You not an early traveling I came, 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.840 I got here yesterday. Okay, you know I've been traveling 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.720 a lot. I wasn't amsterdamn a few days ago. So 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.320 I'm my clock is off, but I feel good. You 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.000 smoke nah non, you're not an early bird at all. 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.519 I am early, okay, yoka? How early? Um? I get 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.559 up with with y'all. I get up in la at 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.600 six in the morning. I get up with my mom. Oh, 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.879 so technically it's three three in the morning for yours. 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.160 Three in the morning for right now. Okay, okay, all right, 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.760 but we got a lot to talk about. Justin Pearson, 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.639 Justin J. Pearson will be jo and you know, he's 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.840 the member of the Tennessee House of Representatives representing the 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.760 eighty six district in Memphis. I don't know why they 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.520 keep calling him in Tennessee three. Two of them got 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.720 Tennessee too. You know, it's actually the Tennessee too, you know, 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.760 in a plus one. I guess, well, she didn't get expelled, 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.800 you get expelled. And a white ladiness, that's right. Why 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.080 did you keep calling the Tennessee three because they always 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.679 co opt in. White women are always part of the struggle, 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.000 even if they're not in the struggle. There, I go 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.360 started early. That's all right, that's all right, and Chakor 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.800 Stevenson Box will be joining us, of course from Brick City, 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:41.040 New Jersey. Had to fight last weekend. Weekend. Yeah, you 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.240 have to fight last weekend. And we'll be kicking it 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.240 with him in a little bit as well. And then 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.600 we got front page news another mass shooting, just a 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.880 regular headline. At this point, I keep telling y'all, this 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.880 is the American way. I hate all these politicians that 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.760 jump out there and say this is not who we are. 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.400 This is exactly who America is. And when you take 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.360 a look at the world and you see what's happening 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.200 globally with the people who have taken a stand against 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.600 gun violence. You see the difference, and it's it's apparent 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:12.960 that a lot of people are getting paid by these as. Absolutely, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.440 so we'll get into that when we come back to 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.960 wake your ass up. Sorry to depress you so early 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.400 in the morning, but it's at this point our world. Sorry, 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.200 it's life. Sorry, it's the breakfast club. Good morning morning. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.200 Everybody is stej n V Charlomagne the guy we are 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.680 to Breakfast Club. We got our co host Ida Rodriguez 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.119 joining us this morning. Morning. Na, good morning, and let's 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.160 get in some front page news. Of course, Teslain Figureo 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.440 is here helping us out this morning. Now, test morning, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.519 another mass shooting. Yeah, it's a damn shame. Yet another. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.960 Like you guys mentioned yet another everyday headline. Unfortunately, yesterday 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.720 at twenty five year old bank employee open fire at 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.839 his workplace in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. Now. The shooter live 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.920 streamed the attack that left five dead and eight others injured. 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.240 The gunman was identified as Connor Sturgeon, an employee at 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.400 Old National Bank. Now. He left a chilling voicemail revealing 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.760 his plans to kill everyone at the bank. He was 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.520 killed by police after the shootout, and apparently dj Envy 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.880 he was under the assumption that he would be fired 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.880 soon and so as of now they're believing that is 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.320 the motivation. And the unfortunate thing is the gun violence 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.600 Archives shows that in two twenty three alone, there have 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.320 been at least one hundred and forty six mass shootings. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.800 A mass shooting is defined as at least four people 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.120 being shot at at the same time, and that includes 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.840 at least fifteen since the start of April. Once again, 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.240 complicated issue, right, because you know it's not just about 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.880 the guns. Clearly this dude is suffered from some type 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.200 of mental health issues. Bright, you kill yourself, you kill 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.240 people because you about to lose a job. But they 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.120 said he started as an intern his way up at 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.400 the bank, and I guess he thought he was gonna 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.839 get fired or for whatever reason. And Bright, that job 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.720 ain't dying for you, So why are you willing to 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.960 kill and die for that job? Like that makes no sense. 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.120 You get fired from a job, you go find another one, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.600 Like come on, and then remember this this live stream thing, 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.600 you know, this need to go live. I thought that 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.920 was an interesting part of it as well, that we're 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.760 seeing far too much. Yeah, there's some narcissism in this, 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.520 you know, and I think that you know, in reality, 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.719 when we talk about mental illness, we have to talk 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.640 about the fact that white men in this country are 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.279 having temper tantrums all over the place. And this is 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.560 an emotional temper tantrum to to just say I'm much 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.920 off everybody because I can't work here anymore. What a privilege. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.920 He probably thought he was gonna walk away from this 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.320 because they tend to. That's right, and that's that's part 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:40.960 of it, right, that's part of it when you don't 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.880 know how to process your emotions, and it is part 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.880 of you know, not being emotionally intelligent enough to process 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.520 your feelings. Because that's all it is, right, you made 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.000 You made a permanent decision based off a temporary feeling. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.839 I'm gonna be fired, so I'm gonna kill everybody. Come on, man, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.000 that I don't understand the logic personally. Now what else 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:06.440 we gotta I see A Republican Republican called trans people mutants. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.120 this is a crazy story. A Florida Republican lawmaker compare 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:14.359 transgender people to mutants from the X Men while debating 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.680 yet another bill that would curteil LGBTQ writes. During a 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.400 debate on Monday about House Bill fourteen twenty one, which 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.799 would ban gender affirming care for minors and prohibit trans 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.440 people from using the bathroom that aligns with their gender, 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:33.000 Republican Representative Webster Barnaby went on a rant. Take a 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.000 listen to what he had to say. I'm looking at 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.880 society today and it's like I'm watching an X Men 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.280 movie with people that when you watch the X Men 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:48.040 movies for Marvel Comics, it's like, we have mutants living 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.600 among us on planet Earth. And you know, some people 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.000 don't like that, but that's a fact. We have people 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.520 that live among us today. I'm plenty of Earth that 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.320 are happy to display themselves as if they were mutants 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.000 from another planet. This is the planet Earth where God 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:10.159 created men male and women female. There is so much 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.960 darkness in our world today, so much evil in our 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.239 world today, and so many people who are afraid to 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:23.240 address the evil. The dysphoria, the dysfunction, and all of 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.560 your demons and all of your imps who come parade 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.200 before us. That's right, I called you demons and imps 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.240 who come and parade before us and pretend that you 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.160 are part of this world. So I'm saying, my righteous 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:45.279 indignation is stirred. I am sick and tired of this. Oh. Technically, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.640 if you are a transwoman, you could be considered an 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.919 X men, okay. And if you follow comics like I do, stupid. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.080 And if you follow comics like no I'm saying seriously though, 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.760 if you follow comics like I do, most of the 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.640 mutants are the good guys, you know, So that's not 0:06:58.160 --> 0:06:59.880 the dissy thinks they did. But here the thing, this 0:06:59.920 --> 0:07:02.400 is the problem. Even if you disagree with their lifestyle. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.039 I'm not with the demonization of any community, okay, because 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.000 when you start demonizing people, it leads to discrimination, it 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.600 leads to them being harmed but simply being themselves. And 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.360 it's just always strange when I see, you know, black people, 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.280 other are just minorities people period, other marginalized communities period, 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:18.880 doing that to other people. Because that was a brother, 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:23.360 that was talk. He has an accent of someone who 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.520 was previously in some form called an alien by someone 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.560 who would say he sounds like he's foreign and an immigrant, right, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.000 And Uh. But the funny thing is that he sounds 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.680 like he got a crush that was that was too heated. 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.560 At the end, he was I am tiring my righteous 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:46.400 indignation like a direction. Yeah, I don't know. I don't 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.880 even know what the imp is. What is an imp? 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.560 That is a that is also someone who is that 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.840 is a derogatory term of someone who is um, who 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:02.080 has a deformity. Yeah, understand people from arginalized communities do that. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.080 The other people like, I don't see how you can 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.560 just demonize somebody for what they are, you know, I 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.680 mean it just seems like it's fear monging. But the 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.320 other mangering. The other thing is like when we're gonna 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:16.200 have a real conversation about this that is rooted in humanity, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.000 because like the trans community is a very small community. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.760 Why you ain't that angry about these white boys shooting 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.239 up the spot man, talk about it. Use that anger 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.040 for that, talk about it. Those are the demons. If 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.760 going into a building and killing you know, people just 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.920 say you're about to be fired. That don't make you 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.480 a demon? What does? All? Right? Well, that is front 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.360 page news, Thank you, Tess. We're seeing about an hour.

Maybe you had a great night or a 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.400 horrible night, whatever it may be. Phone lines are wide 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.920 open for you to vent. Eight hundred five eight five 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.800 one or five one, and I'd a ride Riggs. I 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.560 guess co hosts heads the Breakfast Club the morning the 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:11.599 Breakfast Club. Who's this this Staria or this Charia? Or 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.560 what's going on? Avery? What's going on? Charlotte? Man? Peace King? 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.680 How you doing? Bron You lied on the phone. Just 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.240 just back up off the phone, just just a little bit. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.360 They ain't don't speak. I'm taping it down, but listen, 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.080 I want to all speak on what y'all were just 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:29.280 talking about with them. It's man on Earth. I totally 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.560 believe in that. And I got nothing to do with 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.520 the MTB community as far as the great number, not 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.360 like that. But it's I feel it's just like it's 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.480 something different on this planet right now. Now. I agree 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.920 with the guy that called down the guy that called in, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.120 I mean the audio called them. But what YA was 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.480 talking about on the report just now. But you know 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.280 the reality of the situation is, man, we all different. 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.880 You're different, you know what I mean. Likes there's a 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.240 status quote in this country, and that status quote, that 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.640 standard is whiteness. So anything that's not white is considered different. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.200 Like they used to look at black people the exact 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.240 same way. He used to look at women the exact 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.920 same way. Still gave people the exact same way. They 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.559 still look at us like that, absolutely, you know what 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.040 I mean. So I don't understand how anybody from a 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.160 marginal lot community can demonize another marginal lot community. That 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:16.960 makes no sense to me. Hello, who's this jump right, Danny? Danny, 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.680 get it off your chest, hey man. First thing first, 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.720 I want to say good morning to you guys.

Thank you some weed with a blunt. 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.280 Oh yeah, no doubt. Man. Hey y'all, man, I want 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.400 to talk about this mass shooter. Man. First thing. First, man, 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.680 I've been it can still carry you for you know, 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.000 since I was twenty one years old. I just turned 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.839 thirty five and March twenty four, and honestly, man, when 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.760 I see these signs deaths on doors, like saying no 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.920 no firearms, I'm gonna be honest, I still carry them. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.440 I got a family at seven that I still need 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.440 to take home at the end of the day. You know, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.880 I'd rather be just by twelve and carry by six. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.800 So I feel like we need to, you know, if 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.120 you know, if you're not if you don't have a 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.600 firearm and you don't have your permit, please go out 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.520 there get it and don't just get it. Practice, you know, 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.080 practice to protect ourselves from these demons. Man that's out 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.319 here doing all these killings for no no reason. I 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.480 feel like they really, they really need to take them 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.480 signs down saying no firearms. That's only keeping the good 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.720 guys out, such as myself, you know what I mean. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.079 So those guys that want to go in there and 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.720 kill everybody, they're not paying attention to that sign. So 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.040 when we see that sign, of course we didn't. We 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.200 gotta go back, put it back in a car or 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.040 something like, oh man, we can't take the gun. And 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.120 there plus to be honest, like I said, Man, I 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.640 carry it everywhere I go. Man, I'm not I'm not 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:13.000 falling victim or my family's falling victims to nobody's names careless. Hey, brother, 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.960 I'm with you. I'm pro to a I'm just also 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.480 a pro common sense gun reform. You know, yeah, I agree. 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.440 And plus you know a lot of what you're gonna 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.560 do with a three eighty when somebody's has an assault Like, 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.920 I'm gonna still fight at three eighty. I'm still dumb. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.280 We got we all are. But the reality of it 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.160 is is that we need to do something about because 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.680 we keep deflecting, we keep going around the real issue 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.560 is that people are getting these bumps, they're getting these 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.839 assault rifles. They're getting these We need to regulate that 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.320 and they need to Nobody is trying to take your 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.960 three eighty and you're nine from you. Nobody is trying 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.520 to deter you from having your own arm. But we 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.959 keep co opting the conversation with that. And why should 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.600 you have to you have a family of seven, Why 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.040 do you have to go out and say society when 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:06.400 these politicians are getting mad money for encouraging and continuously 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.160 pushing this gun agenda in our country. That's right, And 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.480 what Danny just said the truck driver, I would say 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.319 this to everybody. If you're over the age of twenty one, 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.679 I would definitely try to get my license, get your 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.880 concealed license. If you get one in Utah, in Florida, 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.559 you can get it at any gun shop that allows 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.280 you to carry in about thirty states or something like that, concealed. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.319 And yes, he said, if there's a sign on the 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.680 daughter says you cannot have your gun, you're not supposed 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.440 to carry your gun in that in that place. But 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.920 I would tell everybody go out there, go to your 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.199 local your your local gun store, fill out the paperwork, 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.040 fill the process out to get your gun license, and 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.720 train my wife to the and my daughter and my 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.679 son to the range. At lease, I try to take 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.720 him twice a month. I've said this a million times. 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.880 Man owning a legal firearm and knowing how to use 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.400 it in this country as a minority as a form 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.480 of self care about Also, if we, if enough of 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.720 us go out and get them, they probably will change 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.680 the gun loss. You might be but it's not easy. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:01.920 They don't make it easy for you to get it. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.240 Don't think you could just walk in there and get it. 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.880 They don't make it easy. You got to go to 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.319 the chief of the police. It's it's difficult, but stay 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.960 on it. They want you to give up. They don't 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.480 want you to get it. So do not the process 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.040 and get your license, all right, get it off your chest. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.360 Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.240 you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:25.240 breakfast club. The morning the breakfast club, so it wasn't safe. 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.120 Basically had everything to do with face and spiilogy. So 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.480 make everyone know that everyone is specially we opened the 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.200 doors to the stables. Use I had one guy he 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.320 had a probably you know, say the spirit's hand see 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.120 it or whatever, but he was talented on the piece. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.080 He made out beat. So my brother basically basically you're 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.240 saying that the mutants are a good thing. We didn't 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.200 even see that as being the mutant. You get gifted 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.200 and talented. That's right, but that's what But that's what 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.160 they are. That's what the X Men are. The X 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.560 Men are known as a gifted group of individuals. I 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.360 got Wolverine tattooed on my arm right now. That's a 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:01.800 horrible tap, by the way. I mean, it is a 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.880 horrible tap. But I like what wolver Re represented because 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.200 Wolverine had a healing powers, you know what I'm saying. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:07.840 He was able to heal quickly. So that was all 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.000 that I was always into. I was always in the 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.680 healing before I even knew what actual healing was. Okay, 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.520 well get it, get it. I just appreciate his passion 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.320 because he was selling water to help people and hear 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.120 this man is standing on the floor demonizing people, and 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.400 I think that's that's what this is all about. We 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.480 will make a decision if we're gonna be part of 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.680 the solution of the problem. I have a just a 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.920 very big question mark about why so many people are 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.520 have such a hard on about trans people, like it 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.960 is a preoccupation that is so such a small population 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.120 of the country that you barely interface with, Like, how 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.400 many trans people do you come in contact with that 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.720 affect your daily life? Really? And there is such a 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.560 preoccupation with it that I want to know why, Like 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.920 what is it? Like? I could care less about you 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.800 know what you're doing. These people who can't have a heart, 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.960 the hardest time getting jobs, get murdered at a at 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.760 an astronomical rate, who are being beaten and bullied. Why 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:12.120 are you so preoccupied with them? I understand people not 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.280 wanting their children being exposed to sexual content at a 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.640 very early age, but there's just this fascination and this 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.880 preoccupation with the trans community that is very concerning to me, 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.400 because you know, how many people do you come unless 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.880 you got unless you really got something going on, and 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.040 you're dealing with some demons. What is the preoccupation? We 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.680 have so many bigger problems in our community. Don't feel 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.720 like they're making a micro macro. Yeah, it's really an 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.600 interesting all right, Well, get it off your chest. Eight 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.600 hundred five eighty five one oh five one. Our co host, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.960 Ida Rodriguez is here and when we come back, we 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:48.600 got your room report. We got to talk about the 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:53.480 Dolly Llama. Uh so, weird stuff happened yesterday. We understand, 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.160 we'll talk about it when we come back. All right, 0:16:55.400 --> 0:17:01.520 it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, a breakfast Club morning. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.800 Everybody is DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy. We are to 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.880 breakfast Club. Good morning y'all. Our co guest host Ida 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.160 Rodriguez is here, and let's get to the rumas. Let's 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:18.159 go from my hat name or you gossip chatting the 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.360 rub report. I mean, I guess we're on the breakast clud. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.119 This is where the tea spells right right on the 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.479 Breakfast Club. I just want to tell people out there, 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.680 if you're looking to purchase a home U the Federal 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:32.520 Housing Administration added a forty year mortgage. So now you know, 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.880 usually mortgage is a twenty five years or thirty years, 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:36.639 you have to pay within twenty five or thirty years. 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.639 Now they're offering forty years to pay that mortgage. So 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.280 if there was something that you thought that maybe you 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.919 couldn't afford or it's a little high, well now at 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.320 breaking it down to an additional ten years, so hopefully 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.960 that you can purchase that loan. So if you're looking 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.080 to purchase a house, make sure you uh, it's harder. 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.240 It's harder to get loans right now. Inflation is through 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.320 the roof there. You you check people out because well, FHA, 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.840 they offer a lower percentage as well, so it's not 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.520 going to be your typical six and a half percent 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.600 or seven percent or five and a half percent. In 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.359 some places they offer a lot lower rate, and sometimes 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.040 you don't have to put as much money down, So 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.600 just call your local mortgage broker or your bank and 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:11.600 find out more information. But they have a forty year 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.720 mortgage and sometimes they allow three and a half percent 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.400 depending on what it is in certain areas and certain things. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:17.560 And you only have to put down skip me, not 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:19.879 three and a half percent. Three and a half percent down, 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.679 So just do your homework if you're looking to purchase 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.160 a home. Now, let's talk about the Dolly Lama Now. 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.600 He apologized yesterday for asking a boy to suck my 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:42.320 tongue Jesus Christ and to suck um. I didn't know 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.680 there was audio. I didn't hear it. I just see 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.560 a statement. Now. The young boy was asked to Dolly 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.040 Lama for a hug, and when he woke up, and 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.760 when he went up there to give the lama lama hug, 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.720 they will hug it. And they said, it's I guess 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.320 some type of I don't want to say protocol or 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.399 things spiritual thing that they do where he sticks his 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.320 tongue out and gives the boy hug. But him saying 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.840 I saw that I sucked. That say, that's the Bestian 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.920 culture that people stick their tongue out as the sign 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.160 of respect. But ain't nobody saying that you gotta ask 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.240 the little boy to suck your tongue. That's a whole 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.320 different ball game. Yeah, and you know what's it exposes 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.639 a whole world of stuff that a lot of people 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.919 don't get to see, especial talk talk talk. No, I'm sorry, 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.240 it's just that triggers me. I got my own issues, 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:31.440 so I just thought that was inappropriate. That's an understatement. 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.840 And then it's like, y'all watch a little dickie. Y'all 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.159 watch Dave. I love Dave Show. On Dave Show, you know, 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.320 they constantly talk about getting sucked, and that's what it was. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.000 Dolly wanted to get sucked by a little boy, and 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.880 then you should call it what it is. Now. They 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.119 said that he apologized and said that you know, he 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.600 jokes like this all the time. And but what's funny 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:52.639 about that? What's funny We're asking a young boy to 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.280 suck your tongue. The kiss on the lips, that's not 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.600 that's not a relative of yours, that's not your child, 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.320 you know what I mean? And then stick you're tongue 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.359 about suck my tongue. Yeah, so eighty seven year old 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.199 man talking to a kid who's so young that they 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.119 had to blursh face up, and then you put out 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:12.199 an apology, just a simple apology like that's just normal behavior. Yeah. Now, 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.639 I was like, calm down, it was a joke. They 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:16.680 ain't got no they don't got no child services in 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:21.879 a just a lot of those places that you I mean, 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.400 when you read those books and you you you learn 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.560 about the things that happened globally to children, it's like 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.040 it's very very sad to hear and the fact that 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.000 he thought it was cool to be able to just 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.639 do that, even though it might have been a lapse 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.680 of judgment, that was a heavy laps of judgment. But 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.600 I guarantee you he probably does that when the cameras 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.560 are off, you know, absolutely, it just caught him, absolutely 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.159 all right, Well, nothing's gonna happen to him. I actually 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.640 shocked that he apologizing. I mean, he's apologizing because he's 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.320 responding to the backlash on social media. There's no uproar 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.040 going on in his country right now. I don't come 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.800 back with one of his philosophies, in order to have 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:05.200 big life, you must suck old man's tongue, Jesus Christ. Now, 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.600 Nick Cannon, it looks like um speaking of sucking tongues. 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.840 He looks like he's he might be interested in having 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.800 baby thirteen? Who would be the woman to make you 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:16.880 have a baby again? Right now? Right off the top 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.000 of you, I said, you could have any woman in 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.359 the world doing who's your Who could it be like? 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.600 If I said to you, Nick, Taylor Swift, why don't 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:30.760 I have a baby with you? That's the one that's 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.119 I'm all in. What is it about her? She's an 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:38.240 amazing songwriter. And what I do love about Taylor Swift 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.840 is the fact that she has been so vulnerable and 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:42.920 open with all of him. He's since a young girl, 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.840 and and she kind of liked me like me and 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.960 Taylor's numbers is very similar. When we're talking about being 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:53.080 in these streets, right, So I think she would relate 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.080 to me very well based off of like, Yo, you 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.680 dated a lot of people in the public eye saw, 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.639 so we probably would really understand each other. It was 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:04.600 swim numbers up there with Nick. I didn't know that 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:09.320 Nick got hot numbers really because she wrote a couple 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.800 of songs about her ex boyfriends, Like do you know 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.679 this is the funny thing to me, people recounting people's 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.040 partners that are celebrities and they be having doubled the 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.879 numbers in real life, but nobody gets to know about them. 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.639 I mean, I don't know Taylor Swift, is it? I 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:26.840 always think of her as a kid. I know she's thirty, 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.400 but it just feels like, you know, yeah, I don't 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.240 like it. I want Nick Cannon to have more black 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.720 baby mamas. She got Nicky got enough white baby mamas. Nick, 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:39.840 I don't know. That's what I hear about him. I 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:41.160 don't know how. I don't know any of Nick's baby 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:45.640 mom s Maria Cary, to be honest, I don't that's 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:50.280 only I don't know. I don't. Well, he is doing 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.399 another morning show, so congratulations to Nick. He's doing a 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.119 morning show with his baby mother. Abby Day La Rosa. 0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.640 She's gonna be the co host. That's dope. That want 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.240 include bomb from Nick Cannon Show together, And that's true, 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:07.440 that's what they're saying. They're launching it on Amazon amp. Interesting. 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:09.560 But you never have to pay child report if you 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:16.640 get her a job. I'm serious, right, I guess flame 0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:21.040 come back with the edible. I guess so he'll be 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.439 doing that, So congratulations to them.

