Speaker 8 (03:48):
So President Trump hosted a reception at the White House
honoring Black History Month yesterday. So during the event, Trump
claimed he received more votes from black Americans than any
other Republican president ever, while jokingly asking the crowd he
should run again.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Now.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
The ceremony comes as the administration has been cracking down
on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, with Trump issuing an
executive order last month ending the federal government's DEI programs.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Now.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Following that that order, the Department of Defense also came
out with guidance declaring Identity months dead, so there will
be no Pride Month, no Black History Month. But Trump
was joined on stage by golf legend Tiger Woods as
a as well as several prominent black.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Tiger Woods stop being black. I thought Tiger Wood never
wanted to be black. I thought he was comblination. Yo.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
They said, if he blame, why can't be black?
Speaker 9 (04:34):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Okay, So Tiger Woods was there, Several other black prominent
figures were there.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Supposedly Kodak Black.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Kodak was there.
Speaker 10 (04:43):
Koa q.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
I was gonna say he pardoned them. So there's that.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
But let's take a listen to Trump's remarks during the
Black History Months ceremony at the White House.
Speaker 11 (04:53):
Today, we paid tribute to the generations of black legends, champions, warriors,
and patriots who helped drive our country forward to greatness.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And you really are.
Speaker 11 (05:03):
Great, great people, What a great, nice group of I.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Have some people in front of me every once in
a while, with.
Speaker 11 (05:11):
All the problems that are caused all over the world.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
They're not nice.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
They're not nice, but we're making but we're making them nice,
I can tell you that. And we're making them nice rapidly.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
What making them nice and making them nice rapidly.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
So during his speech, he also spoke about the Garden
of Heroes, which is located along the National Mall, saying
the space will be the new home to statues, bus plaques,
and other markers celebrating heroic figures in American history. Of course,
that includes some iconic black figures that t hear more
from Trump on the Garden of Heroes.
Speaker 11 (05:45):
The garden will predominantly feature incredible women like Harriet Tubman,
Rosa Parks, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, and Coretta Scott King,
and I will showcase extraordinary. It will be something very extraordinary.
It's gonna be producing. We're going to produce some of
(06:06):
the most beautiful works of art in the form of
a statue for men like Frederick Douglas, Booker, T. Washington,
Jackie Jackie Robinson. What a great athlete that was, Martin
Luther King Jr. Muhammad Ali usually not a bad athlete.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
What do you think?
Speaker 11 (06:23):
Muhammad not too bad? And the late Kobe Bryant. People
love Colby.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
You guys his thoughts.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
All right.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
So that's the Black History Month ceremony at the White House.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Uh so this comes at the same time the wild
White House is marking one month officially since President Trump
has been back in office. Officials touted accomplishments in immigration
and the economy achieved by Trump since its inauguration. Let's
hear more from White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt and
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller with more
(07:03):
comments about the president's first month in office.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Today marks one month of President Trump's return to the
oval office, and there is no denying this administration is
off to a historic start.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
No president comes close to what Donald Trump has achieved
over just the last thirty days. He has packed eight
years of transformative action, restoring this nation, restoring our laws,
restoring fairness, restoring economic opportunity, restoring national security.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Restoring is relative depending on who you are.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
But the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett and CEO
said CEO confidence is that it's highest it's been in years.
National Security Advisor Mike Walls also noted that the US
has been in a c change in its foreign policy
since Trump's return to office. So what do you guys think.
I mean, it's been a month. We've seen a lot.
There's been a lot of executive orders that have come down.
(07:57):
A lot of those have also been blocked.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's just been a lot of chaos and a lot
of mess over the past month, especially in regards to
what Dolge is doing. But you know what, you asked
us something earlier, You asked us what we thought about, uh,
his White House? What it was? It was the honoring
Black Christry month with the White House, and it did
just come to me. I'm not impressed by any of
that symbolism from any president, regardless of what party they're from. Democrat,
are Republican, like the statues you know in the garden.
(08:23):
That's cool, but I want something. I always want something
tangible for the black community, like plant some money trees
in the black community, plant some money trees in the hood.
That's what That's what my mind is always at when
it comes to when you ask me that. That's why
I was just like, I don't. I don't think anything
of it because I'm never impressed by symbolism from any party,
just statues. Okay, I'm not mad at the statues though,
(08:43):
I'm not mad at that, but that ain't what is that?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay. The reason I say I'm not mad at that
is is because if you are ever a child and
you got to tour the White House, you never seen
anything that looked like you. So the fact that you've
seen people that look like you in statues and the
fact that they have Barack Obama and Michelle Obama and
things that look like you, that that reflect where you're from.
I'm not mad at sure, but.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I always want something more for the black community. I
want something tangible. I want you. I want something that's
really going to improve our condition.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And I hope them black kids get there. Because he
don't like to include us and things. You remember, he's
getting ready of DEI everywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And you know, like I said, plants some money trees,
and plants some money trees in the hood, like give
us something tangible that can actually improve our condition. Like
I always say, it was systemic things that you know,
put you know, Black people in the position that we're in.
And it's gonna be systemic things that help us to
get out. So that's where my mind is always that,
regardless of who's in the White House.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
All right, And as far as the first thirty days,
Jasmine Cracker to be here next hour, and I'm sure
she'll break down. The first thirty days is very true.

What's up?
Speaker 17 (14:35):
Brother?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Get it off your chest?
Speaker 18 (14:37):
I'm just a little upset of Anthony Edwich photograph for
talking to Obama like that, man, Like if y'all really
dissect the whole situation, he wasn't playing at all. Obama
was really just trying to start a conversation with him,
you know what I'm saying, and he took.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It way left, like he did it call Lebrono.
Speaker 13 (14:51):
That's why when he called Lebrono where he's like, man, y'all.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
Talking to this young man, Like why is he talking
to me like that?
Speaker 18 (14:56):
Like that's the first black president, bro like Jeffy but
nah manna man.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Like yeah, listen, Brocca is the first black president. But
he's still a man, and he's an og half a
black man who's also a hooper.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
He's a hoop.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
He didn't even take nothing.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
He didn't even he wasn't even offended by it.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
He's a hoop. He actually told Anthony at the end
of the conversation that's how you supposed to feel.
Speaker 18 (15:18):
Man, go back to the very end when when he
was telling him good back, Anthony was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
like completely.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He hops they talking trash to each other.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But you know why though, because Obama little of them.
Here's the thing. You know, if I'm talking to you
right now, I'd be like, oh, I see you got
your little car. You know what I'm saying. I see
you with your little your little your little new sneakers
on Obama hit him with a little Obama a young.
Speaker 18 (15:43):
Boy, in my opinion, In my opinion, he was just
trying to start a conversation with a young man like
Charam Layne. How would you feel if your if he
was your son, and your son spoke to the president
like that? Like would you be happy if he spoke
to him that in that kind of way?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And that and that in that context, I would have
no problem with it because they talking basketball, They talking hoops, man,
like what we're talking about here? Like Obama was messing
with him, and Anthony gave him that energy back like
I don't see the problem.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I don't see a problem.
Speaker 13 (16:09):
Okay, Okay, we agree to disagreement.
Speaker 18 (16:11):
But I love y'all doing. I was listening to y'all
every morning. Man, y'all have a good one.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yes, this conversation is really silly to me. Obama knew
what he was doing. Obama, That's why Obama was like,
what's up with this guy? All right? Right, y'all got
a little game to him?
Speaker 17 (16:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
What he's doing about? I would say, I got your
side sneaking in the call. We can go play right now.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
In more than any other words, ain't nothing over here,
little at all. You're right, Yeah, I'm good drunk.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hello, Who's This's DC from Texas?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Man, what's up?
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Breadford Blood?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
What's up? DC? Get it off his chest?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Brother, Man.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
I've just been in in a space and I've been
hearing everybody saying all this stuff, you know, the politics
and everything, and I think if as the black people, man,
we ought to ship ship our energy to trying to
understand and kind of let the stuff play out, man,
because to me, nobody, nobody is happy with what's going on.
And I just I've been in a space where I'm thinking, like,
you know, change is always radical and always looks it
(17:05):
always looks real bad in the beginning, but hopefully eventually,
you know, it'll all shake out, because like you know,
we had President Linde B. Johnson years ago saying I
don't have those in words those Democrats for the next
four hundred years, and now look where we're at with it,
and it's like, you know, sometimes we might need to
do something different just because like we keep getting the
same results with with the other party. And I'm not
(17:26):
I'm not advocating for any party, but I'm just saying,
like in this instance, right now, with all this stuff
going on, I think God shift our focus to not
being so crooical and preparing ourselves to work with what
we have going on because it's here like we can't
change it. Ripen and moaning about it and saying everything
he does is not going to help us out. And
I think our country is isn't a place to where
you know, you can listen to you can you can
(17:48):
tell who's somebody voting for, about what news stations they
walked to, what radio is to do. There's nobody that's
you know, that's that's that's sharing both sides. And I
think that's part of the problem when you just have
one side always talking down about one side to the
other side, you know, right versa. So I just believe
that if we try to, you know, work with what
we got going on, we might can see it a
little more progress.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Hey, I hear you. You know what I'm saying, And
I don't disagree, but I will say this, man, I
don't know what color these federal workers are that are
losing their jobs.
Speaker 17 (18:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
When I was in Maryland a couple of weeks and
weekends ago for my daughter's cheerleading competition. There was black people,
white people, Asian people walking up to me telling me
how you know, they're losing their job or they potentially
will lose their job. And for me, all I ever
want any government official to do is make sure that
American people got some money in their pocket and to
make sure that they feel safe and secure. You can't
(18:37):
do that when you know you don't you don't have
a job. So that's all that's all I ever care about.
That's right. So when I see these people complaining, it
don't matter to me what race they are, don't matter
to me what party they are. These are people who
can't feed their families. These are people who can't keep
a roof over their head because according to data, fifty
nine percent of Americans are considering one pay check away
from being broke. When you see these tens of thousands
of people losing their jobs, that's what I care about.
(18:59):
I want to fix that. I want to store that down.
I don't want that to happen once again, regardless of
who's in the White House.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
one oh five one. We got just with the mess
coming up, Yes we do.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Angela Bassett is finally speaking out about her viral at
the Oscars in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Not a Great time Last night drunk.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Basically, listen, Angela Basket. Is Angela Basket telling y'all about
She's telling y'all leave her alone. Okay, she deserves to
be disappointed. She deserved that Oscar's Friday.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
All right, we blame this. Now, let's take you out.
We got to have a conversation with nieces Man. All right,
we'll get to I know what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That's what.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's the Breakfast Club Board, the Breakfast Club, Good morning,
Everybody's t J n V, Jess hilarious, charlamage, the God
we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Let's get to Jess with the mess you use.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Is real, whether it's Marius, Jessica, Robbin Moore, just don't do.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No lines, don't do talk Nobody talk.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Them ro why Jess worldwide mass.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He's the Coaches Shows with Lauren Lauren Ros. I'm and
I got the mess talked Timmy talk drunkie.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Oh I thought and was going to bring it in
or something. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Okay, So Angela, No, I'm not stopped saying that Angela Bassett.
Y'all remember in twenty twenty three, we thought, well, now
she she's going on to win some awards. But we
thought that Angela Bassett was going to finally get her Oscar.
In twenty twenty three for Wakanda, she was nominated for
Best Supporting Actress in that lane. In the category at
(20:38):
the time too, was Jamie Lee Curtis, who actually ended
up winning the award, And when it was announced, the
camera payed to her, to Angela Bassett, and her reaction
was she was visibly like upset. You could tell that
she was upset, and normally when this happened, especially with
a big name like that, you know the camera's gonna
pay to you, you don't really react anyway that can
be taken away or made news. And it was a
(21:00):
complete opposite. So it became such a big story of
her reaction, especially because it had been years and years
and years of her being invited to the Oscars, her
being deserving of an award and not being nominated. So
people felt like, y'all keep playing in her face and
people were upset about it. She was upset about it.
Jonathan Majors and Michael Jordan actually came out and showed
her some love. Right after that happened, he Yautie, we
(21:23):
love you. And that became like a viral moment as
well too, because people were flooding her Instagram comments. We
were all over Twitter, news, a list wherever we could say, yo,
we love Angela Bassett, and she deserved that people were
saying it. Now after this, she sat down and talked
to Oprah. After that moment when viral, Angela Bassett sat
down and talked to Oprah, and she said that she
was gobsmacked, like she was basically really caught off guard
(21:47):
and disappointed. But now she's opening up. She's talking to
Town in the Country magazine. She's promoting a show called
Zero Days that she's in on Netflix, and in this
interview she tells them it's a written interview. She tells
them that she felt like she wasn't allowed to be disappointed,
that people literally wrote articles about her and had so
much to say about the fact that she as a
human person was visibly disappointed and she should have been
(22:08):
allowed to be disappointed in that moment. I love that
she said that because she kept it all in for
so long, kept it really cute.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
And very classy, as she always does.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
But I love to hear her say I deserve to
be able to feel in that moment and y'all need
to leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Angela Bastard is the woman in the garden. She deserves
it all, Okay, And I'm biased when it comes to
Angela basket because the reality is she should have won
in nineteen ninety four for what's love got to do
with it? So I personally believe she should win everything everywhere,
all the time. Not only is she one of the
most incredible actresses ever, she's one of the most beautiful
creations God has ever designed. Going to clues bombs to
Angela Bassett.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely right. I mean Hollywood is so fake.
What am I supposed to just smile as somebody gets
in the war that I worked hard for and I
think I deserve. Yes, I can show emotion. I could
be pissed off. That doesn't mean I don't I don't,
you know, feel happy for you. Yeah, I'm pissed off
out of it.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I could be. I think sometimes people mistake that for
hate hating on you because you won. But I damn
sure wanted to win. Yes, like at the end of
games when teams lose, they be having their head down
the kicking gatorade buckets, slamming stuff on the floor. Nobody
else says, damn man, they acting like so it loses, no,
like nobody wants to lose.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Congratulations to you, but I wanted to wait.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, And she went on and to win, you know,
other awards, and actually ended up getting her Academy Award
after that. But she did mention she said, I love
applauding people, but in that moment she talks about that
she felt like she put in the hard work to
be recognized. And she said, uh, she said, I thought
I had put in the work, and then she corrected herself.
She said, no, I had put in, put in the time,
(23:41):
put in the good work over time. I didn't think
that that was a gift. I thought it was a given, basically,
like if I'm doing the work, how y'all don't see
me type of thing. And I think a lot of
people love to act like that doesn't matter. So I
love to hear her speak about this, especially at the
point that she's at in her career. And she said
it was a tough one because you know, She's really
respected amongst her peers, but he felt like the establishment
at that time didn't respect her.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Auntie, she well deserves. She deserves everything she gets.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
They Audie just don't have the taste that they think
they have, because how do you not award her? In
nineteen ninety four, Fords Love Got to Do It one
of the most iconic roles ever. People look at that
and think that, you know how long I thought that
was Tina Turner? Actually I was young and I ain't know.
I thought she was actually Tina Turner. But at the
end of the movie they showed her real Tina. But
(24:26):
even when they showed her real Tina, you gotta rub
your eyes a little bit like.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Oh, did you also think that she really burned the
car down?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
To Oh? Of course?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And waiting next?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Hell, come on, man, absolutely, I love that.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
What you got next?
Speaker 19 (24:39):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Really?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
So?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Is that really finally spoke out following being basically proven
that or I don't know, I wouldn't No, I was
going to say basically being proven as a liar, But
I can't say that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But what did the speak out to say?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
So after asap, Rocky was proved was found not guilty
in the shooting of acep Lly. He posted something with
ig story said, gossip as a form of entertainment for
people who have no meaningful goals or purpose in life.
Hate me, bring shame to my name, say bad things
about me. I don't care. Your existence doesn't add any
value in my life.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Now in the art, I know, social media when crazy.
They were like, godsman, what about I know they went crazy.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Now, I will say in the article that pinpointed this,
they did mention your dounky today that you gave him no.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Yeah, so maybe saw that too.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I'm sure he's seen that, and I'm sure that that
upset them because yes, if he lied on the stand correct.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Uh yeah, so there was there were things that were
debunked on the sand of the Ha said. And I
will say, as we are wrapping up to that, I
did reach out to Joe Tacopina, a SAPs attorney. You know,
I said this before I went out last night, and
he he did tell me that. Right now, they're putting
together transcripts because they want to submit it to the
people the establishing the establishments. That may be because they
(25:51):
do want to push for a perjury. They want to
make sure that that.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I feel like anybody that lies on that stand, that
tries to put somebody away, that tries to sue, somebody
that lies to gain for themselves should have to face
the music.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Absolutely, except Joe trying to make.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Sure to stop people from lying on the stand.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
I mean that's a that's a known thing, that perjury
is the thing.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, but most people, but most people, when they do that,
there's no consequences for them.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Think about it, everybody. Perjury is definitely consequences of perjury.
You're under a perjury.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
A lot of people at that purge understand nothing ever happens.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
I think you're talking about the Purge, the movie or something.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I think you mean lying about I think you're talking
about lying about allegations. Period. That's what you're talking about.
You get on that stand and you lie and commit perjury,
you're gonna get You're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Well he should get in trouble. All right, Well that's
just with the mess you Yeah, I'm good. Come backwards
from ten five three one. He said, all right, well
we come back. We got front page News and the
Jasmine Crockett congressmen from Texas will be joining us. We'll
talk to her next uncle anywhere. It's breakfast club. Good morning,
(26:59):
you're checking out the breakfast club. Good morning everybody with
DJ Envy Jess, hilarious, charlamage the guy. We are the
breakfast club law on the ROSA filing and for jests,
and let's get in some front page news. If you're
dietn't listened early as felt when Beyama he will have
missed the remainder of the season. He has a blood
clot in his right shoulder. Damn, so he will miss that.
(27:19):
And also Milwaukee Bucks Bobby Portois, he was suspended twenty
five games for violating the NBA's anti drug policy. All right,
what up Morgan?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
So a federal judge says President Trump's mass firings of
government employees can continue for now. Multiple labor unions recently
filed a lawsuit trying to block the administration's layoffs of
thousands of probationary employees, while on Thursday, a judge denied
that bid, saying the federal court was not the appropriate avenue.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
For their lawsuit. So if they can file the lawsuit
is just not with the feeds.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Despite the denial, the judge did indicate that he was
sympathetic to the Union, saying many of Trump's executive orders
caused disruption and even chaos and widespread quarters of American
society switching gears. To the Conservative Political Action Conference also
known as SEAPAC twenty twenty five that's underway, Vice President JD.
Vance he spoke, and he talked about President Trump's efforts
(28:12):
to slash federal spending and at the political conference that
bills itself as the most influential gathering of conservatives in
the world now. Vance also spoke about Trump's efforts to
end the war in Ukraine with Russia. Let's hear more
from Vice President Vance at SEAPAC twenty twenty five.
Speaker 19 (28:29):
I think all of us are sitting around and asking,
what the hell are we doing with the American people's
money for the last four years.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Let's turn off.
Speaker 19 (28:36):
The spigot and spend the American people's tax money on
the American people's priority. And that's of course been a
big focus in the administration too. He wants the killing
to stop, he wants to bring lasting peace to Europe.
He doesn't just want to stop it now and have
the war restart a month from now. He wants to
bring lasting peace to Europe.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So Vance also talked about Trumps immigration policy, saying drug
traffickers free in this country is over with Trump back
in office. This year's gathering is expected to be a
celebration of President Trump's MAGA movement after Republicans sweeping victory
in November. Trump is also scheduled to speak at the
conference on Saturday. Other speakers expected to grace the States
(29:17):
or House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senators Ted Cruz, Rick Scott,
and Bordersar Tom Polman, speaking of which Ukrainian President Zelensky
says he did have a productive meeting with President Trump's
envoy to Russia and Ukraine. In a post on ex
Zelensky said he is grateful to the United States for
all the assistants and bipartisan support for Ukraine and the
Ukrainian people now.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
Earlier this week, US officials met with.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Russia to discuss the end of its war with Ukraine,
and Zelensky's meeting with Keith Kellogg came a day after
he called Trump.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
He and Trump went back and forth over those talks.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Now Trump called Zelensky a dictator without elections, while Ukrainian
leader Zelensky said Trump is living in this disinformation bubble.
So the drama kind of continues, but we're going to
ease back a little bit and BPC politically correct. Bringing
things to New York. Governor Kathy Hokel is deciding not
to remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office,
but she is putting limits on his power now. Hockel
(30:10):
says she's troubled by the allegations against the mayor. She
is proposing legislation to create a special Inspector General to
manage the city's affairs and give the city Council Speaker, comptroller,
and public advocate independent authority to take legal action against
the federal government. Let's hear more from New York Governor
Kathy Hokul.
Speaker 20 (30:28):
Not just the initial indictment, but also the more recent
allegation of a quid pro quo with the Trump administration.
The State Inspector General we be able to direct the
New York City Department of Investigations, and the Mayor will
only be able to move the Department Investigations Commissioner with
the approval of the State Inspector General. The Trump administration
has said is already trying to use the legal jeopardy
(30:50):
facing Our mayor has leveraged to squeeze and punish our city.
The President's already trying to weaken our public transit system.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
She's talking about the congestion price and she's still about that.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
So Hoko believes that the will of the voters preclude
her power to remove him. She says she wants to
expand funding to the state promptroller for city oversights, so
she's gonna limit those the powers that be for mayor.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Eric's crazy. That's that's like, yeah, you're not grounded, but
you can't lead a house. That's pretty much what they're saying, like, Yeah,
that's The're not gonna take you out, but we're gonna
watch what you do and limit what you can do.
So he's so basically he doesn't have full control as mayth.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
No he does not, No, no, that would not be
the case.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
So you might as well take him out. If he
can't do everything he's supposed to be doing as a man,
you might as well just take him out.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
If it might be something, because they're trying to push
him to just resign.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Yeah, I was gonna say, it sounds like it could
be a you know, a push to resign or you
know they push him out to resign. To your point, Lauren, absolutely,
and just switching gears to another story out of New York.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
Very sad.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
Six upstate New York corrections officers are now facing murder
charges and the death of an inmate caught on body cam.
Now the six officers charged with murder and three others
accused of manslaughter for not stopping the December attack where
they were arraigned after a special prosecutor unsealed the charges
on Thursday.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
Now.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Robert Brooks was the inmate.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
He was killed during a vicious attack inside the Marcie
Correctional facility. The state released bodycam video around that the
time of the special prosecutor was appointed. It appears to
show officers restraining, kicking, and beating Brooks and more. All
of the officers had bail set at one hundred thousand
dollars or less. This is a developing story, so I
will continue to keep you guys posted on this, but
(32:31):
very very, you know, very said, let's continue to say
his name, Robert Brooks.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
That's your front page news.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
Happy Friday, y'all, on Morgan would follow me on social

