That's right, all rights, amongst other things. Let's get the
show cracking. We got front page news. I'm sure we're
talking about Senator Corey Booker. He was on that Senate
floor for a long time, the longest in history. We'll
talk about that. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, Good
morning everybody. It's DJ v Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
We are the breakfast Club.

Speaker 7 (03:41):
Let's get in some front page news.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Good morning Morgan, Good morning you guys. Happy Tuesday. How

Speaker 2 (03:51):

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Good?

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Good, love to hear it.

Speaker 9 (03:57):
All right, So last night a Senator Cory Booker of
New Jersey, he broke the record for the longest Senate
speech ever, clocking in twenty five hours and four minutes now.
The New Jersey Democrats started his marathon speech at seven
o'clock Eastern time on Monday night in protest of Trump's administration,
his policies, and admittedly myself, I did not understand the

(04:19):
gravity of what a marathon speech was, but I can
assure you I do now, and I bet many of
you guys do too, after seeing the media coverage. Right, so, Booker,
he is protesting President Trump's tariffs, his efforts and initiatives
to dismantle the Department of Education, and other policies, saying
the nation is currently in crisis. Senator Booker was allowed
to take extended pauses for questions from fellow Democrats, and

(04:41):
he also broke that record, of course, prior to the
record of the longest Senate speech ever. I'll get into
who had the record before that, but first let's take
a listen to Senator Corey Booker's the audio of him
breaking that record with the Senator yield for a question.

Speaker 10 (04:57):
Chuck, she were it is the only time in my
life I can tell you.

Speaker 11 (04:59):
No, I just want to tell you a question. Do
you know you have just broken the record? Do you
know how proud this caucus is of you. Do you
know how proud America is of you?

Speaker 6 (05:16):
So the point of the speech you said it was
twenty five hours, twenty five hours and four minutes.

Speaker 9 (05:21):
So reportedly Senator Booker he is currently recovering right now,
and he says there's a good reason that he had
to stand up to the Trump administration and that he
knew he couldn't sit by and do nothing. He also
spoke about how his smart watch showed construction some concerning
statistics while.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
He was speaking. Let's take a listen to that audio.

Speaker 10 (05:41):
They're going to try to push through a bill that's
going to gut eight hundred and eighty billion dollars for medicaid.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
They're going to try to put forward.

Speaker 10 (05:49):
To a bill that's going to give tax cuts to
the wealthiest of our country disproportionately trillions of dollars. It's
outrageous and we have got to try to stop them.
This is really about folks leading from their hearts and
deciding I'm not going to just let business as usual
go on in my life. It gave me nothing on
a sleep score because it's I didn't My heart rate

(06:09):
was pretty damn high after about four or five hours,
A little bit high.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
That's concerning. So there are definitely some physical things. I'm
feeling it now.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I'm not mad at it. You know, Corey showed
some fight. He's doing something. You know, he's at least
acting like the times we are in aren't normal. And
you know, I still don't know what just accomplished. But
if it energizes you know, other people to do something,
I'm all for it.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, that was gonna be my question.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
Like I said, I'm a supportive of anybody that's that's
boycotting or whatever or taking a stand, But what does
accomplish after twenty five hours?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Was it awareness? Was it to get people more people
talking about it? All of that? With this news cycle?

Speaker 7 (06:45):
Tomorrow it won't even exist, you know, people won't gonna
be talking about it anymore. So I'm just asking, like, so,
what is what should we do from here?

Speaker 3 (06:52):
I think it just energized other people to do something.
You know, Corey chose to do something, you know, like
you said, he took a stand, yeah for twenty five.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yeah, so there's no bathroom, there's no lunch, like, there's
no nothing.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
He has to do this for twenty five hours straight.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (07:08):
So in fact, when it comes to the bathroom, he
said he fasted the day leading up to his speech,
and he.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Also, uh, you know, stopped he stopped eating. I think
it was like two days before.

Speaker 9 (07:16):
And then he said the day before on Monday Sunday,
he stopped drinking to avoid things like going to the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, nokoy, if you would diaper, just go ahead and
tell us. I don't believe that. Now he's fifty five,
I'm forty six. Don't wait for nobody my yearine, don't
wait for nobody. There's no way he's said twenty five
hours in Yeah, nothing came to the bathroom break.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
Yeah, to a body break now, m guy, let him
take a body. But he might have had a diaper
come on, a male diaper or someone like that. Because
twenty five hours so young, I'm.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Still over here like I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, I need more details. Do you shure there was
nobody breaks Morgan?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
He was able to take questions.

Speaker 9 (07:55):
That's all I'm I've been able to see in terms
of breaks. But uh, I do think it fascinating that
he broke the speech. The record for the speech which
is the longest Senate for speech was back was twenty
four hours and eighteen minutes back in nineteen fifty seven.
That was Democratic Senator Storm Thurman of South Carolina Charlemagne
who tried to stop the passage of these Civil Rights
Act in nineteen fifty seven.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
So look how far we've come in sixty seven years.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Right, yeah, yeah, because nobody else going to do that
twenty five twenty five hours.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
But to your point, Charlomagne, he.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Wasn't allowed to use the bathroom.

Speaker 9 (08:29):
Yeah, yeah, no, you can't take a break or recessing
those things.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Yeah, a catheterist. No, I'm just I don't know.

Speaker 9 (08:36):
But to your point, Charlemagne, yeah, I do think it
raised some awareness. I would have liked to see somebody
step in, you know, next and continue with another twenty
four or you know, but for it to end, it's
kind of like, you.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Know what now.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
But yeah, and that was my question. You know, he
did send out this mass text yesterday. Corey Booker did
shut up.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I swear to God, I know. But that's all. But
is what he is? What he wanted from this money? Okay? Yes,
for donations? All right, that's it. That's what I say.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
No more.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I forget you, thank you. That's what it was.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
So it was kind of back with election results at seven.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Okay, all what you got? You got the like mine,
said Leonard Is Cory Booker. I just walked off the
Senate floor. I may be tired in a little horse,
but as I said again and again, get that's what
the one you got.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
Yeah, that's so, it's like church the donation.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
I believe that history will show we rose to meet
this moment. It will show we did not let the
chaos and division go unanswered. It will show that when
Donald Trump chose to spread lies and so fair, we
chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.
If you support our moving of justice, that's.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
The reason to lock some doors.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
That's what closed them doors.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
I was up there talking for twenty five I was
closing doors. I need forty thousand right now.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's how it ended.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
That's the letter.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's how the note ended. Damn, don't make me lock
the door.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
Cory Booker, All right, get it off your chest. Eight
hundred five eight five, one oh five one. If you
need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. Eight
hundred five eight five. It's the breakfast club the morning,
the breakfast club, wake up, wake up, as.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
You're time to get it off your chest.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Whether your man or blessed, we want to hear from
you on a breakfast clos.

Speaker 12 (10:19):
Hello, Yo, what's up?

Speaker 4 (10:21):

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh you early in the morning.

Speaker 12 (10:30):
Paul, Hey, chill, chill, chill, God Man, Look, I just
want to say, man, your boy is blessed.

Speaker 14 (10:37):
Your boy's tap. You're still alive.

Speaker 12 (10:39):
You know I got robbed, My house got robbed and
destroyed last week. Man, But hey, I'm still alive. I'm
still going.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Man, I'm sorry to hear that. Black man. Where you're from, brom.

Speaker 12 (10:50):
Darton Man, South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was a home invasion.

Speaker 12 (10:54):
Yeah, I mean I wasn't home, so I guess it
was just a regular burgulary. But the boy destroyed my
whole apartment. You know, I was saving up. Man, boy
took my cash at my house, took a few more things.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
But hey, man, at least you're alive. You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
You know, I was just having a conversation with one
of the homies this morning. Actually, me and Duvall was
talking this morning and I was just like, man, you know,
we we've lost all sense of purpose and what's important,
and nothing's more important than life. And you know, folks
take their own lives and the lives of others for
granted every day. So the fact that you, even though
went through this hard situation, you know that you can
get the material items back, your life can't get that back.

(11:29):
So I'm glad you had, brother, absolutely.

Speaker 12 (11:31):
And that's really appreciate that. Charlotte Maine. Man, could I
get a book?

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Of course? Come on, now that's home team. Did you
have the Alamo on your house? Bro?

Speaker 12 (11:44):
I had no alarm, man, and I just got my
camera removed, so like I didn't have no camera, no alarm,
so man, I pretty much got to get it back
in with this hard work. Man.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's horrible, brother, brother, I'm sorry for that.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
Hold on again, and I tell everybody out there, don't
get too content. I know a lot of times things
get comfortable and you might forget to put your law
on your house. You might forget to check the windows
and lock the doors. Don't get comfortable, because when you
get comfortable, you never know what will happen. And I
tell that to everybody myself included, Hello, who's this?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
This is?

Speaker 15 (12:15):
Where are you doing?

Speaker 4 (12:16):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
We'll get it off your chest.

Speaker 15 (12:18):
I had a commisation for the white guy yesterday and
he said America is the greatest country in the world.
And I beg the difference because we got past and conservation.
We got brothers that in princedent that have to take
me for things that they didn't do because they have
no choice. And a lot of people will say, you
have choices to stand up and pick the tree. If

(12:38):
you have a case in front of you're looking at life,
how you're gonna roll your dice? And nine every seven
of the time, as the black man goes before all
white Jewish, he's going to get a hotter sentence. And
then we got more also certain shooting on a black men.
And we don't like to talk about race. So I
don't know where term Scott, which is from South Cline
saying is that we don't have race, not see it

(13:01):
and deal with it every day. And it's heartbreaking because
they stand before judge and whatever sistom it's given to them.
We got to deal with it. We got a man
in office like the president, he doesn't dealing with the
laws himself. He's a book of law. So how can
we stand and say that America is a great place,
but the man who's running the church as a president,

(13:22):
the laws doesn't apply to him. It's just wrong and
heart breaking.

Speaker 16 (13:27):
So before I get off, I want to say it
to Charlemagne. Charlemagne, you've done a lie to South Crone.
I appreciate all you've done, the donation and stuff. I'm
not gonna get all into it, but I appreciate all
you've done for South Crone because I know I'm from
South Cloina and envy.

Speaker 15 (13:41):
I've watched I'm sixty five years so I've watched you grown.
He's grown.

Speaker 14 (13:45):
Keep doing what you do.

Speaker 15 (13:46):
A lot of love to y'all.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Thank you so much. Thank you have a blessed that
I really appreciate you.

Speaker 7 (13:50):
MANE get it off your chest eight hundred and five
eight five one five one if you need to vent
and hit us up now, it's the breakfast club.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
The breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Is your time to get it off your chest, whether
you're mad or blast.

Speaker 14 (14:06):
So we got to have the same energy we want to.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Hear from you on the breakfast class.

Speaker 15 (14:10):
Allow this good morning your boy, love you from the Brooks.

Speaker 14 (14:13):
Come one of my breakfast to family.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Good morning, big p B. Love you.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
What's happening.

Speaker 17 (14:20):
That's my guy. But I just I got a little
push back against my brother Charlottemainne yesterday for the daunky
of the day.

