I did a date night last night, being the wife

on Broadway. They all watch s Grange of Things on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I used to watch it.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I used to watch Change the Man.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That is the greatest stage play production I've ever seen
in my life. I'm just talking about the production aspect
of it. They did things on that stage I didn't
think you could do really yes, like like falling out
the sky in slow motion, like monsters coming from the.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Ceiling, like a production.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh my god, the stage play production was incredible, dropping

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Scranging Things on Brodway. They only been doing it for

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yes, yesterday was a Rachel Rachel Edwards a born day.
That's a good friend of mine. So we went to
go see Scranging Things with my wife and oldes daughter
loves Scranging Things. But if you are ever in New
York City, even if you're not a fan of Broadway,
even if you've never even seen the Scrange of Things play,
that is something that I mean, the Strange Things show.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That is something to go watch.
Speaker 2 (02:44):

in my opinion, And then when I saw when I
got like to be a teenager and I saw.

like this.
Speaker 4 (03:04):

just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Dj nvy is out, what lay and Lerosa is in
and it's time for front page news.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Morgan?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Tell y'all, Hey, how y'all feeling happy?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Thursday?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Girl?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Plu's black and Holly favored. What's happening all right, y'all?
Speaker 10 (04:14):
So first up on front page, President Trump says, historically,
black colleges and universities should not be worried about federal
spending cuts. Y'all know, I had to get into the
HBCU news right. So Trump called into a News Nation
town hall event hosted by Chris Cuomo and moderated via
Bill O'Reilly and Stephen A.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Smith last night.
Speaker 10 (04:33):
When asked if HBCUs should be concerned about their funding
considering all of the funding and rollbacks that the Trump
administration is doing, Trump said he took care of the
HBCUs and black colleges and that he got them more
money than they ever dreamt possible.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Let's take a listen to those comments.
Speaker 11 (04:52):
They were going out of business. They came to me
about fifty people that headed up, and they came to
me the first year, and I took care of them.
I got them more money than they ever dreamt possible.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And they're in great shape.
Speaker 11 (05:05):
Now when they have long term financing. Nobody did that
for Donald Trump.
Speaker 10 (05:11):
So under the Trump administration in his first term, he
did sign a bipartisan bill in twenty nineteen that permanently
provides more than two hundred and fifty million a year
to the nation's historically black colleges and universities. If you
were to, I guess sum that up over the course
of four years, but again it was just twenty nineteen.
If you were to sum that up over the course
of four years, that would equate to one billion dollars.
(05:33):
Under the Biden administration it was one point three billion
in funding to HBCUs, whereas under the Obama administration it
was four billion towards HBCUs.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Now last week, well.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
If combined combined, there's actually more than seventeen billion in
federal investments from the Biden Paris administration.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
That's right, that's right, that's right over the Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 10 (05:55):
And then of course last week Trump signed an executive
order that will ensure or HBCUs get the maximum funding
they're entitled to. Now, Trump said during the town hall
that they have a long term financing, and that of
course nobody else did it but him. Now, Lauren, you
went to a HBCU delta card. You shout out to
the hornets. So what do you think of all of
(06:16):
what he is saying.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I don't know how much of what is true, but
I just know whoever's in the president draw office should
make sure that the funding is going because if it
wasn't for federal funding, I would not have graduated from
college at all. So it's very important and that's all
I know. They need the money a lot.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Of it too.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Absolutely, it should be a ticket.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Like it should be.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
If you don't fund HBCUs, we don't support you like
it is a big ticket.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You're not gonna get no push back from me. You know,
you see Donald Trump supporting HBCU. The only thing I
would say is we want more. But you know me
who wouldn't yep.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Period period.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
So Trump addressed recent polling on his approval rating as
saying they were fake polls where Democrats were interviewed. Yeah,
he said democrat. More Democrats were interviewed than GOP members.
When asked about making a deal with Tryina, Trump said,
there is a very good chance, but there will be,
but it will be on the terms of the US
and of course he shrugged off concerns about the economy
(07:08):
and concerns that his policies only benefit the wealthy.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Trump said, he knows what he.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
Is doing is perfectly and that is perfect, and essentially
that his economic approach will be better for the middle class.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, you can't, well you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You can't lie to people because people are gonna feel
it in their pockets regardless. So you know, you can
get on television and you know, say that, but if
people don't feel it in their pockets, they gonna they're
gonna push back. And when people say, you know, when
people are losing jobs, when people can't afford to pay
their bills or they can't afford to put food on
their table, they will push back.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So you can you can't lie to them about that
because they feel it.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Right And speaking of which, the numbers don't lie. So
the new reports have the US economy heading into uncertain
waters this summer, as you have been saying, Charlotta Magne,
the gross domestic product or GDP, which some of the
value of goods and services produce, fell three point fell
three percent over las last year. Growth had originally been
predicted by economists, but outlooks were revised to negative thanks
(08:06):
to the reaction of President Trump's global tariffs. A separate
report from payroll processor ADP showed job creation slow to
sixty two thousand positions last month, about half of what
economists were expecting. So it does appear that we are
heading into a recession and things agatting tight.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And Trump said that this isn't his GDP, this is
Biden's GDP.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
He did, that's not true.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
That's okay, you about this quarterly.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You are the president of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The tariffs and other things you have implemented directly have
impacted America's GDP. You got to own that, you know
what I mean. You can't keep pointing to blame with
other people. You are the person that is governing right now.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
This is you.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Clock is CpG.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
You know how your grandmom be telling you, like keep
money in the mattress and keep guessing your card. What
you're supposed to do right now in preparation for the recession,
Like what's the.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
That's a good stay kit?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I was I was thinking about, you know, just you know,
stocking up on things that you would probably need. But
the reality of the situation is you probably can't afford
to stock up on things you actually need, Like if
you know that there's gonna be a recession this summer,
so you say, hey, you know what, let me stock
up on you know.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Let's just say toothpaste.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You might can't afford to buy three four months of
two pastes just in case.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So I don't know. I'm not an e commiss you
do know we on people can see.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You, right, yeah, makeup real quick? All right, yeah, I
mean I'm in the conversation. We're here.