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Thank you, Thank you, Morgan Morgan. Now when we come back,
Jasmine Crockett will be joining us. She's the congress woman
from the Texas and we're gonna talk to her next.
It don't go anywhere as the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club. Only everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
Charlamage the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
(33:06):
a special guest in the building.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
One of the best messages in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's right, we have you women, Jasmine Crockett, welcome.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Back one morning. I am you be clapping back, you bet,
wake up by you. But we don't have any hearings
this early. I just want to be weird. Nothing starts
before ten o'clock.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
How are you? First and foremost? How you feeling?
Speaker 6 (33:27):
I'm over it?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's only been what has it been thirty days? Yet
this this fool is driving me crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You eat sleeper this though? Like do you mean like
do you do never? Like just turn off, turn the
TV off? Like everything, Like, you know what, I don't
want to think about it.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
I don't want to do nothing as much as I
don't want to think about it. I definitely stop watching
the news as much as I used to.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
But people are like DM and me. They're sending me emails,
We're constantly getting phone calls. So no, I don't turn off.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Is there anything good that this administration has done so far,
anything that you can say, well, at least that's a
good day.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Not nothing. I thought Bernie Sanders post yesterday about uh,
he likes what Trump is attempting to do with the
Pentagon by auditing them and stuff.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Like that, attempting let's see it happen. Here's the reality.
I serve on the Oversight Committee. That's where all the
drama typically happens. And we've had Department of Defense come
before us a number of times. The vast majority of
the waste brought in abuse that we have in this
country is Department of Defense. You can google and find
out that at some point in time we were spending
like one thousand dollars per toilet or something. So that's
(34:30):
where we see these inflated costs. That's where we have
a lot of contractors. That's where they play a lot
of games. That's where Elin gets. The vast majority of
his money is out of defense. And when they come
before us and we ask them about their audit, they
haven't had a clean audit in the last six times
we've asked for an audit. So the fact that they're
going to start with people that are getting six dollars
(34:51):
a day to eat, or they want to go after
the little old lady that's just trying to get her
little health care and they believe that that's what the
savings is. That's not where the say, nor is it
going after career civil servants and saying, oh, let me
take your coins, let me take your job.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Because when we add.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Up, even if we fired everybody that works for the
federal government, it's only maybe four or five percent of
our budget, but over or approximately fifty percent of our
discretionary budget is defense and they can't pass an audit.
So why we didn't start there where Elon has decided
that he was going to get two new contracts just
(35:29):
in two weeks, one for four hundred million dollars to Tesla,
another for a little over three hundred million dollars to SpaceX.
I don't know why we didn't start there, but it
seems like we could find a lot of waste, brought
an abuse because again they've not been able to pass
an audit.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
School school me on this too, Right, Bill Clinton did
the National Partnership for Reinventing Government. He essentially Elon's saying,
he's essentially doing the same thing Bill Clinton did. As
far as, like, you know, making the government smaller or
more efficient, what do you say to that, what's the
difference what Clinton did in the nineties.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
And so there's a lot that's different. But I do
want to start with because I actually looked at the numbers.
We really work kind of big.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
We actually had more people working in the federal government
when Bill Clinton was in office initially than we have now.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
You know, the differences. The country's just a little bit bigger, right,
So chances.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Are you would need more. And we're talking about the
people that are delivering your mail. You're talking about the
people because all y'all about to start calling us somema
someone I ain't got my tax refund check?
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Okay, So like.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Firing the irs, we're talking about, you know, the people
that do FAA. So the planes don't fall out the sky, right,
So we have a lot more going on, and we
literally don't even have as many people as we had
working when he came in, so we were a little
kind of bloated when it came down to it. But
also all presidents should have advisors, and that's essentially what.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
He had, was an advisor.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
What they have said is that Elon is the one
that cut off the specket of money like this is
after money was appropriated and then he's like, oh no, no, no,
you can't get that money. And now people are dying
in other countries because USAID has stopped. And I want
to be clear about something. You can shut down USAID
if you want to, but that has to be done congressionally.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Okay, that's number one. Number two, USAID is less than
one percent of our budget. So they over here talking
about some oh.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
They had and out condoms and they doing this and
all this kind of stuff. It's literally less than one
percent of our budget because they don't want you to
pay attention to the over ninety nine percent of the budget,
where yes, I would say most of the waste, fraud,
and abuse is actually still at the hands of somebody
like Eli Musk, like these bootleg trucks that he decided
that he was going to sell the federal government. I
(37:41):
think maybe at one hundred thousand dollars. I don't know
what the price is per truck or whatever. But he's
selling these trucks at the same time that he's getting
rid of all the people that were conducting investigations over
him about Tesla, investigations about SpaceX.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
He got rid of all those people. And even in
that interview that Trump.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Just did, he's like, asked by Fox News of all places, right,
He's asked, well, you know who's going to oversee Elon
and make sure his conflicts are good?
Speaker 6 (38:11):
He's like, oh, Elon is like, I mean, because I
got a whole body.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Of people that's over me, Like I don't just get
to decide what it's like right and wrong, and honestly,
I'm not allowed to take any money, Like I have
to live a very poor life right now, right, like you'reid.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
I could be getting paid.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
I've made more money before, I will make more money
up right now.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
I am living not in the overflow. No, I mean.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yeah, yeah, listen, no, no, no, And I had to
shut them down because first they said that I had
a husband.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
No husband, y'all.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
First they said I had a husband, and they said
that I was paying him half a million dollars to
keep me safe. And people were like he should be
doing it for free. And I was like, I don't
know if y'all mix up the playground home or if
y'all just think every black girl that comes to Congress
brings a husband who has to live off. That's not
what it is. Okay, no husband, never been married, never
(39:12):
been engaged. A right, that's number one. So then they said, well,
she's worth nine million dollars and she's got all these homes.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
When I first got to Congress, about two weeks in,
there was a case that I've been working for seven years.
It was a civil rights case, one of my last
two civil rights cases, and I still got one pen in.
So just so y'all know, if I gotta resign, I'm
a resigned.
Speaker 6 (39:33):
But nevertheless it goes to trial, I'm unable to participate.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Because I'm not supposed to be. But I'm in this
wine down period. It actually hits for about twenty two
million dollars. So ethic says, you can't collect your attorneys
feel on that at all. Now, mind you, I worked
this case before I ever ran for Congress, right, so
like that gives you an idea of how far they
go when it comes to the contry.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
No, but here's the deal. I would have resigned and
I will.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
No, I'm not going to play with my money like
y'all tripping, because I worked on that case for seven years.
It was against a very small city that literally can't
pay it. Now, if for some reason they go find
the coins, then absolutely, I'm resigning, forcing a special election
and I'll win.
Speaker 13 (40:14):
Right.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
But I do have another one that is penning, and
it's pinning against the city of Dallas, and the officer
in that case actually played guilty. If the City of
Dallas does pay up, you heard it here. First, You're
resigning and it will be a seven figure payday for
me because as an attorney, yeah, we do have cases
that hit for millions of dollars. It's not really that odd.
(40:37):
The thing is that I've always been a bleeding herd liberal.
I have, so I was doing more criminal defense than anything.
I wasn't really doing a lot of the big million
dollar cases unless I was helping out the homies. I've
got plenty of cases where I've gone into court help
homies get seven figure results, but.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
That never was me.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
I just wanted to be comfortable. And now I got,
you know, deal with Congress said.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
You can resign and didn't run again and said.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Ye now, yeah, we have more of a congress woman
Jasmine Crockett. When we come back, it's the breakfast Club.
Good morning morning. Everybody is tj envy just hilarious, charlamage,
na gud. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking
it with Jasmine crocket Now do you think what Trump
is doing now is to throw people off? Is the
well were possibly gonna give you guys five thousand dollars
(41:22):
as the district possibly gonna take the congestion prices, say
hello to the king. You think he's doing those things
to say, you know what all the rest of our stuff,
These people won't even check me because I'm doing they
think I'm doing this.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
He knows that they're not gonna check them, right, Like,
I mean, you can go back and play the clips
of him talking about how he loves the uneducated. Right,
if you would ever run for president he was run
as a Republican like and we know, like, this isn't
me trying to throw shade. These are just the facts
when you look at who's voting for who the less
educated folks. And when I say educated, I'm not even
talking about formal education. I'm talking about people that literally
(41:56):
don't want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those
are the people that vote for the Republicans. And this
one of the reasons that we have to stop writing
in theses as Democrats, right, Like, we want to give
you every single little detail that we can find so
that you can have all the information. But the reality
is that the average person that is going out there
and voting, they're not paying attention to that. And we
(42:17):
fail to realize how selfish people are. People go out
and they vote in their own self interest. And so
you had all these races that showed up and decided
that they were going to vote for the other races
because they thought, hey, we are all the same. But
the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay,
and so when he decided that he was going to
look out for somebody, it was only going to be
other rich white guys, not the rest of y'all. So
(42:39):
as you're losing your job, as you're losing your medicaid,
as you're losing your farm, you're feeling a way because
you're like, wait a minute, you were supposed to go
after the others, not come after us, And now they're saying, oh, well,
we'll give you a five thousand dollars check. I don't
see it happening right now. That is not a part
of the budget that they have proposed, that is for sure.
So they just had a markup. So this is the
(43:00):
that they're ever talking about. This the budget that they
proposed where they went through a thirteen hour markup just
the other day, proposed getting rid of Medicare. So I mean,
theoretically they should have the money if you decide that
people won't have healthcare in this country, which costs a
little bit more than five thousand dollars a person. But
the reality is that they're not gonna do that.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Why do people still talk like Donald Trump's campaigning as
opposed to like he's actually here right now in the
flesh doing what it is that he's doing. Like they
still talk like they stopped, like they talk like they
can stop this. Like I saw governor governor of Illinois, JV.
What's his name, David. Yeah, he was talking, but I'm like, yo,
that should have been said four years ago. The things
that he was saying, like like, why are they talking
(43:40):
like he's still campaigning.
Speaker 6 (43:42):
I'm gonna say this. I think that there's two things.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
I think that again, Democrats are so cerebral that we
were like, of course, nobody's gonna vote for him again.
They'll remember the dead bodies that were piling up in
freezer trucks in New York. They'll remember that he was
selling people there in Jake Bleach. They'll remember that, you know,
they were losing their jobs. They did not know if
their family members were going to live or die.
Speaker 6 (44:03):
They will remember.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
We thought he like people would remember, and then we
started to realize way too late that a lot of
people forgot all they remembered. It was almost like our
brains would not remember the bad. All they remembered was
like things like a twelve hundred dollars check, but they
didn't remember how they got it right, Like they didn't
remember Pelosi, they didn't remember the Democrats were controlling the
House at the time, Like they didn't remember that part
(44:27):
of the story.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
The Democrats mess and marketing.
Speaker 6 (44:30):
Well, you know, we're still working.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
But I will say the other part of this though
about Pritzker is that I think what we're trying to
do is at least make sure that people wake up
because there are things that we can do.
Speaker 6 (44:43):
I don't accept defeat.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
I mean, if I accepted defeat, here's the reality, I
wouldn't be sitting here before you. My ancestors never accepted defeat,
so I won't either.
Speaker 6 (44:52):
Did he win?
Speaker 4 (44:53):
Absolutely? Are we defeated? Absolutely not? And so right now
constitution absolutely look at.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
You with your alliterature. Okay, there, we got me. So
here's the deal.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
We know that the House is only a three member
different three members going to the Democratic side means that
we control the House and we start slowing things down.
We have three seats that are about to be up.
We have two seats that are up right now. We
have another run that will be up in New York.
And so I'm telling people put all your energy into
these three seats because I can't wait two years. Like
I'm tired of him already, So we need an opportunity
(45:28):
to start stopping him. So I do want governors like
Pritzker to give people this belief and this hope. And
I want people to go out and say, you know what,
I don't have very much money, but I think that
it's worthwhile for me to give my ten dollars to
these people that are running in Florida, to give money
to whoever is going to ultimately run here in New York.
I think it's worth my time to show up and
(45:50):
actually knock on some doors and talk to people and
listen to people and ask them why did you vote
for Trump? And Trump would still be your president.
Speaker 6 (45:57):
But don't you want this to slow a little bit?
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Don't you want somebody to say, hey, wait a minute.
We think that it's important that social security still exists,
and the only thing that will stand between you and
your social security is potentially having a democratic House. And
it doesn't mean you're a Democrat, but it does mean
that you believe in a democratic republic. And so I
want us to work these three seats right now because
(46:22):
one of the elections Florida will take place on April first.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
So those are the guardrails that are in place to protect,
you know, people like the federal workers from what Elon
Musk and Donald trumpe are.
Speaker 4 (46:31):
Roll as it relates that to that part. The guardrails
are the courts. That's the only thing that we have
standing right now, and I'm concerned that ultimately the High
Court belongs to him. So I know he's trying to
get those cases up to the Supreme Court again, get
them to dismantle the constitution a bit, dismantle laws a
(46:51):
little bit. But the fact that they push back on
TikTok of all things, like just forget the subject matter.
But ultimately, in a nine to zero decision when it
came down to TikTok, they said.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
Oh, never mind, Like, no, you can't do that. That
was signed in law.
Speaker 4 (47:04):
Whether you like it or not, it was signed in
the law, and you can't just unilaterally overturn that. So
I think that we may have a little hope from
them when it comes down to things like once Congress
appropriates something, you can't do anything about it. Now, here's
the thing, it'll never make the Supreme Court in time
because this last funding bill runs out on March fourteenth.
(47:26):
We won't get to the Supreme Court by March fourteenth
to get a decision. But we potentially will have a
new budget and that budget should be done because he
does have a Trump trifecta. It should be done in
the image of what it is that they want to deliver,
and so we'll see if they can get it done.
Speaker 13 (47:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
I think we're shutting down on March fourteen.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
On March fourteen, you think the government's gonna shut down?
Speaker 4 (47:48):
Yeah, I mean the last time we shut down was
under Trump. When we shut down I think at least
two times, and the longest shutdown we've ever had in
the history of this country came under Trump. And right
now they have a slimmer majority than they had when
I was in the one hundred and eighteenth session. So right
now they only have they can only lose one vote.
One Republican vote can vote against it, So if all
(48:11):
Democrats show up and vote against it, which we should,
they can only lose one.
Speaker 6 (48:15):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (48:17):
I don't see how they get it past, but we'll
see they can get it past the Senate.
Speaker 6 (48:22):
I don't see how they get a past House.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
We have more with congress Woman Jasmine Crockett when we
come back as the Breakfast Club goal morning morning, everybody
is j Envy, Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Jasmine Crocket. Well, child,
what is on your what is on your breakdown? What's
on your shirt? Child?
Speaker 6 (48:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (48:43):
Yes, yes, So we dropped the child collection collection after
Nancy mays act it like she wanted to take me outside.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
So minutes with you.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
She's going to be your mind when she asks you,
I'd like to take this outside.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Military school.
Speaker 6 (49:00):
I don't want.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
From the citadel which is all military scho.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
Yeah, right, So DEI helped her just fyi, because it
didn't exist, and there were people that did not want
a woman in the institution. But her father actually taught
at the institution, and so she wanted to be just
like her dad, and so they sued, they went to
the courts so that she could get in as a woman.
(49:29):
And now she is the very same woman that wants
to do like a bunch of the same immigrants to
somehow get over here, get their citizenship, and then they like,
forget everybody else coming behind me.
Speaker 6 (49:39):
She is the same. And so she claims that she's
been a champion for.
Speaker 4 (49:43):
Women and that's why she's against trans people, but she
forgets that she benefited from diversity, equity and inclusion like
most white women, because white women are the vast majority
of the beneficiaries of DEI policies. But that's all she
But when she said let's take it outside, you know,
I really want to be like, let's go now, I
(50:05):
knew that I couldn't because again, they would have been
trying to expel me. And if the tables were turned
if I had said that to her, oh, the Karen
would have been calling everybody to come through and come
grab me, and they would have had me on the
floor for an explosion for trying to incite violence against
another member of Congress literally in a committee hearing. But
(50:28):
instead they said, well, maybe she meant go outside for coffee.
Speaker 6 (50:33):
I do be thinking that though I guess what they said.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
I'd be thinking that these people are so old and
so culturally clue is that they don't understand.
Speaker 6 (50:40):
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
When you did it either, when you did your bad
Bill Bush Bodies that the guy was like, what.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
It's the same guy, Nancy, I am not a child. Now,
I do think that she is culturally unaware, even though
she's always bragging about how many black people she represents
in her district in South Carolina.
Speaker 6 (51:01):
Black people in South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (51:02):
Wake up here up we went to high school together.
Speaker 4 (51:07):
Well, no, well she's anyway, I'm not gonna cuss you
said the economy she does because South Carolina about to
catch it, just like all these other ones, all of them,
they're about to catch it the hardest. Like you think
you're quote unquote owning the Libs. But guess what New
York has money? Okay, guess what California has money? Right,
(51:30):
the ones that are broke and need the money, the
New York and California bay into is you little red
states down south?
Speaker 6 (51:38):
The vast majority of y'all. Y'all are the ones that
are broken. Y'all are the ones that are constantly bleeding
population as well. Right, Like we know that these.
Speaker 4 (51:46):
Small states like people are moving to the big cities,
which to be in the bluer states where there are
more opportunities. So but Nancy, you know, she now wants
to us.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
To take it outside because they're going through all of that.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
No, she she just wants to try to elevate her
name and her status. So she's allegedly talking about running
for governor.
Speaker 6 (52:09):
Don't do it.
Speaker 4 (52:10):
Don't do it South Carolina. But if you look into her,
like she said so much staff that has resigned, she
is consistently being accused of all types of inappropriateness when
it comes to like sex stuff in general. So beyond her, well,
i'll just say that in committee right in that same hearing,
she was talking about quote unquote.
Speaker 6 (52:31):
Chicks with peace. Yeah, so she was doing like all
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (52:35):
So she constantly like throws the word around and committee
and that kind of thing. But she's also been accused
of talking to staff about her sex life and making
them uncomfortable, and so she's had staff resign alleging that
she is very inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (52:52):
She didn't just say she was a victim of rape
and sexual all.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
He also did that with a lot of protections.
Speaker 4 (52:58):
So people don't know that if you go on the
house floor, you can pretty much say anything and people
can't suit you.
Speaker 6 (53:03):
It's the debate clause. What do you mean, speech and debate?
Speaker 4 (53:06):
Speech and debate clause means that when you are in
the chamber and you're on the floor and you say
certain things, I can say something defammatory and I can't
be sued.
Speaker 3 (53:18):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (53:19):
So the theory is this is that she decided, now
that she's getting ready for this supernatorial she decided to
kind of head off some potential bad headlines by going
onto the house floor and accusing not one, not two,
but three men of sexually abusing.
Speaker 6 (53:38):
Her and recording it and drugging her.
Speaker 4 (53:42):
So the thought is that maybe there's a sex safe
that's about to come out, and so if she went
on the floor, they can't do anything about it. Now
she's not filed charges against any of them. She just
went on the floor, made these accusations, but did not
go and file a case against anybody. Now she files
a case against somebody and she's found to be lying.
Speaker 6 (54:03):
That is a crime.
Speaker 4 (54:04):
But she could go on the floor and accuse them
of whatever and they can't sue her. So interesting place
to go and report.
Speaker 3 (54:12):
Most jae.
Speaker 6 (54:19):
Somebody else?
Speaker 4 (54:22):
Is it true to somebody else that works for another
sitting member. They called in and that they bet they
was betting on a fight. Oh yeah, they wanted to
see it. I don't know who it was, but we
have Capitol police. We have Capitol police following up on
that because they called during working hours on a house phone,
and they were so smart that they didn't realize that
(54:44):
all calls made on house phones are recorded, so it
is recorded.
Speaker 6 (54:48):
We know which member's office it came from.
Speaker 4 (54:51):
It was a Republican out of Texas whose office it
came from.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
They were trying to.
Speaker 4 (54:58):
They yeah, so they called my office and was like, yeah,
this is what we want to see. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Were trying to place a bit some random staffer.
Speaker 6 (55:07):
They're called my office. It's the audacity.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
But I can see why they would want to see it.
But this is what I'm saying, right, do you think
that Congress could get more done if y'all actually did
throw hands every now and no, just real quick, real quick,
thirty seconds, then y'all get it out and go back
now want to fight?
Speaker 6 (55:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (55:25):
I do want to ask you this. I know you
got to go. Why don't Democrats sit down? Chuck Schuman
and Hakim Jefferies they all represent the old way of
doing things that don't work anymore. People like yourself, AOC.
Y'all know how to communicate, y'all know how to message.
Why don't they let y'all be front tracing in the party.
What are they holding on to? I know their positions,
but forget the position. If they're not connecting with people,
(55:47):
why are they the ones that are out front but
not y'all.
Speaker 4 (55:49):
I mean, there's just a lot that we could be doing,
and I'm hoping that we get a lot more aggressive
and decide every single day like this is just what
it is. Like I told my staff, I'm like, y'all
had it good last term.
Speaker 6 (56:00):
I know y'all thought y'all didn't, but.
Speaker 4 (56:02):
I'm like, we actually now have to work ten times
harder than we did before because we've got to make
sure people understand how bad these policies are and what's happening.
If we don't communicate it in real time, then we're doomed.
That was the problem even when we were trying to
get the White House back, is that we did not
communicate in real time the good things we were doing.
(56:23):
Now they're like, oh, wait a minute, those wait minutes.
So the overdraft fees, that was Joe Biden that reduced
it so it wasn't more than five dollars per overdraft,
and now the Republicans have filed a bill saying, you
know what, we want those overdraft fees to go back
up because again they're looking out for the rich people,
not the people who was struggling. Who has overdraft fees?
(56:45):
Is it the rich people or is the people live
in check to check? So the people they kept saying, oh, no,
he's for the middle class.
Speaker 6 (56:51):
No he's not. And they tried to convince you that
the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (56:54):
Had done nothing, but they had, They had consistently done
things for the middle class.
Speaker 6 (56:58):
It's just that.
Speaker 4 (56:59):
And so when even when Democrats are like, oh, we're
not the party of the middle class anymore, Yes we are.
Our policies are clear because over draft fees, that's not
for rich people, but now it is about to be
for rich people. You know why, because again we're seeing
a government that wants to prey on those that are
struggling so that others at the top can benefit to
some ridiculous amount of money.
Speaker 6 (57:21):
And that's what we're about to go through.
Speaker 4 (57:22):
So I'm just like, listen, if you were broke and
thought he was your guy, will God bless you?
Speaker 5 (57:27):
All?
Speaker 17 (57:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (57:27):
Jeffer can never talk like that. I just want you
to know that we can never speak to people. Know that.
Speaker 2 (57:33):
Thank you, congress Woman Jasmine Crockett. We appreciate I appreciate,
thank you so much. It's the breakfast club. Good morning,
just with the message up next, let's get to es
with the bests.
Speaker 3 (57:45):
Just cabing more.
Speaker 2 (57:46):
Just don't do no lines, don't doody.
Speaker 3 (57:53):
World why worldwide mess.
Speaker 2 (57:57):
On the breakfast clubs, the coaches Farmlaurren and I got.
Speaker 3 (58:02):
The to me.
Speaker 6 (58:06):
Alrighty y'all.
Speaker 4 (58:07):
So for anybody that was wondering how the big Meach
Welcome Home concert cancelation situation really went down from inside.
Speaker 6 (58:16):
We have the answers. Boosie to the rescue. Let's take
a listen.
Speaker 21 (58:20):
Oh, we was asking the people, even the people at
the arena, and he was like, some federal people came
in here with let us like shut this down like
it was some what Yeah, that was the one of
the workers say, like they came in here right before that.
They say they came in sound chick and shut it down.
So this was this some last minute power whatever it
happened to it. With this, the arena was open, everything
(58:42):
was open, bro like it was going down.
Speaker 3 (58:46):
Was that on TV? Yes?
Speaker 6 (58:47):
That TV?
Speaker 3 (58:49):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (58:49):
Now I think that that makes it even worse than
it honestly makes me want to figure out who's these
federal people on what is the situation.
Speaker 2 (58:57):
I don't know, but I know that the son of
Sam lor and I'm not saying this, this is part
of it, but the son of samads. You can't profit
off of a crime that you did.
Speaker 3 (59:04):
What crimes? What crime? Huh? You can't drop it.
Speaker 2 (59:07):
Off of I guess your name or the crimes or
anything telling the story of that you did.
Speaker 6 (59:10):
But they're telling them, welcome home.
Speaker 3 (59:11):
It's a concert.
Speaker 2 (59:13):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (59:14):
I was thinking maybe they thought that there was the
capacity was going to be too crazy and you know,
like crime marshals can come in or whatever.
Speaker 6 (59:20):
But that's not federal.
Speaker 3 (59:21):
I was told they saw nine hundred tickets of fourteen thousand.
Oh yeah, the building whole fourteen dollars. That's what I
was told. I was told it was a ticket thing.
Speaker 4 (59:29):
Well, Boosie also talked about just the way that little
Meach has been carrying a whole situation. And I will
say little Meach was out and about and there's a
video of him chopping it up with Rick Ross at
a Floyd Mayweather's party in Miami recently. Let's take a
listen to what Boosey had to say about how littlech
is carrying this whole situation.
Speaker 21 (59:45):
Let Meach ain't like his response. It seemed like he
got a genuine kind of love for fitting on his response.
But you know, my respunan, let's go to Walter.
Speaker 5 (59:57):
You.
Speaker 21 (59:57):
I don't know what Meat was on some I'm a pope.
I don't give him, my son. You ain't gonna go
against this grain.
Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
He basically feels like he's leaning into Fifty too much.
But I mean, now that this videos out of him
in your grass, I don't think that that's the case whatsoever.
So now we know, I am going to try and
figure out more information about that though, Like what was
that situation?
Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Like who are these.
Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Federal people that boot the show at the concert? Yeah,
with the concert for the Big Meach Welcome Home concert.
Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
So Boosie was saying that Meach, little meat should just
roll with Big Meach.
Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's his dad.
Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
That's a little more complicated than that, though. I get it, Yeah,
I get it. I mean I understand, but you know,
he does have a relationship with Fifty as well, that's
his father. But it's still business. You're grown, you're two adults,
like little Meach is an adult. Big Meach is an adult.
Fifty Center is an adult. Low Meach has his own
relationship with fifty. He's getting caught up in the crossheads
or whatever. You know, big meats, fifty and rosscot going on.
(01:00:55):
I thought lot Meach's response to the fifty was valid.
Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Your dad name is cowboy, right, yeah, cowboy get into something.
You're gonna neutrally try and figure it out.
Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
It's different, just gonna go from zero to one hundreds.
Speaker 14 (01:01:06):
Let's go to war.
Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Fifty, it's different, and.
Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
Let's go to war. But like I'm not explaining, I'm
not texting none of that.
Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
That's my dad.
Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
I think little Meets looked at fifty as a father figure.
Remember little Meat was down for a second so many times,
so many years, and fifty helped him out rehab allegedly
and got him a deal. So I think you might
have looked at him as a father figure.
Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
I get it, I hear you. But that's his dad.
Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Sure, but there should still be a conversation. There still
shouldn't just be a yo. From what I remember in
the text of the text was like, what's going on,
what's happening here? Right?
Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
But fifty had already went zero to one hundred at
that point. So now you got to pick a side,
and that's my dad.
Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Do you think he should just match energy and just
do what Boozy said?
Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
He no, No, he should calmly just sit next to
his dad and just chill. Stop texting, stop all of that.
Take what comes with your dad made a decision.
Speaker 6 (01:01:55):
Here we are.
Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
Do you have a conversation with your father and say, damn, pop,
did you even think about this? You know that fifty
got an issue and fifty did a lot for us.
Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
You do have that conversation, you know, but you gotta
roll with your pops. Like when it comes to like
you now you're stepping over the line, you send a text.
Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Like, Hey, I don't think it's that easy on my side,
not in that situation. I know it seems like that
to some people, but I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
It's that easy, not in that situation.
Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
And I know it wasn't that easy for a little beach.
Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
It can't. It's not that easy. But it's your dad though.
Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Like I don't, I don't know, not in that situation,
not when your dad been down for what's twenty years.
Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
We'll see, girl, what's happening there. You gave me that face.
Go ahead, Andy on what's going on?
Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
What's you about to start?
Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
You start that dad stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
I'm not I'm not happening you good.
Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
No, I'm gonna effect. I'm gonna text you, all right, don't.
I'm gonna text you and then you tell.
Speaker 6 (01:02:49):

