Speaker 9: How y'all feeling good goode? Morgan good good All right, y'all,
Speaker 9: let's get into it.
Speaker 8: So topping the headlines, Elon Musk says, all federal workers
Speaker 8: must report what they did last week or be dismissed,
Speaker 8: and a social media post, Musk said employees will receive
Speaker 8: an email requesting information about what they worked on in
Speaker 8: the last seven days, and any failure to respond to
Speaker 8: that email will be taken as a resignation. Now, the
Speaker 8: move comes after President Trump's he said he'd like to
Speaker 8: see Musk be quote more aggressive in his efforts to
Speaker 8: slash the federal workforce. Now, in the first month of
Speaker 8: Trump's presidency, thousands of federal employees have been fired, the
Speaker 8: first of what officials say will be a wave of layoffs.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 8: Speaking of layoffs, the Trump administration is set to put
Speaker 8: all civil servants employed by the USA i D, the
Speaker 8: US Agency for International Development, on administrative leave Monday at midnight,
Speaker 8: that's today, as well as cut two thousand employees from
Speaker 8: that agency. A noticed reviewed by The Hill shows that
Speaker 8: this maneuver is being called a reduction in force and
Speaker 8: was delivered from the Office of the Administrator.
Speaker 9: Hundreds of employees contracted to.
Speaker 8: Work with the usai D were fired fired following that
Speaker 8: order and listen.
Speaker 1: Salute the FBI directed cash for telling Tolci Gabbin for
Speaker 1: telling their employees. No, they not responding to Elon Musk's email. Okay,
Speaker 1: Like Elon Musk is not an elected official.
Speaker 5: He's not the president. You know, voters didn't vote for him.
Speaker 1: How is this immigrant from another country, you know, a
Speaker 1: tew able to tell the government to do if they're
Speaker 1: able to tell the government what the do with their money,
Speaker 1: and how is he able to tell government officials? Hey,
Speaker 1: you got to send me an email telling telling me
Speaker 1: what it is you do. So I'm happy that they
Speaker 1: pushed back on Elon bus this weekend, that the cash
Speaker 1: metell of the new FBI director and Tolzi Gavit absolutely
Speaker 1: pushed back on him.
Speaker 5: I'm happy to hear that people.
Speaker 6: Were still responding to the emails though.
Speaker 7: I got some friends that work and I was with
Speaker 7: them when that email came out, and they were gathered
Speaker 7: like literally teams were calling each other.
Speaker 4: Yet so scared MS expenses and bills they got to
Speaker 4: make sure to face.
Speaker 6: I'm sure it was just a like cross your te
Speaker 6: dot your I typical.
Speaker 8: I'm sure absolutely, And if you live in a DMV,
Speaker 8: it ain't cheap. I'm just telling you so.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: But in another news, President Trump says he will be
Speaker 8: he will not provide federal funding to states that don't
Speaker 8: comply with executive orders related to transgender women in sports.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 8: Speaking to governors at the White House, Trump's had an
Speaker 8: exchange with h He had an exchange of words with
Speaker 8: Main Governor Janet Mills on Friday over this executive order.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 8: Earlier this month, Trump did sign the executive order that
Speaker 8: banned transgender women from participating in women's sports.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 8: Trump and Main Governor Janet Mills had a bit of
Speaker 8: an exchange, which resulted in Trump telling her that he
Speaker 8: doesn't see a future in politics for her after her
Speaker 8: term ends.
Speaker 9: Let's hear more from that exchange Trump in Mil.
Speaker 12: Are you not going to comply with it? Well, we
Speaker 12: are the federal law. Well you better do it. You
Speaker 12: better do it because you're not going to get any
Speaker 12: federal funding at all if you don't. Your population doesn't
Speaker 12: want men playing in women's sports, so you better. You
Speaker 12: better comply because otherwise you're not getting any any federal funding.
Speaker 12: Every state. Good. I'll see you, coo. I look forward
Speaker 12: to that. That should be a really easy one. And
Speaker 12: enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll
Speaker 12: be in elected politics.
Speaker 8: So if you couldn't hear, if you couldn't hear the
Speaker 8: main governor, main governor Janet Mills what she was saying.
Speaker 8: She was basically Saint telling Trump that she will see
Speaker 8: him in court and that she's going to continue to
Speaker 8: comply with federal laws, to which Trump said in the
Speaker 8: audio you heard, yeah, I am the federal law.
Speaker 1: Why are folks still talking about trans athletes like that
Speaker 1: is a losing talking point because not with it, and
Speaker 1: they keep making a micro or macro with that conversation.
Speaker 1: It impacts such a small small group of people, but
Speaker 1: it makes a whole lot of people think folks like
Speaker 1: common sense. So why are they even having that conversation?
Speaker 1: And I can't believe it's states that still want to
Speaker 1: die on that hill, Like none of these states have
Speaker 1: a high percentage of trans athlete.
Speaker 4: So what do you what's the issue?
Speaker 8: Maybe it's just protecting the overall arching issue of trans rights,
Speaker 8: or you know, you know that's still a that's still
Speaker 8: an ongoing thing, that's still a developing issue.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know the probability, but I'm sure
Speaker 4: it's a higher probability if most people don't want you know,
Speaker 4: men played in women's sports, especially if they have daughters
Speaker 4: that you know, practice and that I'm sure it's.
Speaker 1: Just not a high percentage of trans athletes in the
Speaker 1: country period, so know, I know, state the state that
Speaker 1: have to be even smaller, you know.
Speaker 9: I'm not sure.
Speaker 8: Maybe they like to you know, they're just again getting
Speaker 8: ahead of the issue. But to your point, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 8: don't don't diewn the hill y'all are so much more
Speaker 8: we could we could talk about. But yeah, speaking of which,
Speaker 8: we'll talk more on at the seven o'clock hours. Seems

Speaker 7: the mother of Biggie Smalls, had passed away.
Speaker 1: Uh.

Speaker 7: that Saturday night. Uh, the NAACP Image Awards went down.
Speaker 7: It was hosted by Dion Cole and like, I loved
Speaker 7: watching it because so many people showed up this year,
Speaker 7: So if you missed it, please go back and watch
Speaker 7: it on BT.
Speaker 3: So many people showed up this year on Saturday this year.
Speaker 6: I said the same thing.
Speaker 7: But then I was talking to Eddie, one of our
Speaker 7: EP and he was saying that a lot of times
Speaker 7: the BT Awards, like the different awards that they do,
Speaker 7: are on Saturdays. I do feel like it should have
Speaker 7: been on a Sunday, how like other award shows normally are.
Speaker 7: But the SAG Awards also did come on yesterday as well,
Speaker 7: like Jane Vonda had a moment or whatever. So maybe
Speaker 7: that's why they couldn't do I don't know, but it
Speaker 7: was on a Saturday.
Speaker 6: Kicky Palmer.
Speaker 7: One Entertainer of the Year out sanding voiceover performance, Blue
Speaker 7: Ivy Carter and Mufasa out saying it actor in the
Speaker 7: motion picture, Martin Lawrence out saying it acting in a
Speaker 7: drama series, Michael Rainey Junior for Power Book two Ghosts,
Speaker 7: and y'all know fifty was going off about that. I
Speaker 7: think everybody was excited for him. Fifty said, I'm so
Speaker 7: happy for him. He's worked hard. In this moment, the
Speaker 7: NAACP is really all we got. We do bigger numbers
Speaker 7: than a lot of shows, but we don't get nominated
Speaker 7: because of diversity. Now, I did want to take a moment.
Speaker 7: I mentioned Key Palmer at the top of this, and
Speaker 7: she won Entertainer of the Year. She kind of spoke
Speaker 7: to with fifty is saying, as well, let's take a
Speaker 7: listen to Kekey Parmer.
Speaker 20: I didn't think I was gonna win because what.
Speaker 6: You killed that role?
Speaker 9: You killed every role you do.
Speaker 20: I mean, your power, your vulnerability, your strength.
Speaker 6: You are exceptional.
Speaker 20: Obviously, Sharnon my honkey Hunkie. You know, I let you
Speaker 20: Bookie and Ken Drake and Kevin. I mean, it's such
Speaker 20: an amazing category to be in with all these people.
Speaker 20: I just want to say, it's so important that we
Speaker 20: all come here together and celebrate one another with one another.
Speaker 20: You know, you don't always have to ask her to
Speaker 20: see at nobody table. Just make your own table with
Speaker 20: your votes.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 20: And so while we continue to ask for more money,
Speaker 20: it's important that we remember that what we choose and
Speaker 20: what we deem is important.
Speaker 6: Is enough?
Speaker 3: Is it a committee for the naacpmage awards?
Speaker 5: Like do people vote?
Speaker 17: Like?
Speaker 5: How do you win those awards? How do they determine
Speaker 5: who win those?
Speaker 7: How all awards ceremonies are But I don't know that
Speaker 7: to like to be fact, I can look at for you,
Speaker 7: but I'm pretty sure that there.
Speaker 6: Is a committee.
Speaker 3: Okay, And what did Chloe do? Did Chloe do anything?
Speaker 3: I know she can't pay with them?
Speaker 6: Yep, Chloe.
Speaker 7: Actually she presented Michael Rainey with his awards. She came

Speaker 7: att She looked amazing by the way, like she had
Speaker 7: on this solver dress.
Speaker 6: It was it was amazing, it was fire.
Speaker 1: So basically they wasted my cousin's time, had her going
Speaker 1: all around with them, you know what I'm saying, to
Speaker 1: do promo for the NAACP Awards, and just had her
Speaker 1: presenting award.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean they must have already had their host slated.
Speaker 7: So no, I don't remember seeing Chloe Bailly.
Speaker 5: Didn't do the pre carpet nothing.
Speaker 7: Everybody did the pre car You mean I didn't see
Speaker 7: her hosting a carpet. No, But again, there was a
Speaker 7: lot of one thing I did see, which I thought
Speaker 7: was so brilliant. Kyler Pratt was on the carpet for
Speaker 7: B E T and her and Kecky Palmer had a
Speaker 7: moment and I just and it was so dope to see,
Speaker 7: like just you know that we watched them on TV
Speaker 7: our whole lives. I thought that was really smart of
Speaker 7: BT as well. But I did not see Chloe hosting
Speaker 7: a carpet. Now, another person who was nominated, not nominated,
Speaker 7: but who was shown some love at the NAACP Image
Speaker 7: Awards was Dave Chappelle. He accepted the President's Award and
Speaker 7: he also talked about you know just how special these
Speaker 7: awards are.
Speaker 21: Listen, each and every artist in here, every opportunity we'd get,
Speaker 21: every time we're on camera on stage, we just keep
Speaker 21: chipping away at this monster of a machine. But tonight, man, tonight,
Speaker 21: I feel invigorated because all my Netflix checks cleared.
Speaker 5: I don't know anybody any work.
Speaker 11: Right now.
Speaker 21: Every time you see me, just know I'm only up
Speaker 21: there because I want to be right up there.
Speaker 5: That's important to say.
Speaker 1: That's amazing because he don't have to be nowhere that
Speaker 1: he don't want to that he doesn't want to be.
Speaker 5: So if he's there because he wants to be there.
