Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, well, good morning, Morgan.

Speaker 9 (05:10):
Good morning, Good morning, dj Envy, Charlottage and the God
and Lauren Laura good good.

Speaker 10 (05:17):
All right, let's get into it.

Speaker 9 (05:18):
We are watching more develop out west with the LA
Wildfires or fire officials are giving an update on a
new fire burning rapidly through southern California. The Hughes Fire
sparked Wednesday morning, burning more than ten thousand acres near
the Castaic area, in a remote area north of Los Angeles.
LA County Fire Chief Anthony Maroney spoke about battling the blaze,

(05:39):
and LA County Sheriff Robert Luna assured residents not to
stress about looters.

Speaker 10 (05:44):
Let's hear from those officials.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
The situation remains dynamic and the fire remains a difficult
fire to contain, although we are getting the upper hand.

Speaker 11 (05:55):
So I want to make sure people know that that
if you leave your homes, there will be a dish
old deputies working out there in the neighborhoods to make
sure your homes are safe.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (06:06):
So no structures have been damaged so far from this
particular fire, with roughly four thousand fire personnel assisting officials,
do say wins are driving the spread of the fire,
with the National Weather Service extending a red flag warning
through ten am tomorrow morning. So well, can continue to
keep you guys posted and continue to keep La in
our prayers in regards to those fires.

Speaker 8 (06:27):
Yeah, they said, they said rain is going to be
coming this week, and that's what they're praying and hoping
for just a little bit of rain.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
But I wonder when du see when you came to
their rain dance and that monsoon is on the way.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't know about I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
How much rain is coming, but they said rain.

Speaker 8 (06:45):
I was just curious, when do the insurance companies start
heading over there and start evaluating and start paying those people, you.

Speaker 7 (06:51):
Know, some of them were what was the thing about
people not getting full insurance for the houses so that.

Speaker 9 (06:56):
Their insurance was dropped beforehand, weeks beforehand. But yeah, I
believe that some of the stuff is already being processed.
You just have it really is case by case though,
considering what your coverage is or you know, based on
where you're located and things of that nature. So yeah,
it is going to be a case by case. But
in case you in case you missed it. President Trump.
He did sit down for his first Oval office interview

(07:18):
in his second term. In a conversation with Sean Hennity
that aired last night on Fox News, he says many
of the issues of the past four years wouldn't have
happened had he still been in office. He slammed the
Democratic Party, calling their policies horrible. Trump is hinting at
changes coming to FEMA, saying the agency complicates things, it
hasn't done its job over the past four years states,

(07:38):
and he suggested that states should take care of their
own problems and that FEMA should play a secondary role
to states dealing with their own emergencies now. Trump also
believes that most people in California don't want sanctuary cities.
And he claimed millions of gallons of water is available
in northern California and just needs to be diverted or
pumped down to southern California. But right now it's being

(08:00):
diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Let's hear those comments from
Trump's interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News last night.

Speaker 12 (08:07):
California is a great example of it, if you actually
pulled the people. They don't want sanctuary cities, but Gavin
Newsom does, and these radical left politicians too. And you know,
if you asked them why, they couldn't even I watched
Gavin Newsom try to answer that question. He was unable
to even answer. He looked like an idiot. He was
unable to answer. I asked him one other question, why

(08:29):
is it that you don't want millions of gallons of
water a day pouring throughout California. You know, the farmland
in California is they say, the equivalent of Iowa great Land,
but it's got no water.

Speaker 10 (08:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
He also eluded or suggested that he would withhold any
federal aid from California if they don't pretty much follow
what he wants him them to follow. But he's suggesting
that we will see what Trump does because we can
clearly see that this is going to be one of
his first issues that he needs to deal with. So

(09:03):
he will address the World Economic Forum remotely today. The
annual event is being held in Davos, Switzerland. It'll be
his first major speech to global business and political leaders
since Monday's inauguration.

Speaker 10 (09:15):
So here we are, day three, day.

Speaker 9 (09:17):
Four, where we're well, well funder well underway into a
Trump presidency. So you know, we should start to see
some things come about.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
But let me ask you a quick question before we
go to the next hour.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
I was gonna ask I thought Trump said something like
he wanted state by state, He didn't want to do
any more female funding or federal funding. He wanted the
states to handle their own funding with their own problems.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Was that true? Is that a good thing or bad thing?
I wasn't sure.

Speaker 9 (09:41):
I'm not sure that that's a good thing because what
happens is like, if you look at a situation like Katrina,
how can the state handle themselves? You know you have
to bring in outside at a funded Yeah, you have
to bring in outside aid sometimes to get people.

Speaker 10 (09:55):
Back on their feet.

Speaker 9 (09:56):
In certain situations, you know, So I don't want to
say I understand and I get you know, Hey.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
I was just asking because he was saying it would
just he would just give the funding directly to the
state of opposed to go another thing.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing.
That's what I was asking.

Speaker 9 (10:08):
I don't think that's a good thing at all. I mean,
that's just my personal opinion. But you know, that's the
whole point of having the FED is to have your back,
you know, when you when the state can't cover it.

Speaker 10 (10:16):
I guess, but you know, we'll see.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
You know what really helped. If the rich paid did
fair share of taxes, that would help too.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (10:23):
Well, well that's your front page news the six am.
At seven am, we'll talk about d e I all.

Speaker 8 (10:29):
Right, everybody else, get it off your chest. Eight hundred
five eight five one oh five one. Phone lines to
wide open one. Eight hundred five eight five one oh
five one is.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
The breakfast club the morning the Breakfast Club?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Ray right, Ray, yo, Charlae man.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
What are we lying?

Speaker 3 (10:48):
This is your time to get it.

Speaker 13 (10:49):
Off your chest.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I got an indoor pool, outdoor pool.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
We want to hear from you on the breakfast club.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Get on the phone right now.

Speaker 14 (10:55):
He'll tell you what it is.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
We lie, Hello, who's this?

Speaker 15 (10:59):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
How you doing it? They can himself? Get it off
your chest. Canning.

Speaker 16 (11:03):
Yeah, man, Look, I'm not really in the takes. I'm
not really into all the hoop that is going on
with the government.

Speaker 17 (11:09):
But what is crazy is COVID. Remember that sham.

Speaker 16 (11:13):
Turns out they're not giving out vaccines anymore. They're not
going to regarding that. Turns out it comes to like
that at a stam and Biden before he left the office,
he found you he can't even be brought up on
any charge or anything.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
That is true. Why are you telling us just like
we don't know?

Speaker 6 (11:31):
Doesn't move to me?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah he got He definitely got pardon
before he left the White House.

Speaker 8 (11:38):
Yeah, it is crazy that that, you know, all those
people that didn't want to take the vaccine in certain
states were fired, They lost their jobs, they lost their income.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's really crazy that.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
Now, you know, I think Trump signed something where at
least he's given the military back pay and allowing them
to come back. But it is crazy that people lost
a lot for not wanting to take a vaccine that
wasn't tried and tested.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yeah, And I don't know what doctor Vouti is guilty
of or not guilty of, but I do know, Uh,
preemptive partons are not helping him beat any allegations, any
allegations that the YouTube conspiracy theorists have made about doctor
Fauci give them the giving them a preemptive parton is
not helping them beat the allegations at all.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
But I ain't gonna for the I was Joe Biden.
I'll be scared. Trump said yesterday, you pardon everybody yourself
but yourself. That's right, You ain't part of yourself.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
That's I would be scared. That's right.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well that he might see. He's on his way out,
but I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Hello, who's this.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
It's London, Hey, London, Good morning, good.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Morning, Good morning, peace London.

Speaker 18 (12:36):
Because I feel like the army get everything, and us
as police officers we out here in the war zone too,
we don't get no free college, we don't get no
house or no.

Speaker 17 (12:45):
House, no nothing.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
I agree with that, Like I'm.

Speaker 19 (12:48):
Out here rest of my life, just like Suposure Where
you from, y'all help at where you from?

Speaker 16 (12:52):
I'm from New York, but I'm in Connecticut.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Now Connecticut, all right.

Speaker 8 (12:55):
So the so the military, of course, they have ROTC
and they have programs where they you know, pay for
your college if you serve in the military, but also
usually police officers, they usually give you a discount help
you on your taxes if you live in certain areas.
I know in New York City, if you live in
the actual burroughs. I don't think they charge you as
much taxes when it comes to state tax so they

(13:15):
do give you a little bit.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
I agree with her, though, you should also get free
college and free held.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
We should if your fight in the war too.

Speaker 13 (13:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
The NPD, the NYPD budget is like five.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Point eight billion dollars. They could have puorded something for us.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
I agree with that. But thank you.

Speaker 16 (13:33):
London, Thank you y'all.

Speaker 6 (13:35):
Have a good day.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
You pull me over, let me slide.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I got you right.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Where does all that money go for the New York
Police Department budget? Five point eight billion? That's the most
in the country like this.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
The second I think the second is LA and they
get like one point something billions.

Speaker 8 (13:49):
They might the dancing shit not that, but you know
they use it for drones that they use a lot
of anti terrorists.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
They have a lot of offices on the street.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
I remember then they have like what was the car
they had, that nice car? It was romantic the NYPD
for it.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
I know they they used a lot of robots.

Speaker 8 (14:04):
I know that there's a lot of drone, a lot
of anti terrorist stuff that they have, especially when when
when things happen in the city. I know that for
a fact. But I don't know where all that money's going.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
But get it off your chest. I think it was
a Porsche, and my pey got a Porsche.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm looking at I.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Have no reason for no.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Goddamn police also have no Porsch unless it was repossessed
and they got it for free.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
But then they could at least soul and kept the money.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
But when viral people was pissed off, I never seen.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Might have been AI.

Speaker 8 (14:29):
Yeah, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight
five one oh five wone hit us up right now.
It's the breakfast cloak in the morning, the breakfast club.
This is your time to get it off your chest,
whether you're man or blessed.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
I hate the way that you walk, the way that
you talk. I hate the way that you dress everything.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
When me is best call up next eight hundred five
eight five five one, Not.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Just me, I'm with the coach of filing. Hello, who's this?

Speaker 6 (14:54):
Yeah, that's a big old frona.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
What's up, big old get it off your chest?

Speaker 6 (14:59):
Big o y'all doing this morning?

Speaker 18 (15:02):
Man?

Speaker 6 (15:03):
I just want to say that I'm just kind of
upset with the President. He passed all these legislations, but
he didn't get rid of that overtime tax. I work
on power lines and there, I mean, we make a
lot of overtime. I was expecting not to be paying
taxes on that. Also, I mean he just said that
he's not gonna help California with FEMA. But we I

(15:26):
live in the South, or we just had four states
hit by a hurricane, So what is he gonna do
in those states come at the contact with another hurricane?

Speaker 5 (15:34):
Why did he's just upset with California because of Gavin Newsom?
Because Gavin Newsom, you know, said he was gonna Trump
prove California. So I just think that's that's that's a
little bit of pettiness right there. I don't know how
he feels about the hurricanes in the South.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Well, they're gonna happen every year and they're getting worse.
So I mean him saying he's not gonna help California's
as to go across the border, and if he gets
rid of FEMA, I mean, it's gonna be a big
problem because most of it's a welfare state. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I was wondering.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
I do wonder about that, you know, I wonder what
the what the other option is, because you know, he
said he said FEMA is getting in the way and
states should take care of their own. So if FEMA
was getting in the way, then you know, what's the
other option.

Speaker 6 (16:14):
I don't think he has a solution to that, but
that's all I had. Man, y'all have a great morning.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
You have a good one.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Hello, who's this? What's up?

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Jay?

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Get it off your chest?

Speaker 17 (16:25):
Brother fair? Before I did that morning, Vy, you give
him some job at the iron meeting like your entire
company before a Trump came in. And when I left
the then I'm expecting to talk about talking for blacks,
you know, man in the work first, but it was

(16:45):
all about.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
Why are you talking like you're doing the quiet storm
on somebody's radio station, Like, what's up?