Speaker 14 (14:26):
As you guys know, you know, I'm a single father.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Book.

Speaker 17 (14:29):
At one of my jobs, i work with Department of
Children and Families. I'm an advisory to the fatherhood. I
advocate for fathers and what we what you talked about
yesterday is my point. Fathers don't have support groups. Fathers
don't have resources. So that father yesterday could have been
really in a position where he couldn't buy his kids
a happy meal the next day. So I don't co

(14:49):
shine leave your children anywhere, but I do know that
we don't have the resources and the support groups.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
That's what I said yesterday.

Speaker 14 (15:00):
So I'm saying that we can identify the problem and
support the fathers. Maybe the farthers wouldn't be in his position.
I have a group called Chop it Up where we
fill those boys.

Speaker 15 (15:10):
What if the fathers can't be there?

Speaker 14 (15:12):
If your daughter got chier leading. If your son got
a basketball game, the fathers from the chopp it Up
will fill that.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Boy.

Speaker 14 (15:18):
There need to be more groups like that.

Speaker 15 (15:19):
Shout up to my.

Speaker 17 (15:20):
Chop it Up brothers.

Speaker 14 (15:21):
But there need to be more groups like that where
we support farbs and not condemn them.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
And that is a support group. And they have a
group like that in the Gust. I forgot the name
of it right now, but I said it yesterday. But yeah,
you know my biggest point yesterday, man, you don't jeopardize
your child's safety in the pursuit of employment, because there's
no job on this planet that would make up for
something happening to your child. I don't care where you work,
what job you put potentially get, how much money you

(15:46):
could be paid. Nothing comes before the protection and safety
of your kids.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
Yeah, no, I agree. I just didn't think he needs
to get arrested for it. I just I just think
that's a harsh for that man to get locked up
and then have to pay for an attorney that he
doesn't have obviously, and has to you know, have that
on this record, which gonna make it even more difficult
for to get a job.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, he deserved the donkey of to day.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
Absolutely, but for him to get arrested, like I said,
give him the resources. If it was something else, like
if he was going to the club, anything else, I
get it.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
But the thing that the fact that man was trying
to better his life.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
With child negligence laws and child negligence laws, there's nothing
we can do about that.

Speaker 14 (16:18):
Absolutely, But to see, the bigger problem is now the
partlement of chilling families are going to open up a
case against them. So now for you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 16 (16:26):
So he's gonna.

Speaker 14 (16:27):
Be fighting the uphill battle. But let him know that
I am on the advisory world for the Fatherhood Engagement.
So if he needs reach out to the breakfast club,
I could tap into him. I could help him with
the resources, because that's what I do. I advocate beforwards
in this position.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
And I also want to say all of that is great,
but you know, you do have to wait to see
if this case is what it says it is on paper, right,
because there were some people that were pointing some things
out to me yesterday which I already had noticed, but
I didn't say nothing because I will put that on
the brother's that I mean, I'm just if your You
got a two hour job.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
And you keep coming back and forth.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Remember there was a witness that said they saw the
guy come back two or three times.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Check on.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
So what job if you last two or three two hours?
And what job if you let you come back and forth?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Maybe too orientation?

Speaker 6 (17:16):
That sound like an orientation like you already got the
job and y'all get breaks in between.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
It don't sound like an interview.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's all. That's all I'm saying, Hello, who's this here?

Speaker 16 (17:24):
What's the envy?

Speaker 2 (17:25):
What's up?

Speaker 18 (17:26):
Trap?

Speaker 19 (17:27):
That's hilarious?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
How you doing your pieceis what's happening.

Speaker 19 (17:31):
I'm just calling to tell everybody that the world's most
amazing events.

Speaker 4 (17:36):

Speaker 2 (19:46):

Speaker 7 (19:47):
Let's get to the latest with Lauren Laen becoming a
straight fast.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
She gets him. Somebody that knows, somebody gets the detail.

Speaker 13 (19:55):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
And she'd be having the latest on you. Opportunities, the
latest with Laura la Rosa.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit. Every time.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
It's the leader on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Talk to me.

Speaker 20 (20:11):
There is a new Diddy accuser. This is a man
from Florida. He is suing for human trafficking after he
alleges that did he strapped the penis to his face
and made him parade around.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
Why did you clap?

Speaker 3 (20:25):
I heard a good one in a minute, but I
don't believe that will continue.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Strapped.

Speaker 20 (20:31):
He said that he alleges that Diddy strapped a penis
to his face and made him parade around a party.
And he says that in this party, uh, jay Z,
Beyonce Lebron and Gloria Estevan saw him in rare form
because of this now Halloween, No, it was actually he
claims it was a seventeenth birthday party that Diddy threw

(20:53):
for his son Christian. But there's some issues with the
timeline and in the description of the party, but we'll
get to that now. I want to point out that
jay Z, Beyonce Lebron, James, Gloria Esavon, and they mentioned
Jacob the Jeweler in the lawsuit as well, but they're
not being sued.

Speaker 13 (21:07):
They're just a part of the story set up, right.

Speaker 20 (21:10):
So this man says that this took place in April
twenty fifteen during the b DA party for Christian.

Speaker 13 (21:16):
He says that he was drugged.

Speaker 20 (21:18):
He alleges he was drugged and taken to Star Island
in Miami for the big party. When he got there,
first he stopped at Gloria Estevan's house because there's a
couple stops on the Brow and when he got there,
he got to this mansion. He then saw Lebron walking
in a hallway in a bad tee, and he claims
that Lebron looked at him and said, y'all, brot do
something about that, because the man says that he was
drugged and he was just so out of order that

(21:39):
he looked crazy. And then the guy says, he claims
that he was taken to a secret tunnel in Diddy's
mansion on Star Island, and at that time he started
regaining consciousness and he looks up and he notices that
jay Z and Beyonce are there, and he alleges that
Beyonce saw him.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
No, they were performing the party.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, so they saw him with the penis on his head?

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah, allegedly yes.

Speaker 20 (22:06):
And then he alleged that Beyonce saw him and said,
what's this? What's this all about?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
That's right? Go roll?

Speaker 20 (22:14):
No, Oh my god, why is there a half naked
white man with a penis mask standing here in front
of me?

Speaker 13 (22:20):
That's what according to him, Beyonce said, Well.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's how she would have known if she'd been to
a Diddy party before that was her first time in
the Didty party?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Go ahead?

Speaker 13 (22:30):
Now again, remember this is the second stop.

Speaker 20 (22:32):
So after this, now he's in he's in the Diddy's
mansion and allegedly he's being paraded around with this penis mask,
and he says that he was taunted and humiliated.

Speaker 13 (22:42):
He says that he was then stripped naked and they
put him in.

Speaker 20 (22:45):
A small thong bikini bottom and a black leather mask
with a rubber dam forcibly inserted and zip clothes over
his head.

Speaker 13 (22:53):
He was made to wear that as well. Sounds like
some sort of like sex toy.

Speaker 20 (22:57):
And then oh yes, and then he says that there
was a blocking sex device that was put on the
mask that protruded from his mouth.

Speaker 13 (23:05):
Y'all know, y'all, y'all got.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
So he was Yeah, so he was awake by this time, right, Yeah,
he just couldn't take it off.

Speaker 20 (23:12):
Yeah, he said that he was still like kind of
out of it, but he began to regain consciousness from
whatever it was that he was given allegedly drugged by.
So then he says that he was then degraded and
he was made to do non consensual sexual acts. Now
here's the issue with this, So the seventeenth birthday party
April twenty fifteen did happen for Christian Colmbs, who was

(23:34):
Didy's son. But the way that this man describes this party,
because he said it was a freak all, this isn't
consistent with the way that the freak afs are described
described in all of the federal indictments. Also, too, he
mentions that he saw jay Z and Beyonce. Jay Z
was publicly in New York on April first, twenty fifteen.
He was at a title speaking event. Crazy you needed

(23:55):
to go look it up. Wow, that's not the internet,
that's your phone album, the album that is her folloween.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
All of these civil cases are going to be the
reason did he walks on his criminal case because none
of these civil cases sound believable at all, And folks
are starting to get Diddy's story fatigue, and when you
hear so many unbelievable sounding stories, you start to question everything.
So it's going to be very, very tough to find,
you know, jurors who aren't biased in some way.

Speaker 7 (24:25):
Shape before, but not only that, what lawyer is taking
it without doing their due diligence like the fact that
you know, it was easy to find out that Jay
wasn't even there was in New York during that time.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
That means his attorneys are not doing their.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
Due diligence and taking these cases. And like you said,
this is that's gonna be the reason why people don't
believe what's really going on, that something is going on now.

Speaker 20 (24:43):
Spokesperson for Lebron told TMZ because they broke the story,
that this is false and that he doesn't even mayor
a report. This doesn't even marior a report of response.
Basic Internet search shows that Lebron, what Lebron was doing
on April of twenty fifteen, he was playing basketball for
the Cleveland Cavaliers and was never in Miami.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
Now, and they got him walking down the hallway with
a bath town yes, talking about what's going on here?

Speaker 5 (25:09):
I need to do something about that.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yep. Crazy yep.

Speaker 20 (25:12):
And then Jay Z's attorney, Alex Buro, he doubled down
on what TMZ was able to easily piece together from Google.
He said, mister Carter wasn't in Florida at the time
to witness this incident. He was engaged in easily findable
and easily findable public activities that proved that he was
not at this event. This is more nonsense that just
erose the trust in our justice system. And now Gloria Estevan,

(25:35):
her rep says that you know, Gloria strongly denies the allegations.
The property in question was never a home where Gloria
even resided, but it was rather a house they owned
for family use. There were no parties throwing at the
property between twenty twelve and twenty nineteen. We have all
necessary documentation to support these facts and will provide it
in court.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
That's why, you know, in a way, they needed to
make it to where civil cases can't be filed until
after the criminal case is complete because it these the waters.
Like I said earlier, you know what I'm saying, These
civil cases, you know, don't sound believable anymore. So it
makes you question everything, including criminal And that's some good drugs.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
If you can wake up and think you see Lebron,
Beyonce and Jay Z.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
And you thought you had a penis on your face,
what that's some drugs.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Now, I'll take it a step further.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
I think these attorneys should be able to get some
type of charges put on them the fact that they're
not doing due diligence. Hey, you ruined somebody's name, or
you can muddy somebody's name, muddy somebody's there's no penalties
and nothing.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
They messed it up for the criminal attorneys.

Speaker 20 (26:35):
Well, we talked about this, or I said, we be
talking to myself. I talked about this on the latest
the podcast.

Speaker 13 (26:41):
I actually do. And if you talk over yourself, I
mean yeah, because too many thoughts at one time, one time.

Speaker 20 (26:47):
But on the podcast, I was saying, how on Diddy
side for the criminal situation, even though there's that video
steal right this, If I'm majority and I keep seeing
all these crazy accusations and things being thrown out, maybe
I could be like, hold on, wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
And that video is being thrown out, right, they can't
use that video.

Speaker 20 (27:03):
They were going back and forth trying to figure it out.
But they the issue was that they said that they
didn't have the original video. But then remember prosecutors came
out and said, no, we do have a recording of
the original video.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
If you're adjuror to that point. That's what I'm been
saying the whole time. If you see all of these
different cases to get thrown out, and all of this
stuff starts to sound unbelievable when you're sitting there like, well,
why should I believe any of this in the criminal trup.

