: imagine that little kid felt twenty years old. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it sucks. It's terrible. This before kid, my language. It
Speaker 1: just keeps happening a way too often, man, too often.
Speaker 1: Then you think about you think about how a barber
Speaker 1: somebody that cuts your hair has to go through more
Speaker 1: hours of training then a police officer done. That's right, ridiculous,
Speaker 1: that's right. I just wanted to get that off my chairs. Man.
Speaker 1: I listened to you guys every morning. You guys have
Speaker 1: a plus Tuesday. Get it off your chests eight hundred
Speaker 1: five eight five one oh five one. If you need
Speaker 1: to vent, hit us up now. It's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast Club. This is your time to
Speaker 1: get it off your chests. Whether you're man or blessed,
Speaker 1: but you better have the same in We want to
Speaker 1: hear from you on the breakfast class. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 1: Hey did the NBA's chests from Long Island? Hey, Jess
Speaker 1: could get it off at chess? You know what? I
Speaker 1: was just listening to Charlotagne say how that cops should
Speaker 1: have had a malpractice you know how every other profession
Speaker 1: that you know, if you're pretty serious like a cop,
Speaker 1: I'm an r n um. If I make a mistake
Speaker 1: at work, if I don't break a medication in half
Speaker 1: the right way, if I do something long, I face
Speaker 1: a lawsuit, I lose my license, I lose my job,
Speaker 1: I end up in jail if it's bad enough, Because
Speaker 1: I take that in life. So something about that really
Speaker 1: got me going. When Charlomagne and said that they should
Speaker 1: have some sort of malpractice issue, you know, some sort
Speaker 1: of a Yeah, absolutely right, absolutely right. It gets me going,
Speaker 1: it really does. Yeah, every industry damned, every industry guid
Speaker 1: an except for law enforcement. But let me ask you
Speaker 1: a question. If a doctor does some some type of malpractice,
Speaker 1: a mistake or accident, can you sue that doctor personally
Speaker 1: or does he have insurance and you sue the insurance company.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure she can go to jail if it's
Speaker 1: bad enough, So I assume that that's what they need
Speaker 1: to do. Your license, you'll never work again. That's why
Speaker 1: getting rid of qualified immunity it's so important, like I
Speaker 1: said during dunky to Day yesterday, because now you can
Speaker 1: sue those police officers directly. When you start affecting people's pockets,
Speaker 1: man and threatening them with real prison time, they'll change
Speaker 1: the way they move if they know that they can
Speaker 1: get sued directly, and then no civil suits that people
Speaker 1: get rewarded. It's gonna come from their money as well
Speaker 1: as their future pensions. Oh, they'll switch up, all right? Hello?
Speaker 1: Who's this? All right? What's up? How you doing? Man?
Speaker 1: This was the pocket USA? Man? What's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: Get it off your chests? R Yeah? Man, I just
Speaker 1: going to call and talk about that soldier man, I
Speaker 1: just want to say how he hounded It was very well, right,
Speaker 1: but just put that on me. Just that was me
Speaker 1: and I get Pepper place. The first thing I possed.
Speaker 1: What it did was brab my shirts, breathed down and
Speaker 1: looked for something. Yea, and I would have been accused
Speaker 1: of reaching for a gun. Yeah right, that's why the
Speaker 1: pocket you say, it's so important, man, That's why I'm
Speaker 1: on this mission to push this product. Man, I just
Speaker 1: hope everybody tapped into it. Man, we need this product.
Speaker 1: It's very necessary. Got your pocket, that's your thing where
Speaker 1: you hang your license and stuff out of the window. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's said he sent me. He sent me on
Speaker 1: too for my son. Yeah. So if you don't know,
Speaker 1: he has a what's the name of the company? Side
Speaker 1: the pocket. Pocket you would say, where you can put
Speaker 1: your license, to your registration, your proof of insurance, and
Speaker 1: you hanging out on the outside of your car so
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the cops coming in.
Speaker 1: But if they ask you to open the door, like
Speaker 1: they ask them to open the door, I mean you're
Speaker 1: still in the same situations. Fine, that's fine, that's still
Speaker 1: hoping the door, but your hands were staying buildable. Now
Speaker 1: you're not getting tougher spark. Now you're not getting shot.
Speaker 1: Now you're not getting a fuse of reason for anything.
Speaker 1: That's doing the hard member, And that's the perfect I listen,
Speaker 1: I liked your idea a lot, but nae, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean is necessary? Man, I'm with you. But
Speaker 1: cop cops will see that hanging out the window and
Speaker 1: say they felt threatened who they don't know what, they
Speaker 1: didn't know what it was. That's knowing too. There's no
Speaker 1: excute to say they starts praying by this product hanging
Speaker 1: out to your door when they've seen y'll head. You're
Speaker 1: not moving. There's no reason for you to move, so
Speaker 1: there's no no acute for them to tabor you. I've
Speaker 1: seen it. We we've seen it. We've seen it a
Speaker 1: million times. How quickly y'all forget the chant hands up,
Speaker 1: don't shoot? Because brother Michael Brown had his hands up
Speaker 1: in the air when he was shot, sir, Like, there's
Speaker 1: no way you can look at any of these police killings,
Speaker 1: police brutality. We've seen it a million different ways, and
Speaker 1: it's and it never ends the way we always think
Speaker 1: it's gonna end. So I don't understand how we keep
Speaker 1: lying on ourselves and giving ourselves these bs excuses. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five,
Speaker 1: one oh five. We got rumors on the way, Yes,
Speaker 1: and we are going to talk about money. What hip
Speaker 1: hop artists could make a hundred million dollars when coin
Speaker 1: base goes public. Also, guess who just bought The Weekend's
Speaker 1: house for nineteen point three million dollars. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get into that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. I'm wanting everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the rumors. Let's talk Cheryl Underwood's This is the
Speaker 1: Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well,
Speaker 1: the Talk is back on the air. This is after
Speaker 1: all of the controversy with Sharon Osborne and Sharon Osborne
Speaker 1: is clearly no longer with the show. Filling in. Also
Speaker 1: on the show was Donald E. Green. He's an expert
Speaker 1: on diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. Also, Anita Phillips was
Speaker 1: on this episode a trauma therapist and life coach to
Speaker 1: help guide the conversation. Now some of the things that
Speaker 1: were discussed on the show. Cheryl Underwood did the opening statements.
Speaker 1: We haven't been together at the studio since the week
Speaker 1: of March tenth, and as you may know, during our break,
Speaker 1: Sharon decided to leave the talk. We need to process
Speaker 1: the events of that day and what happened since so
Speaker 1: we can get to the healing. Over the next hour,
Speaker 1: we will honestly discuss what occurred and explore some of
Speaker 1: our feelings, and will also show you how anyone can
Speaker 1: become more comfortable with discussing important issues and having difficult conversations.
Speaker 1: And by the end of the hour, we want everyone
Speaker 1: to feel empowered and ready to move forward. All right.
Speaker 1: Shary Underwood also talked about the whole thing with the
Speaker 1: angry black woman. She didn't want to be that and
Speaker 1: says she decided not to come back or what she fired.
Speaker 1: It's hard to say. Some people are saying that she
Speaker 1: chose not to come back. Some people are saying that
Speaker 1: they told her, they allowed her to say that, you know,
Speaker 1: to save face. I don't know personally, but there's two
Speaker 1: different stories going around now. According to Shary Underwood, she
Speaker 1: didn't want to be the angry black woman, but she
Speaker 1: also can't even watch that episode, I saw a composed, clear,
Speaker 1: confident woman. But what we didn't see what was going
Speaker 1: on inside. Well. I didn't want to escalate things with
Speaker 1: Sharon because I thought I was having a conversation of
Speaker 1: the friend. But also I knew I had to be
Speaker 1: an example for others to follow because I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be perceived as the angry black woman. And that
Speaker 1: really scared me. And it's difficult to go back to
Speaker 1: that day because I just feel the trauma. I feel fearful,
Speaker 1: you know, a little apprehensive. I love this discussion Charlemagne
Speaker 1: and God talking. I would like to know where has
Speaker 1: not being the angry black woman, an angry black person
Speaker 1: got us. Why are we always compromising ourselves for our presses?
Speaker 1: Why why can Sharon Osborne catch an attitude, come off
Speaker 1: as angry and it's all good, But a black person
Speaker 1: who has the right to be angry has to temper herself.
Speaker 1: My therapist that has feel your feels okay? In black people,
Speaker 1: women and men, we have every right to be angry
Speaker 1: and every right to express that anger, because if you
Speaker 1: are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say
Speaker 1: you enjoyed it. Zora Neil Hurston, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, there's always this whole thing about being the
Speaker 1: angry black woman as energy sp up for yourself. You're angry.
Speaker 1: As soon as you show some type of emotion or
Speaker 1: passionate about something, you're the angry black woman. And then
Speaker 1: there's that people don't take it seriously. And I'll say it,
Speaker 1: and so I think, and so I think for Sharyl Underwood,
Speaker 1: and it's something that black women have had to deal
Speaker 1: with forever now, and that's not wanting to be out
Speaker 1: of control of your emotions. And I asked the question
Speaker 1: once again, where has not being the angry black woman,
Speaker 1: an angry black person got us? Not coming off angry
Speaker 1: has gotten us nowhere? Yes we're angry, Yes we pissed off,
Speaker 1: Yes we're flipping over tables. Enough is enough. The time
Speaker 1: for playing small has been over, and it's gotten us nowhere.
Speaker 1: Raise hell, get angry. And you know, if you're not angry,
Speaker 1: and you're clearly not paying attention to what's going on
Speaker 1: in this country. And I think she also felt like
Speaker 1: Sharon was her friend, and that was one of the
Speaker 1: things too between the two of them. I'm sure that
Speaker 1: also affected her as well. And they're on TV, so
Speaker 1: you know. And they also have said, by the way,
Speaker 1: that Sharon is going to talk when she's ready. According
Speaker 1: to an insider, she wants to give herself out of
Speaker 1: the story. Still, I thought she had already done that.
Speaker 1: Word what was the whole thing with Kevin Frakes. You
Speaker 1: gotta laugh at the absurdity of all of this to be,
Speaker 1: you really do how many? How many sides did she get?
Speaker 1: Sharon Osborne never issu de private apology, but Sharon Osborne
Speaker 1: then showed some screenshots that showed text to Sharon Underwood
Speaker 1: that went on answer to and Shary Underwood did confirm
Speaker 1: that Sharon Osborne did text her, but she didn't answer
Speaker 1: because she didn't know if she was allowed to give
Speaker 1: in the internal investigation taking place. I saw Sharon Osborne
Speaker 1: tweet out yesterday a video of a bear rubbing his
Speaker 1: back against the pole while Genuine Pony was playing. She's
Speaker 1: so unbothered, so unbothered. That's why I just saw the
Speaker 1: post started on shade room or something. That's why you
Speaker 1: gotta be like eton people. There's nothing wrong with being angry.
Speaker 1: You have every single right to be angry, and don't
Speaker 1: let nobody tell you different with you God damn right,
Speaker 1: all right? Now, The Weekend sold his house for nineteen
Speaker 1: point three million dollars. It was his Hidden Hills home.
Speaker 1: He had originally listed the house last June for twenty
Speaker 1: five million, but then he did a price cut nineteen
Speaker 1: point three million dollars. The person who bought the house
Speaker 1: is Madonna. So Madonna has bought The Weekend's old house. Now,
Speaker 1: initially he bought this house in twenty seventeen for eighteen
Speaker 1: point two million. He made one point one million on
Speaker 1: it unless he did some renovations. Did you just say
Speaker 1: a little one point one a little one point one?
Speaker 1: He made one point one million, not much, one point
Speaker 1: one million dollars. Do you know fifty percent of America
Speaker 1: doesn't have two hundred and fifty dollars to spare, And
Speaker 1: you said a little one point one million dollars, Well,
Speaker 1: here's another little bit of money for you. They're saying
Speaker 1: NAS couldn't at one hundred million dollars when coin based
Speaker 1: lists on NASDAC, when that cryptocurrency exchange, they said that's
Speaker 1: expected to reach over a one hundred billion dollars in
Speaker 1: valuation when they start list their stock on Wednesday dropping
Speaker 1: a Colos bomb from Nazi Jones shot. But you can't
Speaker 1: even spell nasdac without NAS at this point in life. Okay,
Speaker 1: how many times HASNA has been a part of you deal?