You want Charlamage to damn chlomame, who do your heaven?
Speaker 6 (01:08:45):
Dusky of the day?
Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
So now well, sexy Red Donkey to Day for Friday,
February twenty first goes to Ashley Cross. Ashley is a
thirty seven year old African American woman from Memphis, Tennessee. Okay, smooth,
everyone who listens to us on K ninety seven in Memphis. Now,
I'm sure that you all are aware by now there's
a lot of companies have rolled back their diversity equity
and including initiatives. One of those companies is Walmart. Now,
(01:09:08):
if you read my first book, Black Privilege, and you
know the joy Walmart brought me as a child, Because
when you grow up in the country like I did,
salute the Monst Corner, South Carolina, drop on the clues,
BOMs Amost Cornersauth Carolina. When you grow up in the country,
a rural area, the twenty four hour Walmart is everything. Okay,
That's what we would go late at night because there
was nothing else to do. Yes, the good old days.
Walk in the holy grounds of Walmart. This was way
(01:09:29):
back in the day when the only thing they were
rolling back is prices. But a lot of people have
called for a boycott at these companies in particular target,
but Ashley Cross has decided that she is staging a
one woman boycott of Walmart. Yes, in fact, Ashley is
not going to be shopping at Walmart in period. No
Walmart in the country, none of them ever again. Okay,
(01:09:53):
do you have that kind of commitment to your boycott?
Can you vow to never shopping an establishment ever again?
Are a scott paper tower being ten sixty eight for
twelve rolls too great a deal to pass up? Well?
If it is, then you can always do what Ashley
did because it's guaranteed Ashley will never step foot in
any Walmart ever again. And I lie, it's not because
she's boycotting Walmart. It's actually because Walmart is boycotting her.
(01:10:15):
What do you mean, Uncle, Sharla, Walmart is boycotting her. Well,
let's go to new Channel three for the report.
Speaker 17 (01:10:19):
Please.
Speaker 14 (01:10:20):
Ashley Cross, charged with criminal trespass and theft of merchandise is,
according to the police report, a well known shoplifter at
this Walmart on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Whitehaven, so well
known to Walmart that Cross is on an Authorization of
Agency list, meaning she's banned from any Walmart location in
(01:10:41):
the United States. The Elvis Presley Boulevard stores where Cross
and another suspect were arrested February tenth, Cross was seen
using and devised to scan her items for one dollar
at a self checkout machine.
Speaker 23 (01:10:54):
Ashley Cross remains in jail on a seventy five hundred
dollars bond. She is due back in court February nineteenth.
The suspect with Cross received a misdemeanor citation for theft
of property.
Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Oh, she already went the court. I wonder what happened.
Speaker 17 (01:11:08):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
I used to shoplift up until twenty sixteen. Okay, that's
when I stopped shoplifting. But I didn't, you know, feel
like I was stealing because.
Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Nine years ago you had a little money.
Speaker 6 (01:11:19):
Nine years ago, are you still stealing?
Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
I don't know. But I didn't feel like it was
stealing because I didn't try to hide anything. I would
walk in and, you know, take what I want and
just walk out. You only get caught when you look suspicious,
you know. Plus I never really stole anything but magazines,
you know, when I was young, like Black and Miles,
twelve packs of butt light, random stuff like that. But
Ashley is clearly a kleptomaniac, and she's good because she
was using a bar code from an old watch battery
(01:11:43):
to scan all her items for just one dollar to
self checkout. I stand a creative thief. Okay, y'all still
stealing like flintstones actually out here like a jection with it.
Or maybe this is the normal way to shoplift. Now,
I don't steal anymore, so I wouldn't know. But Ashley
stole eleven packs of roumenodles, women's boots, a pair of jeans,
and a T shirt, all totally one hundred and thirty
(01:12:05):
seven dollars and thirty four cents. Now, this woman was
clearly stealing essentials. Okay, these are reasonable things to steal. Ramen, noodles, boots, clothes.
I understand. In America, I'm gonna tell you something you
don't want to hear. There's gonna be a lot more
of this. Why because during America's inflation crisis, Walmart was
the spot. Okay, you can get good deals all types
(01:12:26):
of essentials. But on yesterday Walmart said things are about
to get slow because consumers are growing increasingly frustrated with
inflation and they're concerned about President Trump's tariffs. Basically, folks
been broken and if people keep losing their jobs, they
will be broken. And if you are the reason, okay,
people are losing their jobs, like Elon Musk and Donald
Trump are in regards the federal workers, and you're putting
(01:12:47):
tariffs on items. Not only do I not have a job,
things are going to be even more expensive. So what
am I going to resort to doing? I tell you
what people will resort to doing. Trying to survive, and
trying to survive can look like a number of things,
and sometimes one of those things is shoplifted. I'm not
making excuses for Ashley. I'm just telling America what the
(01:13:07):
inevitable is when you don't take care of the least
of us. Nevertheless, Ashley crosses on Walmart's authorization of agency lists,
which prohibits her from entering any Walmart store across the country.
I didn't know such a list existed, but Ashley is
on it, and she is currently well, I don't even
know if currently, but she was being held on the
seventy five hundred dollars bond, probably still in it. She's
(01:13:30):
probably still in it because if he had one hundred
and thirty four dollars to get these items from Walmart,
you damn sure ain't got the seventy five hundred dollars bond.
All to ten percent of seven hundred and fifty dollars
to get out. But some donkey of the days just
sell themselves. Please give Ashley Cross the sweets outs of
the Hamiltons. Oh no, you are the dog gee of.
Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
The day, the dog gee.
Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Ah, it's just you feel bad for now. You don't
feel bad for her. She's a repeat offender.
Speaker 4 (01:14:10):
She could have got a job, or maybe the first
offense put something on her record and she couldn't get
the job.
Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
That is true too, But she stole from there a lot.
Why wouldn't you switch it up?
Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
This is gonna sound bad, but no, you ever, you
ever be in so check out and be feeling like this.
Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
I shouldn't have to pay for this stuff. Like some
of this stuff is old to me, Like maybe she
felt like that.
Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
No, I don't know what I feel like that.
Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
And that's what happens when you still wiggle, When you
still wiggle, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
You get what? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
You so lucky you were still in when your face
was two different colors, because they wouldn't have recognized you
from me this side.
Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
That is true. That is very true. If I'm on
camera in twenty sixteen, that's not me. Okay, that's not me.
It's not the same person.
Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
All right, Well that is donkey of the day. Now