Speaker 20 (27:22):
Yeah, I'm just saying about how crazy I probably sound
to my videographer interrupted myself.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
All right, well it's good the latest with Laura.

Speaker 7 (27:32):
Now when we come back, we have front page news
and the NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace will be joining us.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning,
you're checking out the Breakfast Club showing everybody your CJ MV.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
Just hilarious, charlamagne ya gud. We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get back in some front page news.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Yeah, so let's get back into it.

Speaker 9 (27:51):
Voters in Wisconsin and Florida headed to the polls yesterday
and what many are calling a national political power struggle,
not to mention, it's like getting attempt chuck on the
American people, you know, especially those who voted for Trump.
And Florida voters decided on two pivotal vacant house seats.
Republican Jimmy Patronis is projected to be the winner in
Florida's first congressional district he defeated. He defeated Democrat Gay

(28:16):
Gay Vallamont in a special House election for the seat
that was vacated by former Representative Matt Gates, and that
win gives the Republicans a razor thin margin in the
US House of Representatives. Also, in Florida, a Republican Randy
Fine is projected to be the winner in the sixth
congressional districts. He defeated Democrat Josh Whale in the special
House election for the seat that was vacated by former

(28:37):
Representative Michael Walt. Again, that gives the Republicans just the
slight edge in the House of House of Representatives. So
in Wisconsin, a Supreme court a state Supreme Court election
was held and Liberal Susan Crawford is projected to be
the winner of the open seat of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Crawford defeated Republican Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schmill Skymill excuse me,

(29:02):
it's and it was actually on record to be the
most expensive state Supreme Court race in US history, with
both sides spending and estimated one hundred million dollars in
their campaigns. Sheesh so that's an interesting way of looking
at things. That seems like the seat switched in Wisconsin,
that's a win for Dems, and of course in Florida,

(29:25):
the GOP seems to maintain their edge.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
Moving on to the House, Republican leader in.

Speaker 9 (29:31):
The House is downplaying President Trump's thoughts on serving a
third term.

Speaker 21 (29:35):
Now.

Speaker 9 (29:36):
Trump has said there are methods for making it happen,
but there is a long way to go as it
is early in his administration. Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson
said the Constitution would have to be amended and that's
a high bar, adding that a lot would have to
happen for Trump to run again, but he could see
why people would want him to run again. So let's
take a listen to House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Speaker 22 (29:56):
He recognizes the constitutional limitations, and I'm not sure that
there's a move about to him in the constitution. There's
a constitutional paths. You have to amend the Constitution to
do it, and that's a high bar. You know, we
take him at his word. I understand why so many
Americans do wish that he could run for a third term,
because he's accomplishing so much in this first one hundred days.
That they wish it could go on for a much longer.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
We shouldn't even be entertaining this, like we're talking about
authoritarian rule as if it's normal. Like we're talking about
something that's unconstitutional, as running for a third term, as
if it's normal.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
And that's literally how those things get normalized.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
And it is unconstitutional.

Speaker 9 (30:31):
As you mentioned Charlamagne, serving three terms as president is
prohibited by the constitution under the twenty second Amendment. And
I know people have been, you know, talking about different
ways that it can happen. Of course, the president has
said there are ways of making it happen. But you know,
I also found out that that if he does run
as let's say VP, and whoever he runs with us
is elected president and that president steps down, well, the

(30:53):
twelfth Amendment then states that he would be ineligible to
serve again.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
So yeah, I read that, Yes, he'd be ineligible to serve,
ineligible to serve again because of what's amended in the
twenty second Amendment.

Speaker 9 (31:04):
Right, yes, absolutely, Well between the twenty second and the
twelfth twelve, Yeah, there's there's no third term period. So yeah,
just but something to watch. So when Trump says, you know,
there are ways of making it happen. I'm curious to
know what those ways are when the Constitution seemingly is
ironclad in this.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
So the way I asked a question, I know it
has happened before.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
Where president, you know, did a third So how did
that president do it before they amended it.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
After after Okay, yeah, this was prior to that amendment.
Absolutely elsewhere in the House. I think it's it's interesting
that House Speaker Mike Johnson suffered an interesting loss in
involving his own party yesterday. This after nine Republicans joined
all Democrats and going against a procedural rule that would
have killed off an effort to allow new parents to
vote remotely around the birth of their child.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Now.

Speaker 9 (31:48):
The vote also blocked votes on Republican priorities to limit
power of federal judges.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Johnson said the vote remains.

Speaker 9 (31:55):
The vote means that the House can no longer further
seek action on the floor. This we of Florida Republican
Representative Anna Paulina Luna. She left the Conservative House Freedom
Caucus when her colleagues would not back the bipartisan measure.
So it does look like there is a bit of
a shift in Congress. There you know, people are starting
to I guess stand on what it is they believe

(32:15):
a lit'll be so, but bringing things home to you
guys in New York, New York City Mayor Eric Adams
is among those reacting to the DOJ's decision to seek
the death penalty for the accused CEO killer our United
Healthcare CEO killer, Luigi Manjoni. Adams seems to be on
board with the death penalty. Let's take a listen to

(32:36):
New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Speaker 7 (32:38):
You intentionally went in and you took someone's life. It
was a horrific act and whatever process they put in place,
respect that process.

Speaker 9 (32:47):
So Attorney General pan Bondi is ordering federal prosecutors to
seek the death penalty. The twenty six year old IVY
League grad allegedly shot and killed Brian Thompson on Manhattan
sidewalk in December, and Bondi called the killing pre meditatored,
cold blooded assassination that shocked America. Meanwhile, man Joni's attorney
says the move shows that the Justice Department is moving
from the dysfunctional from is moving from the dysfunctional to

(33:10):
the barbaric. What do you, guys, think death penalty for
Luigi Manjoni. That was a scary time in New York
when all of that went went down.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I mean, you know, destiny is not a matter of
a chance, It's a matter of choice. Luigi made a choice,
and you know.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (33:25):
I don't feel I don't. I don't know how I
feel about the death penlity, I really don't. I will
say that the death penalty is in play. This would
be the perfect person for it, right He actually killed somebody,
he was a vigilante, did it on his own, He
did it. Damn there broad daylight in public. This would
be you would be the perfect candidate for it, right.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I just never know how I feel about the death
penalty because I don't know if that's a choice that
other humans should be able to make.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
That I know, Yeah, throwing money to jail fever, you
know what I mean. But I don't know. I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
I don't know how I feel. I never know how
I feel about the death penity. Whenever I hear about,
you know, somebody getting the deafpinity, I never know how
I feel about it. Yeah, But to MB's point, this
is such a blatant case, right, like, this isn't a
We're not going to look back twenty years from now
and be like, oh, you got the wrong.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Gut right you know?

Speaker 9 (34:09):
Yeah, absolutely, And I know we probably run it out
of time, but I wanted to mention that the Target
boycott is seemingly working guys. So, after Target decided to
roll back their policies on DEI, retail Brew reports foot
traffic in the store has dropped five point seven percent
a year over year from March seventeenth. Last week it
dropped seven point one percent and it's been dropping six
point two percent for the last eight weeks. With Easter
around the corner, you would think the retailer would see

(34:31):
a bit of an increase, but no, sales continue to drop.
They also reported a three point one loss in the
fourth quarter.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Of last year.

Speaker 9 (34:37):
Retailers like Costco, who have kept their DEI policies have
sawt an increase of five point two percent in foot
traffic and sales year over year. Costco reported also reported
thirteen consecutive weeks of increases, So it looks like go
ahead and continue to keep your foot on their next
In terms of the boycott, it is working and the
retailers are feeling it.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
The Target praying for a resurrection around Easton.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
OK.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
They need they open to rise from whatever you know,
current condition that they're in.

Speaker 9 (35:06):
Hey, I don't know between the tariffs and Target. Yeah,
it's given hunger down. But that's the front page news.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
All went to the first first and in a while.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Okay, oh you are the first.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
No. When of Scott was he opened the door for
all of us, and so I've been the first to
win since him got Yeah with him, I was that
sixties Okay, yeah, right, So it's been a really cool journey,
lots up and downs. Been in the Cup Series for
eight years now has been I've learned a lot, I've
grown a lot. I've got a couple of gray hairs
in my beard from from I guess every year that

(36:23):
I've been in that. I say every race I've been
in the Cup Series. But it's humbling no one that
there's not many of us there. But you know, I'm
leading the way for a generation that that is paying attention.
You have a following and a demographic that wants to
be a part of the sport. It's it's cool to
be at the front of that.

Speaker 23 (36:39):
How did you get into race? Car driving started when
I was a kid in go karts. My dad had
a go cart and he raced a couple of times.
He flipped all three times. I have yet to flip
in my careers. Yeah, yeah, knock on wood.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
But my dad got us started and I invited to
come out are. He told us to come out and
watch a family friend of ours just sitting in the stands.
Became a fan that way, I want to go kart
and went race.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
Where the name Bubba come from?

Speaker 4 (37:01):
My sister Yes, Uh, we don't know why. She said
she didn't have a speech impediment. Uh, she just decided
to call me Bubba. So she's five years older than me. Yeah,
and it's stuck ever since. So well, it was confusing
at the racetrack, right because I'm a junior. So hey, Darryl,
my dad would turn around and they were trying to
get in touch with me. So we were just like,
let's let's go with Bubba. It makes it easier and

(37:24):
it's fun. Everybody's a Bubba, especially now. So yeah, it's yeah.
Do you so you're in breath responsibility of being you know,
are you the only black man at the cup level?

Speaker 17 (37:35):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, so you in brieth responsibility of being that person
at the forefront in fixt generation.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Yeah. Yeah, we got we got some youth coming up.
We got Rajah Caruz coming up through in the truck series,
and it's it's fun being a mentor to him and
the others coming through and yeah, I sense a responsibility
there to you know, carry myself the right way, but
also show that I'm here to stay and and and
make a name for myself as well. So you know,
the only way to create boundaries is to cross them

(38:02):
and figure out, you know, what to do what not
to do. So I've made some mistakes along the way,
but it's shaped me and helped me to become who
I am today. And so you know, off track, on
track stuff has been phenomenal. I could say this. This
whole year started out really really strong force and nothing.
Nothing's better than winning. So it's been a while since
I've been in victory lane, but not for a lack
of effort.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
We'll put enough Carolina, Are you from Charlotte? Charlotte was big.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
That was big growing up, like race Yeah, so like
I grew up fifteen minutes from the racetrain. Oh so
all the race teams were all within the thirty minute
radius of each other.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (38:35):
I was going to ask how difficult was it because
coming up there wasn't too many of us in the stands.
I'm sure there's not too many of us in the
stands now, but there was way less in the stands.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
So how difficult was it. I'm sure you had to face.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
Racism other drivers of teams, and how difficult was fighting
through that?