Speaker 1: It's like it's third or fourth deal. But you can't
Speaker 1: even spell nash back without Nas at this point, I
Speaker 1: think how you spellings? Yes? Right? Yeah, yeah, okay, alright,
Speaker 1: So yes, it looks like they've been making some really
Speaker 1: smart investments. His investment firms Queen's Bridge Venture Partners, and
Speaker 1: they got into coin base back in twenty thirteen when
Speaker 1: it raised twenty five million dollars. Around that time, it
Speaker 1: was valued at about one hundred and forty three million dollars.
Speaker 1: So Queen's Bridge, like I said, is the name of
Speaker 1: his firm. They also wear a backer of Robin Hood
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen and then later on Lift and Drop
Speaker 1: drop Box too. Nay Nas took it to heart when
Speaker 1: jay Z said, smartened up Nash. Okay, he sure did
Speaker 1: show y'all something. All right, Well that is your rumor reports,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, missy, and joining all that money
Speaker 1: with the great hairline. NA still has at forty four
Speaker 1: years old. That's a great feat. I think NA is
Speaker 1: older than forty four, but yeah, it's amazing either. Heyline's
Speaker 1: incredible heater. All right, now, we got from page news
Speaker 1: coming up. Yes, and let's talk about this Johnson and
Speaker 1: Johnson COVID nineteen vaccine. Apparently there are some serious concerns
Speaker 1: and we'll tell you what those are. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get to it nextus to Breakfast Club. Good morning, So
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Angela

Speaker 1: money for nearly sixty years. They offer the quality coverage
Speaker 1: you deserve at prices you can afford. Make the right
Speaker 1: call and go with the General. Call eight hundred General
Speaker 1: or visit the General dot com. Some restrictions apply. I
Speaker 1: got what you need, freaking baby, I'm gonna rebody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela yee Charlomagne the guy we are to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news when
Speaker 1: we starting you. Well, there's some issues with this Johnson
Speaker 1: and Johnson vaccine. They says there's been four serious cases
Speaker 1: of unusual blood clots reported after people got that vaccine.
Speaker 1: According to European health authorities said. They said they are
Speaker 1: still investigating these cases and that is currently not clear
Speaker 1: whether there's a casual association between the vaccine and the clots,
Speaker 1: but the CDC and the FDA are taking reports of
Speaker 1: these blood clots very seriously. I thought they recalled the
Speaker 1: Johnson and Johnson vaccine a couple of weeks ago. Apparently not,
Speaker 1: they're still using them. I think they did recall them
Speaker 1: in some places, but there was a bad batch I think.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing my parents. My dad
Speaker 1: called me the other day, was like, if the kids
Speaker 1: could take the vaccine, do not do Johnson and Johnson
Speaker 1: and just hung a boar. They said, all right, Dad, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but people are just taking whatever's available too. And some
Speaker 1: people really want to take the Johnson and Johnson because
Speaker 1: it's only one shot. Like I know my dad was
Speaker 1: saying that's the one he wanted to take because it's
Speaker 1: just one. But you know, again, different information every day, right,
Speaker 1: all right, Another unfortunate shooting, another tragedy. One student is
Speaker 1: dead and a police officer was wounded after a shooting
Speaker 1: at a high school in Knoxville, tennis See. Officers responded
Speaker 1: to reports of a potentially armed individual. This was at
Speaker 1: Austin East Magnet Heights School and this happened yesterday around
Speaker 1: three fifteen. They did find the individual in the school's restroom.
Speaker 1: They ordered him out, he refused, and after he fired shots,
Speaker 1: at least one officer returned fire. The gunman, who was
Speaker 1: identified as a student at that school, did die at
Speaker 1: the team. They have not released his name at this time.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, America, am r I KKKA the only
Speaker 1: show in the world that has new reruns. It's a
Speaker 1: new rerun. You can't even keep up. You could just
Speaker 1: pick your anxiety at this point, like you just spend
Speaker 1: a wheel what you want today. You want a school
Speaker 1: shooting because you got kids that go to school. Pick that.
Speaker 1: You want another traumatic police brutality incident, picked that, Like
Speaker 1: you could just pick your trauma at this point in America,
Speaker 1: it's so damn saman all right. And in the case
Speaker 1: of Dante, right right now, Joe Biden is calling for
Speaker 1: peace and calm in the wake of Dante writes fatal
Speaker 1: encounter with police in Minnesota. According to Joe Biden, he
Speaker 1: is seeing his death does not justify violence or looting.
Speaker 1: Was it an accident intentional that remained to be determined
Speaker 1: by a full lawn investigation. But in the meantime, I
Speaker 1: want to make it clear again there's absolutely no justification
Speaker 1: for looting, no justification for violence. Peaceful protests understand them,
Speaker 1: but we do know that the anger, pain and trauma
Speaker 1: the resisting the black community in that environment is real.
Speaker 1: It's serious, and it's consequential. Why is it always strong
Speaker 1: the language and rhetoric towards people, you know, so called
Speaker 1: looting and damaging buildings than it is the actual state
Speaker 1: sanctioned violence against black people. Shouldn't it be? You know,
Speaker 1: the unjust murders of black people are not justifiable. That
Speaker 1: violence is not justifiable. As opposed to him damn buildings.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that seems like they can't about them, damn
Speaker 1: buildings and black people all the time. Joe Biden tweeted
Speaker 1: out today, I'm thinking about Dante Right and his family
Speaker 1: and the pain, anger, and trauma that Black America experiences
Speaker 1: every day. But we're away the full investigation. We know
Speaker 1: what we need to do to move forward, rebuild trust
Speaker 1: and ensuring accountability so no one is above the law. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll pass to George Floyd Policing Act. How do we
Speaker 1: make that happen? Okay, that's what you campaign You campaigned
Speaker 1: on that. Vice President Harris campaigned on that. Where is
Speaker 1: the George Floyd Policing Act? Huh passing on the federal level.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of these things have to happen
Speaker 1: through the state, really, but your beliefs passed that on
Speaker 1: a federal level. All right, well that is your front
Speaker 1: page news. All right, all right, now when we come back,
Speaker 1: gospel singer actress Kiah joining us, and now author Kiera
Speaker 1: Shared will be joining us. She played her mama, one
Speaker 1: of the Clark's sisters in the Lifetime movie She Sure did.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to in a minute. A book out, Big,
Speaker 1: bold and Beautiful, owning the woman God made you to be.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to a next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we all to Breakfast Club. We had a
Speaker 1: special guest joining us this morning. Here Shared Kelly Morning,
Speaker 1: good morning, good morning. The author of the new book
Speaker 1: A big, bold and beautiful, Yes beautiful, that's yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: first book. What made you want to write? A book. Well,
Speaker 1: actually it was unintentional. So I had been writing and
Speaker 1: just kind of journaling as a form of therapy. And
Speaker 1: this is how I came about. I was looking at
Speaker 1: the email account that I hadn't been checking. You know
Speaker 1: how you just kind of say, oh, this email account
Speaker 1: gonna be for like spam or whatever. And I looked
Speaker 1: in there something told me. I'm a church girl, so
Speaker 1: you know how the old things be, like the Holy
Speaker 1: Ghost told you, wasn't something that tells you. I went
Speaker 1: and checked and they were offering me a book opportunity,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, well, let me just gather
Speaker 1: my journaling. And that's how the book came about. Wow,
Speaker 1: you do all this during the pandemic when it was
Speaker 1: nothing to do, when you could sit at home, take
Speaker 1: your time go through your journal and right, so no,
Speaker 1: I have been journaling from like eighteen till now. So
Speaker 1: literally it's like me putting my life story and everything
Speaker 1: that I've gone through in the book. Um. And then
Speaker 1: I just had like some little studies from like Bible study,
Speaker 1: and I just threw it in there. Um. So it's unintentional.
Speaker 1: It's really a divine moment. And like I said, it
Speaker 1: was therapeutic for me, and I didn't know I had
Speaker 1: a book in me, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So what is what you said? Eighteen? And now I
Speaker 1: was like, two, thank you, I'm still young. I'm thirty three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a journey. Well, I started reading the book
Speaker 1: and I have to tell you, I really appreciated how
Speaker 1: honest and frank you were about a lot of things
Speaker 1: in your life and decisions that you made, and how
Speaker 1: rebellious you were. So I did um want it discussed
Speaker 1: some of the things that you talked about. One thing
Speaker 1: you said, make better decisions with the people you allow
Speaker 1: into your life. If we trained our bodies to consume
Speaker 1: expired milk or foods, it will respond negatively the first time,
Speaker 1: but if we continue, we'll become immune to the poisons.
Speaker 1: And then you talk about just basically tolerating expired relationships,
Speaker 1: and I feel like sometimes we want to feel so
Speaker 1: loyal to people and just keep it going when sometimes
Speaker 1: things just aren't meant to be and we're only poisoning ourselves. Right,
Speaker 1: So can you talk about yourself and those experiences? Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: I just kind of had to step aside, even from
Speaker 1: just me wanting to connect with people who I felt
Speaker 1: like I could relate to, but I was relating with
Speaker 1: them when it came to my weaknesses and not my
Speaker 1: streamside was building relationships off of the challenges that I had,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't relationships that will cause like healthy development.
Speaker 1: And in addition to that, I'm a creator, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure a lot of creators can attest to the fact
Speaker 1: that we kind of move off of vibes like what
Speaker 1: I feel, and I didn't always have people around me
Speaker 1: who were like wanting to see me when if that
Speaker 1: makes sense. But I'm not planning the victim either, because
Speaker 1: there were some issues that I had to deal with
Speaker 1: in myself, but I just had to make better decisions
Speaker 1: and I understood that self care way isn't just you know,
Speaker 1: the bath with the candles. It's like, definitely about the
Speaker 1: village you have. So I've been say the village is
Speaker 1: not just for the child, is for the adult too,
Speaker 1: And I felt most liberated when I had people that
Speaker 1: weren't just telling me yes, but telling me no, you
Speaker 1: got you gotta put that down, you know. So it
Speaker 1: definitely has contributed to my mental stability with me being
Speaker 1: a big girl, having someone to tell me, Hey, you
Speaker 1: can embrace your big but still be healthy, you know.
Speaker 1: And I'm like I said, I'm a woman of faith.
Speaker 1: So the word teaches me that a food despises correction,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be a fool through rife.
Speaker 1: So it just challenged me to be a student at hard.
Speaker 1: For sure, I feel like we didn't do you know,
Speaker 1: justice when it comes to introducing you know, your mom
Speaker 1: is a Karen Clark right from the legendary gospel group
Speaker 1: the Clark Sisters. Yes, how was that growing up in
Speaker 1: that household? It was good pressure, good challenge, good accountability.
Speaker 1: At this point, it's exciting to see that I have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to say that we're inspiring each other, which
Speaker 1: inspires me more to be a student, like I was
Speaker 1: saying at heart, not thinking that, oh, you've a ride
Speaker 1: and you just But also it challenged me to work
Speaker 1: hard because you know a lot of people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: she probably think she's gonna come into game and think
Speaker 1: that everything's gonna be handed to her. But no, I work.
Speaker 1: I work, and I'm thankful too, so I come in
Speaker 1: with a grateful heart as well. I did the movie
Speaker 1: and trying to sing like my mom I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: this lady is an alien. She's a monster, because I
Speaker 1: literally was getting like lightheaded trying to hit her notes.