Speaker 14 (17:34):
I wanted to I wanted to get off my chest.
I've seen an orange man on TV last night. He
came across my screen and the way he was sitting
there a line and talking about everything.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Is on by it.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Nah, he can't he got to hold this when he
is the President of the United States of America. When
Joe Biden left office, the GDP was actually pretty good,
and you know, because of a lot of the things
that Trump is implemented over the first hundred days, it
is not anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
So he got he own that he.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Don't hold nothing. He lied about everything. You know what
they want to overtalk everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You know what's interesting, Uh, you know, we can't act
like any of these tariffs and stuff. Was a surprise
because he said he was going to do this, and
him and Elon must they all said there was going
to be a period of economic pain that everybody was
going to have to go through. I would rather than
just keep saying that as opposed to you know, now
trying to put the blame on on Biden.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
That's weird exactly.
Speaker 14 (18:26):
And he needs to bring that manhole from out Salvador
and bring him home to his family. He knew he
was wrong what he did. If they did that to
his family, he be betting over backwards and stuttering over
his words, trying to get a family hole.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I thought they was trying to bring him.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
They not.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
He said he wasn't doing it.
Speaker 14 (18:44):
And if he told them, he said, he told them
he's not bringing that manhole. He could make a pole
call that.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
He's wanted to, but he's a lot of course, he
can all right, well you got it you good, I
got it. Make sure you got it all out. Thank
you guys, wee you too, Thank you for calling. All right,
that's get it off your chests. We do that every morning.
Speaker 17 (19:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Anytime you want to vent, you can call up here
and do that. Anytime you want to call up here
and tell us why you blessed, you can do that too,
every morning on The Breakfast Club. Now we got the
latest with Lauren coming up next.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
We do so Lisa Hill and Mary J. Blige, the
five million dollar lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh lord, they're still going at I talk to me,
is still going at Mary.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Don't give a damn dish.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Mary's team has not responded to me, but I did
talk to me yesterday and she she watched the segment
that we did and she wanted to clear.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Up some things.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Okay, So we're gonna get into that first thing in
the latest.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
All right, we'll talk about it when we come back.
It's the world's most dangerous morning to show, The Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Club, The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne to God, just hilarious, envious out what Lauren Leroe says,
and it is time for the ladies with Lauren lawn.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Be coming a straight fast?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Did she gets them to somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
She'd be having the latest on.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
The latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Sometimes you have sometimes you have details, sometimes you have
a little bit of everything.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Talk to me, all right, y'all.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
So I told you that he was going to get
something straight when it came to this, me to hill In,
Mary J. Blige, five million dollar LOSSU Ravado?
Speaker 6 (20:26):
All right?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
So I spoke to me to hill In and she
wanted to make clear Charlemagne. You would ask some questions
about why five million dollars? And is Vado even making that?
Speaker 13 (20:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
What I said, was he ever? I said?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Has he ever made that for camra On when he
was signed the camera on? Did he ever make that
for Calid when he was signed with cald What? What
made them project five million dollars for? All right?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Well, before y'all get to that, I didn't want to
say anything yesterday because everybody knew who this name was.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But who is Vado?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Because I thought y'all was mistaken Vito's name Forravado. Vito
was a singer. Don't play with him, put some respect
on it.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
But Noo is really a good singer. Yeah, like you
going viral online, I know that's time. I love you
the singer and Yo, he gonna tank R and B
money album and on it.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
You would enjoy him. But when is a rapper from
New York, you.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Should have pulled some of his old records.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Because I didn't know that Merji bliche had artists, and
I didn't know you that I'll get you a battle song, Okay,
you could listen to.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Actually he has one with Mary J. Blige, which is
we're gonna talk about it, Okay, okay. So according to
Misa Hill, and she says, when you calculated numbers, Botto
was writing for two Mary J. Blige albums as well
as two tours that he was promised that he was
going to go on with her that are now not
happening allegedly.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So Mysa says Mary J.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Blige removed all of this allegedly and the number the
five million dollars is not for her from them in
anticipating album sales and it's not because they were supporting
her label. It's because he's a super creative writer, vocal
producer and ghostwriter. And the song, for instance, that he
has with Mary J. Blige to Still Believe in The
Still Believe In Love song went ten weeks number one
(22:01):
on the chart. So basically she's saying that, like there
were things happening, like he was supposed to be on tour,
which would have equaled bookings, and he has like writings
and different things that he's been doing and what was
doing that he can't do anymore because allegedly Mary Jay
is like, no, because you didn't come over.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
To the side.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I appreciate all that information, but I still don't answer
my questions. Did he ever make five million dollars the Cameron?
Do you have to make five million dollars with Calum?
What made him think he could make five million dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I do agree that if he is stuck in a contract,
that he shouldn't be in anymore, and Mary is the
reason for that.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
To marriage she let him out the contract that I
agree with.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yes, and you know me so also wanted to make
it clear that her and Mary J. Blige and their
friendship of over thirty years that not end or fall
out or wherever it is right now because of Vado,
and she did not follow this lawsuit just because she's
upset that they're no longer friends. To Charlemagne's point, it
was about the business, and it was about the contract
and it wasn't honored. And you know, if it was
(22:52):
the other way around where he had a contract he
was supposed to honor with Mary J. Blige or whatever,
and he did not do that, they could have taken
legal action as well.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So you know that she just wanted to clear it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Saying, it's no permanent friends and enemies when it comes
to business, But what.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
If you are already friends.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It's easy to say that when people you're not really
dealing with, when you're actually friends with a person.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Is it, Yeah, it definitely can mess up. It's difficult relationships.
It's definitely difficult.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
I prefer not to do business with friends with a friend, yeah,
And if I do do it, I'd rather be like
stand off, like maybe I'm just like I don't know something,
because it gets a little tricky. But she also wanted
to clarify the timeline on when they fell out. She
says that she said, it's been a year that they
have not spoken, and again she doesn't really know the
(23:39):
exact reason why, but there's a ton of different things
that have happened within that year. She said, Jess, she
heard you say that you saw them at the strength
of a woman content in twenty four and she wanted
to make it clear. She alleges that during that time,
marriage a Blige wasn't even speaking to her because she released,
you know, a collaboration.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Of her own.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
What's trying to relax.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
It's so much going on, and I didn't realize that
she would talk directly to me while all this is happening,
peopuld be listening.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I think she just wants to clear things up because
even though you.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Realize that they weren't they literally set on the panel together.
But you know what, we don't know what's happening, right.
That's just another example you don't know what people are
really going through behind closed doors.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Because I swear like it seemed.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Like everything was fine, Like they were in the same rooms,
we were behind stage together, and no, Mary not supposed
to be like, oh I don't like that bitch, and
you know me isposed don't like you know it wasn't
given that energy. And these are two women that know
how to govern themselves with or without drama, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
But I tell you who don't give a damn about
none of this Mary Jane.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Okay, you do that video that you sent me yesterday
with Mary and.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Just like sing the damn songs I can get about here.
If you think Mary care about any of this.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Crazy Ryan got nothing from the side I've been trying, y'all,
is Jane.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
No, I don't think that's what I said.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yeah, yeah, let's see with that Jay Sam. I can't
believe we don't know the sh Yeah, I know. I
never thought about it.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Oh no, I never heard nobody ask that before. What
is the j because you know how weezy f he
always he changed the FS for something different every song.
Mary Jane so perfect.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I like that.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Yeah, that is the update there. But yeah, the lawsuit
is still ongoing. But she didn't want to clear up
those few things. Basically, she says, stop playing with you know,
artists and creative charlagage because you don't know what's in
their pockets.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I know it's not, but that's why I'm asking the question.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But you know what, you know what That's why the
bottom Did the guy say anything yet? No, this is
nothing personal. The bottle Bittle has always been a cool,
solid individual. I'm just from business perspective. When I'm thinking
about the business, I think about Cam, I think about Caln.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Did he ever make Cam five million dollars? Did he
ever make Callum five million dollars?
Speaker 13 (25:54):
So?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What would you know make them feel like? What would
why would they project that he could make them?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
For me?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I'm just asking, That's why I'm asking asking questions.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Well, do we have a song, because I'm going to
identify bottle Mary J.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
Blige song that bottle is on.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I may have heard it.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
You hear something you don't even know. You don't put
the name to the face.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
And that's why it sucks to be an artist.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
You've been mentioning a bottle for the last three days,
but not one goddamn record.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Play yeah, and they hae no record?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Let me see you. Well, we don't have nothing.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Just sitting here.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
I didn't mean to do that. Shuts me out. You
want me to scratch scratch too?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
I just sitting here.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Come on, get with it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
We got front page news coming up next with Morgan
Wood just the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
You're checking out the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous Morning to show the
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Charlamagne the God just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Dj Ndia is out with Lauren le Roe says, and
and it's time for front page news with Morgan Woods. Morgan,
what's happening? Can I do two NBA playoff scores first?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Morgan? Okay, that's last night.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
The Rockets beat the Warriors one thirty one to one
sixteen and the Los Angeles Lakers Timberwolves in five. Okay,
the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.
Yesterday Lebron James and Lucas sitting they ass at home,
and I'm laughing my ass off because I don't know
if this.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Was real or now.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But there was a picture of Ronnie James and he
posted missing the beach, and Anthony Edwards Leftacama and said,
I'm about to I'm gonna send you and your daddy
home there early he did Timberwolves in five.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Okay, that is out. Well, we got Morgan all right, y'all.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
So former Vice President Kamala Harris is criticizing President Trump's
tariff policies. In her first major public remarks since leaving
the White House now, Harris delivered a keynote address at
a gala for Emerged America in San Francisco, California, yesterday,
where she said people are describing the recent months as
absolute chaos. She spoke about current leadership, the current administration,
(27:54):
and said that the country belongs to we the people,
not those in power. Let's take a listen to former
Vice President Kamala Harris's comments at Emerged American.
Speaker 18 (28:02):
The American people deserve leaders who make their lives better
and make our country stronger. But sadly, we have seen
quite the opposite over these past few months.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
This country is ours.
Speaker 18 (28:26):
It doesn't belong to whoever.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Is in the White House.
Speaker 18 (28:31):
It belongs to you, It belongs to us, It belongs
to we the people.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
She's absolutely right, absolutely right. But when the media doesn't care,
they don't care. Because I wasn't home yesterday, so I
didn't see any cable news. But was that speech ad anywhere?
I think, I don't believe that I see it on
social media.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I see it on cable news.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Her first bee since I was like, oh, what did.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I remember you telling us it was gonna happen. Morgan, Yeah, no,
no it was not.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
It was not televised, but so yeah, I did have
to go looking for it. So what you're saying is
that that's something that more people should have saw, more
people should have heard when the.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Media don't care, they don't care because I did not
see that speech nowhere, and it sounded like it was
a good speech.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm gonna watch it in full later.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
So yeah, the former VP, she did say that the
tariffs that Trump has imposed are clearly inviting a recession,
referring to what she now calls the greatest man made
economic crisis in modern presidential history. Now elsewhere or meanwhile,
on Capitol Hill, yesterday I was out there. Democratic lawmakers
gathered for remarks on the steps of the US Capitol
(29:40):
for an event that marked Trump's one hundred days of
what they call chaos.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Now.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke alongside House Minority Leader
King Jeffries. Georgia Senator Rafael Warnock, Delaware Senator Lisa Rochester,
and others also spoke. Let's take a listen to Georgia
Senator Rafael Warnock's comments.
Speaker 17 (30:00):
This is the worst first one hundred days that this
country is seen in a very very long time. And
so know that as we fight on the inside, we
need you to fight on the outside, and we will
prove once again that this is the United States of America.
And at the end of the day, it's the people
(30:20):
who have the last word.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
So, Delaware Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is only one
of two black senators, Okay, real quick, just you know,
plugs that real quick in the Senate.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
And the other one is here in Maryland. Hey, hey,
also Brooks.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
So Lisa, Delaware Senator Lisa bent Rochester said that she
has a message for Republicans across the aisle, and here's
what she had to say in her comments on the steps.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
When I first came in, the word was unprecedented.
Speaker 13 (30:48):
But now the words are uncertain, chaotic, confused, and corrupt.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Those are the words. And so to our colleagues on.
Speaker 13 (30:59):
The other side of the aisle, I say, on this
one hundred and first day, there is an adage the
truth shall set you free, the truth shall shut you free.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
Yeah, so what do you guys think the first one
hundred days? It seems like the country is still divided
more divided than ever. And is it more of the
same as you're seeing from Dems or do you actually
see that there is some there is some galvanizing, there's
some fight there.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
What do you think, Chug May No, I.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Still don't see no galvanizing and I still don't see
no fight. But the reality also is, man, you know,
we don't have time for division. And the reason we
don't have time for division right now is because this
is America. Regardless of who's in the White House, everything
that's happening, Uh, you know, everything that's happening in regard
to this administration is going to impact all American people.
When the shelves are empty, it don't matter if you
Democrat are Republican. You know, when people are losing their
(31:51):
jobs and the economy is bad, it don't matter if
you Democrat are Republican.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Everybody is going to suffer. So you know, y'all can
sit there and keep you.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
No pointing the finger and saying, oh are you Democrat Republican?
But at the end of the day, if everybody broke,
that's going that's what's really gonna matter.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
You know who kind of just said that about one
hundred days Nelly what Nelly said. He just said he
looking at the glasses half full. He's trying to stay positive.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
So it's kind of I don't even know why you
bought Nelly into the conversation.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Because I saw it this morning and I was like,
it's luten.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Nelly, But I have no idea because he has no
idea what Nelly was on Fox News.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
He gave a comment to Fox News and he said
he's looking at the glasses half fool because that's the
type of guy he is, and he's staying positive.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you really don't have no choice.
You really don't have no choice but to remain optimistic.
But you still got to deal with the reality of life,
you know what I mean. And the reality of life
is I don't care what your political party is when
your economy's back period.
Speaker 10 (32:42):
All right, Well, let me just get into my last
story real quick. Elon Musk may be stepping away from
the Trump administration. There's no official announcement that he made,
but yesterday during the cabinet meeting, he did indicate that
it was an honor to serve. He tout it finding
one hundred sixty billion dollars of government waste and predicted
more accomplishments for the White House moving forward. Also keeping
(33:03):
in mind that he is just a special government employee,
so his days are numbered anyway, he was only allotted
one hundred and thirty days. Now, Trump told Musk it's
unfair that he's been treated the way that he has,
and must responded, well, they do like to burn my cars,
which is not great. And that's a reference to the
ongoing acts of vandalism involving Tesla vehicles.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Of course, he has s did to take.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
Quite a loss as being involved with this administration through Tesla,
not so much the used ones.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
But you know, this is not a good look.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
So if you did find all his money in ways,
what they're gonna do with the money? Remember remember remember
when they was touting those five thousand dollars stimulus checks
they was going to give the people if they found
more ways, So what's up?
Speaker 10 (33:42):
I believe that all of this is going to go
into the efforts of that supposed Well, this is what
they're saying, at least, this is what Dems are saying,
is that these tax breaks and all this money that
you know, he's supposedly finding, it's going to be lying
in the pockets of his billionaire buddies, or at least
that's what the Dems are.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I want to say something about the media again.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Media has not been mentioning Elon Musk like that in
recent weeks. Elon Musk, you know, hasn't even been seeking
media like that. You haven't really seen them tweets. He
was making all that noise with Doge earlier, and then
it started impacting his business.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I was gonna say, his pocket and now.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That's right, Yeah, that's right, that's right. Now, he didn't win,
thought he was exempt. Thought was that's right?
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Oh you thought I was fooling you? Okay, anyways, sorry,
all right, y'all. That's your front face News.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
When we come back the Icon Living, Carrie Washington will
be joining us. She's got a new movie out called
Shadow Force. It will be in Thetis Made Knife and
we're going to talk to her next on the World's
Most Dangerous Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
To Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (34:56):
Warning everybody you see J n V, Jesse Larris, the
guy we at the breakfast club.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
We got a special guest in the building, the Icon
living Kerry Washington here. How are you kidding?
Speaker 9 (35:06):
Good?
Speaker 6 (35:06):
I'm happy to be here. Always good when I'm.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
With you all.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yeah, what's your energy like this morning?
Speaker 20 (35:10):
I feel good, I feel centered, I feel grateful. Yeah,
I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Do you have an attention this morning? When you will go?
Speaker 20 (35:17):
I didn't state an intention when I woke up this morning,
but I woke up with a lot of gratitude.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Amazing, Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
What's the gratitude for?
Speaker 13 (35:25):
You know?
Speaker 20 (35:26):
I feel like this is going to sound so cliche,
but I'm very aware lately. Maybe I'm trying to cultivate
more awareness lately that as much as things are challenging
in the world, Like I feel like the circumstances in
the world are tough at the moment for a lot
of people, but also two things can be true. There's
so much of my life that is truly answered prayers,
(35:49):
Like I know when I wake up that the career
I have, my marriage, my children, my health, that like
I am living, I'm walking in prayers answered it.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
This is a time for I mean, it always never
a time, but I want people to return back to
God in this moment. I really because if you are
a person of faith and you got to believe, everything
truly does happen for a greater good, right, or at
least for some reason that we may not understand.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
I do believe that I do. I think that.
Speaker 20 (36:17):
I try to remember though, also that that faith is
not just about being like handing your power over that.
For me, faith is about listening for God's will, which
is also pointing me in the right direction toward action.
Right Like faith is not just about like sitting back
and saying like other people will do or somebody else
(36:37):
will provide.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
It's also about like, how can you use me today?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Lord?
Speaker 13 (36:40):
Right?
Speaker 20 (36:40):
How can I be of service today? How can I
show up? Because faith isn't just about being inactive, It's
about like really stepping into your purpose. You're calling your
responsibility action?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Is that your word for this season? Since you're in shadow?
For I do you know?
Speaker 6 (36:57):
It's funny?
Speaker 20 (36:58):
I feel like the last time I was here may
have been to talk about my memoir Thicker than Water,
And it was when I was writing Thicker than Water,
I was making this movie, and so there was like
an awareness of a strength that was growing in my life,
like an emotional strength, a spiritual strength.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
With my family.
Speaker 20 (37:15):
And I feel like the film allowed me to put
that in my body, like in my cells, to be like,
what does fierceness really look like feel like on me?
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Not that I know that.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
Thinking about back to that conversation, I can I've seen
a movie, so I can kind of see what you're
talking about. Yeah, but did you ever think that you'll
be taking on because this is your first action film,
you'd be taking on action in your career in a
role like this.
Speaker 20 (37:37):
So, I mean, I'm just gonna be honest with you.
I did an action film twenty years ago. I was
Angelina Julie's best friend and mister Missus Smith and I
got to like climb that mountain with Angelina and shoot
some guns, and I was like.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I love this.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
I loved it.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Oh, so you loved it. But I never had a chance.
Speaker 20 (37:56):
Yeah until I then, I like, my career kind of
took a different turn, and I was doing drama and
TV and movies and comedy, but I'd never had a
chance to do action again, and I really wanted to,
so my production company, Simpson Street. When Scandal ended, I
was like, we need to find a great action film,
and when I read this one, I was like, this
is it because I feel like my favorite action films
(38:16):
are the ones where you know why the explosions are
happening right where you care about the characters, where there
are real emotional stakes, and so I felt like to
have a big This film is like a crazy, big ass,
splashy action adventure.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
But at its heart, it's about love.
Speaker 20 (38:32):
It's about family, It's about the sacrifices you make for
the people that you love the most. It's about what
it means to be a parent, and I think most
parents know what it feels like to be like I
would go to the ends of the earth to protect
this child.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
But if you are a trained mercenary.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
Like my character and they kill people for a living,
what does that look like to really do whatever it
takes to protect your little black boy Joy? Yea, what
was the training at this point in your career for
this action film versus that first action film.
Speaker 20 (38:59):
I don't even remember for the training for that one,
And you know, maybe because I'm older or just it
was so new for me.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
But this was intense.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
It was great.
Speaker 20 (39:06):
I mean there was a lot of just weightlifting and
pilates even just to get in shape to be able
to learn the choreography. And then there was stunt training
and weapons training because we're not just shooting guns where
loading guns, were cleaning guns, where there was the fight choreography.
I mean it was hours and hours of training.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Is you know a bus your gun before? No?
Speaker 6 (39:24):
I did.
Speaker 20 (39:25):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I had done a little bit,
but I really and on all different kinds of guns
and I'm a really good shot.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Did to make you want to own one?
Speaker 20 (39:33):
It didn't make me want to own one, but it
made me grateful that I could use it if I
needed to.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Definitely, Yeah, was that ever challenging? What part of it
was ever challenging?
Speaker 20 (39:41):
The shooting was not challenging. Weirdly, it was weird like
that it came. I mean, I have a one of
our targets that I'm framing for my office that I
got like a bullet in each eye, like crazy. I
don't know why I'm such a good shot, but I'm
I'm not complaining. I think the physical, like learning the
martial arts, especially because a a lot of my fights.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
Were with people much bigger than me.
Speaker 20 (40:02):
So to learn how to fight Omarci, who plays my
husband in the film, who's the actor of many of
You may love him from Lupin or Lupin if you're
saying it the French way, but he's so much taller
than me, and so to figure out, like what is
my fight approach to be able to take him on
was fun.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Hard, I'll be honest with you, sounds very tiring, like
what would the recovery process likes.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
A press while you're yeah at all, But I loved it.
I mean, it's it was.
Speaker 20 (40:29):
It was useful to have a husband at the you know,
my husband who was a former professional athlete, to be
able to kind of help me through some of that.
Speaker 6 (40:37):
But I love that.
Speaker 20 (40:38):
I love challenging myself physically, and I love working out.
I love getting into the body of the character. So
it was exhausting, but I.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Also felt, I don't know, I was really proud.
Speaker 20 (40:47):
That when my kids would get up on a Saturday morning,
they would come downstairs and see mommy like with the
boxing gloves on, kicking ass and the driveway with my trainer,
Like there was something really exciting about that.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
The role, like this help you to express your shadow
side war.
Speaker 6 (41:00):
I think so.
Speaker 20 (41:01):
I definitely like i've I think my go to personality.