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Honestly, my my mom was my parents, both my parents,
but my mom was, you know, the driving force behind
of just never given the media any negative to talk about. Right. Well,
I failed at that a couple of times, but she
was always just keeping me aware of the said scenarios,
right and and for me, though I grew up in
a well diverse community, didn't see color, still don't, and

(39:10):
it just didn't didn't matter to me. So when I
jumped into it, there was I think two of us
that were of color, and Benny Mingo he actually works
at our race shop now, so it's crazy how he
works on a race cars. But it was just the
two of us and didn't bother me one bit. You know,
growing up, you know, the higher you got in the rankings,
the better you got, you know, the faster the cars.

(39:30):
You know, I was the only one and still didn't
bother me. All I cared about was winning. And it
sounds like a very just cliche, typical straight line answer,
but I didn't give a damn right, and I still
don't because at the end of the day, we're all
human beings and that's that's how I view each other.
And we just happen to be a little bit darker
than others, and that's okay. But if you treat each
other with respect, then you demand that respect back and
if they can't give that back, then they're not the

(39:51):
people for you. So that's how I've kind of viewed
life and have enjoyed life no matter what's thrown at us.
I agree with that.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
You know, when you would you being up by sure right,
Whenever you feel people come at you for being black,
do you ever be like, well, I'm white too.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
Halfway to yeah, I mean you have to kind of
balance both hats really, you know. You know, I have
a black side in my family, have a white side
in my family.

Speaker 17 (40:15):
And so.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
That's a good question.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
Where do you go for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 4 (40:21):
That's a good I like to stay home. Now, I
ain't got to do nothing. Damn, you put me on
the spot, you know. You know I have to go
with my sister. I have to go with my sister,
the black side of family.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yeah, that food is definitely good.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
No, I think just trying to just walk both past
and can be tiring it sometimes because I just want
to walk down the middle, but it's just never that easy.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
Sometimes, Before we get to your dealing with Steve, I
want to ask how many people come up to you
and try to race you in the street when.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
You have a drive And does that happen a lot?

Speaker 17 (40:54):
No?

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Because I have tent on my windows so you can't
see who's yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
And do you ever get crazy on the street? Sometimes
you just like.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
No, No, I don't waste time though, So if we
got to drive to the grocery store, I'll I know
how to get to the grocery store, but I'll plug
it in the GPS see which ways the fastest way
and to see if I can get there faster.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Of course.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
Really uh, actually it's been a long long time, and
I could say I've I've been I've been pulled over
twenty twenty something times and only gotten like three tickets.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
It's nice, White Side.

Speaker 24 (41:30):
It was because they recognized you.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
She got to it.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
That's what I was.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Going with Steve Court with Robin Hood. So what's your
relationship with Robin Hood.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
It's just starting out so excited for the partnership that
we just announced be a part of twenty three eleven
and sponsoring myself and Corey him and a couple of
Cup races this year. So you know, hats off to
everybody at Airspeed on the marketing side of things to
bring in new sponsors to the sport. So it's be
the first time that robin Hood's is a part of our sport,
uh in this sort of capacity, and it's special so

(42:00):
it's fast paced so they.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Can keep up.

Speaker 24 (42:01):
Yeah, it's our first national sponsorship of sports. We have
a couple NBA teams that we sponsor the way.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
People that don't know what Robinhood is and what they do. Yeah, yeah,
let me.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
Let me quickly explain.

Speaker 24 (42:12):
So Robinhood basic we have about twenty five million customers
and Robinhood is a it's an investing app. What we've
been largely credited with is bringing twenty five million young,
very diverse, first time investors into the marketplace. So in
the US we're sitting close to sixty percent of US

(42:33):
households now are invested in the market. That's the envy
of the world. It's like twenty percent in Asia or
Europe or other places. And what we did is just
remove the friction, so if you have five dollars, if
you have ten dollars, you can invest.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
We removed all.

Speaker 24 (42:49):
The friction, made it very easy for people to have
access to the greatest wealth creation vehicle in the world.
So as important as it is for you to make money,
you have to put that money to work, and we've
made that really accessible for young people.

Speaker 7 (43:06):
My kids have Robinhood and it's very accessible. They know
how to use it, they invest in it. They're not
invested a lot of money, but yeah, bob dollars, it's
a start for them at a young But it used to.

Speaker 24 (43:16):
Like the whole system used to be kind of really
kind of inaccessible for young people because you had to
wait till you got you know, this amount of money
to be able to do it, and so really by
the time you got around to investing, it was a
little bit too late. The second component that we're really
really strongly focused on is it's one thing to give
them access, but it's another thing to make sure that

(43:37):
they do it in a way that's going to be
sustainable and that they're going to have a good investing career.
So we do a lot in the way of education,
both within our site and the app. But also we
go out to universities. We have a bunch of university
programs where we help people understand the importance of doing
this in a suitable manner, and then we give them

(43:58):
access to all of this and provide them with curriculum.
And then we have a newsletter that goes out every
morning to we have forty million people subscribed, basically describes
the day's news and then if there's something within that
news that could be an investable opportunity for them.

Speaker 7 (44:15):
We have more with Bubba Wallace and the chief brokerage
Officer of Robin Hood, Steve Kirk.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
When we come back as the Breakfast Club, Good Morning.

Speaker 7 (44:21):
Morning, everybody is DJ n V Jess Hilarious, Charlamage the
guy we are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it
with NASCAR driver Bubble Wallace and the chief brokerage Officer
of robin Hood app Steve Kirk.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Charalaman, what's your vetting process? But when it comes to
like who you choose to take on is responsible?

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Was just willing to pay Let's go, How's now what happened?
I mean, hey, I come from I remember, man, we
were doing about anything just to get anybody to spend
a buck, right, And so it's a tough sport to
be a part of it and want to invest in
two And for new companies to come into the sport
and not know which way updown, left or right. I

(45:01):
mean I would be hesitant as well, and so and
taking a risk on a kid that's trying to find
his way throughout the Cup series. But I feel like
now we've established ourselves, established our name, you know, within
the race team, within the sport, it makes it easier
for companies that want to be in part of our journey.
And yeah, you got you're associated with MJ.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
So yeah, no, how was that? MJ is a coal owner,
So how is he as a co owner? Do you
speak much? Do us talk much? Do you I play
one on one basketball?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
How is it not the basketball piece? He taught me
if if I know, I'm gonna go into something and
lose and not don't compete at all. So he won't
jump into a race car, I won't jump on the
basketball court catch and so MJ is super involved. Uh
And and it might be a shock to a lot
of people, And I think it was for me to
start because you think of somebody as as as big
as MJ that he can be doing anything else that

(45:48):
he wants with his time and his money. He has
a strong passion for NASCAR. He's been a fan. He's
watched even before he became a team owner. He was
a kid going to the races Darlington, Talladega, Charlotte. He
was going all these places with his family grown up,
and so he's always had a strong knack for NASCAR
and what it provides. And so now him being invested,

(46:10):
it's game over. He's watching each and every weekend, whether
he's here or overseas, whatever he's doing. I have a
text before and after the race every weekend. What does
he say, I lost some money? No, it's always encouraging.
He's always he's a glass half fool guy. No matter
how rough the day gets, he's always searching for the positives.
And so it's helped me grow up a lot in

(46:31):
a short amount of time.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
What about you, Steve? What made y'all want to say?
You know what NASCAR is where we want to spend
that money?

Speaker 24 (46:37):
Well, if we look at our customers, they're very into sports,
but they're if we just look at a robin hood
versus a non robinhood, customer, They're four times more likely
they're into motorsports, particularly NASCAR, and so this gives us
broad exposure you know, nationally as well, which I think
is very positive. And they just you know, they're as
passionate about their sports as they are about their investing,

(46:57):
so they tie together pretty nicely.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Got you was it hard for you to get sponsorship Bubble,
because you know, you always hear the stories about Serena Whims.
Even though she was dominant, you know, intends for a
period of time her en venus, it was hard for
them to get sponsorships. People just didn't feel like they
were marketable. Was it the same for you? Absolutely?

Speaker 4 (47:13):
You know, we look at the sport and the personalities
that you have within the side of our sport, and
there's there's a select few, and I feel like I'm
near the top of the list of just being personable
and likable despite all the BS that goes on. You know,
I'm gonna tell you how I feel, And I feel

(47:33):
like a lot of us inside of our sport are
very straight edged and cookie cutter, right, And that's that's okay.
You don't want to show your true colors and show
your cards. You keep that in your personal life, that's fine.
But for me, I've always just been tried. I tried
to be super relatable to everybody I meet, uh and
and make a lasting impression, uh to to eventually have
the investments come in and the funding come in. And

(47:56):
it seemed like nothing we ever did would would work.
And for whatever reason that it is, uh, it was
what it was. But it never stopped me from pursuing
what I wanted to do and fighting hard. You know,
now I look at the people that potentially said no,
we're good and just laugh because we're in a good spot.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Now, Who's the toughest driver you ever faced?

Speaker 4 (48:13):
And why?

Speaker 7 (48:14):
In Nascar is it like that? Like you know, as
a basketball you can say this is the toughest opponent.
In hockey, this is the toughest. Baseball, this is the toughest.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
It's different. It's it's different in regards of the tracks
that we go to. You know, for example, Denny had
won this weekend and this is at Martinsville, which is
one of his best tracks, and so when you show
up to said track, it's like who's the guy to beat?
That's how you look at it. So it's always different

(48:41):
throughout the throughout the circle throughout the year, so I
can't pinpoint it to one. Who's the biggest ass. That
also changes to depends on the mood that we're in.
What's what's your favorite track? Favorite track? Martinsville is one
of them, so Bristol's coming up here in two weeks.
That's another good one. Mostly all the short tracks, but

(49:02):
also the ones we've wont on too, So Talladay and
Kansas are good.

Speaker 7 (49:05):
Y'all get scrapping sometimes, y'all, y'all fight on that on
those tracks sometimes.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
Yeah, yeah, And and it's you know, you feel like
you're you've you're you're done wrong because I go back
to the respect thing. You show up with respect, you
you man respect and return and and sometimes you feel
like you're shorted or you're done wrong and for whatever reason.
You know, when I'm done wrong and I retaliate, it's
it's the world's end, and uh, all I'm doing And
when I've when I was grown up, you know, being

(49:31):
taught is you just get even. So I'm just getting even, like, oh, okay,
we're good. We can shake hands after the fact. We're
good now, but massive deal.

Speaker 7 (49:39):
Do y'all get suspended after y'all get into a fight,
because I remember you got into a fight a couple
of years ago.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Did you get suspended? Is there any penalties or anything?

Speaker 4 (49:45):
No, Well, the the rules are constantly changing, you know.
I got suspended for right rear hooking somebody, which basically
a pit maneuver, and and rightfully so, because it's happened
to me twice throughout my career.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Explain what that is.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
I'm lost like a pittmaneuver, Like somebody turns into you
on your right rear, spins you out, and like it's
the opposing car that you've done it too. Is you
just turn them right head on into the wall and
a high rate of speed, Yeah, kind of, and so
versus like hook them in the left rear, like they
kind of just go spinning throughout the infield and kind

(50:24):
of get it gathered back up. So it's happened to
me twice in my career, and it's the most, I'd say,
one of the most disrespectful things you can do. And
I found myself stooped down to that level and commit
the same deal. But the guy had just come up
to me and run me up in the wall and

(50:44):
was like, oh, We're just gonna go on about our day. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
They said that you did it on purpose.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
That's what they say. So people are gonna always talk
and have their opinions and that it is what it is.
But I regret doing that. I can say that truthfully,
and we've moved on past that. But as far as fighting, no,
because one, it's we're entertainment business and so it's good
good for entertainment. But they're quick to jump in. So
you have to, uh have to be methoughtical about how

(51:11):
you want to go about.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Isn't it a matter of life and death when you
out there one hundred plus miles for hour like it is.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
Our safety has come a long way, so you don't
think of it in that sort of fashion, but you
know it. All it takes is one wrong move.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
So do you want to raise Denny Hamley?