Yeah, you guys, you guys are doing amazing things.
Speaker 17 (01:17:18):
That's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
So let's start from the beginning. How did you get
into fool because you just weren't the CEO of a
livester you with CEO of P of Chang. So how
did you get your start into this restaurant business.
Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
And you're only thirty six?
Speaker 13 (01:17:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
Yeah, yeah, really, I started by waiting tables when I
was young, when I was in high school, and you're
from I'm from Uh, I'm not jering. Originally, I went
to high school in Maryland, Okay, so it's nice, yeah,
you know, doing the uh the waiter slash runner thing
in high school. But in this current track, you know,
I started working in finance when I was in college.
(01:17:51):
So I started interning at Goldman Sacks when I was nineteen,
so seventeen years ago. Wow, So I got my first
internship at Goldman. I was at Brown playing football and
worked at Goldman for four years, and then worked at
a private equity firm called TPG, and then went to
business school and then worked at a hedge fund here
in New York. The reason I got into restaurants because
(01:18:11):
I did a restaurant deal. We bought PF Changs in
twenty nineteen. I worked for John Paulson, who's a famous
billionaire investor in New York. This firm is called Paulson
and Company. So I was working at a hedge fund
and we do a lot of things. The hedge fund's big,
it's you know, billions of dollars, and we do a
lot of different things. But one of the things that
we did that I suggested was to buy PF Chanks.
(01:18:32):
It was up for sale, so I pitched it to
the firm. They agreed, but I led the deal. This
is twenty nineteen now, so it was up for sale.
You know, I thought it was an interesting thing, good brand,
great great history, great product. I thought we could do
a lot of new things with it. We could a delivery,
we could remodel the restaurants, we could make it more interesting,
make it more relevant, cool. And it was all going
(01:18:53):
pretty well. And then COVID hit right in twenty twenty.
So my big restaurant deal. You know, we put hundreds
of millions of dollars into it and it went south
COVID like like everything else did.
Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
So how did you get to Red Lobster?
Speaker 17 (01:19:03):
Red Lobster?
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
So, you know, the PF chain's dealent well, and you know,
it won me some some plaudits in the industry because
it was difficult, right, and we.
Speaker 17 (01:19:12):
Made it happen.
Speaker 5 (01:19:13):
And then after that, I connected with the folks who
had lent money to Red Lobster before the company went bankrupt,
so they were in line to own it coming out
of bankruptcy. It's a good group called Fortress, and so
they asked me first to consult to provide advice, like,
you know, you were just spent four years running a
business that was in distress similar to this, you know,
what do you think of this situation? So I was
(01:19:35):
advising them at first, and then it turned into uh uh.
They asked me to come run it. Basically presented a plan.
They were like, well, like your plan, police come executed
for us, right. So I took over CEO coming out
of bankruptcy in September.
Speaker 17 (01:19:48):
That's what we've been doing.
Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
You know, when I first heard that story, I was
on the radio acting like I knew what I was
talking about, and I was just like, I know exactly
what Red Lobster should be doing. Yeah, and I felt
like Red Lobster should, you know, scale down from being
a fine dining establishment and be more like Chipotle, Like
you could go in there and you know you can
get your lobster insurance pasta right from the bar or whatever.
The items is just right there from the bar. Just
(01:20:09):
make it like a small or more Chipotle like establishment.
Of the polls by buying dining restaurant.
Speaker 5 (01:20:13):
Well, your point about being able to get food conveniently
is an important one. There should be options and there
should be ways.
Speaker 17 (01:20:19):
Where you get things you need quickly.
Speaker 5 (01:20:20):
For example, our delivery business that should feel fast casualist
where you put it in order, it comes quickly, et cetera.
The way the company is set up has a cost structure.
Speaker 17 (01:20:29):
That you can run it. You can run it like Chipotle.
Speaker 5 (01:20:32):
For example, our restaurants they're nine to ten thousand square feet.
Hipolis are fifteen hundred square feet maybe two thousand max.
So you have a real estate footprint that you couldn't
run on Chipotle revenue per unit.
Speaker 17 (01:20:43):
Right, you have to do more. The food we serve,
we serve lobster and crab.
Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
You can't sell that at Chipotle price points because you
pay too much for those products. So there's there's structural
differences in the businesses that would prevent that. But that said,
some of the things Pole is good at you can
be better at, right, like delivery, digital, you know, speed
of service. Those are things that people care about them.
Definitely you can learn from it.
Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Hold on, Remember I started off by saying acting like
I knew what I knew, said, acting like I know.
Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
So how do you say red lobster now?
Speaker 5 (01:21:14):
Right? Well, so the thing is you have to lean
into what made it successful in the first place, right, Like,
what do people love about red Lobster?
Speaker 17 (01:21:20):
There's reason it is what it is. Biscuits biscuits for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
And I also think a lot of us from where
we grew up that was you know, we went for graduation,
we went for celebratory. It felt like five stars, like
five stars until you got to make that's it. But
until all these other restaurants started popping up. Now, you know,
people look down on red Lobster when it comes to celebratory.
They'll go to you know, a p of changs, they'll
(01:21:46):
go to a towel, they'll go to an expensive steakhouse
because they don't look at Red Lobster as that I think,
but you know it's good, but you know, so how
do you change that way of thinking? So it used
to be it used to.
Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
Red Lobster is the first company to take these high
end seafood products across the country. It was the first
place you could get lobster, get crab for a lot
of people's their first experience. I went with to Red
Lobster in Springfield, Illinois when I used to live there,
when I was in you know, nine or ten, and
I remember that, So I think people a lot of
people have these memories after church on Sundays, you know,
important dinners, graduation, et cetera. The it's now you can
(01:22:29):
get these products in different places, but we're still the
only company at scale that serves lobster and crab. And
by the way, lobster and crab are wild caught products.
You can't form raise them, so they catch them on boats.
We buy twenty five percent of the lobster that's that's
caught on boats in North America.
Speaker 17 (01:22:42):
We buy a quarter of it.
Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
We buy a quarter of the crab that's caught by
virtue of our size and scale we can get the
best product, which we do. So the lobster you get it,
red lobster is as good as lobster you'll get anywhere.
But people don't know that, No, not at all, And
so there's a communication aspect to it that need to
let people know this is the best, this is the
best product you can get four lobster for crab.
Speaker 17 (01:23:00):
That's number one.
Speaker 5 (01:23:00):
Number two, you need to give people a reason. You know,
you mentioned Chipotle. If we're not going to be prices
to Chipole, then we need to offer something and that
totally doesn't offer and what that is is called service
and hospitality. Like you need to come in, you need
to feel like you're welcome, you need to feel like
you're a guest, you need to be taken care of.
You need to get it in connection with your server.
So it's food and its service is where we.
Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Win and ambiyonce. A lot of these restaurants.
Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
Don't look left to feels like McDonald's at times when
you walk out, the floors look very cold.
Speaker 5 (01:23:33):
The right word outdated. I did a I did a
remodel project. I totally agree. I did a remodel project
at PF Chanin's where we remodel eighty percent of the
restaurants right and if you go to them now, it's red, gold,
black like. So that's what we you know, we did that,
and so this needs something similar and we're working on that.
Speaker 17 (01:23:48):
That takes a bit of time.
Speaker 5 (01:23:50):
You have to design it, you have to scope it,
you have to test it, you have to prove the results.
Speaker 17 (01:23:54):
Then you have to raise the money. Then you have
to go. So that takes time. What you can do
now is improve service.
Speaker 5 (01:23:59):
We launch something we're called Red Carpet Hospitality and we
launched that a couple of weeks ago. If you go
and ask the server and Red Lobster about it, they'll
tell you about it. Red stands for recognize, engage in delight.
When people walk in, you need to recognize them. As
soon as they walk in. There should be somebody smiling
at the post stand to greet them. You see somebody,
you're within ten feet of them, You recognize them within
four feet you speak to them.
Speaker 17 (01:24:18):
We call the ten four rule.
Speaker 5 (01:24:19):
You make sure that you know when people need to
go to the bathroom, you walk them there.
Speaker 17 (01:24:23):
You don't point to the bathroom. You escort them.
Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
You make sure that you're connecting with them, you're talking
with them, you asking questions. So we're training these behavioral patterns.
That's something you can do today, right, and then trying
to highlight the quality of the food and introduce them
new things like the lobster rolls that are fun, that
are interesting, so food and service. And then the third
point for sure is ambyonce we fix the things we
can fix quickly, like the music is better. If you
go to the Red Lobster now, you'll notice the music
(01:24:46):
is better. And you'll notice there's small things like we
put the market prices on the lobster, we put the
liners on the tables. There's small things you can do now,
but comprehensively, there needs to be a remodel, right, and
that's something that we'll do in the future.
Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
All Right, we have more with the of Red Lobster.
The Mola Adam Logan. When we come back is the
breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is dej Envy Jess hilarious,
Charlamage the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still
kicking in with the CEO of Red Lobster, the Mola
Adam Locan.
Speaker 4 (01:25:14):
Yes, there was a list that women have put together, right,
of places that they don't want to be taken on
the first date. Red Labster was number eleven. Eleven, Yes,
it was number eleven. So what did do you? Would
you say that real lobster is a valley place for
a first date?
Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
I mean lobster a first date?
Speaker 17 (01:25:29):
Can you beat that?
Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
Yeah? First date?
Speaker 5 (01:25:33):
You want to share some main lobster, lobster tales, rock
lobster main right, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:25:39):
But also on that list it was PF Chain's and
cheesecake everything.
Speaker 5 (01:25:45):
I think, yes, it's these are chain restaurants, and there's
something about like chain versus independent. Now, if you make
the chain experience feel like an independent, like each restaurant's
its own and they have like a culture and personality,
then it's it doesn't feel like a chain. Yeah, and
there's restaurants that do that really well.
Speaker 17 (01:26:03):
And we're, you know, we're working to become that.
Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
But look, if you go in the date and have
some Cherry Bay biscuits, some lobster tail, some bar dye
crab like, people are gonna have a great time.
Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Did you'll stop the endless shrimp promotion? Yeah, it's done,
So no more endless shrimp. You got a messed up now, by.
Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
The way, that was the dumb wasn't a dumb promotion.
But don't promise people in dless shrimp because y'all never
give in.
Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
It was a challenge. I know people who've tried. They
do put a cap on it.
Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
He's tried. I've been in the restaurants, but they put
a cap on the end the shrimp.
Speaker 5 (01:26:31):
I mean, look, the way it was done didn't work.
I'm not saying it'll never be done, but it'll be
done in a way that's that's more sensible.
Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
Well sensible, because you guys, I'm gonna telling what people
to do. Going there with four people, one person order
endless shrimp and they just keep bringing mass shrimp for
the table.
Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
That's that's insensible. I mean, look, I mean these promotions
people do promotions like this. Olive Garden does a this
endless positive promotion like people do.
Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
These lives is a lie. They will put a cap
on your fast as different.
Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Because it fills you up so fast and it's cheap.
Speaker 17 (01:27:04):
Yeah yeah, and it's cheap, so they can do that.
Speaker 5 (01:27:06):
You just need to the mathe need to needs to
make sense.
Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
I'm looking at the lobster fress me and you right now.
I ain't gonna lie. I might go around Laftter this weekend.
I'm not I might send me. I'm like, I never
took my kids the Red Loss never never, And I'm like,
you know, like me in the White List, take the
kids the Red Lobster, just to see what they know
what for you. No, I'm not gonna tell you I'm going,
but I'm gonna tell you I know exactly which one
I'm going to to go to. But that one look
(01:27:31):
a little beat up, though it looks a lot big up.
But I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
That's why I was just asking that question.
Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
They don't look I passed it every morning and in
my mind, you know, you just thinking nostalgia. I'm like, damn, yo,
back in the day when I was young, that have
been perfect. The hotel right there, the red lobster, right
thing right, the red still perfect.
Speaker 17 (01:27:48):
Man, it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
That's a motel.
Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
But think about when you were seventeen eighty, that'd have
been perfect, right Well.
Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
Think about when Beyonce said it in the song yes
Me good, I take Red Lobster.
Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
What did that do for the.
Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Same I was here, that was before me. It's not
too late though, right right, because it's not too late
for that. Even when Riley mentioned it on the Boon Doctors.
You know, the Kelsey Brothers did something with us.
Speaker 5 (01:28:16):
So yeah, I mean part of part of the game
is to is to take advantage of cultural moments, right,
like when something happens in the culture, like you.
Speaker 17 (01:28:22):
Want to be on it.
Speaker 5 (01:28:22):
So that that's something that we weren't very good at
in the past and we need to get better after sure.
Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
Did you even talk to him about that? Like, did
anybody reach out to beyond? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
I can't speak to that and I wasn't here. But
for example, Flavor Flavor, we did wanted to save the
you know, wanted to save Red Lobster. Did you know
we did a promotion with them? So there's it's it's
important for sure, and uh yeah, I mean look now
Kelsey brothers reach out, we respond the same day, right like,
so we're we're engaging and it's important.
Speaker 3 (01:28:49):
How the weaponization of de I impacted you if at
all the people say, oh, he's a de I higher, No,
I've just been.
Speaker 17 (01:28:56):
So successful throughout my life.
Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
I don't get that.
Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
I aim to excel at everything I do and there's
very little evidence of me not excelling at anything that
I've tried to do, from football to Brown to Goldman
to TBG to Harvard to there's no real l's on
the not saying I won't fail it anything, and I
have failed at plenty.
Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
Let's go talk to them coaches.
Speaker 16 (01:29:16):
Well, there's a record out there that's funny nobody's talking about.
Speaker 5 (01:29:31):
That's a very funt but you know, and I'm not
saying that to Brad, But I'm just saying, you can
build a habit of excellence and that that's how that's
how you'll be viewed. Right, and so any I think
anybody can achieve, you just have to build these habits.
Speaker 17 (01:29:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:29:44):
Right, So it's really more motivation to people who are listening.
Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
What's your involvement with HBCU, What was real allowed to
deal with hbc Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
Look, I mean before that, Darden the founder of Red Lobster,
Bill Darden, who Darden Company is named after. That's all
of Garden, Texas, Longhorn, et cetera. So he's an important
restaurant tour and American history. The first restaurant that he
opened was Red Lobster, and that from the very beginning
had a really good relationship with the Black American community.
This is in sixty eight, so at the very end
of the Civil Rights movement, but from the very beginning,
(01:30:12):
black people were welcome to eat there, welcome to work there.
Speaker 17 (01:30:14):
And that was stan City from the very beginning.
Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
So it's always had a good relationship with Black America
from the start. You mentioned Beyonce mess Flavor flav It's
always had a position in culture. I'm just acknowledging it
and speaking to it and doing more for that to
try to build that. So HBCUs. We did Band of
the Year, right, We went to watch the band's perform.
Fan Move won, Miles won for the junior division, and
(01:30:38):
we gave the awards out. We sponsored it red Lobster,
and you know, millions of dollars went to scholarships and
things like that. So we're going to do more. You know,
that's a start, But it's an important community. It's one
that has been connected to the brand for a long time,
and it's a good place to spend time and spend
money on our behalf.
Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
All right, Well, we appreciate you for joining us and
bringing us some biscuits. Yeah, enjoy right, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (01:30:59):

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
Thank God, Cold Cold.
Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
We know Cold can rap. I can't even think of

Like that mount I love that.
Speaker 6 (01:33:49):
So y'all come and dream.

No, I told you I'm gonna come this year for
the last.
Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Cold gonna be there.
Speaker 25 (01:33:59):
This is the last one, all right, because I'm sure
on time, I'm gonna keep pushing it. I got this
new Coco Jones Taste Records that I really like the
Britneys but made it like slower and sensual. And then
my very last one, this came out on Valentine's Day,
but I was sick.
Speaker 6 (01:34:13):
But I'm a big fan.
Speaker 25 (01:34:14):
No, I mean, I mean, obviously, yes, Drake dropped too,
but he gets enough tension and.
Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
It ain't that good right from a woman.
Speaker 25 (01:34:24):
I always say, I'm trying to Drake complain about women
on records.
Speaker 9 (01:34:26):
It's like an R and B project, but.
Speaker 7 (01:34:28):
It's not love songs GA like one song on that.
Speaker 25 (01:34:31):
Tiffany with the Chanel and the I don't want to
hear it like I want to hear love.
Speaker 9 (01:34:35):
I want to hear something real R and B. So
but speaking of real R and B, let's get into it.
Speaker 6 (01:34:39):
Marie, but just dropped the album.
Speaker 9 (01:34:40):
Marie was one of my favorites.
Speaker 25 (01:34:41):
She's a part of this village village and my favorite
song on her project is called Hawk.
Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
You said it's an R and B. See what is
R and B anymore? You were upset at Drake for
not sounding like R and B. But that wouldn't that's
not like R and B. I love it though.
Speaker 9 (01:34:59):
I think that the only record on there where she
had like a verse.
Speaker 6 (01:35:02):
She's not a rapper at all.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Oh yeah, she sounds like she's doing it like a doperson.
Speaker 25 (01:35:08):
No no, no, she's not a singer, but she's like
she's more classical.
Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
Well you should have introduced her singing from but.
Speaker 6 (01:35:15):
She does R and B and R and B does.
Speaker 4 (01:35:21):
I could see where you're going with that little bit
of poppy rappers. That sounds like it wasn't good.
Speaker 6 (01:35:25):
She sounded great value. Y'all are in disrespect.
Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
No, I'm not trying to disrespect. I'm just saying that's
how it sounds like. Whenever you sound like a second
rate version of anybody, you know, that's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 25 (01:35:35):
But Mari, but really doesn't sound like anybody like She's
right there.
Speaker 9 (01:35:38):
She sounded like you got to listen to the tape.
Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
She's very you're the person playing the music. That's what
you presented my Now he got.
Speaker 6 (01:35:46):
One more time on.
Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
It's right there.
Speaker 5 (01:35:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
That is true, But I am a certified we know
I am.

Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
You know, every day doing Black History Month? My god,
BEATU puts out an episode of I didn't Know Maybe
you didn't either on The Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network,
and today he's gonna talk about the comparison of Winston
Salem State University and FAM you highlighting their history impacting
academic excellence.
Speaker 5 (01:38:19):
Let's discuss.
Speaker 3 (01:38:22):
I didn't know, I didn't know.
Speaker 22 (01:38:26):
Okay, both of your seat belts, and let's take a
road trip through black excellence. First stop, Winston Salem, North Carolina.
Winston Salem State University founded in eighteen ninety two by
Simon g Atkins. You know how bold you got to
be the founder university in eighteen ninety two, that man
said segregation. Jim Crow ain't nobody got time for that,
(01:38:49):
so he started Slater Industrial Academy, which is now Winston
Salem State University. Back then you were learning bricklaying and cooking.
Today you might be in a nursing lab, putting our
v and mannequins, or recording your podcasts in one of
the only Adobe labs on an HBCU campus. Simon Giak
is probably looking down at WSSU like that single mom
(01:39:10):
be looking at them kids open them Christmas presents on
Christmas morning, and no, let me talk about the legend
who walk through those doors of Winston Salem State University.
You ever heard of Lewis Farrakhan a WSSU grab.
Speaker 3 (01:39:23):
You ever been watching.
Speaker 22 (01:39:24):
Wilding Out and seeing Chico Bean? Yeah, being a RAM two.
The name of our band is the Red Sea of Sound.
Our cheerleaders or you may have seen them on the
ground stomp and shake excellence. We talking about Powerhouse of
Red and White. And around two thousand and seven, Shavon
Oestrada pretty much revolutionized the version of stomping shake that
(01:39:45):
we see today, but that's a whole nother episode. One
of the most notable chants at Winston Salem State University
is chewed up backcut, chewed up backcut, chewed up backcut, spit.
If you ain't a ram, then you ain't. We try
to keep it PG for the children and the elderly
that want to sing along. That's good, old su. Now,
(01:40:08):
let's head down I ninety five to Tallahassee, Florida and
visit Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, better known as FAM You.
Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
They got a chant too. It's usually led by loose kid.
Speaker 22 (01:40:20):
He'll say I represent an all the rat Let's say
Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, October third, eighteen eighty seven.
What exactly Fam You was found at October third, eighteen
eighty seven. Now Tallahassee, Florida has seven huge heels, and
the part of Florida they gave fam was the highest heel,
(01:40:43):
but it was filled with rattlesnakes. So the state of
Florida was like, y'all can have fifteen acres and two mules.
Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
Good luck. So what did FAM You do?
Speaker 22 (01:40:52):
Turned it into one of the top HBCUs in the country.
They embraced those rattlesnakes and became the fam You rat
And if you meet any Rattler, they'll let you know
that they're from the highest of seven hills.
Speaker 3 (01:41:06):
That's right.
Speaker 22 (01:41:06):
Fam You sits at the highest points in Tallahassee, Florida.
Even Florida State got to look up at the Rattlers
and they hate that. Fam You is so iconic it
makes you want to enroll just for homecoming, no cap
I experienced it last year. And don't let the march
in one hundred touch the field? Have you ever seen
them before? The band might do as much work as
(01:41:27):
the football team on Saturdays. And Fam You has some
of the dopest alumni in the game. Keisha Lance Bottoms,
the former mayor of Atlanta. Fam You grad What about
the movie director Will Packer here rattler and he even
got a perform in Arts Amphitheater right on campus. So
whether it's Winston Salem State University with the motto enter
to Learn, depart to serve in the heart of North
(01:41:49):
Carolina or Fam You with the motto excellence, it's carrying
down there in the sunshine State.
Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
These schools are more than just campuses.
Speaker 22 (01:41:58):
They're launching pads for greatness and they're two of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (01:42:02):
Okay, bye, no.
Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
I will happy Black History mon go that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:42:09):
And salute to my guy bet Dot. Make sure you
subscribe to I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either on
the Black Effect. iHeart Radio podcast network available everywhere you
listen to podcasts.