Speaker 15 (16:52):
Bro?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Come on. I don't even know what you say, what
you're saying. Last thing you said, you want to send.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
This out to all the transgender No, no, no, he
said with a D I meeting his job.

Speaker 17 (17:01):
Yeah, it wasn't what I expected, and I thought that
I'm talking about the black progress and that woman in
the workforce. But it was all about like LGB is
huge transgenderism and their progress and then want there while
the pas that with the iron and made me think
about what doctor Lamar said. I think when you first
came on, you show that the progress of blacks to

(17:22):
kind of being hindered because keep pushing one of what
you thought about that, I think Nancy May said the
same thing, like it's a lot of things common between
post Democrats, but the fine print swear to keep pushing
little things here and there.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know nothing
you said transgender, Nancy mays, doctor.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Uma, you don't even d a D. I I don't
even know what what are you?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
What is your question?

Speaker 11 (17:47):
What do you?

Speaker 3 (17:47):
What are you getting up in chest? Exactly? You're just
upset about the meeting, but.

Speaker 13 (17:50):
Not about it.

Speaker 17 (17:51):
But like I guess at the one point that the
progress of black and isn't hindered because of the push.

Speaker 8 (17:58):
Right, okay, brother, well you get it off your chest.
Can you throw into the next record as assistant record
the saying next.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Up is scissor next record for record, And you said

It was seven people.

Yeah, but you know, seven people just got rested.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
I was at the HOOKAHSPI. That's where they grabbed the mat.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
Let me let me look that up. How many people
got arrested for p P P. All right, all right,
well we got Jess with the mess coming up. What
we're talking about we do.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
We're gonna go back to a sp Rocky because his
attorneys were upset yesterday. There's not enough black people and
on the jewelry that they're trying to select. So we're
gonna get into it, all.

Speaker 8 (19:20):
Right, we'll get into that. NeXT's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Everybody's d J n V.

Speaker 8 (19:29):
Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne the gud We are the Breakfast Club
Laurna Rosa fillin and for jests and let's get to
Jess with the mess.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Hilarius, Jess Ca Robin Moore, just don't do no lines,
don't do.

Speaker 15 (19:41):
Talk to nobody, nooy talk the world why Jess worldwide
mess talk on the breakfast clubs, the coaches with Lauren,
Lauren Rosa and I got.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
The mess talk to me.

Speaker 7 (19:58):
So ain't that Rocky Day two? They are now trying
to yesterday? It was day two, Today will be day
three today January twenty third. They are now trying to
find the jury that will you know, be listening to
his case.

Speaker 13 (20:09):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (20:09):
So the issue yesterday was that out of one hundred
and six people that reported for jury selection, only five
of the people were black. Now, this was an issue
that Asat Rocky's attorney, Joe Tekapina, took up with the court.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
He said that this is not proper.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
There should be more diverse representation, especially because of the
area that they drew the jewelry from.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
He says that that.

Speaker 7 (20:31):
Area, that pool, there's a nine percent black population. So
for only five black people, four to five black people
to show up or be selected, it's not divers And
he's pushing back early on that, the judge says, well, look,
there's no authority that requires any particular percentage of ethnicity
on a jury.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
So we hear you, but like, what are you leaning into.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Here when they say jury of your pis what do
they mean exactly?

Speaker 8 (20:56):
Could be your neighborhood to be people that's in the
same neighborhood but also your same ethnic background.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Right, well, yeah, so, and and I never looked into it.
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (21:05):
Veren Al Sharpton actually spoken this as well too, because
he basically said people Asad Rocky's friends and family have
been in contact with him, he doesn't know all the
particulars of the case, but he said the same thing
that you said, like he's supposed to be judged by
his peers and it needs to be fair, and that
he's going to keep his eye on this case and
he's going to keep calling out things that are not
unfair because already it kind of seems like like people
are like, hm hmm, it's just a little weird.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
It's just a little set up.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Black people don't do jury duty a generalization out there,
LA don't do jury.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
The last time, I don't want to talk about on it. Okay,
but I haven't done it in a while.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
I haven't been called in a while. But you know
the reason I'm not able to do it is because
I have felties.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
So that's why I can't wait to get partnered by themself, Red, myself,
no anybody else.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
But don't say black. But Brad said he's never been called.
Don't you said you haven't been called?

Speaker 4 (21:56):
You know, black people and all people who do it
because they don't want to go to work.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
See, we don't.

Speaker 8 (22:01):
We usually don't do Jerry duty because we don't want
to go somewhere and they pay us Dominicans. I am black, sir,
but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I know a lot of people that don't get you.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Two sides of the coin.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Okay, all right, I'm black.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
You know what's funny, though in this era, they might
call a jury of aceps pears, a DEI jury, you
know what I mean. You never know, But I also did.
When I saw this story yesterday, I said to myself,
I know Reverend can multitask, but after the few first
days of the Trump administration and all the executive orders
we saw Trumps sign, I could think several other things
that Reverend should be focusing in attention on.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
But I think it was more so because his ending
line says, I am monitoring this trial and challenging the
LA District Attorney to ensure that fair and that there's
fair reprettation.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Right.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
I think this was just like a yo, this is
Asat Rocky.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
I don't know if y'all are familiar with him, but
don't play with him in his courtroom because he does
have allies out here. I think that that's all that
tweet was because it was just a simple tweet. But
when Asac arrived to the court, he arrived with his
mom and his sister yesterday for day two, and the
judge was on his mom's body. Okay, When ace attorney
stood up to introduce, because he's like, who are the
new people in the court room, Acep's attorney is like, oh,
this is Acep's mom and his sister, and his attorneys

(23:08):
like his mom and his I mean, the judges like
his mom. And the attorney's like, yeah, you can't tell
who's the mom and who's the sister. And the judge said,
you are beautiful, and that is on record.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
That's what I'm saying. Yes, so black Judge I don't.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
I didn't google the judge to see if he was
that on court.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
What did that have to do with the game.

Speaker 7 (23:25):
That question came up and reporting and someone after the
court asked one of the reporters, They're like, can't that
be looked at as like already unfair? And what was
mentioned in the conversation was it's not because there was
no jury in the actual room when he said it.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Okay, so that's what it's being said.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
But yeah, So basically another thing that came up as
well to the first day in yesterday they leaned into
was the fact that now ACEP Rocky's defense is going
to be that the gun that he had was a
prop gun or starter gun. For anybody that is not
familiar with what a prop gun or starter gun is,
this is a small gun. It only can fire blanks.
So basically it wouldn't been able to shoot anybody or

(24:01):
graze anybody the way that they are alleging.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
That it happened.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
Now the prosecution is upset because they're like to ACEPS attorneys, Yo,
y'all never told us that this was going to be
all defense. This is last minute, we're supposed to know things.
Thirty days in advance so that we can have a
chance to prepare and respond to this. Why is this
coming up now? And there an ACEPS team is like, no,
we alluded to it. We said that because of who
he is, because of home invasions, he does different things

(24:25):
to secure himself. So there was a whole back and
forth about that as well too. And ACEPS team said
that they actually had witnesses who were going to testify
that that gun was just a prop gun.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Was there a real bullet that they pulled out of somebody?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
So that's the thing.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
They haven't been able to find any show when they went.
When investigators went, they didn't find any shell cases except
raally turned in shellcases. But I believe that they never
found a gun as well too, So there's a whole
back and forth about that as well.

Speaker 8 (24:49):
Did they basically say really allegedly got shot and picked
up his own shellcasing and then went to the hospital,
Well really.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
Brought showcases him and his girlfriend went back to the
scene the get showcases, and he actually did bring show
cases and turn into investigators. But what a SAP's side
is saying that he did have the prop gun, And
I think they're having to say this because in the
video I took a screenshot of the video. Remember you
mentioned like there was like something kind of similar to
a gun in the video. You do see something in
his hand. I think he's just trying to explain what

(25:16):
that was, and they're saying it was a prop gun,
and he's saying that he only fired in the air,
never directly pointed it at really because really began to
follow him. That's, according to a SAP, was been a
leshed by him.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
I got a headache ready. I wouldn't report the jury
duty for this.

Speaker 17 (25:34):
Want to go to.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yeah, well work all right, well yeah, don't have time.

Speaker 17 (25:42):
For one more.

Speaker 8 (25:42):
Alright, Well, thank you for justss it was gonna happen
now right. What they're gonna send all of us, let
us for jerry duty.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
Can we do that because we people with the media.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yes, you gotta do jerry duty.

Speaker 13 (25:51):
That don't matter.

Speaker 17 (25:53):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Until they asked that question, is anybody and they have
been convicted of a felony.

Speaker 7 (25:57):
I've never been convicted of a felony.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Well that's your fault, okay, that's any of your family
members on lawl endorsement.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
None of my family is law enforcement.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Day yeah, I definitely got that. I'll pull up my
gold card and everything.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Do you work anybody that's closer with the felons?

Speaker 12 (26:12):
Right?

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Oh, I work with felons. I what I know felons.
I know a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
All right, well that is just.

Speaker 17 (26:21):
Now.

Speaker 8 (26:22):
When we come back, we got Front Page News and
then Bozem the Saint John will be joining us, you
know how from Real.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Housewives of Beverly Hillson gonna move. It's to Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Good Morning, wake up, Wait cool if you're liked into
the Breakfast Club Morning.

Speaker 8 (26:33):
Everybody's dj n V Jess, Hilarry's Charlemagne, the gud we
are the Breakfast Club just is out sick, Laura La
Rossa holding it down and let's get in some front
Page News.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Good morning, Morgan, Good.

Speaker 10 (26:44):
Morning, and the Laura la Rossa and Charlemage the God
y'all all.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Right, yes, ma'am peace Morgan.

Speaker 13 (26:49):
All right.

Speaker 9 (26:49):
You guys know, There's been a lot of mixed reaction
around Trump's anti diversity, Equity and Inclusion executive order. Right
many say it's a direct attack on the Civil Rights
Tact of nineteen sixty four, the landmark law in the
United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex,
and national origin. So there was a caller I believe

(27:10):
that mentioned basically the black race. How's that DEI and
also roping in lgbtqia. All of that ropes into diversity, Okay,
So in a Black Information Network exclusive, I had the
honor of attending a demanding diversity DEI roundtable yesterday at
the National Press Club here in Washington, DC, and the
conversation was the first of many steps in the response
to President Trump's rollback of DEE and I I spoke

(27:33):
exclusively with National Urban League President and CEO Mark Morial
about how the executive order will impact specifically black people
in the workforce. But I'm sure anybody could take away
some advice from this, So let's hear from Mark Morial.

Speaker 20 (27:46):
His executive orders, in my own opinion, are unlawful as
an inappropriate and illegal exercise of presidential power because they seek,
in effect, to overturn the Civil Rights Act, to overturn
provisions of the Constitution which.

Speaker 13 (28:03):
Cannot be accomplished by executive action.

Speaker 21 (28:05):
You are now saying, let's build a wall to keep
black people, brown people, to keep Asians, Indigenous Americans, and
many other Americans, women and others from having a fair
opportunity to work in the federal government, to be promoted
in the federal government, to play in leadership roles all
across American life.

Speaker 13 (28:24):
So we must resist these executive orders.

Speaker 10 (28:30):
Any thoughts, how do you resist them?

Speaker 4 (28:33):
That's a great question, Like if it's because it doesn't
that make it law? Like how do you just resist them?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
What did the resistance look like?

Speaker 9 (28:39):
And does it automatically just because he issues an executive
order does not automatically make it law. And you basically
fight fire with fire, you fight it with law, you
bring up lawsuits. So the National Council of Negro Women,
Chavon Arline Bradley, she spoke on the panel and she
did provide some advice on what to do if you
are impacted by these changes.

Speaker 10 (28:59):
Into your point, Lauren, how do you react? Let's hear
from Shavon Arline Bradley.