Speaker 1: So it definitely was like her sonning me, but not
Speaker 1: her being there saying no, you're still a kid, so
Speaker 1: sit back and chill out. But it's really special, and
Speaker 1: I counted a blessing. For sure. You have to audition
Speaker 1: for that role or that like one of those non
Speaker 1: negotiable this is nepotism, we're gonna make it happen. No,
Speaker 1: I had to audition. I had to put the work in,
Speaker 1: and honestly, at first I wasn't sure that I wanted
Speaker 1: it because of so many other reasons, but yeah, for
Speaker 1: sure I did had to audition. Well, good job because
Speaker 1: that movie broke all kinds of records and it did
Speaker 1: great numbers, so clearly people really loved your portrayal of
Speaker 1: your mother. Thank you. Any pressure to get into music
Speaker 1: because your mom was a music so heavy was one
Speaker 1: of those things like no, girl, you're getting into music,
Speaker 1: you can say, or was it like nah, I think
Speaker 1: what I was able to do. I can definitely say
Speaker 1: I was able to do what I wanted. Of course,
Speaker 1: my parents, which I respect because there are moments when
Speaker 1: I was young and I didn't really have the idea
Speaker 1: of what the future could be. So I was just
Speaker 1: saying no from an immature place. But thank god, my
Speaker 1: parents were like, hey, go to school, get your education,
Speaker 1: but also have this musical side of you and see
Speaker 1: what it will do for you. So it wasn't like
Speaker 1: an unhealthy pressure because they did allow me to be
Speaker 1: the nail tech once upon the time that I wanted
Speaker 1: to be, or install wigs. I'm really good at wigs,
Speaker 1: so at one point I thought I was going to
Speaker 1: be in the cosmetology field, and now here I am
Speaker 1: because I've listened to my parents in their grooming. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't an unhealthy pressure. You you know, in chapter three,
Speaker 1: chapter that you was talking about, you talk about having
Speaker 1: to leave people behind, right, Like, how important is finding
Speaker 1: your tribe because, like you said, we talk about a
Speaker 1: village raising a child, but when you becoming an adult,
Speaker 1: you're still grown, you're still evolving. If people on on
Speaker 1: that level with you, you know you gotta leave them behind.
Speaker 1: But how important it define your truck. It's so important
Speaker 1: because again, as a woman of faith, you got scriptures
Speaker 1: that say iron sharpens iron and I was just having
Speaker 1: a conversation with a friend, and it's possible that a
Speaker 1: friend can sharpen what's bad in you, you know, And
Speaker 1: I think too, if you're not careful, it has everything
Speaker 1: with your sanity, you can make choices. If you don't
Speaker 1: have people around you, I say, that's not good for you.
Speaker 1: I think we all have seen, even some of our
Speaker 1: favorite inspirations, it's like, I just wish they had somebody
Speaker 1: else around them to kind of save them from going
Speaker 1: down that path. So it means a lot to me.
Speaker 1: It speaks to my spirituality. It speaks too, and I
Speaker 1: can say that even my business relationships are not just business.
Speaker 1: It's like it goes deeper, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I even talk about in the book the difference
Speaker 1: between draining relationships versus fountain like relationships. And I came
Speaker 1: up with that because you can be sitting in a
Speaker 1: relationship where even just having a conversation leaving it not
Speaker 1: having felt safe, you'll feel drained. You'll feel exasperated, and
Speaker 1: it's like, where, all of a sudden did this tire
Speaker 1: come from? And it's like, because you're sitting at the
Speaker 1: table with the wrong people. So I just had to
Speaker 1: kind of overcome that. And then just even in the book,
Speaker 1: I talked about some relationships that I delve into that
Speaker 1: just weren't good for me, and I would you know,
Speaker 1: you have your mom your dad tell you that ain't
Speaker 1: that ain't the situation you need to be in, and
Speaker 1: you'll pick up habits and then you'll take that baggage
Speaker 1: to the promised place that you're supposed to be in,
Speaker 1: and you'll then feel like, you know what, I'm inadequate
Speaker 1: to be here because you were once upon a time
Speaker 1: in this dysfunctional place that you were never supposed to
Speaker 1: be in, and so then it just becomes a blame game.
Speaker 1: It then weighs you down and then you start speaking
Speaker 1: to yourself when it was just it was a poor
Speaker 1: choice previously, so now we got to go through a
Speaker 1: whole personal rehabilitation space, you know. So that's why it's
Speaker 1: so important to me. I'm really big on that. And
Speaker 1: then I believe in prayer. I believe in people praying
Speaker 1: for you when you can't get a prayer through, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's moments when I was just broken and I
Speaker 1: just didn't know what to say to God. But I
Speaker 1: have friends. That was like, no, we about I'm about
Speaker 1: to hold you were about the whole hands and we're
Speaker 1: about to go before the Lord. So that's why finding
Speaker 1: my tribe, that tribe is so important for me. That's
Speaker 1: what it called the soul tribe. You gotta have your
Speaker 1: soul tribe. Yeah, absolutely, we have more with Kiera ship
Speaker 1: when we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club,
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is stj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne
Speaker 1: the guy we are the breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Kiera, shared gospel singing and author yee. What
Speaker 1: Another thing I thought was important as a message for
Speaker 1: women is that you don't have to put your life
Speaker 1: on hold waiting for a boyfriend or a husband to
Speaker 1: do things and to do those things when that person
Speaker 1: comes along. Can you expand on that as well, because
Speaker 1: clearly now you're married, but you went through a lot
Speaker 1: of frogs before you got to your prince for sure,
Speaker 1: frauds um. But I kept waiting, like I have been
Speaker 1: blessed to work and go out of the country, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I gotta wait, you know, to go
Speaker 1: to pay with this significant other or I gotta wait
Speaker 1: to go to Dubai with this significant other. And after
Speaker 1: a while I was like, you know what, if I'm
Speaker 1: going that way, we're about to make some stops, especially
Speaker 1: because the trip it's cheaper. While I'm already over there,
Speaker 1: you know, so I'm about to wait for nobody else.
Speaker 1: And then in that space that I was in, I
Speaker 1: would have probably had to cover the expenses myself or whatever.
Speaker 1: So I think that it's so important because one thing
Speaker 1: that I did wrong was I made a boyfriend or
Speaker 1: I gave a boyfriend wife like tendencies, if that makes sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my father told me before Kiera, you have to understand
Speaker 1: that it's okay to date. And I think Steve Harvey
Speaker 1: wrote a book Think like a act like a lady,
Speaker 1: Think like a man. My Nanna gave me that book
Speaker 1: because they were all looking like, it's okay for you
Speaker 1: to play the game. You don't gotta be a whore,
Speaker 1: but you can play the game. And so he said,
Speaker 1: the rue word of dating is that I get the
Speaker 1: information you need and just play the game. So that's
Speaker 1: what I had to learn, rather than I thought I
Speaker 1: was entering into covenant with people that weren't giving me
Speaker 1: some thing promising for a lifetime, you know, it was
Speaker 1: just temporary. So those are the things that I had
Speaker 1: to adjust to say, you know what, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: my thing. I'm gonna live my life. I'm not waiting
Speaker 1: on nobody. If I get a trip to South Africa,
Speaker 1: I'm extending the trips, not trying to get home to
Speaker 1: a boyfriend as if he's my husband, you know, or
Speaker 1: worried about what he's gonna do. So those were the
Speaker 1: things that I had to learn. When it comes to
Speaker 1: that chapter successfully single, I wonder if all that stuff
Speaker 1: happens is naturally though, right, because it's like, you don't
Speaker 1: want to practice bad habits. So if you're in a
Speaker 1: relationship with somebody, I'm probably gonna do some husband like things,
Speaker 1: and you might do some wifelike things. That's how you
Speaker 1: determine whether or not you want to be a husband
Speaker 1: and wife with this person. For sure. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: think for me, I'll be honest, being in a relationship
Speaker 1: and doing wifelike things, it clouds your judgment because you're
Speaker 1: wanting marriage with that person and you're not seeing the
Speaker 1: red flags. I'll speak for myself. So it was a
Speaker 1: lot of red flags that I was ignoring because I
Speaker 1: wanted a certain thing. But if a man doesn't want
Speaker 1: it with you, or if even if somebody else doesn't
Speaker 1: want a long lasting relationship, and that could just be
Speaker 1: with friendships, it can't just be you. We know what
Speaker 1: it feels like to be one sided, you know. Um So,
Speaker 1: I think it's okay to dive in compromise, make sacrifices,
Speaker 1: but make sure you're making sacrifices for somebody that's gonna
Speaker 1: give it back in return. It could be sex in
Speaker 1: that clouded my judgment, you know. And I think too
Speaker 1: it speaks to I talked about in the book doing
Speaker 1: things God's way. I saw why I needed to do
Speaker 1: it his way because I was making decisions off of
Speaker 1: how he made me feel versus what it could have
Speaker 1: been in the future. So I was making a decision
Speaker 1: off of a temporary experience or just you know, how
Speaker 1: he laid me out. But it wasn't You ain't gonna
Speaker 1: be able to get me through when it comes to
Speaker 1: establishing life or establishing legacy. Um. And And another thing
Speaker 1: that I noticed is that I wasn't looking at the
Speaker 1: person that I was dating saying do I want my
Speaker 1: children to be like this person. It was more so
Speaker 1: this this feels good, you know, if it was great,
Speaker 1: So my emotions were wrapped up into a different place
Speaker 1: rather than actually making life decisions. What about living together?
Speaker 1: A lot of people will say, well, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get married until we live together. How do I
Speaker 1: know I even want to spend life with this person?
Speaker 1: You know, talk about why you think that's not a
Speaker 1: good idea. Yeah, so I will say that I was
Speaker 1: guilty of that for some time, you know, and even
Speaker 1: while saying, you know that I'm living this way, and
Speaker 1: I think there's a such thing like my husband has
Speaker 1: shown me that there's a way to spend time with
Speaker 1: each other and do it with boundaries. I think it's
Speaker 1: just knowing your boundaries. If you're saying you're gonna live
Speaker 1: like one thing like my husband really helped me. I
Speaker 1: thought I was living saved and living for the lord
Speaker 1: and to my husband came with a different standard. But
Speaker 1: he showed me that there is a such way to
Speaker 1: dive into a relationship, to go deeper and to get
Speaker 1: the depth of that person. But to respect your boundaries.
Speaker 1: Don't act like they're not there. You know, after a
Speaker 1: certain hours you get hot in your drawers. So step
Speaker 1: back and say, you know what, Okay, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: honest with myself. You know, I think I will say
Speaker 1: I've gotten into spaces where I just wasn't honest with myself,
Speaker 1: and then I would go and consult with everybody else
Speaker 1: about my life. So then I was living with the
Speaker 1: opinions of everyone else but my truth. And so I
Speaker 1: think that that is you can get to know somebody
Speaker 1: and you can spend time with them. Um. So I'll
Speaker 1: stop there because I don't want to say too much,
Speaker 1: but it's a way to do it. For sure. What
Speaker 1: did your parents your daddy say about you shocking up
Speaker 1: in particular? He disapproves of it. Um, disapproves of one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Not his thing. Yeah, that's what they about. Now.
Speaker 1: How you let Nick Cannon ill? Seen you? How do
Speaker 1: you say it again? Seen you? How did I let
Speaker 1: Nick Cannon? I'll sing? Um, Nick Cannon is incredible. So
Speaker 1: I just had to let him his thing. I was
Speaker 1: completely blown away at the fact that he could actually
Speaker 1: play in sing. First of all, I'm joking, I know, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just making sure she said I know, Yeah, I know, clearly.
Speaker 1: But it was special. It was fun. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I thought only to Nick was acting um and to
Speaker 1: see that we kind of come from similar backgrounds, it
Speaker 1: was really inspirational. I heard he asked the rapper on
Speaker 1: the record, and you told him, no, no, that is
Speaker 1: none of that ain't true. Told him that his raps
Speaker 1: ain't nothing but the devil. Is that true? It's true.
Speaker 1: I support Nick Cannon, that's my man. How did the
Speaker 1: collaboration coming about? Like? What was that about? Um? Nick
Speaker 1: reached out and that was it. It was simple, and
Speaker 1: I came running like for sure, I want to do it, um,
Speaker 1: and that it was that easy. All right, Well, don't movie.
Speaker 1: We have more with Kiera shit when we come back.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with Kiera shared gospel sing
Speaker 1: it in the author Charlomag, You know, I meant that
Speaker 1: as Bishop Jake's this and Sarah Robbins this last week.
Speaker 1: But do you think that people realizing that the Bible
Speaker 1: wasn't was written by like people that were oppressing us?