All right, when we come back, we got the positive
note is the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning. Everybody is
DJ env Jess hilarious, Chelamaine the guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. Load on the Rosa filling in for Jess.
We gotta salute Jasmine Crockett Congresswoman Jasmin Crockett for stopping
through Man.
Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
Always a pleasure when Jasmine pulls up Man. The reason
I like Jazmine so much is because she's just able
to communicate in message, and that is a problem that
the Democrats have. They should be leaning on Jasmine Crockett
for her messaging. They should be leaning on AOC for
her messaging. Whatever they trying to tell people, they need
to tell them first so they can translate and then
(01:42:52):
bring it to the masses.
Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
And also salute to the CEO of Red Lobster, Demola
Adam Lokin. I know I said his name wrong, but
he's to see you a Red Lops but you.
Speaker 3 (01:43:00):
Know, and once again I told him during the interview,
he's one of those people that folks always ASKU. It's like,
what's your favorite interview? Or you know, who do you
want to interview? And I never know who we want
to interview, Like it's never a thing, like I'm never
sitting around thinking like the only person I ever wanted
the interview was Judy Bloom, like wanted to like that's
my whole life. But when I saw his name on
the schedule, I'm like, that's somebody I wanted to talk to.
I'm glad we got to have that conversation. Yes, all right,
(01:43:23):
Well you got a positive note I do. My positive
note is simple. I want everybody out there to remember this.
Successful people have a sense of gratitude. Unsuccessful people have
a sense of entitlement.
Speaker 7 (01:43:36):
Have a nice day, you are right, breakfast club, you
don't finish or y'all done

Yeah, Chris had, Chris bosh had, yeahrocious.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
All right, y'all, let's get into it.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
So President Trump hosted a reception at the White House
honoring Black History Month yesterday. So during the event, Trump
claimed he received more votes from black Americans than any
other Republican president ever, while jokingly asking the crowd he
should run again.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Now.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
The ceremony comes as the administration has been cracking down
on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, with Trump issuing an
executive order last month ending the federal government's DEI programs.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Now.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Following that that order, the Department of Defense also came
out with guidance declaring Identity months dead, so there will
be no Pride Month, no Black History Month. But Trump
was joined on stage by golf legend Tiger Woods as
a as well as several prominent black.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Tiger Woods stop being black. I thought Tiger Wood never
wanted to be black. I thought he was comblination. Yo.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
They said, if he blame, why can't be black?
Speaker 9 (04:34):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Okay, So Tiger Woods was there, Several other black prominent
figures were there.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Supposedly Kodak Black.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Kodak was there.
Speaker 10 (04:43):
Koa q.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
I was gonna say he pardoned them. So there's that.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
But let's take a listen to Trump's remarks during the
Black History Months ceremony at the White House.
Speaker 11 (04:53):
Today, we paid tribute to the generations of black legends, champions, warriors,
and patriots who helped drive our country forward to greatness.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And you really are.
Speaker 11 (05:03):
Great, great people, What a great, nice group of I.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Have some people in front of me every once in
a while, with.
Speaker 11 (05:11):
All the problems that are caused all over the world.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
They're not nice.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
They're not nice, but we're making but we're making them nice,
I can tell you that. And we're making them nice rapidly.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
What making them nice and making them nice rapidly.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
So during his speech, he also spoke about the Garden
of Heroes, which is located along the National Mall, saying
the space will be the new home to statues, bus plaques,
and other markers celebrating heroic figures in American history. Of course,
that includes some iconic black figures that t hear more
from Trump on the Garden of Heroes.
Speaker 11 (05:45):
The garden will predominantly feature incredible women like Harriet Tubman,
Rosa Parks, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, and Coretta Scott King,
and I will showcase extraordinary. It will be something very extraordinary.
It's gonna be producing. We're going to produce some of
(06:06):
the most beautiful works of art in the form of
a statue for men like Frederick Douglas, Booker, T. Washington,
Jackie Jackie Robinson. What a great athlete that was, Martin
Luther King Jr. Muhammad Ali usually not a bad athlete.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
What do you think?
Speaker 11 (06:23):
Muhammad not too bad? And the late Kobe Bryant. People
love Colby.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
You guys his thoughts.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
All right.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
So that's the Black History Month ceremony at the White House.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Uh so this comes at the same time the wild
White House is marking one month officially since President Trump
has been back in office. Officials touted accomplishments in immigration
and the economy achieved by Trump since its inauguration. Let's
hear more from White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt and
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller with more
(07:03):
comments about the president's first month in office.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Today marks one month of President Trump's return to the
oval office, and there is no denying this administration is
off to a historic start.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
No president comes close to what Donald Trump has achieved
over just the last thirty days. He has packed eight
years of transformative action, restoring this nation, restoring our laws,
restoring fairness, restoring economic opportunity, restoring national security.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Restoring is relative depending on who you are.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
But the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett and CEO
said CEO confidence is that it's highest it's been in years.
National Security Advisor Mike Walls also noted that the US
has been in a c change in its foreign policy
since Trump's return to office. So what do you guys think.
I mean, it's been a month. We've seen a lot.
There's been a lot of executive orders that have come down.
(07:57):
A lot of those have also been blocked.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's just been a lot of chaos and a lot
of mess over the past month, especially in regards to
what Dolge is doing. But you know what, you asked
us something earlier, You asked us what we thought about, uh,
his White House? What it was? It was the honoring
Black Christry month with the White House, and it did
just come to me. I'm not impressed by any of
that symbolism from any president, regardless of what party they're from. Democrat,
are Republican, like the statues you know in the garden.
(08:23):
That's cool, but I want something. I always want something
tangible for the black community, like plant some money trees
in the black community, plant some money trees in the hood.
That's what That's what my mind is always at when
it comes to when you ask me that. That's why
I was just like, I don't. I don't think anything
of it because I'm never impressed by symbolism from any party,
just statues. Okay, I'm not mad at the statues though,
(08:43):
I'm not mad at that, but that ain't what is that?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay. The reason I say I'm not mad at that
is is because if you are ever a child and
you got to tour the White House, you never seen
anything that looked like you. So the fact that you've
seen people that look like you in statues and the
fact that they have Barack Obama and Michelle Obama and
things that look like you, that that reflect where you're from.
I'm not mad at sure, but.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I always want something more for the black community. I
want something tangible. I want you. I want something that's
really going to improve our condition.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And I hope them black kids get there. Because he
don't like to include us and things. You remember, he's
getting ready of DEI everywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And you know, like I said, plants some money trees,
and plants some money trees in the hood, like give
us something tangible that can actually improve our condition. Like
I always say, it was systemic things that you know,
put you know, Black people in the position that we're in.
And it's gonna be systemic things that help us to
get out. So that's where my mind is always that,
regardless of who's in the White House.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
All right, And as far as the first thirty days,
Jasmine Cracker to be here next hour, and I'm sure
she'll break down. The first thirty days is very true.
All right, Well, thank you Morgan.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
How y'all doing?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
What's up?
Speaker 17 (14:35):
Brother?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Get it off your chest?
Speaker 18 (14:37):
I'm just a little upset of Anthony Edwich photograph for
talking to Obama like that, man, Like if y'all really
dissect the whole situation, he wasn't playing at all. Obama
was really just trying to start a conversation with him,
you know what I'm saying, and he took.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It way left, like he did it call Lebrono.
Speaker 13 (14:51):
That's why when he called Lebrono where he's like, man, y'all.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
Talking to this young man, Like why is he talking
to me like that?
Speaker 18 (14:56):
Like that's the first black president, bro like Jeffy but
nah manna man.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Like yeah, listen, Brocca is the first black president. But
he's still a man, and he's an og half a
black man who's also a hooper.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
He's a hoop.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
He didn't even take nothing.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
He didn't even he wasn't even offended by it.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
He's a hoop. He actually told Anthony at the end
of the conversation that's how you supposed to feel.
Speaker 18 (15:18):
Man, go back to the very end when when he
was telling him good back, Anthony was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
like completely.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He hops they talking trash to each other.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But you know why though, because Obama little of them.
Here's the thing. You know, if I'm talking to you
right now, I'd be like, oh, I see you got
your little car. You know what I'm saying. I see
you with your little your little your little new sneakers
on Obama hit him with a little Obama a young.
Speaker 18 (15:43):
Boy, in my opinion, In my opinion, he was just
trying to start a conversation with a young man like
Charam Layne. How would you feel if your if he
was your son, and your son spoke to the president
like that? Like would you be happy if he spoke
to him that in that kind of way?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And that and that in that context, I would have
no problem with it because they talking basketball, They talking hoops, man,
like what we're talking about here? Like Obama was messing
with him, and Anthony gave him that energy back like
I don't see the problem.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I don't see a problem.
Speaker 13 (16:09):
Okay, Okay, we agree to disagreement.
Speaker 18 (16:11):
But I love y'all doing. I was listening to y'all
every morning. Man, y'all have a good one.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yes, this conversation is really silly to me. Obama knew
what he was doing. Obama, That's why Obama was like,
what's up with this guy? All right? Right, y'all got
a little game to him?
Speaker 17 (16:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
What he's doing about? I would say, I got your
side sneaking in the call. We can go play right now.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
In more than any other words, ain't nothing over here,
little at all. You're right, Yeah, I'm good drunk.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hello, Who's This's DC from Texas?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Man, what's up?
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Breadford Blood?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
What's up? DC? Get it off his chest?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Brother, Man.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
I've just been in in a space and I've been
hearing everybody saying all this stuff, you know, the politics
and everything, and I think if as the black people, man,
we ought to ship ship our energy to trying to
understand and kind of let the stuff play out, man,
because to me, nobody, nobody is happy with what's going on.
And I just I've been in a space where I'm thinking, like,
you know, change is always radical and always looks it
(17:05):
always looks real bad in the beginning, but hopefully eventually,
you know, it'll all shake out, because like you know,
we had President Linde B. Johnson years ago saying I
don't have those in words those Democrats for the next
four hundred years, and now look where we're at with it,
and it's like, you know, sometimes we might need to
do something different just because like we keep getting the
same results with with the other party. And I'm not
(17:26):
I'm not advocating for any party, but I'm just saying,
like in this instance, right now, with all this stuff
going on, I think God shift our focus to not
being so crooical and preparing ourselves to work with what
we have going on because it's here like we can't
change it. Ripen and moaning about it and saying everything
he does is not going to help us out. And
I think our country is isn't a place to where
you know, you can listen to you can you can
(17:48):
tell who's somebody voting for, about what news stations they
walked to, what radio is to do. There's nobody that's
you know, that's that's that's sharing both sides. And I
think that's part of the problem when you just have
one side always talking down about one side to the
other side, you know, right versa. So I just believe
that if we try to, you know, work with what
we got going on, we might can see it a
little more progress.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Hey, I hear you. You know what I'm saying, And
I don't disagree, but I will say this, man, I
don't know what color these federal workers are that are
losing their jobs.
Speaker 17 (18:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
When I was in Maryland a couple of weeks and
weekends ago for my daughter's cheerleading competition. There was black people,
white people, Asian people walking up to me telling me
how you know, they're losing their job or they potentially
will lose their job. And for me, all I ever
want any government official to do is make sure that
American people got some money in their pocket and to
make sure that they feel safe and secure. You can't
(18:37):
do that when you know you don't you don't have
a job. So that's all that's all I ever care about.
That's right. So when I see these people complaining, it
don't matter to me what race they are, don't matter
to me what party they are. These are people who
can't feed their families. These are people who can't keep
a roof over their head because according to data, fifty
nine percent of Americans are considering one pay check away
from being broke. When you see these tens of thousands
of people losing their jobs, that's what I care about.
(18:59):
I want to fix that. I want to store that down.
I don't want that to happen once again, regardless of
who's in the White House.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
one oh five one. We got just with the mess
coming up, Yes we do.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Angela Bassett is finally speaking out about her viral at
the Oscars in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Not a Great time Last night drunk.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Basically, listen, Angela Basket. Is Angela Basket telling y'all about
She's telling y'all leave her alone. Okay, she deserves to
be disappointed. She deserved that Oscar's Friday.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
All right, we blame this. Now, let's take you out.
We got to have a conversation with nieces Man. All right,
we'll get to I know what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That's what.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's the Breakfast Club Board, the Breakfast Club, Good morning,
Everybody's t J n V, Jess hilarious, charlamage, the God
we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Let's get to Jess with the mess you use.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Is real, whether it's Marius, Jessica, Robbin Moore, just don't do.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No lines, don't do talk Nobody talk.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Them ro why Jess worldwide mass.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He's the Coaches Shows with Lauren Lauren Ros. I'm and
I got the mess talked Timmy talk drunkie.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Oh I thought and was going to bring it in
or something. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Okay, So Angela, No, I'm not stopped saying that Angela Bassett.
Y'all remember in twenty twenty three, we thought, well, now
she she's going on to win some awards. But we
thought that Angela Bassett was going to finally get her Oscar.
In twenty twenty three for Wakanda, she was nominated for
Best Supporting Actress in that lane. In the category at
(20:38):
the time too, was Jamie Lee Curtis, who actually ended
up winning the award, And when it was announced, the
camera payed to her, to Angela Bassett, and her reaction
was she was visibly like upset. You could tell that
she was upset, and normally when this happened, especially with
a big name like that, you know the camera's gonna
pay to you, you don't really react anyway that can
be taken away or made news. And it was a
(21:00):
complete opposite. So it became such a big story of
her reaction, especially because it had been years and years
and years of her being invited to the Oscars, her
being deserving of an award and not being nominated. So
people felt like, y'all keep playing in her face and
people were upset about it. She was upset about it.
Jonathan Majors and Michael Jordan actually came out and showed
her some love. Right after that happened, he Yautie, we
(21:23):
love you. And that became like a viral moment as
well too, because people were flooding her Instagram comments. We
were all over Twitter, news, a list wherever we could say, yo,
we love Angela Bassett, and she deserved that people were
saying it. Now after this, she sat down and talked
to Oprah. After that moment when viral, Angela Bassett sat
down and talked to Oprah, and she said that she
was gobsmacked, like she was basically really caught off guard
(21:47):
and disappointed. But now she's opening up. She's talking to
Town in the Country magazine. She's promoting a show called
Zero Days that she's in on Netflix, and in this
interview she tells them it's a written interview. She tells
them that she felt like she wasn't allowed to be disappointed,
that people literally wrote articles about her and had so
much to say about the fact that she as a
human person was visibly disappointed and she should have been
(22:08):
allowed to be disappointed in that moment. I love that
she said that because she kept it all in for
so long, kept it really cute.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
And very classy, as she always does.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
But I love to hear her say I deserve to
be able to feel in that moment and y'all need
to leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Angela Bastard is the woman in the garden. She deserves
it all, Okay, And I'm biased when it comes to
Angela basket because the reality is she should have won
in nineteen ninety four for what's love got to do
with it? So I personally believe she should win everything everywhere,
all the time. Not only is she one of the
most incredible actresses ever, she's one of the most beautiful
creations God has ever designed. Going to clues bombs to
Angela Bassett.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely right. I mean Hollywood is so fake.
What am I supposed to just smile as somebody gets
in the war that I worked hard for and I
think I deserve. Yes, I can show emotion. I could
be pissed off. That doesn't mean I don't I don't,
you know, feel happy for you. Yeah, I'm pissed off
out of it.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I could be. I think sometimes people mistake that for
hate hating on you because you won. But I damn
sure wanted to win. Yes, like at the end of
games when teams lose, they be having their head down
the kicking gatorade buckets, slamming stuff on the floor. Nobody
else says, damn man, they acting like so it loses, no,
like nobody wants to lose.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Congratulations to you, but I wanted to wait.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, And she went on and to win, you know,
other awards, and actually ended up getting her Academy Award
after that. But she did mention she said, I love
applauding people, but in that moment she talks about that
she felt like she put in the hard work to
be recognized. And she said, uh, she said, I thought
I had put in the work, and then she corrected herself.
She said, no, I had put in, put in the time,
(23:41):
put in the good work over time. I didn't think
that that was a gift. I thought it was a given, basically,
like if I'm doing the work, how y'all don't see
me type of thing. And I think a lot of
people love to act like that doesn't matter. So I
love to hear her speak about this, especially at the
point that she's at in her career. And she said
it was a tough one because you know, She's really
respected amongst her peers, but he felt like the establishment
at that time didn't respect her.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Auntie, she well deserves. She deserves everything she gets.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
They Audie just don't have the taste that they think
they have, because how do you not award her? In
nineteen ninety four, Fords Love Got to Do It one
of the most iconic roles ever. People look at that
and think that, you know how long I thought that
was Tina Turner? Actually I was young and I ain't know.
I thought she was actually Tina Turner. But at the
end of the movie they showed her real Tina. But
(24:26):
even when they showed her real Tina, you gotta rub
your eyes a little bit like.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Oh, did you also think that she really burned the
car down?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
To Oh? Of course?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And waiting next?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Hell, come on, man, absolutely, I love that.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
What you got next?
Speaker 19 (24:39):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Really?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
So?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Is that really finally spoke out following being basically proven
that or I don't know, I wouldn't No, I was
going to say basically being proven as a liar, But
I can't say that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But what did the speak out to say?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
So after asap, Rocky was proved was found not guilty
in the shooting of acep Lly. He posted something with
ig story said, gossip as a form of entertainment for
people who have no meaningful goals or purpose in life.
Hate me, bring shame to my name, say bad things
about me. I don't care. Your existence doesn't add any
value in my life.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Now in the art, I know, social media when crazy.
They were like, godsman, what about I know they went crazy.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Now, I will say in the article that pinpointed this,
they did mention your dounky today that you gave him no.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Yeah, so maybe saw that too.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I'm sure he's seen that, and I'm sure that that
upset them because yes, if he lied on the stand correct.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Uh yeah, so there was there were things that were
debunked on the sand of the Ha said. And I
will say, as we are wrapping up to that, I
did reach out to Joe Tacopina, a SAPs attorney. You know,
I said this before I went out last night, and
he he did tell me that. Right now, they're putting
together transcripts because they want to submit it to the
people the establishing the establishments. That may be because they
(25:51):
do want to push for a perjury. They want to
make sure that that.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I feel like anybody that lies on that stand, that
tries to put somebody away, that tries to sue, somebody
that lies to gain for themselves should have to face
the music.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Absolutely, except Joe trying to make.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Sure to stop people from lying on the stand.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
I mean that's a that's a known thing, that perjury
is the thing.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, but most people, but most people, when they do that,
there's no consequences for them.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Think about it, everybody. Perjury is definitely consequences of perjury.
You're under a perjury.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
A lot of people at that purge understand nothing ever happens.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
I think you're talking about the Purge, the movie or something.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I think you mean lying about I think you're talking
about lying about allegations. Period. That's what you're talking about.
You get on that stand and you lie and commit perjury,
you're gonna get You're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Well he should get in trouble. All right, Well that's
just with the mess you Yeah, I'm good. Come backwards
from ten five three one. He said, all right, well
we come back. We got front page News and the
Jasmine Crockett congressmen from Texas will be joining us. We'll
talk to her next uncle anywhere. It's breakfast club. Good morning,
(26:59):
you're checking out the breakfast club. Good morning everybody with
DJ Envy Jess, hilarious, charlamage the guy. We are the
breakfast club law on the ROSA filing and for jests,
and let's get in some front page news. If you're
dietn't listened early as felt when Beyama he will have
missed the remainder of the season. He has a blood
clot in his right shoulder. Damn, so he will miss that.
(27:19):
And also Milwaukee Bucks Bobby Portois, he was suspended twenty
five games for violating the NBA's anti drug policy. All right,
what up Morgan?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
So a federal judge says President Trump's mass firings of
government employees can continue for now. Multiple labor unions recently
filed a lawsuit trying to block the administration's layoffs of
thousands of probationary employees, while on Thursday, a judge denied
that bid, saying the federal court was not the appropriate avenue.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
For their lawsuit. So if they can file the lawsuit
is just not with the feeds.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Despite the denial, the judge did indicate that he was
sympathetic to the Union, saying many of Trump's executive orders
caused disruption and even chaos and widespread quarters of American
society switching gears. To the Conservative Political Action Conference also
known as SEAPAC twenty twenty five that's underway, Vice President JD.
Vance he spoke, and he talked about President Trump's efforts
(28:12):
to slash federal spending and at the political conference that
bills itself as the most influential gathering of conservatives in
the world now. Vance also spoke about Trump's efforts to
end the war in Ukraine with Russia. Let's hear more
from Vice President Vance at SEAPAC twenty twenty five.
Speaker 19 (28:29):
I think all of us are sitting around and asking,
what the hell are we doing with the American people's
money for the last four years.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Let's turn off.
Speaker 19 (28:36):
The spigot and spend the American people's tax money on
the American people's priority. And that's of course been a
big focus in the administration too. He wants the killing
to stop, he wants to bring lasting peace to Europe.
He doesn't just want to stop it now and have
the war restart a month from now. He wants to
bring lasting peace to Europe.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So Vance also talked about Trumps immigration policy, saying drug
traffickers free in this country is over with Trump back
in office. This year's gathering is expected to be a
celebration of President Trump's MAGA movement after Republicans sweeping victory
in November. Trump is also scheduled to speak at the
conference on Saturday. Other speakers expected to grace the States
(29:17):
or House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senators Ted Cruz, Rick Scott,
and Bordersar Tom Polman, speaking of which Ukrainian President Zelensky
says he did have a productive meeting with President Trump's
envoy to Russia and Ukraine. In a post on ex
Zelensky said he is grateful to the United States for
all the assistants and bipartisan support for Ukraine and the
Ukrainian people now.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
Earlier this week, US officials met with.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Russia to discuss the end of its war with Ukraine,
and Zelensky's meeting with Keith Kellogg came a day after
he called Trump.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
He and Trump went back and forth over those talks.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Now Trump called Zelensky a dictator without elections, while Ukrainian
leader Zelensky said Trump is living in this disinformation bubble.
So the drama kind of continues, but we're going to
ease back a little bit and BPC politically correct. Bringing
things to New York. Governor Kathy Hokel is deciding not
to remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office,
but she is putting limits on his power now. Hockel
(30:10):
says she's troubled by the allegations against the mayor. She
is proposing legislation to create a special Inspector General to
manage the city's affairs and give the city Council Speaker, comptroller,
and public advocate independent authority to take legal action against
the federal government. Let's hear more from New York Governor
Kathy Hokul.
Speaker 20 (30:28):
Not just the initial indictment, but also the more recent
allegation of a quid pro quo with the Trump administration.
The State Inspector General we be able to direct the
New York City Department of Investigations, and the Mayor will
only be able to move the Department Investigations Commissioner with
the approval of the State Inspector General. The Trump administration
has said is already trying to use the legal jeopardy
(30:50):
facing Our mayor has leveraged to squeeze and punish our city.
The President's already trying to weaken our public transit system.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
She's talking about the congestion price and she's still about that.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
So Hoko believes that the will of the voters preclude
her power to remove him. She says she wants to
expand funding to the state promptroller for city oversights, so
she's gonna limit those the powers that be for mayor.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Eric's crazy. That's that's like, yeah, you're not grounded, but
you can't lead a house. That's pretty much what they're saying, like, Yeah,
that's The're not gonna take you out, but we're gonna
watch what you do and limit what you can do.
So he's so basically he doesn't have full control as mayth.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
No he does not, No, no, that would not be
the case.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
So you might as well take him out. If he
can't do everything he's supposed to be doing as a man,
you might as well just take him out.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
If it might be something, because they're trying to push
him to just resign.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Yeah, I was gonna say, it sounds like it could
be a you know, a push to resign or you
know they push him out to resign. To your point, Lauren, absolutely,
and just switching gears to another story out of New York.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
Very sad.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
Six upstate New York corrections officers are now facing murder
charges and the death of an inmate caught on body cam.
Now the six officers charged with murder and three others
accused of manslaughter for not stopping the December attack where
they were arraigned after a special prosecutor unsealed the charges
on Thursday.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
Now.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Robert Brooks was the inmate.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
He was killed during a vicious attack inside the Marcie
Correctional facility. The state released bodycam video around that the
time of the special prosecutor was appointed. It appears to
show officers restraining, kicking, and beating Brooks and more. All