I'm much more of a lover than a fighter. I'm
not a person who likes to argue. I'm not really combative.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
I'm not.
Speaker 20 (41:11):
I'm not avoidant, but I'm definitely not an aggressive person.
So this did help me tap into a level of
anger and aggression and courage more than anything.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Ooh, courage. That's by courage.
Speaker 20 (41:25):
Because I think when you put yourself in situations where
you can get hurt, it requires you to face those
fears and you know the It's funny. I was talking
to Omar because he's French and our word courage comes
from the French word kul, which means heart. So it's
really about like having a strong heart, a capacity to
(41:49):
challenge your heart.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
That's interesting because I was thinking about something earlier, like
what do you think your characters have taught you that
no human being our real life ever.
Speaker 20 (42:02):
I mean, I'm lucky because every time I play a character,
I get to learn her greatest lessons. So it's almost
like reincarnation in this lifetime, like I get to learn
what she learns and then fold it into my life
to move forward. A lot of times, what characters remind me,
they remind me to be grateful, you know, Like for
this film in Shadow Force, it's really about what it
(42:26):
takes to protect the people you love from the systems
that want to cause you harm, which I think is
very relevant right now. But this couple, they used to
be part of this spy unit. You know, they were
trained killers together, they broke the rules, they fell in love.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
I got pregnant.
Speaker 20 (42:40):
So now we have to go on the run to
protect our kid from the very unit that we used
to be a part of, the Shadow Force unit. So
for me, the film is about, like, when there are
systems that don't want you to have freedom and love
and joy, what do you do to fight those systems?
And I think that's a great lesson to be reminded
of right now. It's a great question for all of
us to be asking ourselves right now. You know, Like
(43:01):
I too, as a mom, want to protect my black
boy joy. I want my son to hold onto his
joy in the face of a world that may not
be invested in his liberty and strength. And so that
for the film, the film was a great reminder.
Speaker 6 (43:15):
Also these two mercenaries. You know, they have to separate.
Speaker 20 (43:18):
I kind of back off from the family to try
to protect them from Afar, and Omar plays the dad.
Speaker 6 (43:24):
It's this beautiful.
Speaker 20 (43:25):
It's such a perfect date movie because the action is
beast but Omar also plays He's doing the primary parenting
of the dad, and that image of a black father
who's so like locked in and present is so beautiful
in a film. But part of what they learn is
about partnership. Like, if you're lucky enough to have a
partner in parenting, you are so much stronger when you
(43:46):
lean into that partnership. And in that partner could be
your spouse, it could be your sister, it could be
your mother, it could be your stepdad, it could be
whoever is part of that village. But leaning into that
partnership in parenting.
Speaker 6 (43:57):
Is also a gift.
Speaker 20 (43:58):
So I think I walked away from the film so
grateful for my partner, for my kids, for our safety,
for our willingness to fight for our joy no matter
what's happening in the world.
Speaker 19 (44:07):
Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington when we come back,
don't move.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (44:11):
Good morning, everybody, It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the
Guy we Are the Breakfast Club. Lauren la Roast is
here as well. Was still kicking it with Carrie Washington.
Speaker 7 (44:21):
Lauren the first scene that stood out to me where
I was like, I think this is what I'm feeling.
I'm feeling like she's fighting the fact that like this
is a good man and he loves your son and
you as much as you think he does.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Just let him do it.
Speaker 7 (44:34):
Oh, you got it, girl. Y'all were at the gun
range and.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Don't don't give no damn more.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
Okay, Yeah, yeah, y'all and y'all y'all had the back
and forth there, yeah, and you left and his shot
was perfect, and I was like, man, it talked about
a lot about how men have to sacrifice in family
and relationship versus how women have to do it and how.
Speaker 12 (44:54):
We feel it.
Speaker 20 (44:55):
Yes, and now we come together because you really kind
of twisted the gender norms in this film where the
woman is out there working protecting from Afar, trying to
you know, not just bring home the bacon, like bring
home the dead bodies to protect this family. But he's
even though he's badass and strong, he's also like the
more sensitive parents.
Speaker 6 (45:11):
He's like really present.
Speaker 20 (45:13):
I was talking to my girlfriends, like, to me, there
is nothing sexier than watching a man be a good dad.
Speaker 6 (45:17):
It is just like so beautiful.
Speaker 20 (45:19):
So I just love that we're kind of playing in
those gender norms and asking people to challenge your idea
of even what family looks like today.
Speaker 7 (45:27):
Did that cause any conversations for you at home with
your family of like, Okay, here are some things that
you know I want to I don't know, let you do.
Let you I'm gonna I'm gonna lean and allow you
to do. Because that was like the biggest thing is.
Speaker 20 (45:39):
Like, yeah, I don't know that the film caused me
to have those conversations in my marriage. But I think
one of the reasons why the film really resonated for
me is because I do really understand the value of
the partnership that I can and I really do have.
You know, I love parenting with my husband. You know,
I love our marriage and I love how we are
(45:59):
a team with these kids, and both are really important.
Like to cultivate the time to just be a couple
and then to cultivate the time to pour into the
family too.
Speaker 6 (46:09):
All of that is just so important.
Speaker 20 (46:10):
So when I read the script, I was like, Oh,
this just feels so good to see black love portrayed
in this way black power like they are so badass,
but also to see black love sort of explored in
this way.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
You play so many different roles, like when you go home,
how do you remain rooted?
Speaker 3 (46:29):
And who Carrie Washington is.
Speaker 20 (46:30):
Yeah, I have rituals that I do at the end
of the day, like a lot of times, you know,
a lot of times I'll play a character, for example,
who's married to somebody else, right, And so for me,
when I take off my wedding ring and put it
back on at the beginning of the end of the day,
that's a small ritual.
Speaker 6 (46:45):
That grounds me and who I am.
Speaker 20 (46:47):
So it's such a big part of who I am
and how I walk in the world. And I just
I have like ways that I close out the day
because in the beginning of my career I used to
try to live in these characters all day long. But
when you get married and have kids, You're like, I
don't need to go home and be sharing my shadow
self with people that don't.
Speaker 6 (47:04):
Deserve that or need that. So I try to.
Speaker 20 (47:06):
Really create containers you know, some of that has to
do with the hair and the makeup. When I take
off the costume, I just try to leave what needs
to be left there. It's not always perfect. There's you know,
I'm a person who thinks a lot about the work
even when I'm not at work. But I do try
to make sure that I'm as present as I can
be with my family because they deserve that.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Have you ever bought a home and called you?
Speaker 5 (47:27):
You mane?
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Their own name?
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Characters?
Speaker 3 (47:30):
The characters now, yes, Olivia.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
No, no, okay no no no.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
I feel like I got to say gradulations to you too,
because the six Triple Late received the Congressional Medal.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Yes, honor.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
I feel I feel like the Netflix series, Nicole Avon
and Tyler Perry, I feel like that amplified that story.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
That was our goal.
Speaker 20 (47:53):
You know, when when Tyler and Nicole came to me
with that project.
Speaker 6 (47:56):
It was so clear to us that this story.
Speaker 20 (47:59):
Needed to be told because these women needed to be celebrated,
and that the most important thing was that we made
a movie that really resonated with people so that no
one would ever forget these women existed and what they did,
the sacrifices they made for this country and the courage
they had to do what they did. So the fact
that it like broke records, it was Tyler's biggest film
ever on Netflix, that fifty million people watched it in
(48:21):
the first few months, Like it was just an insane
success for the platform. And I'm really proud of that
because what that says to me is that at a
time when our history is so under attack, that that
is a story that cannot be taken away from us,
and that we understand our role to do good and
to make the world a better place, and that that
has been a part of the history of this country forever.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
That feels psychologically to see the same administration has taken
so much from us to also reward the six triple late.
Speaker 20 (48:53):
I don't know if it was this administration that made
that decision or if it happened prior to I just
ought to speak at yeah, yeah, yeah, But I would
just say, whoever gives them their flowers, they deserve their flowers.
It doesn't make me say that the other decisions they're
making are okay, right, Like they don't get a pass
because they've done this one thing. These women deserve to
be honored and celebrated despite whoever is in power at
(49:15):
any time, and.
Speaker 7 (49:16):
Then the NAACP Image of work moments. But thank you
to Tyler Perry. Congratulations, I'll Standing Actress in a Motion
Picture for us, and.
Speaker 20 (49:24):
Then we also won Best Picture, which was so proud
as an executive producer of that film.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Yeah, the movie was perfectly cast. It to oh my god,
all those girls.
Speaker 6 (49:37):
It was.
Speaker 20 (49:38):
As a producer, I was really proud to be introducing
all of that young talent, all those incredible young black
actresses to the world.
Speaker 6 (49:44):
They were so.
Speaker 20 (49:44):
Amazing and in shadow force too. I mean Jalil As
a producer, when we audition Omar and I auditioned Julia,
who plays our son in the film, I mean, he
like steals the movie. He's so adorable and lovable and
he has to be right because every explosion, every kick,
every punch is for him, so you have to fall
in love with him, and he's so good. And then
method Man's in the film to find Joy. We were
(50:06):
lucky we got her before her fancy Oscar. But the
cast is incredible. It's stacked.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
I love Yeah, Graduat.
Speaker 7 (50:15):
I wanted to ask you when the NAACP Image of
word moment happened where you think Tyler Perry again, and
then he posted online talking about how that brought him
to tears. Y'all talked after. I'm sure was it an
emotional conversation.
Speaker 20 (50:26):
It was because again, like we don't you know, we
had just made this film to give flowers to eight
hundred and fifty two women in heaven and three who
were still with us, to honor their sacrifice and their service.
And he was like, I'm so grateful that you take
that you took the time to give me my flowers
(50:48):
now right, we can't wait for people to go to
say how great they are. We need to let people
know in the real And I didn't. I just didn't
know that I had thanked him twice.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Going throughause, I blacked out.
Speaker 20 (50:59):
I really really did not think I was gonna win.
Like I told Nandi to stay home, like you gotta
come to this baby, Like I knew. I knew that
Cynthia Rivo was winning that award or she was nominated
for an Oscar. I'm such a crazy, wicked fan, like
I voted for Cynthia, so it was amazing. I really
was shocked, Like like Beyonce Album of the year, shocked,
like just couldn't believe that that had happened. Yeah, and
(51:21):
then when I got up on stage, I blacked out,
so I didn't remember having said him And the idea
when I was walking off stage that I may not
have said his name was so devastating to me.
Speaker 6 (51:29):
I just blew up the whole show.
Speaker 5 (51:31):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
I love that level of gratitude, you know what I mean,
because I feel like a lot of people who don't
do that. Why was that so important for you to
do in that moment? Like I have to make sure
I think that.
Speaker 20 (51:39):
I think because Tyler's been such a support for me
throughout my career. Like at a time earlier in my
career where I was like I'm done acting, I don't
think I want to do this anymore, he called me
to be in for Colored Girls Beautiful film, and I
got to work with so many of my heroes, Whoopi
Goldberg and Felicia Rashad and Loretta Devine and Janet Jackson
and Anica Noni Rose a young Tessa Thompson. Like he's
(51:59):
been there for me even when I've struggled, like in
my career with Paparazzi and fame. He's provided safe spaces
for me. He's a confidant, he's an advisor, he's a
real friend. And to come to me with this role,
I just thought this was an extraordinary gift to be
able to play Captain Charity Adams, a woman who was
so inspiring and so heroic. It really felt like the
(52:19):
gift of a lifetime to be asked to step into
this process with him and co produce with him.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
So I want.
Speaker 6 (52:24):
I just it was. I couldn't imagine not thinking him.
Speaker 19 (52:27):
Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington when we come back,
don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good Morning.
Speaker 5 (52:32):
Wanting everybody.
Speaker 19 (52:32):
It's theej Envy, Jesse, Larius Charlomagne, the guy we are
to Breakfast Club. Lorn La Ross here as well, was
still kicking it with Kerrie Washington Charlomagne.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
But what are the biggest lessons you've learned as a
producer as opposed to things you learned as a as
a fad actor.
Speaker 6 (52:49):
I guess the thing I love most about producing is
when you're.
Speaker 20 (52:53):
An actor, you really are sitting around waiting for somebody
else to give you an opportunity to do what you
love to do right, Like you're like, please, somebody hire me,
somebody invite me to your party, Like I just want
to play, I want to hang out.
Speaker 6 (53:03):
I want a seat at the table.
Speaker 20 (53:05):
But when you're a producer, it's that thing of like
if you don't have a seat at the table, build
your own table. Like I get to build my own
table now, and because it's my table, it's the table
I know I want to be at and I do
not build a table for one. So to have a
table where I know thousands of people are getting to
work and to pursue excellence and chase their dreams because
of what we're doing at Simpson Street, that's such a gift.
(53:26):
So I think as a producer again, it's really about
like how can I be of service, not just to
find the projects that I want to do and tell
the stories I want to tell for me, but also like,
I'm so proud of our show Reasonable Doubt, which we're
shooting in Atlanta right now, season.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
Three, Desperate Housewives, Yeah I make Yeah, So.
Speaker 20 (53:40):
We're really like we are creating lots of opportunities not
just for me but for other people, and that I
love to be of service.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
I was going to ask how do you pick what
you get involved in or choose to do.
Speaker 7 (53:49):
Because the Desperate Housewives spin off, it's like twenty years later. Yeah,
were you a fan of the show or like, how what's.
Speaker 20 (53:55):
The fact I love the show. I'm a huge fan
of the show and that showrunner Mark Cherry. I just
I thought it's just a great time. Like some of
the issues of that show, the idea of like living
a life of perfection where everything looks good, but underneath
there are secrets and desires and complexities that we're not
talking about. Like that still resonates. So I thought this
(54:17):
was a good time to to think about how would
that show exist now? Who would be in that cul
de sac now? Because it looks different now than it
did twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (54:26):
I see people were not happy about that, though I
saw some backlash. It was like, we don't want a
new cast. I think they're trying to say we don't
want to adversity. I think that's what it really says.
Speaker 7 (54:34):
I was thinking, I mean, some black neighbors, we'll see,
we'll see.
Speaker 3 (54:39):
How do you even when you hear stuff like that,
does it deter you in any way?
Speaker 8 (54:42):
Like?
Speaker 3 (54:42):
Is that a project? I want to touch.
Speaker 20 (54:43):
I'm open to feedback. I think it's important to have
your ear open to criticism. But I try to only
give real power to people who are in the game
right like I don't. I don't really take criticism to
heart from people who I don't admire and respect.
Speaker 7 (54:59):
Dang, you you're from outside.
Speaker 20 (55:05):
I have to like you and like how you're living
and right you're doing and what you're creating to feel
like you have a say on what I do.
Speaker 6 (55:15):
But I'm very open. I'm a very collaborative person. I'm
very open to feedback.
Speaker 20 (55:19):
I love getting like I love directors who challenge me,
who make me be better, who ask tough questions.
Speaker 6 (55:24):
You just have to be careful with your energy and
not give it to haters.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
So just the random folks on social media you like whatever,
No I mean you.
Speaker 6 (55:32):
I again, I think you have to stay aware.
Speaker 20 (55:34):
I think anytime you just dismiss human beings is that's
not healthy because everybody matters. Everybody's a child of God,
People's voices matter, people count. But you just have to
For me, as I'm weighing input, I have to make
sure that I don't give my power away.
Speaker 1 (55:50):
Question when when you were doing scandal, right, Yeah, the
scandal seemed very absurd.
Speaker 3 (55:54):
You think about the government.
Speaker 1 (55:56):
When you look at the government now, you like, what
like shann couldn't even it's wild.
Speaker 3 (56:02):
What would do right now if she was part of
his government.
Speaker 20 (56:05):
Which I don't think she would be part of this government.
I don't think she would have you know, she wouldn't
serve this administration.
Speaker 3 (56:12):
Even to be a spool who sat by the door
like the that's.
Speaker 20 (56:15):
An interesting twist. Maybe Shonda would write that kind of version.
Speaker 6 (56:19):
Yeah, I don't. I really this administration is.
Speaker 20 (56:22):
Beyond what I can wrap my head around right now,
and so I'm really really trying to pivot my focus
on most days to how each of us can show
up to participate in this process in ways that really matters,
because I think we got here because too many people
feel like they don't matter, like their voices didn't matter.
(56:44):
I think if more people understood the power of their vote,
we wouldn't be where we are.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
When did you first realize people were watching you not
just as an actress, but as an as a leader.
Speaker 6 (56:56):
Oh that's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 20 (57:00):
I think I've always been a little bit of a
you know, I started my activism work when I was
a teenager. So I've always been a person who's kind
of been an artist but also tried to be of service.
Speaker 6 (57:12):
But I don't know.
Speaker 8 (57:13):
I don't, I don't.
Speaker 6 (57:13):
I mean, even as you said it, I was like, oh,
I guess people do think of me as a leader,
but I don't. That's not first in my mind. I
don't think about it in those terms. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (57:22):
Interesting, I would say, even politically like people they I
don't know your character of course because of you know,
living Pope, but even politically like people look to you
to see like who you're talking about, why you're talking about,
on what you're doing, what you're not doing. You got
off an X at one point, I did, Yeah you
took a break. I saw you post that as well.
Are you back now?
Speaker 3 (57:42):
No?
Speaker 6 (57:42):
No, no, no, right no.
Speaker 7 (57:45):
But it's a synonymous with Olivia popeen who you know
what I mean? The whole Scan show and.
Speaker 6 (57:49):
That was Twitter.
Speaker 20 (57:50):
Yeah, that was an ex. Twitter was made our show.
Part of what it was the culture on Twitter and
black Twitter. But X is a different place now. The
neighborhood has changed. I don't want to live there. I'm
not in that neighborhood anymore. I don't agree with the leadership.
You want to talk about leadership like, I don't agree
with the leadership there. I don't agree with how the
conversations are happening.
Speaker 6 (58:10):
It's not okay.
Speaker 20 (58:12):
It's not as safe a place as it used to be,
and it was never entirely safe, but now it's like
the wild West, and there's a lot of misinformation, and
so I don't want to be at that party.
Speaker 1 (58:22):
I'm glad you use the word safe because you don't
seem to play it safe, but you have this like
huge career. A lot of people in Hollywood want to
play it safe because they don't want to impact, you know,
their career.
Speaker 3 (58:32):
Why do you take that? I guess risk is the work.
Speaker 20 (58:35):
It's interesting because I even at my company, when we
talk about culture within the company at Simpson Street, we
often don't say, like we want to make sure this
is a safe space. We try to say, we want
to make sure this is a brave space, because it's
not about safety. It's about truth and having the courage,
being brave to say the things that need to be
said so that you can move everybody forward. Safe is
(58:55):
about like tiptoeing eggshells, working around people. It's like, no, no, no, no, no,
be real, Let's tell the truth, Let's be kind. But
I think clear is kind.
Speaker 3 (59:04):
What was there a brave story you want to tell
right now?
Speaker 1 (59:08):
Especially being like I said, they keep they're taking a
lot of things from it. So I feel like art
is going to be the only way to educate and inform.
Speaker 20 (59:15):
I was just at the Brooklyn Artists Ball last night
at the Brooklyn Museum and they were honoring Darren Walker,
who's an incredible leader, and he was saying that artists
hold such important meaning in the culture right now because
artists are like a mirror.
Speaker 6 (59:28):
Up to society.
Speaker 20 (59:29):
I'm really proud of Shadow for us. I really I
love this film. I feel like theaters are back, Like
I'm so excited about Sinners. I'm obsessed with that film
is so beautiful. I feel like this is another like
really exciting film to see in theaters because the locations
are gorgeous and it's not a lot of cgi Like
this is real people doing real stunts, putting our bodies
at risk. I'm excited to be in community with people
(59:52):
telling stories about the power of black family and black love.
And black parenting and black kids and and commit unity,
you know.
Speaker 6 (01:00:01):
Yeah, and then I'm starting a series Simpsons.
Speaker 20 (01:00:03):
Treet is producing a new series for Apple called Imperfect
Women that we start in a couple of weeks. We're
filming in LA So I'm really excited about that project
to us with Lizzie Moss from Handmaid's Tale, and that's
also really about like truth, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
And booked and busy trying. I love that.
Speaker 20 (01:00:20):
And I'm excited that we're shooting in LA you know,
because we need that after the fires. There's we really
need for more production to be happening in Los Angeles.
So I just finished doing a film there and now
we're starting this series.
Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Are you reprising your role as Alicia Masters? And fantastic film.
Speaker 6 (01:00:34):
I haven't been invited to.
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Manifestation, but you can put that out there.
Speaker 6 (01:00:41):
I do want to do more action films.
Speaker 20 (01:00:43):
I really feel like doing Shadow Force was so fun,
and I think it's exciting to work in that way,
to be to take on strength, not just intellectually and
emotionally and spiritually, but physically.
Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Got well. Thank you, Queen Carry Washington.
Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Always a pleasure when you pull up Shadow Forces in theaters.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Yes, my son, Yes, yes, it's the world's most dangerous
morning to show the Breakfast Club charlamagnea god, just hilarious,
envious out But Lauren La Rosas and I got to
shoot salute my guy, Abby the sandwich specialist from Newark,
New Jersey. He's up here providing us a breakfast sandwiches
this morning. Man, I told you about the good ass
salmon burger I had, Yes you did. Yes, so Abby
(01:01:38):
came up here.
Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
I can't wait to sank my team into one of
them sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Okay, So Lauren Herry, what the latest we can eat?
Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
I got you.
Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Lauren be coming a straight fast. She gets them from
somebody that knows somebody get the detail.
Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
She'd be having the latest on you.
Speaker 5 (01:01:57):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa fact.
Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Sometimes we have detailed, sometimes you have a little bit.
Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
Every time. Leader on the Breakfast Clubs talk to me.
Speaker 7 (01:02:06):
So last night the twenty second NBA season ended, Lebron
James and Lakers took a loss to the Timberwolves.
Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
Three tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Lakers, Shakers, Breakers, Takers tem.
Speaker 7 (01:02:21):
Well this morning at following that game, hashtag he is
forty has been trending.
Speaker 9 (01:02:27):
Now.
Speaker 7 (01:02:27):
This has been trending because that is Lebron James's age,
and every time the NBA season ends, Lebron James talks
about what his future is going to look like. This
time around, he said last night that he is undecided
when it comes to retirement or not. So people are
just going back and forth about whether he should retire
(01:02:47):
because I know he said before that he was just
waiting to be able to play a year or a
season with his son. Now he's been able to play
lebrony and people are like, hey, I think he you know,
maybe he should sit down. He's still looking good, but
maybe he shouldn't. People are going back and forth, Charlotte,
what you think?
Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
What I mean? I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
I mean Lebron can still play. I mean for me,
it's put it like this, I'm forty six years old.
I've been watching Lebron play what twenty one to twenty
two seasons. Now I've seen more. I've seen more of
what I saw yesterday. Like you know, I guess heartbreak
than I have him at the top. And it's not
fair to say, because you know, I watched Michael Jordan
(01:03:22):
for thirteen years. Half of that he won championships. I
watched Maggic Johnson for thirteen years. Half of that he
was winning championships. Lebron has played.
Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
Much, much, much, much, much much longer.
Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
But I've seen him lose a lot, and I've seen
a lot of people eat on his watch. Still, you know,
top five greatest NBA player of all time, but I've
seen a lot of people eat on his watch.
Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
So I don't know what he still has to prove
at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
Maybe he's still trying to chase that because he doesn't
like that kind of conversation. Maybe he's still trying to
chase some of those people I just named. But I
don't think he has anything to prove. But I mean,
I can't sit here and say he should retire because
his game. Don't say that at all.
Speaker 7 (01:03:58):
A lot of the articles last night it out and
I think some of these injuries are common just with
the game. But a lot of them pointed out last
night that he was limping out of the Crypto arena.
His left leg was swollen from a needy leede collision.
Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Here you wake up limping for no goddamn reason, okay,
and have to run up and down the corn.
Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
Like French or something stretching. I've seen it, crazy Yilli.
Even Charlamune coming in this money every morning, be like.
Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
I came out, Yes, he'd be doing that.
Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
I thought it was because he was on a spectrum
and didn't tell us. Thought it was a little remedia
at first.
Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
But no, it's literally is about to be fifty that's true.
Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
Well, if if Lebron James does opt into his option,
which he has to do by June twenty ninth, or
he becomes a free agent, he can return to the
Lakers for twenty six and it'll be worth fifty two
point six million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
If he does play for another year, I personally would
like to see him going back to Cleveland for his
last year and have his victory lap tour. And Cleveland
got a really good team, so you know, you never know,
like Cleveland got a really great team, right, like the
know that I don't know if they don't win the
championship this year, maybe somebody like Lebron can go there
and help get them over the top. And it's easy
to He'll be a free agency, they won't have to
lose anything. So who knows well.
Speaker 7 (01:05:09):
In other sports news really quick so we can get
to those salmon sandwiches. The Atlanta Falcons and their defensive
coordinator Jeff Albridge have been fined following that print call
that Jeff Albridge's son did to Shadoor Sanders over the
NFL draft.
Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
Let's take a listen to jeff Arbridge apologizing.
Speaker 8 (01:05:27):
First of all, I like to publicly apologize to Shadar
and the Sanders family for what occurred. Second of all,
I want to publicly apologize to mister Blank, Terry Foutino,
Ran Morris, and the entire Falcons organization. My actions, my
actions have not protected confidential data, were inexcusable. My son's
actions were absolutely inexcusable, and for that we are both
(01:05:49):
deeply sorry. The NFL has taken action and I fully
respect the punishment. We take full responsibility my son and myself,
and we will not be appealing to find in any
way going forward. I promised my son and I will
work hard to demonstrate we are better than this. Again,
I'm deeply sorry for our actions.
Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
You should have your son up to apologizing too.
Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
And furthermore, I'm taking money out all these accounts whatever
I didn't save it up to him, trust funds and everything.
This coming out your money, son, Okay, this quarter million,
you're gonna pay for this.
Speaker 7 (01:06:20):
So the Falcons will find two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
while Jeff Albridge will have to pay one hundred thousand
dollars in an edition for failing to prevent the disclosure
of confidential information that was distributed to the club and
advance of the NFL draft because that number his son
was able to obtain because of those confidential documents. Now, question, Jess,
what does a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars behind
(01:06:41):
within look like in your household? Because my mom I
would have been up there apologizing. She would have pulled
me by my like you that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
I would have to be a slave for the rest
of my life.
Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
Pretty much.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Yes, my mom is not paying that for me.
Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
My dad would not pay that for me, Like if
it was my fault, that's such a big bill, Like
that accumulates in the house, and it's my fault. I'm
working the rest of my life to pay that and
swoppens every day and I'm thirty three, But.
Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
I'm saying I'm not even joking, Like whatever trust fund
he has put up for that little boy, that money
should come out of that. It's like like whatever money
he got put away for that little boy, if that
little boy got money in his savings account, checking account,
all of that got to come out to go to
this fine. You got you a nice little car that
you was driving, You're gonna have to sell that to
anything you got valuable you got to get rid of
until his dad.
Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
Is paid off.
Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Daddy had a couple of dollars, so you know he
was driving something nice. You know, you know he was
not no more. Well, that is the latest, and make