Speaker 1: Do you think that's one of the reasons people are
Speaker 1: getting turned off from the from the Bible. Ask that
Speaker 1: question on my time please, people. You think people are
Speaker 1: getting turned off from the Bible because they know that
Speaker 1: the oppressors actually wrote those scriptures, because it's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff in the Bible that's oppressor right, like you know, homosexuality,
Speaker 1: things in regard to raise the portrayal of women. So
Speaker 1: you think that's one of the reasons people are getting
Speaker 1: turned off from the Bible. I think it could be.
Speaker 1: I'm all into information and being knowledgeable. I wonder if
Speaker 1: our generation are too grown for their own good, if
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So that's all I can say there,
Speaker 1: But if it's inspired by God, I'm a believer and
Speaker 1: I've seen God's word really liberate me and bring me answer,
Speaker 1: so I can only speak from that space. But I
Speaker 1: do think that there are some peers of mind who
Speaker 1: just dive into stuff that they don't even understand, but
Speaker 1: try to use it to their advantage, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Got And and to add to that being too grown
Speaker 1: for your own good. The Word even says, and I
Speaker 1: found it to be true, that in order to enter
Speaker 1: into the Kingdom, you have to take on the heart
Speaker 1: of a child, innocence pure, you know, seeking the opportunity
Speaker 1: to see the light. And I think that because we
Speaker 1: consume so much dark, whether it's through our music, through
Speaker 1: what we see in our timeline, it can kind of
Speaker 1: give you a blur when you actually have the truth
Speaker 1: right there at hand. You know, the truth can come
Speaker 1: from a liar, but that doesn't because it's coming from
Speaker 1: a liar, that doesn't mean that it's not the truth
Speaker 1: that's right. So I would say that's my answer. No,
Speaker 1: that makes perfect sense. That's I can look at that
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. That's what I always said
Speaker 1: about you know, somebody like DMX like that brother was
Speaker 1: annoying it. Yes, but you would not recognize God in
Speaker 1: him if you're busy looking, uh, looking for God in
Speaker 1: places you believe God should be and people you think
Speaker 1: God should be. Absolutely, I think it was a prayer.
Speaker 1: I think I saw like ditty and I think it
Speaker 1: was like a read something. It was a concept, yes,
Speaker 1: And they were in the back praying, and I actually
Speaker 1: felt the spirit of God while TMX was praying. So
Speaker 1: I agree with you one, and I think that there's
Speaker 1: a possibility that so many of us may have an
Speaker 1: anointing and we just may be completely oblivious of it,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. And because like we were talking
Speaker 1: about the squad go or the tribe, if you don't
Speaker 1: have people to tell you you're anointed, and it's just
Speaker 1: certain things you can't do, you know, are as certain
Speaker 1: places you can't sit in. Um, because the anointing is
Speaker 1: something we can't see. So it has everything to do
Speaker 1: with spirituality. So we got to be with our a
Speaker 1: game on understanding that the adversary is out there to
Speaker 1: get you to destroy you. UM. So I think I
Speaker 1: agree with you. Now, let's talk about the metamorphosis of
Speaker 1: relationships for you. How does celibacy contribute to you being
Speaker 1: able to find the right person? Can you talk about that?
Speaker 1: Because a lot of times our vision is getting clouded
Speaker 1: by other things when we're trying to be in a relationship. UM,
Speaker 1: it means everything to me. So I'll speak to my
Speaker 1: husband and I. UM. Of course, we made some mistakes,
Speaker 1: but once we got for real and we said, okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna stick to this. Talking about the boundary that
Speaker 1: I was telling you about earlier, my husband was I
Speaker 1: wanted to jump his bones. I wanted to I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest and I'm sure some people were like you,
Speaker 1: but it's my truth. But I can say that I
Speaker 1: saw God change my life through him loving my soul
Speaker 1: and my spirit more than just my body. So I
Speaker 1: saw my husband say I care about your soul. I
Speaker 1: care about you know when you're out there saying that
Speaker 1: this is your truth, but you come back and you
Speaker 1: live another way. He wanted to contribute to me in
Speaker 1: a totally different way than just making me feel good.
Speaker 1: And then it also allowed me to be stable mentally.
Speaker 1: So celibacy definitely contributed to a pure relationship. It allows
Speaker 1: us to develop our communication skills, our way of understanding,
Speaker 1: understanding too, a different perspective and knowing that when you
Speaker 1: come together, it's not just some two individuals come together,
Speaker 1: but you're bringing their life, like everything that they've gone through.
Speaker 1: You're bringing all of that together, and so how are
Speaker 1: you going to build a home. So for me, celibacy
Speaker 1: contributed to that. It even contributed to our prayer life.
Speaker 1: So now I mean I can say I'm seeing things
Speaker 1: in the future because of the prayer life that I've
Speaker 1: been able to have with my husband, and now I'm
Speaker 1: able to respect him differently when he gives me. You
Speaker 1: know a note, I can listen better because I can
Speaker 1: trust your judgment. And then I'm not calling Chase and
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, you know, what's going on because
Speaker 1: I felt like, because you're honest with me, and because
Speaker 1: you show that you can keep yourself together with me,
Speaker 1: because I I'll stop there. I gotta be careful what
Speaker 1: I gotta because you showed me that you can keep
Speaker 1: it together. I trust that you can keep it together
Speaker 1: when my eyes aren't on you. So celibacy has contributed
Speaker 1: to in so many ways. And I really can say
Speaker 1: that I've done it the complete opposite of what God
Speaker 1: said to do. And then with my husband, I've done
Speaker 1: it his way and I've seen it just changed my life.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to start crying, but yeah, that's what you mean. Together.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I gotta tell my boyfriend we're gonna switch
Speaker 1: back to celibacy. How he reacts? What do you mean
Speaker 1: when you said you had to keep it keep or
Speaker 1: he showed you that he could keep it together, but
Speaker 1: you try to set him up. You had like a
Speaker 1: girl try to hollow him or no no no no
Speaker 1: for her? Yes with me, like my husband is very attractive.
Speaker 1: I love him, and I love um. I think for
Speaker 1: me the faith piece and his integrity, so it makes
Speaker 1: me want to jump on him more. Um and to
Speaker 1: see that he's so unimpressionable. So that's what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like he could give it together, he could control the room,
Speaker 1: he could tell me no and and and he just
Speaker 1: had it got it. What is marriage though, like when
Speaker 1: we're talking about because this is like back in the day,
Speaker 1: there was no such thing as marriage. So if you
Speaker 1: had that attraction towards that man and he had it
Speaker 1: towards you, when y'all had a bond, yeah, y'all could
Speaker 1: jump each other's bones, Like what is matter? Like? What
Speaker 1: is it just a ceremony? Like you really think you're
Speaker 1: going to hell because you had a little premarital sex.
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's just you're going to hell
Speaker 1: because you had a little premarital sex. But I do
Speaker 1: believe it's a part of the principles of living out
Speaker 1: the blessing or the blessed life. And even again, I
Speaker 1: think you know how our parents used to tell us,
Speaker 1: don't do that or else this is gonna happen. I
Speaker 1: feel like the relationship with God is it's um. How
Speaker 1: can I say this, I'll just say it's important to
Speaker 1: live the way he's saying and trust what he's saying
Speaker 1: because it contributes to the future that you don't see.
Speaker 1: It contributes to the days that you don't see. So
Speaker 1: for me, it's get what you're saying, and I get
Speaker 1: the concern that maybe others have, but I would. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that answers the question Charlotte Magne, But well,
Speaker 1: how can we beat ourselves up over like the whole
Speaker 1: sex pre marital sex thing in the Bible, but not
Speaker 1: over something like pork because you tell us not deep pork,
Speaker 1: our shellfish. Yeah, and tell us not dat shellfish. We
Speaker 1: can just pray over that and everything's cool. Why why
Speaker 1: do we do that ourselves? I think it's because we
Speaker 1: accept the tradition in not diving into the relationship. So
Speaker 1: for me, this once upon a time was just religion
Speaker 1: and just a learned behavior until I began to read
Speaker 1: and learn. You know, like I can go into a
Speaker 1: classroom and take everything that the students and the teachers
Speaker 1: are talking about, but I can come out with a
Speaker 1: completely different, different understanding until I actually read the textbook.
Speaker 1: So for me, it's almost like being in a relationship.
Speaker 1: You don't know me if you only took me out
Speaker 1: or treated me as a one night stand. You know
Speaker 1: me when you date me and you take time with me.
Speaker 1: So I think that that is it's a lack of time,
Speaker 1: you know, with learning about the faith, rather than just
Speaker 1: listening to people saying don't touch the stove because it's hot. No,
Speaker 1: if you go close enough to the stove, you feel
Speaker 1: that there's a heat that your skin can't take, rather
Speaker 1: than just saying oh. And I think that it even
Speaker 1: speaks to the generations that we've come from, where it's
Speaker 1: like one generation did things just because somebody told them
Speaker 1: not to. But I think we are becoming a generation
Speaker 1: where we're diving into it. So I think it's just
Speaker 1: a matter of learning and understanding. I would say, do
Speaker 1: you eat pork. I don't eat pork as much as
Speaker 1: I do now that I understand it. Oh, So at
Speaker 1: the time, you didn't understand the scripture when it says,
Speaker 1: think with Deuteronomy fourteen eight, don't do not eat pork,
Speaker 1: don't even touch the flesh of a dead pain. You
Speaker 1: didn't understand this. I didn't. I thought that it was
Speaker 1: just an old practice like before I was just reading
Speaker 1: the Bible, like, okay, that was just days story. I
Speaker 1: didn't want it. I didn't want to body tell me
Speaker 1: put down no baking. Yeah. Absolutely, So even to that though,
Speaker 1: I am working on my temple. So I'll go back
Speaker 1: and forth. I'll do like a vegan diet. I'll be
Speaker 1: a vegetarian one week and then next year I'm a pscytarian,
Speaker 1: and then one week I'm just saying, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: eat meat, but I eat fish and bacon, you know.
Speaker 1: So yes, it's like which one is it? So, um,
Speaker 1: I think it's a matter of learning, evolving understanding, because um,
Speaker 1: there's a scripture where Jesus said I didn't come to
Speaker 1: do away with the lab but I came to fulfill it.
Speaker 1: So I think for me, I'm still trying to understand
Speaker 1: that part, like, well, did you give me the opportunity
Speaker 1: to still be able to eat baking or is that
Speaker 1: just you know what I'm saying. So it's all just
Speaker 1: figuring it out. I'm just using that because those are
Speaker 1: the things in the Bible that did tell us not
Speaker 1: to do. Those are the things that we do on
Speaker 1: the on the regular, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 1: scramps man, it's special. But the other thing is UM.
Speaker 1: You asked about why do we um focus on the
Speaker 1: sex out of wedlock versus the pork? I think too,
Speaker 1: it has everything to do with um condemnation versus conviction.
Speaker 1: People who have a relation and ship with God. They're
Speaker 1: not just pointing at the problem and not giving you
Speaker 1: a solution. And I feel like condemnation causes you to
Speaker 1: beat up on yourself, whereas conviction from the Holy Spirit
Speaker 1: has you to just deal with it differently. If that
Speaker 1: makes that makes perfect? Well, can we get into a
Speaker 1: song before we get up out of here? You want
Speaker 1: to introduce a song. Let's let the world hearing a
Speaker 1: song if they haven't heard any of your music. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course we can play this song we just talked about. Grace. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: all right, Well let's get into Grace and we appreciate
Speaker 1: you for joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning,
Speaker 1: everybody is kJ envy? That was well, that was Kara shared. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a thank you called Grace. Right, Yes, it's
Speaker 1: called Grace. She has a book out called Big, Bold
Speaker 1: and Beautiful, Owning the woman God made you to be.
Speaker 1: Thank you care for joining us? This morning, pleasant conversation.
Speaker 1: It was absolutely let's get to the rumas. Let's talk
Speaker 1: d MX. Listen, oh got breakfast club? All right. DMX's
Speaker 1: family is warning people they are not strapped for cash
Speaker 1: and they are not asking for the public to chip
Speaker 1: in for a funeral expenses. If you see anything online
Speaker 1: saying otherwise, it is not true. There's been a lot
Speaker 1: of rumors going around, a lot of people trying to benefit,
Speaker 1: but just so you know, nobody is raising money to
Speaker 1: help pay for everything. So if you see any of
Speaker 1: those campaigns, do not donate money. They are completely bogus.