I listen 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:33.520 to that radio though, a good good sister. Now, lets 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.520 moon have to show on the radio, not from six 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.320 to nine at night in the morning, oh said the 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:41.480 morning show, sir.

And lastly, 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.400 six nine is Uh, he was. You know, we talked 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.600 about him yesterday about him suing the Florida gym. But 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:09.240 now he's being sued and that's because he owes American 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:13.640 Express allegedly one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Uh. They're 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:15.600 saying that he didn't pay his bill allegedly, and now 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.840 a company has resorted to legal action against him. So 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:20.560 how long did they take before they come after you 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:23.360 from They're pretty fast, really, they're pretty fast. I think 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.160 it's like forty five days they don't get their money. 0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:27.600 They the thirty yes, and they put out an announce 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.840 the time. If you look at American Express, the people 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:33.840 that owe them, it's up. They do it every time. 0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:38.320 They do it to everybody. They do it. We're not 0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.480 reporting everybody, you know what I mean? Yeah, like that 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.960 that had to be a press release. Yeah, but they 0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:46.000 do that to old celebrities. If if you owe the money, 0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.200 you go over, I think it's like forty five days 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.200 they will put it out there, this person owes this 0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:54.399 much money.

That's right, Tessa's back now, Tesla 0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:53.600 or what's going on in Tennessee? Did did they get reappointed? 0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:57.359 What's going on? Yeah, good morning, everybody, Breakfast club family. 0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.760 So we covered this story on yesterday and many of 0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:02.800 you have certainly been watching it over the last few 0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:05.760 days of hearing about the Tennessee three and as we 0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.040 talked about there not the Tennessee three is actually the 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:12.600 Tennessee two and now there is one. So again covering 0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:14.159 the story on yesterday, I wanted to give you a 0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:18.600 quick update on Tennessee House Representative Justin Jones. Now, Justin 0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:22.720 Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled for breaking decorum rules 0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.399 on the House floor March thirtieth, and yesterday afternoon, Justin 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.320 Jones was reappointed to his former seat in the fifty 0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.960 second district in Nashville by the Metro Council. Now, the 0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:36.800 Metro Council voted thirty six to zero to appoint Jones 0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.840 as the interroom representative for the district. So, in other words, 0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:43.640 they appointed him to replace him as an interroom Now, 0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:47.040 as far as what is going on with Justin Pearson, 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:51.200 there is a meeting scheduled on Wednesday to see if 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.320 he will be reinstated. So let's take a quick listen 0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:57.959 to what Justin Jones said yesterday on the Capitol steps. 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.119 So I want to thank you all failure today, particularly 0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:03.520 the young people who are the heartbeat of this movement. 0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:08.320 It were students taking walking out of classes and taking 0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:10.680 to this capitol that led us into the well that 0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:13.359 day calling for common sense gun laws. And the first 0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:14.879 thing I do when I walk into this building as 0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.560 a representative is to continue that call for common sense 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:23.119 gun legislation. Hey, I'm happy for Justin Jones, and I'm 0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.399 happy that he got reinstated. But if y'all gonna call 0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.960 him a new generation of leaders, and you know, y'all 0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.560 gonna say that they got new energy, they gotta find 0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:32.159 a new song. I don't want to hear no young 0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:35.199 people singing we shall overcome. Boy. He pissed me off 0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:37.040 when I saw he was singing we shall overcome with 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:39.800 that white lady and that damn man. Point they could 0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:43.840 do not give you buckers something like yeah up, let's 0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:46.200 definitely stop the singing. Uh. You know, but a couple 0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:47.679 of things to want to point out. You know, they 0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.600 cannot be spelled for the same thing twice. So if 0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:52.920 they go back to the floor and decide again to 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:56.840 protest with a bullhorn, which is, you know, the excuse 0:27:56.920 --> 0:27:59.480 that they used on why they expelled them. Obviously, we 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:02.040 know it's a big issue, you know, certainly has a 0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:03.600 lot to do with race, has a lot to do 0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:06.720 with the House Republicans not being able to really you know, 0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:09.440 deal with the change. But the excuse, as they gave 0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.639 was the bullhorn. So um, they will be going, well, 0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.480 he will be going back to his seat. And another 0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:17.800 thing that's really important is he will still have to 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:19.920 run again to hold this seat. You know, That's what 0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:21.840 I want people to not forget. He has to run 0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:24.159 in a special election and then he still has to 0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:26.879 run in a general election in order to really be 0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:29.080 put back in that seat. So those who you know 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.920 are following this story, you know, don't just forget about 0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:34.480 it this week. Look at it long term and see 0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.280 how important it is, you know, to stay on top 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.360 of local and state politics and vote. Also a big 0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.200 shout out to Tamika Mallory who was president, who went 0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:46.280 down there and showed up to make sure that justice 0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:50.320 was served. But that's important to remember why a lot 0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:54.920 of people who talk about anti voting stuff, it's you 0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.800 talk about it on a national level, but when it 0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:02.080 comes to these regional situations. This is why you vote, 0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.720 because that man is fighting for his community and we 0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.440 gotta we have to show fight for them. And that's 0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:11.280 why we need to make sure that we are finding 0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:15.120 out who the sheriff, the superintendent, people who are appropriating 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.240 the funds in our community. That is why it is 0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:19.400 important for us to show up and vote. And that's 0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:21.640 why I push against the people who say it is 0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:25.959 pointless to vote because we need him back. That's right. 0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:28.960 And if he running again, you're gonna need that money, rights, 0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:32.880 you better believe it gonna need it because again more 0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:35.040 people will be coming out to run against him. So 0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:37.440 even though they're talking about the Tennessee Three, all three 0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:40.080 of those who were put up to expel, we know 0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:43.400 they only expelled two collectively, there is about two hundred 0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:45.760 thousand people that all three of them represent. But I 0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:47.200 want to be honest with you, when you look at 0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:49.280 the numbers on people that are actually voting in these 0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.240 gentlemen will voting in less than two thousand people. So 0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:55.200 when you talk about only two thousand people going to 0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:57.600 the polls, now, you can pretty much look at that 0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:01.280 probably being trimple because of this national versation, So who's 0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:04.000 going to run against these men? That means what we 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.080 call get out the vote. More people are going to 0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.600 you know, probably oppose Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. You 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:13.560 can expect that. So they'll need money to run, They'll 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:15.960 need to be able to activate those voters. And so 0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:18.280 Jones and Pearson, just to be very honest with you, 0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:19.760 because I don't know any other way to give it 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:21.600 to you, they're gonna have to make sure, you know, 0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:24.120 that they take care of their district because although this 0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:28.440 is a national conversation, and although there's national attension on it, 0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:31.840 now that those the district that these two men represent, 0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:33.440 you know, they're gonna have to make sure that they 0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.480 stay engaged with them because remembers, they've only been in 0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:38.040 office a few months, so there's a lot, you know 0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:40.360 that that still needs to happen to make sure that 0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:42.640 they get their voters out again for the special election, 0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:44.959 which will happen in less than a couple of months. Well, 0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:48.080 Justin Pison was in New York yesterday, so he pulled 0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.280 up to the Black Mothership, the Breakfast Club. That's right 0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.720 to use our bully full pitch. So we spoke to 0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:54.760 him yesterday. Yeah, we're gonna get into that next so 0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.880 thank you or Tessa's actually staying with us Justin Pearson 0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:01.120 for Justin interview. That's right. He's a member of the 0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:04.440 Tennessee House of Representatives representing eighty six district in Memphis. 0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:06.760 We're gonna talk to him when we at least not 0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:10.760 right now, but we're gonna talk, yes, right, so don't move. 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:16.520 It's the breakfast club, the morning the breakfast club. The 0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.600 effects of this are and instead of actually addressing the 0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:22.000 issue which started and the reason we went to the 0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:24.760 floor is because there was six people killed in Nashville 0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.520 at the Covenant School, private school. Six people, three of 0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:31.320 them were children nine years old. The Tennessee State legislature 0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:36.200 the following Thursday did not acknowledge seven thousand people who 0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:39.280 showed up to our capital saying we want change, we 0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:41.680 want you to do something. In fact, they had one 0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:45.600 person speak about gun violence, one representative, then they cut 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.360 off all communication about it during what's called welcoming and honoring, 0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.080 a period where we would be able to say to 0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:52.480 the protesters, we're with you, to say to the community, 0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:54.960 we're gonna fight for legislation. But instead of actually doing 0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.840 the work of ending gun violence, putting forward legislation, things 0:31:57.880 --> 0:31:59.840 that we need to have happened. They said, well, for 0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:03.040 because you all got out of order, you broke rules 0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:06.200 of house decorum. You don't deserve to be here, despite 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.240 the fact that our people sent us there. And so 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.880 we got a problem going on to Tennessee. And it's 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:13.800 not just limited to Tennessee, exactly, it's not just limited 0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:16.800 to Tennessee. And this overreach and this abuse of power 0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.520 is going to continue in your Florida's, in your Texas, 0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:22.040 is in your Mississippies. So why were you expelled? That 0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:24.320 That was a confusion that a lot of people had. 0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:26.480 They didn't know why you were expelled. Yeah, the real 0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:28.640 reason why we were expelled was because of what we 0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:31.840 were talking about. Because you've got folks, Tennessee Republicans who 0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:36.320 are willing to sacrifice our communities, our children, for the 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:40.000 National Rifle Association, for the Tennessee Firearm Association and not 0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.479 address the issue. And so in response to us, they 0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.080 called the children and the teenagers who were the predominant 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:50.160 groups of protesters, insurrectionists. They called us they elected, but 0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:53.040 not the people that's thrown the capital on January exactly right, 0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:57.320 But unlike January sixth, nobody died. Unlike January sixth, people 0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:01.160 didn't show up with batons and pepper spray. Unlike January 0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:03.760 six we didn't beat law enforcement. It was a peaceful 0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:08.800 protest against legislation and against a status quo that we 0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:12.080 know is disproportionately hurting black people in our communities. But 0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:15.400 it was in direct response to a mass shooting that 0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:17.800 had occurred, and their response to the mass shooting is 0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:20.720 expelling us, not addressing the issue, right, mister Pearson. But 0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:22.760 let's kind of just because I want to make sure 0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.480 people are not confused on the actual thing that you were. 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.440 And I agree that you had every right to protest, 0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.880 You had every right to speak up, but wasn't exactly 0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:34.440 for using the bullhorn on the floor and not being 0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:36.600 asked to be recognized. I just want to make sure 0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:39.360 you understand exactly what it is. So that was part 0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:42.239 of it, he said. We used a bullhorn, we hit 0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:46.280 the podium, we spoke out of turns, we hit the podium, 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:48.760 We like hit the podium, you know, and while we 0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.600 were talking, like slapping the podium measure you're speaking, my colleague, 0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:54.520 that was one of the things that they said, you 0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:57.560 walked up and you disrupted house proceedings or some of 0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.200 the languages that they use, just anything that I mean, 0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:03.840 trumped up charges to justify this. But here's the interesting point. 