Speaker 18 (29:05):
We do not want to underestimate, particularly the role of
black women in this last election. In previous elections, we
were over ninety two percent of an entire voting block.
And what I'm telling people is you must connect your
power to your civic engagement as well. As your consumer engagement.
Black communities are a primary base in this country, not
only for the economy, but also to the intellectual progress

(29:26):
of this country. We have been so mired with false
content that says there's no merit in our communities. Black
women are the most qualified block of educated people in
the United States of America, and black women's stand is
not only overqualified, but ready to activate at all tables.

Speaker 9 (29:45):
Well, she basically went on to say that, you know,
we should mobilize, and we should use those efforts in
mobilization to have these type of conversations and figure out
what our starting point is.

Speaker 10 (29:54):
What do you guys think.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
Well, in regards to the DEI thing, you know, I
was just sitting there thinking, and you know why it
was so easy for so many corporations to get rid
of DEI because they wanted to. They never wanted to
do it to begin with, Like Corporate d Corporate DEI
was always some bs because it was just pr after
George Floyd. Like you know, if you look at it,
the number of black CEOs never increased. The pleasures these

(30:16):
corporations made, the black orgs they didn't deliver on. It
was always performative and That's why they couldn't wait to
shut down a lot of these DEI initiatives as soon
as Trump, you know, got back in the White House.
And I just think that now is the time for
you know, us as a people to what she's kind
of speaking to us as a people. We got to
collectively come up with things that are for us by us.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Like you can't.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
You can't let a group of you know, white people
in corporate America determine, you know, what what DEI or
whatever is going to be in the future look like.

Speaker 9 (30:47):
So to your point, Revenoul Sharpton is actually calling for
a boycott of companies who reversed their DEI programs. Sharpton
added MLK rally in d C. He said that King
gave his life, shed blood and died to open America
America up to everyone, regardless of race or sexual preference. Now,
he said on the National Action Network, plans to announce

(31:08):
a boycott of at least two companies that have reverse
DEI policies within ninety days.

Speaker 10 (31:12):
Now, if that's.

Speaker 9 (31:13):
Something that we can all come to an agreement on
on what the actual two companies it are, do you
think we will make an impact?

Speaker 5 (31:19):
I think we need to come to an agreement on
what we want diversity, equity, and inclusion to be for us.
I really don't think we can leave it in the
hands of corporate America. It should have never been in
the hands of corporate America to begin with.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
How we going to do that when we are not
like our leadership numbers are off, our ownership numbers are off,
like we are always having it.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
But they're making stuff.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
They're allegedly making stuff for us right in these companies,
So we should be the ones that create it, regardless
of what our numbers are in this company. Like ten
white people in a room can't tell a company what's
good for black people, or what's good for women, or
what's good for They can't.

Speaker 7 (31:51):
But they do because those ten white people in the
room are normally the executives. And unless you're empowered in
that room, you've been here for x amount of years,
you're the one black person in the room, and what
you're gonna do through that? But this should be the
other way. But you should be you know, that's my point.
We should demand that like those executives. The executives should say, hey,
how should this look? And we should be bringing it
to them like they shouldn't be saying, Okay, it's our

(32:11):
du program.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Because once again, that's why it's so easy for them just.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
To take it away, because they never wanted to do
it to begin they didn't want to do it.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
It was I'm not gonna say every company didn't want
to for most companies who did it for p all purposes.

Speaker 10 (32:23):
We'll make sure y'all shop with the companies that stood
on tent. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (32:26):
Let's switch gears and talk about you know, these these
J sixers again. House Speaker Mike Johnson. He says he
believes in second chances. He made the comments defending President
Trump's pardons of January sixth rioters that includes former Proud
Boys leader Enrique's trio David Dempsey, who attacked police officers
with pepper spray and flag poles, and Julian Carter, who
pepper sprayed officers including Brian Sicknick, who died the day

(32:49):
after January sixth after the riot. Now, House Speaker Johnson says,
we need to move forward. Let's hear more from Speaker Johnson.

Speaker 22 (32:57):
The President has the pardon and computation authority. It's his decision.
What was made clear all along is that peaceful protests
and people who engage in that should never be punished.
There was a weaponization of the Justice Department. There was
a weaponization of the events. It was a It was
a terrible time and a terrible chapter in America's history.

Speaker 9 (33:16):
Yeah, so I would encourage everyone to go watch The Sixth.
It's on Amazon Prime. It's a documentary that follows January sixth,
the United States capital attack, through the perspective of people
who were actually there. And it does feature like real
live this is not like reenactment type stuff. It features
real footage.

Speaker 10 (33:32):
From that day. And yeah, it's on Amazon Prime, and
so check it out.

Speaker 9 (33:37):
So just in case you don't know what happened on
the sixth and what it looked like from the perspective
of people who were inside the Capitol building, check out
The Sixth on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
I did see one of the people that he pardoned
and got arrested again.

Speaker 9 (33:48):
I did, yeah, like a day after, which is yeah,
on separate gun charges, yeah, something something else regarding Yeah,
that's yeah. They're being released out of a jail out
here in d C. And it's it's been quite the show.
So sure, but yeah, that's your front page news y'all.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 13 (34:33):
Morning.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Everybody is the j n V. Jess hilarious, Chela mean
the guy.

Speaker 8 (34:37):
We are the Breakfast Club Lawn LaRosa Philip in for Jess,
and we got a special guest in the building.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
We have Bows of my Saint John. Welcome back, all
thank you, all right now you feeling thank.

Speaker 17 (34:47):
You to see you.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
I'm sending you positive vinergy and love and like you
just saw that you lost your house in the LA wildfire.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
That's right, and you said you found out on social media.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Yes, on video.

Speaker 19 (35:01):
Yeah, somebody's just driving down pH and I was like, oh,
that's my intersection.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
Oh there's no house.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Did you get a chance to go back to see
whatever was there to rubble if you can.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
I haven't.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
I haven't been able to be back yet.

Speaker 19 (35:13):
So it's like, you know, everybody's just waiting to see
when we're allowed to go back and see what is left.
Although you know there's nothing left, but I think there's
still something about the grief process where you just need
to see it, just to know yourself that it's totally gone.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Did you lose pictures, passports, all like so many things?
But when you evacuated, what were you able to grab
if anything?

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Nothing? Well, first of all, I wasn't even in the country.
I was in Zambia. Yeah, birthday right, yes, belated, thank
you so much, Yeah, thank you. That's a lie.

Speaker 19 (35:48):
But it was so scary and overwhelming because you know,
all you know is that the fires are coming, you
don't know which direction they're going in, and the evacuations
happen so quickly that you know, the people who are
in their homes like really, you don't have time to think.
I think we've all had that moment right where you've
been like, oh, you know, it's like if there was
something like who would you save or what would you take?

(36:10):
And you make those theories, but in reality it doesn't
work like that. There's this panic and for me, since
I was so far away, there was really nothing I
could do, and Who's I.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Gonna send to go get myself? I was going to
do that, you know, so you gotta let it burn.

Speaker 8 (36:23):
Did you see online which I thought was horrible and totasteful?
People were saying, you know, when rich people are wealthy,
people were losing their cribs. Good for them, they could
get another one and all that, you know, And I'm thinking, like,
it doesn't matter if you're wealthy, if you're not, you're
losing things that care and me the most of you.
So so how did you feel when you're seeing that?
Like now you just lost your all your property, You
lost all your things and then you see this online?

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Well it pisses me off because it's like who you
think gave me the house?

Speaker 18 (36:46):
Right?

Speaker 19 (36:46):
You know, you think somebody just came here and gave
me the house. You don't know that I worked for it.
So what if you worked for it, you should just
lose it and it should be all right. No, of
course I'm sad. I cry I'm mad. It's like, yes,
of course I'm in a better position because I I
will be able to replace things, I will be able
to rebuild.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
But who wants to do that?

Speaker 19 (37:04):
You know, we got enough going on. I don't want
to have to do that too, Like can I get
some peace? Just want some rest? And so it's like
it makes me upset when people say.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Stuff like that. You know, me and my wife were
talking the other day when we see all we were like,
you know, what would we grab?

Speaker 8 (37:17):
Like we try, we try to start setting things up
in the house, and she's like, well, I got to
go get the photo albums. I gotta get the pictures.
I need the memories. And then she was like, but damn,
what about the kids? First outfit?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
You want to be able to pass that on. And
then you're thinking of what about this about the kids?

Speaker 3 (37:29):
You got thirteen of them?

Speaker 15 (37:30):
You know.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
How she dealing with.

Speaker 7 (37:34):
All of this because she's you know, she's young, and
explaining it to her.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
She's fifteen, and I think it's I mean, it's a
tough time.

Speaker 19 (37:41):
You know, you're already a teenager with all these emotions
going on, you know, but she has friends who've also
lost their houses, so at least she has some community
that she can talk to about shared experience. But you know,
how do you comfort a child who's like, well, what what?
What if the fire comes again?

Speaker 4 (37:58):
You know what I'm saying? And then what? So it's
just a tough thing.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
How are you able to show up and do this though?
Because I mean the show what's going?

Speaker 17 (38:05):
Right?

Speaker 3 (38:05):
You got your beauty brand eat by promoting the reality show,
but then you got all of this heaviness on you.
How are you able to even show up and just
do what you're doing right now?

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Well, unfortunately, I'm not unused to grief.

Speaker 19 (38:17):
Yeah, you know, it's like I've faced a lot of
it in my life. And one thing I know for
sure is that the sun is going to come up
the next day. People are gonna keep moving, and if
you don't move with it, you'll get left behind, you know.
And it's like, look, I think one of the things
for me is that, yes, I do want to rebuild,
Yes I do want another house. Yes I want more
things in my life. And how am I gonna get it?
Nobody's gonna give it to me. So I got to

(38:37):
get up and go do the work myself.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
And what made you do Real Housewives at Beverly Hills.
Why did you jump into that person?

Speaker 3 (38:44):
That's the first thing I said that I was.

Speaker 7 (38:48):
Like, I didn't think it was boredom. I just thought
I was like, well, maybe this is going to like
lean into like future business. So successful already, she's the
girl for us girls, why would she go there with
them people?

Speaker 4 (39:01):
Well, you know what's so funny.

Speaker 19 (39:03):
The idea of being on the show is actually really
interesting to me because I do feel like there's no
representation for women like me or like us.

Speaker 6 (39:11):
You know that.

Speaker 19 (39:12):
It's like, look, the corporate girlies who are ambitious, who
are smart, who are loyal and will defend their friends
and all of that.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
They don't exist in this space.

Speaker 19 (39:22):
No disrespect to anybody else, but they just don't. And
so I'm like, well, I've already represented in so many
different spaces, like why not do it here and also
work on a bigger platform and also do things that
I want to do in a different way, So why not?

Speaker 5 (39:36):
I guess we always look at you as an executive,
like I want to run down some of your resumes.
You a Global CMO and Netflix CMO of in Devil CEO,
CBO of Uber, head of marketing of Apple Music and
its head of Music and Entertainment marketing at PEPSI coo
and I'm missing.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Anything God's favorite baby.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
What would you say the key to all of that
success has been and do you prefer being behind the
scenes in front of the car?

Speaker 19 (39:59):
Yeah, that's an interesting I mean, I think the key
to success always has been that I truly am myself.
You know, I think that a lot of people like
to say that. It's hard to do because when you're
in these spaces, conformity is what wins.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
You know, You've got to just be like everybody else.
You got to wear the gray suit like everybody else.

Speaker 19 (40:15):
But anybody who has seen my career or seen me
walking around has known that, like, I am a black
girl first and foremost, I represent exactly who I am.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
I don't try to pretend not to be.

Speaker 19 (40:26):
And so for me, it's like that has been my
key to differentiation and what has made me successful. And
so now moving out of that space is just another
unexpected thing.

Speaker 17 (40:36):
You know.