Speaker 4 (51:26):
Do I want to?

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Do you want to?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (51:28):
Because he was he was asked about you. He asked
what you need to do to beat him? And when
your first racing nearly two years and he said, you
have a decision to make. If you need to make
more speed on a corner exit, you must sacrifice something else.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Somewhere.

Speaker 6 (51:43):
You can't just put the throttle down and get more
speed on exit. It's an approach thing. Maybe you need
to slow up your censer a little bit more.

Speaker 5 (51:49):
Do you agree with them?

Speaker 4 (51:50):
Yeah? Do you know what that means?

Speaker 8 (51:51):
No, you're here, that's all right now.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
Now you have to explain that playing. So that's just
attacking the corners. Uh So the exit exit of the
corner versus the center of the corner versus the entry
of the corner. There's a there's ways to uh approach
every corner differently, and you know, it goes back to
the experience. Denny's been at these racetracks for twenty years
as to where I'm figuring it out still, so he
kind of has a better feeling, uh for what to

(52:23):
expect on entry in the center to set him up
for a better exit as to where I'm just like,
I'm gonna send it off in there and figure it out.
So it's uh, it definitely takes a lot of time
and a lot of seat time, a lot of just
skill and management and having the right people around here.

Speaker 7 (52:37):
We got more with Bubba Wallace when we come back
as the Breakfast Club going.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Morning, everybody is the dj Envy just hilarious.

Speaker 7 (52:43):
Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club is still
kicking with NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace and the chief brokerage
officer of the Robin Hood app Steve Quirk.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Charlamagne quote for you, Bubba, and on ask Steve too,
what do you consider the most rewarding aspect of the
work in the racing world, especially if you now winning
and you see what's the benefit of the invisibility of
what was not winning?

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Yeah, I would say the last three years I've really
taken it upon myself of trying different things, but putting
in the work and putting in the effort. And it
seemed like the last two years, the previous two years,
it didn't matter what I did, it kind of ended
up in the same results. And so this year I
kind of didn't flip the script. I said, we're gonna

(53:26):
you know, started working out better, started eating better, you know,
doing all the necessary things, paying attention to my sleep,
all these types of things, and the results are are
starting to show up quicker. And so the rewarding thing
is is knowing that you can pour your heart and
soul into something and when it doesn't work out, the
way you want it. Then a lot of self doubt

(53:47):
creeps in because you take it for me, I take
it up all my shoulders, like, well, damn, I guess
I'm not good enough. But then you see others that
are doing half the job but getting it done, and
so it's like, well, damn, what's the scenario I need
to put myself in. Well, I think it comes down
to just trust in the process. And I've realized that,
and I've said this recently a lot that your timeline

(54:07):
is going to be either quicker or slower than mine,
and that's okay, that's how we're built. We have to
appreciate the scenario that we're in for ourselves and work
on self and continuing to do that, because that's at
the end of day, that's all you got.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
What about you?

Speaker 3 (54:18):
What's like, what's the benefit of a like what's the
rewarding aspect of the work that Bubba's doing in the
recent world if he's if he's not winning for.

Speaker 24 (54:25):
Robin Hood, I would say it, Well, it starts really
with the think about robin Hood and the mission, and
you know what we're all aligned on, which is helping
helping a younger more diverse group of people have access
to financial services. In the end, what that creates and
that's why we're very aligned with twenty three eleven. And
of course this I can say this because I'm a

(54:46):
little older. This is a very impressive young man here,
I mean extremely impressive. And we're completely aligned in seeing
success not only from twenty three eleven, but of course
from from Bubba.

Speaker 7 (54:59):
I was gonna when when you get into those car wrecks, right,
you get a call from MJ and he's not like Bubba,
another car. How much of those calls place and do you.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Fix those calls? You just totally get a new call.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
It's uh, it's circumstantial. Like if you cause the wreck
and you're you know, and it becomes like a repeated offense,
then it's like, all right, what are we doing. But
a lot of the wrecks that I've been a part of,
I can trusully say it hasn't been my fault, Like
we're just caught up in somebody else's mess. But at
the end of the day, you do find yourself. If
you do find yourself in somebody else's mess constantly, then
it starts to deter to back to you because it's like,

(55:33):
quit putting yourself in that scenario. Well it's easy to blame, like, well, again,
it wasn't my fault. It doesn't matter, like run better, run,
run closer up front, or or or try a different,
better center for a better exit the corner the corners,
you know. So it's it's it all comes back to
self at the end of the day, and how you
can do what you can do to be better to

(55:54):
not put yourself in and said scenarios. But uh, but yeah,
it can get annoying sometimes, at least not for me
because I'm not paying them.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
How much of those costs are replace.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
I don't know what we're up to five hundred, and
how many calls do you have in the stories just
in case we're only allowed? I think like seven to
eight on rotation. Now, I many of you were right
this year, like two this year, twenty two years.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Yeah, that's a necessary expense, I would.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
Think, right, Like, it's a lot, and that's why you
want to have good partners to put the bill. So
thanks Robin Hood. Yeah, you know I wanted to ask.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
You know, you played a big role in getting the
Confederate Flag band from masscar means how did other drivers
who didn't want it band treat you after it?

Speaker 4 (56:39):
I necessarily can't say that they didn't want it banned,
so I didn't really know their their viewpoint on it.
But I think we all came together and you know,
as one as in unison and and uh. I think
that's all you could ask for in sports. But for
the ones that necessarily didn't want it banned, they've never
come forward or shown their displeasure, So I can honestly
say the sports has has been way better without it.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
So hold on, how do you know they haven't shown
their displeasure because there wasn't news found in your garage
back in twenty twenty?

Speaker 2 (57:04):
Was that before?

Speaker 4 (57:05):
Ah, well, that's weird. I think we're all human enough
to you know, if you in out of the driver's world,
you know, if you have a problem with it, just
kind of keep it to yourself and move on. And
I'm not treated differently or I just I don't speak
to said drivers, But I haven't had any instances where
the drivers have come at me for for you know,
removing the Confederate flag. It's it's everybody's been in support

(57:26):
of it, and we've moved on, so it is what
it is.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
They ever get to the bottom of the news thing
and find out.

Speaker 4 (57:30):
Who did it or no, yeah it was it was
there before we got there, years before we got there,
and it's just coincidence that I had that garage.

Speaker 21 (57:39):
So like it's it's wild, it's wild. So you know,
it is still a topic of discussion to this day.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
It's it's wild. You should see my Twitter mentions like
Bubba finished third, what was there news? You know, it's
it's it's wild that that is still going about it.
And but no, it was there before we even got there.
And just the one in a million katrillion coincidences that
I had that garaghed all and in fact it was
tied in a fashion like that. It could have been

(58:12):
this small. It doesn't matter. And so it is what
it is, and we've moved on from it. And it
sucks that the sport was put in that situation. That
I was putting that situation, our team was putting that situation.
But we've learned a lot about who we are as
a sport and who we are as competitors, and that's
all you can ask for.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Did he take a toll on you emotionally?

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Oh? Those year or two after that was rough, you know,
because you know, I went from being one of the
most I wouldn't say the most like drivers, but favorable drivers,
you know. But now it's it's just been the booze
and stuff. And that's okay because it's sports and I'm
a big you know, I love going to college football
games Tennessee and college basketball games. And I'm not a

(58:53):
person that boos other teams because I'm kind of in
the sports world myself, and it's just kind of seems childish,
but fans do what they want, so booing is a
part of sports in general. But it was, you know,
the next week after Talladega, it was like a light
switch and it was like whoa, Wow, we're you know, like,
Holy shouldn't ask for this, and and so now it's

(59:15):
they're making noise.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
You know.

Speaker 4 (59:16):
I've always been told and I've read things, is when
they stop making noise is when it's worse.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
So and Steve shout out to Robin hood y'all made
investments for financial literacy programs at Howard.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
Right, Yeah, are you gonna do that?

Speaker 2 (59:28):
PCU.

Speaker 24 (59:28):
Yeah, we're twelve universities and expanding. Yeah, wow, all across
the country.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Why are the important for Robin Hood.

Speaker 24 (59:35):
I think it's important because you want to make sure
that people at the at a very young age, start
to understand how to do it responsibly and suitably. Everything
shows that if you know just the power of compounding alone,
you start a young age, you know you're.

Speaker 4 (59:47):
Gonna you're gonna benefit at an older age.

Speaker 24 (59:50):
I'm one of those annoying fathers who has three twenty
some year old daughters and and I pound on them.

from somebody that knows somebody to detail.

Speaker 13 (01:00:28):

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
She'd be having the latest on you. That's the law
is the latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you

Speaker 4 (01:00:40):
It's the latest the breakfast club.

Speaker 13 (01:00:42):
Talk to me, okay.

Speaker 20 (01:00:44):
So I want to send a rest in peace to
Al Kilmer and his family, sending them some love. So
the actor passed away Tuesday of pneumonia in la according
to his daughter. For those of you guys who may
not know him, I know, I feel like by name,
some people don't know about Kilmer, but he should by face.

Speaker 13 (01:01:01):
He's huge actor. He was in Top Gun, he was in.

Speaker 20 (01:01:04):
Batman Forever, and he actually had went through a whole
throat cancer battle that he came up on the other
side of and it recovered from it, and then pneumonia.

Speaker 13 (01:01:13):
Hit and he passed away.

Speaker 20 (01:01:14):
So I just wanted to take some time to send,
you know, a rest in peace to him and some
love to his family.

Speaker 13 (01:01:19):
Yes, sixty five years old, which is young.

Speaker 20 (01:01:23):
Now changing gears here, Kanye West. Y'all know Kanye get
on X and do his thing. So a fan was
tweeting about J Cole and posted J Cole's verse that
he did on Johnny Peace Caddy with Bennita Butcher, and
he was basically saying that J Cole spare Kendrick by
not getting into the whole battle. Oh God, so insert
Kanye West or Yay. He responded and said, I hate

(01:01:46):
J Cole music so much. It's like between Kendrick and
J Cole. I bet you industry plans act J Cole
to dish Drake. Then we would have been accosted with
a J Cole super Bowl commercial with no Scissor song
to save it.

Speaker 13 (01:01:57):
No one listens to J Cole after losing everyge ny Oh.

Speaker 20 (01:02:01):
When I met up with Drake during Donda, most of
the convo was me telling him he was hurting hip
hop by giving J Cole platform, and I was saying
how much I loved Future.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Uh.