Speaker 7: Now the the Wayne's family, so Marlon Damon. There was
Speaker 7: a ton of the Wayne's family out at the NAACP
Speaker 7: Image of Wards. They were inducted into the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 7: and they spoke as well too, and a lot of
Speaker 7: what they were talking about was like, really just a
Speaker 7: big nod to their brother Kenan Wayne. Let's take a
Speaker 7: listen to the Wayne's brothers.
Speaker 22: Eighteen sixty five, my brother Keenan Ivy and I watched
Speaker 22: young Richard Pryor make his television debut on The Ed
Speaker 22: Sullivan Show. Richard was animated and hilarious with very clean
Speaker 22: comedy routine. While I was seeing a funny comedian, Keenan
Speaker 22: was seeing his future.
Speaker 19: Keenan told Ma, he's leaving college to go be a comedian.
Speaker 19: My mother said, a comedian, boy, I've known you your
Speaker 19: whole life. You ain't never said nothing funny. Needless to say,
Speaker 19: my family was over the moon. Keenan first got his
Speaker 19: stand up Apparents on Johnny Carson. We all watched on
Speaker 19: a black and white TV from that day on me
Speaker 19: as a child, I sat there and I was like, Wow,
Speaker 19: you mean not only could you dream, but you can
Speaker 19: make your dreams come true.
Speaker 1: Man, drop on the clues bomb for the Wayne's family.

Speaker 24: the words of a distinguished NAACP founder, WB du Bois
Speaker 24: when he said, it is today that our best work
Speaker 24: can be done, and not some future day or future year.
Speaker 24: And this sense of urgency is what we must have today.

Speaker 8: Envy, Charlamagaye and Laura. Let's get back in see it okay?
Speaker 8: So the White House says that the Ukraine war could end.
Speaker 9: As soon as this week. That's good news, right.
Speaker 8: Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, so
Speaker 8: the President is very confident he can get the deal
Speaker 8: done this week, and they're focused on negotiations. A change
Speaker 8: in tone from last week where Trump suggested Ukraine is
Speaker 8: responsible for Russia's invasion and then when Zelensky wondered why
Speaker 8: he wasn't asked to attend US Russia peace talks in
Speaker 8: Saudi Arabia, Trump called Zelensky on social media a dictator
Speaker 8: without elections. So on Friday, or reporter asked Trump if
Speaker 8: he thought Putin was a dictator, and here's what he
Speaker 8: had to say.
Speaker 25: I think that President Putin and President Zelensky are gonna
Speaker 25: have to get together because, you know what, we want
Speaker 25: to stop killing millions of people. I want to see
Speaker 25: a cease fire, and I want to get the deal done.
Speaker 25: I think we have a chance to get the deal done.
Speaker 9: So more on this Ukraine poll.
Speaker 3: That was his answer to the Putin is the dictated question.
Speaker 9: Yes it is, That was his answer to the police.
Speaker 3: That's what he think.
Speaker 8: Yes he did, Yes, he did answer it. Okay, pretty much.
Speaker 8: So more on this. Ukraine's president, Vladimir Zelensky says he's
Speaker 8: ready to step down if it brings peace to his country.
Speaker 8: The Ukraine president made the offer at a news conference
Speaker 8: on Sunday, saying, if it is peace for Ukraine and
Speaker 8: you really want me to leave my post, I'm ready now.
Speaker 9: He said he would be willingly. He's he would.
Speaker 8: Willingly trade his position for immediate NATO membership. So if
Speaker 8: Zelensky steps down, that means that Ukraine will then become
Speaker 8: a member of NATO. So we'll keep well, Yeah, continue
Speaker 8: to watch that situation and see what happens with that.
Speaker 8: Another presidential news, the president is supposed to be meeting
Speaker 8: with French President Emmanuel Macrohn later this week at the
Speaker 8: White House. Switching here is a former Army chief of
Speaker 8: staff says President Trump's firing of the Chairman of Joint
Speaker 8: Chiefs of Staff is tremendously destabilizing to the US military.
Speaker 8: General Charles Brown Junior was fired on Friday night, and
Speaker 8: a move critics say was an effort by Trump to
Speaker 8: get rid of the diversity initiatives in the US military.
Speaker 9: Appearing on ABC's This Week.
Speaker 8: Retired General George Casey warned of the danger of sudden
Speaker 8: senior personnel changes, especially those who lead our military. Let's
Speaker 8: take a listen to retired General George Casey's comments.
Speaker 17: When you remove so many senior leaders, especially without justifying
Speaker 17: and giving due cause, it creates huge uncertainty in the ranks.
Speaker 17: That's extremely destabilizing at a time that's a lot going
Speaker 17: on domestically and a lot going on abroad.
Speaker 9: What do you guys think about that?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's interested with these conversations, right, And what
Speaker 1: I don't understand is if they are saying DEI means
Speaker 1: that a lot of people who lack experience are getting
Speaker 1: these positions. How are you firing actual experienced people but
Speaker 1: replacing them with people with less experience.
Speaker 8: I'm not sure that they're even necessarily being Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 8: I guess they would be replaced.
Speaker 9: But you know, how do you get I.
Speaker 1: Don't understand how you justify that of it, Like, how
Speaker 1: do you justify getting rid of you know, him?
Speaker 5: It's it's interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 8: I don't think you can. I really don't think you
Speaker 8: can justify it, even if you're saying it's for the purse.
Speaker 8: If it's you know, it's a bigger thing, and it's
Speaker 8: a matter of you know, this this this tax cuts.
Speaker 9: And all of these things.
Speaker 8: That's one of those Uh, that's one of those personnels
Speaker 8: that you can't justify cutting.
Speaker 9: You know, could find find it somewhere else by find
Speaker 9: the coin somewhere else, guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Charles Brown, that's it, right, Like you just retired
Speaker 3: at this point.
Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty much, Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I mean good
Speaker 8: on vacation. I guess I don't know, but all right, let.
Speaker 9: Me bring things home to you guys. In New York,
Speaker 9: the drama does continue. Uh.
Speaker 8: New York City Mayor Eric adams federal corruption trial is
Speaker 8: officially being delayed indefinitely, so a federal judge overseeing the
Speaker 8: cases considering a request by the Justice Department to drop
Speaker 8: the charges against Adams. This is the first update on
Speaker 8: Adam's case since the judge held a hearing on Wednesday.
Speaker 8: On Thursday, New York Governor at the Hope announced that
Speaker 8: she's putting limits on his power rather than remove him
Speaker 8: from office. Now, Hokal's decision comes after allegations that Adams
Speaker 8: made a deal to cooperate with Trump's immigration policies in
Speaker 8: exchange for the Department of Justice order to drop the
Speaker 8: federal case against him.
Speaker 9: Now, Hokal told CBS Faced.
Speaker 8: The Nation she doesn't want to undermine the will of
Speaker 8: the voters who elected Adams. Despite the outrage over the
Speaker 8: Justice Department ordering his corruption charges to be dismissed, she
Speaker 8: said she'll resist any attempt by President Trump's administration to
Speaker 8: influence politics in New York City.
Speaker 9: Let's hear more from New York Governor Kathy Hope.
Speaker 26: We are not allowing the Trump administration to interfere in
Speaker 26: the operations of our city. But I will always stand
Speaker 26: on the fact that we are a nation of laws,
Speaker 26: and one individual, the Governor of New York, should not
Speaker 26: use her voice and her will to override the will
Speaker 26: of the voters. We have an election in a few months,
Speaker 26: in a primary. I'm going to let the voters decide,
Speaker 26: but I'm also going to be very cognisant.
Speaker 9: I need to keep an eye in this situation.
Speaker 4: So yet, then Eric Adams just recently sued Trump. After
Speaker 4: after all that, then he sewed for like eighty million
Speaker 4: dollars or something like that.
Speaker 8: Yes, the eighty million dollars that the that I guess
Speaker 8: I want to say they took took. It was already
Speaker 8: a part of the New York budget, but it was taken.
Speaker 8: And yes, so Mayor Eric Adams is suing for that.
Speaker 8: There's not too many other updates outside of the fact
Speaker 8: that he has filed the lawsuit. But yeah, so coco,
Speaker 8: she says she She says she would rather allow this
Speaker 8: year's mayoral election to play out. Which the primary election
Speaker 8: for you guys in New York is June twenty third,
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five, So I'm sorry.
Speaker 9: June twenty fourth.
Speaker 8: Primary election day in New York is June twenty fourth,
Speaker 8: so you guys make sure you exercise.
Speaker 4: Your right to vote.
Speaker 8: Critics say that this order is part of a quid
Speaker 8: pro quo for Adam's core cooperation with the Trump administration
Speaker 8: on immigration. I really thought that we were going to
Speaker 8: be kind of done with this story once, you know,
Speaker 8: Holkle said she was just gonna limit his power, and
Speaker 8: but you know, it does seem that it's a it's
Speaker 8: a lot going on up there.
Speaker 9: So yeah, I will keep you posted. So that's your

Speaker 1: I had the lobster roll. The lobster roll was actually busting,
Speaker 1: but I was high, so I don't know. I'm to
Speaker 1: be honest. I had actually had two things. I got
Speaker 1: the lobster shrimp pasta with marin Ara Sauce, and I
Speaker 1: had the lobster role and the lobster Roid. I mean,
Speaker 1: both of them was good, but the lobster role was
Speaker 1: really good because I ate that later when I was high.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.

Speaker 4: we have Attorney Joe Tacopina, how are you feeling this morning?
Speaker 11: Tired but really good, really good. It was a five
Speaker 11: week war, but I've never been happier. And those two people,
Speaker 11: when I say those two people, Rocky ree Rihanna just
Speaker 11: such great people. Like got to know them over three years,
Speaker 11: really well at babysat for one of the kids won
Speaker 11: during her super Bowl performance. Wow, they're just good people.
Speaker 11: They're really for real good people. You know, you just
Speaker 11: listed a bunch of people I've represented. Rocky stands out
Speaker 11: badly as a terrific guy. Yeah. Really.
Speaker 1: You know it's interesting now people always when they when
Speaker 1: we see these cases, they always wonder how the client
Speaker 1: is doing right, like how is they sat?
Speaker 5: But I would think it's just.
Speaker 1: More mentally and emotionally draining for you as an attorney.
Speaker 11: You hit it, man, I mean, because look, obviously they
Speaker 11: have the stress of the unknown, right, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 11: It was, it was. It was a lot for me,
Speaker 11: but of course you know they suffer in a different way.
Speaker 11: It was one day re Rihanna brought the baby support
Speaker 11: and people thinking it was a ploy, like some sort
Speaker 11: of maneuver to get the droid to feel sympathy. George's
Speaker 11: feeling sympathy. They know he has a wife and kids.
Speaker 11: She worked the court because that could have been the
Speaker 11: last time he'd seen his kids for a decade or more.
Speaker 5: Wow that day, Wow, talk about that.
Speaker 11: That's why she brought them people that a prosecutor made
Speaker 11: a big deal of it in instormation, which I thought was
Speaker 11: a fatal mistake quite frankly.
Speaker 4: But what gave you the confidence that when they offered
Speaker 4: you that deal you said f that because the world
Speaker 4: was like, he's fixting twenty four he only have to
Speaker 4: do six months and three months community service.
Speaker 1: A black man in America. First thing I said, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, why take the dial?