Speaker 19 (40:37):
It's like, look, you read my resume and it sounds
great because people are like, oh my gosh, you did
that and that that, But it's like if you were
there with me day to day and were advising me,
you'd see that people never cheered me on even when
I made jumps, like people never did So when I
left Apple to go to Uber, people were like why
would you do that? Like why would you leave Apple?

(40:57):
And at the time I went to Uber was like
the company was going down in flames.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
They're like, why would you do that?

Speaker 19 (41:02):
And I's like, yeah, because first of all, y'all think
that I'm getting these jobs as some sort of token,
and so what I'm going to show you is actually
I'm the greatest marketer of life and that a company
that is on its knees, I'm going to help rebuild.
And when I do that, you can't ask me another question.
And then it's like, Okay, I moved from Uber to
Endeavor and then Endeavor to Netflix and Netflix I joined

(41:24):
right at the start of the pandemic, and people are like, oh,
why would you do that? Like it's such a big company,
like the spotlight is on it. If you fail, you're
gonna fail big. And I'm like, yeah, but if I
can do that, then you again, you can't ask me
whether or not you can do this, right because now
I've done it at four different companies.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
Who's gonna deny me?

Speaker 19 (41:40):
And then I was inducted into the Marketing Hall of
Fame and I was like, yeah, okay, there, I'm done, retire,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Franchise's shooting down.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
So I guess you're the hare to save the Real
Housewives franchise because that franchise seemed like it was going down.

Speaker 19 (41:53):
Well, I think that it deserves a reinvention, you know.
I think the relationships between women has been really shown
poorly in ways that are not helpful. I'm not saying
that there's not conflict. There's always conflict. There's conflict in
the boardroom.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Okay.

Speaker 19 (42:07):
The fights I had in the boardroom were far scarier
than any fight have had on this Now.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
You know any of those women know?

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Were you friends with them?

Speaker 4 (42:13):
I knew one of them?

Speaker 19 (42:14):
Yeah, at least oh sudden, because just socially got you know,
we know each other that way.

Speaker 8 (42:20):
We got more with Bozem of Saint John when we
come back. You know her from the Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.

Speaker 8 (42:26):
Everybody is dj V just hlarious Charlamagne the God. We
are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with st John,
you know, former market of executive for Netflix, Uber Apple,
and you know she's on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
right now.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Charlamagne, you do a comfortable feels like?

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Both?

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Do I know what comfortable feels.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Like if you have allowed yourself to get comfortable?

Speaker 4 (42:48):
I don't think in a workspace, No, that's what I mean.
In a workpace, Yeah, I haven't.

Speaker 19 (42:51):
No, I don't know because there isn't one, you know,
not because I haven't allowed myself to, but because that's
just death.

Speaker 14 (42:58):
You know.

Speaker 19 (42:58):
It's like, if you get too comfortable in the corporate spaces,
somebody's gonna come get you, you know. And I don't
think that there's any nirvana for black people, or especially
black women in these spaces.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
And so I'm like, yeah, you always got to watch
your back. So I don't think I've ever been comfortable.

Speaker 5 (43:15):
No, I'm glad you said that too, because I feel
the same way. And I think that sometimes when you
get too comfortable, you start to play it safe, and
then that's when I think all of these industries start
to die out because you've got people who are playing
it safe, And my thing is like, they're probably gonna
fire you if you play it safe, you might.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
As well take the risk innovative.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Yeah, because if you get fired doing that, at least
you feel good about yourself.

Speaker 19 (43:34):
Well, I've always said that, like, look, when I leave
a space, I want you to know that I was there,
Like I will never leave a space, and you were
just like, oh, well she can hear at all.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
No, I got to leave some sort of print.

Speaker 19 (43:46):
And so it's like, how am I gonna do that
if not representing for who I am in my community
and all of those things. Now, look, I recognize the
fact that it is a burden to be in these
spaces and to be the one and people, you know,
and something happens to black people, they turn to you
and be like, oh, so, what do you think we
should do? And yes, that is annoying, But at the
same time, it's like, yeah, well maybe that's why I'm

(44:08):
actually in this room to actually say the things that
are hard to say and the things that they wouldn't
know otherwise. And so for me, the comfortability aspect has
never really been part of what I have tried to
achieve because I know that that's not my destiny.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
That's not what I'm meant to do.

Speaker 7 (44:26):
So are you staying in the room to do that?
Because people think you're leaving the show because of the
post that you put up on this.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Are you leaving?

Speaker 19 (44:31):
No, I'm not leaving the show. That's by something else.
But then my house burned down so that I couldn't
even talk about it.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Oh so he was gonna quit something else? You had
an announcement coming?

Speaker 19 (44:39):
Yes, No, I was thinking about like life changes and
things I need to do, not about the show at all.

Speaker 17 (44:44):
Got you.

Speaker 8 (44:44):
Yeah, we're proud of you as a community from what
you've done, what you've accomplished. But you know, some people
might not know the educational background and how you got there.
So for people that's in your field, that's admire you
and want to say, damn, I want to even go
a notch of what she did.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
How did you do it right? What is the education right?

Speaker 19 (45:01):
Well, I mean I have my bachelor's degree. You know,
I don't have a master's degree. I decided after my
bachelor's that I wanted to jump right into work. I
had the opportunity to go to Spike Lee's advertising agency,
which is where I got my start. You know, I
think the difference with how I did it is that

(45:23):
I never thought that a job was too small, you know,
for me to actually like.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Say that again, because people and I don't think they
heard from the back and did you get paid at first?
You didn't get paid, It paid nothing.

Speaker 19 (45:35):
But you know, the jobs were never too small. Like
I brought my full self to every single job. There
was never a time where I was just like, you
know what, when I get into that corner office, that's
when I'm gonna do da da da da da.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
No I did that when I was an assistant.

Speaker 17 (45:49):
You know.

Speaker 19 (45:50):
It's like you can ask Spike today and he will
tell you that like I crushed. In fact, like when
I was getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, he
did an interview and he said he knew then that
he would work for me one day. And that happened
when I was at Netflix and he got an overall
deal while I was the CMO, you know. And so
for me, it's like, look, there's never been a moment
in my career where I felt like I can't wait

(46:11):
for the next thing. I brought everything to the job
I had, and so even now as I sit here
and doing this show and all that, I'm bringing everything
everything I have, you know, because I want to be
able to have the next opportunity and the next opportunity
and the next opportunity.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Do you consider yourself an alpha woman?

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Absolutely?

Speaker 8 (46:27):
Yes, So with being an alf woman, how is that
in relationships? Do you feel like you have to submit
a little bit? Do you feel like you have to
fall back a little bit?

Speaker 3 (46:36):
That question to Laura? Huh, couldn't pass that question.

Speaker 8 (46:41):
I'll tell you the truth, no, because you know, when
it comes to the Real House. You know, my wife
watches the show, so she's a fan, and she she
loves who you are. So she's always asked like, damn,
I wonder how was that in a relationship?

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Because she's very.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Strong and she had that question.

Speaker 8 (46:56):
She also wanted to know, did you feel like those
friendships on Real Housewile of Beverly Hills are real friendship?

Speaker 19 (47:02):
So okay, So here's the thing. I can't diminish who
I am. It's not possible. So yes, I want the
soft girl life and the whole thing, and I can
have that too, But at the end of the day,
this is who I am. You know, I walk into
a room and I demand things. It is my energy
and my aura, and so the need for a partner

(47:22):
who is not threatened by that or not afraid of
that is absolutely necessary. So it's not necessarily about me
dimming or getting quieter or being more subservient.

Speaker 12 (47:33):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (47:33):
Like, who's just going to match my energy?

Speaker 17 (47:35):
You know?

Speaker 4 (47:35):
My mom says every pot has a lid, and I
feel like, now I found a lid. How did you
know that, Kille?

Speaker 7 (47:40):
Because also too, not only is he coming and you're
like already this super successful marketing Hall of famer, but
now he's having to be introduced on Real House as
a Beverly Hill right, got questions after your late husband
as well, Yeah, how did you usher him into all that?

Speaker 4 (47:55):
And how did you know he was fit for that job?

Speaker 12 (47:57):
Right?

Speaker 19 (47:57):
Well, also I have to add that, like I also
respect him a great deal, you know, so that that
has to be at the bottom of it, you know,
which is like that's where we have to start. I
have a tremendous amount of respect for him, and so
the conversation even telling him that like, hey, look I'm
I'm on the show, right, I would like you to
be on the show. But let's talk about that whether

(48:17):
or not you feel comfortable doing it. And when he
said he did, and I was like, all right, look,
you haven't been in the scrutiny like I have, so
we're going to have to talk about what that looks
like for you, you know. And so to me, it's
like there's a responsibility that I have to him, you know,
in being my partner, on being on the show, and

(48:38):
therefore making sure.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
That he's also protected.

Speaker 19 (48:40):
So perhaps that's even where the alpha woman shows up,
is that like I feel that, you know, I want
to be protected by him, but I also feel a
responsibility to protect him as well. And as for the
relationships on the show, look, I'm the first one to
tell you that I really thought that these conversations were
played up, you know. I thought it was just make
it up. You know, people be like, oh, she talked

(49:01):
about you. I was shocked to find out that the
relationships are really real. So people get upset about real things,
you know, and you really don't know. It's just like life,
Like you don't know if somebody's talking about you behind
your back.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
You do not know that, and so you're making.

Speaker 19 (49:17):
Assumptions based on the facts that are given to you,
so you might be really nice to somebody, but yet
she was over here talking about whatever it is that.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
She want to talk about you, and you didn't even know.

Speaker 19 (49:28):
And so you see it on screen later and people
will be like, oh, she should have known she was
fake and this and that.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
You're just like, how would you know that? You'd have
to be psychic you would have known.

Speaker 19 (49:36):
And so I'm I am continuously learning about the relationships
between the women and myself and then also how it
appears on camera. Reunions are going to be very interesting.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
That's all I know.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Could you have a house husband, Like if it was
just a guy who.

Speaker 19 (49:52):
I don't think No, I don't believe so. Yeah, I
don't think so. I don't think so it was a
nice guy.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Look good, he putting it down, he cooks, Yeah, keeps everything.

Speaker 19 (50:02):
I think it's it's probably more about like mindset and
ambition than anything else, you know. I'm just I'm way
too ambitious, I think to have somebody who would not
want to also be ambitious.

Speaker 13 (50:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
I also noticed on the show they changed a lot
on the show, and I watched the show with my wife.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
That's little day. But I noticed on the show.

Speaker 8 (50:18):
When I do watch it, I love seeing them women
bow down to you a little bit, like they tiptoe
around you, and you know, like you could tell that
they look for your approval.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Do you notice that?

Speaker 3 (50:27):
Because it's a shift and it's a change.

Speaker 19 (50:29):
I do think it's a shift because I'm not like them,
and so I think anytime somebody new or like a
new situation presents itself, they're also going to be a
little careful, you know, because you just don't know. You
got to test the water right now. If I come
back for second season, I think that would be a
different situation because now they know they know you right right,
and they're like, oh okay, so she's got her opinions,

(50:51):
she can stand up for herself, and they'll have a
different way to interact with me.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
I'm sure that's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
How we got more with Bozuma Saint John.

Speaker 8 (50:59):
It's the break Fist Club, Good Morning, everybody is dj
n V Jess Hilarious, Charlamage, the God We are to
Breakfast Club. Lon La Rosa is feeling in for jests
and we're still kicking it with Boze of Us Saint John.
You know how from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Charlomagne,
how did putting.

Speaker 5 (51:13):
Out your book The Urgent Life of My story of love,
loss and supply? But how did that being vulnerable in
that book prepare you to be vulnerable on reality?

Speaker 4 (51:20):
Oh that's a great question.