Speaker 20 (01:02:12):
Then Yay continues on exasay, how I hate Drake and
I'm teen Drake at the same time.

Speaker 13 (01:02:17):
Life is funny like that.

Speaker 20 (01:02:18):
It's like the weird thing where I feel closest to
Drake and anybody in rap.

Speaker 13 (01:02:24):
He just had a I.

Speaker 6 (01:02:25):
Don't even understand like what he's talking about, what he's saying.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
I don't think he understands.

Speaker 5 (01:02:30):
No, I don't get it. And honestly, all he doing
is helping Cole sell out Dreamville, like.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
Like, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:02:39):
And also the fact that I'll be there too so
they can get their tickets because I'm being rally at
the Mprime.

Speaker 5 (01:02:43):
But go ahead, oh you there that we can we're
taking the Dreamville.

Speaker 13 (01:02:48):
Okay, yes, all right, we're gonna talk.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
I hate that whole j Cole would have washed Kendrick
if he would have stayed in the battle narrative too.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
No, he wouldn't have. Know, he wouldn't have.

Speaker 20 (01:02:59):
Yeah, yeah, I don't got cold for doing that either.
And I will say who says that anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Just whatever that people say that tweet.

Speaker 13 (01:03:10):
Just said that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
But no, people a lot of stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:03:13):
People have said that people that dropped out of that battle,
that he would have won.

Speaker 20 (01:03:19):
If unthrapeutic, unhealed, cold, stayed in the battle before he
got his consciousness, that he came back on the stage
with people think that he would have won over Kendrick.

Speaker 5 (01:03:29):
I never seen that, Okay, nowhere.

Speaker 20 (01:03:33):
Also to I feel like Kanye gets online and he
tweets things that make absolutely no sense, and the people
take it, run with run with it, like the other
day he had tweeted that jay Z owned his or
not tweeted. He talked about with academics that jay Z
owned his masters. So he gets on these platforms and
says things people that don't make any sense, and people
believe it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
That's not true, completely not true. Yeah, jay Z does
not own Kanye West catalog at all. And I look up, right,
I don't know if you can look it up. It's
not easy to look up. But I heard it from
a very reliable source.

Speaker 13 (01:04:01):
Yeah, from a very reliable source that it's not true.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
It don't matter who that is.

Speaker 25 (01:04:14):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
And I know Kanye just asked the question. You just said,
how much money you think jay Z makes off my catalog?
Rusus would I make off it?

Speaker 4 (01:04:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
People ran with the whole You know jay owns Kanye catalog,
But that's not true. Kanye just playing the victim and
looking for sympathy per use.

Speaker 20 (01:04:30):
And I did Google who owns Kanye West Masters? And
according to Google right now and if this isn't correct,
it's Google, not me. Kanye West's massive recordings, at least
for his earlier albums, are owned by Universal Music Group,
which is which owns Def Jim Recordings where he was
signed for most of his career. However, he has since
completed his contract with just Dev Jim and it's free
to pursue music deals elsewhere, according to Google, so.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Easily music contract. But I don't know who owns the
masters though.

Speaker 20 (01:04:54):
It says Kanye West master master recordings.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Yeah, I can tell you that much.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
That's crazy.

Speaker 13 (01:05:00):
Well, thank you for debunking that story. Unk, appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
Kanye went in on academics basement.

Speaker 13 (01:05:10):
No, no, no, they weren't in the basement.

Speaker 20 (01:05:11):
Academics flew to LA I think about hotels, like a hotel,
and then they were like outside of somewhere. But yeah,
he flew to LA but it didn't matter. Academics honestly
didn't have to be there. He could have just sent
the camera because Kanye was talking about what.

Speaker 6 (01:05:23):
He didn't even have to add. Yeah, because he didn't
ask him anything. Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:05:28):
Well, I want to get into the Young Scooter, but
I'm nervous. Sid We're not gonna have no time, but
they could try.

Speaker 8 (01:05:32):
So.

Speaker 20 (01:05:33):
Yesterday police actually arrested a woman in relation to the
Young Scooter uh death. So the nine one one all
your call that we talked about in here. Police basically
found that this call. The call was real, like it
was actually made, but what was reported on the call
was fake. So there was a thirty There's a thirty
one year old girl. Her name is Demetria Spence. She
was taken into custody by Atlanta police yesterday for making

(01:05:55):
the false nine one one call that resulted in the
death of young Scooter because police only showed up there
because of this phone call, so he was swatted. Now.
Dimitrius Spence is the woman from the zous Batty show
that went on Instagram Live prior to this when police
said that they were looking for the nom on one
caller to explain You're like, why would she do that?

Speaker 5 (01:06:14):
Dumb man?

Speaker 20 (01:06:15):
To explain her part of the story because people were
giving her so much hell because of him Scooter's pass.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Give me that I could.

Speaker 13 (01:06:25):
Well, let's take a listen to what she said.

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
There's a reaction for every every action.

Speaker 26 (01:06:30):
This is part A. You guys didn't have Part A.
You guys only have part B and the narrative.

Speaker 5 (01:06:36):
It looks like I.

Speaker 26 (01:06:37):
Was trying to set this bed up because you guys
don't have part B.

Speaker 5 (01:06:40):
Of giving you Part B of giving you what led
up to the call.

Speaker 26 (01:06:44):
I was physically abused, so I called to protect myself.
That's the that's the issue. I never had any intentions
to get anybody hurt. And our cave here to say
the truth. That's it, that's all. I don't want no cloud.
At the other day, I would be and I was
physically abused multiple times.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
I'm so confused.

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
What are you confused? No, I really am a got this.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
So she got abused.

Speaker 7 (01:07:13):
She said she got abused in the past before, and
I guess this was her way of allegedly getting on it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
So she was saying the.

Speaker 7 (01:07:20):
Reason she did it was because she got abused, not
that she was getting abused in that moment in which
she was abused before, and that was her way of revenge.

Speaker 6 (01:07:28):
Go ahead, I know she is right now, right yeah,
So right now.

Speaker 13 (01:07:32):
She is in custody in Atlanta.

Speaker 20 (01:07:34):
And the charge actually that she is being that she's
facing is false transmitting a false public alarm and that's
under a certain law in Georgia. And this is what
you can be charged with if serious bodily harm or
death results from a response of a public safety agency.
So because the police came out, he uh scootered Young
Scooter fled from police where he got that leg injury

(01:07:57):
and then led to death.

Speaker 13 (01:08:00):
So yeah, she's gonna be facing some charges.

Speaker 20 (01:08:01):
And I will say, yesterday Young Thug and a few
other people were online talking about that Young Scooter was
actually shot and that they had there was an autopsy
that was released to confirmed that that was not true.
Atlanta police have come out with a fault in County
like the results of the autopsy that due mentioned the
puncturing of his leg after trying to hop what seemed
like a wooden fence or something like that, which resulted

(01:08:24):
in his death. So the police have been doing a
really good job of trying to clear things up and
keep things factual.

Speaker 13 (01:08:28):
And that Young Thug tweet was deleted.

Speaker 7 (01:08:30):
Okay, all right, Well that was the latest with Laurie
Charlamon who giving that donkey?

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
Two man?

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):

But you're so good at charlamage, charlamagne, damn chlom Man.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
Now donkey today for Wednesday, April second goes to Kevin
Hart Kevin Durant Heart that is okay. I'm gonna make
sure to say Duran or Kevin D because I don't
need y'all thinking this is our guy from Philly, Philly.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
No Kevin d.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Is a forty seven year old California man and yet
another reason why Noah only allowed animals on the arc.
I'm telling you right now, my anxiety, I'll never be
able to shake it off, okay. And it's because I
have to read the news every day. And when you
read the news, you come across stories like Kevin D
and the headline I saw this morning on Law and Crime.
I grabbed my intention, I grab my attention and was

(01:10:01):
imagined infidelity. Okay, that title peaked my curiosity and I'm like,
what's that imagine in fidelity? Is that when you dream
of cheating on your significant other? Is that a crime?

Speaker 17 (01:10:10):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
It's just like the movie Minority Report.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
Has there been a specialized force created that apprehends you
because they use Ford knowledge or they're using Ford knowledge
to grab you when you daydream about cheating? What is
imagined infidelity? Well, as soon as I read the article,
I instantly regretted it because it's just a reminder that
we live in a world that's simply out of our control.
I know you left your house every day in peace,

(01:10:34):
if you like me. You said your prayers this morning,
you read your daily affirmations, you meditated, you probably went
to therapy yesterday. You did all of that, and you
still can't control what other people do. And Kevin d
is yet another example of that. Let's go to KSBW
eight for the report.

Speaker 25 (01:10:51):
Police a seaside church community mourning the loss of one
of their own, sixty five year old Jackie Robinson.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
Police say she was by her daughter's boyfriend.

Speaker 25 (01:11:02):
Forty five year old Kevin Hart of Patterson Heart allegedly
beat her to death using a glass tabletop seaside. Police
said Heart was visiting the home and he allegedly killed
his girlfriend's mother. Police say Heart then resisted arrest and
obstructed police.

Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
I promise you I read this story and I immediately
asked chat GPT how to avoid humans. He told me
stay home, limit social interactions, and employee strategies like avoiding
eye contact and wearing headphones to signal this interest.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
I would love to stay home. I'm a cancer, I'm
a natural homebody.

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
If I could be in the house quarantined every day,
I promise you I would. And when folks asked me,
what's the pandemic? What am I quarantining for? My answer
would be people home old sapiens. Okay, this man, Kevin
d killed his girlfriend's mother because he thought his girlfriend
was cheating on him. Well, what the hell the mother
got to do with this? I am so sick of

(01:12:00):
people projecting their hurt on the others. You mad at
your girlfriend because you think she cheated on you, And if.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
She did cheat on you, so what.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
I don't know if this woman was cheating on you
or not, but I will never understand the logical men
throwing their lives away for women Honestly, I.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Think that's gay.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
You can't tell me you like a woman so much
that you would do something that would take you away
from all women forever. You claim to like women so much,
but you doing things that's gonna land you in a
prison surrounded by penises don't add up to me. And
I'm just sick of people who make decisions solely based
on emotions that leads to poor judgment and regret. Okay,
you gotta take a breath and consider potential consequences before

(01:12:38):
you make choices like this. You killed your girlfriend's mom
because you thought she was cheating on you, a suspicion
with no basis in reality. There is no justification for
this murder, even if you knew she was cheating on you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
But this is just what you thought.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Beat this woman with your bare hands and a piece
of glass from the table. Let me tell you something, Kevin,
If your girlfriend, for whatever reason, wasn't feeling you anymore,
guess what she was correct, and that poor young lady
is gonna have to live with the regret of her
poor choice and a man for the rest of her
natural born life. This poor woman's mother was the president
of the Senior usher board in the church Man. Her

(01:13:18):
obituary says she had a very kind and loving heart
with a smile that made anyone who came into her
presence feel loved. And you killed her, Kevin, because you
thought her daughter cheated on you imagined infidelity. Kevin is
facing twenty six years to life in prison. He was
convicted by a jury on Friday a first degree murder

(01:13:38):
and I pray he gets forever, Okay, forever in prison.
You are named after the wrong comedian, sir, because you
have caused the pain that nobody could ever laugh at.
Please let rem mab give Kevin Durant Hart the biggest
he of he.