Speaker 4: I was thinking, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking, Lad, They're
Speaker 4: gonna let him go in a day anyway, because the
Speaker 4: jails are overpopulated. So what gave you the confidence to
Speaker 4: be like, I mean, obviously you guys won, but you
Speaker 4: weren't scanning and be like, maybe we should just take
Speaker 4: this deal.
Speaker 5: And whose idea was it?
Speaker 11: Did not take the deal? Yeah, it was Rocky and
Speaker 11: I had a one minute conversation, literally one minute, rock
Speaker 11: here's offer. I don't want to do it. What do
Speaker 11: you think, let's go, oh, not that, So you didn't
Speaker 11: even think about it, like you we talked about for
Speaker 11: a second and then But it required him complete guilty
Speaker 11: of something they didn't do, right, required him to say,
Speaker 11: I'm guilty of a you know, assault with a semiter
Speaker 11: back weapon. Seven years suspended sentence, right, which means he's
Speaker 11: under the thumb for seven years five years probation. So
Speaker 11: if he crossed against the red they could take him back. Yeah,
Speaker 11: it's six months, which means three months. But it was
Speaker 11: a career ended for him.
Speaker 5: Deals and stuff.
Speaker 11: Gucci was gone. I mean might deal with Gucci for
Speaker 11: two years on this Gucci Puma. You know, all his shows,
Speaker 11: he couldn't travel out of the country, were felling convictions.
Speaker 11: It is a life changer for him, and more importantly,
Speaker 11: he maintains his instance from the minute I met him
Speaker 11: three years ago. Maintained his innocence. So it was it
Speaker 11: was a you know, it was really a quick decision. Yeah,
Speaker 11: people like this guy has onions doing that kind of stuff, right,
Speaker 11: how do you do that? But I also felt very confident.
Speaker 7: I know that there's a discovery, so you get to
Speaker 7: see like what the other side has, so that helps
Speaker 7: you like craft your defense and stuff like that. But
Speaker 7: at what point did you guys have everything like you
Speaker 7: knew everything upfront or where things added as things were going,
Speaker 7: We're like, you ever got nervous?
Speaker 10: Like hmm.
Speaker 3: They tried to tricky, they stowing, oh what about this?
Speaker 3: We forgot about this?
Speaker 11: About to take the jury, they came with a ballistics
Speaker 11: report that had been done a year and a half ago,
Speaker 11: and they said, oh, we just found this now we
Speaker 11: missed it. So I'm like, you're kidding me, right, and
Speaker 11: like that kind of those games happened throughout the trial,
Speaker 11: but you know whatever, I'm used to that kind of
Speaker 11: stuff and didn't face Look, I knew we had a defense.
Speaker 11: My defense was to eviscerate this asaparately, this this absolute
Speaker 11: pathological liar, and I eviscerate him in a way that
Speaker 11: you know, I told this jury, I said, you guys
Speaker 11: had a front row seat the history because you just
Speaker 11: witnessed the worst witness in the history of American jurisprudence.
Speaker 11: I mean, he imploded like and by the way, you know,
Speaker 11: I'm considered, you know, top cross examiner. Anyone could have
Speaker 11: done you know, you could cross examined him. I mean really,
Speaker 11: it was that the guy was was his home worst enemy.
Speaker 5: Have you ever met a man that couldn't rat right?
Speaker 11: Rat right? He cursed in a courtroom with a judge
Speaker 11: a jury. He cursed to the jury. He told the jury, Yeah,
Speaker 11: I lied because I didn't want to answer this guy's
Speaker 11: question that always annoying me.
Speaker 5: He said, you're annoying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was sorry.
Speaker 11: I don't mean to annoy I just want you thirty
Speaker 11: million dollars and you want to just leave. You don't
Speaker 11: want to answer questions like he shoot for thirty million
Speaker 11: dollars with knuckles scrapes. This guy's a clown and and
Speaker 11: he's a liar. He's a mid liar. He's admitted perjurer.
Speaker 11: He lied at least to this story twenty times and
Speaker 11: was caught I mean in perjury. I caught him in
Speaker 11: multiple At one point towards I said, oh, this is next.
Speaker 11: One's my favorite. This is a perjury mini series because
Speaker 11: it was it was like this series of lies about
Speaker 11: whether he shot a gun before November sixth to twenty
Speaker 11: twenty one, the day of the incident.
Speaker 1: The true of the police search the area didn't find noose,
Speaker 1: shell case all of a sudden, he came with a
Speaker 1: stupid story.
Speaker 11: So he's claiming Rocky shot too. Pops him and the
Speaker 11: Rocky did shoot too from a prop fun starkist the
Speaker 11: whole story as to why he had that, but if
Speaker 11: he shot two shots from a real nine millimeter ten
Speaker 11: minutes to seven cops game within ten minutes with search lights,
Speaker 11: those flashlights, they have bodycam. Thank god, they searched the
Speaker 11: exact spot where this incident happened. Seven cops twenty minutes,
Speaker 11: that's one hundred and forty minutes of manpower and they're looking.
Speaker 11: They find nothing, nothing, no evidence of a shooting though broke.
Speaker 11: There's a parking lot right next to it, no cars
Speaker 11: that would ding. Nothing. He claims it comes back now
Speaker 11: and forty five minutes later, goes to the exact same
Speaker 11: spot the cops were searching, bends down and finds the
Speaker 11: two shell cases.
Speaker 6: I mean, so what happened now?
Speaker 7: Because I know you mentioned when you walked up the
Speaker 7: court you want them to pursue him for perjury charges?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I want them through. They should. I mean the
Speaker 11: District Attorney's office was and should be embarrassed by this guy.
Speaker 11: I mean, he absolutely played them like a fiddle. We
Speaker 11: had a tape which she first is, by the way,
Speaker 11: a tape of him and a mutual friend of Rocky
Speaker 11: and rallies. And he said that there was a recording
Speaker 11: and he's and when he heard the beginning of the
Speaker 11: recording he realized what that was. He was like, Oh,
Speaker 11: that's fake. Get that away from it's fake. It's not
Speaker 11: my voice. It's it's it's Ai. It's like, that's fake.
Speaker 11: It's Ai. So then I had to call the poor
Speaker 11: guy who made the recording and Wally. Wally said, yeah,
Speaker 11: that's from Paris. It was in Paris's poor guy. So
Speaker 11: that's my voice, that's really's voice. He said this stuff.
Speaker 11: I know nothing about this case, but yes, I'm here
Speaker 11: authenticated tape. And on the tape, what really is saying
Speaker 11: is if he gives me thirty million, I'll dispute to
Speaker 11: an island and they'll never find me. D can never
Speaker 11: find me and they can't prosecute their case. You know,
Speaker 11: It's like, you know, and this is his example, not mine.
Speaker 11: It's like you know, when you when you smack your
Speaker 11: and she files charged against you. If she doesn't show up,
Speaker 11: the case is way weaker.
Speaker 3: Than that's what he said.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so that's his that's like where his mind goes to.
Speaker 11: But his thought was, I'm gonna disappear to an island,
Speaker 11: will never find me. So I stood behind the two
Speaker 11: disc attorneys. I was like, so they'll never find him
Speaker 11: like this, and then they just said they're like sleeking
Speaker 11: down in their chairs. I'm like, he tried to sell
Speaker 11: his criminal case for thirty million dollars. That's called extortion,
Speaker 11: so he should be prosecuted for extortion. He admitted perjury.
Speaker 11: He was caught other times committing perjury when he didn't
Speaker 11: admit it. This guy's a one man crime scree on
Speaker 11: the witness stand alone.
Speaker 7: Well what about this civil suit that really filed when
Speaker 7: everything first started moving, it was it's a defamation suit
Speaker 7: against Rocket.
Speaker 11: No, it's a salt suiting Rockey defamation studies against you.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, there's two of them. So do you guys,
Speaker 7: are you now want to submit to like file for dismissal.
Speaker 11: Look, I'm you know that case is running its course.
Speaker 11: I'm dealing with it on my own with Rocky rock
Speaker 11: Aster his soul case. I mean, that thing is on
Speaker 11: life support now. Obviously, I can't imagine this guy ever
Speaker 11: want to get back on a witness stand again, he
Speaker 11: can't withstand it. I mean, he was again a horrible witness.
Speaker 11: Even there are people inside that courtroom, you know, who
Speaker 11: are there, who are part of this process, who said,
Speaker 11: how do they proceed with this guy? And they did.
Speaker 11: We had a prosecutor who was help bent on winning,
Speaker 11: not doing justice, help bent on winning. And when he
Speaker 11: had that, it's a dangerous thing because you know they
Speaker 11: have the weight of law enforcement behind them, and you know,
Speaker 11: prosecute's job and I used to be one, it's not
Speaker 11: solely to just secure a conviction. To make sure you're
Speaker 11: doing right. And when a witness continually lies on a
Speaker 11: witness stand and purds himself and you know that they are,
Speaker 11: you know, sometimes okay to take a step back and reevaluate.
Speaker 15: All right.
Speaker 4: We have more with Joe Takapina when we come back.
Speaker 4: You know, he's a defense attorney for Asap Rocky. He's
Speaker 4: represented celebrities like Donald J. Trump, Michael Jackson, A Rod
Speaker 4: just to name a few. And we'll talk to him next.
Speaker 4: It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning Only, Everybody's DJ Envy,
Speaker 4: Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club
Speaker 4: Lawn La Ros are filling in for Jess and we're
Speaker 4: still kicking away. Attorney Joe Tacopina. He's the defense attorney
Speaker 4: for ASAP Rocky. He also represented celebrities like Meet Mills,
Speaker 4: yg Neo, Foxy Brown, Michael Jackson, Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump, now Charlamagne.
Speaker 5: The celebrity helper hurt.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of a little layered question, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, I asked the celebrity helper hurt in cases
Speaker 1: like this because I know when you're a juror, they'll
Speaker 1: ask you questions about Rocky.
Speaker 5: But did they asked the jurors about Rihanna?
Speaker 11: You know, they were obsessed with I loved it. I mean,
Speaker 11: they were just so obsessed with Rihanna. I didn't make
Speaker 11: a part of this case. She wasn't part of the case.
Speaker 11: The Durid knows who Rihanna is. They know who she
Speaker 11: is compared you know, in Religious Rocky. They saw her
Speaker 11: there every day, so I didn't need to inject her
Speaker 11: into the case to make it like we were playing
Speaker 11: on her celebrity status. Quite finally, only thing jurors were
Speaker 11: gonna acquit him because oh here's Rihanna. So let's be
Speaker 11: damn with the evidence. Let's just acquit him. But they
Speaker 11: were so obsessed with focusing on Rihanna.
Speaker 5: Oh, Rihanna.
Speaker 11: They don't you know, you have to treat everyone equally.
Speaker 11: It was because Rihanna's here, It's like, keep going, man,
Speaker 11: just keep going, keep reminding them that Rihanna is here,
Speaker 11: and talk about her. Because I did that, it would
Speaker 11: look like I was was pandering. I don't think that
Speaker 11: mattered at all, I honestly. I mean I think they
Speaker 11: looked at the evidence. I mean, look, if if Relly
Speaker 11: turned out to be a great witness and I couldn't
Speaker 11: destroy him like I did, I don't think the jury
Speaker 11: would care e. Rihanna was sitting there.
Speaker 7: The first couple of days though, of the of it,
Speaker 7: she wasn't there. But then she came that Wednesday, I
Speaker 7: believe it was that Wednesday, right. Why wasn't she there
Speaker 7: those first couple of days?