Speaker 19 (51:22):
It was so hard to write my memoir. I think
what happens is that you know that I was saying,
with grief, you know, you just want to get it
behind you. You just you want to feel better, you
want to feel quote unquote normal. And what happens is
that we don't realize that you put away the sadness
and the fear and the anger and all those things,
which also put away the happiness and the joy and

(51:45):
all the good things that were a part of that,
because your brain doesn't know how to separate any of
those things. And so in writing the book, I had
to go get all of that stuff back. No, I
had to be really honest about how I was feeling
in a situation or what was my true feelings about
the thing, in order to write an honest book. And
I didn't feel like anyone would connect with it if

(52:06):
I was just writing fiction. And that absolutely prepared me
for this particular role because I don't have the need
to hold back from my personal life. You know, so
much of my life has been about my professional pursuits,
and so in writing the book, I was able to
talk about love. I was able to talk about you know,
things that made me cry and you know, things that

(52:28):
hurt me. And so now it's like I can do
that more comfortably because I've already done it by writing it.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
How does it feel with you and Garcel?

Speaker 7 (52:36):
Like you guys are like the two black women on
the show, right, and you already talked about like feeling
like you're there to say certain things that people can't say,
whatever the case may be. Does it make you feel
like a token? You don't give the energy that you
would just be okay with that, But does it make
you feel like that? Do you ever have to be
like to producers like now I'm not doing it all happening.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Yes, all the time.

Speaker 19 (52:53):
Well, the thing is that, like I don't necessarily have
to tell producers that I'm not going to do whatever
it is that because they're not really orcing anything, you know,
but I know that I'm not doing the thing that
perhaps would be expected of me to do. You know,
it's like I often said that, you know, I wasn't
going to come down into the mud.

Speaker 7 (53:11):
Do you feel the need to, like do you and Garcel,
I don't know what your relationship is off camera? Yeah,
but is that like it's a good relationship, okay? Do
you feel the need to defend her when certain things
happen and she like, I know she was going through
stuff where like they were attacking like her, I think
it was her son and her kid right.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
Right, right, right now.

Speaker 19 (53:25):
I've already said I was at it publicly that like
if somebody had said something about my child, I don't
know that we'd be we'd be friends today, you know.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
I was like, I don't know that I can get
over that.

Speaker 19 (53:33):
And I have yet to talk to Garcel about how
she got over that, you know, just because I just
felt that, like it just crossed such a line.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
And perhaps she is, you know, more evolved than I am.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Maybe she has gotten over it, she's waiting on her shot.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Maybe maybe she wait.

Speaker 19 (53:48):
I don't know that's a good point, but I do
think that, you know, for her and I I hope
that what people are seeing is that there's a possibility
to be more than one type of black woman, You
know that, like ourselves, an accomplished actress who has her
own life and her own challenges and issues, and the
conflicts that she's had with the women don't necessarily have

(54:08):
to be my conflicts.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Because I don't.

Speaker 19 (54:10):
I don't have those conflicts with them, you know, I
have I probably have my own. And so why is
it that we can only have one?

Speaker 17 (54:17):
Like?

Speaker 19 (54:17):
I really hate the comments with people are like, oh, okay,
boss here knock ourselves can go, And I'm like.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Why why can't win a white girls there?

Speaker 5 (54:24):
Like?

Speaker 19 (54:24):
Why has it got to be her? Why are we
pitting she and I against each other?

Speaker 12 (54:28):
You know?

Speaker 19 (54:28):
So I'm like, no, there, there can be more of
us in these spaces without having to be Oh, there's
only one type and that's it.

Speaker 7 (54:36):
You had talked about your using a platform for stuff
like being able to talk about like fireboys and and
I thought it was interesting because you mentioned that you
weren't in like a dire situation where it's like you're
in pain. You had to you're just planning because you
want to have another kid potentially, right, Yeah, how you
feeling like today?

Speaker 13 (54:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (54:52):
I feel really good today.

Speaker 19 (54:54):
I'm just glad that I was able to talk about
that publicly because you know, I don't know why it
is that when we talk about reproductive health, especially for
black women, it's like this point of shame. Yeah, you know,
it's like I don't know how many people sent me
messages commented on the post, like friends who were texting
me and being like, girl, I went through that last year.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
I'm like, why did I not know that?

Speaker 19 (55:16):
You know, It's like there's some strange shame that's associated
with it, as if like we're not good enough, or
that we're not whole women because you have fibroids and
you've got to get that removed in order.

Speaker 4 (55:28):
To reproduce at all.

Speaker 19 (55:30):
And so I'm just like, wait, but no, this is
a health issue, you know, and it's like if we
take care of that, we take care of ourselves, we
will be in better shape.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
And I don't know that there's any benefit to hiding
any of that.

Speaker 7 (55:41):
I think you also brought up a good conversation too,
because one of the things you said was like, I'm
not getting any younger, so I want to make these plans.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
Now, that's right.

Speaker 7 (55:48):
Have you been having conversations with those same people about,
you know, just you're not getting younger, but you do
want to have another camera.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
Yeah, yeah, that looks like for you and how you're
planning for that.

Speaker 19 (55:55):
Yeah, I mean, Killie and I of course talked about it,
you know, my daughter and I talk about it because well, they're.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
The two people who be impacted.

Speaker 19 (56:02):
I don't really care about anybody else's opinions, but for me,
it was really important to talk about the risks because
I did not have easy pregnancies in the past, and
so I wanted to make sure that I am in
the healthiest place that I can be. And again, thank
God that I'm in a position to have insurance and
you know, the access to healthcare, and we know what

(56:23):
black maternal health looks like.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
It is dire. Ye know, it's like we're dying at
a rate faster than everybody. So for me, it's like, look,
I wanted to.

Speaker 19 (56:31):
Be able to use the show to talk about health,
to talk about my reproductive health. And then also I
do think that there's a conversation to be had for
the corporate girls who've waited a long time to have
their babies get babies fifteen Yeah, right, exactly, you start
all over again, right now.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
Yeah, I would, and I think that there's a lot
of women who are doing that.

Speaker 13 (56:51):
You know.

Speaker 19 (56:51):
It's like, I like, I look at the majority of
my friends who are in their mid forties, and a
lot of them don't have children yet. Some of them
haven't gotten married yet either because they were focused on
their careers and didn't, you know, make that commitment, or
they didn't find partners who could manage their alphinus or
whatever the reason is. But who want families. And so

(57:13):
I'm like, again, there is no shame in that. It's
like you can say it out loud that I want
a baby or I want a family and then take
the steps to get it. I just think we should
remove the shame from it. So, yeah, I'm gonna be
an old ass mom, I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 7 (57:28):
I was gonna ask you mentioned marriage, Yeah, and now
know that you know you've been married before. Now you
and Kelly together, it seems like I saw y'all pictures
of your way.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
Is that going to be? Is that a conversation for y'all? Right, Yes,
it is a conversation.

Speaker 19 (57:40):
Well, because I want to have a family in a
nuclear unit, so I want to be married and then
have babies.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
So we got to see a engagement on the show
Girl talk to him. Question, that's been great than we
appreciate us?

Speaker 17 (57:56):
Boss?

Speaker 19 (57:56):
Oh yes, yes, yes, well so yes, like or not.
My hair has always been a topic of conversation in
my corporate career. I mean it's like when I did
the Apple keynote, I was the first black person to
present you know, technology on that stage, and half of
the tweets that night were about my hair.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
And I have always been an advocate.

Speaker 19 (58:15):
Of being able to use the laws and you know,
the rules that have been written, whether it's the Crown
Act or anything else which allows for you to be
fired or like you know, suspended from school if your
hair isn't straight or whatever, like those rules still exist
on the books and figure out like, well, how can
I celebrate that? How can I, you know, encourage us?
How can I make sure that like, yeah, if I

(58:37):
want to wear my hair any kind of way I want,
let me do it the way I want to do it.
And when I looked at the hair extension industry, eighty
percent of the consumer base as black women or.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
Women of color.

Speaker 19 (58:45):
Yet we don't have any ownership in manufacturing and distribution
and innovation.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
So I'm like, why is a lace white? Like I
could see your lace, yes, because it's white, you.

Speaker 17 (58:56):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
I'm like why.

Speaker 19 (58:58):
And look, you could go on YouTube or google it
and you'll find fourteen million videos of black women kitchen
chemists who are out here telling you how to lay
your lace and make the color like you.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
And I'm just like, why is that?

Speaker 19 (59:08):
So I went to China by myself and to the
biggest hair show in the world and just walked around
and ask questions. And then when I realized that, like,
oh wait, hold on, this is actually an industry that's
making a lot of money, but we're not anywhere in
the seats, I was like, well, I'm going to do
it myself. I'm going to get in there. So I
built a factory in Ghana, I started manufacturing and then
now I'm selling it.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Wow, So how did they buy some.

Speaker 19 (59:29):

Ohio State versus Notre Dame game Monday night, and when
he was there, he was you know you're there, your
team is doing good.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
He's excited. Let's take a listen.

be the biggest to ever come out of Columbus. And yo,
it sounds for your like bush the big ring on

I was supposed to be. Come on, bro, they like

type of money to even host up on the national stage.

Speaker 13 (01:01:11):

Columbus will ever forever be my city in my town

the city, then you big until if you don't do that,
shut up, don't talk.

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):

Speaker 7 (01:01:29):
Okay. He was excited as team was winning. He said
he did a million for the suite. You know what
I'm saying. He told everybody come back to my restaurant
after you from Ohio, even if you're not from Ohio,
come back.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
Everything is on me.

Speaker 5 (01:01:40):

(01:02:01):
on the biggest leveon.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
Bell don't want to talk to them.

Speaker 7 (01:02:04):
He want to talk to biw Wow because he got
online yesterday and he responded to bow Wow and.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
This is what he had to say.

Speaker 17 (01:02:10):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (01:02:10):
You say you have all this money and what did
you do with it?

Speaker 20 (01:02:13):
Bro?

Speaker 13 (01:02:14):
What did you do with it?

Speaker 25 (01:02:15):
Because you definitely ain't helping them. You definite ain't help
the city with it. You ain't open to a restaurant,
no recordation center, You ain't helped the kids. Like, what
did you actually do in the city?

Speaker 14 (01:02:24):
Bro?

Speaker 25 (01:02:24):
For you to say, hey, yeah, I'm the I'm the
king of the city. Like nobody as big as me
in the city.

Speaker 13 (01:02:29):
What'd you do? You ain't do no features with nobody
from Columbus And he was a big artist at one point.
You damn me were one of the biggest artis when
your little kid, bro.

Speaker 25 (01:02:35):
And you ain't do no features with no no Columbus artists, Bro, Bro,
I didn't have football camps every year when I was
in the league.

Speaker 17 (01:02:41):
Bro.

Speaker 25 (01:02:41):
I put a million dollars worth of turf in a
whole stadium in Columbus, Ohio, Bro and.

Speaker 13 (01:02:46):
Grow for the school. I went to about a whole
million dollar stadium. Bro, what have you done?

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
Now, Le'Veon Bell.

Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
I like that talk. I can't say that. I can't
say that what have you done for the community. I'm
not saying bow wow, have it. I'm just saying, but
if you're gonna talk money, don't talk about you know,
what's your cars and what you you know buy you know, superficiously.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
What are you actually doing for the community with that money?

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
I like that kind of talk. We need to have
more of that type of flex.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Well, it did get to there, and we're gonna get
to that.

Speaker 7 (01:03:10):
So then Levean went off about basically bow Wow not
even being bigger than him, not being from ah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
You take a listen to that.

Speaker 25 (01:03:17):
No, you're from Atlanta. You've been wrapping in Atlanta literally
since I've been hearing your music. I don't even even
know you were from Columbus. Now, look, it's crazy Ohio
state with a national championship.

Speaker 13 (01:03:28):
But everybody wanted to time to board April from the city.
You know you not Let's say Columbus a Columbus. Let's
say for the time being, for the tickets or your
big Columbus will accept this guy. Do you think you're
bigger than me? Bro? Cause you meet a reality check?

Speaker 17 (01:03:40):
Real.

Speaker 13 (01:03:41):
Yeah, you had a nice little rap career, but obviously
that's up in the air at gone rap career done.
We know that I'm probably bigger rapper to you right now.