Speaker 5 (01:13:54):
Ha, he ha, you stupid mother, Are you dumb?

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
You're telling me not? Don't make you want to stay
in the house.

Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
Hell yeah, I ain't know it.

Speaker 6 (01:14:03):
Another Kevin. I'm thinking choc would drop of Kevin Hard.
That is saying, That is super saying.

Speaker 7 (01:14:10):
All right, all right, well thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now,
when we come back, we have Reverend Al Sharpton joining us.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Reverend now will be here.

Speaker 4 (01:14:20):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (01:14:20):
We're gonna kick it with revernd now when we come back.
So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
Good morning morning.

Speaker 7 (01:14:25):
Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 7 (01:14:30):
Layla Rosa feeling in for jests and we got a
special guest in the building.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Yes, indeed have Reverend Al Sharpton. Welcome back rap, Thank
you glad to be here. How you feeling. I'm good,
I'm real good. You guys work out in this morning?
You know every morning seven days. I got to get
up and do it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
The last time I seen you rever now, we were
coming back from DC. We want to play together.

Speaker 7 (01:14:48):
This is right after Kamala Harris lost, very upsetting. What
do you think about the new presidency and what he's
doing and all the things that that is affecting our communities?

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
What's your thoughts?

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
I mean, of all, the only surprise I have is
that everybody's surprised. He said he was going to do
everything he's doing terrorists, that he was coming after a
DEI diversity, equity and inclusion. He said that he was
going to go after his enemies or those that he

(01:15:19):
felt were opposed to him. So I don't know what
the shock is and I don't understand where all of
the people that were saying they didn't see the difference
between Trump and the Democrats, how they have gotten longitis
now and have not come back out and said because
none of what he's doing, what the Democrats doing Now,
nobody has been more challenging to the Democrats than I

(01:15:39):
have all my life. But you can't act like that
was the same thing. He has done a direct affront
on black people and working people and no apologies. I mean,
when you take down black servicemen's pitches under the Department
of Defense's website, including Jackie Robinson together, you can't be

(01:16:01):
more intentionally offensive than that. So I think that the
bad side is what he's doing. The good size is
I think it's gonna I think it's gonna wake a
lot of us up. Sometimes we need something to happen
for us to understand what is really happening.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
But when you're dealing with point disenfranchised people, how do
you tell them that, you know, if they're already living
in hell?

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
How do you tell them things are going to get hotter?
Because they get hotter.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
I mean, but you're already in hell, but you in hell,
But it's the heat is up in hell. And the
fact is we in hell. Economically. Trump is now saying
I'm gonna make it worse. I'm going to use Social
Security money, Medicare money. You had that in hell, I'm
gonna use that to balance the budget and pay for
my billionaires to get a tax cut. So when we

(01:16:48):
tell ourselves it can't get worse, it can't get worse.
When Trump say I'm gonna bring back stopping frisk, which
we all Nashal action never was part of helping get down,
that means you're gonna get thrown up against the wall again.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
When Trump says is that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
I'm going to deal with getting rid of all of
these sentencing rules that can help you get out of jail.
So there's a big difference in doing two years and
doing twenty. So, yeah, you in hell, and you are
now the fires in hell is being turned up. And
to tell yourself to try to rationalize your inactivity does
not make you smart because a lot of brothers and

(01:17:22):
sisters saying that to me, well, we're doing bad anyway.
That's trying to rationalize that you were not trying to
do better. To say that a man with thirty four
felony convictions found guilty of sexual harassment is better than
a woman who did everything right. Lawyer, attorney general, senator
went to Howard and to give that example to your kids,

(01:17:45):
that I'll go to Felon because he got swagger is
to make us appear like we're not serious.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
I don't think that's a big comperison though. The reason
I say that is because I don't think the vice president.
You know, of course you didn't run a perfect campaign.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Who does. But I think that she suffered.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
From being a part of the Democratic brand as opposed
to her. It wasn't the fact that they chose to
Donald Trump over her. They chose Donald Trump over Democrats.
Because I feel like it was the same thing in
twenty twenty you had to fight to convince people to
vote for Joe Biden. It was definitely the same thing
in twenty sixteen you had to fight people to convince
for Hillary Clinton. Only the last time Democrats have been
cool in the eyes of the people that have been
oweight and O twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
But then why to Biden when the reason I don't
accept that Biden won.

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
A series of extraordinary circumstances.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
I mean, George Covid, you don't think it was extraordinary. No, no, no,
George Floyd and COVID happened. Yeah, and so did thirty
four felaty. We saw that this is the only time
we seen American history man stand up in court having
to defend himself and attacking black prosecutors. He went after
Alvin Bragg, he went after Tis Jen And the fact

(01:18:49):
is that that Donald Trump was the president when George
Floyd happened.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
I did.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
George Floud's funerals led the big margin. We could not
get a peep out of.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
The White House.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
So that don't watch with me when you're standing there
saying this man was president during COVID and told y'all
to drink.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
Bleach was president when George Floyd.

Speaker 1 (01:19:09):
And never opened his mouth other than one time walked
across the street from the White House to the church
and held the Bible upside down and reprimanded the protesters.

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
We all got amnesia in two years.

Speaker 13 (01:19:21):
That's what happened, though.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
Your nigga's crazy that you know you look at Trump right,
like him, love him, hate him, whatever. The fact that
he gets.

Speaker 7 (01:19:27):
In office and he actually shows the power that we
thought other presidents should have had, especially Democrats, like, I mean,
the first day he gets on stage, he gets a pended,
he signing the executive orders, left it right. I mean
his guys that's getting that has twenty years and just
in prisoned ten years in prison, parties them immediately. And
then you look at some of our Democratic presidents and
you'd be like, man, they could have helped so many
people for good. It just never did. Just was cowardly

(01:19:50):
and didn't. So how does that give the people confidence?

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
It doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
And that's why guys like me that would come to
the Democrats and ask them to pardon people and didn't
can be disappointed and say I went to Biden and
asks for certain partners that we couldn't get part of
the sun, but I couldn't get him the part of
Jesse Jackson's son, and and and who should have been
part and and others we went there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
How does that make you feel as much as you gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Be like, I'm not getting everything I want, but I'm
certainly not gonna go on the other side.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
So we need to then put the right kind of
leadership there. You don't. You don't if you're on a team,
if the.

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
Quarterback or the or the tacklers can't work. You get
better team players, you don't join the other team. So
that's what I'm saying. There's a difference in the frustration.
Some of us are shown and and some of you expressed,
and then those that went and joined the other team,
they went and supported Trump like that was an alternative.
The alternative to having a head cold is not suicide.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
So how do you look at Eric Adams?

Speaker 20 (01:20:51):
I was about to say, you decided whether you back
it away from Eric Adams?

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
Adams, Yeah, how do I do what? Look at mayor
Eric Adams? Look Eric and I go away.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
When I started the National Action Network, he was one
of the founders where he is now. I think that
he has made some positions that I disagree with, and
I've told him that whether he made a deal with
Trump or not, I don't know. But I know that
there's some things in policing and all we've disagreed. Some
things are that we agree with. Oh, but I think
that he's in a very peculiar political position. I don't

(01:21:22):
know how you can get re elected.

Speaker 20 (01:21:24):
So because before the conversation is that you are having
a conversation about whether you're going to back him as
mayor or not again, so you have made a decision
not to.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
I don't know that he's running yet, as he said
he's running.

Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
He has.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
He said he has to Thursday to say if he's
running again.

Speaker 13 (01:21:38):
But if he does, say right now, do you know
what you would do?

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Call me Thursday night.

Speaker 20 (01:21:42):
I really call you for that because I think for me,
I'm looking at it because I definitely will. I'm looking
at it because you've been so vocal about him and
now you're vocally like, I don't know what I'm going
to do.

Speaker 13 (01:21:54):
What do you want him to do?

Speaker 17 (01:21:55):
Like?

Speaker 13 (01:21:55):
What do you expect?

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
You want him to continue to fight for the things
that I supported them are, like the right kind of
policing in our community, like being fair to people that
are getting cut out of jobs in the City of
New York, like standing up to Trump on a lot
of this stuff that he is agreeing with Trump on.
I do not agree that we should put the Haitians

(01:22:19):
and people of color in a category that they can
be picked up by ice just because of what they
look like.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
That is racial profile. I wanted to do those things.
We have more with Reverend al Sharpton when we come back.
Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.

Speaker 7 (01:22:34):
Everybody's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 7 (01:22:39):
Lona Roasters here as well, and we're still kicking it
with Al Sharfton. Now, I got a question, what did
you How did you feel? You know, I've seen the
press go at you and go to a lot of
the people at Kamala Harris's campaign gave money to during
the campaign, So what was your thoughts on that?

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
I expected that. I thought they was late.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Kamala Harris gave some civil rights groups money to help
get the vote out non partisant signed a contract with
us that we could not in any way endorse candidate,
so that they were protected.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
We were protecting.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
Nobody ever asked did you have a contract. I think
she gave several groups a couple million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
She gave National Action. There were five hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
And the tour we took, I took Central Part five,
two of them all over the country cost us more
than that. We had to raise more money, so I
expected them to do that. And my thing is, fine,
we can bring the contract. Let's go to court, because
then I'm gonna ask you about all the money the
Republicans was given some of these Christian Conservative churches and
these groups.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
They gonna take a shot. They are not going to
mess with you unless you messing with them.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
Isn't it interesting You got some of the people that
you referred to that got some of that money doing
the George Floyd. They ain't talking about them, They ain't
prosecuting them. They're going after other people. I'm talking about
people that did crazy stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
With that money.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
None of them have you heard, got a problem. But
they're still beating up on us.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
And I want to ask you to I know that
you know y'all driven a lot more traffic to Costco
because Costco is somebody who stood by their DEI initiatives.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
What is Costco doing for the move we want? God?
Well they do.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
I don't want to do nothing for me personally, They've
never donated to nothing, But I want them to open
up some Costco stores where we can own some of
those stores. We can franchise some of those stores. We
want to see we went to say we're gonna do
a buy cut. We go in there and buy because
they stood up for us, But now do business with us.
I don't want again for us to always be the

(01:24:35):
receivers of what is considered charity.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Give us parody.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
And you got the National Action Network with it's coming
up this week right starts Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
I know you're honoring miss Patty LaBelle and honored.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
Uh, we're going to have everybody from the governor of
Maryland west More who's the only black governor, to the
chair of the Democratic Party. We're gonna ask some hard questions.
We're gonna have Ben Crumper's coming with a a lot
of the cases that we affort. Uh, everybody's gonna be
the doctor maclay Dyson and it's four days week. Alcon
Bench will always have thousands cause it's free. And uh,

(01:25:10):
we even at Charlamagne the God there one.

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
Absolutely I'm gonna be there, one of them. You know
you're gonna be there because of her.

Speaker 8 (01:25:17):
He's no, you don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Be real clear. He's not coming out of respect to me.

Speaker 4 (01:25:24):
That is not.

Speaker 1 (01:25:26):
With Yeah, and the bell made it clear, Charlamagne of
God is sitting with me. I'm not sitting with you, Reverend.
I said, okay, but.