0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:06.400 The last two times people were expelled, they had committed 0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:08.520 criminal acts. I've been there. I was there for over 0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:10.520 two and a half months. I have raised my hand 0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.160 for dozens of bills, and the speaker can choose not 0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:16.480 to recognize me. Really that day I raised my hand 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.840 for the period of welcoming and honoring. The speaker refused 0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:21.040 to recognize me. Every time a bill came up that 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:22.600 I was going to speak on, I started with the 0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:24.920 sentence we need to do something about ending gun violence. 0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:26.920 The speaker said after the third time, if you do 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:29.080 that again, I will censor you for the rest of 0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:33.239 today's session. Right, So, the opportunity to even be subversive 0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:36.799 in saying something, or to use the democratic process which 0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:39.759 they tell us we're supposed to, they willed against us 0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:44.239 because the speaker is operating as some autocrat, right, as 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.960 some dictator who decides whether not democracy or debate is 0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:50.279 going to be allowed. And so from that silencing, I 0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:54.040 went out with the protesters to the galleries and outside 0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.240 of the chamber who were chanting and shouting and encouraging 0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.319 them right that we are going to fight for them. 0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.000 The speaker turned off my voting machine and told the 0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:05.719 chief clerk there he's absent. Representative Jones, they're absent. This 0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:08.120 has never happened before, and folks have been there for 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:10.000 twenty thirty years and never seen anything like. I think 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.279 it's the Afrol justin the Afrol skin. Is the white people, 0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:17.080 the Afrol, the pig, the fact that we are serious 0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:19.600 about what we're talking about. Right, Let's talk about your 0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:25.560 two A because I think there's a misconception on people 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.600 that you know, believe in the rights to bear arms 0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:31.320 versus what you're fighting. Uh as far as gun reform 0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:34.440 is concerned, and I haven't heard a lot about you 0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:37.239 know the difference between the two. So can you give 0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:39.680 us just briefly, what is it you know that you're 0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:42.400 fighting for. Are you saying abolished all weapons and nobody 0:35:42.440 --> 0:35:44.920 should have a weapon? Do you support two A? M 0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:48.920 is it the assault military style weapons? Give us Let 0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:52.160 let us know where you stand on gun violence and 0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:54.920 how you see that. Yeah, I have nothing against the 0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.680 second Amendment in people's right to bear arms. That that 0:35:57.800 --> 0:35:59.480 isn't what's an issue, But it's an issue. It is 0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:02.799 people having weapons of war on streets to walk into 0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:07.279 schools and to churches and killing people. Y'all know ten 0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:11.960 people were killed in Charleston. Nine people were killed in Charleston. Right, 0:36:12.160 --> 0:36:15.080 we having more guns, and this is the solution that 0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:18.800 Republicans are offering. Well, let's put more security officers in schools. 0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:22.240 That didn't, say the church, right, That wouldn't have helped Larry. 0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:25.360 So the problem is the guns are getting into the 0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:28.640 hands of the wrong people. And the reality is there 0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:31.920 are certain weapons that normal people shouldn't have access to, 0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:36.000 especially eighteen year olds, especially eighteen year olds, because we 0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:38.160 don't do anything. I'm definitely pro to way, but I'm 0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:41.120 also pro common sense gun reform. Common it's just common sense. 0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:43.719 We're not we're not asking to your point, we're not 0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:47.240 asking for saying anything extreme let's take everybody's gun, nobody 0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:48.920 have a gun or anything like that. We're saying that 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:50.759 there are better ways that we can do things. As 0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:52.640 the President reached out to you, old Vice, Yes, we 0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:56.600 had a good conversation with President Biden. It was reinforcing 0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:59.839 that what the Tennessee three myself Representive Johnson, represent Jones 0:36:59.880 --> 0:37:03.120 did was right and that the Responsive Republicans is anti democratic. 0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:05.680 And it's also we got an invitation to the White 0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:07.920 House to come and elevate this issue about gun violence 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:10.080 and the laws that can be passed, that have even 0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:12.920 been passed in places like Florida, red flag laws that 0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:16.719 can have a national impact. Do you think President Biden 0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.040 should be doing mortal because they hurt my heart to 0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:21.080 hear him saying that he's powerless and he can't do 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.760 anything without Congress. We know that you got the largest 0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.400 bully pulpit in the world. How about call out some 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.640 of those senators that we know get money from these 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:31.839 gun lobbyists for their campaigns. So to your point, there's 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:34.560 a responsibility and coming upon everybody who's an elected official 0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:37.200 to use their power that they do have. And this 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.759 is the same thing we say in the justice movement. Right, 0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:42.759 nobody is powerless. Right, people have been made to feel powerless, 0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.600 People have been ignored. People are not voiceless, but their 0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:48.120 voices have been ignored. And I think for the president. 0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:51.719 The Vice President did come to Nashville the following day, 0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:53.880 Vice President Kamala Harris. We got to see her and 0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:57.200 talk with her similarly reinforcing, but also she was holding 0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:59.360 in the folks accountable too. On the ground in the 0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:02.759 caption calling old body out, she did you know what 0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:04.360 I mean? So she did. I didn't hear who did 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:05.759 she call out. I didn't hear her calling you by. 0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:09.319 She definitely called out Cameron Sexton. Okay, that's the leader 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:13.280 of the House. Governor Bill Lee is the governor. William 0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:17.040 Lambert leads the Republican Party. Jammery Faison is the caucus chairman. 0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:20.720 Mark White is in Shelby County, our county and voted 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:25.000 to expel myself and my colleague Justin Jones. Yeah, we 0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:28.040 do know. Until your point, it's something about that right. 0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:31.359 We have to save their names because we need other 0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:33.200 folks to know who is it that we have a 0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:37.680 responsibility of holding accountable. And just similarly we have the responsibility, 0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:39.480 just like we have responsibility of speaking the names of 0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:41.640 those we lose, we have responsibility of speaking of the 0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:44.560 names of those who are perpetuating this harm. That's we 0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.480 got more with Justin Pierson when we come back. He's 0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:50.640 the member of the Tennessee House Representatives representing the eighty 0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:54.160 six district. You remember that he was expelled a couple 0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:56.239 of days ago. We'll kick it board with him when 0:38:56.280 --> 0:38:58.720 we come back as the Breakfast Club Morning morning, everybody 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:02.399 is d V Charlemagne the guy we are to breakfast Club. 0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:05.320 Tesla Figuo is joining usaid, we're still talking with Justin 0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:08.280 Jay Pearson. Now he was a member of the Tennessee 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:12.680 House Representatives representing the eighty six district in Memphish. If 0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.239 you remember he was expelled a couple of days ago. 0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:17.879 Tests Okay, so speaking of calling our names, then where 0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:20.560 was Representative Freeman on the floor? Is a Democrat? Right? 0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:25.400 He is a Democrat? That Why is Representative Freeman not 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:27.920 on the floor? Was not on the floor? Why was 0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:30.160 he not on the floor prior to that? Does he 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:33.000 plan to get on the floor and join you in 0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:36.480 this protest since these are actually his the constituents that 0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.600 he represent. Because I'm all about calling that Republican leadership, 0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:42.120 It's all about calling that Democrat leadership as well. And 0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:46.520 so when I see a representative that actually represents the 0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:50.279 constituents that were murdered, I want to know what's the 0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:53.120 problem with him stepping up and also being expelled and 0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:57.279 joining you in this protest. I'll tell you this. I've 0:39:57.480 --> 0:40:01.719 spoken actually to Representative Freeman. He has some legislation that 0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:03.560 I think is going to be useful and get passed. 0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:05.880 But I will tell you this, for Democrats, and I 0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:11.480 alluded this before, for Democrats in particular, going along or 0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:15.040 within the institution as it has been set up has 0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:20.120 been the norm. Resisting the institution has not. In fact, 0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:25.239 we myself, Representative Johnson, Representative Jones, have overwhelmingly heard of 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.919 folks saying like you all probably should not have done 0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:32.279 that because of the risk you can risking. It's just 0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:34.480 as bad to me on the Republican side, though, So 0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:36.799 if we're going to say that Republicans are holding up 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:40.239 holding up progress, which they are, then we have to 0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:41.879 also be fair. You don't have to do it because 0:40:41.880 --> 0:40:43.520 those are your colleagues, So that's okay, I'll do it 0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:46.560 for you today. We also have to say that Democrat 0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:49.360 leadership as well as holding up progress, because if you 0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:53.120 and mister Jones and miss Johnson were willing to be 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:56.720 expelled and lose your seat while somebody else who actually 0:40:56.840 --> 0:41:00.680 represents those who were slaughtered sits back in says nothing, 0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:03.719 then that's unacceptable. So I'll just go ahead and ask 0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:07.200 mister Freeman, are you going to join your brothers and 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:10.400 sister in protests or is he going to continue to 0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:12.239 go along with the get along like that? That's an 0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:14.920 important question. I noticed, your colleague, but I just think 0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:16.480 that needs to be out there. I always want to 0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.360 know you actually represent these people and you're saying nothing 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:22.799 at all, that's a great point. And if they don't 0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:24.799 disagree with that point, and if it's a great point, 0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:27.319 if they don't reinstate you, what's what's the plan? Oh, 0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:30.640 we keep fighting. Before we ever ran for office had 0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:33.560 any of these titles, we were actually fighting an environmental 0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:35.760 justice to stop to multi building and all the corporations 0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:39.840 from building a pipeline through black neighborhood of Boxtown in Westwood. 0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:43.600 Saved a million people's drinking water. Our community rose up again, 0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:46.560 the solidarity dividend. We got rich white people to realize 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:48.680 that if you allow them to steal black people's land 0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:51.400 and build a pipeline, all of our water gets poisoned. Right. 0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:54.439 You showed the interconnectedness and that if you hurt people 0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:58.520 who are already suffering. We all suffer. Ending gun violence 0:41:58.719 --> 0:42:01.719 is good for all of us, including our communities. And 0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:04.920 y'all know, like in our community, whether it be Nipsey 0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:08.440 Hustle or Young Dolph right like, we experience gun violence 0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:11.000 in so many ways, but the attention that it gets 0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:14.160 has almost been desensitized. And people have to realize that 0:42:14.280 --> 0:42:18.680 the effects of their legislation is having significant consequences, acutely 0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:22.399 black communities and poor communities. But doing something to fix 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:26.880 these problems benefits everybody, including their children. I'm doing a 0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:29.879 show in Memphis, car show, and the biggest thing people 0:42:29.920 --> 0:42:32.359 are scared of is safety. They want to make sure 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:34.520 they're safe. They've never had to hire this many security, 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:36.680 So that just tells me that the people in Memphis 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:39.960 actually just don't feel safe. This is not a rap performance, 0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.560 this is not a street performance. This is a family 0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:44.719 fun day. So how do we make the people of 0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:51.000 Memphis feel safe again? We have to put in real laws, policies, practices, 0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:55.239 and money into helping our communities. They passed a law 0:42:55.680 --> 0:42:58.239 after the chief of police, our chief police went to 0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:01.040 Nashville and said, please don't do this. If you do this, 0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.400 we're going to see an increase in murders. If you 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:05.560 if you have permanent list carrier, you're going to see 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:09.800 more kids breaking into cars and justice steal guns. Of course, 0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:12.960 two thousand plus cars have been broken into murders of 0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:16.520 forty four percent issue exactly the effect that we knew 0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:19.680 would happened if this Republican legislature passed. This bad legislation 0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:21.560 is what happened. So there's a fight that has to 0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:24.160 happen politically in the immediate term. We also need to 0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:26.360 think about how do we have prevention. How do we 0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:28.600 even if a sixteen year old kid has a gun, 0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:31.319 how do we get them to night use that right? 