Speaker 1 (03:57):
What's up to me? Good morning and he Josh Lamae,
how y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Good morning girl, Good morning?
Speaker 8 (04:04):
All right, well, we begin this morning with breaking news
out of Providence, Rhode Island, where a mass shooting on
the campus of Brown University has taken a major turn overnight.
Speaker 9 (04:13):
So here's what we know so far.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Authorities say two students were killed and nine others were
injured Saturday afternoon when a gunman opened fire inside the
engineering building, and the shooting happened just after four pm
as students were on campus studying four final exams, and
terrified students were seen running from gunfire while others barricaded
themselves inside of classrooms. Of Police say dozens of officers
(04:36):
they rushed to the scene, escorting students to safety and
locking down the campus for hours now. Initially, authorities say
they had detained a person of interest and that individual
was taken into custody early Sunday morning at a hotel
about twenty miles from campus, and officials said two weapons
were recovered. But late Sunday night, investigators announced a dramatic
(04:57):
shift in the case. At a press conference that began
just before eleven pm, Rhode Island and Providence officials said
they are releasing the person of interest and resuming their
search for a suspect, acknowledging the investigation is now essentially
starting over.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
Let's listen, Certainly, there was some degree of evidence that
pointed to this individual, but that evidence needed to be
corroborated and confirmed, and over the last twenty four hours
leading into a just very very recently, that evidence now
points in a different direction. So what that means is
that this person of interest needs to be it should
(05:34):
be released. I think what is really unfortunate that this
person's name was leaked to the public. It's hard to
put that back in the bottom. Okay, So we're going
to proceed very carefully here. There is too much at
stake for the victims of this horrific crime and their
families to take chances with respect to this.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Investigation.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Wow, now thor yeah, in authorities. They say that there
is no indication of an immediate threat to the public,
but they emphasized that the investigation remains active in ongoing. Meanwhile,
students in staff they are still processing what happened. A
Joseph Adoorro, a teaching assistant, says he was leading an
economic study session when he heard screaming and gunfire. He
(06:23):
describes the moment the gunman walked into the room. Let's
listen to that.
Speaker 11 (06:28):
We heard commotion outside the door of what sounded like
students screaming, and got like the sound of gunshots. Around
five seconds or so later, we see a gunman walking
on the left hand side he entered the room. I
was standing in the front, so as soon as he
walked in, he immediately saw me, and I immediately saw him.
Then I looked to my right and I see a
(06:49):
bunch of students running down the stairs, running out the door,
jumping on the ground, just whatever whatever it takes to
sail out. The gun was so big among that I
genuine thought like, Okay, this is the under the road
for me. I texted my parents, Oh my goodness, he's
in the room. God, I'm so scared.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Hey, not the damn thing we can say this morning
that we haven't already said in regards to mass shootings,
like America needs commistance gun laws, and we will never
get any commatants gun laws as long as these gun lobbyists,
you know, have these politicians in their pockets. We know
it's too many guns in America, too many high powered
guns in America, but nothing is ever going to change
in this country. It's just not Yeah. I hate to
be the Debbie down.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I wish I could say something that could change that,
but you're absolutely right, and there's nothing that's gonna change that.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Instead of saying as American as apple pie, we should
say as American as mass shootings.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I wouldn't want to say that, but it's the truth.
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
UH officials say they do not have any new images
of that suspect beyond a short video that was released
a Saturday showing a person walking away from the area.
They are asking the public for any information to come
forward as they continue their.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
Search for suspect.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
In Brown University, they've canceled all remaining classes final exams,
probably for the semester, citing concern for the safety and
well being of their students' safety and their staff and faculty.
And as you guys mentioned, you know America. This shooting, though,
this mass shooting problem is taking place overseas as we
continue the violence. It was not limited just to the US.
(08:18):
This weekend was marked by a mass shooting even in Australia.
Authorities there say at least fifteen people were killed forty
others were injured at a mass shooting at Bondai Beach
in Sydney, which is apparently one of the most well
known and heavily visited spaces in the country. Police say
the attack it happened during a gathering marking the first
(08:38):
night of Hanukkah. Officials have described it as a terrorist
attack designed to target Jewish people. The investigators say the
suspect they were a father and son duo, ages fifty
and twenty four years old. They shot and killed an
older man at the sea. The police shot and killed
the older man at the scene that the younger suspect.
He was taken into custody with critical injuries and remains hospitalized.
Speaker 12 (09:01):
Now.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Authority say those weapons that they use they were legally
obtained and they're now reviewing how they were able to
get those fire arms and how they were using.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The attacked and the victims.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
They range in age from twelve to eighty seven years old.