Speaker 11: I was the kids were in New York with her
Speaker 11: because the LA fires are still going okay, and they're
Speaker 11: very protective and she's a mother, hen you know, she's
Speaker 11: really protecting those boys. And the air quality was really
Speaker 11: bad that first week of that trial, and my eyes
Speaker 11: were like we walk out of court. I was staying
Speaker 11: downtown LA from so I had a two block walk
Speaker 11: to my hotel, and it was it was pretty bad.
Speaker 11: If you felt something, you smelled something. So I think
Speaker 11: it was an air quality issue. And she kept the
Speaker 11: boys away and she doesn't go anywhere else those kids,
Speaker 11: so she wasn't gonna leave them in New York and
Speaker 11: come here. So but she you know, we knew this
Speaker 11: was going to be a long trial. Yeah, so she
Speaker 11: made it.
Speaker 4: I was going to ask, you know, when you take
Speaker 4: a case, do you have to believe the person.
Speaker 11: I have to believe in the person.
Speaker 4: Okay, break that down.
Speaker 11: Yeah, So I don't prejudge anyone. I'm not the judge
Speaker 11: during extit. Right, I've represented people who have probably done
Speaker 11: what they've been accused of doing, but doesn't mean they're
Speaker 11: bad people and don't deserve representation. If we all had
Speaker 11: our worst ten minutes of our lives captured on video
Speaker 11: or something like that, I don't think we'd all be happy. Right.
Speaker 11: If I love a person or think they're really good
Speaker 11: people and they just made a mistake, I could deal
Speaker 11: with that. I'm not going to subborn perjury. I'm not
Speaker 11: going to make up a story, but I'll help them
Speaker 11: get through it. And that sometimes that means just mitigating
Speaker 11: the damage. Right. Sometimes with Meek's case, for example, right
Speaker 11: Meek when the crime he led guilty to it, but
Speaker 11: this judge in Philly was obsessed with him and had
Speaker 11: him under probation for over ten years. No one ever,
Speaker 11: he was a kid, he was a teenager when his
Speaker 11: crime was committed. Ten years later, he's still in the probation.
Speaker 11: If he came to court, White sox Boom two more
Speaker 11: years probation. She wanted him under his thumb. She wanted
Speaker 11: him to make a record about her. And it's like
Speaker 11: there was an issue going on there. So it wasn't
Speaker 11: like we were saying Meek was innocent, innocent, but he
Speaker 11: served his sentence and he was being abused by the
Speaker 11: system and the Districturney came around and agreed with us,
Speaker 11: and eventually I got that dismissed, resolved the case, and
Speaker 11: that judge was was relocated to a civil park.
Speaker 7: He was Did you know that the free Meek Meal
Speaker 7: movement was going to be as big as it was
Speaker 7: when you on to that, because it got it grew
Speaker 7: so insanely.
Speaker 11: That was crazy. No, because at first I didn't realize
Speaker 11: how big that was and how I loved that guy was,
Speaker 11: especially in Philly. I mean, he's like Rocky in Philly, right,
Speaker 11: And so I culture Reverend hal who I'm very close with,
Speaker 11: and the Reverend I said, can you come to Philly
Speaker 11: with me and to visit him in jail and maybe
Speaker 11: you make us stand here? This judge is really giving
Speaker 11: them once over. And you know, I did I need
Speaker 11: your help on this one. And Reverend said to me,
Speaker 11: one thing, is he a good guy? Joe? Am I
Speaker 11: getting embarrassed with see the good guys? No, no, Reverend,
Speaker 11: you will not get embarrassed here. It's worth it. He's
Speaker 11: a good guy. More important, he's getting he's getting run
Speaker 11: over by the system. And he has the wherewithal. He
Speaker 11: has a voice. You know that means ninety nine to
Speaker 11: the people in that system in Philly don't have that voice,
Speaker 11: don't have the wherewithal? And again trampled on. And it's
Speaker 11: true they reformed that whole probation system in Philadelphia because
Speaker 11: of meet in our case, it put a spotlight on it,
Speaker 11: you know, So it was an important case for a
Speaker 11: lot of reasons. So I take on these cases that
Speaker 11: I believe in. I've turned down a lot of cases,
Speaker 11: a lot of cases that could be lucrative or even
Speaker 11: very high profile. Harvey Winstein was one. You'd try to
Speaker 11: hire me and I wouldn't Why I told you that
Speaker 11: thing about having a bond with somebody, feeling that you know,
Speaker 11: people have charged some horrific things, But I liked that
Speaker 11: I could tell us it was good inside. The more
Speaker 11: I just had a good connection with them. You didn't
Speaker 11: feel that, I don't know, did not did not feel
Speaker 11: that with him?
Speaker 1: Real coold because because that's interesting, you represented Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and throwing me Daniel's case. Was there ever even a
Speaker 1: chance of you winning that? And the reason I asked
Speaker 1: that is because it was politicized, You.
Speaker 5: Know what I mean? It was politicized. It was all
Speaker 5: over the media.
Speaker 1: Everybody knew it was a target on Trump like they
Speaker 1: wanted to nail it.
Speaker 11: No doubt, that was not a case that would have
Speaker 11: been brought for anyone. And I mean that whether whatever
Speaker 11: your opinions are of Trump, I'm talking about the defendant.
Speaker 11: That case would never have been brought before. We're not him.
Speaker 11: It was a case of first impression, I wouldn't think
Speaker 11: about it. It was a settlement of a personal matter, right,
Speaker 11: an alleged fair, consensual nothing. But you know she was
Speaker 11: basically trying to get money from him to keep it quiet.
Speaker 11: He paid her. Whether it happened, didn't happen, tor relevant.
Speaker 11: He paid her some money. And of story, he didn't
Speaker 11: take a tax deduction on it. He didn't file it
Speaker 11: in his campaign thing. I mean, he paid personal money.
Speaker 11: Somehow they try and make that into a false filing
Speaker 11: in his own records. So because he put payment, legal
Speaker 11: feest or whatever in his internal records, this attorney charged him.
Speaker 4: When you take a step back, right, and I'm sure
Speaker 4: people have asked you a million and one times and
Speaker 4: you look at, for example, this Diddy case, would you
Speaker 4: do a lot of things different than his attorney's actually
Speaker 4: doing because it seems like they're already losing and it
Speaker 4: just it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3: What would you do different?
Speaker 11: Well, I wouldn't go out in the press and make
Speaker 11: pronouncements that are later disproved quickly because you sent the
Speaker 11: loose credibility. I mean, you know there's this whole thing,
Speaker 11: like the stupid baby oil thing, right, who cares personal.
Speaker 11: Baby had his right, but that became like this battle
Speaker 11: line and they went out and said, oh no, he
Speaker 11: just bought him in bulk at Costco right down the
Speaker 11: block from his house. And that's that's why he has
Speaker 11: it's a big, big dealing. But Baby, first of all,
Speaker 11: it's a thousand bottles. Don't buys a thousand bottles right
Speaker 11: roads in bold. But that was what he said, of
Speaker 11: course that. Then Costco then comes out of a statement, No,
Speaker 11: we've never sold baby lotion in our life.
Speaker 5: Jeesus, we don't.
Speaker 11: Not one Costco ever sold baby lotions. So boom, Now
Speaker 11: it looks like somebody's lying. You don't need that kind
Speaker 11: of stuff.
Speaker 7: On the Cassie video too, and they came out strong
Speaker 7: before the video dropped.
Speaker 3: That was before you charged.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Now look, here's the thing with the Cassie video that's horrible, cringeworthy. Right,
Speaker 11: you don't do that. You don't put your hand on
Speaker 11: a woman. I don't care what the story is, just
Speaker 11: I wouldn't anyway, not how I grow right, what does
Speaker 11: that have to do with these non consensual freak off things?
Speaker 11: What did that video have to do with that? Though?
Speaker 11: And I would say, well, and that's the one count
Speaker 11: of the trafficking. She's the one person in the trafficking count. Like,
Speaker 11: what does that video have to do? Okay, maybe you
Speaker 11: should be charged with domestic violence in state court, but
Speaker 11: what does that have to do with a non consentual
Speaker 11: freako For people are being alleged to have non consensual
Speaker 11: sex because they're drugged up and they're being gammed or whatever.
Speaker 11: I don't see why that video was so. Of course
Speaker 11: that video has been played and showed and people think like, oh,
Speaker 11: he's guilty, But he's guilty a lot assault of a
Speaker 11: woman who was his girlfriend. That doesn't make me guilty
Speaker 11: of everything else. Now, I don't know enough about the case.
Speaker 11: I was asked to take a look at the case
Speaker 11: as another case. I said I would not be interested.
Speaker 11: I just want.
Speaker 4: The same reason.
Speaker 11: Connection is it's different a little bit. I represent Rock Nation,
Speaker 11: a lot of people from Rock and very close with
Speaker 11: Jay and Desiret. Perez was most amazing, like love them,
Speaker 11: barmb up a boss, love amazing. You know, Jay Brown,
Speaker 11: all those people are just like there really are special,
Speaker 11: special people and they you know, that's sort of family
Speaker 11: to me. And you know, I don't think they're they're
Speaker 11: sort of.
Speaker 1: Yeah with P Diddy, I just want to throw that
Speaker 1: out there, because you remember everybody was saying when Jay
Speaker 1: said they weren't friends, everybody was like they were pictures
Speaker 1: together all the time.
Speaker 11: Everyone was a picture of Pete did at one time
Speaker 11: or another, I went to a party. But when things
Speaker 11: got real years and years ago.
Speaker 4: All right, we have more With defensive attorney Joe Taccapina,
Speaker 4: when we come back, is the breakfast Club, good Morning Morning.
Speaker 4: Everybody is the DJ Envy Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
Speaker 4: We are the breakfast Club, Lawn l Rosa, feeling in
Speaker 4: for it Jess, and we're still kicking it. With defense
Speaker 4: attorney Joe Tacopina, he's the attorney for Asaf Rocky. He
Speaker 4: represented celebrities like Donald J. Trump, Michael Jackson, a Rod,
Speaker 4: Meek Mill, just to name a few. So we were
Speaker 4: asking you about Diddy earlier. Do you think he should
Speaker 4: have got a bail? And do you think he didn't
Speaker 4: get a bail? Because should have got I break that
Speaker 4: down because I said the same thing. People thought I
Speaker 4: was crazy.
Speaker 11: No, no, what what he was willing. First of all,
Speaker 11: it was no mistake. I thought they made saying, oh,
Speaker 11: he'll have a ankle bracelet, and staying his mansion.
Speaker 6: In Miami and monitor who comes in.
Speaker 11: Case in New York, staying at a resource in Miami
Speaker 11: with a pool is not exactly really something I would
Speaker 11: offer up to the court. What I would have said.
Speaker 11: Remember that I dk asked the French guy who was
Speaker 11: charged here with hotels because named Dominic Strauss Khan his bail.
Speaker 11: He got bail, And the reason he got bail was
Speaker 11: he said, I'll rent the place here in New York,
Speaker 11: i will stay inside, I'll I'll pay for security, and
Speaker 11: I'll have a brace on. That's a concession. I think
Speaker 11: maybe if they had done that from the beginning, that
Speaker 11: may have been something that happened. You know, there's a
Speaker 11: presumptu of innocence that we still have to not work.