Speaker 7 (01:03:49):
Why would be playing with It's like the minute you
try to come for a boy got play with his
music and his rap career.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
He had a big career. He didn't have a little career,
was a big deal. That's Nola and can we please
also too?

Speaker 7 (01:04:01):
I feel like if you didn't know that bow Wow
was from Ohio because he said in almost every song
at one point, that's your fault.

Speaker 12 (01:04:05):
Not his.

Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
That's like good listen.

Speaker 8 (01:04:06):
I understand why he said that because a lot of
people thought bow Wows from Atlanta, even though if you
follow Bao, he does say Columbus, but he also Atlanta too.

Speaker 7 (01:04:13):
Nobody he does not Atlanta because it's so that. But
who thought bow I was from not from Ohio? He
always said he was from Ohio.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
I always thought was from Columbus, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
They always said Columbus, but he reaped Atlanta to But
like people just love to.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
Play with him and they know what the trigger him too.
It's always a little rap career. You not from here.

Speaker 7 (01:04:30):
This is the first time, though, I think I've ever
heard somebody tell about he's not from Ohio.

Speaker 8 (01:04:33):
Bow I repped both because he was on growing up Atlanta.
Like bow Wow is known for Columbus and he's known
from Atlanta.

Speaker 7 (01:04:39):
I don't like it when people if y'all can't tell
them about It led to a great conversation though, because
bow Wow and Le'Veon Bell both posted a screenshot of
them on FaceTime and it's sparked conversation between the two.
The caption of this of the face of the screenshot says,
had a great talk. It's amazing what a little communication
can do. Big plans in the future to bring to

(01:05:00):
the city together, nothing but respect.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Yeah, that's what I like.

Speaker 5 (01:05:05):
That's why I like the conversation le've Yon Bell was happening,
Like what are you doing for the community?

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Like what have you done? That's what I like to hear.

Speaker 8 (01:05:10):
You know, some Simone Boles is from Columbus, Oia. I
didn't know that Lotto was born in Columbus, Oia.

Speaker 5 (01:05:17):
From Columbus and money y'all figure some on. That's not
like Okay, I know I said less West than the
NISI York. That's the true money wise, but ain't none
of y'all biggest the more boss.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Just want y'all to know that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Who knew that?

Speaker 10 (01:05:29):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
I didn't know that either.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
About that?

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Look it up my website.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
I don't even know where you're from, so I should
ask you. You won't claim Dominican for nothing?

Speaker 7 (01:05:38):
I am black ill we said black people don't do
We said, well you could be either or so you
go go twice?

Speaker 13 (01:05:44):
Look it up?

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Where's she from? Where is some bios from Columbus, Ohio?

Speaker 13 (01:05:47):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
How long she lived there?

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
That's a good point. It's a good question now because.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
You know I don't know the answer to that question.
Oh oh yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:05:58):
M I don't know know she was from there, but
shout out to Columbus, Ohio.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Grew up in Texas stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:06:05):
I think it's if you didn't like middle school high school.
I don't know if you really count as from somewhere.
Going back to my original point, the biggest, bigger, don't
play with bowe Wow, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Don't play with Big bow Weezy respect, we respect by numbers,
we do all right, got something else he done?

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
Old enough to remember watching Bowe Wow on our Senio
Hall in real time you oh yes, and seventy eight
I remember on Hall with Snoop Dogg in real time.

Speaker 8 (01:06:39):
You know, I respect, respectful before he did the social
depth there right, uh yeah bye and b.

Speaker 7 (01:06:45):
Twok were my first music concert in Delaware. I want
the tickets on the radio. And when I went there,
I cried, I was I love yes, I love them.
So back then I think it was a scream scream,
it was something. But we had the airbrush shirts. I
want my cousins.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
I cry.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
It was a whole day.

Speaker 5 (01:07:01):
But just for the record, stop arguing about hoods that
you know you don't own no property in. Stop arguing
about hoods that you don't invest no money.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
In property or nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
I'm not saying they don't.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
That's the facts, all right. Well, Charloamann were giving a dunkey.

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
Two for after the hour. We need somebody to come
to the front of the congregation.

Speaker 5 (01:07:20):
His name is Nicholas Sabo, and not just him, his wife,
Because ladies y'all can learn something from this donkey of today.
And that's something is if you're going to order something
off goddamn uber eats an instacart, you need to let.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
The whole house know before somebody gets shot. We'll discuss.
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
It's the breakfast club.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
Good morning, you're checking out the breakfast club. Some donkey
days just saw himself, Charlotte Man ready for.

Speaker 5 (01:07:50):
I never heard them donkey other day, say it again, Charlama,
I'm a donkey, you are.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Everything and Searloe Man, the same is true.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
Yes, Donky Today for Thursday, January twenty third goes to
a forty three year old man named Nicholas Sabo, but
his wife has to share some of this he haul
with him too, because his wife put him in a
position that many men get put in. And I'll explain
after I tell you what happened to see, Nicholas was
arrested on a charge of recklessly endangering another person because
he shot somebody on his property. Now you know, I'm

(01:08:25):
two a all day, okay to a all day.

Speaker 5 (01:08:27):
I believe a black man owning a legal firearm in
this country is a former self care Okay. I think
that every family should own at least two firearms. Then
everyone in the house, man, woman and child who is
old enough should know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
How to shoot. Take your family to the range, because hey,
you'd never know.

Speaker 5 (01:08:44):
So with that said, why is Nicholas and his wife
getting the biggest sea hall because Nicholas shot someone on
his property.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
Well, let's go to WNP ABC sixteen for the report.

Speaker 11 (01:08:52):
Police a man face his charges after allegedly shooting a
delivery driver in Lakwana County. Please say, Nicholas Sabo shot
at a man delivering groceries to his home in Newton
Township on Saturday. Investigators say the driver was at the
correct address and Sabo's wife placed the order. The driver
was taken to the hospital is expected to be okay.

(01:09:13):
Sabo is charged with reckless endangerment.

Speaker 5 (01:09:16):
Only in America can delivering a bag of kale turn
into an action movie standoff? Okay, drop the Tropicana orange
juice or else. Listen to me, ladies, Uh, this is
the white's fault. When you order from UBI, each, Door Dash, Instacart,
whatever it is, always tell your husband, Okay, my brothers.
I don't know how y'all anxiety is set up, but
I got everything at my house. Door Bird Security cameras,

(01:09:36):
all types of very sensitive alarm systems. I got the
whole property under surveilance. And it's bad enough, ladies, that
you all use Amazon every damn day. Between Amazon FedEx ups,
there is always some scranger on the property.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
But the difference between them they usually.

Speaker 5 (01:09:49):
Be in a truck, so you know what it is
when you're ordering food and groceries, they come in non
descript cars.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
You looking at the camera like who is that?

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
How many times if you turned to your wife and
kids said turn to your wife kids and said order
something all the time, all the damn time, okay, and
until you hear him say yes, then you just gotta
assume the OPS is on your property.

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
Okay. That's why I can understand what Nicholas said. What
was thinking, ladies, kids?

Speaker 5 (01:10:12):
When you order food on any of these abstra groceries, uh,
you know, please tell the man in the house.

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:10:18):
But this is where the wife really gets the brunt
of this. He heard a wife is the one who
ordered the groceries. But the wife is also the one
who received the alert from the home security camera that
movement had been detected near the garage and she thought
someone was trying to break into a utility trailer on
their property. Now listen, I'm glad that Nicholas has a
partner that's just as paranoid as him. But come on,

(01:10:40):
miss lady, you can't forget that you ordered insta cart
at a time like this. Okay, do you not understand
everyone is on edge and everyone at this moment is
preset to wish your mother for wood? Okay, everybody is
in wishing mother for wood mold.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:10:55):
We are in a constant state of fight, flight or fire,
ah in these United States of anxiety, and Nicholas chose
the fire because you gotta understand. When your alarm goes
off and then someone in your house, especially your wife,
says she thinks someone is trying to break into something.
When you go to grab your pistol and go outside,

(01:11:16):
you're already thinking it show hime.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
Okay, you not there to negotiate.

Speaker 5 (01:11:20):
With this supposed intruder because you already believe they up
to no good and you don't know what their intentions are.

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
Yes, you can be so paranoid.

Speaker 5 (01:11:29):
Your anxiety can get the best of you so much
that you can turn two day shipping into a two
minute shooting all right. Poor Instacot driver just came over
to deliver packages and almost ended up a pack all
because he was trying to figure out if the eggs
go on the punch or the front steps.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
There was no verbal confrontation or nothing, just fire shot
him in the lake. Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:11:50):
The wife ordered the groceries, the husband ordered the chaos,
all because it was poor communication on the delivery instructions.
You have to read the fine print when you're ordering things. Okay,
you can give people special instructions on where to take
and leave things. Poor guy just trying to make an
honest living delivering Instacart and get shot right. He ran
back to this vehicle where his wife and child was

(01:12:11):
waiting for him. He drove off and called down one one.
That man could have been murdered. He could have woke
up dead somewhere to day, simply because of miscommunication. And
Nicholas has been charged with recklessly endangering another person and
he could face more charges, all because his wife simply forgot.
Maybe we need security alerts that remind us, like movement

(01:12:34):
detected danger or just dinner. What do you even say
to your husband after this?

Speaker 3 (01:12:40):
Please give Nicholas sayble and his wife, the sweet sounds
of the Hamiltons.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Oh no, you are the dog gee of the day,
the dog gee.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
All the day.

Speaker 13 (01:12:57):
Ye.

Speaker 5 (01:13:01):
If you thought the price of groceries was high, wait
till you see that bell. And wait do you see
how much it cost to pay for a lawyer? All
because your wife simply didn't tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
That she ordered groceries. It's messed up, but I understand.

Speaker 4 (01:13:13):
I'm glad the guy is Okay, though.

Speaker 3 (01:13:16):
I messed up, but it's understanding.

Speaker 8 (01:13:18):
But that's that's the first process at my house is
when I hear something I had. Everybody did y'all order food?
They should tell your person all eat all that, and
then when they say no, then I can know I
can get action. Nobody who is your uber eats here? Okay,
that's your guy? Like yeah, because I'm nervous.

Speaker 7 (01:13:35):
Nobody got hurt through that one liner that you said.
It would have been good. You said, the wife ordered
the groceries, the husband ordered the chaos. If nobody got hurt,
that would have been like a that was cute, the
chaos and somebody hurt. I know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
If nobody got hurt, it just would have been cute.

Speaker 3 (01:13:46):
It's like I think it was cute. It ghos, he
didn't die.

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
Okay, something about the my man never mind that.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
Turns you on.

Speaker 4 (01:13:53):
I was like, I wrote that down.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
Don't get your gun. Oh he got a gun?

Speaker 15 (01:13:57):
Girl?

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
No, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
He just shot the instacart driver.

Speaker 8 (01:14:02):
Because, like you said, they'll be coming to non descriptive
cars all dark. Now that's right, all right, Well thank
you for that, donkey.

Speaker 5 (01:14:09):
What the husband was thinking though, when you went outside
and he just saw this person with a handful of groceries,
you still got to shoot.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Right, because yeah, but that's nothing. He had groceries.

Speaker 7 (01:14:16):
But you never know because people be pulling up with
deliveries and it pushed their way into your house.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
I never heard them saying that.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
Probably looks strange if your wife is like, you think
somebody trying to break in the utility trailers and you
outside and he's standing there with avocados and spring water
and you're like.

Speaker 3 (01:14:26):
Oh my god, what the hell.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
Avocados in spring water?

Speaker 7 (01:14:29):
I'm just saying Mountain Valley. Maybe I'm glad he's okay, though, Now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
If he had a plan, you would have shot right.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
Oh, you're just nasty.

Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
Silence.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
If you saw him with an egg plant, you want
to man, can I can I have it?

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
I'll eat it raw? What you would even chop it
up for nothing? When we come back, definitely Rose, when
we come back. He's running for governor of New Jersey.
Is nasty, Okay, so my best egg plan eater right there.