If you're like into the breakfast Club and.
Speaker 9 (01:08:31):
I just wanted to know how you came up with them,
don't hear.
Speaker 13 (01:08:34):
The name, because you mean.
Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
You get a bunch of donkeys.
Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
That is what Charlemagne.
Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Because we live a life where we write are tongue
based off who we may have seen, he never say anything.
Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 17 (01:08:55):
In the word of charlemagnea god he's a donkey.
Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Cow man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey a day.
Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
To who now?
Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Yes, donkey today for Thursday, May first is going to
a thirty five year old Kentucky woman named Makisha Johnson.
Now today is made first. And do you know what
today is?
Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
It's the first day of Mental Health Awareness Month.
Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Okay, drop on the clues, bumps for mental health away
as we This month is dedicated to raising awareness, promoting education,
and providing resources to support those struggling with mental health challenges.
And that is what we are doing today with this donkey.
We are raising awareness to those struggling with mental health issues.
Because Makeisha is clearly struggling with mental health issues. Okay,
she was a patient at a Kentucky hospital and she
(01:09:37):
did something that a lot of people think about doing
when the process at the hospital is taking too long.
Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
What do you mean, Uncle Sharlah.
Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
She did something that a lot of people think about
doing when the process at the hospital is taking too long.
Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Well, let's go to WDR you for the report. Please.
Speaker 21 (01:09:50):
A woman is under arrest in Louisville after reportedly choking
and assaulting a U OFFL hospital nurse. Court records saying
nurse was making her roalm Saturday afternoon, when thirty five
year old Miikeisha Johnson allegedly attacked her.
Speaker 6 (01:10:04):
Plase Say.
Speaker 21 (01:10:04):
Footage of the incident shows Johnson choking the nurse, then
slamming her to the ground, where she reportedly began hitting
the nurse in the face.
Speaker 6 (01:10:12):
Officer Say.
Speaker 21 (01:10:12):
Johnson claims she was angry at the staff were taking
too long to discharge her. Johnson was charged with assault
of a healthcare provider, wanting endangerment and menacing.
Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Here's the thing. When you're ready to go, you're ready
to go. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
We have all been part of the discharge process from
the hospital in some way, shape or form, whether you've
been the patient or whether you've been waiting with somebody.
And yes, the hospital does drag their feet sometime. Okay,
it is a hurry up and wait situation. Nothing is
worse when you have to unexpectedly go to the hospital,
like you know, you got to go to the eall
like something that right with you, or the kids got
a bone out of side gets so you gotta up
and leave the house and you didn't plan to.
Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Oh my god, you be so.
Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Ready to leave the hospital once they tell you nothing
wrong or they fix what is wrong, but the hospital
do be taken forever. But just because you think about
choking somebody doesn't give you the right to do it.
Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Escially, when this nurse wasn't doing anything but her job.
Nurses out here working long hours, they're underpaid, they're stressed,
and they always put their own health ever risk just
to take care of our sick asses.
Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
Okay, they do not deserve to be attacked on the job,
full stop.
Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
But also, if you're trying to speed up the process, Makisha,
the quickest way to slow things down is by physically
attacking the nurse. Okay, you're definitely not going home now,
You're going to jail now. I'm not here to make
excuses for her violences. Okay, what she did was wrong,
but we have to know something was off with her mentally, right.
You gotta know that there is a lot of things
(01:11:38):
that are going to push people to the breaking point.
In this day and time that we live in. It's
gonna be a lot of things that are gonna make
people snap. And it's because folks like Mekeisha are walking
around with undiagnosed mental illnesses. Okay, a lot of folks
out here underpression and they don't got no tools, no resources,
no coping skills. They're not going to no therapy, they
don't have no emotional outlets. They just have frustration and
(01:12:02):
nowhere healthy to put it, and they end up projecting
on people the way that Makisha projected onto this nurse.
And that's not an individual problem. Okay, that just doesn't
stand with Makisha, that's a societal problem. We don't take
mental health seriously. We tell people just to man up
or suck it up or you know, get it.
Speaker 6 (01:12:22):
What, suck it up?
Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
You know you were best eat because I could have
tied all of that in with Kanye too, but I
didn't because he's somebody else that we know is deal
with mental health issues and people be telling him to
suck it up. He did it literally, But we tell
people to man up and get over it or just
deal with it. Meanwhile, people out here exploding over little things, okay,
and others have to pay the price like that poor nurse.
Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
So we need to get people help, get them therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
I personally don't believe this young woman, Makisha Johnson needs
to be in handcuffs but she does deserve to get
the credit today for being stupid, so give her the
biggest he huh. Yes, yo, this man said suck it
up and people exploding over little things?
Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
Rightness was so much gay intention? Oh my god, guys,
no album.
Speaker 3 (01:13:27):
But no, it is mental health aware.
Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Thisess wants to let's, you know, pay attention to what
with mental health awareness is all about? Okay, there are
people out here struggling with all types of mental health
challenges that they don't know what to do with. So
let this be the month that you know, we should
do it all the time, but we should alway be
raising awareness and promoting mental health education and providing resources
to people who need it.
Speaker 6 (01:13:48):
They gonna do that? Kane empathy?
Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Am I gonna get empathy? Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
The reason I gave mckeisy Johnson donkey to day is
because she's thirty five years old. At some point, you know,
you know you shouldn't know better about it. You know
you're not responsible for your trauma, but you are responsible
for your healing.
Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
I mean, I hear you just because what I think
you said something crazy. It's Samon Berger.