Speaker 1: They're not connected to the family at all. There's also
Speaker 1: been rumors that Jay Z and Beyonce bought DMX's masters
Speaker 1: for ten million dollars. That's not true either. Listen, first
Speaker 1: of all, if you think rough riders and Swiss beats
Speaker 1: and deaf jam, not at all of them here. If
Speaker 1: you think they're not about to send DMX off like
Speaker 1: the King to God, he was y'all out of y'all
Speaker 1: damn mind. You think DMX need money for a funeral,
Speaker 1: knock it off. Yeah, no, it's it's it's what their
Speaker 1: plan is gonna be amazing It's just gonna be huge
Speaker 1: come moment for the disgusting people that are starting these
Speaker 1: fake accounts and trying to benefit off of that. Disgusting.
Speaker 1: But I know people might be looking and see things
Speaker 1: and think they're doing something positive by giving money for it,
Speaker 1: but no, it's not real. Right all right now, I
Speaker 1: told you guys, I did this sit down interview with
Speaker 1: Quando Rondo. We were actually in New Orleans when we
Speaker 1: did this, and some of the things that he talked about,
Speaker 1: and this is just part, a small part. We actually
Speaker 1: talked for like a couple of hours. But one of
Speaker 1: the things that he talked about was, of course the
Speaker 1: night of November sixth, that's the night that King Von
Speaker 1: was shot and killed, the tragic night that that happened,
Speaker 1: and Kwando Rondo was giving his side of the story,
Speaker 1: which he has not done previously. He says that he
Speaker 1: believed that he had a good relationship with Dirk. You know,
Speaker 1: they had songs together. He thought they were cool. He
Speaker 1: didn't even know there were any issues with Little Dirk
Speaker 1: and King Vaughan. Here's what he said. People be saying,
Speaker 1: like people chase a clown and stof how man like
Speaker 1: rich I got three follow was like, for my understanding, ma'am.
Speaker 1: It was a love really it was. I had a
Speaker 1: relationship with Big brou not I want to say his name,
Speaker 1: not you feel me on my album. Dude never charged
Speaker 1: me for a feature, no one. He could have liked,
Speaker 1: Big bro legend all right. He was talking about Little
Speaker 1: Dirk there because Little Dirk was on his album and
Speaker 1: he didn't know that there was any any problems with him. Now,
Speaker 1: Krnda Ronda also talks about the night and all the
Speaker 1: incidents that led up to him even being in the
Speaker 1: parking lot that night. You know, he had filmed the
Speaker 1: video that day. There's a lot more behind the story
Speaker 1: of what he was doing before he got to that
Speaker 1: parking lot. But he was not trying to go out.
Speaker 1: His friends actually went in the club and he stayed
Speaker 1: outside in the car. He wanted to just go to
Speaker 1: sleep in the car, and Little Tim, his boy, was
Speaker 1: staying outside with him because he didn't want him to
Speaker 1: stay by himself. Now here's what he said happened. I
Speaker 1: tell my brother, I say I'm not going in the club.
Speaker 1: That's a little break going ate fre you a little
Speaker 1: female or whatever, because I'm like, you got fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: because and I'm depping. We were we were about to
Speaker 1: go to the house. My brother said, I'm not about
Speaker 1: to let you sit in. No, come and go to sleep. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm about to walk off and go stand by the
Speaker 1: other individuals that I came with. I see a group
Speaker 1: of people coming. I'm about to let these people walk
Speaker 1: past me. I'm not about to try to go through
Speaker 1: these people and nothing like that. Next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: and he hit me. It's like I had an out
Speaker 1: of body experience. I hused to believe he spoke to
Speaker 1: him for two hours. I just don't see it. Dad.
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about a lot of different things too.
Speaker 1: Though I don't know if you know anything about Kandarana.
Speaker 1: He's from Savannah and he's had a really oh he
Speaker 1: has a he's had a very challenging upbringing. Let's just
Speaker 1: say that if you hear about how he was raised,
Speaker 1: and you know him growing up and foster care and
Speaker 1: end and out of Julie from when he was young,
Speaker 1: and a lot of things that he's gone through. And
Speaker 1: we were talking about he's not even supposed to be
Speaker 1: here right now. Just the success that he's had, that's far.
Speaker 1: It's been a challenging time for him. Man, even with
Speaker 1: all of this. You know, clearly he didn't go out
Speaker 1: to the club, but the intentions of anything like this happening,
Speaker 1: He wasn't even trying to be out, and so it
Speaker 1: was just a really tragic night. But he did want
Speaker 1: to be able to tell his side of the story.
Speaker 1: It's just a very serious game. So just be careful.
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of text yesterday, be like, you
Speaker 1: can't like what's going on? You're good in Chicago. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And then I guess you
Speaker 1: released your interview. But just be careful something I guess
Speaker 1: because she did the interview when she was interviewing Kondo,
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's there from Chicago. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but just be very careful everybody out there. Hopefully they
Speaker 1: spat that, you know, I mean, you don't want to
Speaker 1: play with them, them young boys. Yeah, but you can't
Speaker 1: get mad at the reporter or the journalists personality because
Speaker 1: they did an envy in an interview. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: the whole interview with no nobody did an envy, but
Speaker 1: got what you just said. I said an interview crazy?
Speaker 1: Think about doing you. I just don't like the back
Speaker 1: and forth that's been going on. So it was my
Speaker 1: hope that he would be able to tell side of
Speaker 1: the story because I don't believe, you know, from what
Speaker 1: he's told me, and we spoke before the interview, and
Speaker 1: I'm good friends with his manager, Fee, that's my guy.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that he had any ill intentions at all,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's what happened. I think it
Speaker 1: was a tragic night. It was awful what happened, and
Speaker 1: he wanted to be able to explain it from his
Speaker 1: point of view because he was there. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are speculating, but they weren't there. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about this situation. But also will say,
Speaker 1: you know, in regards to they're back and forth, there
Speaker 1: isn't nothing you can do about that. Somebody died, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There's gonna always be a back
Speaker 1: and forth between them. And even in this interview, he
Speaker 1: spoke very respectfully when he spoke of Van and Dirk,
Speaker 1: so you know, and a lot of things that he
Speaker 1: talked about later on. He talks about obviously he's the
Speaker 1: first artist that signed to NB A young boy. He
Speaker 1: talks about their relationship and you know, you'll see it's
Speaker 1: very interesting though what he had to say. So and
Speaker 1: he's only twenty one years old. All right, that is
Speaker 1: your rumor report. All right, thank you, missie Charlomage. Who
Speaker 1: giving that donkey too? Man? I need Officer Kim Potter
Speaker 1: to come to the front of the congry gate. We'd
Speaker 1: like to have a word with her this morning. And
Speaker 1: I think President Biden needs to come to the front
Speaker 1: of the congregation too. We need to have a world
Speaker 1: with him as well. All right, we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: Next is the Breakfast Club come morning. So Breakfast Club,

Speaker 1: be on the Donkey of the day. Chose you because
Speaker 1: the breakfast club bitches use donkey the day to day
Speaker 1: Well at Sharon Dunkey Today for Tuesday, April thirteenth, goes
Speaker 1: to Officer Kim Potter, a twenty six year veteran of
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Center Police Department twenty six years. She also
Speaker 1: serves as police union president. Also sharing in this, Heahart
Speaker 1: this morning is the forty six president of the United
Speaker 1: States of America, the best and only option available to
Speaker 1: the worst president of all time, hence why he won.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Oh, we have a lot to unpack here
Speaker 1: this morning, but not really because we've been here before.
Speaker 1: America and I spell America a m R I KKKA
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Kim Cortney and Chloe Are
Speaker 1: Kim Colly and Kendall? I'm talking about ku klux crackers. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a white supremacist country. Black people have been
Speaker 1: historically the lowest cast. The dominant white cast knows this,
Speaker 1: and they always remind us of sucks he there's a
Speaker 1: reality show that we all live in called Being Black
Speaker 1: in America. So I may call it a dramedy, definitely,
Speaker 1: a thriller, absolutely a horror movie. Never a lighthearted affair,
Speaker 1: because the things that happened to us in this country
Speaker 1: have us walking around with heavy hearts constantly. What did
Speaker 1: the late great James Ball wouldn't say? To be a
Speaker 1: negro in this country is to be a negro in
Speaker 1: this country, and to be relatively conscious is to be
Speaker 1: in a rage almost all the time. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: your great ancestor Ball. And that's why I'm intentional about
Speaker 1: not taking too many things seriously, because I have to
Speaker 1: laugh to keep from crying. I've been getting told all
Speaker 1: my life. I turned everything into a joke. Yes I do.
Speaker 1: It's a form of self care, Okay, a defense mechanism
Speaker 1: of starts to protect us from the inevitable, the inevitable
Speaker 1: trauma that we will witness, which keeps this show Being
Speaker 1: Black in America perpetually, perpetually in a series of new reruns. Okay, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's no laughing matter. You're not how hard it is
Speaker 1: to chuckle when nothing is funny, but you have to
Speaker 1: laugh at the absurdity of it all. Case in point
Speaker 1: this situation, would Officer Kim Potter, your uncle, Charlotte, brother Lenard.
Speaker 1: I get on this radio and I tell y'all things,
Speaker 1: and you may or may not take me serious because
Speaker 1: of my list. But one thing I've been telling y'all is,
Speaker 1: nobody plays dumb like a white person trying to deny injustice.
Speaker 1: I repeat, nobody plays dumb like a white person trying
Speaker 1: to deny injustice. Your latest example, Officer Kim Potter, not
Speaker 1: a rookie, has worked for the department for twenty six years,
Speaker 1: twenty six and she's headed a police union. It's playing dumb.
Speaker 1: She protests in Minnesota were doing what they were supposed
Speaker 1: to be doing, and that's being angry. Okay, raising hell
Speaker 1: in a region, as the New York Times stated, in
Speaker 1: a region already at the center of a national reckoning
Speaker 1: over police officers use of force against black people. New
Speaker 1: York Times, we need stronger language than us to force. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's say, in a region already at the center of
Speaker 1: a national reckoning over police officers killing black people for
Speaker 1: no damn reason. Yeah, I like that, because where Dante
Speaker 1: Right was killed by Kim Potter ten miles away. Prosecutors
Speaker 1: in the courtroom completed the questioning of their witness of
Speaker 1: another killer, Cop Derek Chavin. Okay, very important to keep
Speaker 1: reminding y'all that he's the man we saw kill George Floyd. Now,
Speaker 1: Kim Potter has killed Dante, right and is playing dumb
Speaker 1: to deny injustice. How is she playing dumb? Well, let's
Speaker 1: go to CNBC with Shepherd Smithfolter report police just miles
Speaker 1: from where George Floyd died, a police officer shot and
Speaker 1: killed a young, unarmed black man, reigniting outrage and inflaming tensions. Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: of course, was already on edge as the nation watches
Speaker 1: the murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The police chief in
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Center says cops pulled over twenty year old Dante
Speaker 1: Wright for expired tags and tried to arrest him for
Speaker 1: an outstanding warrant. There was a struggle, The police chief
Speaker 1: says one of the officers pulled out her gun by mistake,
Speaker 1: thinking it was her taser, and fired. Well, the protesters
Speaker 1: are back out on the streets tonight after a night
Speaker 1: of unrest in Brooklyn Center last evening. People are angry.