Thank you, Thank you, Morgan Morgan. Now when we come back,
Jasmine Crockett will be joining us. She's the congress woman
from the Texas and we're gonna talk to her next.
It don't go anywhere as the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club. Only everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
Charlamage the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
(33:06):
a special guest in the building.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
One of the best messages in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's right, we have you women, Jasmine Crockett, welcome.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Back one morning. I am you be clapping back, you bet,
wake up by you. But we don't have any hearings
this early. I just want to be weird. Nothing starts
before ten o'clock.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
How are you? First and foremost? How you feeling?
Speaker 6 (33:27):
I'm over it?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's only been what has it been thirty days? Yet
this this fool is driving me crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You eat sleeper this though? Like do you mean like
do you do never? Like just turn off, turn the
TV off? Like everything, Like, you know what, I don't
want to think about it.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
I don't want to do nothing as much as I
don't want to think about it. I definitely stop watching
the news as much as I used to.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
But people are like DM and me. They're sending me emails,
We're constantly getting phone calls. So no, I don't turn off.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Is there anything good that this administration has done so far,
anything that you can say, well, at least that's a
good day.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Not nothing. I thought Bernie Sanders post yesterday about uh,
he likes what Trump is attempting to do with the
Pentagon by auditing them and stuff.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Like that, attempting let's see it happen. Here's the reality.
I serve on the Oversight Committee. That's where all the
drama typically happens. And we've had Department of Defense come
before us a number of times. The vast majority of
the waste brought in abuse that we have in this
country is Department of Defense. You can google and find
out that at some point in time we were spending
like one thousand dollars per toilet or something. So that's
(34:30):
where we see these inflated costs. That's where we have
a lot of contractors. That's where they play a lot
of games. That's where Elin gets. The vast majority of
his money is out of defense. And when they come
before us and we ask them about their audit, they
haven't had a clean audit in the last six times
we've asked for an audit. So the fact that they're
going to start with people that are getting six dollars
(34:51):
a day to eat, or they want to go after
the little old lady that's just trying to get her
little health care and they believe that that's what the
savings is. That's not where the say, nor is it
going after career civil servants and saying, oh, let me
take your coins, let me take your job.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Because when we add.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Up, even if we fired everybody that works for the
federal government, it's only maybe four or five percent of
our budget, but over or approximately fifty percent of our
discretionary budget is defense and they can't pass an audit.
So why we didn't start there where Elon has decided
that he was going to get two new contracts just
(35:29):
in two weeks, one for four hundred million dollars to Tesla,
another for a little over three hundred million dollars to SpaceX.
I don't know why we didn't start there, but it
seems like we could find a lot of waste, brought
an abuse because again they've not been able to pass
an audit.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
School school me on this too, Right, Bill Clinton did
the National Partnership for Reinventing Government. He essentially Elon's saying,
he's essentially doing the same thing Bill Clinton did. As
far as, like, you know, making the government smaller or
more efficient, what do you say to that, what's the
difference what Clinton did in the nineties.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
And so there's a lot that's different. But I do
want to start with because I actually looked at the numbers.
We really work kind of big.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
We actually had more people working in the federal government
when Bill Clinton was in office initially than we have now.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
You know, the differences. The country's just a little bit bigger, right,
So chances.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Are you would need more. And we're talking about the
people that are delivering your mail. You're talking about the
people because all y'all about to start calling us somema
someone I ain't got my tax refund check?
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Okay, So like.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Firing the irs, we're talking about, you know, the people
that do FAA. So the planes don't fall out the sky, right,
So we have a lot more going on, and we
literally don't even have as many people as we had
working when he came in, so we were a little
kind of bloated when it came down to it. But
also all presidents should have advisors, and that's essentially what.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
He had, was an advisor.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
What they have said is that Elon is the one
that cut off the specket of money like this is
after money was appropriated and then he's like, oh no, no, no,
you can't get that money. And now people are dying
in other countries because USAID has stopped. And I want
to be clear about something. You can shut down USAID
if you want to, but that has to be done congressionally.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Okay, that's number one. Number two, USAID is less than
one percent of our budget. So they over here talking
about some oh.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
They had and out condoms and they doing this and
all this kind of stuff. It's literally less than one
percent of our budget because they don't want you to
pay attention to the over ninety nine percent of the budget,
where yes, I would say most of the waste, fraud,
and abuse is actually still at the hands of somebody
like Eli Musk, like these bootleg trucks that he decided
that he was going to sell the federal government. I
(37:41):
think maybe at one hundred thousand dollars. I don't know
what the price is per truck or whatever. But he's
selling these trucks at the same time that he's getting
rid of all the people that were conducting investigations over
him about Tesla, investigations about SpaceX.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
He got rid of all those people. And even in
that interview that Trump.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Just did, he's like, asked by Fox News of all places, right,
He's asked, well, you know who's going to oversee Elon
and make sure his conflicts are good?
Speaker 6 (38:11):
He's like, oh, Elon is like, I mean, because I
got a whole body.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Of people that's over me, Like I don't just get
to decide what it's like right and wrong, and honestly,
I'm not allowed to take any money, Like I have
to live a very poor life right now, right, like you'reid.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
I could be getting paid.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
I've made more money before, I will make more money
up right now.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
I am living not in the overflow. No, I mean.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yeah, yeah, listen, no, no, no, And I had to
shut them down because first they said that I had
a husband.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
No husband, y'all.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
First they said I had a husband, and they said
that I was paying him half a million dollars to
keep me safe. And people were like he should be
doing it for free. And I was like, I don't
know if y'all mix up the playground home or if
y'all just think every black girl that comes to Congress
brings a husband who has to live off. That's not
what it is. Okay, no husband, never been married, never
(39:12):
been engaged. A right, that's number one. So then they said, well,
she's worth nine million dollars and she's got all these homes.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
When I first got to Congress, about two weeks in,
there was a case that I've been working for seven years.
It was a civil rights case, one of my last
two civil rights cases, and I still got one pen in.
So just so y'all know, if I gotta resign, I'm
a resigned.
Speaker 6 (39:33):
But nevertheless it goes to trial, I'm unable to participate.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Because I'm not supposed to be. But I'm in this
wine down period. It actually hits for about twenty two
million dollars. So ethic says, you can't collect your attorneys
feel on that at all. Now, mind you, I worked
this case before I ever ran for Congress, right, so
like that gives you an idea of how far they
go when it comes to the contry.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
No, but here's the deal. I would have resigned and
I will.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
No, I'm not going to play with my money like
y'all tripping, because I worked on that case for seven years.
It was against a very small city that literally can't
pay it. Now, if for some reason they go find
the coins, then absolutely, I'm resigning, forcing a special election
and I'll win.
Speaker 13 (40:14):
Right.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
But I do have another one that is penning, and
it's pinning against the city of Dallas, and the officer
in that case actually played guilty. If the City of
Dallas does pay up, you heard it here. First, You're
resigning and it will be a seven figure payday for
me because as an attorney, yeah, we do have cases
that hit for millions of dollars. It's not really that odd.
(40:37):
The thing is that I've always been a bleeding herd liberal.
I have, so I was doing more criminal defense than anything.
I wasn't really doing a lot of the big million
dollar cases unless I was helping out the homies. I've
got plenty of cases where I've gone into court help
homies get seven figure results, but.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
That never was me.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
I just wanted to be comfortable. And now I got,
you know, deal with Congress said.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
You can resign and didn't run again and said.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Ye now, yeah, we have more of a congress woman
Jasmine Crockett. When we come back, it's the breakfast Club.
Good morning morning. Everybody is tj envy just hilarious, charlamage,
na gud. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking
it with Jasmine crocket Now do you think what Trump
is doing now is to throw people off? Is the
well were possibly gonna give you guys five thousand dollars
(41:22):
as the district possibly gonna take the congestion prices, say
hello to the king. You think he's doing those things
to say, you know what all the rest of our stuff,
These people won't even check me because I'm doing they
think I'm doing this.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
He knows that they're not gonna check them, right, Like,
I mean, you can go back and play the clips
of him talking about how he loves the uneducated. Right,
if you would ever run for president he was run
as a Republican like and we know, like, this isn't
me trying to throw shade. These are just the facts
when you look at who's voting for who the less
educated folks. And when I say educated, I'm not even
talking about formal education. I'm talking about people that literally
(41:56):
don't want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those
are the people that vote for the Republicans. And this
one of the reasons that we have to stop writing
in theses as Democrats, right, Like, we want to give
you every single little detail that we can find so
that you can have all the information. But the reality
is that the average person that is going out there
and voting, they're not paying attention to that. And we
(42:17):
fail to realize how selfish people are. People go out
and they vote in their own self interest. And so
you had all these races that showed up and decided
that they were going to vote for the other races
because they thought, hey, we are all the same. But
the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay,
and so when he decided that he was going to
look out for somebody, it was only going to be
other rich white guys, not the rest of y'all. So
(42:39):
as you're losing your job, as you're losing your medicaid,
as you're losing your farm, you're feeling a way because
you're like, wait a minute, you were supposed to go
after the others, not come after us, And now they're saying, oh, well,
we'll give you a five thousand dollars check. I don't
see it happening right now. That is not a part
of the budget that they have proposed, that is for sure.
So they just had a markup. So this is the
(43:00):
that they're ever talking about. This the budget that they
proposed where they went through a thirteen hour markup just
the other day, proposed getting rid of Medicare. So I mean,
theoretically they should have the money if you decide that
people won't have healthcare in this country, which costs a
little bit more than five thousand dollars a person. But
the reality is that they're not gonna do that.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Why do people still talk like Donald Trump's campaigning as
opposed to like he's actually here right now in the
flesh doing what it is that he's doing. Like they
still talk like they stopped, like they talk like they
can stop this. Like I saw governor governor of Illinois, JV.
What's his name, David. Yeah, he was talking, but I'm like, yo,
that should have been said four years ago. The things
that he was saying, like like, why are they talking
(43:40):
like he's still campaigning.
Speaker 6 (43:42):
I'm gonna say this. I think that there's two things.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
I think that again, Democrats are so cerebral that we
were like, of course, nobody's gonna vote for him again.
They'll remember the dead bodies that were piling up in
freezer trucks in New York. They'll remember that he was
selling people there in Jake Bleach. They'll remember that, you know,
they were losing their jobs. They did not know if
their family members were going to live or die.
Speaker 6 (44:03):
They will remember.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
We thought he like people would remember, and then we
started to realize way too late that a lot of
people forgot all they remembered. It was almost like our
brains would not remember the bad. All they remembered was
like things like a twelve hundred dollars check, but they
didn't remember how they got it right, Like they didn't
remember Pelosi, they didn't remember the Democrats were controlling the
House at the time, Like they didn't remember that part
(44:27):
of the story.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
The Democrats mess and marketing.
Speaker 6 (44:30):
Well, you know, we're still working.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
But I will say the other part of this though
about Pritzker is that I think what we're trying to
do is at least make sure that people wake up
because there are things that we can do.
Speaker 6 (44:43):
I don't accept defeat.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
I mean, if I accepted defeat, here's the reality, I
wouldn't be sitting here before you. My ancestors never accepted defeat,
so I won't either.
Speaker 6 (44:52):
Did he win?
Speaker 4 (44:53):
Absolutely? Are we defeated? Absolutely not? And so right now
constitution absolutely look at.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
You with your alliterature. Okay, there, we got me. So
here's the deal.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
We know that the House is only a three member
different three members going to the Democratic side means that
we control the House and we start slowing things down.
We have three seats that are about to be up.
We have two seats that are up right now. We
have another run that will be up in New York.
And so I'm telling people put all your energy into
these three seats because I can't wait two years. Like
I'm tired of him already, So we need an opportunity
(45:28):
to start stopping him. So I do want governors like
Pritzker to give people this belief and this hope. And
I want people to go out and say, you know what,
I don't have very much money, but I think that
it's worthwhile for me to give my ten dollars to
these people that are running in Florida, to give money
to whoever is going to ultimately run here in New York.
I think it's worth my time to show up and
(45:50):
actually knock on some doors and talk to people and
listen to people and ask them why did you vote
for Trump? And Trump would still be your president.
Speaker 6 (45:57):
But don't you want this to slow a little bit?
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Don't you want somebody to say, hey, wait a minute.
We think that it's important that social security still exists,
and the only thing that will stand between you and
your social security is potentially having a democratic House. And
it doesn't mean you're a Democrat, but it does mean
that you believe in a democratic republic. And so I
want us to work these three seats right now because
(46:22):
one of the elections Florida will take place on April first.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
So those are the guardrails that are in place to protect,
you know, people like the federal workers from what Elon
Musk and Donald trumpe are.
Speaker 4 (46:31):
Roll as it relates that to that part. The guardrails
are the courts. That's the only thing that we have
standing right now, and I'm concerned that ultimately the High
Court belongs to him. So I know he's trying to
get those cases up to the Supreme Court again, get
them to dismantle the constitution a bit, dismantle laws a
(46:51):
little bit. But the fact that they push back on
TikTok of all things, like just forget the subject matter.
But ultimately, in a nine to zero decision when it
came down to TikTok, they said.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
Oh, never mind, Like, no, you can't do that. That
was signed in law.
Speaker 4 (47:04):
Whether you like it or not, it was signed in
the law, and you can't just unilaterally overturn that. So
I think that we may have a little hope from
them when it comes down to things like once Congress
appropriates something, you can't do anything about it. Now, here's
the thing, it'll never make the Supreme Court in time
because this last funding bill runs out on March fourteenth.
(47:26):
We won't get to the Supreme Court by March fourteenth
to get a decision. But we potentially will have a
new budget and that budget should be done because he
does have a Trump trifecta. It should be done in
the image of what it is that they want to deliver,
and so we'll see if they can get it done.
Speaker 13 (47:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
I think we're shutting down on March fourteen.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
On March fourteen, you think the government's gonna shut down?
Speaker 4 (47:48):
Yeah, I mean the last time we shut down was
under Trump. When we shut down I think at least
two times, and the longest shutdown we've ever had in
the history of this country came under Trump. And right
now they have a slimmer majority than they had when
I was in the one hundred and eighteenth session. So right
now they only have they can only lose one vote.
One Republican vote can vote against it, So if all
(48:11):
Democrats show up and vote against it, which we should,
they can only lose one.
Speaker 6 (48:15):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (48:17):
I don't see how they get it past, but we'll
see they can get it past the Senate.
Speaker 6 (48:22):
I don't see how they get a past House.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
We have more with congress Woman Jasmine Crockett when we
come back as the Breakfast Club goal morning morning, everybody
is j Envy, Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Jasmine Crocket. Well, child,
what is on your what is on your breakdown? What's
on your shirt? Child?
Speaker 6 (48:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (48:43):
Yes, yes, So we dropped the child collection collection after
Nancy mays act it like she wanted to take me outside.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
So minutes with you.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
She's going to be your mind when she asks you,
I'd like to take this outside.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Military school.
Speaker 6 (49:00):
I don't want.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
From the citadel which is all military scho.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
Yeah, right, So DEI helped her just fyi, because it
didn't exist, and there were people that did not want
a woman in the institution. But her father actually taught
at the institution, and so she wanted to be just
like her dad, and so they sued, they went to
the courts so that she could get in as a woman.
(49:29):
And now she is the very same woman that wants
to do like a bunch of the same immigrants to
somehow get over here, get their citizenship, and then they like,
forget everybody else coming behind me.
Speaker 6 (49:39):
She is the same. And so she claims that she's
been a champion for.
Speaker 4 (49:43):
Women and that's why she's against trans people, but she
forgets that she benefited from diversity, equity and inclusion like
most white women, because white women are the vast majority
of the beneficiaries of DEI policies. But that's all she
But when she said let's take it outside, you know,
I really want to be like, let's go now, I
(50:05):
knew that I couldn't because again, they would have been
trying to expel me. And if the tables were turned
if I had said that to her, oh, the Karen
would have been calling everybody to come through and come
grab me, and they would have had me on the
floor for an explosion for trying to incite violence against
another member of Congress literally in a committee hearing. But
(50:28):
instead they said, well, maybe she meant go outside for coffee.
Speaker 6 (50:33):
I do be thinking that though I guess what they said.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
I'd be thinking that these people are so old and
so culturally clue is that they don't understand.
Speaker 6 (50:40):
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
When you did it either, when you did your bad
Bill Bush Bodies that the guy was like, what.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
It's the same guy, Nancy, I am not a child. Now,
I do think that she is culturally unaware, even though
she's always bragging about how many black people she represents
in her district in South Carolina.
Speaker 6 (51:01):
Black people in South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (51:02):
Wake up here up we went to high school together.
Speaker 4 (51:07):
Well, no, well she's anyway, I'm not gonna cuss you
said the economy she does because South Carolina about to
catch it, just like all these other ones, all of them,
they're about to catch it the hardest. Like you think
you're quote unquote owning the Libs. But guess what New
York has money? Okay, guess what California has money? Right,
(51:30):
the ones that are broke and need the money, the
New York and California bay into is you little red
states down south?
Speaker 6 (51:38):
The vast majority of y'all. Y'all are the ones that
are broken. Y'all are the ones that are constantly bleeding
population as well. Right, Like we know that these.
Speaker 4 (51:46):
Small states like people are moving to the big cities,
which to be in the bluer states where there are
more opportunities. So but Nancy, you know, she now wants
to us.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
To take it outside because they're going through all of that.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
No, she she just wants to try to elevate her
name and her status. So she's allegedly talking about running
for governor.
Speaker 6 (52:09):
Don't do it.
Speaker 4 (52:10):
Don't do it South Carolina. But if you look into her,
like she said so much staff that has resigned, she
is consistently being accused of all types of inappropriateness when
it comes to like sex stuff in general. So beyond her, well,
i'll just say that in committee right in that same hearing,
she was talking about quote unquote.
Speaker 6 (52:31):
Chicks with peace. Yeah, so she was doing like all
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (52:35):
So she constantly like throws the word around and committee
and that kind of thing. But she's also been accused
of talking to staff about her sex life and making
them uncomfortable, and so she's had staff resign alleging that
she is very inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (52:52):
She didn't just say she was a victim of rape
and sexual all.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
He also did that with a lot of protections.
Speaker 4 (52:58):
So people don't know that if you go on the
house floor, you can pretty much say anything and people
can't suit you.
Speaker 6 (53:03):
It's the debate clause. What do you mean, speech and debate?
Speaker 4 (53:06):
Speech and debate clause means that when you are in
the chamber and you're on the floor and you say
certain things, I can say something defammatory and I can't
be sued.
Speaker 3 (53:18):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (53:19):
So the theory is this is that she decided, now
that she's getting ready for this supernatorial she decided to
kind of head off some potential bad headlines by going
onto the house floor and accusing not one, not two,
but three men of sexually abusing.
Speaker 6 (53:38):
Her and recording it and drugging her.
Speaker 4 (53:42):
So the thought is that maybe there's a sex safe
that's about to come out, and so if she went
on the floor, they can't do anything about it. Now
she's not filed charges against any of them. She just
went on the floor, made these accusations, but did not
go and file a case against anybody. Now she files
a case against somebody and she's found to be lying.
Speaker 6 (54:03):
That is a crime.
Speaker 4 (54:04):
But she could go on the floor and accuse them
of whatever and they can't sue her. So interesting place
to go and report.
Speaker 3 (54:12):
Most jae.
Speaker 6 (54:19):
Somebody else?
Speaker 4 (54:22):
Is it true to somebody else that works for another
sitting member. They called in and that they bet they
was betting on a fight. Oh yeah, they wanted to
see it. I don't know who it was, but we
have Capitol police. We have Capitol police following up on
that because they called during working hours on a house phone,
and they were so smart that they didn't realize that
(54:44):
all calls made on house phones are recorded, so it
is recorded.
Speaker 6 (54:48):
We know which member's office it came from.
Speaker 4 (54:51):
It was a Republican out of Texas whose office it
came from.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
They were trying to.
Speaker 4 (54:58):
They yeah, so they called my office and was like, yeah,
this is what we want to see. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Were trying to place a bit some random staffer.
Speaker 6 (55:07):
They're called my office. It's the audacity.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
But I can see why they would want to see it.
But this is what I'm saying, right, do you think
that Congress could get more done if y'all actually did
throw hands every now and no, just real quick, real quick,
thirty seconds, then y'all get it out and go back
now want to fight?
Speaker 6 (55:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (55:25):
I do want to ask you this. I know you
got to go. Why don't Democrats sit down? Chuck Schuman
and Hakim Jefferies they all represent the old way of
doing things that don't work anymore. People like yourself, AOC.
Y'all know how to communicate, y'all know how to message.
Why don't they let y'all be front tracing in the party.
What are they holding on to? I know their positions,
but forget the position. If they're not connecting with people,
(55:47):
why are they the ones that are out front but
not y'all.
Speaker 4 (55:49):
I mean, there's just a lot that we could be doing,
and I'm hoping that we get a lot more aggressive
and decide every single day like this is just what
it is. Like I told my staff, I'm like, y'all
had it good last term.
Speaker 6 (56:00):
I know y'all thought y'all didn't, but.
Speaker 4 (56:02):
I'm like, we actually now have to work ten times
harder than we did before because we've got to make
sure people understand how bad these policies are and what's happening.
If we don't communicate it in real time, then we're doomed.
That was the problem even when we were trying to
get the White House back, is that we did not
communicate in real time the good things we were doing.
(56:23):
Now they're like, oh, wait a minute, those wait minutes.
So the overdraft fees, that was Joe Biden that reduced
it so it wasn't more than five dollars per overdraft,
and now the Republicans have filed a bill saying, you
know what, we want those overdraft fees to go back
up because again they're looking out for the rich people,
not the people who was struggling. Who has overdraft fees?
(56:45):
Is it the rich people or is the people live
in check to check? So the people they kept saying, oh, no,
he's for the middle class.
Speaker 6 (56:51):
No he's not. And they tried to convince you that
the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (56:54):
Had done nothing, but they had, They had consistently done
things for the middle class.
Speaker 6 (56:58):
It's just that.
Speaker 4 (56:59):
And so when even when Democrats are like, oh, we're
not the party of the middle class anymore, Yes we are.
Our policies are clear because over draft fees, that's not
for rich people, but now it is about to be
for rich people. You know why, because again we're seeing
a government that wants to prey on those that are
struggling so that others at the top can benefit to
some ridiculous amount of money.
Speaker 6 (57:21):
And that's what we're about to go through.
Speaker 4 (57:22):
So I'm just like, listen, if you were broke and
thought he was your guy, will God bless you?
Speaker 5 (57:27):
All?
Speaker 17 (57:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (57:27):
Jeffer can never talk like that. I just want you
to know that we can never speak to people. Know that.
Speaker 2 (57:33):
Thank you, congress Woman Jasmine Crockett. We appreciate I appreciate,
thank you so much. It's the breakfast club. Good morning,
just with the message up next, let's get to es
with the bests.
Speaker 3 (57:45):
Just cabing more.
Speaker 2 (57:46):
Just don't do no lines, don't doody.
Speaker 3 (57:53):
World why worldwide mess.
Speaker 2 (57:57):
On the breakfast clubs, the coaches Farmlaurren and I got.
Speaker 3 (58:02):
The to me.
Speaker 6 (58:06):
Alrighty y'all.
Speaker 4 (58:07):
So for anybody that was wondering how the big Meach
Welcome Home concert cancelation situation really went down from inside.
Speaker 6 (58:16):
We have the answers. Boosie to the rescue. Let's take
a listen.
Speaker 21 (58:20):
Oh, we was asking the people, even the people at
the arena, and he was like, some federal people came
in here with let us like shut this down like
it was some what Yeah, that was the one of
the workers say, like they came in here right before that.
They say they came in sound chick and shut it down.
So this was this some last minute power whatever it
happened to it. With this, the arena was open, everything
(58:42):
was open, bro like it was going down.
Speaker 3 (58:46):
Was that on TV? Yes?
Speaker 6 (58:47):
That TV?
Speaker 3 (58:49):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (58:49):
Now I think that that makes it even worse than
it honestly makes me want to figure out who's these
federal people on what is the situation.
Speaker 2 (58:57):
I don't know, but I know that the son of
Sam lor and I'm not saying this, this is part
of it, but the son of samads. You can't profit
off of a crime that you did.
Speaker 3 (59:04):
What crimes? What crime? Huh? You can't drop it.
Speaker 2 (59:07):
Off of I guess your name or the crimes or
anything telling the story of that you did.
Speaker 6 (59:10):
But they're telling them, welcome home.
Speaker 3 (59:11):
It's a concert.
Speaker 2 (59:13):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (59:14):
I was thinking maybe they thought that there was the
capacity was going to be too crazy and you know,
like crime marshals can come in or whatever.
Speaker 6 (59:20):
But that's not federal.
Speaker 3 (59:21):
I was told they saw nine hundred tickets of fourteen thousand.
Oh yeah, the building whole fourteen dollars. That's what I
was told. I was told it was a ticket thing.
Speaker 4 (59:29):
Well, Boosie also talked about just the way that little
Meach has been carrying a whole situation. And I will
say little Meach was out and about and there's a
video of him chopping it up with Rick Ross at
a Floyd Mayweather's party in Miami recently. Let's take a
listen to what Boosey had to say about how littlech
is carrying this whole situation.
Speaker 21 (59:45):
Let Meach ain't like his response. It seemed like he
got a genuine kind of love for fitting on his response.
But you know, my respunan, let's go to Walter.
Speaker 5 (59:57):
You.
Speaker 21 (59:57):
I don't know what Meat was on some I'm a pope.
I don't give him, my son. You ain't gonna go
against this grain.
Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
He basically feels like he's leaning into Fifty too much.
But I mean, now that this videos out of him
in your grass, I don't think that that's the case whatsoever.
So now we know, I am going to try and
figure out more information about that though, Like what was
that situation?
Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Like who are these.
Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Federal people that boot the show at the concert? Yeah,
with the concert for the Big Meach Welcome Home concert.
Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
So Boosie was saying that Meach, little meat should just
roll with Big Meach.
Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's his dad.
Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
That's a little more complicated than that, though. I get it, Yeah,
I get it. I mean I understand, but you know,
he does have a relationship with Fifty as well, that's
his father. But it's still business. You're grown, you're two adults,
like little Meach is an adult. Big Meach is an adult.
Fifty Center is an adult. Low Meach has his own
relationship with fifty. He's getting caught up in the crossheads
or whatever. You know, big meats, fifty and rosscot going on.
(01:00:55):
I thought lot Meach's response to the fifty was valid.
Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Your dad name is cowboy, right, yeah, cowboy get into something.
You're gonna neutrally try and figure it out.
Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
It's different, just gonna go from zero to one hundreds.
Speaker 14 (01:01:06):
Let's go to war.
Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Fifty, it's different, and.
Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
Let's go to war. But like I'm not explaining, I'm
not texting none of that.
Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
That's my dad.
Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
I think little Meets looked at fifty as a father figure.
Remember little Meat was down for a second so many times,
so many years, and fifty helped him out rehab allegedly
and got him a deal. So I think you might
have looked at him as a father figure.
Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
I get it, I hear you. But that's his dad.
Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Sure, but there should still be a conversation. There still
shouldn't just be a yo. From what I remember in
the text of the text was like, what's going on,
what's happening here? Right?
Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
But fifty had already went zero to one hundred at
that point. So now you got to pick a side,
and that's my dad.
Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Do you think he should just match energy and just
do what Boozy said?
Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
He no, No, he should calmly just sit next to
his dad and just chill. Stop texting, stop all of that.
Take what comes with your dad made a decision.
Speaker 6 (01:01:55):
Here we are.
Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
Do you have a conversation with your father and say, damn, pop,
did you even think about this? You know that fifty
got an issue and fifty did a lot for us.
Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
You do have that conversation, you know, but you gotta
roll with your pops. Like when it comes to like
you now you're stepping over the line, you send a text.
Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Like, Hey, I don't think it's that easy on my side,
not in that situation. I know it seems like that
to some people, but I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
It's that easy, not in that situation.
Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
And I know it wasn't that easy for a little beach.
Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
It can't. It's not that easy. But it's your dad though.
Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Like I don't, I don't know, not in that situation,
not when your dad been down for what's twenty years.
Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
We'll see, girl, what's happening there. You gave me that face.
Go ahead, Andy on what's going on?
Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
What's you about to start?
Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
You start that dad stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
I'm not I'm not happening you good.
Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
No, I'm gonna effect. I'm gonna text you, all right, don't.
I'm gonna text you and then you tell.
Speaker 6 (01:02:49):
Me anyway and not the news.
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
Pretty was on the show speaking of people with you know,