to talking and now it's like over from being a
street guy a man job. So it's like I'm just

long do you think.
Speaker 9 (01:16:33):
For a man while he's broke?
Speaker 4 (01:16:35):
You said, all right, so how you asked because you
kind of went out a little bit, you said, how
long should you take care of a man?
Speaker 13 (01:16:40):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Why he's broke?
Speaker 16 (01:16:42):
Yeah? How long you think? Like you should be done
for a minion while he's see.
Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
That's that goes on the situation basically, like that's bye,
that's whatever. The circumstances are, like you can't just put
because I can't tell you when you should stop putting
the bill for everything like this? He what does he
want to do? Do you see him trying to get
the job? Is he trying to make money some type
of way? Is he trying to you know, launch a
business or you know even a podcast something?
Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
What is he trying to do? Does he show you
any So he's starting.
Speaker 16 (01:17:11):
A clothing line, but it's like it ain't really like
growing good right now?
Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
So the closes trash is what you're saying, like he
ain't really.
Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
Have to It's not you wouldn't you wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
It's writing you this.
Speaker 15 (01:17:30):
I wear the promotion because I have a nice body,
So I wear the promotion.
Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
I get him some time wearing.
Speaker 13 (01:17:37):
You.
Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
You only wearing it because you know you're standing behind
your man like you know that's support and you want
him to make the money. But you gotta be real
with you something, because the clothes gotta be trash because.
Speaker 2 (01:17:48):

See, that's the thing everybody see.
Speaker 4 (01:18:08):
Social media makes it look easy for people to start
their own businesses and things like that, but that that
comes with the mindset. You need to have a mindset
of a sale. First of all, you know how to
be patient enough to take ls. You need to know
how to run a business.
Speaker 3 (01:18:23):
You need to know. You know what I'm saying, you got.

It's just certain things that.
Speaker 3 (01:18:25):
People financially before you started.
Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Busing exactly exactly, because you need money to make money,
especially when you have your own business. So he needs
a damn job like he needs to work for somebody
else before he can work for himself, right, yeah.

What's your question?
Speaker 14 (01:20:38):
Was wrong? Yes?
Speaker 9 (01:20:39):
I would like to ask how to keep negativity people
out your life and just keep your peace?
Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
Just it's simple, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:20:47):
Well I can't say it because it's easier said than done,
but I keep negative people out of my life just.
Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Not answering the phone. I don't go around people.
Speaker 4 (01:20:55):
You gotta surround yourself with, you know, positive vibes. I'm
assuming because I'm positive for the most part. Ain't nothing
wrong with a little negativity every now and then because
everything can't be all peaches and sunshine and everything like that,
and that builds character.
Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
Negativity kind of builds character a little bit.
Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
But yeah, just don't answer the phone. Just don't talk
to people.
Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Is it your friends, your friends, your family?
Speaker 11 (01:21:17):
Like?
Speaker 8 (01:21:17):
Who is it?
Speaker 6 (01:21:17):
Friends?
Speaker 9 (01:21:18):
And family? People that I thought that was really close to,
that I trust that have been around for a long time,
and they just did some disrespectful things to me over
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
So I don't know how to make it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Oh okay, So that's what happened.
Speaker 4 (01:21:30):
All right, okay, so now we're being more specific. That
was real broad how you just came out like that.
All right, cool, but yeah, you you set that boundary, like, nah,
I'm not allowing this in my life. This is not
that you have to really really know what you won't take,
because if you tolerate something, people are only going to
keep doing, you know, displaying the same behavior. Like you
(01:21:51):
have to you have to let people know you're serious
about it. You don't got to talk to them people, friends, family, whatever,
I don't care if they.
Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
All your blood.
Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
A lot of times, nah, a lot of times you
gotta separate yourself and isolate yourself from family and friends
as well so they understand on all right, Yeah, I
may have done something that she didn't like or I made.
Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
Her feel uncomfortable in some type of way.
Speaker 4 (01:22:11):
Yeah, separates yourself, don't askwer the phone, don't go around
these people. They they're not deserving of your time and
certainly that they're not worth you draining your energy for them,
like no.
Speaker 9 (01:22:22):
True, that's it.
Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
And then if they want to know, why tell them,
tell them you're disrespectful.
Speaker 9 (01:22:28):

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
Yes it'll be made knife Mother's Day weekend. I love Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:30:19):
I love that her and Viola Davis are both starring
in an action film at the same time. It kind
of gives you the feel of like the How To
get Away with Murder and Scandal like Universe or something
like that. Yeah, so I really really love it. Love
seeing black women whom we ain't really ever see doing
action before doing action and.
Speaker 7 (01:30:37):
It was they're good too, Like it's not like where
you can tell us it's stunt double or like yeah,
it's actually good the shot.
Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
Well, you know, it's so interesting about Shonda Rhimes and
Biola Davis. They both had hit shows on network television.
But a lot of times when you talk to a
lot of you know, black people, especially black women, when
they've had those hit shows on network TV, they don't
go on to have like huge success in you anywhere.
A lot of a lot of times, like especially when
you talk to a lot of them from the nineties.
Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
Yeah, they had.
Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
Those big roles, but you didn't really see them do
anything much after that, Like they didn't even get offered anything.
So the fact that you know, uh, Carrie and Viola
still get a lot of work is a testament to them.
Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
But also you know, just I don't know, have time changed,
Like what happened?

positive old people have time change that? But it's not
that I'm asking y'all. I'm just asking.
Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
Myself person when you accept time.
Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Changed that, but you tell us you was here, nigga,
the old time, Oh the positive. Notice simply this, authenticity
and integrity always win.
Speaker 5 (01:32:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
People either accept you or they don't. You keep people
in your life who align with the truth for your
being or they don't. Nothing is lost when you remain honest.
Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
Authenticity filters your life for you. You keep the ones
who are aligned and release the ones who aren't.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It was just me. It flashes, so it was like
it different people.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Operation Green Sox as a nationwide initiative aimed at raising
awareness and promoting financial literacy. If you know what John
O'Brien does in Operation Hope, then you know how they
how they get down.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Lauren, you're finally putting some lotion on.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Thank God, man dropping for lotion, Lauren being around here
looking foggy.
Speaker 3 (01:26):

Speaker 8 (01:31):

Speaker 2 (01:33):