Among those killed a rabbi which he was a father
of five, a twelve year old girl, and a Holocaust survivor.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So and Australia has some of the strictest gun laws.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
In the world.
Speaker 13 (09:26):
They do.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yes, So this just proves when someone makes up their
mind to do some bs, they gonna go do some bs.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Yeah, yes, yes, they're now looking into how to make
those even stricter Charlamagne, But yes they do.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well that's good. At least they're looking to make them scripted.
We don't even do that in this country. We just
keep it moving like nothing is ever going to change
in America because nobody has any interest in changing it.
Like these mass shootings are just the casualty of direct
to bed arms to some people.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, but the problem is is you know, as a
father or as a student, you think the safest place
for you is school, right. You think it's college, it's
a university, it's a school. You'll be safe there. You
with other kids, just trying to learn, just trying to
make it to the next level. And then when you
go to school you have an incident like this happened.
And I'm not talking about the Australia incident and talking
about the other one. But and it's not like it's
not like you say, I send my kid to a
private school. That happens to a private school. You can't
(10:09):
say I send my kid to HBCU. It's happening at HBCU.
So it's it's so.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Goddamn scared, right, But even think about it in Australia
that happened at a beach. Yeah, just you know what
I mean, You're just going to have a good head
at the beach and then what.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Yeah Jesus, all right, crazy, all right, y'all.

Speaker 4 (14:55):

Speaker 14 (14:55):

Speaker 7 (14:59):
Man, all right, up.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And up early listening to us on the app HO

Speaker 7 (15:05):
Brother?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
If your chest?
Speaker 15 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (15:08):
You know what with this gun thing and everything that's
going on, honestly, like I have, I'm a legal gun
owner and I don't even need the guns that I got.
So Charlotte's right and everybody's right on this. They need
to do something, you know, to get stuff under control
a little bit. Might want to like, you know, check
(15:29):
people's mental health, datus. It's some things like that before
they'd be giving all these guns out. Because I don't
think everybody needs like a hundred guns. I think that's ridiculous.
You know, a couple of guns to protect your family
or something. I totally understand.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, I'm with you, Sonny.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Not only that, I mean you are a legal gun owner,
so you know you have to put down a couple
of names of people who are supposed to say that
you're you're cool to have a gun. I always want
to if they actually call those individuals and really really
ask them your history is, you know, because you got
to put down with three people that is not your
family members to see if you if you should be
able to have a gun, if your mental is allowed
to have a gun. And I always wonder if they
(16:08):
actually call those people, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 15 (16:10):
No, I wanted that too exactly or whatever.
Speaker 14 (16:12):
And they should do that. Matter of fact, they should
probably do more than.
Speaker 15 (16:15):
That, just to kind of look in your background.
Speaker 14 (16:18):
And just see, you know, are you have you done
a bunch of crazy ish to people, you know, and
stuff like that you shouldn't be having.
Speaker 15 (16:25):
You know, no guns.
Speaker 14 (16:26):
I mean you even go hurt somebody with a knife
or something. Anyway, you don't even need a gun.
Speaker 12 (16:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Listen, I'm too a all day. Would I agree with you?
We definitely need universal background check checks that cover with
like all gun sales, you know, from online purchases, the
gun shows, you know, just to prevent crazy people from
grabbing guns.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, cause the great thing is, like to purchase a gun,
you just got to be of age of twenty one,
never had a violent felony, and you need three people.
I think it's two or three people that can vouch
for you to say that you're okay to have.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
A rect address like you can't. It's in New Jersey.
It's very hard to purchase fire them. And I'm two
a all day. By the way, Yes, but I do
believe in commentson's gun laws.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
one five. When we got the latest with Lauren coming.

Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons over the weekend. But I
spoke to a source close and I'm going to clear

p's and q that's right, okay.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
Full out every day. She was five six seven eight,
all right, six seven.
Speaker 16 (18:02):
Well, first, before we get into the hour, I did
want to shout out everybody who came out over the
weekend to the Power Sessions, the concert that we did.
Hear New York sold out concert. We had such a
great time. Lola Brook performed, Seddie Wills. Eddie Will had
them girls going crazy in there, gee Herbo, Marida, Scientists,
Cash Coo Bain. So just wanted to shout them out,
shout out everybody who came through. And we were live
(18:23):
on The Breakfast Club's Twitch account so you can go
watch the behind the scenes as much as the show
as we could get and we're also posting clips to socials,
So you know, did want to take that little moment
for us because we was sold out.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Did you show people were doing cocaine behind the scenes?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 16 (18:35):
I left the cocaine off, you know, I leave that off,
and I'll let people know I'm like to when I
walk up.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
You know, our respect the people in our privacy.