0:43:31.840 --> 0:43:33.160 Where do they need to be, what do they need 0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:36.520 to access? And the reality is there's more work I 0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:38.719 have to do, research, I have to do Ocean she 0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:42.120 works at Center for Justice Innovation, and we're talking to 0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:45.480 her organization and others like Mom's demand action. How do 0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:50.360 we invest hundreds of millions of dollars into prevention instead 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:53.840 of only offering, as people said, thoughts and prayers or 0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:56.279 praying for the person who's committing the act that God 0:43:56.360 --> 0:44:00.839 helps them see these these false salute are not going 0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.279 to get us to a safer community. Because here's the 0:44:03.360 --> 0:44:06.879 reality the guns out there. They there. It's enough guns 0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:08.480 for every person in American I have one, including the 0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:11.279 babies and children. It's enough. The guns are there, and 0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:12.960 so we're not going to go be able to go 0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:15.320 and take everybody's gun back or anything like that. So 0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:17.800 how do you actually prevent gun violence from happening in 0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.280 the first place? And you got a lot of instances 0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:21.279 of people come into side, You got a lot of 0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:26.080 instances of kids accidentally shooting one another with guns, and so, okay, 0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:27.800 is there some gun storage things that we can do 0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:30.200 that might help us? Is their mental health services that 0:44:30.239 --> 0:44:32.040 we can offer the folks as they don't believe, you know, 0:44:32.160 --> 0:44:34.720 this is the last resort. It is going to take everything. 0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:37.480 But instead of focusing on what are the right solutions, 0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:41.000 the folks in the majority party in Tennessee and folks 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:45.440 who were silently complicit alongside them, are seeking to expel 0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:48.800 and have expelled myself and Representative Jones. I want to 0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:50.439 go back to something test said when she was talking 0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:53.080 about you know, Freeman, because I always wonder about that. 0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:55.680 Do you feel like you're getting enough support from your 0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:58.160 own party? Because who's a white man, who's a white 0:44:58.200 --> 0:44:59.560 man By the way, I just want to throw that 0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:03.319 any the white man. So yeah, I wanted you feel 0:45:03.320 --> 0:45:05.080 like you're getting eno support from your own party, because 0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:07.799 I wonder what was the significance of Vice President Harris 0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:10.920 coming there other than a photo opportunity like this, She's 0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:13.800 gonna put some resources behind you, you know, so you 0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:15.800 can campaign again, like what is it? Yeah, So I 0:45:16.280 --> 0:45:18.320 thank you for raising this. One of the points that 0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:21.399 we did talk about with Vice President Harris was how 0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:26.640 do we build progressive leaders in the South. The fight 0:45:26.800 --> 0:45:30.759 for American democracy, the fight for black liberation, the fight 0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:34.279 for really everybody's liberation is under attack and siege in 0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:37.320 the South, and so the place to resist is in 0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:40.239 and I mean this, it's in state houses in Mississippi 0:45:40.280 --> 0:45:43.480 and Georgia and Tennessee, in Alabama and Florida and Texas. 0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:45.279 The work is going to be there. And we're reading 0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:48.759 this book by Charles blow Um talk talking about the devil, 0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:54.640 you know, right um? And so Vice President Harris President 0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:58.440 Biden are not leaving the issue alone. And we have 0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:01.360 talked about, Okay, how do we elevate the voices of 0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:04.120 those most impacted, the victims of gun violence that help 0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:06.080 us to come up with solutions, and then how do 0:46:06.200 --> 0:46:08.680 we get more people who believe like we believe, who 0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:10.800 are willing to sacrifice like we're willing to sacrifice to 0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:13.040 get justice. They are kind of an issue alone, though, 0:46:13.280 --> 0:46:15.800 when you hit a presidency, he's powerless. I think I 0:46:15.840 --> 0:46:18.879 can't do anything but plead the Congress to do something. Yeah, 0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:21.040 that's kind of leave an issue alone. That's kinds above 0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:22.960 me now. I think one of the things I'll say, 0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:24.600 the things that he has done well in this part 0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:26.879 are the executive actions that he's been able to take 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:29.320 when it comes to Congress, though, which is right is 0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:31.799 the federal branch that he probably has more interaction within 0:46:31.920 --> 0:46:34.440 the state. It is a question of why are the 0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:38.080 Republicans who are running the House and the Democrats who 0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:40.800 are running the Senate not taking this issue as seriously 0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:44.040 as they are. Senator Chris Murphy, he has been supportive 0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.359 of us, but we need real legislation that does ban 0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:48.640 assault weapons because the problem is if you leave it 0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:52.839 up to states, they will do the most extreme thing, 0:46:52.920 --> 0:46:55.200 maybe to their base, but when it's the federal government 0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:56.880 that's it. All of us have to abide by the 0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:59.640 same rules. And so I do believe him. Exercise a 0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:02.239 political pressure on the Congress, telling them that they do 0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:04.880 need to act and putting energy and resources behind that 0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:07.200 is going to be really important here. As you said, like, 0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.239 I'm grateful for the call, grateful the opportunity to come 0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:10.839 to the White House so that we can further talk 0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:13.160 about what do those actions look like in a deliberate fashion, 0:47:13.440 --> 0:47:15.520 Because it's hard when you see a grandmother coming to 0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:18.240 your office tell you about how her granddaughter was washing 0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:21.200 dishes and got shot. They didn't even know that there 0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:23.840 was a bullet round that had done it until a 0:47:23.880 --> 0:47:26.400 police officer saw this small little hole through the glass 0:47:26.400 --> 0:47:28.680 of the window. And you see her and you talk 0:47:28.760 --> 0:47:31.960 to her. You don't have the same response as folks 0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:35.040 who are saying, y'all just need to shut up and 0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:38.040 be quiet or not not allow you to speak. All 0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:40.719 we got more with Justin J. Pearson. When we come back, 0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:43.840 don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning, everybody's dh 0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:47.280 Envy Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Tesla 0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:51.719 Figaro is joining us, and we're still talking with Justin J. Pearson. Now. 0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:54.440 He was a member of the Tennessee House Representatives representing 0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:57.960 the eighty six district in Memphis, if you remember, he 0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:01.040 was expelled a couple of days ago tests. So I've 0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:02.520 representive here. So I do want to ask you this 0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:04.360 before you get out of here, because beyond the Afro 0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:06.399 and the the shaky, and you know, because they did 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:09.040 that in Congress, what would it tell me about your 0:48:09.080 --> 0:48:11.880 black policy? That's important to me? Yeah, when you think 0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:14.800 about so reparations, I'm one hundred percent for reparations. I 0:48:14.880 --> 0:48:19.239 have been very long time for cash for credit, for check, 0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:23.600 for credit card, for trust fund uh and And I 0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:25.480 was on Bev Johnson, another member of the I Hear 0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:28.799 radio community in January, and I explained the reason why 0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:30.759 I'm for reparations isn't just because of the enslavement of 0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:32.719 black people, because there are some people who say, well, 0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:34.440 you weren't enslaved, and then we have to walk through 0:48:34.520 --> 0:48:37.000 housing segregation, we got to walk through lynching, we gotta 0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:38.920 walk through mass and cast rache when we're experiencing now, 0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:40.920 what about reparations for all of these harms that we 0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:43.960 have experienced all Are you willing to put it on 0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:47.560 your website though, because it's not under your website on issues? Yeah? 0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:50.279 Are you willing then, Okay, I'm willing to do that. 0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:52.839 It is not the issue that people in Distric eighty 0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:55.000 six are saying it's number one for them, because it's 0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:57.520 to the point that was made earlier. They're definitely concerned 0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:59.880 about safety, they're concerned about crime. A lot of my 0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:02.920 population also elderly, and so you'll see on the website 0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:06.279 Aging Justice. There's not enough money in social security to 0:49:06.360 --> 0:49:09.879 actually help elders live out the rest of their lives 0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:12.840 in a meaningful way. So policies that we're putting forward 0:49:12.920 --> 0:49:15.560 have to do with people being able to grow old well, 0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:19.759 which not include financial increases in money, by creating opportunities 0:49:19.920 --> 0:49:22.640 for them to gather and to have community. I live 0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:25.720 in the most polluted, one of the most polluted districts 0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:28.920 in the state, and so God rest their souls. Both 0:49:29.000 --> 0:49:31.200 my grandmothers have died of cancer, my grandmother Pierce and 0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.319 grandmother Gwynn, and it was due to environmental racism, which 0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:37.600 disproportionally hurt black people and poor people. So both my 0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:40.799 grandmothers lived in a community community I live in now 0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:43.759 where there are seventeen toxic release inventory facilities that are 0:49:43.800 --> 0:49:46.880 polluting our air, water and our soil. And so the 0:49:46.960 --> 0:49:49.839 black policy that I have, as you articulated so well, 0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:53.920 is finding where there are the injustices and environment and education, 0:49:54.239 --> 0:49:56.440 dealing with gun violence and everything that we can do, 0:49:56.600 --> 0:50:00.440 putting the resources toward them, because it's indeed the majority 0:50:00.440 --> 0:50:02.880 of my district that's being impacted of the effects of 0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:05.680 it continue to be on everybody. And what is important 0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:09.120 to note here is that for us to seek and 0:50:09.200 --> 0:50:12.320 to be a part of liberation, and this is really important, 0:50:12.360 --> 0:50:16.320 the people who do have the resources also have a responsibility. 0:50:16.520 --> 0:50:19.160 And so when I talk about white people's engagement and involvement, 0:50:19.239 --> 0:50:21.520 it is not to say I'm just concerned about what 0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:23.560 they think or what they feel. Is because I believe 0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:25.480 white people and people of privilege and power have a 0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:28.319 responsibility of choosing a social location with the people who 0:50:28.320 --> 0:50:31.200 are being marginalized because they got they have our money 0:50:31.280 --> 0:50:33.320 and our resources, and they have a lot of what 0:50:33.440 --> 0:50:35.440 they have because of what we do not. And so 0:50:35.560 --> 0:50:38.799 I probially represent the pierson when they highlight you though 0:50:38.880 --> 0:50:41.040 as the black man. See that's the thing, you know, 0:50:41.239 --> 0:50:42.840 they keep saying, you know, you did this to a 0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:45.160 black guy. You did this to the black guy. Representative 0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:48.400 Johnson said, you know you were expelled because you were black. 0:50:48.560 --> 0:50:50.919 So see, we got to be consistent if we're gonna 0:50:50.960 --> 0:50:53.439 push black when it's time to say, hey, come rally 0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:55.399 around us, and I'm on your side. I'm just telling 0:50:55.440 --> 0:50:58.200 you being very fair. You know about how this looks 0:50:58.239 --> 0:51:00.680 when we're saying black black black black black black, I 0:51:00.719 --> 0:51:02.960 gotta dashiki, I gotta afro, I'm black and black bleak 0:51:03.160 --> 0:51:05.279 bey black, and then we get to the policy and 0:51:05.320 --> 0:51:09.080 say everybody else. It disengages a lot of folks. And 0:51:09.239 --> 0:51:11.720 so when I look at people's issues on the website, 0:51:11.760 --> 0:51:13.960 you do mention black when you talk about a criminal 0:51:14.000 --> 0:51:17.680 justice reform, But when I look at the other you know, policies, 0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:20.560 you talk about black voting rights and criminal justice reform. 0:51:20.680 --> 0:51:22.120 So I would just like to see and this is 0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:24.600 just something you know, for the toolbox, because I've also 0:51:24.680 --> 0:51:26.880 seen a brother. You've gotten a lot of accolades from 0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:30.000 a lot of black organizations. Shout out to Tammy. I 0:51:30.120 --> 0:51:33.080 saw your and Memphis was defending your honor, you know, 0:51:33.239 --> 0:51:35.799 with me in a three hour tourter space. So I'm 0:51:35.840 --> 0:51:37.880 posing these questions to you because I want people to 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:40.319 know more about you and what you do for black 0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:45.800 wearing a dash. People to realize in every issue that 0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:50.200 exists in our society, in our country, black people's liberation 0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:54.880 must be prioritized. Right, It's every issue, and so forgive 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:56.879 it if it's if it doesn't say it at every issue, 0:51:56.920 --> 0:51:59.800 but any time that we are speaking about justice, that 0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:03.160 is inherently a black issue, and it is important as 0:52:03.200 --> 0:52:05.239 well that it be said. And I understand that. But 0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:08.720 it has to be a prioritization of black people within issues, 0:52:08.960 --> 0:52:12.640 but is everyone. And the thinking right for true liberation 0:52:12.800 --> 0:52:16.960 is that we have to not only prioritize in policy 0:52:17.040 --> 0:52:19.200 or even prioritizing what we speak, but it's to help 0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:22.560 other folks recognize that when you're talking about black people, 0:52:22.600 --> 0:52:24.800 it is not to the exclusion of everyone else. The 0:52:24.960 --> 0:52:30.400 national policy is that you have a supermajority Republican legislature 0:52:30.680 --> 0:52:35.320 who by partisan vote expelled two black men, but on 0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:40.359 expulsion Representative Johnson because we stood up against the NRA, 0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.000 because we stood up or an end to gun violence. 0:52:43.200 --> 0:52:46.000 The result is the expulsion of two black men. But 0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:49.080 how we got here is part of the problem, and 0:52:49.200 --> 0:52:52.480 it's because we have an antidemocratic institution being run by 0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:56.200 people who are being funded by the National Rifle Association 0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:58.839 of the Tennessee Firearms Association. Can't people say that more? 0:52:59.000 --> 0:53:01.759 That what pisses me off about this whole situation. That's 0:53:01.800 --> 0:53:03.920 what I want to hear more people say, we know 0:53:04.160 --> 0:53:08.440 why so many Republicans are against, you know, gun reform 0:53:08.560 --> 0:53:10.640 even though the majority of people want to see it. 0:53:11.280 --> 0:53:13.120 Tays No, We've been talking about this, you know for 0:53:13.160 --> 0:53:16.080 the past few days. I hate when people forget about 0:53:16.160 --> 0:53:18.719 the issue. I see everybody saying, oh, these guys are stars, 0:53:19.120 --> 0:53:21.719 and you know they've they've been propelled to start them. Now. 0:53:21.920 --> 0:53:24.320 I don't care about that. I care about the issue, 0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:26.120 that's right, you know, And I've seen this before. We 0:53:26.160 --> 0:53:28.840 saw this disrespect. We saw this with Kaepernick. You know, 0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:32.120 Kaepernick came out talking about a specific issue, which police brutality. 