Speaker 11: You know, people have forgotten that in this country a lot.
Speaker 11: He is innocent right now he did he is innocent,
Speaker 11: whatever you think of him or everything. You know, the
Speaker 11: evidence would be no one's seen a minute of testimony.
Speaker 11: Yet he's presumed innocent until and unless the prosecution crves
Speaker 11: that case to be honors will doubt. They may do
Speaker 11: it one day, but not today and keep someone in
Speaker 11: jail for a year awaiting trial. They have to either
Speaker 11: be a flight risk or a danger community or they've
Speaker 11: done something so horrific like a murder right where you know,
Speaker 11: bail is not necessarily common. This is a case of
Speaker 11: having parties that got out of hand and there's allegations
Speaker 11: of you know, sexual miscombat.
Speaker 7: So for Diddy, would you have advised him if you were,
Speaker 7: if you were his attorney, when has he first reached
Speaker 7: out to just achieve?
Speaker 6: My god, just paid the money.
Speaker 11: Listen to that was a legal train record what happened
Speaker 11: with Diddy because this all could have been avoided. He
Speaker 11: had that case with Cassie, right, and it was all
Speaker 11: about a civil case. There was no prosecutores involved, no FBI, nothing.
Speaker 11: They wanted a settlement and you know, these lawyers said,
Speaker 11: you know no, they were close, no, but no, and
Speaker 11: they said, well, we're gonna file a lawsuit if you
Speaker 11: don't give us a settlement, and like, you know, go ahead,
Speaker 11: then bad, bad move. But it was an avalanche that
Speaker 11: came around him. And the only reason that happened is
Speaker 11: because they didn't sell that case civily. Because if that
Speaker 11: Cassie case was settled and went away and would have
Speaker 11: heard anything nothing. There were no other people coming after
Speaker 11: didty until that thing was filed.
Speaker 16: Right.
Speaker 11: But if so, if you're going to settle, you settled
Speaker 11: before they filed the lawsuits. That's what you're settling for,
Speaker 11: to prevent that public damage. Right, But you don't let
Speaker 11: them file it and then so the day later that's
Speaker 11: the worst of all worlds because then it's it's a
Speaker 11: mission and then.
Speaker 5: Bam, you worked under Michael jacks case.
Speaker 1: Is it true that Johnny Cochrane told Michael Jackson once
Speaker 1: don't settle with anybody because when you settle, you become
Speaker 1: a pigyment?
Speaker 11: Ye?
Speaker 3: Do you feel that way for all cases?
Speaker 11: Not for all cases. I think each case is different, right.
Speaker 11: You know, sometimes the settlement is a good thing, not
Speaker 11: because you did it or because you want a mission.
Speaker 11: But take Diddy as an example. Sometimes the settlement will
Speaker 11: save more money than you could ever imagined later and
Speaker 11: more heartache.
Speaker 5: Well he actually did it.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about people who because I've seen cases where
Speaker 1: people would settle just because they don't want the bad
Speaker 1: press and they don't want to end up spending a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of money and court for the next four
Speaker 1: or five years.
Speaker 11: And I've represented some very very famous people without the
Speaker 11: case ever become public, that have settled because it's not
Speaker 11: worth it. People do settle all the time, what's called
Speaker 11: the nuisance settlement, just to make sure that they don't
Speaker 11: wind up on the front pigeon or a post DMZ
Speaker 11: and you know, on the breakfast level.
Speaker 7: I just saw just now that is at Rocky was
Speaker 7: named the first ever creative director of RayBan.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I remember after the case happened, you talked about telling
Speaker 7: of Gucci to hold off on the Gucci guilty, which
Speaker 7: is an amazing sent and by the way, but for me,
Speaker 7: when I heard you talk about that, and I'm seeing
Speaker 7: this now, I think about, even though he was proven innocent,
Speaker 7: were there people who walked away, like in the midst
Speaker 7: of this, No, everybody's sitting.
Speaker 11: I deal with all of them. I mean I was
Speaker 11: like on conference call of Comfortable, Gucci, Puma, all these
Speaker 11: different brands who worked with Rocky, who wanted to know
Speaker 11: what was going on, giving them up, they said, I
Speaker 11: would tell them we're gonna win, We're gonna win, We're
Speaker 11: gonna wind, but you gotta wait. Gucci Guilty was my
Speaker 11: biggest heart attack was the both fens to be called
Speaker 11: the Colonne Gucci guilty, and they wanted to roll it
Speaker 11: out before Valentine's Day. I'm like, now would miss the
Speaker 11: middle of the trial. I'm gonna be summing up on
Speaker 11: Valentine's Day. Can you do me a favor and just
Speaker 11: wait another week? They're like, what Valentine's I'm like, I
Speaker 11: don't get they call it Gucci not guilty. How about that?
Speaker 11: Put it a little not in there and then let
Speaker 11: it roll. But you can't call it Gucci guilty. So
Speaker 11: what they did was we compromised. They put the ad
Speaker 11: out with Rocky in it holding the bottle Colone, and
Speaker 11: there was no Gucci guilty. It was just the Colone
Speaker 11: and Rocky. But if you looked at the bottle, had
Speaker 11: to get real close, it would say Guci guilty on
Speaker 11: the bottle. But they didn't put those big letters. Now
Speaker 11: there's all the big letters and now I don't care, right,
Speaker 11: got so, so that was nuts.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite movies, Devil's Advocate Keanu Reeves, you
Speaker 1: know al Pacino, and you know in that movie, can
Speaker 1: Of replayed the character named Kevin and he's representing somebody,
Speaker 1: but in the midst of representing them, he realized, oh guilty.
Speaker 1: Remember the dudes, have you ever been in a situation
Speaker 1: like that, like in the myst of it, you like,
Speaker 1: I mean I think this muff actually did it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it wasn't this case. Oh look,
Speaker 11: I've tried one hundred and twenty Georgie trials and so
Speaker 11: I again, chunk of those was the prosecutor. But there's
Speaker 11: been times where you know, I believed that since then
Speaker 11: I saw some evidence halfway through. Its like, but you know,
Speaker 11: at that point you're just fighting them all.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 11: All you can do at that point is if they
Speaker 11: don't want to take it please, you could just challenge
Speaker 11: the evidence, which is constitutionally what you have to do. Right,
Speaker 11: someone could be guilty. But also the entitles were not
Speaker 11: guilty verdict And that's how I was weird to people.
Speaker 11: But the reason that's true is because if the proof
Speaker 11: isn't there, if the prosecution has met their burden the
Speaker 11: prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, the person's entitled
Speaker 11: we're not guilty vert the communities in tout the we're
Speaker 11: not guilty verdic the system isn't tout we're not guilty verdict.
Speaker 11: You know, we're not a perfect system. But what you
Speaker 11: definitely don't want is we start cutting corners for people
Speaker 11: we know are guilty because that's rich or jewel. That's
Speaker 11: what starts happening. Oh they're guilty, so we're you know,
Speaker 11: constitutional safeguards are we can cheat a little bit here
Speaker 11: and there. That's when innocent people start getting clipped. And that,
Speaker 11: to me is the worst thing that could ever happen.
Speaker 11: When I representing people who are purely innocent, that's the
Speaker 11: worst thing for me because then I'm dealing with like
Speaker 11: a pressure that is just enormous. And you know, if
Speaker 11: you don't win that case, you feel it's like burden
Speaker 11: for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: If you know somebody's guilty and still represent them in Wayne,
Speaker 1: that isn't that a burden to though?
Speaker 11: No, No, because that means the system worked. That means
Speaker 11: the system worked. It means the proof wasn't there. It's
Speaker 11: almost I'm not so borning perjury, which I would never
Speaker 11: do as long as I'm not making somebody say something
Speaker 11: that's not true. If this someone's guilty and I think
Speaker 11: they're guilty, but they were found not guilty. That means
Speaker 11: the proof was there, and we need that person who
Speaker 11: found not guilty because it keeps the system strong, keeps
Speaker 11: all of us safe. Again, lowering stands for the ones
Speaker 11: we know are guilty, that's when innocent people start getting convicted,
Speaker 11: and that's bad. So I can live with that as
Speaker 11: long as the system was put to the test and
Speaker 11: I've done my job, is what it is. The worst
Speaker 11: thing is if you represent someone who's truly truly innocent,
Speaker 11: you know that truly innocent, and they're being either framed,
Speaker 11: set up, or for whatever reason, there is an agenda.
Speaker 11: You know, that's that's the stuff that you lose sleepover
Speaker 11: because God forbid that convicted. I mean, just like, how
Speaker 11: do you deal with that? How do you carry that
Speaker 11: with you? So fortunately I've not had that happen. I
Speaker 11: represent a lot of innocent, truly innocent people. They've all
Speaker 11: been vindicated, thank god, because if I had that happen,
Speaker 11: that would be something that would be very tough to
Speaker 11: go on with.
Speaker 4: Well, we we definitely gonna keep your number because if
Speaker 4: we see any cases that we don't understand, we might
Speaker 4: need to call to break some things down for some.
Speaker 6: Time I called you before I got you on the phone.
Speaker 3: That's right, Well, Joe, Joe tackle Pena is the breakfast Club.
Speaker 5: Good morning.
Speaker 3: Let's get right to jess with the mess.
Speaker 9: Few meslions, Jessica Robber Moore, just.
Speaker 18: Don't do no lines, don't de.
Speaker 1: Talky talk station world why jes worldwide mass.
Speaker 2: On the breakfast clubs, the coaching sits with Lauren, Lauren.
Speaker 3: And I got the mess talk Tommy.
Speaker 6: Okay, y'all.
Speaker 7: So Attorney Busby, who is the attorney that has all
Speaker 7: of those civil suits against Diddy, he did have a
Speaker 7: civil suit in court that he amended to include jay Z,
Speaker 7: but that was voluntarily dismissed a few weeks ago. Now,
Speaker 7: this over the weekend, I broke a story. If you
Speaker 7: guys are following me anywhere Instagram, Twitter, at Laura la Rosa,
Speaker 7: we break news and we were outside of the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 7: I broke a story that the Committee of Grievances with It,
Speaker 7: which is like an ethics committee. Essentially, they have denied
Speaker 7: Attorney Busby's right to practice within the Southern District of
Speaker 7: New York. Now this is a huge because majority of
Speaker 7: these civil cases that he currently has on record against
Speaker 7: Diddy are in the Southern District of New York. So
Speaker 7: if he is not able to move forward with them,
Speaker 7: they would either you would have to file to be
Speaker 7: able to come in on these cases pro hac vice,
Speaker 7: and we'll talk about.
Speaker 6: What that means, but it's a big issue now.
Speaker 7: In response to this, when the news broke, Attorney Busby
Speaker 7: posted something to his Instagram, and what he posted was
Speaker 7: that it was a appellate division from something from the
Speaker 7: Your Pelt Division of the Supreme Court of the State
Speaker 7: of New York.
Speaker 6: And this basically.
Speaker 7: Says that he does have a right to practice or
Speaker 7: he has a mission in the New York State Court,
Speaker 7: but it's basically a jurisdiction thing, but he does not
Speaker 7: have permission. His permission to practice within the Southern District
Speaker 7: of New York has been denied.
Speaker 6: Now, like I mentioned, it's a big issue.