Speaker 16 (18:42):
Well, speaking of people, Russell Simmons and komor Lee Simmons
are at it again right down. So, Komoralie Simmons has
been promoting her reality show that is on E currently
and she spoke to People magazine exclusively and in the interview,
she says that she doesn't really have a relationship with
the fathers of her children. She then goes on to say,
(19:03):
usually I would say that our co parent, okay, but
the kids are with me full time. I'm pretty much
your primary parent. It's difficult, but I don't know. Sometimes
with other people are thinking guys are weird. She says
she's thankful for her family and people that you know,
help her. If I wasn't this person, I don't know
if we would have made it or if we would
be okay. It's been very important to me to be strong,
self reliant and constantly be growing. So of course this
(19:26):
picked up because she shares children with Russell Simmons, Mingle,
who is twenty five, and Aoki Lee, who is twenty three.
She also has other children. She has a son named
Kenzo who's sixteen with actor Didyall. I'm gonn Messa's name up?
Did Jimon han Nusu you're talking about? Yes, and a
son Whooflee, who is ten, and and she has, you know,
(19:46):
a child that she adopted who was sixteen, and a
bonus son who's nineteen, so her kids are older.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The actor that you this name, I haven't seen him
in a long time. I haven't seen him in no movies.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Have y'all seen him?
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Well?
Speaker 16 (20:00):
He was sentenced to two years in prison earlier this
year after pleading guilty to bribery money laundering charges.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
So if you were leather for him, that's where he be.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's the reason why.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (20:09):
But you know, this picked up in the news of course,
because everyone knows, or we thought we knew, the relationship
with her and Russell Simmons, and we've seen some of
that kind of play out over the years as they've
been through different things. But Russell Simmons actually responded to
this in a thread and he said, I gave you
fifty thousand dollars a month for twenty years. I was
your best slash only friend. The Godfather to your three kids,
(20:31):
to your other three kids, until one day you stole
my stock. I have been fighting for my kids, love
and my bread ever since you threatened that if I
sued you, I would never speak to my kids again.
There are two sides to every story.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh, we need to correct something. Tim Leisner is one
of comorally Simon's baby daddy's. He's the one that's in
prison for two years, not the actor that you're talking
about at the brother.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I'm positive. I just looked it up because I was like,
that didn't sound right now. I'm like, we just put
that brother in jail? What Tim Tim Leisner.
Speaker 16 (21:03):
I'll go back and look at that what the People
article mentioned, because I got this from the People article.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But get Laurence A. You already got one. The sacrifice
one we got to know, me want corporate and we
need to sacrifice one. That one we don't want to.
But that was crazy.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Okay, I'll come back with that corrected.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think you need to look now before even finish
the story. I'm telling you right now, if you just
put somebody in jail, I was that person's people, I'll
be like, oh, you're.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Correct, You're correct. I'm sorry, yes, let me correct that.
Speaker 16 (21:35):
So she says that son Kenzo, who's sixteen with actor
DoD Jaman Hanusu, and son Wolf, who was ten with
former investment banker Tim Leisner, who was sentence to two
years in prison earlier this year after pleading guilty to
bribery and money money laundering charges. Sorry, his name isn't
pronounce did youmon? I'm sorry because I can't pronounce your
(21:55):
name in business is like the Pokemon just say, I
don't think that's correct either, But yes, yes, correcting that now,
apologies for that, but yes. So Russell Simmons responded on
his own because you know, people were picking this up
as if he's just, you know, this absentee father, and
he's saying that that is not true and that, you know,
(22:16):
the only reason why there has been an issue. He's
throwing it on Comora's side. Now, I spoke to a
close a source close to Komoro who says, whatever money
he's referencing has he has given her was court ordered
child support for almost a year. For almost over a
year or a decade ago. For almost over a decade ago,
It wasn't a gift. It's all public infos so it's
the actual amount and the number of years he paid,
(22:37):
both of which he was overstated.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
Anyone could do the research in the math.
Speaker 16 (22:41):
Now they're speaking to the threat of the you won't
see your kids if you sue me that they that
he alleged, and from what I'm told, she said that
this was erratic behavior that he was displaying because we
were seeing things back and forth with him and his daughter.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
You guys remember that, like the video and all that stuff.
Speaker 16 (22:57):
So she was talking about erratic behavior from what the
sources telling me, and alleged abuse, and what they said
to him, from what I'm told, is that because of this,
his family would eli alienate from him and his friends.
And the source claims this is what happens. And the
source also claims no one is keeping anyone from anyone.