0:53:32.280 --> 0:53:34.279 Then it turned into well, he got kicked out of 0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:35.680 the NFL, he got black ball from that fil and 0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:38.080 everybody started focusing on that. That's not the issue, right. 0:53:38.320 --> 0:53:41.640 The issue is gun legislation, right, one last question before 0:53:41.680 --> 0:53:44.280 you go up. You know, the main thing is people's 0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.840 voices were disenfranchised. And when we make it about the person, 0:53:47.920 --> 0:53:50.400 the politician, then people start arguing about you, you know, 0:53:50.480 --> 0:53:52.480 well was he? This was he? That when we make 0:53:52.520 --> 0:53:54.120 it about the issue, then you're gonna have two eight 0:53:54.120 --> 0:53:56.440 people say, well, he shouldn't be fighting gun by. I 0:53:56.560 --> 0:53:58.120 believe that if we center it on the fact that 0:53:58.280 --> 0:54:00.920 seventy thousand, whether collect three of you, over two hundred 0:54:00.920 --> 0:54:04.960 thousand people's voice were removed, I think that's a bipartisan 0:54:05.000 --> 0:54:07.319 thing that anybody should have a problem with, even if 0:54:07.360 --> 0:54:09.680 it's a issue that they disagree. So if this happened 0:54:09.680 --> 0:54:12.839 to a conservative, would you be an agreement that people 0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:15.759 should be expelled just because somebody doesn't like what they say? 0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:18.960 Never never right. And I've had conservative people come to 0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:21.120 me and been like, this is wrong on every single level. 0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:25.120 I would never vote to expel someone for breaking a 0:54:25.239 --> 0:54:27.560 House to corn rule because what they said is something 0:54:27.600 --> 0:54:29.919 I don't like. I don't like these people who say 0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:35.000 there should be no exceptions when someone gets raped or 0:54:35.560 --> 0:54:38.440 there's incest and they need an abortion, I don't. I 0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:41.239 don't like what they say when they say everybody needs 0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:43.640 access to an assault rifle. I don't like those things. 0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:46.000 But that does not mean that the people who elected 0:54:46.080 --> 0:54:48.360 you don't deserve to have you represent them. In the 0:54:48.440 --> 0:54:50.480 way that you think they should. And it does not 0:54:50.640 --> 0:54:52.759 mean that I deserve in any way, shape or form 0:54:52.840 --> 0:54:54.840 to be able to take your voice or your power 0:54:54.960 --> 0:54:58.360 away in a democratic process in setting. And so that 0:54:58.560 --> 0:55:00.800 that is that this is a part of the issue 0:55:01.040 --> 0:55:04.719 that we're in an institution that is being and operating 0:55:04.760 --> 0:55:08.359 in an anti democratic way. And folks again on both 0:55:08.400 --> 0:55:11.480 sides of the Republicans and Democrats outside of the chambers 0:55:11.640 --> 0:55:14.479 have said the same thing. You can't take people's First 0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:19.320 Amendment and away because you believe there's some absolutism that 0:55:19.520 --> 0:55:22.919 doesn't even deserve a peaceful protest related to the Second 0:55:22.960 --> 0:55:27.000 Amendment in a country built on protests. No, thank you, Justin. 0:55:27.120 --> 0:55:30.200 We appreciate you. I appreciate y'all this morning. You appreciate 0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:32.239 you too. Justin. Thank you so much for allowing me 0:55:32.280 --> 0:55:34.279 to pull that stuff out. And I look forward to 0:55:34.440 --> 0:55:38.319 Representative Bob Freemen of the Democrat who actually represents those 0:55:38.360 --> 0:55:42.759 slaughters of speaking up. Keep us posted your campaign or 0:55:43.040 --> 0:55:45.440 yeah again, you see the issues that we have on 0:55:45.520 --> 0:55:47.800 our website. Go to vote justin Jay dot com.

For us, we're gonna say engaged 0:56:00.600 --> 0:56:03.600 and all this because we know the effect that it has. 0:56:04.000 --> 0:56:05.920 We know this was the catalyst for it was the 0:56:05.960 --> 0:56:09.640 tragic death of six people in Nashville at the Covenant School. 0:56:09.800 --> 0:56:12.680 But that does not again and this day after resurrection, right, 0:56:12.719 --> 0:56:14.480 that doesn't have to be the end. And so it's 0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:16.680 a part of that conversation that work is building this 0:56:16.800 --> 0:56:19.960 movement the end gun violence, but also to do the 0:56:20.000 --> 0:56:22.080 work of justice and so many different issues in areas 0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:25.000 that impact black folk and particularly poor float poor folk 0:56:25.040 --> 0:56:28.520 in our communities.

Swelle talks about losing 0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:18.440 his girlfriend to a truck driver. I was living in 0:57:19.040 --> 0:57:21.640 some producers basement. My ex girl she broke up with me. 0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:24.400 I'm it's like one of my first girlfriends. So Boom, 0:57:24.520 --> 0:57:25.880 she can't went to the crib one day. I ain't 0:57:25.880 --> 0:57:28.040 got no French are We're sitting on the floor, Sweet Boom, 0:57:28.400 --> 0:57:30.640 I can't be with you anymore. Why she left me 0:57:30.680 --> 0:57:35.320 for this? Still Boom did the truck driver. But he's 0:57:35.360 --> 0:57:37.840 making like seven K one, twelve K one. I'm gonna 0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:39.640 take play it out though. When you got a five 0:57:40.040 --> 0:57:42.880 so it had a car man. She put him in 0:57:42.960 --> 0:57:51.560 a card to my I'm driving it. Okay, you we 0:57:51.680 --> 0:57:56.320 sell you trip over here. Don't need to come over 0:57:56.360 --> 0:58:04.160 here and do what I'm doing. Sh suped up a 0:58:04.200 --> 0:58:07.680 lot of stop letting your girl do that thing, bottom 0:58:07.720 --> 0:58:09.840 truck drivers when y'all pass him on the highway, stop 0:58:10.000 --> 0:58:12.240 telling your girls, stop letting your girl say blow the 0:58:12.320 --> 0:58:14.360 horn or whatever the hell that is. Let's blow the horn. 0:58:14.440 --> 0:58:18.040 There you go. Yes, that story sounded so funny because 0:58:18.040 --> 0:58:20.600 he was like, I was living in my producer's basement. Right, 0:58:22.040 --> 0:58:23.680 it was interesting. I don't think you had anything to 0:58:23.720 --> 0:58:26.240 do with the money. The guy probably just had his 0:58:26.320 --> 0:58:28.160 life together. He had the vibe like she was feeling 0:58:28.200 --> 0:58:30.120 his vibe. You know, he was treating it the right way. 0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:32.360 You know, that's all it was. Because even if he 0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:35.919 was up and coming artist, if she really was into 0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:37.720 him and really had that connection, she wouldn't have left 0:58:37.760 --> 0:58:39.680 him for the truck driver. Yeah, but what he said 0:58:39.760 --> 0:58:41.840 was money related though, because he says he was making 0:58:41.920 --> 0:58:45.360 like seven K twelve K a month. Then maybe that 0:58:45.520 --> 0:58:48.800 just told you you should have said thank you. Yeah right, 0:58:49.120 --> 0:58:50.720 I'm gonna eve truck drops blowed at home when they 0:58:50.760 --> 0:58:52.880 heard that story. Just now. I'm sure all of them. 0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:56.280 I'm sure all of them. Now. Kendrick Perkins, you know 0:58:56.360 --> 0:58:58.320 he works for ESPN. He does our first take with 0:58:58.520 --> 0:59:01.400 Stephen a smith for times now he was. He went 0:59:01.480 --> 0:59:06.840 viral yesterday and that's because he was breathing loudly. Did 0:59:06.960 --> 0:59:10.320 not believe they were gonna do a damn thing this post. 0:59:10.840 --> 0:59:13.600 That's why the decision that they made, so we can 0:59:13.760 --> 0:59:20.600 lament the decision. Man. The reason why is we think 0:59:20.800 --> 0:59:25.920 they're not that good. We don't know if that brother 0:59:26.000 --> 0:59:28.120 gotta sleep happening or something. Man, I don't know. I 0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:30.880 feel like Kendrick always breaths hard, though it was extra 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:34.040 on the other day, so smooth, the big perk, he said. 0:59:34.040 --> 0:59:36.960 They clarified that I'm working. I'm battling the flu while 0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:39.560 I'm working. Some people take days off, not me. There 0:59:39.840 --> 0:59:41.320 it sounds like he had what I had, Like I 0:59:41.400 --> 0:59:43.439 had to polyps in my nose. I used to breathe hard. Listen, 0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:46.439 I'm telling you, and I first take with no nose jobs, 0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:51.200 just not a nose job, but I had polyps in 0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:53.360 my nose that would make it very difficult to breathe. 0:59:53.600 --> 0:59:55.600 Red used to say, Envy, why are you breathing so hard? 0:59:55.680 --> 0:59:57.840 Nobody ain't never heard Ray used to say that the 0:59:57.960 --> 1:00:00.520 envy crazy Red? Did you say that before I was 1:00:03.280 --> 1:00:05.320 I was in the room with those counts. Now Red 1:00:05.400 --> 1:00:07.440 used to say, you breathing hard. I went to I 1:00:07.520 --> 1:00:09.760 went to the doctor because I was snoring a lot, 1:00:09.920 --> 1:00:12.600 and they removed the polyps, which helped me breathe a 1:00:12.640 --> 1:00:15.280 lot easier. I did not get you notice the contour 1:00:15.560 --> 1:00:17.760 around the nose. You don't notice. You don't notice the 1:00:17.800 --> 1:00:20.040 little shave off you got here. There's no shave off. 1:00:20.080 --> 1:00:21.240 I told you. But if I was gonna get a 1:00:21.560 --> 1:00:23.200 nose jef, I get the Peter Pan Like that's in 1:00:23.320 --> 1:00:28.120 styles Like I'm just joking. Yeah, the one though Peter 1:00:28.200 --> 1:00:30.040 Pan is like your nose come up a little bit. Nah. 1:00:30.960 --> 1:00:35.440 Now now young m a uh, she's we haven't seen 1:00:35.520 --> 1:00:37.400 her in a long time, but she says she's on 1:00:37.480 --> 1:00:40.160 the road to recovery. She says she had a recent 1:00:40.280 --> 1:00:42.240 health scare. She's not telling people what it is, but 1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:44.160 she talks about it and says she's gonna be uh 1:00:44.480 --> 1:00:46.880 putting in her struggles in the new music in documentary. 1:00:47.520 --> 1:00:50.440 Long story short, basically, you know, just a small setback, 1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:53.160 you know what I mean for just come back. Unfortunately, 1:00:53.160 --> 1:00:55.800 I made a lot of wrong decisions um in my life, 1:00:56.160 --> 1:00:58.320 and you know, things starting to come you know, catch 1:00:58.400 --> 1:01:00.240 up with you, or whatever the case. So I just 1:01:00.280 --> 1:01:03.040 want you to know besides all that I'm actually doing 1:01:03.160 --> 1:01:06.640 much better. I've been getting well, you know, I've been 1:01:06.880 --> 1:01:09.440 very much sober, you know, besides you know, dropping some 1:01:09.560 --> 1:01:13.480 new music. Of course, I'm also have a documentary with 1:01:13.680 --> 1:01:16.680 my story or whatever the case. So I keep beyond tune, 1:01:16.760 --> 1:01:18.520 catch your back up because I know, y'all I've been 1:01:18.640 --> 1:01:21.440 wondering and all that. Yeah, I normally sterious, you know, 1:01:21.520 --> 1:01:24.960 I keep my personal problems to myself, but now it's talking, 1:01:25.000 --> 1:01:27.920 you know, expand that and express that to y'all. So 1:01:28.400 --> 1:01:31.320 basically to say like there's gonna be one of it 1:01:31.440 --> 1:01:33.680 made summers. It's gonna be one of those it may summers, 1:01:33.720 --> 1:01:36.840 I promise you. Now. It's all started when her Barba 1:01:36.920 --> 1:01:38.959 posted a video of her getting her haircut, and people 1:01:39.040 --> 1:01:41.400 noticed that she looked a lot thinner, and also that 1:01:41.600 --> 1:01:45.240 her eyes were yellow. Usually when your eyes are yellow, 1:01:45.280 --> 1:01:48.680 that's usually a sign of liver problems. So we don't 1:01:48.720 --> 1:01:50.280 know what's going on with her, but I'm glad that 1:01:50.360 --> 1:01:51.960 she looks a lot better and that she says she's 1:01:52.000 --> 1:01:53.640 on the road to recovery, gonna get some new music, 1:01:53.680 --> 1:01:56.400 a documentary, and shout the young may. Yeah, she's such 1:01:56.440 --> 1:02:00.280 a talented rapper. She's she's really good. Definitely sending the 1:02:00.320 --> 1:02:02.680 healing energy the young man, because I mean, you know 1:02:02.720 --> 1:02:04.760 what I pray. I definitely pray for good health. Like 1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:06.760 good health is one of those things that you always 1:02:07.000 --> 1:02:09.640 absolutely include in your prayers, like you know, good mental health, 1:02:09.720 --> 1:02:12.880 good physical health, good spiritual health. So yeah, definitely sending 1:02:12.920 --> 1:02:15.240 healing energy the young man. Yeah. I had a close 1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:17.960 friend that had a problem with his liver and his 1:02:18.120 --> 1:02:19.800 his eyes turted yellow at first, and he had to 1:02:19.920 --> 1:02:22.840 you almost had to get a liver. He had to, 1:02:22.960 --> 1:02:25.640 you know, almost, but no, he almost had to. But 1:02:26.200 --> 1:02:29.120 I guess your livers is that one organ that repairs itself. 1:02:29.200 --> 1:02:31.320 I'm not too sure, but I have no idea. He's 1:02:31.320 --> 1:02:33.600 doing a thousand times better. And I'm a doctor, but 1:02:33.680 --> 1:02:35.880 not that kind of doctor. You're not a doctor. I'm 1:02:35.880 --> 1:02:38.120 an honorary doctor from so I can sit university even 1:02:38.120 --> 1:02:41.520 didn't go there. My mother did. What does that name did? 1:02:41.960 --> 1:02:45.360 My mother did? And I have a scholarship an endowment 1:02:45.440 --> 1:02:47.560 fund at South Carolina State University. He paid for it 1:02:47.640 --> 1:02:53.040 and so donated money to have an honorary doctor and 1:02:53.080 --> 1:02:54.720 I'm a doctor, but not that kind of doctor. I 1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:57.920 don't know anything about livers. All right, doctor mckelh, you 1:02:58.000 --> 1:03:01.520 go the dolly Lama. You know he probably wants it. 1:03:01.600 --> 1:03:03.120 But the dolly Lama needs to come to the front 1:03:03.120 --> 1:03:05.160 of the cargation. We'd like to have a word with him. 1:03:05.160 --> 1:03:07.480 He doesn't want your donkey. I'm too old. You're too old, friend, 1:03:07.680 --> 1:03:09.320 but we'll get into it. Next it's the breakfast Club. 1:03:09.360 --> 1:03:12.840 Good morning. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. 1:03:15.240 --> 1:03:17.960 It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. 1:03:17.960 --> 1:03:19.560 I could take it if you feel I deserve it. 1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:21.440 Ain't no big deal, I know, Charlotte, many guys go 1:03:21.560 --> 1:03:23.960 out funny sall you gotta say something you may not 1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:26.400 agree with. Doesn't mean I mean he's getting that donkey, 1:03:26.480 --> 1:03:29.560 that donkey that don't don't don't don't don't donkey other 1:03:29.640 --> 1:03:33.480 day right there. So the breakfast club, bitch, you can 1:03:33.560 --> 1:03:36.160 call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean, 1:03:36.240 --> 1:03:39.880 no harm Wow, old donkey of today for Tuesday, April eleventh, 1:03:40.000 --> 1:03:42.560 goes to the dolly Llama. I said dolly Llama, not 1:03:42.760 --> 1:03:45.160 Dolly mommy, as you heard Drake say on that New 1:03:45.240 --> 1:03:48.120 record he put out last week Search and Rescue. Apparently, 1:03:48.240 --> 1:03:51.240 Dolly Mommy means do it mommy, or come on mommy 1:03:51.360 --> 1:03:55.400 in Spanish? Am I right about that? Dolly, Dolly, Dolly mamma, 1:03:55.680 --> 1:03:57.920 do it mommay, come on mamma. Well, if that's what 1:03:58.040 --> 1:04:00.400 Dolly Mommy means, then Dolly Lama must me do it 1:04:00.520 --> 1:04:03.320 daddy or come on daddy, because yesterday we saw the 1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:05.640 spiritual leader of the Yellow Hats attempting to get his 1:04:05.720 --> 1:04:08.560 freak on. What are you talking about, Uncle Charlae. Honestly, 1:04:08.600 --> 1:04:10.240 I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't 1:04:10.280 --> 1:04:12.720 know the Dolly Lama's intentions behind what he did. I 1:04:12.920 --> 1:04:14.840 just know what I saw, and I saw that eighty 1:04:14.880 --> 1:04:16.760 seven year old man kiss the little boy on the 1:04:16.840 --> 1:04:19.680 lips and then ask the little boy to suck his tongue. 1:04:19.960 --> 1:04:22.240 Let's go to CBS News Miami for the report. Police. 1:04:22.520 --> 1:04:25.760 The Dolli Lama is facing criticism after a video emerged 1:04:25.800 --> 1:04:29.120 showing him kissing a child on the lips then asking 1:04:29.240 --> 1:04:32.480 him to suck his tongue. Now, this happened in February 1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:34.920 at an event in India. The video shows the young 1:04:35.000 --> 1:04:38.080 boy approaching and asking for a hug. That's when the 1:04:38.120 --> 1:04:41.080 Dolli Lama invited the boy on stage and kissed him. 1:04:41.400 --> 1:04:44.560 And the statement released today, the Dali Lama apologized, adding 1:04:44.680 --> 1:04:47.800 he often teases people he meets in an innocent and 1:04:47.960 --> 1:04:51.240 playful way. But he added that he regrets this incident. 1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:53.960 Now we have the actual audio of him asking get 1:04:54.000 --> 1:05:05.760 his tongue sucked right and the sun might tongue now nasty. 1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:08.160 That's another statement. Now. I was reading an article in 1:05:08.240 --> 1:05:11.240 the Independent and they were saying that. Online the Dolly 1:05:11.360 --> 1:05:14.280 Daddy's supporters were defending him, saying that the exchange can 1:05:14.320 --> 1:05:18.160 be explained by Tibetan culture. Okay, what is the culture? Well, 1:05:18.520 --> 1:05:21.720 according to a twenty fourteen BBC article, sticking out your 1:05:21.800 --> 1:05:24.680 tongue can be considered as rude, but in Tibet it's 1:05:24.680 --> 1:05:26.800 the way of greeting. It has been a tradition followed 1:05:26.840 --> 1:05:29.440 by the Tibetan people since the ninth century, when the 1:05:29.520 --> 1:05:32.760 region was ruled by Laying Drama, who was known for 1:05:32.880 --> 1:05:35.360 a black tongue. After the death of the king, the 1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:37.680 locals started showing their tongues when it asked to confirm 1:05:37.760 --> 1:05:41.320 that they are not like him, are his reincarnation. Okay. 1:05:41.360 --> 1:05:44.320 The Institute of East Asian Studies you see Berkeley, also 1:05:44.440 --> 1:05:47.600 mentions this, and it's twenty fourteen piece. The institute said 1:05:47.600 --> 1:05:49.560 on this website that's sticking out one's tongue is a 1:05:49.640 --> 1:05:52.440 sign of respect, our agreement and was often used as 1:05:52.440 --> 1:05:56.760 a greeting and traditional Tibetan culture. Okay, for every digital 1:05:56.840 --> 1:05:59.480 d head, all internet imbeciles using this as an excuse, 1:05:59.560 --> 1:06:02.160 y'all are seeing the devil damn point per usual. He 1:06:02.200 --> 1:06:03.960 didn't just ask him to stick out his tongue. He 1:06:04.080 --> 1:06:05.919 kissed him on the lips. As far as I notice. 1:06:05.960 --> 1:06:08.560 Isn't his child, his grandchild, a relative, just the young boy. 1:06:08.600 --> 1:06:10.000 And not only did he kiss him on the lips, 1:06:10.200 --> 1:06:12.720 he asked the young boy to suck his tongue. It's 1:06:12.800 --> 1:06:15.240 that part of the culture. Okay, I know it's part 1:06:15.240 --> 1:06:17.440 of the culture. One of my favorite TV shows, Dave 1:06:17.600 --> 1:06:20.160 dropped on a Clue's bomb for Dave. Okay, I love 1:06:20.280 --> 1:06:22.000 Dave on effects all right. I was on the last 1:06:22.040 --> 1:06:23.920 episode of the first season, but season two in the 1:06:23.960 --> 1:06:27.240 first few episodes of the new season, fan freaking tastic. Okay, 1:06:27.240 --> 1:06:29.040 I just got caught up over the last couple of weeks. 