Speaker 1 (01:34):
And then yesterday she had the one shoulder out and
it was just that one shoulder ashy.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It ain't Nobody said nothing all day.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And look, even even Curry watched it was like, oh
you got the little shoulder around.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
She noticed it. That's what she wanted to she wanted
to say something about it. Listen.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I did a date night last night, being the wife
went out. I went to go see uh, Stranger Things
on Broadway. They all watch s Grange of Things on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I used to watch it.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I used to watch Change the Man.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That is the greatest stage play production I've ever seen
in my life. I'm just talking about the production aspect
of it. They did things on that stage I didn't
think you could do really yes, like like falling out
the sky in slow motion, like monsters coming from the.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Ceiling, like a production.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh my god, the stage play production was incredible, dropping
the clues bombs to us.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Scranging Things on Brodway. They only been doing it for
two weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I meant to see that.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yes, yesterday was a Rachel Rachel Edwards a born day.
That's a good friend of mine. So we went to
go see Scranging Things with my wife and oldes daughter
loves Scranging Things. But if you are ever in New
York City, even if you're not a fan of Broadway,
even if you've never even seen the Scrange of Things play,
that is something that I mean, the Strange Things show.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That is something to go watch.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yes, I cannot be a fan of Broadway, like people
don't like I love.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, Well it used to, it.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Got it got like really entertaining for the youth over
the years. At first, Broadway used to be really boring
in my opinion, And then when I saw when I
got like to be a teenager and I saw.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Wicked for the first time, then I was like I
like this.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But I think I was just going to see the
most boring things because we used to go to field trips.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Go on field trip.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
What's the first thing you remember seeing? You know?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
No, it was like a little slave.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Place, you see that.
Speaker 9 (03:18):

Yes, more Dangerous Morning Show, The Emphis Club, Charlamagne Tha God,
just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Dj nvy is out, what lay and Lerosa is in
and it's time for front page news.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Morgan?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Tell y'all, Hey, how y'all feeling happy?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Thursday?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Girl?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Plu's black and Holly favored. What's happening all right, y'all?
Speaker 10 (04:14):
So first up on front page, President Trump says, historically,
black colleges and universities should not be worried about federal
spending cuts. Y'all know, I had to get into the
HBCU news right. So Trump called into a News Nation
town hall event hosted by Chris Cuomo and moderated via
Bill O'Reilly and Stephen A.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Smith last night.
Speaker 10 (04:33):
When asked if HBCUs should be concerned about their funding
considering all of the funding and rollbacks that the Trump
administration is doing, Trump said he took care of the
HBCUs and black colleges and that he got them more
money than they ever dreamt possible.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Let's take a listen to those comments.
Speaker 11 (04:52):
They were going out of business. They came to me
about fifty people that headed up, and they came to
me the first year, and I took care of them.
I got them more money than they ever dreamt possible.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And they're in great shape.
Speaker 11 (05:05):
Now when they have long term financing. Nobody did that
for Donald Trump.
Speaker 10 (05:11):
So under the Trump administration in his first term, he
did sign a bipartisan bill in twenty nineteen that permanently
provides more than two hundred and fifty million a year
to the nation's historically black colleges and universities. If you
were to, I guess sum that up over the course
of four years, but again it was just twenty nineteen.
If you were to sum that up over the course
of four years, that would equate to one billion dollars.
(05:33):
Under the Biden administration it was one point three billion
in funding to HBCUs, whereas under the Obama administration it
was four billion towards HBCUs.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Now last week, well.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
If combined combined, there's actually more than seventeen billion in
federal investments from the Biden Paris administration.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
That's right, that's right, that's right over the Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 10 (05:55):
And then of course last week Trump signed an executive
order that will ensure or HBCUs get the maximum funding
they're entitled to. Now, Trump said during the town hall
that they have a long term financing, and that of
course nobody else did it but him. Now, Lauren, you
went to a HBCU delta card. You shout out to
the hornets. So what do you think of all of
(06:16):
what he is saying.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I don't know how much of what is true, but
I just know whoever's in the president draw office should
make sure that the funding is going because if it
wasn't for federal funding, I would not have graduated from
college at all. So it's very important and that's all
I know. They need the money a lot.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Of it too.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Absolutely, it should be a ticket.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Like it should be.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
If you don't fund HBCUs, we don't support you like
it is a big ticket.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You're not gonna get no push back from me. You know,
you see Donald Trump supporting HBCU. The only thing I
would say is we want more. But you know me
who wouldn't yep.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Period period.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
So Trump addressed recent polling on his approval rating as
saying they were fake polls where Democrats were interviewed. Yeah,
he said democrat. More Democrats were interviewed than GOP members.
When asked about making a deal with Tryina, Trump said,
there is a very good chance, but there will be,
but it will be on the terms of the US
and of course he shrugged off concerns about the economy
(07:08):
and concerns that his policies only benefit the wealthy.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Trump said, he knows what he.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
Is doing is perfectly and that is perfect, and essentially
that his economic approach will be better for the middle class.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, you can't, well you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You can't lie to people because people are gonna feel
it in their pockets regardless. So you know, you can
get on television and you know, say that, but if
people don't feel it in their pockets, they gonna they're
gonna push back. And when people say, you know, when
people are losing jobs, when people can't afford to pay
their bills or they can't afford to put food on
their table, they will push back.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So you can you can't lie to them about that
because they feel it.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Right And speaking of which, the numbers don't lie. So
the new reports have the US economy heading into uncertain
waters this summer, as you have been saying, Charlotta Magne,
the gross domestic product or GDP, which some of the
value of goods and services produce, fell three point fell
three percent over las last year. Growth had originally been
predicted by economists, but outlooks were revised to negative thanks
(08:06):
to the reaction of President Trump's global tariffs. A separate
report from payroll processor ADP showed job creation slow to
sixty two thousand positions last month, about half of what
economists were expecting. So it does appear that we are
heading into a recession and things agatting tight.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And Trump said that this isn't his GDP, this is
Biden's GDP.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
He did, that's not true.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
That's okay, you about this quarterly.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You are the president of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The tariffs and other things you have implemented directly have
impacted America's GDP. You got to own that, you know
what I mean. You can't keep pointing to blame with
other people. You are the person that is governing right now.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
This is you.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Clock is CpG.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
You know how your grandmom be telling you, like keep
money in the mattress and keep guessing your card. What
you're supposed to do right now in preparation for the recession,
Like what's the.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
That's a good stay kit?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I was I was thinking about, you know, just you know,
stocking up on things that you would probably need. But
the reality of the situation is you probably can't afford
to stock up on things you actually need, Like if
you know that there's gonna be a recession this summer,
so you say, hey, you know what, let me stock
up on you know.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Let's just say toothpaste.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You might can't afford to buy three four months of
two pastes just in case.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So I don't know. I'm not an e commiss you
do know we on people can see.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You, right, yeah, makeup real quick? All right, yeah, I
mean I'm in the conversation. We're here.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Nah, he can't he got to hold this when he
is the President of the United States of America. When
Joe Biden left office, the GDP was actually pretty good,
and you know, because of a lot of the things
that Trump is implemented over the first hundred days, it
is not anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
So he got he own that he.

Don't hold nothing. He lied about everything. You know what
they want to overtalk everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You know what's interesting, Uh, you know, we can't act
like any of these tariffs and stuff. Was a surprise
because he said he was going to do this, and
him and Elon must they all said there was going
to be a period of economic pain that everybody was
going to have to go through. I would rather than
just keep saying that as opposed to you know, now
trying to put the blame on on Biden.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
That's weird exactly.
Speaker 14 (18:26):
And he needs to bring that manhole from out Salvador
and bring him home to his family. He knew he
was wrong what he did. If they did that to
his family, he be betting over backwards and stuttering over
his words, trying to get a family hole.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I thought they was trying to bring him.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
They not.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
He said he wasn't doing it.
Speaker 14 (18:44):
And if he told them, he said, he told them
he's not bringing that manhole. He could make a pole
call that.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
He's wanted to, but he's a lot of course, he
can all right, well you got it you good, I
got it. Make sure you got it all out. Thank
you guys, wee you too, Thank you for calling. All right,
that's get it off your chests. We do that every morning.
Speaker 17 (19:09):

latest with Lauren coming up next.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Don't give a damn dish.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Mary's team has not responded to me, but I did
talk to me yesterday and she she watched the segment
that we did and she wanted to clear.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Up some things.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Okay, So we're gonna get into that first thing in
the latest.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
All right, we'll talk about it when we come back.
It's the world's most dangerous morning to show, The Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Club, The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne to God, just hilarious, envious out what Lauren Leroe says,
and it is time for the ladies with Lauren lawn.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Be coming a straight fast?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Did she gets them to somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
She'd be having the latest on.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
The latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Sometimes you have sometimes you have details, sometimes you have
a little bit of everything.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Talk to me, all right, y'all.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
So I told you that he was going to get
something straight when it came to this, me to hill In,
Mary J. Blige, five million dollar LOSSU Ravado?
Speaker 6 (20:26):
All right?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
So I spoke to me to hill In and she
wanted to make clear Charlemagne. You would ask some questions
about why five million dollars? And is Vado even making that?
Speaker 13 (20:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
What I said, was he ever? I said?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Has he ever made that for camra On when he
was signed the camera on? Did he ever make that
for Calid when he was signed with cald What? What
made them project five million dollars for? All right?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Well, before y'all get to that, I didn't want to
say anything yesterday because everybody knew who this name was.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But who is Vado?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Because I thought y'all was mistaken Vito's name Forravado. Vito
was a singer. Don't play with him, put some respect
on it.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
But Noo is really a good singer. Yeah, like you
going viral online, I know that's time. I love you
the singer and Yo, he gonna tank R and B
money album and on it.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
You would enjoy him. But when is a rapper from
New York, you.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Should have pulled some of his old records.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Because I didn't know that Merji bliche had artists, and
I didn't know you that I'll get you a battle song, Okay,
you could listen to.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Actually he has one with Mary J. Blige, which is
we're gonna talk about it, Okay, okay. So according to
Misa Hill, and she says, when you calculated numbers, Botto
was writing for two Mary J. Blige albums as well
as two tours that he was promised that he was
going to go on with her that are now not
happening allegedly.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So Mysa says Mary J.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Blige removed all of this allegedly and the number the
five million dollars is not for her from them in
anticipating album sales and it's not because they were supporting
her label. It's because he's a super creative writer, vocal
producer and ghostwriter. And the song, for instance, that he
has with Mary J. Blige to Still Believe in The
Still Believe In Love song went ten weeks number one
(22:01):
on the chart. So basically she's saying that, like there
were things happening, like he was supposed to be on tour,
which would have equaled bookings, and he has like writings
and different things that he's been doing and what was
doing that he can't do anymore because allegedly Mary Jay
is like, no, because you didn't come over.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
To the side.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I appreciate all that information, but I still don't answer
my questions. Did he ever make five million dollars the Cameron?
Do you have to make five million dollars with Calum?
What made him think he could make five million dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I do agree that if he is stuck in a contract,
that he shouldn't be in anymore, and Mary is the
reason for that.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
To marriage she let him out the contract that I
agree with.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yes, and you know me so also wanted to make
it clear that her and Mary J. Blige and their
friendship of over thirty years that not end or fall
out or wherever it is right now because of Vado,
and she did not follow this lawsuit just because she's
upset that they're no longer friends. To Charlemagne's point, it
was about the business, and it was about the contract
and it wasn't honored. And you know, if it was
(22:52):
the other way around where he had a contract he
was supposed to honor with Mary J. Blige or whatever,
and he did not do that, they could have taken
legal action as well.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So you know that she just wanted to clear it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Saying, it's no permanent friends and enemies when it comes
to business, But what.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
If you are already friends.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It's easy to say that when people you're not really
dealing with, when you're actually friends with a person.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Is it, Yeah, it definitely can mess up. It's difficult relationships.
It's definitely difficult.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
I prefer not to do business with friends with a friend, yeah,
And if I do do it, I'd rather be like
stand off, like maybe I'm just like I don't know something,
because it gets a little tricky. But she also wanted
to clarify the timeline on when they fell out. She
says that she said, it's been a year that they
have not spoken, and again she doesn't really know the
(23:39):
exact reason why, but there's a ton of different things
that have happened within that year. She said, Jess, she
heard you say that you saw them at the strength
of a woman content in twenty four and she wanted
to make it clear. She alleges that during that time,
marriage a Blige wasn't even speaking to her because she released,
you know, a collaboration.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Of her own.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
What's trying to relax.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
It's so much going on, and I didn't realize that
she would talk directly to me while all this is happening,
peopuld be listening.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I think she just wants to clear things up because
even though you.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Realize that they weren't they literally set on the panel together.
But you know what, we don't know what's happening, right.
That's just another example you don't know what people are
really going through behind closed doors.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Because I swear like it seemed.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Like everything was fine, Like they were in the same rooms,
we were behind stage together, and no, Mary not supposed
to be like, oh I don't like that bitch, and
you know me isposed don't like you know it wasn't
given that energy. And these are two women that know
how to govern themselves with or without drama, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
But I tell you who don't give a damn about
none of this Mary Jane.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Okay, you do that video that you sent me yesterday
with Mary and.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Just like sing the damn songs I can get about here.
If you think Mary care about any of this.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Crazy Ryan got nothing from the side I've been trying, y'all,
is Jane.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
No, I don't think that's what I said.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yeah, yeah, let's see with that Jay Sam. I can't
believe we don't know the sh Yeah, I know. I
never thought about it.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Oh no, I never heard nobody ask that before. What
is the j because you know how weezy f he
always he changed the FS for something different every song.
Mary Jane so perfect.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I like that.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Yeah, that is the update there. But yeah, the lawsuit
is still ongoing. But she didn't want to clear up
those few things. Basically, she says, stop playing with you know,
artists and creative charlagage because you don't know what's in
their pockets.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I know it's not, but that's why I'm asking the question.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But you know what, you know what That's why the
bottom Did the guy say anything yet? No, this is
nothing personal. The bottle Bittle has always been a cool,
solid individual. I'm just from business perspective. When I'm thinking
about the business, I think about Cam, I think about Caln.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Did he ever make Cam five million dollars? Did he
ever make Callum five million dollars?
Speaker 13 (25:54):
So?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What would you know make them feel like? What would
why would they project that he could make them?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
For me?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I'm just asking, That's why I'm asking asking questions.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Well, do we have a song, because I'm going to
identify bottle Mary J.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
Blige song that bottle is on.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I may have heard it.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
You hear something you don't even know. You don't put
the name to the face.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
And that's why it sucks to be an artist.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
You've been mentioning a bottle for the last three days,
but not one goddamn record.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Play yeah, and they hae no record?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Let me see you. Well, we don't have nothing.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Just sitting here.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
I didn't mean to do that. Shuts me out. You
want me to scratch scratch too?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
I just sitting here.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Come on, get with it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
We got front page news coming up next with Morgan
Wood just the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
You're checking out the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous Morning to show the
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Charlamagne the God just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Dj Ndia is out with Lauren le Roe says, and
and it's time for front page news with Morgan Woods. Morgan,
what's happening? Can I do two NBA playoff scores first?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Morgan? Okay, that's last night.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
The Rockets beat the Warriors one thirty one to one
sixteen and the Los Angeles Lakers Timberwolves in five. Okay,
the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.
Yesterday Lebron James and Lucas sitting they ass at home,
and I'm laughing my ass off because I don't know
if this.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Was real or now.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But there was a picture of Ronnie James and he
posted missing the beach, and Anthony Edwards Leftacama and said,
I'm about to I'm gonna send you and your daddy
home there early he did Timberwolves in five.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Okay, that is out. Well, we got Morgan all right, y'all.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
So former Vice President Kamala Harris is criticizing President Trump's
tariff policies. In her first major public remarks since leaving
the White House now, Harris delivered a keynote address at
a gala for Emerged America in San Francisco, California, yesterday,
where she said people are describing the recent months as
absolute chaos. She spoke about current leadership, the current administration,
(27:54):
and said that the country belongs to we the people,
not those in power. Let's take a listen to former
Vice President Kamala Harris's comments at Emerged American.
Speaker 18 (28:02):
The American people deserve leaders who make their lives better
and make our country stronger. But sadly, we have seen
quite the opposite over these past few months.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
This country is ours.
Speaker 18 (28:26):
It doesn't belong to whoever.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Is in the White House.
Speaker 18 (28:31):
It belongs to you, It belongs to us, It belongs
to we the people.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
She's absolutely right, absolutely right. But when the media doesn't care,
they don't care. Because I wasn't home yesterday, so I
didn't see any cable news. But was that speech ad anywhere?
I think, I don't believe that I see it on
social media.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I see it on cable news.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Her first bee since I was like, oh, what did.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I remember you telling us it was gonna happen. Morgan, Yeah, no,
no it was not.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
It was not televised, but so yeah, I did have
to go looking for it. So what you're saying is
that that's something that more people should have saw, more
people should have heard when the.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Media don't care, they don't care because I did not
see that speech nowhere, and it sounded like it was
a good speech.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm gonna watch it in full later.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
So yeah, the former VP, she did say that the
tariffs that Trump has imposed are clearly inviting a recession,
referring to what she now calls the greatest man made
economic crisis in modern presidential history. Now elsewhere or meanwhile,
on Capitol Hill, yesterday I was out there. Democratic lawmakers
gathered for remarks on the steps of the US Capitol
(29:40):
for an event that marked Trump's one hundred days of
what they call chaos.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Now.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke alongside House Minority Leader
King Jeffries. Georgia Senator Rafael Warnock, Delaware Senator Lisa Rochester,
and others also spoke. Let's take a listen to Georgia
Senator Rafael Warnock's comments.
Speaker 17 (30:00):
This is the worst first one hundred days that this
country is seen in a very very long time. And
so know that as we fight on the inside, we
need you to fight on the outside, and we will
prove once again that this is the United States of America.
And at the end of the day, it's the people
(30:20):
who have the last word.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
So, Delaware Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is only one
of two black senators, Okay, real quick, just you know,
plugs that real quick in the Senate.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
And the other one is here in Maryland. Hey, hey,
also Brooks.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
So Lisa, Delaware Senator Lisa bent Rochester said that she
has a message for Republicans across the aisle, and here's
what she had to say in her comments on the steps.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
When I first came in, the word was unprecedented.
Speaker 13 (30:48):
But now the words are uncertain, chaotic, confused, and corrupt.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Those are the words. And so to our colleagues on.
Speaker 13 (30:59):
The other side of the aisle, I say, on this
one hundred and first day, there is an adage the
truth shall set you free, the truth shall shut you free.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
Yeah, so what do you guys think the first one
hundred days? It seems like the country is still divided
more divided than ever. And is it more of the
same as you're seeing from Dems or do you actually
see that there is some there is some galvanizing, there's
some fight there.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
What do you think, Chug May No, I.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Still don't see no galvanizing and I still don't see
no fight. But the reality also is, man, you know,
we don't have time for division. And the reason we
don't have time for division right now is because this
is America. Regardless of who's in the White House, everything
that's happening, Uh, you know, everything that's happening in regard
to this administration is going to impact all American people.
When the shelves are empty, it don't matter if you
Democrat are Republican. You know, when people are losing their
(31:51):
jobs and the economy is bad, it don't matter if
you Democrat are Republican.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Everybody is going to suffer. So you know, y'all can
sit there and keep you.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
No pointing the finger and saying, oh are you Democrat Republican?
But at the end of the day, if everybody broke,
that's going that's what's really gonna matter.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
You know who kind of just said that about one
hundred days Nelly what Nelly said. He just said he
looking at the glasses half full. He's trying to stay positive.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
So it's kind of I don't even know why you
bought Nelly into the conversation.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Because I saw it this morning and I was like,
it's luten.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Nelly, But I have no idea because he has no
idea what Nelly was on Fox News.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
He gave a comment to Fox News and he said
he's looking at the glasses half fool because that's the
type of guy he is, and he's staying positive.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you really don't have no choice.
You really don't have no choice but to remain optimistic.
But you still got to deal with the reality of life,
you know what I mean. And the reality of life
is I don't care what your political party is when
your economy's back period.
Speaker 10 (32:42):
All right, Well, let me just get into my last
story real quick. Elon Musk may be stepping away from
the Trump administration. There's no official announcement that he made,
but yesterday during the cabinet meeting, he did indicate that
it was an honor to serve. He tout it finding
one hundred sixty billion dollars of government waste and predicted
more accomplishments for the White House moving forward. Also keeping
(33:03):
in mind that he is just a special government employee,
so his days are numbered anyway, he was only allotted
one hundred and thirty days. Now, Trump told Musk it's
unfair that he's been treated the way that he has,
and must responded, well, they do like to burn my cars,
which is not great. And that's a reference to the
ongoing acts of vandalism involving Tesla vehicles.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Of course, he has s did to take.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
Quite a loss as being involved with this administration through Tesla,
not so much the used ones.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
But you know, this is not a good look.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
So if you did find all his money in ways,
what they're gonna do with the money? Remember remember remember
when they was touting those five thousand dollars stimulus checks
they was going to give the people if they found
more ways, So what's up?
Speaker 10 (33:42):
I believe that all of this is going to go
into the efforts of that supposed Well, this is what
they're saying, at least, this is what Dems are saying,
is that these tax breaks and all this money that
you know, he's supposedly finding, it's going to be lying
in the pockets of his billionaire buddies, or at least
that's what the Dems are.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I want to say something about the media again.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Media has not been mentioning Elon Musk like that in
recent weeks. Elon Musk, you know, hasn't even been seeking
media like that. You haven't really seen them tweets. He
was making all that noise with Doge earlier, and then
it started impacting his business.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I was gonna say, his pocket and now.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That's right, Yeah, that's right, that's right. Now, he didn't win,
thought he was exempt. Thought was that's right?
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Oh you thought I was fooling you? Okay, anyways, sorry,
all right, y'all. That's your front face News.