You want Charlamage to damn chlomame, who do your heaven?
Speaker 6 (01:08:45):
Dusky of the day?
Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
So now well, sexy Red Donkey to Day for Friday,
February twenty first goes to Ashley Cross. Ashley is a
thirty seven year old African American woman from Memphis, Tennessee. Okay, smooth,
everyone who listens to us on K ninety seven in Memphis. Now,
I'm sure that you all are aware by now there's
a lot of companies have rolled back their diversity equity
and including initiatives. One of those companies is Walmart. Now,
(01:09:08):
if you read my first book, Black Privilege, and you
know the joy Walmart brought me as a child, Because
when you grow up in the country like I did,
salute the Monst Corner, South Carolina, drop on the clues,
BOMs Amost Cornersauth Carolina. When you grow up in the country,
a rural area, the twenty four hour Walmart is everything. Okay,
That's what we would go late at night because there
was nothing else to do. Yes, the good old days.
Walk in the holy grounds of Walmart. This was way
(01:09:29):
back in the day when the only thing they were
rolling back is prices. But a lot of people have
called for a boycott at these companies in particular target,
but Ashley Cross has decided that she is staging a
one woman boycott of Walmart. Yes, in fact, Ashley is
not going to be shopping at Walmart in period. No
Walmart in the country, none of them ever again. Okay,
(01:09:53):
do you have that kind of commitment to your boycott?
Can you vow to never shopping an establishment ever again?
Are a scott paper tower being ten sixty eight for
twelve rolls too great a deal to pass up? Well?
If it is, then you can always do what Ashley
did because it's guaranteed Ashley will never step foot in
any Walmart ever again. And I lie, it's not because
she's boycotting Walmart. It's actually because Walmart is boycotting her.
(01:10:15):
What do you mean, Uncle, Sharla, Walmart is boycotting her. Well,
let's go to new Channel three for the report.
Speaker 17 (01:10:19):
Please.
Speaker 14 (01:10:20):
Ashley Cross, charged with criminal trespass and theft of merchandise is,
according to the police report, a well known shoplifter at
this Walmart on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Whitehaven, so well
known to Walmart that Cross is on an Authorization of
Agency list, meaning she's banned from any Walmart location in
(01:10:41):
the United States. The Elvis Presley Boulevard stores where Cross
and another suspect were arrested February tenth, Cross was seen
using and devised to scan her items for one dollar
at a self checkout machine.
Speaker 23 (01:10:54):
Ashley Cross remains in jail on a seventy five hundred
dollars bond. She is due back in court February nineteenth.
The suspect with Cross received a misdemeanor citation for theft
of property.
Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Oh, she already went the court. I wonder what happened.
Speaker 17 (01:11:08):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
I used to shoplift up until twenty sixteen. Okay, that's
when I stopped shoplifting. But I didn't, you know, feel
like I was stealing because.
Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Nine years ago you had a little money.
Speaker 6 (01:11:19):
Nine years ago, are you still stealing?
Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
I don't know. But I didn't feel like it was
stealing because I didn't try to hide anything. I would
walk in and, you know, take what I want and
just walk out. You only get caught when you look suspicious,
you know. Plus I never really stole anything but magazines,
you know, when I was young, like Black and Miles,
twelve packs of butt light, random stuff like that. But
Ashley is clearly a kleptomaniac, and she's good because she
was using a bar code from an old watch battery
(01:11:43):
to scan all her items for just one dollar to
self checkout. I stand a creative thief. Okay, y'all still
stealing like flintstones actually out here like a jection with it.
Or maybe this is the normal way to shoplift. Now,
I don't steal anymore, so I wouldn't know. But Ashley
stole eleven packs of roumenodles, women's boots, a pair of jeans,
and a T shirt, all totally one hundred and thirty
(01:12:05):
seven dollars and thirty four cents. Now, this woman was
clearly stealing essentials. Okay, these are reasonable things to steal. Ramen, noodles, boots, clothes.
I understand. In America, I'm gonna tell you something you
don't want to hear. There's gonna be a lot more
of this. Why because during America's inflation crisis, Walmart was
the spot. Okay, you can get good deals all types
(01:12:26):
of essentials. But on yesterday Walmart said things are about
to get slow because consumers are growing increasingly frustrated with
inflation and they're concerned about President Trump's tariffs. Basically, folks
been broken and if people keep losing their jobs, they
will be broken. And if you are the reason, okay,
people are losing their jobs, like Elon Musk and Donald
Trump are in regards the federal workers, and you're putting
(01:12:47):
tariffs on items. Not only do I not have a job,
things are going to be even more expensive. So what
am I going to resort to doing? I tell you
what people will resort to doing. Trying to survive, and
trying to survive can look like a number of things,
and sometimes one of those things is shoplifted. I'm not
making excuses for Ashley. I'm just telling America what the
(01:13:07):
inevitable is when you don't take care of the least
of us. Nevertheless, Ashley crosses on Walmart's authorization of agency lists,
which prohibits her from entering any Walmart store across the country.
I didn't know such a list existed, but Ashley is
on it, and she is currently well, I don't even
know if currently, but she was being held on the
seventy five hundred dollars bond, probably still in it. She's
(01:13:30):
probably still in it because if he had one hundred
and thirty four dollars to get these items from Walmart,
you damn sure ain't got the seventy five hundred dollars bond.
All to ten percent of seven hundred and fifty dollars
to get out. But some donkey of the days just
sell themselves. Please give Ashley Cross the sweets outs of
the Hamiltons. Oh no, you are the dog gee of.
Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
The day, the dog gee.
Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Ah, it's just you feel bad for now. You don't
feel bad for her. She's a repeat offender.
Speaker 4 (01:14:10):
She could have got a job, or maybe the first
offense put something on her record and she couldn't get
the job.
Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
That is true too, But she stole from there a lot.
Why wouldn't you switch it up?
Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
This is gonna sound bad, but no, you ever, you
ever be in so check out and be feeling like this.
Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
I shouldn't have to pay for this stuff. Like some
of this stuff is old to me, Like maybe she
felt like that.
Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
No, I don't know what I feel like that.
Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
And that's what happens when you still wiggle, When you
still wiggle, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
You get what? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
You so lucky you were still in when your face
was two different colors, because they wouldn't have recognized you
from me this side.
Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
That is true. That is very true. If I'm on
camera in twenty sixteen, that's not me. Okay, that's not me.
It's not the same person.
Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
All right, Well that is donkey of the day. Now
when we come back, the CEO of Red Lobster will
be joining us, is then, mister Mola Adam Lokin.
Speaker 3 (01:15:13):

Red Lobster. This brother was up here suited up. He
used to be the CEO PF Chang. He one went

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Like, don't worry about us, y'all did not shoot your shot?