1:06:29.080 --> 1:06:32.120 But on Dave, Gaida and Little Dickie are always talking 1:06:32.160 --> 1:06:34.840 about getting sucked. Literally, that's how they describe it. That's 1:06:34.880 --> 1:06:37.440 what they call it. I got sucked. The dolly Lama 1:06:37.520 --> 1:06:39.960 might as well as used Dave's line when he was 1:06:40.000 --> 1:06:45.320 talking to the little boy. Somebody's sucked me. Yes, you know, 1:06:45.400 --> 1:06:47.360 I just disturbed so many of us because so many 1:06:47.400 --> 1:06:50.520 of us have been molested by older people in our lives. Okay, 1:06:50.560 --> 1:06:52.640 including me, all right, I wrote two New York Times 1:06:52.720 --> 1:06:54.600 best selling books. I've discussed it. But for those of 1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:57.240 us who have been molested by older people as usually 1:06:57.280 --> 1:06:59.920 older people that we are supposed to trust, family, men 1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:03.120 with spiritual leaders, in some cases teachers, people who are 1:07:03.160 --> 1:07:06.080 supposed to serve our greater good are usually the ones 1:07:06.120 --> 1:07:08.360 taking advantage of us as kids. So trust me when 1:07:08.400 --> 1:07:11.600 I tell you the reaction to stuff like this is personal. Okay. 1:07:11.600 --> 1:07:13.320 And when you got young kids, like so many of 1:07:13.440 --> 1:07:16.200 us do, and you've been touched on before, the parental 1:07:16.280 --> 1:07:20.120 paranoia that we experienced in no situations I don't even 1:07:20.160 --> 1:07:21.800 have time to describe to you. All right, now, Okay, 1:07:21.800 --> 1:07:24.600 that's what my therapist is for. But trusting, believe this image. 1:07:24.640 --> 1:07:26.960 This image of sets my demons. And in this era 1:07:27.240 --> 1:07:30.120 where you can go online and read qua non conspiracy 1:07:30.200 --> 1:07:33.840 theories of celebrity pedophile rings and Valencia yago, when they 1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:37.480 got the ad campaigns depicting kids and bdms to tire 1:07:37.600 --> 1:07:40.240 and the child pornography court ruling papers, and let's not 1:07:40.360 --> 1:07:43.919 even start talking about the priests and the Catholic Church, okay, 1:07:44.000 --> 1:07:46.160 which is what I'm sure a lot of people thought 1:07:46.160 --> 1:07:50.040 about when they saw this. Now, the Dolly Lamba did apologize, Okay, 1:07:50.120 --> 1:07:52.040 he apologized to the boy in his family and said 1:07:52.080 --> 1:07:54.680 he regrets the incident. No, he probably regret that the 1:07:54.760 --> 1:07:57.439 cameras were rolling. You probably regret that you got caught. Okay. 1:07:57.440 --> 1:07:59.720 You don't just randomly ask little boys to suck your 1:08:00.400 --> 1:08:02.520 And honestly, sucking at the tongue might be more intimate 1:08:02.560 --> 1:08:05.240 than sucking at the meat. You're sucking somebody tongue, especially 1:08:05.240 --> 1:08:07.120 in this era of COVID and monkey pots. What's the 1:08:07.160 --> 1:08:10.360 COVID requirements into bet All the eighty plus year olds 1:08:10.400 --> 1:08:14.040 I know to this day, to this daywear mask around everybody, 1:08:14.400 --> 1:08:17.439 especially little germ carrying kids. But this man, the Dolly Mama, 1:08:18.240 --> 1:08:22.320 Dolly Mama, Dolly Malama is willing to risk respiratory disease 1:08:22.400 --> 1:08:24.840 at his age because he wants to get his muscular 1:08:25.080 --> 1:08:27.680 organ in his mouth. That age and chewing, speaking and 1:08:27.800 --> 1:08:33.200 breathing sucked, the apology continues. The Dolly Lama often teases 1:08:33.240 --> 1:08:35.600 people he meets in an innocent and playful way. His 1:08:35.760 --> 1:08:38.280 holiness wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, 1:08:38.479 --> 1:08:40.479 as well as his many friends across the world, for 1:08:40.560 --> 1:08:43.240 the hurt his words may have caused. Hey man, maybe 1:08:43.280 --> 1:08:45.719 I'm looking at this through a Western lens, or maybe 1:08:45.720 --> 1:08:48.599 I'm thinking about being molested myself and how that adult 1:08:48.960 --> 1:08:51.479 started in an innocent and playful way. As the Dolly 1:08:51.560 --> 1:08:54.040 Lama described it in his apology, Maybe I'm just an 1:08:54.080 --> 1:08:57.160 anxiety written parent who's triggered by his own traumas. And 1:08:57.240 --> 1:08:59.439 when I see this video, I say to myself, I 1:08:59.479 --> 1:09:02.600 would absolutely pistol with any adult who played with my 1:09:02.720 --> 1:09:05.920 kids like that. Okay, all I know is in this moment, 1:09:06.640 --> 1:09:09.000 I feel like it's very appropriate to ask for me 1:09:09.080 --> 1:09:11.680 Ma to give the Dali Lama the biggest he haw 1:09:12.040 --> 1:09:19.120 he haw he ha. You stupid mother? Are you dumb? Thoughts? Thoughts? Listen? 1:09:19.280 --> 1:09:22.200 I completely agree with what you said. I was triggered, 1:09:22.240 --> 1:09:24.600 and you know I've been molested and it was just 1:09:25.439 --> 1:09:28.760 it was off. It was reminiscent of what we see 1:09:28.800 --> 1:09:31.760 with the Catholic Church. We also think about, you know, 1:09:31.880 --> 1:09:35.120 little children throughout the world that are defenseless. When this 1:09:35.320 --> 1:09:38.840 man calls himself his holiness, and when we give these 1:09:38.920 --> 1:09:41.360 people these titles and we revere them in this way, 1:09:41.439 --> 1:09:44.880 then they are absolved from being held accountable for a 1:09:44.960 --> 1:09:47.000 lot of their actions. And you know, you see that 1:09:47.080 --> 1:09:49.719 with the Catholic Church all the time. That was not cool. 1:09:49.760 --> 1:09:52.599 That was like a Freudian slip. Absolutely, What happens next? Now? 1:09:53.520 --> 1:09:56.160 Does he does he lose his power? I don't know, 1:09:56.640 --> 1:09:59.200 you know, I don't know. He just kidd seem let 1:09:59.280 --> 1:10:02.080 me suck your tongue and you just stay there. Maybe 1:10:02.120 --> 1:10:03.960 it's different over there. I don't know. He's gonna be 1:10:04.080 --> 1:10:05.840 right where, he's gonna be right where you is. Yeah, 1:10:06.040 --> 1:10:08.439 I don't know. Jesus, All right, well, thank you for 1:10:08.520 --> 1:10:11.840 that donkey today. Yes, all right, now, when we come back, 1:10:11.920 --> 1:10:15.360 let's open. Jesus would never you said, Jesus, You're right, 1:10:15.479 --> 1:10:19.599 Jesus wouldn't never. All right, stop, all right, but let's 1:10:19.600 --> 1:10:21.800 open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five 1:10:21.880 --> 1:10:25.680 one on five one. Let's talk ben Zeno. Now, the 1:10:25.760 --> 1:10:28.559 reason we're discussing ben Zino is, uh, we don't have audio, 1:10:28.600 --> 1:10:31.560 do we. Oh? We have ben Zino talking about marijuana 1:10:31.600 --> 1:10:34.479 and his daughter Coy Laurey. Let's listen because she's about 1:10:34.800 --> 1:10:37.639 fifteen sixteen. Listen that she can't she's smoking. I don't 1:10:37.680 --> 1:10:39.599 want her to smoke, of course. So it's like damn, 1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:40.800 like we know. So I don't want to be the 1:10:40.880 --> 1:10:46.960 bad guy exactly what you want your kids to be 1:10:47.080 --> 1:10:52.400 better than right. It's called necessary hypocrisy, But you won't stop. 1:10:52.600 --> 1:10:57.559 I like that. No, say that again? Necessary all right, 1:10:57.600 --> 1:10:59.760 So we're opening up the phone lines eight hundred five 1:11:00.120 --> 1:11:03.120 five one oh five one. Would you smoke marijuana with 1:11:03.240 --> 1:11:06.559 your kids? We're taking it out of Benzino. Benzino brought 1:11:06.600 --> 1:11:08.519 the conversation because he was talking about weed, and he 1:11:08.720 --> 1:11:11.280 him smoking weed, and he probably you know, seeing his daughter, 1:11:11.400 --> 1:11:13.360 his daughter probably seeing him do it, and she started doing. 1:11:13.439 --> 1:11:16.160 But we're asking would you smoke marijuana what your kids? 1:11:16.439 --> 1:11:18.360 I think what he said is true. I don't, I don't. 1:11:18.520 --> 1:11:21.560 I gotta look more into the term necessary hypocrisy. But 1:11:22.000 --> 1:11:25.080 I think it's almost impossible to not be hypocritical with 1:11:25.160 --> 1:11:26.840 your kids, right, you know what I mean, because you 1:11:26.920 --> 1:11:29.519 don't want them to make the same mistakes that you 1:11:29.680 --> 1:11:32.720 did when you was that that age, even even if 1:11:32.760 --> 1:11:35.200 you still do it now. You know. Yeah, I never 1:11:35.280 --> 1:11:38.720 went home and told my daughter teenage pregnancy. Let's got 1:11:40.920 --> 1:11:43.120 But that is the question. Eight hundred five eighty five, 1:11:43.200 --> 1:11:45.240 one oh five one. I'm sure like the first time 1:11:45.240 --> 1:11:48.320 I ever tasted a Heineken was my dad. My dad 1:11:48.400 --> 1:11:49.760 gave it to me when I was young. My dad 1:11:49.800 --> 1:11:52.840 gave me bud bud wise though most corn of South Carolina, baby, 1:11:52.880 --> 1:11:55.920 the king of bids Heineken, and I never drink again. 1:11:56.000 --> 1:11:58.519 I spit it right out. I drink, but I was mad, 1:11:58.640 --> 1:12:02.080 yell ever, I don't even remember the age, maybe thirteen fourteen, Okay, 1:12:02.320 --> 1:12:04.320 but we're asking, you know, we're spitting things out of 1:12:04.320 --> 1:12:09.160 your mouth. Yea, yeah, but this the whole idea suck 1:12:09.200 --> 1:12:14.360 on my tongue, Charlemagne. All right now, the question is 1:12:14.400 --> 1:12:17.920 eight hundred five eight one oh five one. Where'd you 1:12:18.000 --> 1:12:20.439 smoke weed with your children? We're gonna talk about it 1:12:20.520 --> 1:12:22.200 more when we come back. Don't move it's to breakfast 1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:28.599 club the morning, the breakfast club sometimes because he doesn't 1:12:28.600 --> 1:12:30.880 want his daughter to smoke weed. Let's listen, because she's 1:12:30.880 --> 1:12:34.120 about fifteen sixteen, listen that she can't she's smoking. I 1:12:34.160 --> 1:12:36.280 don't want her to smoke, of course, So it's like damn, 1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:37.479 like we know, so I don't want to be the 1:12:37.520 --> 1:12:43.560 bad guy. Thirteen exactly what you want your kids to 1:12:43.600 --> 1:12:49.080 be better than right? It's called necessary hypocrisy. But you'll stop. 1:12:49.240 --> 1:12:53.880 I like that. No, say that again. Necessary So we're 1:12:53.960 --> 1:12:56.639 asking eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. 1:12:56.880 --> 1:12:59.439 What are your thoughts now? Either you have a daughter, 1:13:00.040 --> 1:13:02.800 her daughter, and a son ages My kids are My 1:13:02.920 --> 1:13:05.519 daughter's twenty six and my son is thirty one. Okay, 1:13:05.640 --> 1:13:07.400 so they of age. So let's say they wanted to 1:13:07.439 --> 1:13:10.160 smoke with mommy. I don't want to smoke with my kids. 1:13:10.200 --> 1:13:12.120 I don't. I don't want to create habits with my 1:13:12.240 --> 1:13:17.080 kids where we just we different different differentiate parental lines 1:13:17.280 --> 1:13:21.559 like I'm good with being their mother. No, I don't 1:13:21.640 --> 1:13:23.360 drink with them. Me that my son doesn't drink. Yeah, 1:13:23.360 --> 1:13:25.519 I don't. I don't want to like a glass of wine. 1:13:25.560 --> 1:13:27.280 I'm just asking. I mean my daughter will have a 1:13:27.320 --> 1:13:28.960 glass of wine at dinner, but we're not about to 1:13:29.040 --> 1:13:32.240 get messed up, you know, like have that attitude. I 1:13:32.360 --> 1:13:35.320 just think you know. Uh. The other thing is it 1:13:35.400 --> 1:13:37.720 depends on how old they are, right, because even if 1:13:37.800 --> 1:13:40.439 I did something early, like I joked earlier, like I 1:13:40.479 --> 1:13:43.280 don't want my daughter, Well you your your brain ain't 1:13:43.280 --> 1:13:45.479 fully developed. Why are you smoking weed? If I did it? 1:13:45.840 --> 1:13:47.800 You see how my life turned out? Why you want 1:13:47.840 --> 1:13:50.639 to do this? Like? You know, I think we kids 1:13:50.680 --> 1:13:52.880 just be afraid to draw lines with our kids because 1:13:52.920 --> 1:13:54.479 we want to be cool with them. But you know what, 1:13:55.439 --> 1:13:58.679 my daughter is twenty one. Um, I was thinking about 1:13:58.680 --> 1:14:00.599 it when we had this conversation. Now this is where 1:14:01.040 --> 1:14:02.840 it would be sticky. Yeah, of course you don't want 1:14:02.840 --> 1:14:04.320 to smoke or do anything like that with you with 1:14:04.439 --> 1:14:08.280 your kids. But if my daughter wanted to try marijuana, 1:14:08.520 --> 1:14:11.560 if she wanted to, I would rather she tried with 1:14:11.880 --> 1:14:15.280 me and learn with me, then try with somebody one 1:14:15.320 --> 1:14:17.120 of her friends that she goes to college with. Right, 1:14:17.320 --> 1:14:19.919 because where she's where where would they be buying this marijuana, 1:14:20.360 --> 1:14:22.400 this cannabis from? Where would they be smoking it? Is 1:14:22.400 --> 1:14:24.360 at least with fetal I would rather have come to 1:14:24.520 --> 1:14:26.439 Dad and be like, hey, Dad, this is something I 1:14:26.520 --> 1:14:28.519 wanted to try. I would like to try it with you, 1:14:28.560 --> 1:14:30.320 because at least I can go to one of the 1:14:30.439 --> 1:14:32.920 dispensaries I know, or some or you know, get it 1:14:33.000 --> 1:14:35.479 from even my own you know, cannabis line. I don't know. 1:14:35.520 --> 1:14:37.320 I don't think either one of y'all wrong. I think 1:14:37.360 --> 1:14:40.559 you know, both of y'all approaches to parenting and how 1:14:40.640 --> 1:14:42.360 y'all choose to, you know, be with your kids is 1:14:42.800 --> 1:14:46.040 both correct because I can see myself going either way. 1:14:47.479 --> 1:14:50.920 My kids are fourteen, seven, four in one, so you know, 1:14:51.080 --> 1:14:53.200 hopefully I don't have to those problems. I hopefully don't 1:14:53.200 --> 1:14:55.479 have to have make those decisions anytime soon. But I 1:14:55.600 --> 1:14:58.040 kind of feel with iison like I want to draw 1:14:58.200 --> 1:15:02.439 lines between you know, parents and children, Like I'm not 1:15:02.520 --> 1:15:04.240 your little friend, you know what I mean, And I 1:15:04.280 --> 1:15:06.120 don't smoke anyway. I do edible right, you know. But 1:15:06.240 --> 1:15:07.920 let's say let's say you daughter want to do edible 1:15:07.960 --> 1:15:09.640 you know what I mean? I would you rather she 1:15:09.760 --> 1:15:14.479 get it from you than Flame? Monroe? Yes, please, the 1:15:14.560 --> 1:15:18.840 Flames is out here doing sixty milligible for recreation. Unless 1:15:18.840 --> 1:15:20.920 you can teach you about micro docing it and teaching 1:15:21.000 --> 1:15:23.000 hot the effects your parents to getting it from a 1:15:23.040 --> 1:15:24.560 friend that don't know when she takes something and she 1:15:24.560 --> 1:15:25.880 don't know what she's taking. A lot a lot of 1:15:25.960 --> 1:15:28.480 mine isn't for recreation. A lot of mine is for anxiety, 1:15:28.600 --> 1:15:30.000 you know what I mean. So it's not like I'm 1:15:30.320 --> 1:15:32.360 doing it just strictly for recreation, even though I do 1:15:32.439 --> 1:15:34.519 do it for recreation sometimes but not all the time. 1:15:34.760 --> 1:15:36.519 So I don't know, I think any would I would 1:15:36.520 --> 1:15:37.840 like to. I agree with you too. I would like 1:15:37.840 --> 1:15:40.040 for them to come have the conversation, right, you know 1:15:40.040 --> 1:15:42.080 what I mean? I agree, but I can't see myself 1:15:42.120 --> 1:15:45.200 sitting around high with my kids. Yeah, we're not re 1:15:45.360 --> 1:15:48.519 enacting the scene from Friday, you know. And I think 1:15:48.880 --> 1:15:50.439 you know what I mean. I mean, I agree with you, 1:15:50.520 --> 1:15:52.400 though I would want my kids to come to me 1:15:52.560 --> 1:15:56.200 and of course monitor the situation, but to create the 1:15:56.280 --> 1:15:58.320 habit where your kids feel like they can come do 1:15:58.479 --> 1:16:00.120 that kind of stuff with you, I just feel like 1:16:00.680 --> 1:16:04.479 you just if that that's the gateway, well happens when 1:16:04.479 --> 1:16:06.719 they're like, yo, I want to try coke? Now? WHOA 1:16:07.000 --> 1:16:11.200 I ain't never did that? Now you got about I 1:16:11.240 --> 1:16:13.880 actididly smoke coke and a blunt, you know what I mean. 1:16:13.920 --> 1:16:16.679 But I ain't never willingly. But that's part. You see 1:16:16.680 --> 1:16:19.240 how you accidentally smoke coke and a blunt. Just imagine 1:16:19.240 --> 1:16:21.360 if you're your daughter or you know, or one of 1:16:21.439 --> 1:16:23.120 your kids wanted to smoke and say, you know what, 1:16:23.160 --> 1:16:25.240 I'm gonna try it. My friend got something and they 1:16:25.320 --> 1:16:27.160 smoke it. Now they're smoking coke. But that's why I said, 1:16:27.160 --> 1:16:28.880 I agree with you when I would want my kids 1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:31.360 to come talk to me about everything. But I agree 1:16:31.400 --> 1:16:33.640 with ida when you know it's still lines between my 1:16:33.760 --> 1:16:36.320 parents and children, because I ain't never sat around and 1:16:36.560 --> 1:16:38.720 had a drink with either one of my parents, and 1:16:38.720 --> 1:16:41.240 I wouldn't want to, you know what I mean. I wouldn't. 1:16:41.720 --> 1:16:45.000 I barely like to drink around my mom. But I 1:16:45.080 --> 1:16:46.720 know how she feels about that. My mom told us 1:16:46.720 --> 1:16:48.719 a long time ago, y'all got to watch that alcoholics. 1:16:48.800 --> 1:16:50.519 Y'all got a long line of alcoholics in your family, 1:16:50.600 --> 1:16:52.680 So I know how she feels about that. So I 1:16:52.720 --> 1:16:54.840 don't know. I can go. I could go either way. 1:16:54.840 --> 1:16:56.479 I take a little bit of from what both of 1:16:56.560 --> 1:17:00.559 y'all said, Hello, who's this? Hey? Shit? In a good 1:17:00.560 --> 1:17:04.120 morning good morning. So I have a take on your 1:17:04.640 --> 1:17:07.960 question about the mirror wanas before with your kids. Personally, 1:17:08.000 --> 1:17:11.120 I wouldn't do it. How old our kids? Um, if 1:17:11.240 --> 1:17:14.760 my children are grown, personally, I wouldn't do it, But 1:17:14.920 --> 1:17:19.280 I do know parents that do allow it, because if 1:17:19.320 --> 1:17:21.640 it's gonna be done, it's in the comfort of your 1:17:21.680 --> 1:17:26.280 own home. Um, I want to see if things are 1:17:26.360 --> 1:17:29.880 being added to it. I want to I want to 1:17:29.960 --> 1:17:32.439 know your reaction to it, you know, because now these 1:17:32.520 --> 1:17:36.120 mirror want to have benefits where I can't help that. 1:17:36.240 --> 1:17:43.320 My medicine smells louder than yours. So at the same time, 1:17:43.400 --> 1:17:46.559 that's what I'm saying. You know, Um, personally, I wouldn't 1:17:46.600 --> 1:17:48.960 do it if my child is my thirteen or teen 1:17:49.080 --> 1:17:52.920 you know, definitely know, but a grown child yet definitely. 1:17:53.360 --> 1:17:59.240 You know, I don't see your reaction monitor it being 1:17:59.360 --> 1:18:02.680 done it. Get what I'm saying. Yeah, I would love 1:18:02.760 --> 1:18:05.400 for my you know, I started I smoked weed mad early. 1:18:05.520 --> 1:18:08.680 I was like sixteen seventeen. So if my if my 1:18:08.840 --> 1:18:10.640 daughter who's fourteen, I did feel like that in a 1:18:10.680 --> 1:18:12.479 couple of years, I wish, I wish she would come 1:18:12.520 --> 1:18:14.600 to me, so I would tell her no, you know, 1:18:14.640 --> 1:18:16.439 what I mean, like, that's something you should wait to 1:18:16.520 --> 1:18:18.760 do until you get older. Your full frontal cortext didn't 1:18:18.760 --> 1:18:21.639 even developed a twenty five right. But the only problem 1:18:21.680 --> 1:18:24.000 with that too is is you know, once a kid 1:18:24.120 --> 1:18:26.920 wants to try something, they're gonna try it, you know. 1:18:27.240 --> 1:18:28.680 And if they're reaching out to you to try, you 1:18:28.720 --> 1:18:30.240 can sit there and say no, I don't want you to. 1:18:30.400 --> 1:18:31.800 But I would just hate for them to be like, well, 1:18:31.800 --> 1:18:33.920 I'm gonna try with my friends anyway. And I got 1:18:33.960 --> 1:18:36.400 the perfect excuse for that. What My daughter called me goofy. 