Speaker 3 (34:38):

Speaker 1 (34:40):
When we come back the Icon Living, Carrie Washington will
be joining us. She's got a new movie out called
Shadow Force. It will be in Thetis Made Knife and
we're going to talk to her next on the World's
Most Dangerous Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
To Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (34:56):
Warning everybody you see J n V, Jesse Larris, the
guy we at the breakfast club.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
We got a special guest in the building, the Icon
living Kerry Washington here. How are you kidding?
Speaker 9 (35:06):
Good?
Speaker 6 (35:06):
I'm happy to be here. Always good when I'm.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
With you all.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yeah, what's your energy like this morning?
Speaker 20 (35:10):
I feel good, I feel centered, I feel grateful. Yeah,
I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Do you have an attention this morning? When you will go?
Speaker 20 (35:17):
I didn't state an intention when I woke up this morning,
but I woke up with a lot of gratitude.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Amazing, Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
What's the gratitude for?
Speaker 13 (35:25):
You know?
Speaker 20 (35:26):
I feel like this is going to sound so cliche,
but I'm very aware lately. Maybe I'm trying to cultivate
more awareness lately that as much as things are challenging
in the world, Like I feel like the circumstances in
the world are tough at the moment for a lot
of people, but also two things can be true. There's
so much of my life that is truly answered prayers,
(35:49):
Like I know when I wake up that the career
I have, my marriage, my children, my health, that like
I am living, I'm walking in prayers answered it.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
This is a time for I mean, it always never
a time, but I want people to return back to
God in this moment. I really because if you are
a person of faith and you got to believe, everything
truly does happen for a greater good, right, or at
least for some reason that we may not understand.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
I do believe that I do. I think that.
Speaker 20 (36:17):
I try to remember though, also that that faith is
not just about being like handing your power over that.
For me, faith is about listening for God's will, which
is also pointing me in the right direction toward action.
Right Like faith is not just about like sitting back
and saying like other people will do or somebody else
(36:37):
will provide.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
It's also about like, how can you use me today?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Lord?
Speaker 13 (36:40):
Right?
Speaker 20 (36:40):
How can I be of service today? How can I
show up? Because faith isn't just about being inactive, It's
about like really stepping into your purpose. You're calling your
responsibility action?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Is that your word for this season? Since you're in shadow?
For I do you know?
Speaker 6 (36:57):
It's funny?
Speaker 20 (36:58):
I feel like the last time I was here may
have been to talk about my memoir Thicker than Water,
And it was when I was writing Thicker than Water,
I was making this movie, and so there was like
an awareness of a strength that was growing in my life,
like an emotional strength, a spiritual strength.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
With my family.
Speaker 20 (37:15):
And I feel like the film allowed me to put
that in my body, like in my cells, to be like,
what does fierceness really look like feel like on me?
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Not that I know that.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
Thinking about back to that conversation, I can I've seen
a movie, so I can kind of see what you're
talking about. Yeah, but did you ever think that you'll
be taking on because this is your first action film,
you'd be taking on action in your career in a
role like this.
Speaker 20 (37:37):
So, I mean, I'm just gonna be honest with you.
I did an action film twenty years ago. I was
Angelina Julie's best friend and mister Missus Smith and I
got to like climb that mountain with Angelina and shoot
some guns, and I was like.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I love this.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
I loved it.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Oh, so you loved it. But I never had a chance.
Speaker 20 (37:56):
Yeah until I then, I like, my career kind of
took a different turn, and I was doing drama and
TV and movies and comedy, but I'd never had a
chance to do action again, and I really wanted to,
so my production company, Simpson Street. When Scandal ended, I
was like, we need to find a great action film,
and when I read this one, I was like, this
is it because I feel like my favorite action films
(38:16):
are the ones where you know why the explosions are
happening right where you care about the characters, where there
are real emotional stakes, and so I felt like to
have a big This film is like a crazy, big ass,
splashy action adventure.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
But at its heart, it's about love.
Speaker 20 (38:32):
It's about family, It's about the sacrifices you make for
the people that you love the most. It's about what
it means to be a parent, and I think most
parents know what it feels like to be like I
would go to the ends of the earth to protect
this child.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
But if you are a trained mercenary.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
Like my character and they kill people for a living,
what does that look like to really do whatever it
takes to protect your little black boy Joy? Yea, what
was the training at this point in your career for
this action film versus that first action film.
Speaker 20 (38:59):
I don't even remember for the training for that one,
And you know, maybe because I'm older or just it
was so new for me.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
But this was intense.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
It was great.
Speaker 20 (39:06):
I mean there was a lot of just weightlifting and
pilates even just to get in shape to be able
to learn the choreography. And then there was stunt training
and weapons training because we're not just shooting guns where
loading guns, were cleaning guns, where there was the fight choreography.
I mean it was hours and hours of training.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Is you know a bus your gun before? No?
Speaker 6 (39:24):
I did.
Speaker 20 (39:25):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I had done a little bit,
but I really and on all different kinds of guns
and I'm a really good shot.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Did to make you want to own one?
Speaker 20 (39:33):
It didn't make me want to own one, but it
made me grateful that I could use it if I
needed to.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Definitely, Yeah, was that ever challenging? What part of it
was ever challenging?
Speaker 20 (39:41):
The shooting was not challenging. Weirdly, it was weird like
that it came. I mean, I have a one of
our targets that I'm framing for my office that I
got like a bullet in each eye, like crazy. I
don't know why I'm such a good shot, but I'm
I'm not complaining. I think the physical, like learning the
martial arts, especially because a a lot of my fights.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
Were with people much bigger than me.
Speaker 20 (40:02):
So to learn how to fight Omarci, who plays my
husband in the film, who's the actor of many of
You may love him from Lupin or Lupin if you're
saying it the French way, but he's so much taller
than me, and so to figure out, like what is
my fight approach to be able to take him on
was fun.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Hard, I'll be honest with you, sounds very tiring, like
what would the recovery process likes.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
A press while you're yeah at all, But I loved it.
I mean, it's it was.
Speaker 20 (40:29):
It was useful to have a husband at the you know,
my husband who was a former professional athlete, to be
able to kind of help me through some of that.
Speaker 6 (40:37):
But I love that.
Speaker 20 (40:38):
I love challenging myself physically, and I love working out.
I love getting into the body of the character. So
it was exhausting, but I.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Also felt, I don't know, I was really proud.
Speaker 20 (40:47):
That when my kids would get up on a Saturday morning,
they would come downstairs and see mommy like with the
boxing gloves on, kicking ass and the driveway with my trainer,
Like there was something really exciting about that.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
The role, like this help you to express your shadow
side war.
Speaker 6 (41:00):
I think so.
Speaker 20 (41:01):
I definitely like i've I think my go to personality.
I'm much more of a lover than a fighter. I'm
not a person who likes to argue. I'm not really combative.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
I'm not.
Speaker 20 (41:11):
I'm not avoidant, but I'm definitely not an aggressive person.
So this did help me tap into a level of
anger and aggression and courage more than anything.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Ooh, courage. That's by courage.
Speaker 20 (41:25):
Because I think when you put yourself in situations where
you can get hurt, it requires you to face those
fears and you know the It's funny. I was talking
to Omar because he's French and our word courage comes
from the French word kul, which means heart. So it's
really about like having a strong heart, a capacity to
(41:49):
challenge your heart.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
That's interesting because I was thinking about something earlier, like
what do you think your characters have taught you that
no human being our real life ever.
Speaker 20 (42:02):
I mean, I'm lucky because every time I play a character,
I get to learn her greatest lessons. So it's almost
like reincarnation in this lifetime, like I get to learn
what she learns and then fold it into my life
to move forward. A lot of times, what characters remind me,
they remind me to be grateful, you know, Like for
this film in Shadow Force, it's really about what it
(42:26):
takes to protect the people you love from the systems
that want to cause you harm, which I think is
very relevant right now. But this couple, they used to
be part of this spy unit. You know, they were
trained killers together, they broke the rules, they fell in love.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
I got pregnant.
Speaker 20 (42:40):
So now we have to go on the run to
protect our kid from the very unit that we used
to be a part of, the Shadow Force unit. So
for me, the film is about, like, when there are
systems that don't want you to have freedom and love
and joy, what do you do to fight those systems?
And I think that's a great lesson to be reminded
of right now. It's a great question for all of
us to be asking ourselves right now. You know, Like
(43:01):
I too, as a mom, want to protect my black
boy joy. I want my son to hold onto his
joy in the face of a world that may not
be invested in his liberty and strength. And so that
for the film, the film was a great reminder.
Speaker 6 (43:15):
Also these two mercenaries. You know, they have to separate.
Speaker 20 (43:18):
I kind of back off from the family to try
to protect them from Afar, and Omar plays the dad.
Speaker 6 (43:24):
It's this beautiful.
Speaker 20 (43:25):
It's such a perfect date movie because the action is
beast but Omar also plays He's doing the primary parenting
of the dad, and that image of a black father
who's so like locked in and present is so beautiful
in a film. But part of what they learn is
about partnership. Like, if you're lucky enough to have a
partner in parenting, you are so much stronger when you
(43:46):
lean into that partnership. And in that partner could be
your spouse, it could be your sister, it could be
your mother, it could be your stepdad, it could be
whoever is part of that village. But leaning into that
partnership in parenting.
Speaker 6 (43:57):
Is also a gift.
Speaker 20 (43:58):
So I think I walked away from the film so
grateful for my partner, for my kids, for our safety,
for our willingness to fight for our joy no matter
what's happening in the world.
Speaker 19 (44:07):
Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington when we come back,
don't move.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (44:11):
Good morning, everybody, It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the
Guy we Are the Breakfast Club. Lauren la Roast is
here as well. Was still kicking it with Carrie Washington.
Speaker 7 (44:21):
Lauren the first scene that stood out to me where
I was like, I think this is what I'm feeling.
I'm feeling like she's fighting the fact that like this
is a good man and he loves your son and
you as much as you think he does.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Just let him do it.
Speaker 7 (44:34):
Oh, you got it, girl. Y'all were at the gun
range and.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Don't don't give no damn more.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
Okay, Yeah, yeah, y'all and y'all y'all had the back
and forth there, yeah, and you left and his shot
was perfect, and I was like, man, it talked about
a lot about how men have to sacrifice in family
and relationship versus how women have to do it and how.
Speaker 12 (44:54):
We feel it.
Speaker 20 (44:55):
Yes, and now we come together because you really kind
of twisted the gender norms in this film where the
woman is out there working protecting from Afar, trying to
you know, not just bring home the bacon, like bring
home the dead bodies to protect this family. But he's
even though he's badass and strong, he's also like the
more sensitive parents.
Speaker 6 (45:11):
He's like really present.
Speaker 20 (45:13):
I was talking to my girlfriends, like, to me, there
is nothing sexier than watching a man be a good dad.
Speaker 6 (45:17):
It is just like so beautiful.
Speaker 20 (45:19):
So I just love that we're kind of playing in
those gender norms and asking people to challenge your idea
of even what family looks like today.
Speaker 7 (45:27):
Did that cause any conversations for you at home with
your family of like, Okay, here are some things that
you know I want to I don't know, let you do.
Let you I'm gonna I'm gonna lean and allow you
to do. Because that was like the biggest thing is.
Speaker 20 (45:39):
Like, yeah, I don't know that the film caused me
to have those conversations in my marriage. But I think
one of the reasons why the film really resonated for
me is because I do really understand the value of
the partnership that I can and I really do have.
You know, I love parenting with my husband. You know,
I love our marriage and I love how we are
(45:59):
a team with these kids, and both are really important.
Like to cultivate the time to just be a couple
and then to cultivate the time to pour into the
family too.
Speaker 6 (46:09):
All of that is just so important.
Speaker 20 (46:10):
So when I read the script, I was like, Oh,
this just feels so good to see black love portrayed
in this way black power like they are so badass,
but also to see black love sort of explored in
this way.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
You play so many different roles, like when you go home,
how do you remain rooted?
Speaker 3 (46:29):
And who Carrie Washington is.
Speaker 20 (46:30):
Yeah, I have rituals that I do at the end
of the day, like a lot of times, you know,
a lot of times I'll play a character, for example,
who's married to somebody else, right, And so for me,
when I take off my wedding ring and put it
back on at the beginning of the end of the day,
that's a small ritual.
Speaker 6 (46:45):
That grounds me and who I am.
Speaker 20 (46:47):
So it's such a big part of who I am
and how I walk in the world. And I just
I have like ways that I close out the day
because in the beginning of my career I used to
try to live in these characters all day long. But
when you get married and have kids, You're like, I
don't need to go home and be sharing my shadow
self with people that don't.
Speaker 6 (47:04):
Deserve that or need that. So I try to.
Speaker 20 (47:06):
Really create containers you know, some of that has to
do with the hair and the makeup. When I take
off the costume, I just try to leave what needs
to be left there. It's not always perfect. There's you know,
I'm a person who thinks a lot about the work
even when I'm not at work. But I do try
to make sure that I'm as present as I can
be with my family because they deserve that.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Have you ever bought a home and called you?
Speaker 5 (47:27):
You mane?
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Their own name?
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Characters?
Speaker 3 (47:30):
The characters now, yes, Olivia.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
No, no, okay no no no.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
I feel like I got to say gradulations to you too,
because the six Triple Late received the Congressional Medal.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Yes, honor.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
I feel I feel like the Netflix series, Nicole Avon
and Tyler Perry, I feel like that amplified that story.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
That was our goal.
Speaker 20 (47:53):
You know, when when Tyler and Nicole came to me
with that project.
Speaker 6 (47:56):
It was so clear to us that this story.
Speaker 20 (47:59):
Needed to be told because these women needed to be celebrated,
and that the most important thing was that we made
a movie that really resonated with people so that no
one would ever forget these women existed and what they did,
the sacrifices they made for this country and the courage
they had to do what they did. So the fact
that it like broke records, it was Tyler's biggest film
ever on Netflix, that fifty million people watched it in
(48:21):
the first few months, Like it was just an insane
success for the platform. And I'm really proud of that
because what that says to me is that at a
time when our history is so under attack, that that
is a story that cannot be taken away from us,
and that we understand our role to do good and
to make the world a better place, and that that
has been a part of the history of this country forever.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
That feels psychologically to see the same administration has taken
so much from us to also reward the six triple late.
Speaker 20 (48:53):
I don't know if it was this administration that made
that decision or if it happened prior to I just
ought to speak at yeah, yeah, yeah, But I would
just say, whoever gives them their flowers, they deserve their flowers.
It doesn't make me say that the other decisions they're
making are okay, right, Like they don't get a pass
because they've done this one thing. These women deserve to
be honored and celebrated despite whoever is in power at
(49:15):
any time, and.
Speaker 7 (49:16):
Then the NAACP Image of work moments. But thank you
to Tyler Perry. Congratulations, I'll Standing Actress in a Motion
Picture for us, and.
Speaker 20 (49:24):
Then we also won Best Picture, which was so proud
as an executive producer of that film.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Yeah, the movie was perfectly cast. It to oh my god,
all those girls.
Speaker 6 (49:37):
It was.
Speaker 20 (49:38):
As a producer, I was really proud to be introducing
all of that young talent, all those incredible young black
actresses to the world.
Speaker 6 (49:44):
They were so.
Speaker 20 (49:44):
Amazing and in shadow force too. I mean Jalil As
a producer, when we audition Omar and I auditioned Julia,
who plays our son in the film, I mean, he
like steals the movie. He's so adorable and lovable and
he has to be right because every explosion, every kick,
every punch is for him, so you have to fall
in love with him, and he's so good. And then
method Man's in the film to find Joy. We were
(50:06):
lucky we got her before her fancy Oscar. But the
cast is incredible. It's stacked.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
I love Yeah, Graduat.
Speaker 7 (50:15):
I wanted to ask you when the NAACP Image of
word moment happened where you think Tyler Perry again, and
then he posted online talking about how that brought him
to tears. Y'all talked after. I'm sure was it an
emotional conversation.
Speaker 20 (50:26):
It was because again, like we don't you know, we
had just made this film to give flowers to eight
hundred and fifty two women in heaven and three who
were still with us, to honor their sacrifice and their service.
And he was like, I'm so grateful that you take
that you took the time to give me my flowers
(50:48):
now right, we can't wait for people to go to
say how great they are. We need to let people
know in the real And I didn't. I just didn't
know that I had thanked him twice.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Going throughause, I blacked out.
Speaker 20 (50:59):
I really really did not think I was gonna win.
Like I told Nandi to stay home, like you gotta
come to this baby, Like I knew. I knew that
Cynthia Rivo was winning that award or she was nominated
for an Oscar. I'm such a crazy, wicked fan, like
I voted for Cynthia, so it was amazing. I really
was shocked, Like like Beyonce Album of the year, shocked,
like just couldn't believe that that had happened. Yeah, and
(51:21):
then when I got up on stage, I blacked out,
so I didn't remember having said him And the idea
when I was walking off stage that I may not
have said his name was so devastating to me.
Speaker 6 (51:29):
I just blew up the whole show.
Speaker 5 (51:31):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
I love that level of gratitude, you know what I mean,
because I feel like a lot of people who don't
do that. Why was that so important for you to
do in that moment? Like I have to make sure
I think that.
Speaker 20 (51:39):
I think because Tyler's been such a support for me
throughout my career. Like at a time earlier in my
career where I was like I'm done acting, I don't
think I want to do this anymore, he called me
to be in for Colored Girls Beautiful film, and I
got to work with so many of my heroes, Whoopi
Goldberg and Felicia Rashad and Loretta Devine and Janet Jackson
and Anica Noni Rose a young Tessa Thompson. Like he's
(51:59):
been there for me even when I've struggled, like in
my career with Paparazzi and fame. He's provided safe spaces
for me. He's a confidant, he's an advisor, he's a
real friend. And to come to me with this role,
I just thought this was an extraordinary gift to be
able to play Captain Charity Adams, a woman who was
so inspiring and so heroic. It really felt like the
(52:19):
gift of a lifetime to be asked to step into
this process with him and co produce with him.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
So I want.
Speaker 6 (52:24):
I just it was. I couldn't imagine not thinking him.
Speaker 19 (52:27):
Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington when we come back,
don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good Morning.
Speaker 5 (52:32):
Wanting everybody.
Speaker 19 (52:32):
It's theej Envy, Jesse, Larius Charlomagne, the guy we are
to Breakfast Club. Lorn La Ross here as well, was
still kicking it with Kerrie Washington Charlomagne.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
But what are the biggest lessons you've learned as a
producer as opposed to things you learned as a as
a fad actor.
Speaker 6 (52:49):
I guess the thing I love most about producing is
when you're.
Speaker 20 (52:53):
An actor, you really are sitting around waiting for somebody
else to give you an opportunity to do what you
love to do right, Like you're like, please, somebody hire me,
somebody invite me to your party, Like I just want
to play, I want to hang out.
Speaker 6 (53:03):
I want a seat at the table.
Speaker 20 (53:05):
But when you're a producer, it's that thing of like
if you don't have a seat at the table, build
your own table. Like I get to build my own
table now, and because it's my table, it's the table
I know I want to be at and I do
not build a table for one. So to have a
table where I know thousands of people are getting to
work and to pursue excellence and chase their dreams because
of what we're doing at Simpson Street, that's such a gift.
(53:26):
So I think as a producer again, it's really about
like how can I be of service, not just to
find the projects that I want to do and tell
the stories I want to tell for me, but also like,
I'm so proud of our show Reasonable Doubt, which we're
shooting in Atlanta right now, season.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
Three, Desperate Housewives, Yeah I make Yeah, So.
Speaker 20 (53:40):
We're really like we are creating lots of opportunities not
just for me but for other people, and that I
love to be of service.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
I was going to ask how do you pick what
you get involved in or choose to do.
Speaker 7 (53:49):
Because the Desperate Housewives spin off, it's like twenty years later. Yeah,
were you a fan of the show or like, how what's.
Speaker 20 (53:55):
The fact I love the show. I'm a huge fan
of the show and that showrunner Mark Cherry. I just
I thought it's just a great time. Like some of
the issues of that show, the idea of like living
a life of perfection where everything looks good, but underneath
there are secrets and desires and complexities that we're not
talking about. Like that still resonates. So I thought this
(54:17):
was a good time to to think about how would
that show exist now? Who would be in that cul
de sac now? Because it looks different now than it
did twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (54:26):
I see people were not happy about that, though I
saw some backlash. It was like, we don't want a
new cast. I think they're trying to say we don't
want to adversity. I think that's what it really says.
Speaker 7 (54:34):
I was thinking, I mean, some black neighbors, we'll see,
we'll see.
Speaker 3 (54:39):
How do you even when you hear stuff like that,
does it deter you in any way?
Speaker 8 (54:42):
Like?
Speaker 3 (54:42):
Is that a project? I want to touch.
Speaker 20 (54:43):
I'm open to feedback. I think it's important to have
your ear open to criticism. But I try to only
give real power to people who are in the game
right like I don't. I don't really take criticism to
heart from people who I don't admire and respect.
Speaker 7 (54:59):
Dang, you you're from outside.
Speaker 20 (55:05):
I have to like you and like how you're living
and right you're doing and what you're creating to feel
like you have a say on what I do.
Speaker 6 (55:15):
But I'm very open. I'm a very collaborative person. I'm
very open to feedback.
Speaker 20 (55:19):
I love getting like I love directors who challenge me,
who make me be better, who ask tough questions.
Speaker 6 (55:24):
You just have to be careful with your energy and
not give it to haters.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
So just the random folks on social media you like whatever,
No I mean you.
Speaker 6 (55:32):
I again, I think you have to stay aware.
Speaker 20 (55:34):
I think anytime you just dismiss human beings is that's
not healthy because everybody matters. Everybody's a child of God,
People's voices matter, people count. But you just have to
For me, as I'm weighing input, I have to make
sure that I don't give my power away.
Speaker 1 (55:50):
Question when when you were doing scandal, right, Yeah, the
scandal seemed very absurd.
Speaker 3 (55:54):
You think about the government.
Speaker 1 (55:56):
When you look at the government now, you like, what
like shann couldn't even it's wild.
Speaker 3 (56:02):
What would do right now if she was part of
his government.
Speaker 20 (56:05):
Which I don't think she would be part of this government.
I don't think she would have you know, she wouldn't
serve this administration.
Speaker 3 (56:12):
Even to be a spool who sat by the door
like the that's.
Speaker 20 (56:15):
An interesting twist. Maybe Shonda would write that kind of version.
Speaker 6 (56:19):
Yeah, I don't. I really this administration is.
Speaker 20 (56:22):
Beyond what I can wrap my head around right now,
and so I'm really really trying to pivot my focus
on most days to how each of us can show
up to participate in this process in ways that really matters,
because I think we got here because too many people
feel like they don't matter, like their voices didn't matter.
(56:44):
I think if more people understood the power of their vote,
we wouldn't be where we are.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
When did you first realize people were watching you not
just as an actress, but as an as a leader.
Speaker 6 (56:56):
Oh that's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 20 (57:00):
I think I've always been a little bit of a
you know, I started my activism work when I was
a teenager. So I've always been a person who's kind
of been an artist but also tried to be of service.
Speaker 6 (57:12):
But I don't know.
Speaker 8 (57:13):
I don't, I don't.
Speaker 6 (57:13):
I mean, even as you said it, I was like, oh,
I guess people do think of me as a leader,
but I don't. That's not first in my mind. I
don't think about it in those terms. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (57:22):
Interesting, I would say, even politically like people they I
don't know your character of course because of you know,
living Pope, but even politically like people look to you
to see like who you're talking about, why you're talking about,
on what you're doing, what you're not doing. You got
off an X at one point, I did, Yeah you
took a break. I saw you post that as well.
Are you back now?
Speaker 3 (57:42):
No?
Speaker 6 (57:42):
No, no, no, right no.
Speaker 7 (57:45):
But it's a synonymous with Olivia popeen who you know
what I mean? The whole Scan show and.
Speaker 6 (57:49):
That was Twitter.
Speaker 20 (57:50):
Yeah, that was an ex. Twitter was made our show.
Part of what it was the culture on Twitter and
black Twitter. But X is a different place now. The
neighborhood has changed. I don't want to live there. I'm
not in that neighborhood anymore. I don't agree with the leadership.
You want to talk about leadership like, I don't agree
with the leadership there. I don't agree with how the
conversations are happening.
Speaker 6 (58:10):
It's not okay.
Speaker 20 (58:12):
It's not as safe a place as it used to be,
and it was never entirely safe, but now it's like
the wild West, and there's a lot of misinformation, and
so I don't want to be at that party.
Speaker 1 (58:22):
I'm glad you use the word safe because you don't
seem to play it safe, but you have this like
huge career. A lot of people in Hollywood want to
play it safe because they don't want to impact, you know,
their career.
Speaker 3 (58:32):
Why do you take that? I guess risk is the work.
Speaker 20 (58:35):
It's interesting because I even at my company, when we
talk about culture within the company at Simpson Street, we
often don't say, like we want to make sure this
is a safe space. We try to say, we want
to make sure this is a brave space, because it's
not about safety. It's about truth and having the courage,
being brave to say the things that need to be
said so that you can move everybody forward. Safe is
(58:55):
about like tiptoeing eggshells, working around people. It's like, no, no, no, no, no,
be real, Let's tell the truth, Let's be kind. But
I think clear is kind.
Speaker 3 (59:04):
What was there a brave story you want to tell
right now?
Speaker 1 (59:08):
Especially being like I said, they keep they're taking a
lot of things from it. So I feel like art
is going to be the only way to educate and inform.
Speaker 20 (59:15):
I was just at the Brooklyn Artists Ball last night
at the Brooklyn Museum and they were honoring Darren Walker,
who's an incredible leader, and he was saying that artists
hold such important meaning in the culture right now because
artists are like a mirror.
Speaker 6 (59:28):
Up to society.
Speaker 20 (59:29):
I'm really proud of Shadow for us. I really I
love this film. I feel like theaters are back, Like
I'm so excited about Sinners. I'm obsessed with that film
is so beautiful. I feel like this is another like
really exciting film to see in theaters because the locations
are gorgeous and it's not a lot of cgi Like
this is real people doing real stunts, putting our bodies
at risk. I'm excited to be in community with people
(59:52):
telling stories about the power of black family and black love.
And black parenting and black kids and and commit unity,
you know.
Speaker 6 (01:00:01):
Yeah, and then I'm starting a series Simpsons.
Speaker 20 (01:00:03):
Treet is producing a new series for Apple called Imperfect
Women that we start in a couple of weeks. We're
filming in LA So I'm really excited about that project
to us with Lizzie Moss from Handmaid's Tale, and that's
also really about like truth, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
And booked and busy trying. I love that.
Speaker 20 (01:00:20):
And I'm excited that we're shooting in LA you know,
because we need that after the fires. There's we really
need for more production to be happening in Los Angeles.
So I just finished doing a film there and now
we're starting this series.
Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Are you reprising your role as Alicia Masters? And fantastic film.
Speaker 6 (01:00:34):
I haven't been invited to.
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Manifestation, but you can put that out there.
Speaker 6 (01:00:41):
I do want to do more action films.
Speaker 20 (01:00:43):
I really feel like doing Shadow Force was so fun,
and I think it's exciting to work in that way,
to be to take on strength, not just intellectually and
emotionally and spiritually, but physically.
Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Got well. Thank you, Queen Carry Washington.
Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Always a pleasure when you pull up Shadow Forces in theaters.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Yes, my son, Yes, yes, it's the world's most dangerous
morning to show the Breakfast Club charlamagnea god, just hilarious,
envious out But Lauren La Rosas and I got to
shoot salute my guy, Abby the sandwich specialist from Newark,
New Jersey. He's up here providing us a breakfast sandwiches
this morning. Man, I told you about the good ass
salmon burger I had, Yes you did. Yes, so Abby
(01:01:38):
came up here.
Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
I can't wait to sank my team into one of
them sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Okay, So Lauren Herry, what the latest we can eat?
Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
I got you.
Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Lauren be coming a straight fast. She gets them from
somebody that knows somebody get the detail.
Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
She'd be having the latest on you.
Speaker 5 (01:01:57):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa fact.
Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Sometimes we have detailed, sometimes you have a little bit.
Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
Every time. Leader on the Breakfast Clubs talk to me.
Speaker 7 (01:02:06):
So last night the twenty second NBA season ended, Lebron
James and Lakers took a loss to the Timberwolves.
Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
Three tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Lakers, Shakers, Breakers, Takers tem.
Speaker 7 (01:02:21):
Well this morning at following that game, hashtag he is
forty has been trending.
Speaker 9 (01:02:27):
Now.
Speaker 7 (01:02:27):
This has been trending because that is Lebron James's age,
and every time the NBA season ends, Lebron James talks
about what his future is going to look like. This
time around, he said last night that he is undecided
when it comes to retirement or not. So people are
just going back and forth about whether he should retire
(01:02:47):
because I know he said before that he was just
waiting to be able to play a year or a
season with his son. Now he's been able to play
lebrony and people are like, hey, I think he you know,
maybe he should sit down. He's still looking good, but
maybe he shouldn't. People are going back and forth, Charlotte,
what you think?
Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
What I mean? I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
I mean Lebron can still play. I mean for me,
it's put it like this, I'm forty six years old.
I've been watching Lebron play what twenty one to twenty
two seasons. Now I've seen more. I've seen more of
what I saw yesterday. Like you know, I guess heartbreak
than I have him at the top. And it's not
fair to say, because you know, I watched Michael Jordan
(01:03:22):
for thirteen years. Half of that he won championships. I
watched Maggic Johnson for thirteen years. Half of that he
was winning championships. Lebron has played.
Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
Much, much, much, much, much much longer.
Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
But I've seen him lose a lot, and I've seen
a lot of people eat on his watch. Still, you know,
top five greatest NBA player of all time, but I've
seen a lot of people eat on his watch.
Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
So I don't know what he still has to prove
at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
Maybe he's still trying to chase that because he doesn't
like that kind of conversation. Maybe he's still trying to
chase some of those people I just named. But I
don't think he has anything to prove. But I mean,
I can't sit here and say he should retire because
his game. Don't say that at all.
Speaker 7 (01:03:58):
A lot of the articles last night it out and
I think some of these injuries are common just with
the game. But a lot of them pointed out last
night that he was limping out of the Crypto arena.
His left leg was swollen from a needy leede collision.
Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Here you wake up limping for no goddamn reason, okay,
and have to run up and down the corn.
Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
Like French or something stretching. I've seen it, crazy Yilli.
Even Charlamune coming in this money every morning, be like.
Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
I came out, Yes, he'd be doing that.
Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
I thought it was because he was on a spectrum
and didn't tell us. Thought it was a little remedia
at first.
Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
But no, it's literally is about to be fifty that's true.
Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
Well, if if Lebron James does opt into his option,
which he has to do by June twenty ninth, or
he becomes a free agent, he can return to the
Lakers for twenty six and it'll be worth fifty two
point six million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
If he does play for another year, I personally would
like to see him going back to Cleveland for his
last year and have his victory lap tour. And Cleveland
got a really good team, so you know, you never know,
like Cleveland got a really great team, right, like the
know that I don't know if they don't win the
championship this year, maybe somebody like Lebron can go there
and help get them over the top. And it's easy
to He'll be a free agency, they won't have to
lose anything. So who knows well.
Speaker 7 (01:05:09):
In other sports news really quick so we can get
to those salmon sandwiches. The Atlanta Falcons and their defensive
coordinator Jeff Albridge have been fined following that print call
that Jeff Albridge's son did to Shadoor Sanders over the
NFL draft.
Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
Let's take a listen to jeff Arbridge apologizing.
Speaker 8 (01:05:27):
First of all, I like to publicly apologize to Shadar
and the Sanders family for what occurred. Second of all,
I want to publicly apologize to mister Blank, Terry Foutino,
Ran Morris, and the entire Falcons organization. My actions, my
actions have not protected confidential data, were inexcusable. My son's
actions were absolutely inexcusable, and for that we are both
(01:05:49):
deeply sorry. The NFL has taken action and I fully
respect the punishment. We take full responsibility my son and myself,
and we will not be appealing to find in any
way going forward. I promised my son and I will
work hard to demonstrate we are better than this. Again,
I'm deeply sorry for our actions.
Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
You should have your son up to apologizing too.
Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
And furthermore, I'm taking money out all these accounts whatever
I didn't save it up to him, trust funds and everything.
This coming out your money, son, Okay, this quarter million,
you're gonna pay for this.
Speaker 7 (01:06:20):
So the Falcons will find two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
while Jeff Albridge will have to pay one hundred thousand
dollars in an edition for failing to prevent the disclosure
of confidential information that was distributed to the club and
advance of the NFL draft because that number his son
was able to obtain because of those confidential documents. Now, question, Jess,
what does a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars behind
(01:06:41):
within look like in your household? Because my mom I
would have been up there apologizing. She would have pulled
me by my like you that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
I would have to be a slave for the rest
of my life.
Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
Pretty much.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Yes, my mom is not paying that for me.
Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
My dad would not pay that for me, Like if
it was my fault, that's such a big bill, Like
that accumulates in the house, and it's my fault. I'm
working the rest of my life to pay that and
swoppens every day and I'm thirty three, But.
Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
I'm saying I'm not even joking, Like whatever trust fund
he has put up for that little boy, that money
should come out of that. It's like like whatever money
he got put away for that little boy, if that
little boy got money in his savings account, checking account,
all of that got to come out to go to
this fine. You got you a nice little car that
you was driving, You're gonna have to sell that to
anything you got valuable you got to get rid of
until his dad.
Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
Is paid off.
Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Daddy had a couple of dollars, so you know he
was driving something nice. You know, you know he was
not no more. Well, that is the latest, and make
sure you got to check out the podcast The Latest