Speaker 2 (01:25:34):
They told me what it was. I'm like, oh, absolutely,
I'll be there. Yeah, he's been there for our youth
and all that he's done that.

Speaker 20 (01:25:39):
How did you when when asap Rocky was going through
all of the stuff that he was going through in
court and you tweeted out about the black jurors that
the lack thereof how do you decide when things like
that come across your desk what you put, like put
your your name on.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
Well, first, the first law I use is that I
don't ever get involved in some unless somebody involve action.
When he was in jail, his mother came to me,
and that's why I stood up for him. Then Trump
helped get him back. I give Trump credit for that. Oh,
when he was over over there so that I knew him.

(01:26:13):
So when he's on trial this time and somebody in
his legal team called me and said that you know,
it's an all white pool that they're choosing from, I
said that's wrong. He said, would you come out of here?
I said, I don't have to come out. I can tweet,
and I tweeted. I wouldn't have done that without the
legal team because I wouldn't have known what their legal
strategy was. Anytime you see me out there, it's cause

(01:26:35):
some of the family. Members of the legal team have
called us, I don't chase ambulance people. You know people, oh,
the ambulance chasers. No, we ain't ambulance chasers. We responded
to the calls.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
I like to study movements that were successful, and you know,
those movements were successful on so many different levels. What
should this generation be learning from that civil rights movement
in the sixties and what wasn't done in that movement
that should be done now.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
What they should learn is if the objective you should
judge people by the objective, you cannot in any way
gauge people by your objectives, gauge them by theirs. And
the objective was they wanted to break down apartheide segregation
and change.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
The laws on voting.

Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
They did that sixty five voting Rights at sixty four
Civil Rights Act.

Speaker 4 (01:27:21):
They did that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
So what King and them were after they did that,
then they wanted to build economic.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
Basis Jesse and they did that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
They were able to break in the first blacks to
get on boards and the first blacks that would own
a lot of franchises, and Reggie Lewis and all of them.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
They did that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
What we did not do is institutionalize those things. So
from generation to generation that continued and then we build
our own businesses.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
We could say what we want.

Speaker 1 (01:27:48):
I've been a different school of thought than the nation
is lone. But Elijah Mohammad built business. Any community you win,
and that's not there no more. So what we've got
to now perfect is how do you pass it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
On in your lane? And you know, people come to me.
I'd like to be the next guy in national actionally,
but you got to be about what we're about.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
If something happened to the pope, you don't get a
Baptist to be the new pope, you get a Catholic.
So if you not in what we believe in, you
cannot be in that. But if you in that, we
need to continue that. And that's what we're not done.
We've seen too many just go all political and get
out of the economic. You can't afford to be political
if you don't have money.

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
So even with what this administration is doing, you know,
rolling back a lot of things that have helped black
people move forward, we can still build those institutions doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
Then he can't make us spend money they want. He
cannot do that. And if you put the right pressure
on in corporations. They can make him turn around. Why
is he talking about tariffs and all that? And now
it's all economic. He is a business man. Donald Trump
has never held office in life. He went in there
from business. And that's why I say we've got to

(01:28:57):
have an economic strategy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (01:29:00):

Speaker 26 (01:30:37):
Now.

Speaker 20 (01:30:37):
There is this report going around on the internet on
the blogs that one O six in Park is coming back.

Speaker 13 (01:30:44):
And at the first it's not you.

Speaker 4 (01:30:50):
I mean, it did come out on April fools, guys.

Speaker 13 (01:30:53):
I really feel like I saw before that, but maybe so.

Speaker 20 (01:30:55):
But okay, so this report is just it started circulating
on x and now it's making his way over to Instagram.
And the report is that it's coming back and that
the first episode is actually set to air or to
tape in a few weeks from now actually, But we've
reached out to some sources who would know who tell
us that this is completely not true. The report was
that Keiki Palmer and Kay san Not would host the

(01:31:15):
new version of One of six Park.

Speaker 13 (01:31:17):
Which would actually be kind of like that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
That would be dope.

Speaker 13 (01:31:20):
Yes, have time for that?

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
I don't think so, but got the budget for that? No,
does anybody watch videos like that anymore? So what would
you do?

Speaker 6 (01:31:29):
That's the thing though, That's why you bring it back,
because I just was saying it the other day. Yo,
I feel like we've gotten away from that music video era,
but that's what we need.

Speaker 5 (01:31:39):
Ain't not wrong with watching them. I feel like people
don't make them anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
They don't have they don't they don't have a place
for us to go to watch it all. Yesterday when
you were showing me, Drake, but it.

Speaker 6 (01:31:54):
Was like it was like a replica of not like
us squabble up music video and the Super Bowl Have
Time performance Kendrick.

Speaker 5 (01:31:59):
That was I feel like Drake was was trolling Kendrick.

Speaker 10 (01:32:04):
Like that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
I watched it on YouTube. But if they had a
place for me probably to watch them all that one time.

Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
I would that would be cool with some dope posts
like his Kai's entertaining. So it was key key key
won't find time for a job. That's that's one thing
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
But why would you wait to see a video? Because
before you had to wait because it was no other
place to see the videos. Now I don't have to wait.
I could just go right to YouTube or the persons whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:32:22):
But it's not really all about the music videos because
remember one of six and Park.

Speaker 6 (01:32:25):
They only played about twenty seconds of the video anyway,
But it was more so about like the topics and
everything and the guests that they would bring on and
performances and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:32:33):
Wine fiery, y'all remember that.

Speaker 15 (01:32:36):
Day for real?

Speaker 25 (01:32:38):
Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 20 (01:32:40):
Think that would have been dope, my big ahead, No,
I was saying, I think one O six in Park
and just the nostalgia of the brand, I think people
would tune in. They would have to find a way
to keep it like fresh, new and fast. But to
your point about the Drake Nokia music video, that music
video has been like news wise, it's breaking records right
now for it was like most watched, most trended or
something like that on YouTube over the weekend, something like that.
We're having a conversation about whether he's trolling Kendrick Lamar

(01:33:02):
or not. But imagine if you had a show dedicated
to just breaking down exactly like y'all just did bo.

Speaker 6 (01:33:08):
I mean we do it here so there at the
Directors Club. But like you said, yes, that's like strictly
for music videos. That would somebody else that would be dope.

Speaker 5 (01:33:16):
To would be great on the as like the like
the Fun and Pretty V would like kill that that
would be dope.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
Stop bacting like Drake fell off like Drake. Yes he's
still Drake.

Speaker 20 (01:33:30):
I know he's still Drake, but I think people just
because of everything, people will point out don't even remember.
Make sure that it was stuff differently right, Yes, don't
get us in trouble again. Sorry Drake, But yeah, I
thought that I enjoyed the video. But yes, we were
told that that is not true. There is no one
in six one o six of Park returning with Kaana
and Kiki Palmer.

Speaker 13 (01:33:47):
So sorry to shut your dreams down.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
I don't want to put that out there. I'm so growing.
I ain't even.

Speaker 20 (01:33:55):
Yesterday that yeah, I didn't even realize it was to
So in other news, so Denise Richards actress Anise Richards.
She is now opening up and talking about when Charlie Sheen,
who was her ex who she shares two kids with,
came out on the Today Show at the time with
Matt Lower and talked about the fact that he was
HIV positive.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Come on, man, the first time you heard that?

Speaker 10 (01:34:17):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
I hope he told her first before he went on TV.

Speaker 13 (01:34:19):
That's exactly what we're about to talk about.

Speaker 20 (01:34:21):
She says that she was upset because she didn't let
she didn't let him know that, let them know, let
her know that he was going to be sharing it
publicly before he went on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
So she knew, but she didn't know he was going
public with it.

Speaker 20 (01:34:34):
Yeah, she didn't know that he was going public with
Let me clarify that. Yeah, yeah, because you asked me
that and I'm like, wait, hold on, but yes, she
didn't know that he was going to go public with it.
So she said she was on the Wine Down with
Jana Kramer and she was asked if because you know,
Charlie Sheen has some very controversial, you know what I mean,

(01:34:54):
past stories, and she said a little bit of a
time herself, and she was asked, did you ever have
to sit you kids down and have a conversation with
them about anything before it hit the internet, like any
past stuff or even when they were growing up? And
she says no because de niece of Richard said no
because their daughters are not ones to google them like,
they don't care about that type of stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:35:12):
But she did say that when.

Speaker 20 (01:35:14):
Charlie Sheen sat down with Matt Lower, she was upset because,
you know, he went on and talked about this publicly.
But she felt like she understood why he had to
because at that time the taboys had already been talking
about it. They were accusing him of basically like endangering
other people's lives, so he wanted to go and clear
it up. So she understood, but she just wished that
dad had like some sort of conversation because of their
two daughters. And then because of that, she then had

(01:35:37):
to go pick the daughters up from school because she
didn't want anybody in the school to say anything to them.
Sit their daughters down and have a conversation with their
daughters about what their dad had just revealed on the
show and kind of explained to them what it was,
and she said, you know, they didn't really understand it.
They didn't really get it then, but she did have
to have that conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
I don't feel like that that hurt Charlie Sheen in
any way though, because I mean, the only thing I
remember from that era is winning, winning. Remember everybody was
screaming winning, winning. I don't remember Peopil's low key.

Speaker 20 (01:36:06):
I feel like all of his controversy, like people talk
about it as if it's like a like a notch
on a belt, Like they don't.

Speaker 13 (01:36:11):
It doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
It doesn't like a because of.

Speaker 3 (01:36:14):
The stigma, you know what I mean, Like the stigma
of HIV has been pretty much a race for a
long time.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
Anyway.

Speaker 20 (01:36:20):
Yeah, like that not I mean like that, like they
talk about him like, oh my god, he just had
this big, grand fun, crazy life, but they don't.

Speaker 13 (01:36:26):
I don't.

Speaker 20 (01:36:27):
Even if people talk negatively about him, it doesn't affect
him in my hand.

Speaker 2 (01:36:31):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:36:32):
I remember seeing a video that went viral from a
Charlie Shane interview and the lady would interviewed him in
his house and she was like, are there any drugs
in the house, And he was like, if there are
you need to find them and give them to me immediately.

Speaker 5 (01:36:42):
He is hilarious, y'all.

Speaker 13 (01:36:44):
Yeah, he's looked at It's.

Speaker 3 (01:36:45):
Like the rock start and just you know, I guess
that's what it was, the life he lived. It's like, yeah,
got HIV Okay, yeah, that's not about right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
It is the where you was living.

Speaker 5 (01:36:55):
Now, that sound about right?

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
At the plug the stigma hi be, Like I said,
it was pretty much gone, so nobody.

Speaker 20 (01:37:03):
Nobody could and he had said at the time when
he came out about it that he had been diagnosed
four years prior. But he again, he was talking about
it because then tabloids grabbed it, so he wanted to
have conversations and clear up some of the things that
were being said in the stigmas around it.

Speaker 7 (01:37:15):
So people were still scared back then when he got yeah,
because it was it was only one person known to
beat it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
But other than that, we people it was fifteen. What
did they be talking about this morning? Back then? I