1:18:36.439 --> 1:18:38.479 All the time. She tells me I'm weird. I said, 1:18:38.479 --> 1:18:40.479 that's because I smoked weed when I was young. So 1:18:41.160 --> 1:18:43.720 after we watched Super Mario Brothers last night and I 1:18:43.800 --> 1:18:47.760 kept going to you and she's just looking at me 1:18:47.760 --> 1:18:49.240 like I was crazy. That's because I smoked weed when 1:18:49.240 --> 1:18:50.600 I was young. So if you don't want to be 1:18:50.640 --> 1:18:52.840 weird and goofy like your daddy, wait until you get 1:18:52.880 --> 1:18:55.639 older to smoke your daughters a jeus. She could tell 1:18:55.680 --> 1:19:00.479 that you're weird and goofy from great buddy. Hello, who's 1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:03.080 this all right? This is Dove, Hey, Dove, what are 1:19:03.080 --> 1:19:06.680 you calling from? I am calling from Ohio, Ohio. Now 1:19:06.760 --> 1:19:09.679 you smoke with your daughter. No, I let her try 1:19:09.720 --> 1:19:11.840 it because I've been smoked since I was twelve and 1:19:11.920 --> 1:19:14.920 have my medical card. When she was sixteen, she's like, 1:19:15.120 --> 1:19:17.040 I want to try that, so I let her try 1:19:17.120 --> 1:19:20.160 it and she hates it. No, you let her try 1:19:20.160 --> 1:19:23.560 it at sixteen to smoke. You let her try it 1:19:23.600 --> 1:19:27.479 at sixteen. Yes, I don't. I believe that's contributing to 1:19:27.520 --> 1:19:30.400 the delinquacy of minor Right, are tut? I believe you 1:19:30.479 --> 1:19:40.360 are absolutely correct. Oh okay, Wow, you said she never 1:19:40.400 --> 1:19:43.479 smoked again. She no, she hates it the first time. 1:19:43.520 --> 1:19:45.240 She's like, I don't feel anything. So I'm like, well, 1:19:45.240 --> 1:19:48.160 you need to hold that in Jesus Christ. Then then 1:19:48.880 --> 1:19:50.599 we were going to dinner. She's like, I don't want 1:19:50.640 --> 1:19:54.840 to go. I can't function. This is stupid. So yeah, no, 1:19:55.000 --> 1:19:58.120 she hates marijuana. You know it's crazy. I'm nobody. None 1:19:58.120 --> 1:19:59.559 of us can judge because I'm not gonna sit here 1:19:59.600 --> 1:20:01.200 act like my dad didn't pas me a bud wid 1:20:01.320 --> 1:20:07.920 one out the jib full beard though, you damn it man. 1:20:08.200 --> 1:20:11.120 Jesus sixty. All right, well eight hundred five eight five 1:20:11.200 --> 1:20:13.679 one oh five one. We're asking would you smoke weed 1:20:13.760 --> 1:20:15.479 with your kids. Let's talk about it when we come back. 1:20:15.479 --> 1:20:26.759 It's the Breakfast Club for more, call me your opinions 1:20:26.760 --> 1:20:30.160 to the Breakfast Club topic. Come on, I did five 1:20:30.360 --> 1:20:34.439 five one five one, wanting everybody a stage. Hey, Envy 1:20:34.640 --> 1:20:36.720 Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. I'd a 1:20:36.760 --> 1:20:39.519 rod re gets this. Yeah, our cold and we're asking 1:20:39.560 --> 1:20:41.960 eight hundred five a five one oh five one? Would 1:20:42.000 --> 1:20:43.920 you smoke weed with your child? You know, I'd have 1:20:43.960 --> 1:20:45.960 said something interesting. I'd have talked about what you was 1:20:45.960 --> 1:20:48.080 just saying. No that there's a lot of data that 1:20:48.240 --> 1:20:53.400 connects UM skipzo disorders with um underage kids who have 1:20:53.520 --> 1:20:57.760 been smoking and doing drugs before they turned before their 1:20:57.800 --> 1:21:00.640 brain is fully developed, and so there is a lot 1:21:00.680 --> 1:21:03.519 of connection to schizophrenia and all of those disorders. So 1:21:03.720 --> 1:21:06.320 you gotta be careful when when they when you're young, 1:21:06.400 --> 1:21:11.679 because it happens right around with eighteen nineteen schizophrenia, because 1:21:11.720 --> 1:21:14.240 your full frontal cortex doesn't develop intil you're twenty five. 1:21:14.840 --> 1:21:17.559 So drugs and alcohol and all of that definitely uh 1:21:17.720 --> 1:21:20.920 interfield the development of your full frontal cortex. Absolutely. All right, 1:21:21.040 --> 1:21:25.880 let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this, Hey, Nikki, 1:21:25.920 --> 1:21:28.559 We're talking about smoking with your children. What's your thoughts, Mama? 1:21:28.880 --> 1:21:32.400 So me personally, I would most with my children just 1:21:32.520 --> 1:21:34.920 to create a safe environment. I feel like if they 1:21:34.960 --> 1:21:36.840 were just out with their kids or on the street, 1:21:37.240 --> 1:21:39.920 you know, anything can happen. They could actually only smoke 1:21:39.960 --> 1:21:42.639 a late one or something like that. So I think 1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:45.240 it would just be a safe environment for the late experience, 1:21:45.280 --> 1:21:47.600 for God, for them or not. I think we got 1:21:47.720 --> 1:21:49.720 to define this word children. I think as parents we 1:21:49.840 --> 1:21:53.519 always call our children children, even when they've grown, because 1:21:53.600 --> 1:21:55.360 what do you mean when y'all say children, I meant 1:21:55.439 --> 1:21:57.720 twenty one. I meant twenty two, like of age. But 1:21:58.320 --> 1:22:00.760 a lot of people are talking like how old is 1:22:00.840 --> 1:22:05.560 your ya? Your child? NIGGI. My oldest is fourteen. So 1:22:06.080 --> 1:22:08.400 it's funny because I just recently talked to him about 1:22:08.600 --> 1:22:10.600 you know, drugs or whatever, and he's got into it. 1:22:10.720 --> 1:22:13.479 He's just the anime. But I told him, like, if 1:22:13.520 --> 1:22:16.160 he's ever curious to like, come to me, Like, don't 1:22:16.200 --> 1:22:19.160 ask your friends to come to me. You gotta go 1:22:19.240 --> 1:22:20.920 back to what we've been saying all morning. Man, your 1:22:21.000 --> 1:22:23.920 frontal cortex is not completely developed until you like twenty 1:22:24.000 --> 1:22:26.960 five drugs interfere with that. You can't be just having 1:22:27.040 --> 1:22:29.320 these kids. That's why I'm a little off now. Problem 1:22:29.400 --> 1:22:34.439 where you right, we all of it because we was 1:22:34.520 --> 1:22:38.120 doing drugs too early. You're more off than anybody else. Hello, 1:22:38.240 --> 1:22:42.479 who's this team? Hey tea, good morning? What's going on? 1:22:42.840 --> 1:22:48.960 What's your thing is? That's act um? You know the 1:22:49.080 --> 1:22:51.960 parents are trying to be their friends. Some kids gonna 1:22:51.960 --> 1:22:54.680 have a bazillions friends. They're only gonna have one or 1:22:54.720 --> 1:22:58.120 two parents. You know, all depends on that. But you 1:22:58.200 --> 1:23:00.880 know you gotta say your parents stop trying to be 1:23:01.000 --> 1:23:03.400 friends with those kids. Why would I? Why would I 1:23:03.439 --> 1:23:06.560 sit back and allow my child to you know, becomeinglegal. 1:23:06.880 --> 1:23:09.320 I can't even get the word up, you know, use 1:23:09.680 --> 1:23:13.360 use marijuana when you know you have to be on 1:23:13.400 --> 1:23:15.960 a certain level. I don't like how you do all 1:23:16.000 --> 1:23:18.040 of a sudden, trying to sound professional. Just say weed hat. 1:23:18.120 --> 1:23:20.400 Youre about to say weed hat, and then you said, 1:23:21.439 --> 1:23:23.200 just say weed hat. You don't want you kid to 1:23:23.200 --> 1:23:25.320 be able? You know, why would I? Why would I 1:23:25.439 --> 1:23:27.800 let my child be a weed head? You know? You know, 1:23:28.680 --> 1:23:31.400 I mean it's different with the adult child. You know, 1:23:31.880 --> 1:23:34.720 if they're on if they're you know, how I responsibilities. 1:23:35.160 --> 1:23:37.479 They're doing that thing, and if they're to you know, 1:23:37.600 --> 1:23:39.360 if that's what you and how you want a parent, 1:23:39.640 --> 1:23:42.000 that's just not how I parent. But that's why I 1:23:42.120 --> 1:23:45.040 think that the way it is because parents are not parenting. 1:23:45.160 --> 1:23:48.200 Parents are more trying to be cool. The best part 1:23:48.240 --> 1:23:50.519 of the parenting is remembering when you were a child, 1:23:50.600 --> 1:23:53.639 so you can help that child through, you know, certain thing, 1:23:54.320 --> 1:23:56.960 certain levels of life when they were when they were children, 1:23:57.000 --> 1:23:59.160 when you were a child. Excuse me, I agree, I 1:23:59.240 --> 1:24:01.439 just don't understand. I don't know how we keep that 1:24:01.680 --> 1:24:05.479 door open for kids to still respect us as parents, 1:24:05.520 --> 1:24:08.160 would still come to us about everything. But I mean, 1:24:08.360 --> 1:24:10.040 you kind of need that because even if you look 1:24:10.120 --> 1:24:12.920 at what influences most of us, right, and I know 1:24:13.040 --> 1:24:15.200 what influenced you, and I don't know if it happened, 1:24:15.240 --> 1:24:18.120 but you know, music influenceders so much, right. I favored artists, 1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:20.400 our culture. Right back then, when we were growing up, 1:24:20.439 --> 1:24:23.160 we didn't have as many artists talking about weed smoked 1:24:23.200 --> 1:24:25.519 like we do now. That's a damn lie. It's not true. 1:24:26.040 --> 1:24:29.760 We had. They were the biggest, right, doctor dripped out. 1:24:29.800 --> 1:24:32.000 I've got the chronic that's sold five minute records. I 1:24:32.080 --> 1:24:34.479 smoked the weed because of Dre and Snoop? Are you 1:24:34.600 --> 1:24:37.200 talking about that? But now I think about all the artists. 1:24:37.320 --> 1:24:40.479 Now there's so many small red man Meth and Man, 1:24:40.680 --> 1:24:44.439 Dre Snoop. I smoked weed because of them, Touche, Are 1:24:44.439 --> 1:24:47.160 you talking about touch but I'm thinking about but you 1:24:47.280 --> 1:24:50.920 got whiz Khalifa and stop it. We always do this. 1:24:51.080 --> 1:24:54.599 Our error was terrible. Our error was just they learned 1:24:54.640 --> 1:24:56.720 from us. You're talking about seem like we see it 1:24:56.800 --> 1:24:59.479 more now. I don't know why, because everywhere we have 1:24:59.600 --> 1:25:02.000 a purpose. That song because we gotta, they gotta, they 1:25:02.040 --> 1:25:05.000 got poses. I had no percoses. We have a robot 1:25:05.040 --> 1:25:07.559 testing song because they had no we did. We did 1:25:08.760 --> 1:25:12.800 sin all three six Manfall dip set. Yes, yes, yes, 1:25:12.960 --> 1:25:17.479 we had ro You definitely Beanie Seagull uh uh uh 1:25:17.760 --> 1:25:20.080 what's the song called? I can't remember Kyle Sarah before 1:25:20.080 --> 1:25:22.960 a robot testing comes for me. Yeah, we definitely had 1:25:23.040 --> 1:25:26.559 to the sharples out. Yeah, definitely surples out maybe right too. Shit, 1:25:26.920 --> 1:25:29.080 But we didn't have a percose that song. No, we 1:25:29.640 --> 1:25:31.639 So you had all this rapping about weed and coke, 1:25:32.520 --> 1:25:35.559 A lot of them weed and coke made my eyes bleed. Um, 1:25:35.680 --> 1:25:41.200 a lot of mutang kirt daddy, like a lot of people. Story. 1:25:42.240 --> 1:25:45.160 Oh you don't know, I said, I agree with both 1:25:45.160 --> 1:25:46.880 of y'all. Like you know, I want my kid to 1:25:46.920 --> 1:25:49.120 respect me as a parent. Correct, you know what I'm saying, 1:25:49.120 --> 1:25:51.080 and they should be lyned like I just said. But 1:25:51.160 --> 1:25:52.760 then I agree with you and you know you want 1:25:52.800 --> 1:25:54.840 your kids to always come speak to you about everything. 1:25:54.920 --> 1:25:57.880 But correct, No, I'm not. I can't see myself getting 1:25:57.960 --> 1:26:00.920 high with my children to do to do, even when 1:26:00.920 --> 1:26:04.120 they're of age. Maybe I don't know. I don't know. 1:26:04.960 --> 1:26:06.280 All right, when we come back, we got your room 1:26:06.280 --> 1:26:09.719 and report. We're talking Kim k she's in a horror flick. Also, 1:26:10.280 --> 1:26:13.040 Antonio Brown is being sued. We'll tell you all about 1:26:13.040 --> 1:26:14.400 it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club of 1:26:14.400 --> 1:26:19.960 the morning, the Breakfast Club. Let me see you check it. 1:26:20.920 --> 1:26:22.880 What is wrong with you? Man? I just want to 1:26:22.880 --> 1:26:25.639 get the Auntie hype this morning. All right, morning, everybody, 1:26:25.720 --> 1:26:27.519 we are to Breakfast Club. We got our co host 1:26:27.560 --> 1:26:31.120 Ida Rodriguez here. She'll be back tomorrow as well. Yes, indeed, 1:26:31.160 --> 1:26:37.240 but let's get to the rooms. Let's talk or gossip 1:26:37.320 --> 1:26:41.240 and chatting the rumor report. I mean, I guess we're 1:26:41.240 --> 1:26:42.719 on the breakfast club. This is where the tea spells, 1:26:42.800 --> 1:26:45.960 right on the breakfast club. Now, Rick Ross was in 1:26:46.120 --> 1:26:50.320 Jamaica over the weekend and somebody came up to him 1:26:50.360 --> 1:27:03.240 and thought he was dragged. Jake correct, my name is 1:27:03.280 --> 1:27:10.759 the big what's wrong with Jamaica's WiFi? Man wi Jamaica? 1:27:12.160 --> 1:27:14.679 I guess not. I ain't never heard that Adam Yankees 1:27:14.720 --> 1:27:17.479 look the same word on Rick Cross and Drake. That's 1:27:17.520 --> 1:27:22.040 a total, total, total disconnect from culture. Yeah, that never happened. 1:27:22.040 --> 1:27:24.040 It's kind of kind of strange, kind of weird. But nay. 1:27:24.600 --> 1:27:26.720 Right now, Kim kardashi and you're excited about this. She's 1:27:26.760 --> 1:27:32.439 gonna start an American horror story season twelve. That's gonna 1:27:32.439 --> 1:27:36.479 be good bye, because American horror stories good, American harror stories. 1:27:36.720 --> 1:27:40.000 It comes on effects. If I'm not no Hulu one 1:27:40.040 --> 1:27:42.240 of them, No, it is effects. I think it is effects. 1:27:42.800 --> 1:27:44.080 But I think it comes on Hula too, because they 1:27:44.120 --> 1:27:46.519 all this same company. But American harror story is good, 1:27:46.640 --> 1:27:50.639 like they really don't miss. So if Dave casted Kim Kardashian, 1:27:50.680 --> 1:27:53.519 they've written something, you know, great for her. Okay, yeah, 1:27:53.560 --> 1:27:55.959 and now we've seen her in small parts of CSI 1:27:56.320 --> 1:28:00.880 and uh drop Dead Diver and two Broker, so we'll 1:28:00.880 --> 1:28:04.360 see how that works out. Now, Antonio Brown, it looks 1:28:04.400 --> 1:28:07.000 like he's going to be sued by a jeweler. Did 1:28:07.040 --> 1:28:09.920 Jeweler saying that Antonio Brown owes him one point one 1:28:10.240 --> 1:28:14.880 million dollars claimed he gave Brown several pieces back in 1:28:14.960 --> 1:28:18.040 twenty twenty two under the promise that AB would pay 1:28:18.120 --> 1:28:21.759 him one point one million dollars and allegedly AB hasn't 1:28:21.800 --> 1:28:25.160 paid anything as of yet, so it looks like he 1:28:25.479 --> 1:28:29.760 is being sued. And you have the audio of card 1:28:29.760 --> 1:28:32.280 to be up there talking about the question about the Yes, 1:28:32.760 --> 1:28:35.160 I get why you would sue, but if the person 1:28:35.240 --> 1:28:39.240 hasn't paid you their money when you suit him, what 1:28:39.320 --> 1:28:41.600 makes you think you're gonna get paid? You know what 1:28:41.600 --> 1:28:43.519 I'm saying when you win the lawsuit, because you can 1:28:43.600 --> 1:28:46.160 get stuff right, you can, if you have a judge 1:28:46.200 --> 1:28:50.200 that sides with you, you can take cars, you can right. Well. 1:28:50.240 --> 1:28:52.320 Most of the times when I think people don't pay 1:28:52.360 --> 1:28:54.800 the jeweler is a lot of times once they have 1:28:54.920 --> 1:28:58.080 the Julia jewelry already, they usually pay other things other 1:28:58.160 --> 1:29:00.240 than the jeweler, Like you'll pay your mortgage in Dad, 1:29:00.240 --> 1:29:02.720 you pay your car note instead, you'll pay all these 1:29:02.800 --> 1:29:05.439 different things because a lot of times I'm assuming that 1:29:05.520 --> 1:29:07.200 they forget don't even think about it. But wouldn't you 1:29:07.280 --> 1:29:09.120 not want to have that bill? Wouldn't you want to 1:29:09.120 --> 1:29:10.479 just go ahead and take care to jewels so you 1:29:10.560 --> 1:29:11.960 don't get to it because now you got to pay 1:29:11.960 --> 1:29:13.840 your lawyer, and then eventually you end up having to 1:29:13.840 --> 1:29:16.240 pay the jewelers and costing yourself more money, and you're 1:29:16.280 --> 1:29:17.960 not gonna be able to sell that jewelry for the 1:29:18.040 --> 1:29:20.320 amount that you buy it for because it doesn't appreciate, 1:29:20.439 --> 1:29:22.519 you know. I just I would just like to use 1:29:22.600 --> 1:29:25.479 this opportunity to let people out there know. So this 1:29:25.640 --> 1:29:28.120 is a cautionary tale, but just let people know a 1:29:28.200 --> 1:29:31.559 lot of these celebrities and athletes be flexing and filosshing 1:29:31.640 --> 1:29:33.800 on the gram and making trying to make you feel 1:29:33.880 --> 1:29:37.160 like you're not enough because you don't have listen to 1:29:37.320 --> 1:29:40.519 the American Express bill not being paid and this jeweler 1:29:40.600 --> 1:29:42.800 not being paid. A lot of these people going in 1:29:42.880 --> 1:29:45.600 the whole broke because they're trying to keep up with 1:29:45.680 --> 1:29:48.040 the Joneses you're doing just right when you start putting 1:29:48.080 --> 1:29:50.600 your money in your bank, So don't feel bad. A 1:29:50.680 --> 1:29:52.840 lot of these people are frauds. That's why when I 1:29:52.960 --> 1:29:56.720 hear forty plus year old equate money and wealth to 1:29:56.840 --> 1:30:01.360 what somebody is wearing. Yes, yeah, that's saying to me 1:30:01.720 --> 1:30:04.040 because everybody I know that got real, real money, in 1:30:04.160 --> 1:30:06.000 real real wealth, they're not wearing it. You know what 1:30:06.000 --> 1:30:09.679 I mean? Man. John O'Brian says, if your greatest asset 1:30:09.880 --> 1:30:12.120 is on your ass yeah you know, then you don't 1:30:12.160 --> 1:30:14.519 really have any ass as. I sit here in my 1:30:14.640 --> 1:30:18.880 Gucci dress, but I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it. 1:30:19.560 --> 1:30:21.880 So that's the thing about it is that that's why 1:30:22.120 --> 1:30:25.120 I always tell the truth. Like I wear my clothes, 1:30:26.280 --> 1:30:28.160 it was given to me. But I'm saying like I 1:30:28.320 --> 1:30:31.439 wear something more than one time, like absolutely, you know, 1:30:31.520 --> 1:30:33.479 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go broke trying to 1:30:33.560 --> 1:30:36.439 keep up with people. You know, Elon Muss is wearing 1:30:36.520 --> 1:30:39.720 the same stuff like Bill Gates Where's jeans and a 1:30:39.800 --> 1:30:42.520 T shirt? These people will be on the on Instagram 1:30:42.720 --> 1:30:45.400 making trying to people make people feel bad because they 1:30:45.439 --> 1:30:48.360 don't have Oh, y'all can't be I'm the I'm the 1:30:48.600 --> 1:30:51.120 baddest and all of that stuff. You don't even know. 1:30:51.360 --> 1:30:54.640 These people are living hand to model, Right, what's the 1:30:54.680 --> 1:30:56.200 point of where I design it if you don't even 1:30:56.240 --> 1:30:59.479 own a house. Yeah, that's the fact, you know it. 1:31:00.120 --> 1:31:02.160 Don't even make things. And I tell everybody out there, 1:31:02.400 --> 1:31:05.080 it's if you want to buy something, that's that you 1:31:05.160 --> 1:31:08.080 want to buy, whether it's something Gucci or Louis Vaton 1:31:08.200 --> 1:31:11.519 or Christian Dior or a nice car or anything anything 1:31:11.560 --> 1:31:14.839 out there some jury. I always tell people this, invest 1:31:14.920 --> 1:31:17.360 in something that pays for that, you know, you know, 1:31:17.600 --> 1:31:19.360 try to purchase a two family house. I was out 1:31:19.439 --> 1:31:22.080 in a deep part out in Jersey and they would 1:31:22.120 --> 1:31:24.799 had homes in the area for like forty thousand dollars 1:31:24.960 --> 1:31:27.479 and these like multi units, and people were renting him 1:31:27.479 --> 1:31:30.040 out for thirteen hundred dollars each door. And there was 1:31:30.479 --> 1:31:32.040 a young dude out there that I was talking to 1:31:32.560 --> 1:31:35.240 that you know, he was a party promoter and you know, 1:31:35.520 --> 1:31:37.920 it got cold during COVID and he started investing in 1:31:38.000 --> 1:31:40.720 this town where nobody was in and he's doing very 1:31:40.760 --> 1:31:43.439 well for himself. So I was telling people like, that's 1:31:43.479 --> 1:31:45.519 what you should do. It's it's okay to buy those things, 1:31:45.560 --> 1:31:48.000 but make sure your investment pays for that, so it 1:31:48.080 --> 1:31:49.840 doesn't come out of your pocket, it doesn't come out 1:31:49.880 --> 1:31:52.479 of something else. So anytime I want to buy anything 1:31:52.560 --> 1:31:54.600 out there that I want to buy a car or 1:31:55.000 --> 1:31:57.280 a crib or investment property, I try to make something 1:31:57.360 --> 1:31:59.400 pay for that so it never comes out of my pocket. 1:31:59.439 --> 1:32:01.680 Or in this era, and when I say this era, 1:32:01.760 --> 1:32:03.639 I'm not even talking about you, from just talking about 1:32:03.680 --> 1:32:06.000 this era of social media. You know, they would rather 1:32:06.120 --> 1:32:08.880 look like they have money than actually have money. And 1:32:08.920 --> 1:32:11.400 I'll say this, I am I am one of four 1:32:12.200 --> 1:32:16.080 and I was on television, I was doing comedy specials, 1:32:16.200 --> 1:32:19.719 I was doing work. My three siblings all bought property 1:32:19.800 --> 1:32:23.120 before me, all three of it. They were more financially 1:32:23.160 --> 1:32:24.439 literate that you just didn't know what to do with 1:32:24.439 --> 1:32:27.600 your money. No, I just didn't have money. I had visibility. 1:32:29.000 --> 1:32:31.880 They had a steady income, like my income was going 1:32:32.040 --> 1:32:35.320 up and down. Thank God that I have a financial 1:32:35.400 --> 1:32:37.560 advisor and I come from that world that I was 1:32:37.640 --> 1:32:39.720 able to learn what to do with my money. But 1:32:40.200 --> 1:32:43.080 they had they had a steady income. And I respect 1:32:43.160 --> 1:32:45.759 people like that, and I always respect the working class 1:32:46.120 --> 1:32:49.799 because we Instagram is Instagram is in gang your favorite 1:32:49.880 --> 1:32:54.320 entertain to be lying, it's the truth and even more, 1:32:54.400 --> 1:32:56.400 like you said, it's a matter of having the knowledge. 1:32:56.479 --> 1:32:58.800 I was able to buy my first crib at twenty 1:32:58.840 --> 1:33:00.719 two years old, so I've been I've been a homeowner 1:33:00.720 --> 1:33:03.879 for a long time. But the reason I was, honestly 1:33:04.000 --> 1:33:05.680 was because my dad was a police officer and he 1:33:05.760 --> 1:33:07.920 was very mean in the crib and very military style, 1:33:07.920 --> 1:33:09.479 and I was like, I gotta get out. But at 1:33:09.520 --> 1:33:11.720 twenty two, I bought my first crib, and I had 1:33:11.760 --> 1:33:13.920 to ask friends, like I didn't even know what to do, 1:33:14.439 --> 1:33:17.000 and I called Buster Rams, and Buster Rams actually got 1:33:17.040 --> 1:33:19.200 me the mortgage officer to get me my first out. 1:33:19.840 --> 1:33:23.160 My interest rate was fifteen percent, but it was able 1:33:23.160 --> 1:33:24.759 to get in my first crib. So I'll tell everybody 1:33:24.760 --> 1:33:26.800 all the time, just look into things if you're looking 1:33:26.840 --> 1:33:28.880 in for a crib. Fah loans.