We're talking when we come back the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club. Warning, everybody is Dan j n V.
Just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the buildings.
Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
Are you waiting to get your ass kicked? Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
Let's go Red Lobster.
Speaker 24 (01:16:42):
Okay, what else, Let's go, let's go. Okay, here come
the punch, Adam. I lookin Hey, what did he get it?
I was an eight out of ten. Man, you almost
got it. Almost got it.
Speaker 17 (01:16:56):
You're very close. Man.
Speaker 3 (01:16:57):
That's a that's a good that's a good effort. You know,
it's crazy, Demola. We interview a lot of people, and
people always ask, you know, who do you want to interview?
And I never know the answer. But then I see
certain people in the schedule and I'm like, damn, I
would like to talk to this guy, And when I
saw your name on the schedule, I was like, CEO
right last, yeah, yes, I'd like to talk to him.
Speaker 5 (01:17:16):
Yeah, you guys, you guys are doing amazing things.
Speaker 17 (01:17:18):
That's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
So let's start from the beginning. How did you get
into fool because you just weren't the CEO of a
livester you with CEO of P of Chang. So how
did you get your start into this restaurant business.
Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
And you're only thirty six?
Speaker 13 (01:17:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
Yeah, yeah, really, I started by waiting tables when I
was young, when I was in high school, and you're
from I'm from Uh, I'm not jering. Originally, I went
to high school in Maryland, Okay, so it's nice, yeah,
you know, doing the uh the waiter slash runner thing
in high school. But in this current track, you know,
I started working in finance when I was in college.
(01:17:51):
So I started interning at Goldman Sacks when I was nineteen,
so seventeen years ago. Wow, So I got my first
internship at Goldman. I was at Brown playing football and
worked at Goldman for four years, and then worked at
a private equity firm called TPG, and then went to
business school and then worked at a hedge fund here
in New York. The reason I got into restaurants because
(01:18:11):
I did a restaurant deal. We bought PF Changs in
twenty nineteen. I worked for John Paulson, who's a famous
billionaire investor in New York. This firm is called Paulson
and Company. So I was working at a hedge fund
and we do a lot of things. The hedge fund's big,
it's you know, billions of dollars, and we do a
lot of different things. But one of the things that
we did that I suggested was to buy PF Chanks.
(01:18:32):
It was up for sale, so I pitched it to
the firm. They agreed, but I led the deal. This
is twenty nineteen now, so it was up for sale.
You know, I thought it was an interesting thing, good brand,
great great history, great product. I thought we could do
a lot of new things with it. We could a delivery,
we could remodel the restaurants, we could make it more interesting,
make it more relevant, cool. And it was all going
(01:18:53):
pretty well. And then COVID hit right in twenty twenty.
So my big restaurant deal. You know, we put hundreds
of millions of dollars into it and it went south
COVID like like everything else did.
Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
So how did you get to Red Lobster?
Speaker 17 (01:19:03):
Red Lobster?
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
So, you know, the PF chain's dealent well, and you know,
it won me some some plaudits in the industry because
it was difficult, right, and we.
Speaker 17 (01:19:12):
Made it happen.
Speaker 5 (01:19:13):
And then after that, I connected with the folks who
had lent money to Red Lobster before the company went bankrupt,
so they were in line to own it coming out
of bankruptcy. It's a good group called Fortress, and so
they asked me first to consult to provide advice, like,
you know, you were just spent four years running a
business that was in distress similar to this, you know,
what do you think of this situation? So I was
(01:19:35):
advising them at first, and then it turned into uh uh.
They asked me to come run it. Basically presented a plan.
They were like, well, like your plan, police come executed
for us, right. So I took over CEO coming out
of bankruptcy in September.
Speaker 17 (01:19:48):
That's what we've been doing.
Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
You know, when I first heard that story, I was
on the radio acting like I knew what I was
talking about, and I was just like, I know exactly
what Red Lobster should be doing. Yeah, and I felt
like Red Lobster should, you know, scale down from being
a fine dining establishment and be more like Chipotle, Like
you could go in there and you know you can
get your lobster insurance pasta right from the bar or whatever.
The items is just right there from the bar. Just
(01:20:09):
make it like a small or more Chipotle like establishment.
Of the polls by buying dining restaurant.
Speaker 5 (01:20:13):
Well, your point about being able to get food conveniently
is an important one. There should be options and there
should be ways.
Speaker 17 (01:20:19):
Where you get things you need quickly.
Speaker 5 (01:20:20):
For example, our delivery business that should feel fast casualist
where you put it in order, it comes quickly, et cetera.
The way the company is set up has a cost structure.
Speaker 17 (01:20:29):
That you can run it. You can run it like Chipotle.
Speaker 5 (01:20:32):
For example, our restaurants they're nine to ten thousand square feet.
Hipolis are fifteen hundred square feet maybe two thousand max.
So you have a real estate footprint that you couldn't
run on Chipotle revenue per unit.
Speaker 17 (01:20:43):
Right, you have to do more. The food we serve,
we serve lobster and crab.
Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
You can't sell that at Chipotle price points because you
pay too much for those products. So there's there's structural
differences in the businesses that would prevent that. But that said,
some of the things Pole is good at you can
be better at, right, like delivery, digital, you know, speed
of service. Those are things that people care about them.
Definitely you can learn from it.
Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Hold on, Remember I started off by saying acting like
I knew what I knew, said, acting like I know.
Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
So how do you say red lobster now?
Speaker 5 (01:21:14):
Right? Well, so the thing is you have to lean
into what made it successful in the first place, right, Like,
what do people love about red Lobster?
Speaker 17 (01:21:20):
There's reason it is what it is. Biscuits biscuits for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
And I also think a lot of us from where
we grew up that was you know, we went for graduation,
we went for celebratory. It felt like five stars, like
five stars until you got to make that's it. But
until all these other restaurants started popping up. Now, you know,
people look down on red Lobster when it comes to celebratory.
They'll go to you know, a p of changs, they'll
(01:21:46):
go to a towel, they'll go to an expensive steakhouse
because they don't look at Red Lobster as that I think,
but you know it's good, but you know, so how
do you change that way of thinking? So it used
to be it used to.
Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
Red Lobster is the first company to take these high
end seafood products across the country. It was the first
place you could get lobster, get crab for a lot
of people's their first experience. I went with to Red
Lobster in Springfield, Illinois when I used to live there,
when I was in you know, nine or ten, and
I remember that, So I think people a lot of
people have these memories after church on Sundays, you know,
important dinners, graduation, et cetera. The it's now you can
(01:22:29):
get these products in different places, but we're still the
only company at scale that serves lobster and crab. And
by the way, lobster and crab are wild caught products.
You can't form raise them, so they catch them on boats.
We buy twenty five percent of the lobster that's that's
caught on boats in North America.
Speaker 17 (01:22:42):
We buy a quarter of it.
Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
We buy a quarter of the crab that's caught by
virtue of our size and scale we can get the
best product, which we do. So the lobster you get it,
red lobster is as good as lobster you'll get anywhere.
But people don't know that, No, not at all, And
so there's a communication aspect to it that need to
let people know this is the best, this is the
best product you can get four lobster for crab.
Speaker 17 (01:23:00):
That's number one.
Speaker 5 (01:23:00):
Number two, you need to give people a reason. You know,
you mentioned Chipotle. If we're not going to be prices
to Chipole, then we need to offer something and that
totally doesn't offer and what that is is called service
and hospitality. Like you need to come in, you need
to feel like you're welcome, you need to feel like
you're a guest, you need to be taken care of.
You need to get it in connection with your server.
So it's food and its service is where we.
Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Win and ambiyonce. A lot of these restaurants.
Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
Don't look left to feels like McDonald's at times when
you walk out, the floors look very cold.
Speaker 5 (01:23:33):
The right word outdated. I did a I did a
remodel project. I totally agree. I did a remodel project
at PF Chanin's where we remodel eighty percent of the
restaurants right and if you go to them now, it's red, gold,
black like. So that's what we you know, we did that,
and so this needs something similar and we're working on that.
Speaker 17 (01:23:48):
That takes a bit of time.
Speaker 5 (01:23:50):
You have to design it, you have to scope it,
you have to test it, you have to prove the results.
Speaker 17 (01:23:54):
Then you have to raise the money. Then you have
to go. So that takes time. What you can do
now is improve service.
Speaker 5 (01:23:59):
We launch something we're called Red Carpet Hospitality and we
launched that a couple of weeks ago. If you go
and ask the server and Red Lobster about it, they'll
tell you about it. Red stands for recognize, engage in delight.
When people walk in, you need to recognize them. As
soon as they walk in. There should be somebody smiling
at the post stand to greet them. You see somebody,
you're within ten feet of them, You recognize them within
four feet you speak to them.
Speaker 17 (01:24:18):
We call the ten four rule.
Speaker 5 (01:24:19):
You make sure that you know when people need to
go to the bathroom, you walk them there.
Speaker 17 (01:24:23):
You don't point to the bathroom. You escort them.
Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
You make sure that you're connecting with them, you're talking
with them, you asking questions. So we're training these behavioral patterns.
That's something you can do today, right, and then trying
to highlight the quality of the food and introduce them
new things like the lobster rolls that are fun, that
are interesting, so food and service. And then the third
point for sure is ambyonce we fix the things we
can fix quickly, like the music is better. If you
go to the Red Lobster now, you'll notice the music
(01:24:46):
is better. And you'll notice there's small things like we
put the market prices on the lobster, we put the
liners on the tables. There's small things you can do now,
but comprehensively, there needs to be a remodel, right, and
that's something that we'll do in the future.
Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
All Right, we have more with the of Red Lobster.
The Mola Adam Logan. When we come back is the
breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is dej Envy Jess hilarious,
Charlamage the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still
kicking in with the CEO of Red Lobster, the Mola
Adam Locan.
Speaker 4 (01:25:14):
Yes, there was a list that women have put together, right,
of places that they don't want to be taken on
the first date. Red Labster was number eleven. Eleven, Yes,
it was number eleven. So what did do you? Would
you say that real lobster is a valley place for
a first date?
Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
I mean lobster a first date?
Speaker 17 (01:25:29):
Can you beat that?
Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
Yeah? First date?
Speaker 5 (01:25:33):
You want to share some main lobster, lobster tales, rock
lobster main right, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:25:39):
But also on that list it was PF Chain's and
cheesecake everything.
Speaker 5 (01:25:45):
I think, yes, it's these are chain restaurants, and there's
something about like chain versus independent. Now, if you make
the chain experience feel like an independent, like each restaurant's
its own and they have like a culture and personality,
then it's it doesn't feel like a chain. Yeah, and
there's restaurants that do that really well.
Speaker 17 (01:26:03):
And we're, you know, we're working to become that.
Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
But look, if you go in the date and have
some Cherry Bay biscuits, some lobster tail, some bar dye
crab like, people are gonna have a great time.
Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Did you'll stop the endless shrimp promotion? Yeah, it's done,
So no more endless shrimp. You got a messed up now, by.
Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
The way, that was the dumb wasn't a dumb promotion.
But don't promise people in dless shrimp because y'all never
give in.
Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
It was a challenge. I know people who've tried. They
do put a cap on it.
Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
He's tried. I've been in the restaurants, but they put
a cap on the end the shrimp.
Speaker 5 (01:26:31):
I mean, look, the way it was done didn't work.
I'm not saying it'll never be done, but it'll be
done in a way that's that's more sensible.
Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
Well sensible, because you guys, I'm gonna telling what people
to do. Going there with four people, one person order
endless shrimp and they just keep bringing mass shrimp for
the table.
Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
That's that's insensible. I mean, look, I mean these promotions
people do promotions like this. Olive Garden does a this
endless positive promotion like people do.
Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
These lives is a lie. They will put a cap
on your fast as different.
Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Because it fills you up so fast and it's cheap.
Speaker 17 (01:27:04):
Yeah yeah, and it's cheap, so they can do that.
Speaker 5 (01:27:06):
You just need to the mathe need to needs to
make sense.
Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
I'm looking at the lobster fress me and you right now.
I ain't gonna lie. I might go around Laftter this weekend.
I'm not I might send me. I'm like, I never
took my kids the Red Loss never never, And I'm like,
you know, like me in the White List, take the
kids the Red Lobster, just to see what they know
what for you. No, I'm not gonna tell you I'm going,
but I'm gonna tell you I know exactly which one
I'm going to to go to. But that one look
(01:27:31):
a little beat up, though it looks a lot big up.
But I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
That's why I was just asking that question.
Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
They don't look I passed it every morning and in
my mind, you know, you just thinking nostalgia. I'm like, damn, yo,
back in the day when I was young, that have
been perfect. The hotel right there, the red lobster, right
thing right, the red still perfect.
Speaker 17 (01:27:48):
Man, it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
That's a motel.
Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
But think about when you were seventeen eighty, that'd have
been perfect, right Well.
Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
Think about when Beyonce said it in the song yes
Me good, I take Red Lobster.
Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
What did that do for the.
Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Same I was here, that was before me. It's not
too late though, right right, because it's not too late
for that. Even when Riley mentioned it on the Boon Doctors.
You know, the Kelsey Brothers did something with us.
Speaker 5 (01:28:16):
So yeah, I mean part of part of the game
is to is to take advantage of cultural moments, right,
like when something happens in the culture, like you.
Speaker 17 (01:28:22):
Want to be on it.
Speaker 5 (01:28:22):
So that that's something that we weren't very good at
in the past and we need to get better after sure.
Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
Did you even talk to him about that? Like, did
anybody reach out to beyond? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
I can't speak to that and I wasn't here. But
for example, Flavor Flavor, we did wanted to save the
you know, wanted to save Red Lobster. Did you know
we did a promotion with them? So there's it's it's
important for sure, and uh yeah, I mean look now
Kelsey brothers reach out, we respond the same day, right like,
so we're we're engaging and it's important.
Speaker 3 (01:28:49):
How the weaponization of de I impacted you if at
all the people say, oh, he's a de I higher, No,
I've just been.
Speaker 17 (01:28:56):
So successful throughout my life.
Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
I don't get that.
Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
I aim to excel at everything I do and there's
very little evidence of me not excelling at anything that
I've tried to do, from football to Brown to Goldman
to TBG to Harvard to there's no real l's on
the not saying I won't fail it anything, and I
have failed at plenty.
Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
Let's go talk to them coaches.
Speaker 16 (01:29:16):
Well, there's a record out there that's funny nobody's talking about.
Speaker 5 (01:29:31):
That's a very funt but you know, and I'm not
saying that to Brad, But I'm just saying, you can
build a habit of excellence and that that's how that's
how you'll be viewed. Right, and so any I think
anybody can achieve, you just have to build these habits.
Speaker 17 (01:29:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:29:44):
Right, So it's really more motivation to people who are listening.
Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
What's your involvement with HBCU, What was real allowed to
deal with hbc Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
Look, I mean before that, Darden the founder of Red Lobster,
Bill Darden, who Darden Company is named after. That's all
of Garden, Texas, Longhorn, et cetera. So he's an important
restaurant tour and American history. The first restaurant that he
opened was Red Lobster, and that from the very beginning
had a really good relationship with the Black American community.
This is in sixty eight, so at the very end
of the Civil Rights movement, but from the very beginning,
(01:30:12):
black people were welcome to eat there, welcome to work there.
Speaker 17 (01:30:14):
And that was stan City from the very beginning.
Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
So it's always had a good relationship with Black America
from the start. You mentioned Beyonce mess Flavor flav It's
always had a position in culture. I'm just acknowledging it
and speaking to it and doing more for that to
try to build that. So HBCUs. We did Band of
the Year, right, We went to watch the band's perform.
Fan Move won, Miles won for the junior division, and
(01:30:38):
we gave the awards out. We sponsored it red Lobster,
and you know, millions of dollars went to scholarships and
things like that. So we're going to do more. You know,
that's a start, But it's an important community. It's one
that has been connected to the brand for a long time,
and it's a good place to spend time and spend
money on our behalf.
Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
All right, Well, we appreciate you for joining us and
bringing us some biscuits. Yeah, enjoy right, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
Whatever we get to help, man, I mean, I want
to see you succeed. If people like you succeed, then
that just means more successful the rest.
Speaker 5 (01:31:05):

Why do you look like that.
Speaker 2 (01:33:17):

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
I'm not even saying nothing. I'm just sitting here minding
my business.
Speaker 6 (01:33:21):
You never mind you.
Speaker 9 (01:33:22):
Do you know feedback after we play the record?
Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
Yeah? Yeah, but see, I know that's your favorite artist,
and I'm mad at you right now, so I'm gonna
be quiet just to pish you off. No feedback.
Speaker 9 (01:33:37):
It's actually better off that you're mad at me.
Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
Thank God, Cold Cold.
Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
We know Cold can rap. I can't even think of
too many times I've heard a record from Cold and
being like that's whack.
Speaker 5 (01:33:47):
Like that mount I love that.
Speaker 6 (01:33:49):
So y'all come and dream.
Speaker 9 (01:33:50):
First, right, I just have to make sure.
Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
No, I told you I'm gonna come this year for
the last.
Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Cold gonna be there.
Speaker 25 (01:33:59):
This is the last one, all right, because I'm sure
on time, I'm gonna keep pushing it. I got this
new Coco Jones Taste Records that I really like the
Britneys but made it like slower and sensual. And then
my very last one, this came out on Valentine's Day,
but I was sick.
Speaker 6 (01:34:13):
But I'm a big fan.
Speaker 25 (01:34:14):
No, I mean, I mean, obviously, yes, Drake dropped too,
but he gets enough tension and.
Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
It ain't that good right from a woman.
Speaker 25 (01:34:24):
I always say, I'm trying to Drake complain about women
on records.
Speaker 9 (01:34:26):
It's like an R and B project, but.
Speaker 7 (01:34:28):
It's not love songs GA like one song on that.
Speaker 25 (01:34:31):
Tiffany with the Chanel and the I don't want to
hear it like I want to hear love.
Speaker 9 (01:34:35):
I want to hear something real R and B. So
but speaking of real R and B, let's get into it.
Speaker 6 (01:34:39):
Marie, but just dropped the album.
Speaker 9 (01:34:40):
Marie was one of my favorites.
Speaker 25 (01:34:41):
She's a part of this village village and my favorite
song on her project is called Hawk.
Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
You said it's an R and B. See what is
R and B anymore? You were upset at Drake for
not sounding like R and B. But that wouldn't that's
not like R and B. I love it though.
Speaker 9 (01:34:59):
I think that the only record on there where she
had like a verse.
Speaker 6 (01:35:02):
She's not a rapper at all.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Oh yeah, she sounds like she's doing it like a doperson.
Speaker 25 (01:35:08):
No no, no, she's not a singer, but she's like
she's more classical.
Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
Well you should have introduced her singing from but.
Speaker 6 (01:35:15):
She does R and B and R and B does.
Speaker 4 (01:35:21):
I could see where you're going with that little bit
of poppy rappers. That sounds like it wasn't good.
Speaker 6 (01:35:25):
She sounded great value. Y'all are in disrespect.
Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
No, I'm not trying to disrespect. I'm just saying that's
how it sounds like. Whenever you sound like a second
rate version of anybody, you know, that's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 25 (01:35:35):
But Mari, but really doesn't sound like anybody like She's
right there.
Speaker 9 (01:35:38):
She sounded like you got to listen to the tape.
Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
She's very you're the person playing the music. That's what
you presented my Now he got.
Speaker 6 (01:35:46):
One more time on.
Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
It's right there.
Speaker 5 (01:35:52):

And just for the record, I'm not a Drake hater,
but I do realize that if you give criticism or
say you don't like something, it's like you're a hitter,
and it's like.
Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
That is true, But I am a certified we know
I am.
Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
Before we get to the People's choice mix, let's get

was about to play this morning and then decided not to.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
Next to the record Stuf Everybody's d J n V.
Just hilarious, y'all. I mean the guy we are, the
breakfast club, long, the Rosa filling in for Jess. It's
Black History Month? What we doing?
Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
You know, every day doing Black History Month? My god,
BEATU puts out an episode of I didn't Know Maybe
you didn't either on The Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network,
and today he's gonna talk about the comparison of Winston
Salem State University and FAM you highlighting their history impacting
academic excellence.
Speaker 5 (01:38:19):
Let's discuss.
Speaker 3 (01:38:22):
I didn't know, I didn't know.
Speaker 22 (01:38:26):
Okay, both of your seat belts, and let's take a
road trip through black excellence. First stop, Winston Salem, North Carolina.
Winston Salem State University founded in eighteen ninety two by
Simon g Atkins. You know how bold you got to
be the founder university in eighteen ninety two, that man
said segregation. Jim Crow ain't nobody got time for that,
(01:38:49):
so he started Slater Industrial Academy, which is now Winston
Salem State University. Back then you were learning bricklaying and cooking.
Today you might be in a nursing lab, putting our
v and mannequins, or recording your podcasts in one of
the only Adobe labs on an HBCU campus. Simon Giak
is probably looking down at WSSU like that single mom
(01:39:10):
be looking at them kids open them Christmas presents on
Christmas morning, and no, let me talk about the legend
who walk through those doors of Winston Salem State University.
You ever heard of Lewis Farrakhan a WSSU grab.
Speaker 3 (01:39:23):
You ever been watching.
Speaker 22 (01:39:24):
Wilding Out and seeing Chico Bean? Yeah, being a RAM two.
The name of our band is the Red Sea of Sound.
Our cheerleaders or you may have seen them on the
ground stomp and shake excellence. We talking about Powerhouse of
Red and White. And around two thousand and seven, Shavon
Oestrada pretty much revolutionized the version of stomping shake that
(01:39:45):
we see today, but that's a whole nother episode. One
of the most notable chants at Winston Salem State University
is chewed up backcut, chewed up backcut, chewed up backcut, spit.
If you ain't a ram, then you ain't. We try
to keep it PG for the children and the elderly
that want to sing along. That's good, old su. Now,
(01:40:08):
let's head down I ninety five to Tallahassee, Florida and
visit Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, better known as FAM You.
Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
They got a chant too. It's usually led by loose kid.
Speaker 22 (01:40:20):
He'll say I represent an all the rat Let's say
Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, October third, eighteen eighty seven.
What exactly Fam You was found at October third, eighteen
eighty seven. Now Tallahassee, Florida has seven huge heels, and
the part of Florida they gave fam was the highest heel,
(01:40:43):
but it was filled with rattlesnakes. So the state of
Florida was like, y'all can have fifteen acres and two mules.
Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
Good luck. So what did FAM You do?
Speaker 22 (01:40:52):
Turned it into one of the top HBCUs in the country.
They embraced those rattlesnakes and became the fam You rat
And if you meet any Rattler, they'll let you know
that they're from the highest of seven hills.
Speaker 3 (01:41:06):
That's right.
Speaker 22 (01:41:06):
Fam You sits at the highest points in Tallahassee, Florida.
Even Florida State got to look up at the Rattlers
and they hate that. Fam You is so iconic it
makes you want to enroll just for homecoming, no cap
I experienced it last year. And don't let the march
in one hundred touch the field? Have you ever seen
them before? The band might do as much work as
(01:41:27):
the football team on Saturdays. And Fam You has some
of the dopest alumni in the game. Keisha Lance Bottoms,
the former mayor of Atlanta. Fam You grad What about
the movie director Will Packer here rattler and he even
got a perform in Arts Amphitheater right on campus. So
whether it's Winston Salem State University with the motto enter
to Learn, depart to serve in the heart of North
(01:41:49):
Carolina or Fam You with the motto excellence, it's carrying
down there in the sunshine State.
Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
These schools are more than just campuses.
Speaker 22 (01:41:58):
They're launching pads for greatness and they're two of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (01:42:02):
Okay, bye, no.
Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
I will happy Black History mon go that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:42:09):
And salute to my guy bet Dot. Make sure you
subscribe to I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either on
the Black Effect. iHeart Radio podcast network available everywhere you
listen to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
All right, when we come back, we got the positive
note is the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning. Everybody is
DJ env Jess hilarious, Chelamaine the guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. Load on the Rosa filling in for Jess.
We gotta salute Jasmine Crockett Congresswoman Jasmin Crockett for stopping
through Man.
Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
Always a pleasure when Jasmine pulls up Man. The reason
I like Jazmine so much is because she's just able
to communicate in message, and that is a problem that
the Democrats have. They should be leaning on Jasmine Crockett
for her messaging. They should be leaning on AOC for
her messaging. Whatever they trying to tell people, they need
to tell them first so they can translate and then
(01:42:52):
bring it to the masses.
Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
And also salute to the CEO of Red Lobster, Demola
Adam Lokin. I know I said his name wrong, but
he's to see you a Red Lops but you.
Speaker 3 (01:43:00):
Know, and once again I told him during the interview,
he's one of those people that folks always ASKU. It's like,
what's your favorite interview? Or you know, who do you
want to interview? And I never know who we want
to interview, Like it's never a thing, like I'm never
sitting around thinking like the only person I ever wanted
the interview was Judy Bloom, like wanted to like that's
my whole life. But when I saw his name on
the schedule, I'm like, that's somebody I wanted to talk to.
I'm glad we got to have that conversation. Yes, all right,
(01:43:23):
Well you got a positive note I do. My positive
note is simple. I want everybody out there to remember this.
Successful people have a sense of gratitude. Unsuccessful people have
a sense of entitlement.
Speaker 7 (01:43:36):
Have a nice day, you are right, breakfast club, you
don't finish or y'all done