Speaker 7: And because of that, the judge who's on a lot
Speaker 7: of those civil cases that it fought against Puff said
Speaker 7: to him, Hey, I think that you should try to
Speaker 7: right now come in on these cases against Sean Combs
Speaker 7: as pro hague vice. And I told you guys that
Speaker 7: I would let you know what that meant. So pro
Speaker 7: Hague vice is basically so this is like on or
Speaker 7: four occasions. So basically it's like him saying, hey, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna be involved in these cases just solely this one time,
Speaker 7: but there may be other local attorneys or whoever that have.
Speaker 7: You know, they're barding these jurisdictions to be able to
Speaker 7: move forward with this just because if not, it looks
Speaker 7: like because basically the committee's the community who denied it,
Speaker 7: they were basically not upset. But what they leaned on
Speaker 7: was the fact that in a lot of the other
Speaker 7: cases before the one that jay Z was involved in
Speaker 7: came to light, that there was no admission process I
Speaker 7: guess properly done. He had still continued to do whatever
Speaker 7: he was doing without submitting these things, and he had
Speaker 7: submitted the one, particularly for a jay Z's case, on
Speaker 7: January twenty nine. So they're basically telling him, like, you're
Speaker 7: not following like these easy rules and protocols, so you
Speaker 7: can't work here anymore. He's saying that this is not true,
Speaker 7: and that you know, he's crossed his t's and dotted
Speaker 7: his eyes, so he's going to be fine moving forward.
Speaker 5: So how is it not true?
Speaker 1: How can he come out and say it's not true.
Speaker 7: Well, what he specifically said is that he said he
Speaker 7: received any press increase over the weekend, and he makes
Speaker 7: no efforts to respond, But he'd rather make a one
Speaker 7: time general statement and let various entities use a statement
Speaker 7: as they see fit. Over the past week, he's got
Speaker 7: multiple increase from friends and colleagues asking why he's not
Speaker 7: barred or why he's barred from practicing law in New
Speaker 7: York State and offering their assistance. He says that he
Speaker 7: wants to make it clear he's licensed to practice law
Speaker 7: in New York. He's in good standing with the state
Speaker 7: bar and have always been. Although he prefers Texas, he's
Speaker 7: proud of the legal legal work that he's doing in
Speaker 7: New York, and he called all of the reports clickbait. Now,
Speaker 7: I will say, when I released this story, it was
Speaker 7: from an actual document, a court document that was from
Speaker 7: the Grievances Committee. And what I think he's going to
Speaker 7: try and argue here, what he's going to have to
Speaker 7: do to reverse this if he can. I don't even
Speaker 7: know if that's possible, is just show that there was
Speaker 7: some proof I guess of him submitted these admissions.
Speaker 6: But I think right now, in my opinion, I'm not
Speaker 6: an attorney.
Speaker 7: What he's doing is he's using like technical terms to
Speaker 7: try and talk around the fact. The fact is is
Speaker 7: that this committee is saying, you didn't follow rules within
Speaker 7: the Southern District of New York and that's a problem,
Speaker 7: and no, you cannot lead this like we need you
Speaker 7: to come in.
Speaker 4: So what happens to all the people that he has
Speaker 4: as soon did he do? They have to go to
Speaker 4: another day to find another attorney?
Speaker 7: No, So what'll happen if from from what I understand,
Speaker 7: if the pro hac vice thing does happen, he'll still
Speaker 7: be able to be involved, but he just he will
Speaker 7: be working with more local attorneys that are actually okay
Speaker 7: in that jurisdiction. If not, I don't know what happens.
Speaker 7: I don't know how he litigates. And if that does happen,
Speaker 7: I have no idea what happens then, got you? But yeah,
Speaker 7: so that back and forth is happening right now. But
Speaker 7: also too with puff right now, over the weekend or
Speaker 7: this Monday, his team filed something that I thought was interesting.
Speaker 7: They filed they're pushing back on the criminal side. They're
Speaker 7: saying that all of the evidence that the police the
Speaker 7: prosecutor's office gathered in those raids need to be suppressed.
Speaker 7: Suppressed with mean that you can't use it in court.
Speaker 7: And they're basically saying that the reason why this stuff
Speaker 7: should be suppressed is that in order to obtain the
Speaker 7: search warrants that they did. They're accusing the prosecutor's office
Speaker 7: of using witnesses that they basically knew weren't credible, witnesses
Speaker 7: that they knew basically didn't have like really good grounds
Speaker 7: to stand on. They talk about Cassie particularly in saying
Speaker 7: that they now have proof that everything that the prosecutor's
Speaker 7: office said about her involvement on these tapes or whatever
Speaker 7: was consensual. So to use that to make it look
Speaker 7: anything but potential to then get a search warrant is illegal,
Speaker 7: And they're saying that if it isn't suppressed, they want
Speaker 7: to have a hearing to just look into the prosecutor's
Speaker 7: conduct of how they got the search warrant to get
Speaker 7: this information. So they're like, Yo, we need to take
Speaker 7: a and I think they're doing this because this other
Speaker 7: case just got dismissed on the other side, so that
Speaker 7: probably going to try and leaning of.
Speaker 5: That, well, what happened to racism? Wasn't racism? Was it
Speaker 5: racism last week?
Speaker 6: Yes? Racism last week? This week?
Speaker 7: It is that they violated his Uh, the way that
Speaker 7: that they got the search warrant was incorrect.
Speaker 6: I mean he's gonna look saying he's fighting for us.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he just recently had an attorney who backed
Speaker 7: off the case and said that, you know, I don't
Speaker 7: want to be involved. It's not the lead attorney. It's
Speaker 7: not Mark Agnefilio. It was a different guy, but he
Speaker 7: backed off and said he didn't want to be involved anymore.
Speaker 7: So I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 4: But they said that was about you. Did you check
Speaker 4: to see any sources about that?
Speaker 11: Lord?
Speaker 5: I wanted to know why did he back and off
Speaker 5: the case.
Speaker 4: They said that he was arguing with the I guess
Speaker 4: the main attorney like him and the main attorney didn't
Speaker 4: get along and they were seeing differently.
Speaker 3: Was that what happened?
Speaker 11: That's what I read.
Speaker 7: So they're saying that there's been a power struggle. His
Speaker 7: name is Anthony Rico. He says that there's been a
Speaker 7: power struggle going on between him and lead attorney Mark
Speaker 7: Agnefilio for several months and it finally came to a head.
Speaker 1: He says, somebody got to be the top and somebody
Speaker 1: got to be the bottom. There you go, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: somebody be a situation.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 6: You got to play your position. You got no win
Speaker 6: to be winning the lynn.
Speaker 3: Now what.
Speaker 6: I never heard that. I know you heard that one, Charlamagne.
Speaker 1: I ain't never heard that in my lane. But I've
Speaker 1: heard them all, but I ain't never heard you got
Speaker 1: to know when to been and win the lynn. I
Speaker 1: like that though, You.
Speaker 7: Like that, daddy, Look, yeah, coming coming back to it, though,
Speaker 7: I don't want to say that. This whole thing with
Speaker 7: attorney Buzz people, we will be watching because I'm very
Speaker 7: interested to see what will happen in this. And again
Speaker 7: I'm not an attorney, but from what it seems, the
Speaker 7: Southern District of New York.
Speaker 4: Is tied to him right now because he has the
Speaker 4: majority of the accusers.
Speaker 7: Yeahs over over one hundred accusers civilly on the civil side.
Speaker 3: But again, remember it's not looking good.
Speaker 7: The the amended filing with jay Z that also has
Speaker 7: yeah for Busby that also you know has something to
Speaker 7: do with the as well, was voluntarily dismissed, which is
Speaker 7: a big like there's a question mark when that happens
Speaker 7: with no settlement, it's like, who what are you admitting
Speaker 7: to hear what's happening to Lauren?
Speaker 1: I would love to hear what the criminal attorneys think
Speaker 1: of the civil attorneys. And what I mean by that
Speaker 1: is when you're trying to fight a criminal case, right
Speaker 1: and you know you're putting together a jury. A lot
Speaker 1: of times, not even a lot of times, in this situation,
Speaker 1: it feels like the civil case is alloweder than his
Speaker 1: actual criminal case.
Speaker 3: Because they're more descriptive out of the box.
Speaker 7: Were learning where we haven't heard nothing about the criminal side.
Speaker 7: I remember that we don't don't we don't know who's
Speaker 7: on the tapes, we don't know what like we we
Speaker 7: still don't know a lot about that.
Speaker 4: But you know, in surprisingly most times, people wait, like
Speaker 4: most attorneys will wait till after the criminal to start
Speaker 4: doing all the civil stuff because they're waiting to see what,
Speaker 4: you know, what evidence they have and what they can use.
Speaker 3: It's weird that it seems like they're trying to get
Speaker 3: that money sooner than later.
Speaker 5: But no, yes, that's true.
Speaker 1: But I just wonder what criminal what the criminal attorneys
Speaker 1: think of what's what's going on civilly and how that
Speaker 1: affecting their criminal case.
Speaker 7: And I will say, Attorney Busby has been an attorney
Speaker 7: for some time. I'm not an attorney. And I keep
Speaker 7: saying that because when I tell y'all, this is a
Speaker 7: very beginner mistake. So I am very interested to see
Speaker 7: how this plays out. This is a very beginner mistake.
Speaker 7: If he had just done this earlier, like put in
Speaker 7: the emissions and everything he was supposed to do, we
Speaker 7: wouldn't even be here right now having this conversation. So
Speaker 7: I am extremely interested to see how this plays out.
Speaker 7: And it does not look good for those other civil
Speaker 7: suits if it doesn't play out well in his favor.
Speaker 4: Right, all right, Well that is just with the mess
Speaker 4: with Lalla Rosa charlaae.
Speaker 3: Yes, we'll give it that donkey too.
Speaker 1: Man, Well, this morning, we need the world's richest man,
Speaker 1: Elon must to come to the front of the congregation.
Speaker 5: We'd like to have a word with him police.
Speaker 3: Right, we'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club.
Speaker 3: Good morning wake.
Speaker 11: If you're liked into the.
Speaker 1: Breakfast club, some donkey today is just suddensete.
Speaker 5: Man ready, I never heard them.
Speaker 3: Donkey other day said again.
Speaker 5: Charlamn iduncan, Yes you are.
Speaker 1: Charlote, Yes, Donkey today for Monday, February twenty fourth goes
Speaker 1: to the richest man in the world, Elon Musk. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know who people voted for in twenty twenty four. Okay,
Speaker 1: some of us voted for Vice President Kamala Harris. Some
Speaker 1: people clearly voted for the forty seventh President of the
Speaker 1: United States of America, Donald J.
Speaker 5: Trump.
Speaker 3: Some people voted for the Green Party. Some people vote
Speaker 3: in candidates.
Speaker 1: But I know one person folks didn't vote for, and
Speaker 1: that person is the richest man in the world, Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: But for some reason, Elon Musk, who was an immigrant
Speaker 1: from South Africa. For some reason, this man is in
Speaker 1: control of how the government spends his money. Not only
Speaker 1: is he in control of how the government spends his money,
Speaker 1: he's the reason that over twelve thousand federal workers have
Speaker 1: been fired as part of the Trump's administration's broad effort
Speaker 1: to slash the federal workforce of two point three million people.