(01:15:11):
The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 13 (01:15:15):
Morning.

Speaker 8 (01:15:15):
Everybody is dj Envy, Jess, Hilarius, Charlamagne, the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club Long the Rosa filling in for Jess.
We got a special guest in the building, Governor Morocca Hey.
He's running for governor. Ladies and gentlemen, Ross Baraka, welcome, brother,
thank you, thank you. Glad to be here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
So you're gonna put your hat in this race? And
what makes you want to run for governor?

Speaker 14 (01:15:36):
I already did. I think it's time, man. I mean
we have a very short window. I don't think we
get an opportunity to do this anymore. There's a crowded feel.
It's an opportunity for African American kid from the city
of nork Uh to make New Jersey live up to
its democratic values, to build a broad based coalition, to
really respond to the issues we deal with in the
city every day that I think a state wide issues.

(01:15:56):
This was a housing, unemployment, safety, uh, the affordability of
the state being too expensive for most folks in New Jersey.
We deal with those things. Every problem New Jersey got.
We got it twice in Newark. But whatever we grappling
with the state is doing it. And if we're mitigating
those problems in Newark, we can certainly do it in
the state. And if the state is better, Newark is better.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
So what are some things you'll be able to do
as governor that you aren't right now capable of doing?

Speaker 9 (01:16:19):
Is myth?

Speaker 14 (01:16:19):
Help build more affordable housing across the state of New Jersey,
which makes it easier for folks like folks in Newark
who are trying to get in housing. So we started
twenty percent affordability and all development in the city. The
state followed suit and did the same thing. So now
there's not one hundred people on the waiting list, it's
five thousand people on the waiting list because New Jersey
is in it. And now we can't discriminate against where

(01:16:39):
you come from across the state, which means we need
more affordable housing in a state we need workforce housing.
We can do that, right, we can help reduce the violence,
not just in Newark, but also Camden and Trenton, right
in Jersey City and places like that. To begin to
create an environment in the city or in the state
that is conducive to business, conducive to grow, helping families.

Speaker 13 (01:16:58):
Grow and be safe.

Speaker 14 (01:16:59):
We can do that and bring more business to the
state of New Jersey. We've brought them to Newark, so
we could bring them to the state. You know, I
think we uniquely qualified. Most of these other folks that
are running have never done, have no receipts of doing
anything except for being in the Democratic Party. To them,
I mean that gives them the privilege. The party picks
them and puts them in front of people and say
this is who you're supposed to vote for.

Speaker 13 (01:17:18):
I'm tired of that.

Speaker 17 (01:17:18):
You know.

Speaker 13 (01:17:19):
We got to mix it up.

Speaker 5 (01:17:20):
Yeah, I love Newark, Man, and you know, you've done
some amazing things in Newark, Man Broka.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
One thing I want to talk about is Newark. They
experienced a sixty.

Speaker 5 (01:17:29):
Percent decrease in the violent crime right, and a lot
of times, you know, they say that in cities, but
you don't see it in Newark compared to where Newark was,
you know, a decade ago, you can see that Newark is.

Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
You know, it's a lot safer than it was. Not
saying it's perfect, but it's a lot safer than it was.
How did you do that?

Speaker 14 (01:17:48):
Well, we created an ecosystem officer violence prevention, trump Recovery,
brick city peace collectives. In that essence, we brought in
community based organizations to partner with the police, which the
police started doing really intelligence based policing, but we bought
bruckers on to kind of identify with crime, what's happening that,
with violence, what was happening that. For example, they told
us all the bodega's in the city where violence happened

(01:18:10):
in one hundred feet up and gave us some data
point that said if we turned the lights on in
this area, it will reduce violent crime about thirty four
percent if we put lights on in this area.

Speaker 13 (01:18:19):
So we did those things right.

Speaker 14 (01:18:20):
We put community people in those communities to deal with
high risk interventions, deal with folks that were trying to
retaliate kids that are getting out of jail, meeting them
immediately like yo, this, we need you to get involved
in this and do this give them opportunity and we
have a I want to thank like New Direction, you
know one hood organizations like that that work with us
in the city, that do very very dangerous work in

(01:18:42):
these communities, trying to reduce the temperature, like they say,
reduce the temperature.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
I was going to ask congestion pricing. What's your take
on congestion pricing? Does it help, does it hurt? How
does it affect? Especially in New Jersey, A.

Speaker 14 (01:18:53):
Bunch of rich bureaucrats fighting with each other about things
that work in people have no knowledge of the reality.
I think the objective is right that obviously the environment
and congestion is a problem. I think going at it
this way is an issue. And that's usually what the
problem is in the state House and governments because most

(01:19:13):
of these people's making these decisions, make decisions based on
a small frame of reference, on a small circle, and
they're not bringing people in, regular working folks in to
weigh in and on what they're trying to do. You're
not bringing the fire guy in who lives in the
outer boroughs, who gotta work in Manhattan every single day,
that's gonna have to pay that. You're not you know,
working class people in New Jersey. You have to drive

(01:19:35):
here to go to work. We don't make a whole
lot of money that you're at. You're hitting them over
the head again and again and again. You're driving people
away from the party, driving away from government. They're becoming
more cynical because they think that these guys are making
decisions that are hurting them. They don't care about all
of the big issues you're talking about because you're hurting
my pockets. I don't got no money as it is.
Ain't gonna take more of my money. This doesn't make sense,

(01:19:56):
So we have to figure it out. Now they say, oh,
we need to do reverse congestion at that. Yeah, I
think it's ridiculous, right, I think these are just political
people throwing volleys at each other in the newspaper, trying
to get video and in airtime, you know, trying to
get earned media about this stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:20:12):
The reality is none of that. It's gonna fix the problem.

Speaker 14 (01:20:14):
Like, if you want to deal with congestion, you want
to deal with the issues people have, and you need
to get on the ground and talk to folks about
how to really solve this problem. And if you're raising
money for MTA, off the backs of working class people.
I think that's wrong, and we need to figure out
how to do that in a better way right doesn't
hurt working class folks.

Speaker 5 (01:20:31):
I want you to expand on that. That's a problem
that I feel like just Democrats have is with their messaging.
But you say you got something that you say. We
say politicians can't make policy for people they can't see.
They can't solve problems they don't know exist. And I
say that all the time in regard to politicians because
they talk about people they never talk too.

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
So how can politicians do a better job of it?

Speaker 14 (01:20:51):
They got to get out of there, go to the barbershop,
the beauty parlor, the thrift store, the lounge, the bar.

Speaker 13 (01:20:57):
They gotta talk to folks where they at.

Speaker 14 (01:20:59):
You know, right now now people are picking people for
people and you know, sarrogates are running out convincing people
to vote for you, and you're not going in front
of people talking and having conversations with them. And that's
the real problem, Like you don't know these people, like
you don't know the parent that has an eight year old,
seven year old and a four year old got to
go to work, leave them home at the house, try
to get their neighbors to check on them because she
can't afford childcare. Right, And then you know, the child

(01:21:22):
finds a gun and shoots himself, and everybody talking bad
about her, but not about the economy that's the richest
in the world, that does not allow folks to find
childcare that they can afford. So now she has to
make a decision, right, or the fact that I can't
pay my rent because I'm buying Christmas gifts and I
wait for my income tax to come in so to
level up on my rent. But I want to buy
Christmas gifts. I don't know these people. I don't have

(01:21:42):
conversations with these people, so the policies I make are
not going to address them. For example, New Jersey fighting
over a policy for five hundred for seniors that make
five hundred thousand dollars to give them tax breaks. You know,
my grandmother is in a nursing home, trying to figure
out how to pay the nursing home, how to pay
medicine right, how to do all the very specific things.
She don't got a home here in, a home in

(01:22:03):
the Hamptons, and a home in Florida. But we don't
see these people, so you can't make policy for them.
So those people get pissed out. And the problem is
those are the majority.

Speaker 7 (01:22:10):
Of the people, and for you, somebody that is with
the people, right, even when something like the congestive pricing
happens with the tolls and stuff, when people are talking
to you, how do you what are you instantly trying
to do to help them? Because a lot of people
I know that are in Jersey, You're like, well, especially
us that aren't from there, and we moved there thinking
it was better for us to commute.

Speaker 4 (01:22:27):
We like, dang, we might as well move into New
York now.

Speaker 7 (01:22:29):
But then that goes against what you're trying to do
with bringing people to Jersey and getting these companies to
invest in it. Like, how do you start to solve
that problem before us leaving Jersey becomes a problem.

Speaker 14 (01:22:38):
I think what the governor is trying to do is
he's still keeping it in court, trying to raise the
issue of it so it can be reversed. I mean,
he went as far as wrote a letter to Donald Trump.
I don't know how far this is going to go,
but ultimately we have to keep it on people's mind
that can continue to have the discussion about it to
see if we can repeal it in some way. We
can't just allow it to sit like that to Yay

(01:23:00):
or somebody else. Has to figure out how to compensate
people or give them an opportunity to reduce the what
it's going to cost, the burden to go back and
forth to the city who were forced to go there,
not just going there because they trying to go shopping.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
All right, we got more of a rads Baraka. When
we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
morning morning everybody. It's dj n V.

Speaker 8 (01:23:20):
Jess Hilarrys Charlamage the guy we are the Breakfast Club,
Laura Larroossa filling in for Jess.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
We're still kicking him with rods Baraka. Now, did you
go to inauguration?

Speaker 17 (01:23:28):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
You did not go. No, we actually put out a
statement talking about Trump's first day.

Speaker 14 (01:23:33):
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't have went there. I mean it
was crazy. I mean all all the things he did,
I mean he said he was going to do so,
I mean it's crazy. He attacked birthrights, citizenship, got rid
of diversity, equity and inclusion, fired everybody, got.

Speaker 13 (01:23:45):
Rid Office of viox Prevention, I went to the website.
It's gone.

Speaker 14 (01:23:49):
You know, just all of the things that we need
to continue to do what we're doing in the state
of New Jersey and Newark. He just attacked and got
rid of partnered to all of those people, straight out
white supremacist, dangerous folks that he let loose. I don't
know why anybody, they right mind thought it that he
wouldn't do any of these things.

Speaker 13 (01:24:05):
But he did it right. And you know, people tell
you who they are, like they said, believe them.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
Another thing I love that you've done in Newark is
the homelessness program, because you've helped to cut Newark's homelessness
in half.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
What have y'all gotten the right that a lot of
people around the country haven't.

Speaker 14 (01:24:20):
Well, we have street teams, and our street teams we
just expanded it to twenty four hours a day because
they do so good, you know, and the state just
witnessed the uptick twenty four percent this year, I mean
the end of last year, and we got a little
uptick too, but because we had reduced at fifty seven percent,
were still down. You know, our street teams go out
there through path home, we talked to folks, we get

(01:24:40):
them off the street, and we're being more creative about
like we created housing out of containers, right, we took
the container ship and containers and we build housing out
of ship and containers, which which was successful to us.
We just went to the housing authority, took two hundred
of their units that they weren't using, that was abandoned,
and we're investing in fixing those up so we could
use them as transit homes for folks that are off

(01:25:01):
the street. So we have flexes to put people when
we pull them off off the corners. And we're just
very very very deliberate and intentional through our street team.
About that, about that work.

Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
Talk about the path home with you you be speeding
through stuff, never rocket because you do. Actually you're one
of the elected officials. I can actually say, yo, that
guy out there, he does doesn't work and you can
see it reflected in the city.

Speaker 3 (01:25:21):
What is the path home?

Speaker 14 (01:25:22):
Path home is like we say housing first, So we
talk to people on the street until they comfortable coming
with us to go places, so they know. Our street
team know most of the homeless people in Newark by name,
where they live at, so what and so on what
street day, on what corner they end what tent day
under so they continue to talk to them, right, and
then we have a cell phone thing text path home

(01:25:43):
eight five five on one path path home to that
and the guys that go out there and engage these
folks right and make sure and it's just not regular people.
You know, you have a drug counselor's there, you have
a psychiatrist there, you have social workers there, you have regular.