If you're like into the breakfast Club and.
Speaker 9 (01:08:31):
I just wanted to know how you came up with them,
don't hear.
Speaker 13 (01:08:34):
The name, because you mean.
Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
You get a bunch of donkeys.
Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
That is what Charlemagne.
Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Because we live a life where we write are tongue
based off who we may have seen, he never say anything.
Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 17 (01:08:55):
In the word of charlemagnea god he's a donkey.
Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Cow man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey a day.
Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
To who now?
Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Yes, donkey today for Thursday, May first is going to
a thirty five year old Kentucky woman named Makisha Johnson.
Now today is made first. And do you know what
today is?
Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
It's the first day of Mental Health Awareness Month.
Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Okay, drop on the clues, bumps for mental health away
as we This month is dedicated to raising awareness, promoting education,
and providing resources to support those struggling with mental health challenges.
And that is what we are doing today with this donkey.
We are raising awareness to those struggling with mental health issues.
Because Makeisha is clearly struggling with mental health issues. Okay,
she was a patient at a Kentucky hospital and she
(01:09:37):
did something that a lot of people think about doing
when the process at the hospital is taking too long.
Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
What do you mean, Uncle Sharlah.
Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
She did something that a lot of people think about
doing when the process at the hospital is taking too long.
Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Well, let's go to WDR you for the report. Please.
Speaker 21 (01:09:50):
A woman is under arrest in Louisville after reportedly choking
and assaulting a U OFFL hospital nurse. Court records saying
nurse was making her roalm Saturday afternoon, when thirty five
year old Miikeisha Johnson allegedly attacked her.
Speaker 6 (01:10:04):
Plase Say.
Speaker 21 (01:10:04):
Footage of the incident shows Johnson choking the nurse, then
slamming her to the ground, where she reportedly began hitting
the nurse in the face.
Speaker 6 (01:10:12):
Officer Say.
Speaker 21 (01:10:12):
Johnson claims she was angry at the staff were taking
too long to discharge her. Johnson was charged with assault
of a healthcare provider, wanting endangerment and menacing.
Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Here's the thing. When you're ready to go, you're ready
to go. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
We have all been part of the discharge process from
the hospital in some way, shape or form, whether you've
been the patient or whether you've been waiting with somebody.
And yes, the hospital does drag their feet sometime. Okay,
it is a hurry up and wait situation. Nothing is
worse when you have to unexpectedly go to the hospital,
like you know, you got to go to the eall
like something that right with you, or the kids got
a bone out of side gets so you gotta up
and leave the house and you didn't plan to.
Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Oh my god, you be so.
Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Ready to leave the hospital once they tell you nothing
wrong or they fix what is wrong, but the hospital
do be taken forever. But just because you think about
choking somebody doesn't give you the right to do it.
Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Escially, when this nurse wasn't doing anything but her job.
Nurses out here working long hours, they're underpaid, they're stressed,
and they always put their own health ever risk just
to take care of our sick asses.
Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
Okay, they do not deserve to be attacked on the job,
full stop.
Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
But also, if you're trying to speed up the process, Makisha,
the quickest way to slow things down is by physically
attacking the nurse. Okay, you're definitely not going home now,
You're going to jail now. I'm not here to make
excuses for her violences. Okay, what she did was wrong,
but we have to know something was off with her mentally, right.
You gotta know that there is a lot of things
(01:11:38):
that are going to push people to the breaking point.
In this day and time that we live in. It's
gonna be a lot of things that are gonna make
people snap. And it's because folks like Mekeisha are walking
around with undiagnosed mental illnesses. Okay, a lot of folks
out here underpression and they don't got no tools, no resources,
no coping skills. They're not going to no therapy, they
don't have no emotional outlets. They just have frustration and
(01:12:02):
nowhere healthy to put it, and they end up projecting
on people the way that Makisha projected onto this nurse.
And that's not an individual problem. Okay, that just doesn't
stand with Makisha, that's a societal problem. We don't take
mental health seriously. We tell people just to man up
or suck it up or you know, get it.
Speaker 6 (01:12:22):
What, suck it up?
Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
You know you were best eat because I could have
tied all of that in with Kanye too, but I
didn't because he's somebody else that we know is deal
with mental health issues and people be telling him to
suck it up. He did it literally, But we tell
people to man up and get over it or just
deal with it. Meanwhile, people out here exploding over little things, okay,
and others have to pay the price like that poor nurse.
Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
So we need to get people help, get them therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
I personally don't believe this young woman, Makisha Johnson needs
to be in handcuffs but she does deserve to get
the credit today for being stupid, so give her the
biggest he huh. Yes, yo, this man said suck it
up and people exploding over little things?
Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
Rightness was so much gay intention? Oh my god, guys,
no album.
Speaker 3 (01:13:27):
But no, it is mental health aware.
Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Thisess wants to let's, you know, pay attention to what
with mental health awareness is all about? Okay, there are
people out here struggling with all types of mental health
challenges that they don't know what to do with. So
let this be the month that you know, we should
do it all the time, but we should alway be
raising awareness and promoting mental health education and providing resources
to people who need it.
Speaker 6 (01:13:48):
They gonna do that? Kane empathy?
Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Am I gonna get empathy? Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
The reason I gave mckeisy Johnson donkey to day is
because she's thirty five years old. At some point, you know,
you know you shouldn't know better about it. You know
you're not responsible for your trauma, but you are responsible
for your healing.
Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
I mean, I hear you just because what I think
you said something crazy. It's Samon Berger.

Speaker 9 (01:16:33):
For a man while he's broke?
Speaker 4 (01:16:35):
You said, all right, so how you asked because you
kind of went out a little bit, you said, how
long should you take care of a man?
Speaker 13 (01:16:40):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Why he's broke?
Speaker 16 (01:16:42):
Yeah? How long you think? Like you should be done
for a minion while he's see.
Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
That's that goes on the situation basically, like that's bye,
that's whatever. The circumstances are, like you can't just put
because I can't tell you when you should stop putting
the bill for everything like this? He what does he
want to do? Do you see him trying to get
the job? Is he trying to make money some type
of way? Is he trying to you know, launch a
business or you know even a podcast something?
Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
What is he trying to do? Does he show you
any So he's starting.
Speaker 16 (01:17:11):
A clothing line, but it's like it ain't really like
growing good right now?
Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
So the closes trash is what you're saying, like he
ain't really.
Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
Have to It's not you wouldn't you wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
It's writing you this.
Speaker 15 (01:17:30):
I wear the promotion because I have a nice body,
So I wear the promotion.
Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
I get him some time wearing.
Speaker 13 (01:17:37):
You.
Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
You only wearing it because you know you're standing behind
your man like you know that's support and you want
him to make the money. But you gotta be real
with you something, because the clothes gotta be trash because.
Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
You are still footing the bill for a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
You're taking care of him, so obviously somebody ain't buying
the stuff off Jody.
Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
You know what I mean. He's not able to.
Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Not to do it.
Speaker 16 (01:17:59):

Speaker 9 (01:18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
See, that's the thing everybody see.
Speaker 4 (01:18:08):
Social media makes it look easy for people to start
their own businesses and things like that, but that that
comes with the mindset. You need to have a mindset
of a sale. First of all, you know how to
be patient enough to take ls. You need to know
how to run a business.
Speaker 3 (01:18:23):
You need to know. You know what I'm saying, you got.
Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
It's just certain things that.
Speaker 3 (01:18:25):
People financially before you started.
Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Busing exactly exactly, because you need money to make money,
especially when you have your own business. So he needs
a damn job like he needs to work for somebody
else before he can work for himself, right, yeah.
Speaker 13 (01:18:41):
So.
Speaker 9 (01:18:43):
Answer the question.
Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
You know it already sounds like you're tired, babes, So
go ahead and throwing that tail, you know what I mean,
and take a break from the relationship it ain't and

you know, because you love him.
Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
I feel like you love him.
Speaker 4 (01:18:56):
You're just tired and you're drained, and y'all not married,
so you don't need to be there. You don't have
any kids together, right, No, all.
Speaker 16 (01:19:01):

ghost to James sat Patrick, he got to do it
like a certain way, and that is not involving your money,
because you need your money for your stuff, for your life.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
What's your question?
Speaker 14 (01:20:38):
Was wrong? Yes?
Speaker 9 (01:20:39):
I would like to ask how to keep negativity people
out your life and just keep your peace?
Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
Just it's simple, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:20:47):
Well I can't say it because it's easier said than done,
but I keep negative people out of my life just.
Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Not answering the phone. I don't go around people.
Speaker 4 (01:20:55):
You gotta surround yourself with, you know, positive vibes. I'm
assuming because I'm positive for the most part. Ain't nothing
wrong with a little negativity every now and then because
everything can't be all peaches and sunshine and everything like that,
and that builds character.
Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
Negativity kind of builds character a little bit.
Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
But yeah, just don't answer the phone. Just don't talk
to people.
Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Is it your friends, your friends, your family?
Speaker 11 (01:21:17):
Like?
Speaker 8 (01:21:17):
Who is it?
Speaker 6 (01:21:17):
Friends?
Speaker 9 (01:21:18):
And family? People that I thought that was really close to,
that I trust that have been around for a long time,
and they just did some disrespectful things to me over
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
So I don't know how to make it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Oh okay, So that's what happened.
Speaker 4 (01:21:30):
All right, okay, so now we're being more specific. That
was real broad how you just came out like that.
All right, cool, but yeah, you you set that boundary, like, nah,
I'm not allowing this in my life. This is not
that you have to really really know what you won't take,
because if you tolerate something, people are only going to
keep doing, you know, displaying the same behavior. Like you
(01:21:51):
have to you have to let people know you're serious
about it. You don't got to talk to them people, friends, family, whatever,
I don't care if they.
Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
All your blood.
Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
A lot of times, nah, a lot of times you
gotta separate yourself and isolate yourself from family and friends
as well so they understand on all right, Yeah, I
may have done something that she didn't like or I made.
Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
Her feel uncomfortable in some type of way.
Speaker 4 (01:22:11):
Yeah, separates yourself, don't askwer the phone, don't go around
these people. They they're not deserving of your time and
certainly that they're not worth you draining your energy for them,
like no.
Speaker 9 (01:22:22):
True, that's it.
Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
And then if they want to know, why tell them,
tell them you're disrespectful.
Speaker 9 (01:22:28):

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
Yes it'll be made knife Mother's Day weekend. I love Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:30:19):
I love that her and Viola Davis are both starring
in an action film at the same time. It kind
of gives you the feel of like the How To
get Away with Murder and Scandal like Universe or something
like that. Yeah, so I really really love it. Love
seeing black women whom we ain't really ever see doing
action before doing action and.
Speaker 7 (01:30:37):
It was they're good too, Like it's not like where
you can tell us it's stunt double or like yeah,
it's actually good the shot.
Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
Well, you know, it's so interesting about Shonda Rhimes and
Biola Davis. They both had hit shows on network television.
But a lot of times when you talk to a
lot of you know, black people, especially black women, when
they've had those hit shows on network TV, they don't
go on to have like huge success in you anywhere.
A lot of a lot of times, like especially when
you talk to a lot of them from the nineties.
Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
Yeah, they had.
Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
Those big roles, but you didn't really see them do
anything much after that, Like they didn't even get offered anything.
So the fact that you know, uh, Carrie and Viola
still get a lot of work is a testament to them.
Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
But also you know, just I don't know, have time changed,
Like what happened?
Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Have time changed? You were here then and you don't
he has been here.
Speaker 5 (01:31:29):
You.
Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
Are still here.
Speaker 1 (01:31:32):
We don't know, man, it's so stupid. What is the
positive old people have time change that? But it's not
that I'm asking y'all. I'm just asking.
Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
Myself person when you accept time.
Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Changed that, but you tell us you was here, nigga,
the old time, Oh the positive. Notice simply this, authenticity
and integrity always win.
Speaker 5 (01:32:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
People either accept you or they don't. You keep people
in your life who align with the truth for your
being or they don't. Nothing is lost when you remain honest.
Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
Authenticity filters your life for you. You keep the ones
who are aligned and release the ones who aren't.
Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
Have a great day, breakfast, club, bitchess you don't finish
for y'all.