Speaker 1: How do you feel knowing that you are a federal
Speaker 1: worker who voted for Donald J.
Speaker 5: Trump and in his first thirty days. You're out of
Speaker 5: a job.
Speaker 1: Elections do indeed have consequences, and sadly, because of a
Speaker 1: choice you made, you have to live unemployed with those consequences.
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me how they are just playing with
Speaker 1: people's lives. Though you can't just cut people's jobs indiscriminately, okay.
Speaker 1: For example, they fired hundreds of employees from the National
Speaker 1: Nuclear Security Administration. These are people who oversee the stockpile
Speaker 1: of nuclear weapons, okay.
Speaker 4: And then they.
Speaker 1: Realized, wait, wait wait, wait wait wait wait, we need
Speaker 1: these people.
Speaker 11: Okay.
Speaker 1: They tried to rehire them because their dismissal could jeopardize
Speaker 1: national security. All right, Elon Muskin and Trump administration also
Speaker 1: fired employees who worked on the bird flu response okay,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to rehire them as well.
Speaker 5: It's a mess.
Speaker 1: I personally don't understand how an administration. How an administration
Speaker 1: can say they are America first, but they have a
Speaker 1: South African immigrant causing pain to so many Americans.
Speaker 5: That is not what they voted for.
Speaker 1: But this weekend on X, of course, Elon Musk suggested
Speaker 1: that workers could lose their jobs if they didn't respond
Speaker 1: to an email blast from the Office of Personnel Management
Speaker 1: asking for a list of five things they did in
Speaker 1: the past week.
Speaker 5: I repeat.
Speaker 4: Elon Musk suggested that workers.
Speaker 1: Could lose their jobs if they didn't respond to an
Speaker 1: email blast from the Office of Personnel Management asking for
Speaker 1: a list of five things they did in the past week.
Speaker 1: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go
Speaker 1: to NBC News for the report. Police, what did you
Speaker 1: do last week? That's the question.
Speaker 10: Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency Team insists
Speaker 10: all federal workers must answer in an email, Musk adding
Speaker 10: on a social media platform X that failure to respond
Speaker 10: will be taken as a resignation. Three sources to NBC
Speaker 10: News those emails were already being received by federal employees Saturday,
Speaker 10: asking them to send five bullet points of what they
Speaker 10: accomplished last week, but noting employees should not include classified information.
Speaker 10: The deadline for applying except for Monday at eleven fifty
Speaker 10: nine pm.
Speaker 5: Now listen.
Speaker 1: I have to give credit to Toci Gabbert and Cashpttel.
Speaker 1: Toci is the US Director of National Intelligence and Cash
Speaker 1: Betel is the new FBI Director, and they joined the
Speaker 1: growing list of department heads who have told the employees
Speaker 1: to ignore the request from Elon Muskin Doge because yes,
Speaker 1: why is anyone listening to him? Okay, not just those
Speaker 1: two individuals, though, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of
Speaker 1: Defense of Pete Hegseth, and Department of Homeland Security chief
Speaker 1: Christy Nome. They've all told employees the disregard okay, disregard
Speaker 1: that email because at some point, someone with some sense
Speaker 1: has to reject the oligarchy, all right.
Speaker 5: The billionaires don't run America. Working class people do.
Speaker 1: And if you are an official in the govern you
Speaker 1: work for working class people because trust and belief, Americans
Speaker 1: will remember who caused them pain and there will be
Speaker 1: backlash at some point. Not to mention, I believe that
Speaker 1: someone needs to check Donald Trump's to pay to make
Speaker 1: sure there isn't one of Elon must Neuralink's devices in there. Okay,
Speaker 1: something isn't right, all right. Elon has some sort of
Speaker 1: mind control over Donald Trump. And every time Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is in a press briefing, one simple question should come up,
Speaker 1: and that question is who is the real President of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Every time he's in a
Speaker 1: press briefing, when one of y'all get an opportunity to
Speaker 1: answer to ask a question. Y'all should ask that every
Speaker 1: single time because we know who it is on paper,
Speaker 1: but who's really.
Speaker 5: Calling the shots?
Speaker 1: Elon and Trump are giving record label owner artists vibes. Okay,
Speaker 1: Watching Elon, you know, stand next to Trump is like
Speaker 1: watching Birdman stand next to Wayne back in the day.
Speaker 1: It's like watching did he stand next to Big back
Speaker 1: in the day. It's like watching Yo Gotti and Glorilla. Now,
Speaker 1: no matter how hot the artists is, you can clearly
Speaker 1: see who's in charge. Now here's the reason Elon Musk
Speaker 1: absolutely deserves this. He haw Okay, this man said on
Speaker 1: yesterday that he was just eager to see who had
Speaker 1: a post and two working neurons amid the claims that
Speaker 1: some government employees are barely working are.
Speaker 5: Checking their emails.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you worked in government and you
Speaker 1: are in charge of things that could put this country's
Speaker 1: national security at risk, You are in charge of containing
Speaker 1: diseases that could kill millions of people, and you have
Speaker 1: an unelected immigrant from another country playing which you on
Speaker 1: a weekend. We have to start putting some things in perspective.
Speaker 1: And one thing we need to put in perspective is
Speaker 1: we are post America. Okay, we are post constitution. This
Speaker 1: isn't about republican a democrat. This is about democracy or
Speaker 1: no democracy. And I don't know what the political solution
Speaker 1: is to this problem because we aren't dealing with the
Speaker 1: democracy that we once knew. And untill we the people
Speaker 1: identify and realize what game is actually being played at
Speaker 1: our expense, we will continue to loose. Please give the
Speaker 1: oligark in chief Elon Musk, the biggest he hull.
Speaker 3: All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.
Speaker 6: That's so sad.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's.

Speaker 1: my life. I had to fight pictures you. You ain't
Speaker 1: even got to worry about that.
Speaker 6: Ain't not the medium ugly about me?
Speaker 7: I mean it depends on because when we posted this before,
Speaker 7: people was in my comments like, she must not know
Speaker 7: she medium ugly, And I'm like, hey, you know.
Speaker 3: So you heard this phrase before.
Speaker 4: Mediumugmy not to me in real life.
Speaker 6: Don't play with me.
Speaker 7: People in the comments is trying to be funny, but yes,
Speaker 7: we do have Jess with the Mess coming up. IRV
Speaker 7: Gotty's brother Chris Gotti talked a bit more about IRV
Speaker 7: Gotty's passing and what actually was, you know, the reasoning
Speaker 7: behind his passing.
Speaker 6: So we're gonna talk about that.
Speaker 3: All right, We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Warning, everybody is stej NV, Jess,
Speaker 4: Hilarrys charlamage to God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's
Speaker 4: get to Jess with the Mess.
Speaker 9: You is real, whether it's jes Ca, Robin Moore, Jas,
Speaker 9: don't do no line.
Speaker 14: Don't do.
Speaker 6: Nobody?
Speaker 5: Why Jess World?
Speaker 3: While matter.
Speaker 2: On the Breakfast Club, the coach says with l Lauren Ros.
Speaker 4: I'm back and I got the mess talked to me?
Speaker 7: Okay, So IRV Gotty's brother, Chris Gotti, he sat down
Speaker 7: on a platform called two Way, and on this platform
Speaker 7: he talked with Dame Dash who was also a special guest.
Speaker 7: And it was a special that they did on how
Speaker 7: to cope with Strokeris and diabetes, and they did it
Speaker 7: in memory of IRV Gotti. Let's take a listen to
Speaker 7: what Chriscotti had to say about Earth Gotty's passing.
Speaker 5: When was your brother diagnosed with diabetes?
Speaker 18: Wow, so he's fifty four. I believe he's diagnosed when
Speaker 18: he was in his forties. But Earth doesn't go to
Speaker 18: the doctor. So that's why he's so late being diagnosed.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 18: And then when he finally did go get a real
Speaker 18: physical in the check of execure, diabetic and he didn't
Speaker 18: believe it. IRV was type one, actually started with type two,
Speaker 18: developed into type one. And when we talk about this topic,
Speaker 18: why so it's deer and sensitive for me is I
Speaker 18: watched him suffer in the last three years and his life.
Speaker 18: Sadly enough, he did go on his terms. He just
Speaker 18: didn't believe it, and he was like, I'm going to
Speaker 18: go away. Basically I wanted. He ate a bunch of
Speaker 18: Chinese food while playing poker and had a massive hemorrhotic stroke,
Speaker 18: which is bleeding on the brain.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so a hemorrhotic stroke by definition occurs on the
Speaker 7: blood vessel on the brain burst and causes the bleeding
Speaker 7: as he mentioned. And I know some people have questions
Speaker 7: about the difference between type one and type two. Per
Speaker 7: what I see on Google, the difference is how the
Speaker 7: body processes the insulin, and type one diabetes, the bodies
Speaker 7: immune system attacks and destroys the cells and the pancreas
Speaker 7: and that produced the insulin, meaning and cannot make the
Speaker 7: insulin at all. While type two diabetes go ahead, no,
Speaker 7: go ahead, well, type type two diabetes, the body still
Speaker 7: produces the insulin, but the cells come resistant to its effects.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I never heard of what did he say, type
Speaker 5: one became two? I never I know that he said.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I do know.
Speaker 7: Some people were disputing that as why I I don't
Speaker 7: know that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure some doctors will correct the correct him later.
Speaker 1: But man, the biggest takeaway from what Chris Gotti said
Speaker 1: just now is that IRV Gott he didn't like to
Speaker 1: go to the doctor. Didn't We get on this radio
Speaker 1: all the time, and it been getting on this radio
Speaker 1: for years telling y'all take y'all ass to the doctor.
Speaker 5: I don't care what it is.
Speaker 1: I dodn'et have prostate exams, colonpees, end on nopees, every
Speaker 1: single you know cardiovascular test.
Speaker 5: That you can think of. Salute the doctor. Pullman.
Speaker 1: So are in medical like you got to take your
Speaker 1: ass to the doctor. There's no way around it if
Speaker 1: you want to live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're absolutely right. That's why we talk about
Speaker 3: it so much.
Speaker 4: And a lot of y'all say, y'all share a lot,
Speaker 4: But the reason we share so much is because we
Speaker 4: want you guys to go to the doctor. We want
Speaker 4: you comfortable and thinking that you can go to the
Speaker 4: doctor and call and talk to your peoples about it,
Speaker 4: because we need to. We need to make sure that
Speaker 4: we're checking up on each other, that we're going to
Speaker 4: our appointments, that we're checking our blood pressure, that we're
Speaker 4: making sure that we're checking our salt to our sugar levels,
Speaker 4: our heart and everything in between. We gotta make sure.
Speaker 4: And if you don't do you won't want to do
Speaker 4: it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it
Speaker 4: for your kids, do it for your wife, do it
Speaker 4: for whoever's in your family. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to have so many people die over
Speaker 1: things that you know, that could possibly have been prevented
Speaker 1: if they just simply had went to the doctor.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 1: And I know we make jokes about the prostate exam,
Speaker 1: but yes, go get a protet exam, like go get
Speaker 1: a cold do cop like we put it like this.
Speaker 1: If you like to laugh, having stuff up your butt
Speaker 1: is always funny. But at least you got something up
Speaker 1: your butt for a good reason.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, great, yes, but somebody might like it up
Speaker 4: for that reason another reason.