Speaker 1: The explanations that the police gave didn't sit. Well. We
Speaker 1: are outside of the police headquarters and you can see
Speaker 1: it's become a fortress last a lot of violence, a
Speaker 1: big confrontation. The police chief said they were being attacked
Speaker 1: by bottles and ricks and all kinds of objects, and
Speaker 1: that's why they retaliated. That's why they fired back with
Speaker 1: tear gas, flash bangs and also rubbert bullet. Bottles and
Speaker 1: bricks still better than bullets. Okay, Kim Potter, twenty six
Speaker 1: years on the force and she doesn't know the difference
Speaker 1: between a gun and a taser. Let me tell y'all
Speaker 1: something because you all be prisoners at the moment. This excuse,
Speaker 1: this lie, it's used quite often. Okay, it's been used
Speaker 1: before twenty nineteen. The police officer in Pennsylvania who never
Speaker 1: got identified because charges weren't filed because he shot a
Speaker 1: man named Brian Rilling. That officer said he must stoo
Speaker 1: kiss gun for a taser. Hell, it's happened in Minnesota
Speaker 1: before two thousand and two. A Rochester police officer who
Speaker 1: wasn't identified, thought he was reaching for a stun gun
Speaker 1: and pulled his forty glock and severely injured a man
Speaker 1: named Christopher Attack, Okay refugee from Sudan. No criminal charges
Speaker 1: were filed against that cop. Tolsa, Oklahoma, Robert Bates, white
Speaker 1: volunteer sheriff's deputy, shot and killed ano on black man
Speaker 1: named Eric Harris, who was being held down down by
Speaker 1: other officers. Bates apologized for killing Harrison, was sent us
Speaker 1: to four years in prison, and Tosa County had to
Speaker 1: pay six million to Harris's estate to settle a federal
Speaker 1: civil rights lawsuit should have came about his pension, you know,
Speaker 1: if he eventually got one. But all of those people,
Speaker 1: you know, mistook their guns. No, I'm stick there guns
Speaker 1: for tases and tastes for guns. I don't know. They
Speaker 1: mistook there tasers for guns. Whatever it was, Okay, they
Speaker 1: claimed it was a mistake. And oh, let's not forget
Speaker 1: the most famous case, at least of my lifetime. Y'all.
Speaker 1: Remember a young brother named Oscar Grant, right, A killer
Speaker 1: cop named John Hannes Mercelli testified that trial that he
Speaker 1: feared Oscar Grant had a weapon, so he reached for
Speaker 1: his stun gun, but mistakenly pulled his forty child as well,
Speaker 1: and he shot Oscar Grant. Well, Oscar Grant was laying
Speaker 1: face down in this situation. Johannes Marcelli was convicted of
Speaker 1: involuntary manslaughter and sent us to two years in prison,
Speaker 1: and the Department paid two point eight million to Oscar
Speaker 1: Grant's daughter and her mother Pennies for your life. Now,
Speaker 1: Robert Bates, who killed Eric Harris, when it happened to him,
Speaker 1: he said, this has happened a number of times around
Speaker 1: the country. You must believe me. It can happen to anyone. Sure,
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know, but it shouldn't. Okay. How is
Speaker 1: their mild practice in every professional industry except law enforcement?
Speaker 1: What's the definition of mild practice? Improper? Illegal? Are negligent
Speaker 1: professional activity or treatment? Police officers are rendering professional services
Speaker 1: which are resulting in injury, loss okay, loss of life
Speaker 1: that is, and damage? Yet they rarely, if ever get
Speaker 1: held accountable. If I can kill someone and just say
Speaker 1: my back, okay, how do I or anyone else watching
Speaker 1: this situation learn their lesson once again? Yeah, have to
Speaker 1: get rid of qualified immunity because these officers need to
Speaker 1: be sued directly, Okay. It needed to be their money
Speaker 1: and their pensions that contribute to these large payoffs from
Speaker 1: the state and civil suits and the threat of jail time.
Speaker 1: When police officers are interacting with civilians, the two words
Speaker 1: that need to be on their minds is pensions in prison.
Speaker 1: If I know as a cop, I could lose my
Speaker 1: pension are go to prison, I'd act rate. But the
Speaker 1: reason they will never act rate is because leadership in
Speaker 1: our country plays dumb okay. Leadership in our country downplays
Speaker 1: and minimizes these state sanctioned killings of black people. Exhibit
Speaker 1: a President Joe Biden, leader of the Free World, vice
Speaker 1: president to the first black president, picked a black woman,
Speaker 1: woman of color to be his vice president. Friend of
Speaker 1: black people, cornpop, okay, mouse and all of them. Was
Speaker 1: asked about Kim Potter shooting Dante right, and this is
Speaker 1: what he said. Wasn't an accident? Was it intentional? That
Speaker 1: remains to be determined by a full bawn investigation. But
Speaker 1: in the meantime, I want to make it clear again
Speaker 1: there is absolutely no justification for looting, no justification for violence.
Speaker 1: Oh God peaceful protests understand them, but we do know
Speaker 1: that the anger, pain and trauma the resist the black
Speaker 1: community in that environment is real it's serious and it's consequential,
Speaker 1: President Biden, it should be. There's absolutely no justification for
Speaker 1: police brutality, no justification for police violence against unarmed black
Speaker 1: people in this country. Why do we always call for
Speaker 1: the people to remain peaceful? Why do we all it's
Speaker 1: called for the people to remain calm, President Biden, cops
Speaker 1: of the ones not being peaceful, Cops of the ones
Speaker 1: not remaining calm. If the protests aren't peaceful, whose fault
Speaker 1: is that? Okay, violence be guests, violence, and police officers
Speaker 1: were held responsible for these actions, and maybe the protests
Speaker 1: would be peaceful. But we know in this episode of
Speaker 1: America with Three Ks that we've seen a million times
Speaker 1: that regardless of who's in the White House, nothing's going
Speaker 1: to change. Okay, what happened to the George Floyd policing?
Speaker 1: All the Democrats? Okay, who are championing this? Vice President
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, y'all should be front instent of
Speaker 1: pushing this right now in colonies, calling these cops in
Speaker 1: their behavior out. I don't want to hear President Biden
Speaker 1: saying the question is was it an accident? Was it intentional?
Speaker 1: That remarriage to be determined by a full blown investigation.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. President Biden stopped white man in me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, white people are having innate ability, especially
Speaker 1: white men and positions of power, having innate ability to
Speaker 1: play dumb when it comes to racial injustice. And boy,
Speaker 1: they give each other the benefit of the doubt and
Speaker 1: grace every single time. Look, I know, policing, it's still local.
Speaker 1: DA's got to do the work, and I know Kim
Speaker 1: Potter is a local issue, but the George Floyd Policing
Speaker 1: Act is necessary, and at least it's something that's all
Speaker 1: I want at this point, something, somebody somewhere, I gotta
Speaker 1: show me something, because the only thing gonna happen to
Speaker 1: Keim Potter is this will be labeled an accident, No
Speaker 1: charges will be filed, She'll be fired and moved to
Speaker 1: a nearby jurisdiction and will not have to face any
Speaker 1: consequences for her malpractice. And people like President Biden will
Speaker 1: continue to show more concern for buildings than we the people,
Speaker 1: or should I say we the property, because as I
Speaker 1: told y'all yesterday during Donkey Today, this is what black
Speaker 1: people are in this country. Property and in these cities
Speaker 1: like Minnesota, they make more money off those buildings that
Speaker 1: are property than they do black people there. Four black
Speaker 1: folks are disposable. And that's why President Biden will say
Speaker 1: it's no justification for looting, rather than saying it's no
Speaker 1: justification for killing us and Joe. You can't say you
Speaker 1: understand the trauma the black community is facing. When you
Speaker 1: minimize that trauma to looting, you know that's not what's happening.
Speaker 1: Black people are fed up, angry and have every right
Speaker 1: to be. My therapist says, feel your fails, okay, And
Speaker 1: black people, women and men, you have every right to
Speaker 1: be angry and every right to express that anger. Not
Speaker 1: coming off as angry has gotten us nowhere. Okay, Yes
Speaker 1: we angry, Yes we pissed off. And if you are
Speaker 1: a human who cares about other humans in this country,
Speaker 1: you would be angry with us, okay. As Queen Tamika
Speaker 1: Mallory says, we don't need allies, we need accomplices. Everybody
Speaker 1: needs to be angry. Everybody needs to get angry if
Speaker 1: you truly care about other humans in this on this planet,
Speaker 1: because if you are silent about your pain, they'll kill
Speaker 1: you and say you enjoyed it. That's Zora Neil Hurston.
Speaker 1: By the way, please give Kim Potter and President Joe
Speaker 1: Biden the biggest he hall. All right, please please. I
Speaker 1: know President Joe Biden as a sitting president. Don't audit me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't even extra artists calling out a sitting president. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you? Yeah, all right, well just remember that was Lenard,
Speaker 1: not Rashawn. All right now, let's open up the phone lines.
Speaker 1: We ain't got much time. How do you feel? Let's
Speaker 1: still wellness check? How do you feel? Let's talk about

Speaker 1: Just how you feeling out there with everything that's going
Speaker 1: on in the last couple of days. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's heavy, right. You see all the trauma. You see
Speaker 1: the trauma from you know, watching m the lieutenant, you know,
Speaker 1: get get get get assaulted by those police officers. I
Speaker 1: forgot what state that was in. What was that at Virginia? Right?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Um? And you know watching
Speaker 1: officer Kim Potter killed Dante, right, Like, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of trauma being passed through the mid watching that happen,
Speaker 1: still in the middle of the Derek chov And trial,
Speaker 1: so you know he's gonna do it well in his
Speaker 1: check man. See, how are people feeling out there? All? Right? Well? Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this? Hello? Good morning? My name is Megan. Hey Megan,
Speaker 1: good morning. How are you feeling today? Megan? Honestly, after
Speaker 1: last summer, I thought I'd get over this trauma that
Speaker 1: I'm having about being black in America, But at this
Speaker 1: point it's just getting worse. Some worried. I'm getting tired
Speaker 1: of everything that's been going on. And I live in
Speaker 1: the South, so I see it a lot more than often,
Speaker 1: a lot more that's not publicized, and I'm over it.
Speaker 1: I tried to put myself in therapy. That's not helping.
Speaker 1: I'm a social worker. It's not helping me tell people
Speaker 1: like it's okay one day, all the discussions are going
Speaker 1: to change. I'm just gone. You know why. You know
Speaker 1: why because we're in a perpetual time loop. We're in
Speaker 1: a perpetual time loop of trauma. Like I call all
Speaker 1: of this new reruns. It shows that we've seen before,
Speaker 1: but it's new episodes of reruns. It's weird, like being traumatizing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: being black in America is such a uniquely traumatic experience
Speaker 1: that only I think black people could could truly understand.
Speaker 1: I think part of mine is too. It's like I'm
Speaker 1: black and then I've had also the trauma of beings
Speaker 1: in the Caribbean on Haitian, and like seeing anything that's
Speaker 1: happened over and over again, even the something's going on
Speaker 1: with Haiti right now, I don't feel like we've saved anywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: white supremacy is a disease man, and James Baldwin said,
Speaker 1: it's the best to be a Negro in this country,
Speaker 1: and to be, you know, somewhat conscious is to be
Speaker 1: in a constant state of age. That's very true. So
Speaker 1: what she's feeling is absolutely accurate. It's okay to feel
Speaker 1: like that. By the way, all right, thank you for
Speaker 1: calling mamma. Hello, who's this? My name is anotherment? Hey, anamous,
Speaker 1: how are you feeling. We can't see you. This is
Speaker 1: the radio. You don't have to say anonymous. You can
Speaker 1: just give a fake name. My name is Angie. How
Speaker 1: are you doing, Hi, Angie, what's happening? My name is Michel.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling? Angie? A little distraught today because
Speaker 1: I'm on my way to court a civil commitment, which
Speaker 1: means say, I'm going support to be told whether they're
Speaker 1: not going to put me in a hospital or if
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue out patients, because if some things
Speaker 1: can happen pertaining to my job. So, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: COVID with a rough year for everybody where I saw
Speaker 1: at first not enough people cared about what was going
Speaker 1: on within the people, and I got a little loud
Speaker 1: and things kind of went upside down. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's anything wrong with you getting a little loud. I
Speaker 1: think that we need to get louder. I think that
Speaker 1: the greatest, the great this trick that they've pulled on
Speaker 1: us is telling us that they do things to trigger us,
Speaker 1: do things to make us angry, and tell us that
Speaker 1: we can't come off as angry. No get angry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was told to be quiet and can you know,
Speaker 1: not say certain things within the obseration that I had,
Speaker 1: which was never a local county that I live in.
Speaker 1: So you know, that caught a lot of problems for
Speaker 1: me because telling someone that they needed to come back
Speaker 1: to work after things happened in their life with it
Speaker 1: with COVID going on, that was not good for me. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sending you healing energy. I'm sending you healing energy.