Speaker 13 (01:25:58):
Street team folks there.

Speaker 14 (01:25:59):
So it's a whole team of people that go out
and bring mobile units to the folks where they are
and begin to try to convince them and pull them
into housing right. And sometimes they don't come right away,
but the first you know, we keep going, keep going,
keep going.

Speaker 13 (01:26:11):
It was the lady told the.

Speaker 14 (01:26:12):
Story that it took the folks three or four times
to talk to her before she said I'm going, you know,
but but she finally went, and she gave a testimony
how it turned her change her life around because they
kept being persistent about hey, we come in here, we
go again. You know, so food we're just not giving
you food. We try to give you help support, get
you off the street. A lot of people come and
give out food and it makes them feel good for

(01:26:34):
that moment. But the person need more than food, right
They need a house, they need treatment, they need counseling,
and we try to bring all of that to the
folks and bring them into housing when we can. All
we have to do is keep building housing so people
could come in to have a place to go because
there's no place for us to put them. Then these
street teams that become useless.

Speaker 8 (01:26:53):
Now when you become governor, because you know we're gonna
put that in the air. What's the first thing you
want to do for the people in New Jersey? What's
the what's your first attack? I think we need to
get the budget in order first.

Speaker 14 (01:27:01):
I think is out of control and we need to
one cut spending, cut costs, make the wealthy paid their fairshere.

Speaker 13 (01:27:06):
That's number one.

Speaker 14 (01:27:07):
We need to invest in the economy by building housing
next to transit all over the state.

Speaker 13 (01:27:11):
Need to put thousands of people to work.

Speaker 14 (01:27:14):
Turn it into a public works project, the same way
we did the Less service line. Put thousands of people
to work in the economy. Get the building trades to
give us a price for affordable housing and tell them
they can make up on the volume what they're going
to miss out on what we reduce in the price build.

Speaker 13 (01:27:29):
Ten thousand and fifteen thousand units up front.

Speaker 14 (01:27:32):
Right, we need to take our procurement dollars and invest
in black and brown communities immediately, to South Asian communities,
women businesses. The state of New Jersey spends less than
one percent of his dollars in those communities.

Speaker 13 (01:27:43):
Now, we got to turn that around, because.

Speaker 14 (01:27:45):
To me, that is why the economy doesn't grow. I mean,
you know, you can't have an exclusive economy and expect
it to grow. There's a whole bunch of communities that
need to be engaged in the economy that.

Speaker 13 (01:27:55):
We're leaving out.

Speaker 14 (01:27:56):
The Latino populational business community represent twenty percent of the
work force in New Jersey. That's on their own merit,
that's without any investment, without any support from the state.
We got to put money in those communities and watch
those communities grow. Hire people, you hire more people, We
have to pay them less unemployed employment. We get them
opportunity to get homes, they can pay taxes, and then

(01:28:16):
you will be crying less about the taxes you pay
because they'll be helping you pay them. Right, invest in
those communities asap. And that's that's what we do in
the first one hundred days.

Speaker 5 (01:28:26):
Well, how how will lions Gate impact New It and
how will the Netflicks impact just Jersey as a whole,
like both of them.

Speaker 14 (01:28:32):
Well, lions Gates will help a community, a neighborhood that's
been distressed for a very very long time. And when
they come there, the airport is already building a stop
there by there so people could get on the train
to get to the airport, So that that's gonna be awesome.
And because those students are there, obviously they're going they're
gonna be retail that's gonna pop up there.

Speaker 13 (01:28:50):
Because people have to eat, they need to do these things.

Speaker 14 (01:28:52):
They're gonna get their they don't do whatever, so they're
gonna Obviously the retail is going to grow there, and
it's gonna do something about the housing market as well,
because the housing Authority is already talking about investing in
the housing in that community. So I see a shot
in the arm happening for the economy in that area.
And obviously the state that region is going to benefit
from it. Once you put the train stop there, you know,

(01:29:12):
people could get on the air tram from there. It's
going to create incredible opportunity for that neighborhood and for
the Elizabeth and all of the cities that are attached
to it.

Speaker 13 (01:29:20):
In that reason, what.

Speaker 5 (01:29:21):
About the cannabis industry, because you know, we opened up
a Pashtoria in Newark, myself and Rae Coon the chef
and car sellers.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
What about the cannabis industry.

Speaker 13 (01:29:28):
I think it's a I mean, we got to do
better in New Jersey. Let me say that.

Speaker 14 (01:29:32):
You know, I just think the bureaucracy is too much
and the cost of cannabis putting it together in New
Jersey is hired in places like Pennsylvania and other places
like that, that we have to work out those price
lower that stuff, make it competitive in our state, and
cut a lot of the red tape so more these
things can happen faster than it's happening now. And lean
into making sure that black and brown and underrepresented community

(01:29:53):
so with victimized have a bigger portion of what's happening here.
That we have to do this deliberately, like New Jersey
is they want to do the right think that it's
afraid to do it out loud, you know what I mean.
So you got a whole bunch of people. If you say, oh,
black people are suffering, they'll raise their hand.

Speaker 13 (01:30:06):
I agree with that.

Speaker 14 (01:30:07):
They say, oh, we should do something about it. Their
hands don't go out, you know. So that's that's really
what the difference is. So we we have to lean
into like, look, this we notice is the problem.

Speaker 13 (01:30:17):
You agree with it.

Speaker 14 (01:30:17):
We need to fix it. We can't charge this amount
of money. There has to be carve outs for certain
people in certain communities, and we have to grow it
faster than what's happening.

Speaker 13 (01:30:25):
I just think it's taking too long.

Speaker 5 (01:30:26):
Well, come see us at hash story of seven nine
nine Broad Street in New I need you to have
the chief of police just do a little sweep in
front of the store.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Though. Oh yeah, a lot of a lot of entrepreneurs
be out there, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 13 (01:30:35):
We had a discussion about that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
It's very like our customers pull up and they be
trying to get their own sales.

Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
Drop a diamond.

Speaker 7 (01:30:48):
Deal with the people that be outside his story. He
can drop tell four bags so that he can increase
their revenue. Maybe you should talk to those brothers and
see what they're trying to do and how hair story
you can.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
Talk to them.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
They try to get me. We we got to give
me nothing? Or what is the election?

Speaker 6 (01:31:02):
What?

Speaker 18 (01:31:02):
What?

Speaker 12 (01:31:02):
What?

Speaker 13 (01:31:02):
When?

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
Mass talked to me.

Speaker 7 (01:32:17):
All right, y'all. So we talked about my wife star
Natalie Didnado. And remember we were saying that she was missing. Well,
there is an update, according to TMZ, who says that
they spoke to her mother, Denise Fuco, Natalie is not
missing anymore. She has been found safe and sound, although
allegedly her identification all of her identification cards have been stolen,

(01:32:38):
so she is at the time of the report earlier
this morning, she was still in Vegas. Her family's just
happy that they found her. They still don't know what
happened to her and what all of the missing, the
flights and all that good bad stuff, not good stuff,
but all that stuff was about. But right now their
priorities just to get her home. So they're going to
get her home. They'll figure out all that stuff, and
the issue is that she doesn't have that identification identification,
but the airline will work with you if you can

(01:32:59):
idea yourself another way, So you know, happy that she
was found and she should be able to make it home.
Another quick update Wendy Williams. So after we did the
interview with Wendy Williams here on the Breakfast Club, there
was a lot that happened following it. A lot of
good things are happening on the go fundme for anyone
who has visited to go fundme donated to go fund me.
First of all, I know Wendy's family can say thank

(01:33:22):
you for that. There has been over thirty seven thousand
dollars raised and their goal is fifty k.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
Well, Wendy says thank you for that.

Speaker 7 (01:33:29):
Yes, Wendy says thank you for that. Yes, And this
go fundme is in support of Wendy Williams fight for
her independence. Now, there was an update posted to the
go fundme on the twenty first of January, and that
says we will officially be retaining the law firm of
Swartz in Greenberg at List to represent Alex Finny. Alex
Finnie is Wendy's niece who was also joined us here
on the show, and Wendy was here or Wendy called

(01:33:50):
in to petition the court to address all issues pertaining
to Wendy Williams guardianship. These lead attorneys, who I'm told
are very high profile attorneys, Jason Atlas and Brett Newsomb.
Well they're in the early stages from what I'm being
told of being retained and that retainer a twenty k
retainer which is listed here on the go fundme.

Speaker 4 (01:34:08):
The GoFundMe will be used for that.

Speaker 7 (01:34:10):
And people may yeah for attorney fees, Well, why does
Alex need an attorney whatever, whatever, But you have to have,
you know, people that are also able to help Wendy
speak and navigate different things as you figure out what
life is going to be like if she is released
from this you know what I mean, this conservativeship situation,
not if or when she is really when she is released,
you still want to have some proper care. You know,

(01:34:30):
Wendy has a whole life she has to now plan
you know, financial stuff, living stuff, and Alex has been
by her side. So bringing the attorneys and will help
them navigate all that. Just make sure that Alex has
the support that she needs as a person speaking for Wendy. Now,
I thought that this was funny also too. In the update,
Wendy gave her own update from Wendy to her fans.
She said, today's January twenty. First, I have a pink
versop she robe and victorious secret black bra on and

(01:34:52):
I am watching botched, but my body is hidden and
holding with my red lipstick because it's winter still here
in this luxury prison. Keep all of you updated. I
didn't think that's ready, Wendy and the ressatts. He rode
the Victoria's secret the red lip very much, Wendy. So yeah,
Wendy is saying thank you guys for all of the support,
and there will be more updates there soon, and we'll
make sure that we keep you guys locked right here

(01:35:13):
on the breakfast clubs to make sure you guys be
tuning on in absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
What about the legislation, Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:35:19):
Thank you for that reminder. So another movement that has happened.
The day when we were in here, we talked a
lot about needing to get lawmakers involved, right because Wendy
Williams and a lot of things that she's facing. We
learned that day that she's not the only one going
through it. So there's actually a lawmaker that came out
and basically said, I'm sorry, there's a Senator SO Senator

(01:35:41):
Anthony Palumbo and New York State Senator told TMZ following
our interview that he is reintroducing a piece of legislation
that will help to change guardianship laws regarding family visitation
in the state. Now, according to him, there's something called
Carolyn's Law, and it will allow families to visit loved
ones by filing a motion with the court. Now, the
guardian wants this is filed, would have ten days to

(01:36:03):
show the court if the person that is trying to
visit displays any inappropriate conduct, and if not, they can visit.
So it basically wouldn't be just up to the guardian
to say, oh, well, we need to keep you safe
from ABC and D and these people are not safe,
you can't see them. It would actually be like the
family can say, hey, we're safe, we should be able
to go and visit, and the court would be in
the middle of it. So there's a you know, checks

(01:36:24):
and balances that would be in the conversation that the
law is.

Speaker 5 (01:36:28):
Actually designed to ensure family members have a legal path
to visit a loved one under guardianship.

Speaker 4 (01:36:34):
Yes, yep, exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:36:35):
So that's great news to hear and he says that
he's actually been following Wendy's case for some years now
and that her being locked up in the apartment is tragic.
And he goes on to say that even if like
this is not what he's saying is happening, But he says,
even if Wendy's memory was failing, because the guardianship is
trying to leisure she has dementia, she should still be
allowed to be with her family instead of forcibly separating
her from them.

Speaker 4 (01:36:55):
So she wanted to make that clear. So that all
good stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:36:59):
And now that's good because that's a law that's going
to apply to everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:37:03):
Yes, yep.

Speaker 7 (01:37:03):
And like I said, there were so many people that
were calling. I got dms on Instagram, just people that
were like, yo, we've been through this. Yeah, and they
don't have Wendys you know what I mean, like when
he has a lot of friends in places, but they
don't have that. So this can help people that this
is gonna be a trickle down effects.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