Speaker 3: But anyway, go ahead, continue on.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, shifting gears and places.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 7: Simon Badia, I always say his last name wrong, but
Speaker 7: that is the exchanged husband of Porsia Williams, who appeared
Speaker 7: on Real Housewives of Atlanta with her. We found out
Speaker 7: over the weekend that he was actually detained by ICE.
Speaker 7: So he is currently being held in the Stewart Detention
Speaker 7: Center in Lumpkin, Georgia.
Speaker 3: Somebody called Ice or him.
Speaker 7: Something happened. Something happened, Yes, then it came and got him.
Speaker 7: Now he's a Nigerian philanthropist. And again you guys remember
Speaker 7: him because he was on the show with her. He
Speaker 7: was at once married to the girl Fallon and he
Speaker 7: got with Porscha. That was a whole storyline. And him
Speaker 7: and Porscha recently decided to be together anymore. And there
Speaker 7: were conversations around why she decided to, you know, go
Speaker 7: through a divorce with him. It was money conversations and
Speaker 7: she said that she just found out that he wasn't
Speaker 7: exactly who he said he was in the beginning, and
Speaker 7: she didn't want any parts of it.
Speaker 6: And now we're seeing this. You know, this happened as
Speaker 6: well too. Now.
Speaker 7: Porsche spoke out not too long after this news hit
Speaker 7: and said, it's disheartening to see my strange husband make
Speaker 7: choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment,
Speaker 7: my priority is moving forward with my family in the
Speaker 7: prayer hands.
Speaker 1: So well, yeah, if you said, if you look at it,
Speaker 1: you know, they said he migrated from Nigeria to the
Speaker 1: US and eighty two, but he overstayed his visa, so
Speaker 1: he was declared the portable in nineteen what eighty five,
Speaker 1: and then they said he was arrested in eighty seven
Speaker 1: for banking credit card fraud. He is Nigerian, and then
Speaker 1: he was arrested two additional times. So he was deported
Speaker 1: to Nigeria in nineteen ninety two, but then he came
Speaker 1: back a month later.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then he applied.
Speaker 1: For citizenship in twenty sixteen, but he was denied by
Speaker 1: the US government because his previous status was unlawfully granted.
Speaker 7: And from what the reports are, this actually happened while
Speaker 7: he was reapplying for trying to figure out on the message,
Speaker 7: trying to was just talking about with this citizenship.
Speaker 3: So he was on television knowing he wasn't supposed to
Speaker 3: be here.
Speaker 6: Trying to figure out maybe that's wow. Yeah, it seems
Speaker 6: to me.
Speaker 3: That people's face. I think the pors fine though, man,
Speaker 3: So I can understand taking him the risk.
Speaker 7: She melt the ice like what.
Speaker 5: I can understand the risk that's were taken. I can
Speaker 5: understand it.
Speaker 7: He's a business owner here, he's making money, like, so
Speaker 7: maybe he thought that, you know, things would work out.
Speaker 4: But on the first shi he wasn't with Porsche on
Speaker 4: the show. The first time, he was with somebody else.
Speaker 4: I don't know who was.
Speaker 6: Who was the Alan she was?
Speaker 7: She was it was crazy was first wife, right, yeah,
Speaker 7: but she was just like she had a smaller storyline
Speaker 7: on the show. But they tried to make her and
Speaker 7: Porsia seem like they was homegirls on the show. So
Speaker 7: then when Porscha got with him, it was like, oh
Speaker 7: my god, I thought that was your friend and she
Speaker 7: had to come out and be like, that was not
Speaker 7: my friend.
Speaker 6: We was just on the show together.
Speaker 1: I just mean this in the most respectful way as
Speaker 1: a married man. You know, I can understand why he
Speaker 1: would take the risk of wearing matching pajamas with Porsche
Speaker 1: all over Instagram and be all over the reality shows
Speaker 1: with her.
Speaker 7: I can understand why now he's in that intentions and
Speaker 7: and just reminiscent on the high.
Speaker 1: But well, that's all you got is your stories when
Speaker 1: you locked up. So that's a that's a great story
Speaker 1: to have.
Speaker 3: Average house is cars. Who gets that cause he's no
Speaker 3: longer him.
Speaker 7: He does have he has children and I'm assuming other
Speaker 7: family here, so maybe they'll figure it ou out.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Specifically about you, the house, the health. I don't know
Speaker 7: her to have the I know she had one of
Speaker 7: the cars. They were going back over for about one
Speaker 7: of the cars. I'm not for sure who has what
Speaker 7: and that they haven't The divorce hasn't finalized yet with
Speaker 7: them either.
Speaker 6: They're still going through the process of that.
Speaker 7: But I did reach out to IOL try and get
Speaker 7: some more information on what's about the ICE. You can
Speaker 7: reach out the ICE. You can reach out to them.
Speaker 7: They have a media department. What number is that it's
Speaker 7: an email?
Speaker 5: Give me the number.
Speaker 4: Lord need to be investigated, don't you know.
Speaker 7: But they have They have departments in every state and
Speaker 7: you can reach out, especially if you're a media I'll
Speaker 7: let to obtain information for clarity. And that's what I
Speaker 7: did because I had a lot of questions like you
Speaker 7: guys did, and as you see, I can't answer me.
Speaker 6: So when I can, I'll be back with that.
Speaker 5: Do they have a tip line?
Speaker 6: All right, y'all? Dang?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 4: One time more quick?
Speaker 6: Which should I go to? So much good stuff?
Speaker 7: Okay, So Wendy Williams and you guys know that we've
Speaker 7: been keeping you up with Wendy Williams. Here at the
Speaker 7: Breakfast Club. Yesterday I broken exclusive. I spoke to Wendy
Speaker 7: Williams and she says that she's back at square one,
Speaker 7: fighting for her life with next to nothing. So she's
Speaker 7: a legend that her guardian, Sabrina Mercy, has recently hired
Speaker 7: four high, top notch attorneys to protect yourself from Wendy
Speaker 7: Williams and also from Lifetime. So Wendy says this week
Speaker 7: she to fire her current attorney that was the black
Speaker 7: woman attorney that she was really excited about because this
Speaker 7: person wasn't appointed by the court. But she said that
Speaker 7: she had to fire her because things were not working out,
Speaker 7: and now she needs to said more legal tea.
Speaker 6: So she's back at square one.
Speaker 7: She's saying that she might have to go through something
Speaker 7: called a linking here, which is something where they're able
Speaker 7: to see if she's capable of choosing her own lawyer.
Speaker 7: But the issue that she has with that is even
Speaker 7: if they allow her to choose her own attorney, what
Speaker 7: I'm told is that the attorney will still be from
Speaker 7: a list of attorneys at the court selects, and she
Speaker 7: doesn't want to do that. She wants to be able
Speaker 7: to choose her own attorney. She's very confused about why
Speaker 7: she has to do the link in hearing. The linking
Speaker 7: here is something that they use, like, you know, when
Speaker 7: kids are in court and it's a custody battle, they're like,
Speaker 7: you know, they want to figure out where the kid
Speaker 7: wants to be. They use that same type of interview
Speaker 7: that a judge does, but with the conservaty like the
Speaker 7: person who's in a conservative ship. So she doesn't understand
Speaker 7: why she has to do that. She feels like she's
Speaker 7: proven that she's more than capable enough to make these decisions.
Speaker 7: And yeah, so now she's you know, she just wants
Speaker 7: you guys to know what's going on. So she wanted
Speaker 7: us to let you guys know that she's trying to
Speaker 7: figure it out all over again attorney wise at this point.

Speaker 1: You know every day during Black History Month, my guy
Speaker 1: Bet puts out an episode. If I didn't know, maybe
Speaker 1: you didn't neither. On The Black Effect. iHeart Radio podcast Network.
Speaker 1: And we're going to learn today about how Jasmine Evans
Speaker 1: got left off the kidney transplant list, not because she
Speaker 1: wasn't qualified, but because someone decided to play doctor based
Speaker 1: on stereotypes.
Speaker 5: Let's discuss.
Speaker 14: See, Jasmine needed a kidney transplant, so I'm critical for
Speaker 14: her survival. But instead of being placed on the list
Speaker 14: like any qualified patient, she was left off. Why because
Speaker 14: of assumptions rooted in stereotypes about black women. We've been
Speaker 14: discussing medical apartheid all season, and this is just another
Speaker 14: branch on that tree. The doctors didn't doubt her medical condition,
Speaker 14: they doubted her ability to comply with post transplant care.
Speaker 5: Let that sink in.
Speaker 14: Despite meeting the necessary criteria, they judged her based on
Speaker 14: who they thought she was, not who she actually is.
Speaker 14: They assumed she lacks support or discipline, assumptions tied to
Speaker 14: harmful narratives about our sisters. This is bigger than Jasmine.
Speaker 14: Though Black women are at the heart of our community.
Speaker 14: They're our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, our partners. Yet
Speaker 14: many times they're often disregarded, disrespected, and dismissed in healthcare.
Speaker 14: Studies show they're less likely to receive proper pain management,
Speaker 14: less likely to be listened to, and more likely to
Speaker 14: face barriers to life saving treatments. Jasmine's story is in
Speaker 14: an isolated case. It's a reflection of a system that
Speaker 14: undervalues black women's lives.
Speaker 5: But here's the thing. Didn't give up.
Speaker 14: She fought back, She raised her voice and exposed the
Speaker 14: bias that nearly robbed her of her future. After public pressure,
Speaker 14: she was finally placed on the kidney transplant list. But
Speaker 14: that fight shouldn't have been necessary. Black women shouldn't have
Speaker 14: to battle every step of the way just to get
Speaker 14: what they deserve. So, fellas, this is where we come in.
Speaker 14: Supporting black women isn't just about words. It's about action.
Speaker 14: It's about showing up for them and standing misad them
Speaker 14: and speaking up when they're being wrong. It's about recognizing
Speaker 14: that their fight is our fight too. We know how
Speaker 14: much black women do for us. We know how much
Speaker 14: black women mean to us. They hold us down, they
Speaker 14: lift us up, They fight for us when nobody else will,
Speaker 14: and Jasmine's story is a reminder that we need to
Speaker 14: do the same for them. Let's honor their strength by
Speaker 14: making sure that the systems that failed them are held accountable.
Speaker 14: Let's be the men who stand in the gap. Because
Speaker 14: when black women thrive, you already know our entire community thrives.
Speaker 14: Jasmin's fight a and neither is ours. So let's commit
Speaker 14: to making this world safer, fairer, and more just for
Speaker 14: the black women we love.

Speaker 1: my favorite follows on Instagram at the Healing Guide. You
Speaker 1: should follow Healing guid on Instagram, but they posted nothing
Speaker 1: kills you faster than your own mind. Don't stress over
Speaker 1: things that are out of your control. Your own thoughts
Speaker 1: and worries can harm you more than anything else. When
Speaker 1: you stress too much about things that you cannot change,
Speaker 1: it affects your mental and physical health. Overthinking and worrying
Speaker 1: make you feel anxious, tired, and even sick. Instead of
Speaker 1: focusing on things beyond your control, it's better to accept
Speaker 1: them and focus on what you can change. Letting go
Speaker 1: of unnecessary stress will help you stay happier and healthier.
Speaker 5: Y'all have a great day.