Speaker 1: Can I guess I'm sending it to your fake name
Speaker 1: since you gave us a fake name, Angie, Angie, but
Speaker 1: I'm sending you healing energy, Angie Fash your middle name. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't give too much information, no, but I'm glad that
Speaker 1: you're be able to call and express yourself. Sometimes people
Speaker 1: need to just verbalize how they fail too that helps
Speaker 1: a little. That's right, Well, thank you mama. All right,
Speaker 1: Well eight hundred five eight five one o five one
Speaker 1: call us let me know how you're feeling out there,
Speaker 1: so wellness check this morning. It's the breakfast club. Go morning,
Speaker 1: call me your opinions to the breakfast club topic. I
Speaker 1: did five five one five one morning. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We're just doing a wellness check this morning, calling speaking
Speaker 1: to everybody out there, seeing how you're feeling. Hello. Who's this? Hello?
Speaker 1: This is y'all. Hey, how are you feeling today? Bro?
Speaker 1: I just want to just a topic of officers getting
Speaker 1: their guns from views with their tasers, Yes, sir, like
Speaker 1: they need to do like an intelligent investigation. Do they wait?
Speaker 1: Do the guns wait the thing? Are they on the
Speaker 1: same side? Are the grip of sting? Do they release
Speaker 1: from the hosts of things? There's a lot of puntions
Speaker 1: that need to be asked on. How can an officer
Speaker 1: who've been in the force for over twenty years confuse
Speaker 1: their gun with their hazard? Is it bidding to be
Speaker 1: possible to do that? Yes, situations. Haven't you been in
Speaker 1: these situations before like thin like Beau can't happen, No,
Speaker 1: you can't. It's malpractice. And like I said, you know,
Speaker 1: law enforcement is the only place where you know there
Speaker 1: is no consequences and repercussions to malpractice. It's like, really
Speaker 1: the grip the same on the gun and the pa
Speaker 1: they have to way different they do it. They do
Speaker 1: it different. When you put the point you don't need that,
Speaker 1: it looks different, like what are you looking at? Of
Speaker 1: course they do pray for America. A M E R
Speaker 1: I K k k A. I'm not praying for America.
Speaker 1: I'm praying America get exactly what it deserves, okay, because
Speaker 1: that's the only way things are gonna change. Things are
Speaker 1: gonna change when everybody gets exactly what they deserve and
Speaker 1: don't get it twisted the America guy that coming. Okay,
Speaker 1: Rome has fallen, Ladies and gentlemen. Let's go to another caller. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this? This is Paige. Hey, good morning. How are
Speaker 1: you feeling this morning? Good? How are you are you
Speaker 1: really good? Are you really good? I'm okay, that's what
Speaker 1: I want to hear. Feel your feels go. I mean,
Speaker 1: she knew what she was doing it's modernate flavor basically.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just legally killing the whole Black comedians.
Speaker 1: The community feels that way, feels that way, and don't
Speaker 1: feel bad a percussion away with it, like I just
Speaker 1: made a mistake. It was an accellent it was not
Speaker 1: an accident, right, That's what I'm saying. Their excuses though,
Speaker 1: is it was an accident, or they'll say like it's
Speaker 1: your fault because you did this, and they try to
Speaker 1: justify it. You could have video footage and everything in
Speaker 1: audio and still somehow they're able to get away with it.
Speaker 1: No repercussions, right, question, are you black or white? Man?
Speaker 1: No end to this? Unless there's no end to this,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like if George Floyd's killer does not
Speaker 1: get any type punishment, then the whole world is going
Speaker 1: to blow up. Like I'm so beyond there's no like
Speaker 1: words like I'm shaking right now, like this this poor
Speaker 1: man who just got shot for no reason, and there's
Speaker 1: gonna be no justice for him. There is gonna be
Speaker 1: no justice, there's no hope, there's no justice. You're you're white, right,
Speaker 1: I'm make I'm Hispanic and white. Okay, Well, I mean listen,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care the way because I'm happy,
Speaker 1: because you know, we need all hands on deck. If
Speaker 1: you're a human that cares about other humans, you know
Speaker 1: we need each other right now. We need to like
Speaker 1: we need accomplishes, not allies. And everybody has the right
Speaker 1: to be angry, and everybody has a right to express
Speaker 1: that anger. Because I keep quoting zor Neil Hurston because
Speaker 1: it's true. If we're silent about our pain, they'll kill
Speaker 1: us and say we enjoyed it. I mean, I had
Speaker 1: just shown my ten year old children a little five
Speaker 1: year old boy getting berated by cops to show them
Speaker 1: you cannot trust these cops. I have to cry and
Speaker 1: show them that you cannot trust God, like I have
Speaker 1: to know that they're not in the world. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's sad and it's scary. I mean, and like you said,
Speaker 1: with anxiety, like with Charlemagne and you said earlier, I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't know when it's coming from. You don't know
Speaker 1: if if if you're nervous to let your kids go
Speaker 1: to school because of mass shootings, you don't know if
Speaker 1: if if you let your son drive because they're killing
Speaker 1: on black men. You don't know if you can if
Speaker 1: it's safe to take them to the mall. You know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you just it's everything is so scary. Just
Speaker 1: you just want to create your own fort and just
Speaker 1: living and never leave like it's that scary. Pick your
Speaker 1: own trauma. And why do I envision you building a
Speaker 1: fort in your bedroom? And yeah, asking you what the
Speaker 1: hell is your problem? Why why you do it in
Speaker 1: my bedroom? Doesn't everything back when you build a fort?
Speaker 1: Do you do it with pillows? What do you using
Speaker 1: about me? And do you use the cushions, the cushions
Speaker 1: on the couch. I used the cushions on the couch,
Speaker 1: but those are the best. They stirty, They definitely stirty
Speaker 1: it in pillows. What's the moral of the story, man?
Speaker 1: Why else? I hate you? Man? Just letting people calling
Speaker 1: and express themselves as a lot going on. Sometimes people
Speaker 1: aren't able to verbalize that. Sometimes people don't even ask
Speaker 1: you how are you doing? Yeah, I'll tell you them
Speaker 1: all of the story, man, James Baldwin, Because everybody out
Speaker 1: there needs to feel their fields. And if you feel angry,
Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine. If you've got a lot of anxiety,
Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine. Because James Baldwin said to be a
Speaker 1: negro in this country, and to be relatively conscious is
Speaker 1: to be in a rage almost all the time. All right, well,
Speaker 1: we got rumors on the way, yes, and let's talk
Speaker 1: about Drake. It looks like he'll be on the next
Speaker 1: drink Chimps. I'm gonna tell you some things we do
Speaker 1: know that we'll be addressed. All right, we'll get into
Speaker 1: that next. It's the breakfast club, Go morning, the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: I've never met. This guy knows nothing about latinos. Bro.
Speaker 1: You talk about traumas. Oh yeah, I'll be asking him
Speaker 1: questions and he don't have no answers. He's fake. It's
Speaker 1: all right, dad, We all to breakfast club. Let's get
Speaker 1: to rumors. Let's talk to YOUMX. This is the rumor
Speaker 1: report with angela way where looks like Nori might have
Speaker 1: that sit down with Drake coming soon now. He said
Speaker 1: he posted a picture with Drake. He said Champagne. Oh,
Speaker 1: he said, you see my face and you know why
Speaker 1: I'm here, Champagne Poppy. But who's who? Obio drink Champs
Speaker 1: loading and then he puts certified love for boy loading.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know. But I squashed the
Speaker 1: beat between DMX and Drake through my boy forty. But
Speaker 1: we will say that for drink Champs got a big
Speaker 1: up Obio forty are mine and fancy. That's the fact.
Speaker 1: Nori definitely uh smooth that over all. Right, So let's
Speaker 1: revisit what exactly happened now. When DMX was on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club in two thy twelve, I asked what he
Speaker 1: thought about Drake. We were talking about a lot of
Speaker 1: different artists naming people, and here's what happened. What about Drake? Drake? No,
Speaker 1: I don't like anything about Drake. Mom. I don't like
Speaker 1: his voice he talks about I don't see trying to
Speaker 1: I don't he walks like nothing. I might just let
Speaker 1: me shut out. I'm gonna stop right there. Have you
Speaker 1: been converted to a Drake fan yet? No? What do
Speaker 1: you think about the new Elia album now? Disrespectful like
Speaker 1: like like like they don't even make sense, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like like you can't, you can't do it
Speaker 1: like that. That's like wrong, man, Like I wish it
Speaker 1: was like maybe seven years ago. Well, you know, catch
Speaker 1: to beat him up. That was the first time we
Speaker 1: interviewed DMX. In the second time we interviewed all right well,
Speaker 1: and in twenty sixteen he changed his tune. That on
Speaker 1: he had some more positive things to say. Listen to
Speaker 1: what he said about Drake. You were a fan of
Speaker 1: Drake at first. I did always say that he was
Speaker 1: to tell delricous, but I was not a fan. I
Speaker 1: was not, And another homely experience. Of course, we were like, yo,
Speaker 1: you didn't like this dude for all the wrong reasons,
Speaker 1: but you know there was other reasons. You know, we
Speaker 1: were getting all that. But for him to take the
Speaker 1: effort first to want to use the song I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and then to be man enough to reach out and
Speaker 1: make the calls soft man, that was a real move.
Speaker 1: That's gonna make for a great Drink Champ story. And
Speaker 1: I'm a person who feels like you have to have
Speaker 1: at least a ten year career to be on Drink Champs.
Speaker 1: Drake has that. So I would love to see Drake
Speaker 1: drinking Virginia Black, which is his bourbon, and popping bottles
Speaker 1: of Loyalty, which is Jay Prince's wine. I would love
Speaker 1: to see him doing that on Drink Champs. And if
Speaker 1: Drake does drink Champs, boy, I'm gonna have The Black
Speaker 1: Effect and iHeartRadio promote that podcast like Oprah promoted her
Speaker 1: sitting down with Megan Marcole and Harry Potter. What's his name?
Speaker 1: His name is definitely Harry Potter, but we know he
Speaker 1: mean yes And can I also say too that Nori
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this because he's my friend in
Speaker 1: business partner. I'm saying this because it's true. Drink Champs
Speaker 1: is the best platform for hip hop right now because
Speaker 1: Nori and DJ Effin created a lane five years ago
Speaker 1: to give OG hip hop artists a platform and it's
Speaker 1: grown into something special and over the past I would
Speaker 1: probably say a year, nobody's doing OG hip hop conversations

Speaker 1: clothesb Entreneuria in DJ every every morning to Morningay give
Speaker 1: it up for Nori, Right, make sure you check out
Speaker 1: Drink Champs on The Black Effect Guy Heart Radio podcast network.
Speaker 1: All right now, ll cool J is not feeling the
Speaker 1: fact that people are calling him the forefather of pop rap.
Speaker 1: It was a whole discussion that was happening and LL
Speaker 1: cool J said, me being called the forefather a pop
Speaker 1: rap is very confusing. What the f are y'all talking
Speaker 1: about So people were talking about I Need Love, and
Speaker 1: they were saying that was like one of the beginning
Speaker 1: songs of pop rap. Listen to it. I Need lab
Speaker 1: in case you I don't know, but mainstream ago. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I stay with the back of my mind and my
Speaker 1: conscious call telling me I need a girl. First time,
Speaker 1: I was like I need love, giggling about the games.
Speaker 1: You're gonna take him up? And then you start sing,
Speaker 1: wasn't I was on beat? You wasn't. First of all,
Speaker 1: hip hop is pop culture, and it's been pop culture
Speaker 1: for a long time. Pop culture is just short for popular.
Speaker 1: So I Need Love was a very very popular record.
Speaker 1: It's not a pop It's definitely not a pop sounding
Speaker 1: record by any means. But I understand what people mean
Speaker 1: when they say hip hop is pop culture. They didn't
Speaker 1: know pop record. That wasn't a pop er. He was rapping.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like all, I'm gonna do this record for
Speaker 1: pop rad listen to anything that I said. Just no, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't short for popular. Yeah, but hip hop has
Speaker 1: been the most popular genre and culture for a long time. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's not a pop They didn't mean it like that.