Let's go. 1:34:05.080 --> 1:34:07.320 We got a special guest in the building who's came 1:34:07.360 --> 1:34:11.160 out coming off of a winning knockout. Yes, she cour Stevenson. 1:34:11.200 --> 1:34:14.760 Ladies and gentlemen, it's good, it's good. It's good. I 1:34:14.840 --> 1:34:17.880 feel great. Yeah, you had a great training count, and 1:34:18.040 --> 1:34:20.280 we did everything were supposed to do, and everything showed 1:34:20.360 --> 1:34:22.439 up on fight night. Yeah. I saw him say that 1:34:22.479 --> 1:34:24.479 he didn't he didn't believe in your powers. So you 1:34:24.600 --> 1:34:26.360 came in there with the intentional let me show this 1:34:26.439 --> 1:34:28.759 guy how strong I am. Yeah, I love and somebody 1:34:28.800 --> 1:34:31.360 said I can't do something, and he said I can't punch. 1:34:31.439 --> 1:34:36.160 So my motivation was to show him. Instantly offered that 1:34:36.240 --> 1:34:38.519 I could punch, and I sat in front of him, 1:34:38.560 --> 1:34:40.320 man gave him the fight that he wanted to beat 1:34:40.400 --> 1:34:41.720 him at that too. You know what I was thinking 1:34:41.720 --> 1:34:43.280 about it as a fighter, right because I'm watching the 1:34:43.320 --> 1:34:45.880 fight and it was the clear moment. That's why the 1:34:45.920 --> 1:34:49.280 referee stopped like this, you can't do it all over that. 1:34:49.520 --> 1:34:51.760 And when you when you're a boxer, you start pulling 1:34:51.840 --> 1:34:53.720 your punches a little bit, knowing that you know this 1:34:53.880 --> 1:34:56.360 guy is this vulnerable or do you just go harder? Nah, 1:34:56.360 --> 1:34:58.680 I ain't gonna lie. I had just called my second win, 1:34:59.400 --> 1:35:02.000 so like the rev stopped it right in town because 1:35:02.000 --> 1:35:04.040 I was really about to life start beating him up 1:35:04.080 --> 1:35:09.320 even worse than what I was. Yeah, I told him 1:35:09.360 --> 1:35:11.240 to let it go longer so I could really knock 1:35:11.320 --> 1:35:13.320 him out. I want to get my fans like a 1:35:13.400 --> 1:35:16.280 real knockout. I was hurting him every time I punched him, 1:35:16.320 --> 1:35:18.280 so once I had to hit him clean again, he 1:35:18.360 --> 1:35:20.680 was going out. Now do you think Devin Haney is 1:35:20.680 --> 1:35:22.920 actually ducking you? I ain't. I ain't gonna get up 1:35:22.960 --> 1:35:24.479 there in a line act like he's dunking me. I 1:35:24.560 --> 1:35:26.880 don't think that he's dunking me in a fight, but 1:35:28.680 --> 1:35:30.600 I think like with Devin, me and whom I know 1:35:30.800 --> 1:35:34.040 Devin since a little kid, so like we've always been 1:35:34.120 --> 1:35:36.160 one way class apart. So now that I'm going up 1:35:36.200 --> 1:35:38.360 to thirty five nine times out of ten, it's only 1:35:39.080 --> 1:35:41.000 right for him to go to one forty. So I 1:35:41.200 --> 1:35:43.920 understand it. But we'll see how the world look at it. 1:35:44.040 --> 1:35:46.040 You see, y'all used to spar a lot together. Sure 1:35:46.200 --> 1:35:48.880 you said, used to clean him up. I heard you say, yeah, 1:35:48.880 --> 1:35:50.960 for sure. Yeah. I feel like I always got the 1:35:51.400 --> 1:35:54.200 better upper hand of the sparring. But I mean he's 1:35:54.240 --> 1:35:56.320 back in the day. Yeah, So I know he looking 1:35:56.360 --> 1:35:58.360 at it like he got better, and I feel as 1:35:58.360 --> 1:36:00.840 though I got better. So when the fight happening, it's 1:36:00.840 --> 1:36:02.920 gonna be amazing to see. Do you feel like that 1:36:03.160 --> 1:36:05.880 they try to pick two great black fighters against each other, 1:36:05.920 --> 1:36:07.960 because now it's they have to it's box. But but 1:36:08.040 --> 1:36:10.800 I'm gonna tell you why. But now it's everything's in record, right. 1:36:11.160 --> 1:36:13.720 Boxing is at a place now where nobody wants to 1:36:13.760 --> 1:36:15.400 lose in record. Nobody wants to take it l right. 1:36:15.400 --> 1:36:17.360 Back in the day, if you lost the fight, If 1:36:17.400 --> 1:36:19.000 you lost the fight, who cares you get back up 1:36:19.000 --> 1:36:22.360 and do it. But now everybody wants that that undefeated record, 1:36:22.400 --> 1:36:25.000 and both of you brothers are undefeated. Yeah now, but 1:36:25.080 --> 1:36:27.840 you gotta look at it like this, though the top 1:36:28.000 --> 1:36:31.920 athletes in our in our weight class is black. I 1:36:32.120 --> 1:36:35.479 really think about it. Me team, we're all black. So 1:36:35.720 --> 1:36:37.760 like they want to see the top people fight the 1:36:37.800 --> 1:36:40.160 top people. I don't look at it like they want 1:36:40.160 --> 1:36:41.800 to pin us against each other. Even if they do, 1:36:42.400 --> 1:36:45.240 we don't got no choice but to really squabble because 1:36:45.240 --> 1:36:47.639 at the end of the day, we're the top athletes. 1:36:47.680 --> 1:36:50.160 The best, got to fight the best. Like I'm engaging 1:36:50.479 --> 1:36:51.920 in that, like I want to fight the best. I 1:36:51.960 --> 1:36:55.280 want to see who can get in the ring with 1:36:55.360 --> 1:36:56.880 me and show me that I'm not who who I 1:36:56.960 --> 1:36:58.760 say I am. Y'all have to. It's just like back 1:36:58.800 --> 1:37:01.280 in the day when it was Sugar Ray, but losing 1:37:01.640 --> 1:37:04.040 didn't matter. You lost then, y'all four to getting six 1:37:04.040 --> 1:37:05.880 months from I don't think losing batters as much. Does 1:37:05.920 --> 1:37:08.639 I don't think it does. It does. I don't think 1:37:08.880 --> 1:37:10.519 it does. I think Floyd got your gas with that. 1:37:10.800 --> 1:37:12.360 No no, I got the world gas with that. Oh 1:37:12.439 --> 1:37:15.240 no no. But like in promotions, like in the companies 1:37:15.720 --> 1:37:18.080 wants the fight to lose, it's like a full step back. 1:37:18.120 --> 1:37:20.200 It's like they gotta fully start over instead of like 1:37:20.680 --> 1:37:23.880 our Sugaray Leonard and them lost, they still as big 1:37:23.960 --> 1:37:26.479 as they are. Like so I just think like it's 1:37:26.520 --> 1:37:28.920 like a whole restart now at the lose. That's what 1:37:29.280 --> 1:37:32.479 it depends when you are loss. Yeah, but he he 1:37:32.640 --> 1:37:42.240 makes it. It's like, okay, all are defeated. Somebody got 1:37:42.320 --> 1:37:45.120 to lose. You lose. Everything is going like you lose 1:37:45.200 --> 1:37:46.920 and you're gonna lose endorsement, you're not gonna get that 1:37:46.960 --> 1:37:49.160 paid as much all that it could be. Just you know, 1:37:49.280 --> 1:37:50.960 it depends how you lose. Because I don't look at 1:37:51.000 --> 1:37:52.960 Deonta Wild is no different. He's still a warrior to me. 1:37:53.080 --> 1:37:54.600 Now he's a dog, you know what I mean. I 1:37:54.720 --> 1:37:58.000 respect why. I think why the put everything on the line. 1:37:58.120 --> 1:38:01.160 He just came up short against the better. But I 1:38:01.320 --> 1:38:03.800 think while there's a dog, so it's pressure to stay 1:38:03.880 --> 1:38:06.600 perfect and not for me, I don't look at it 1:38:06.680 --> 1:38:09.200 that way because like honestly, I'm so confident in myself. 1:38:09.240 --> 1:38:11.640 I don't think about losing. I don't think losing, not 1:38:11.760 --> 1:38:13.400 enough back of my brain. I know I'm gonna win 1:38:13.439 --> 1:38:15.040 when I getting there, So I ain't think about that. 1:38:15.200 --> 1:38:18.479 But I get it, like I understand like the Floyd 1:38:18.560 --> 1:38:22.280 ever of boxing, the Floyd error is like once you lose, 1:38:22.600 --> 1:38:25.600 fighters got to like restarted, there's a whole decline in 1:38:25.680 --> 1:38:28.360 their career instead of them just being the same fighter. 1:38:28.600 --> 1:38:30.840 Only fighters that really get away with that is fighters 1:38:30.920 --> 1:38:34.800 from other countries like Anthony Joshua or Canello. Just being 1:38:34.840 --> 1:38:39.240 that he's a Mexican star. Anthony Johnson was interesting. Only 1:38:39.320 --> 1:38:41.760 only reason I say he's interested because I just I've 1:38:41.800 --> 1:38:44.080 never seen him fight. He's never He's never lost to 1:38:44.200 --> 1:38:46.960 somebody I thought he should lose to. You know, if 1:38:46.960 --> 1:38:48.400 he got in the ring with Fury and he lost, 1:38:48.439 --> 1:38:50.000 I wouldn't look at it. I look at him way 1:38:50.080 --> 1:38:52.200 different because of who he lost to. Yeah, you know 1:38:52.200 --> 1:38:56.559 what I mean, Yeah about prior to that though, Yeah, 1:38:56.720 --> 1:38:58.840 But I mean I think with him, it's more so 1:38:59.000 --> 1:39:03.120 like I feel like, man, I know I gotta keep 1:39:03.120 --> 1:39:05.040 it on. I think it's heart problems, like I think 1:39:05.080 --> 1:39:07.280 he got like a little heart problems. Sometimes like him 1:39:07.360 --> 1:39:09.960 going there like the little a guy. He's supposed to 1:39:09.960 --> 1:39:13.000 impose its will and he didn't impose his will even 1:39:13.040 --> 1:39:14.439 when I saw him last week I think it was 1:39:14.520 --> 1:39:16.920 last week, maybe two weeks ago. Yeah, the same thing. Yeah, 1:39:17.000 --> 1:39:19.760 like you, he's scared to like go in like yo 1:39:20.160 --> 1:39:23.120 on this just god. Yeah. I mean he got potential though, 1:39:23.360 --> 1:39:27.519 but you know, I think, um, big baby, Big Baby 1:39:27.640 --> 1:39:30.519 is one of the new heavyweights that's gonna take over 1:39:30.640 --> 1:39:33.559 a boxing really. Yeah, when I was on my undercar, 1:39:36.240 --> 1:39:38.639 so when when you have to go to another weight class, 1:39:38.680 --> 1:39:40.960 what's the prep that you gotta do to get to 1:39:41.040 --> 1:39:44.240 that weight class? Honestly, this this time around, it was 1:39:44.280 --> 1:39:47.720 just so much easier to make way. I didn't have 1:39:47.840 --> 1:39:49.840 to work as hard on fight week. I say some 1:39:49.960 --> 1:39:52.800 of my energy. I felt way better at one thirty 1:39:52.840 --> 1:39:55.519 five than I felt at one thirty So a lot 1:39:55.520 --> 1:39:58.080 of people wanted to see how it was going. Phil. 1:39:58.160 --> 1:40:03.000 I think I displayed powers. I displayed everything on Saturday. 1:40:03.200 --> 1:40:07.960 You did? You did misweight once right when w y yep? 1:40:08.280 --> 1:40:09.960 What does that even mean? And like and how did 1:40:09.960 --> 1:40:12.920 that affect you as a fighter? I mean it was 1:40:12.960 --> 1:40:15.479 more so just embarrassing, like it was embarrassment, But you 1:40:15.520 --> 1:40:18.040 gotta take the embarrassment with all the good stuff that come. 1:40:18.560 --> 1:40:20.680 But for people that don't know, So what happened. I 1:40:20.840 --> 1:40:23.680 went to my fight in on North, my last fight 1:40:23.760 --> 1:40:26.880 before this fight, and I lost my titles. On the 1:40:26.960 --> 1:40:30.000 scale I had came in over I want to say 1:40:30.120 --> 1:40:34.320 one point eight pounds. There was one point eight pounds over. Yeah, bro, 1:40:34.400 --> 1:40:36.000 you can pee. You can't go. Let me go pe 1:40:36.120 --> 1:40:37.920 for a second now you I couldn't because you gotta 1:40:37.920 --> 1:40:40.800 realized I'm dehydrated. So now I'm so dehydrated. Ain't no 1:40:40.880 --> 1:40:44.599 more war than my body. I'm not sweating, Ain't nothing 1:40:44.720 --> 1:40:46.519 coming out of my body for me to even lose 1:40:46.560 --> 1:40:49.040 any weight. So I just you know, took it on 1:40:49.120 --> 1:40:51.840 the chain and make sure I won that night. Does 1:40:51.880 --> 1:40:54.519 that Uh? Is that really an advantage? Being like one 1:40:54.600 --> 1:40:57.920 pound overweight at one point a pound that? I think 1:40:57.960 --> 1:41:02.360 it's a disadvantage, honestly, because I feel like if I 1:41:02.439 --> 1:41:06.120 fight a fighter and they come and overweight and that 1:41:06.280 --> 1:41:08.000 just showed how much shape, and I feel like I 1:41:08.080 --> 1:41:10.880 feel like they probably out of shaping.

I mean I think about 1:43:34.640 --> 1:43:36.600 her quite often, but the other day I was just 1:43:36.960 --> 1:43:39.960 scouring the internet going through a lot of her amazing quotes. 1:43:40.000 --> 1:43:42.559 It really really bothers me that, you know, Jazz didn't 1:43:42.560 --> 1:43:45.000 get to write her own book before she passed. She 1:43:45.080 --> 1:43:48.360 wrote other people's books, but not her own. But Jazz posted. 1:43:48.400 --> 1:43:51.120 Identify people that are where you want to be. Didn't 1:43:51.160 --> 1:43:54.759 pay attention to what they consume. They're usually all active 1:43:54.880 --> 1:43:58.360 growers consuming things that will make them better. Distractions are 1:43:58.400 --> 1:44:00.920 cool and small doses, but they never lose sight. Of 1:44:00.960 --> 1:44:05.400 their goals, start employing that kind of discipline. Rest in peace, 1:44:05.479 --> 1:44:08.840 Jasmine breakfast club bitches you, I'll finish it, y'all. Dune