Speaker 1: They meant pop sounding. You know they didn't. There's no
Speaker 1: way they couldn't meant it like that. It just means
Speaker 1: it crushed over to mainstream basically to be on the
Speaker 1: pop charts as well. That's all by definition, but that's
Speaker 1: not saying that hip hop and rap is not. That
Speaker 1: is what is popular. Yes, it is. Hip hoop is
Speaker 1: pop culture. Sorry, guys and gals, it is what it is,
Speaker 1: all right. DJ Mustard is saying that his personal shoppers
Speaker 1: stole over fifty thousand dollars from him and spent it
Speaker 1: on bags, and he even posted a screenshot of a
Speaker 1: conversation where she actually apologized to him and he added
Speaker 1: her He said, Actionelle de Johan. We let her use
Speaker 1: the stylist word so she could get business, but the
Speaker 1: truth is she did nothing but shop. Today I found
Speaker 1: out that she ran my credit cards up over fifty
Speaker 1: k buying stuff for herself, persons, shoes, shades, and other stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm hot and I'm only writing that so nobody else
Speaker 1: deals with her. She's bad for business. I have all
Speaker 1: the receipts to prove everything. I paid her more than
Speaker 1: she was worth because I don't play with taking care
Speaker 1: of people that do their jobs. He was paying her
Speaker 1: six thousand per month, he said, and after calculating she
Speaker 1: could have good and well wrapped up over one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand and expenses, she ran up fifteen thousand and Louis
Speaker 1: Vatan alone on herself except for some effing Instagram likes?
Speaker 1: Can I play White Devil's advocate for just a second. Technically,
Speaker 1: it's not like the personal shopper didn't do what you
Speaker 1: paid her to do. Is it defined that personal shoppers
Speaker 1: only buy stuff for you? Yes? It is, you dumbass, Yeah,
Speaker 1: six tho yourself? Are you kidding me? Personal shopper meant
Speaker 1: for herself personally, That's what I'm saying. Is it defined
Speaker 1: that I'm only personally shopping for you? Yes? In writing
Speaker 1: that part of the job description, you just said personal shopping.
Speaker 1: I did some personal shopping that bought me a few things. No,
Speaker 1: he can't do that, not if I pay you know?
Speaker 1: All right, Well that that is your rumor report, all right.
Speaker 1: Six thousand dolls is a lot of month to go
Speaker 1: a lot of money a month to go personal shopping
Speaker 1: for somebody, because you probably had money to do other stuff.
Speaker 1: And you know, on the scamming lines, I saw that
Speaker 1: this stripper had posted that she was upset that Usher
Speaker 1: didn't pay the strippers with real money. He used some usherbucks,
Speaker 1: some Usher bucks, and she said the money does not
Speaker 1: have a trade in value whatsoever. Don't y'all think he
Speaker 1: should be blasted on social media for this? She said
Speaker 1: she danced all night and Usher through that. But it
Speaker 1: looks like the story is a little different. I seen
Speaker 1: multiple other people saying that what really happened was he
Speaker 1: did pay money, and he was throwing money all night.
Speaker 1: But somebody left the Usher Bucks as like kind of
Speaker 1: a joke and it's something that he's doing to promote
Speaker 1: his Vegas residency. And he just threw out some usher bucks.
Speaker 1: They threw out some usher bucks, that something Charlomagne would do.
Speaker 1: First of all, God bless that savage name Usher Raymond.
Speaker 1: The fourth drop on the clue bombs him, and the
Speaker 1: fourth I don't see anything wrong with what he did.
Speaker 1: You have to know your worth. What what's what's knowing
Speaker 1: your worth more than having your own currency? Okay, may
Speaker 1: not mean anything to any mercy, it's not worth nothing.
Speaker 1: Who says who? It's all about what you put value
Speaker 1: on Okay, stay shut up. It's savings treat these ushbucks
Speaker 1: the way you would treat a two dollar bill. Hold
Speaker 1: on to it. Maybe it could be see come on
Speaker 1: then you then you go. Thank you. NFT go ahead
Speaker 1: and make one hundred and sixty thousand off of these ushbucks.
Speaker 1: You play around. If you want, you take the mushbucks
Speaker 1: to a store Louis Vauton, Gucci or any of the
Speaker 1: other stores. You get arrested. Don't even take it to McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Wherever you go, dollar store, You're gonna get arrested with
Speaker 1: the mush want I really, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I really need Usher to do a versus. I need
Speaker 1: somebody to stay up up and get that smoke, get
Speaker 1: that slang that Usher Raymond is gonna give them because
Speaker 1: I am so tired of y'all disrespecting Usher Raymond the
Speaker 1: Fourth when it gets a million asher box. That's right, y'all,
Speaker 1: keep backing like Usher ram In the fourth, not a
Speaker 1: whole legend, a whole gold out here with a with
Speaker 1: a with a damn near unbeatable catalog. But who said
Speaker 1: he's not you? I did not, Yes, you did. You
Speaker 1: told me Chris Brown could get out your anniverses. When
Speaker 1: did you hear that? All right? Said? It depends on
Speaker 1: who the song is up against whose I don't share
Speaker 1: what song you play. Ushers got great weapons, and I
Speaker 1: need him to get his flowers because y'all be disrespecting
Speaker 1: Usher the fourth way too much. I like he not

Speaker 1: Envy and we're back and we're kicking it with Mountain Dewing.
Speaker 1: We're talking about their Real Change Opportunity Fund. Now, the
Speaker 1: Real Change Opportunity Fund is uplifting black entrepreneurs. And right
Speaker 1: now we have a special person on the line right now,
Speaker 1: And I hate the factor of the zoom because I
Speaker 1: would love to actually see these people in the person.
Speaker 1: Now we have Nicole Portwood. Now. She joined PepsiCo in
Speaker 1: September twenty eighteen as Vice president of Marketing for Mountain
Speaker 1: dew Energy and Flavors, leading three hundred and sixty degree
Speaker 1: brand marketing strategy across the portfolio. Nicole joined Pepsi Co.
Speaker 1: From Tito's Homemade Vacca, where she led branding for nine
Speaker 1: years in Austin, Texas. Now, Nicole was instrumental in developing
Speaker 1: this program for black entrepreneurs. So, ladies and gentlemen, the
Speaker 1: old Portwood, Hey and v it's great to be here
Speaker 1: with you. Thanks for joining me. So let's talk about
Speaker 1: this program. How did this program get created and why
Speaker 1: did it start? So we announced the Real Change Opportunity
Speaker 1: Fund on the heels of PepsiCo, our parent company, announcing
Speaker 1: our four hundred million dollar commitment to uplift black communities
Speaker 1: and Black representation and Mountain Dew. We recognize that there
Speaker 1: was this immediate need for us to take action as
Speaker 1: a brand and to do what we could to really
Speaker 1: drive tangible change in the specific fight against systemic racism
Speaker 1: and inequality faced by Black people in America. We really
Speaker 1: felt like entrepreneurs are the key to closing the wealth
Speaker 1: gap that has been in place for far too long
Speaker 1: and is really based on systemic racism throughout our history.
Speaker 1: Entrepreneurs really exemplify what Mountain Dew's all about. They're the doers, right,
Speaker 1: They're the ones who are getting out there changing their lives,
Speaker 1: changing the world, and changing things for the Black community.
Speaker 1: So the Real Change Opportunity Fund is our way to
Speaker 1: build hope, to inspire lasting impact and empower the next
Speaker 1: generation of entrepreneurs. Now why HBCUs. You know HBCUs play
Speaker 1: as such a crucial role in personal and professional development.
Speaker 1: I went to a HBCU university. What's up? But why
Speaker 1: you know HBCUs? Why that route? Um? You know? As
Speaker 1: a brand, this is the first time that we've developed
Speaker 1: something official in partnering with HBCUs. But PepsiCo overall has
Speaker 1: fostered and developed relationships across HBCUs by launching programs like
Speaker 1: She Got Now and twenty twenty Virtual Marching Band Performance.
Speaker 1: So this is our opportunity to put a stake in
Speaker 1: the ground and really solidify our own relationship with HBCUs
Speaker 1: because that's how you invest in talent from these legacy schools.
Speaker 1: That's how you make sure you're investing at the route
Speaker 1: and identifying those brilliant minds that are going to change
Speaker 1: the future. Now, one million dollar prize group, Now what
Speaker 1: is that going to do to for the community, Like,
Speaker 1: that is a lot of money, it is, and we're
Speaker 1: so excited to be able to give this to the
Speaker 1: winning entrepreneurs and these incredible, incredibly talented, brilliant people who
Speaker 1: brought their ideas to us. This was driven by the
Speaker 1: recognition that black entrepreneurs tend to receive less funding than
Speaker 1: non black entrepreneurs. Like, that's a real insight in what's
Speaker 1: happening in the world, and we have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: shift that dynamic. So this one million dollars is meant
Speaker 1: to really inspire and empower some of the best and
Speaker 1: brightest black entrepreneurs out there. So do and our panel
Speaker 1: of expert doers, including you, are going to be providing
Speaker 1: not only the opportunity for this prize pool, but insight
Speaker 1: and feedback and mentorship to these finalists. And we're going
Speaker 1: to give them this platform to tell their story so
Speaker 1: that not only, like I said, they have this opportunity
Speaker 1: to win the money, but it's going to shine a
Speaker 1: light on the incredible ideas that they have, the momentum
Speaker 1: that they've built, and the future that they had so
Speaker 1: money to be had a platform to tell the story,
Speaker 1: and we're hoping that that inspires the community to get
Speaker 1: out there and reach for their dreams and drives additional entrepreneurialism.
Speaker 1: So yeah, not only are the contestants is going to
Speaker 1: receive a portion of that million dollar prize pool, but
Speaker 1: each HBCU that they come from is also going to
Speaker 1: receive an award fund that's dedicated to creating real change
Speaker 1: at those universities. Yeah. I was going to ask money
Speaker 1: is great, Like everybody wants money, but guided, So how
Speaker 1: are they going to definitely get that guides beside the
Speaker 1: panelists because you just can't give somebody a bunch of money,
Speaker 1: but like go do it on your own because they
Speaker 1: might not know. So how important is the guidance. I
Speaker 1: think that's a critical part of what we're doing and
Speaker 1: how we're engaging with these entrepreneurs. You know, they had
Speaker 1: an opportunity to meet with some of our judges prior
Speaker 1: to the actual competition, go through mentorship sessions here from
Speaker 1: business leaders who can give them insight into the kind
Speaker 1: of challenges they're going to face, really begin to prod
Speaker 1: at their ideas and start to ask the difficult questions
Speaker 1: that they're going to need to answer as they grow
Speaker 1: their businesses and look for incremental funding. You're right that
Speaker 1: sometimes too much money with a seed of an idea,
Speaker 1: it can be difficult because they don't necessarily know where
Speaker 1: to invest it or what's the next best problem to solve.
Speaker 1: But where we're really leaning in on a mentorship and
Speaker 1: guidance platform to make sure we stay engaged with these folks. Now,
Speaker 1: tomorrow's the competition, right, So now what are you looking
Speaker 1: forward to see during this competition? I mean, because I
Speaker 1: don't know what to expect. I don't know what they're
Speaker 1: going to be pitching. Is it going to be apps,
Speaker 1: Is it going to be you know, bricking mortar? Like
Speaker 1: I don't know what we should be expected. What are
Speaker 1: you expect? What are you looking forward to tomorrow? But
Speaker 1: I want to get too much away, but I can
Speaker 1: tell you that based on the applications that we've received,
Speaker 1: we know that all of these entrepreneurs are going to
Speaker 1: be bringing their a game for the final round. There's
Speaker 1: going to be really stiff competition. These are some of
Speaker 1: the best and brightest out there, and the ideas range
Speaker 1: from tangible things to technology, all of them, all of
Speaker 1: them geared toward having a massive impact, not just for
Speaker 1: the entrepreneur themselves, but for their community. And that's what
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to, seeing how the dynamic of
Speaker 1: the idea is going to make real change. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing this tomorrow and I will see
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. And thank you for joining us so much.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, n V. I really appreciate time.
Speaker 1: All right, ladies and gentlemen, the cold part with thank you,