His daughters are grown adults, twenty five and twenty three
years old. One of them has actually been to Bali,
(23:19):
and I'm told that Komorley Simmons has had to go
no contact with him and it's been that way for
five years or more.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
So that's what I was ready to say.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
I was really make the point of like them girls grown,
you know, so I'm not gonna say it can't be
comor keeping them, but you know what I mean, they grown,
They do what they want, you know what I mean,
now they're not young.
Speaker 16 (23:37):
Yeah, I'm just confused by at this point, like because
the kids are so much older, Like why haven't they
kind of figured it out where like they could just
not even have to mention each other or you know
what I mean. Like I mean, I guess they always
come up in each other's past because of how big
the relationship was.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
But I was just like, again, she has reality showing them.
I'm sure they asked her about it. But the thing is,
it's like, you know, every family is different, Like you know,
sometimes something about a kid or bother father, bother child
and they just got to get it together. We've all
been in situations where you ain't talk to your moms
or talk to your child in a week or so
because they mad about something. I've been there with Logan.
Me and Logan is the best of friends, but sometimes
(24:11):
he says some hard headed issue. We won't speak for
a little bit, but it is what it is saying
with my parents at the time, I ain't want to
speak to my mom and pops for a little bit.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
Yeah, but that doesn't spill over onto the internet. And
because these kids are older, you got to I mean,
they live in their own lives now. All this always
will come back to them, That's what I'm saying. I
think I thought that at least at this point, because
they seem like they were there were friends at one point.
Then they were doing the businesses together. Than the whole
Selsia stock thing happens. So here we are now what you.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
See, uh you see wonder I don't know, I don't
even know the daughter's names, but you see one of
them in Bali, Yeah, with Russell. I've seen pictures of
them this year.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It's the family. It's family dynamic and some things that
shouldn't be put online and they are. But yeah, that's
the family dynamic.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
We shouldn't even know nothing about none of this.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
No, I'm with you with you.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
But they lived their life on TV, you know up
to a point before.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Yeah, that'.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
On the show because I used to watch the show.
And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
On that show that my friends they were younger when
it's happened, but they did have like a reality show.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
They did well.
Speaker 16 (25:09):
She has another one now that it's currently out there,
actually almost to the finale season of the show. It's
on E and it's called Kamora Back in the Fab Lane.
It comes on at ten o'clock on E.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
But congratulations on her new reality show.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
That's crazy that nobody talking about the show on the
list because I didn't hear anything about the show.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
That's what she's at promoting.
Speaker 16 (25:26):
That's why she's been in the news so much or
the media so much, because she's all promoting this show
and people are asking her about things, you know, in
her life and all the stuff that we're we're wor
seeing playouts. So in the next hour, we'll be talking
about speaking of family, we'll be talking about some things
that you could do for your family during the holidays.
Are your coworkers because Taylor Swift is dropping the money
and holiday bonuses?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
All right, we'll get to that next. Everybody else we
got front Page News will break down what's going on
in the news world. NCI will be joining us, So
don't go anywhere as to Breakfast Club. Good Morning, Everybody's
DJ NV, Jess Hilarius, Charlamage, the guy we all to
breakfast club. Let's get back in some front page news.
I sat off with some sports now yesterday the Chiefs
have been sent home after eleven years, eleven years straight,
(26:09):
they made it to the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Well not this year.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Mahomes toys ACL too. I believe, yeah, he saw something.
What do you tell you right here?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Something something he was helped off the field was ACL Jaguars.
Jaguars beat the Jets, The Commanders beat the Giants, The
Bills beat the Patriots, the Texas beat the Cardinals, Seahawks
beat the Colts, forty nine Ers beat the Titans, the
Vikings beat the Cowboys, Broncos beat the Packers, Rams beat
the Lions. Jaguars, I said, the Jaguars beat the Jets.
And the Monday Night Football, Yo, No, no, the Ravens
(26:38):
beat the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
You didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I meant to say that. I meant to say that.
I didn't know they was Raven fans in the building.
I meant to say that. I'm sorry. All right Now
Monday Night Football, the Dolphins take on the tail As
at eight fifteen.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
What's up to me?
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Good morning, NB, Josh all the main, how y'all doing this?
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
All right, So we started this hour with the key
deadline coming up this Friday, when the Justice depart is
required to turn over the remaining Jeffrey Epstein files to Congress. Now,
under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Justice Department must
release its remaining records by December nineteenth. On Friday, last Friday,
House Democrats they released new photos of the Epstein estate
(27:17):
showing President Donald Trump alongside other high profile figures including
Bill Clinton, Stephen Bannon, and Bill Gates, among others. Now,
those images they are part of a much larger collection
of about ninety five thousand photos obtained by the House
Oversight Committee. Now, none of the individuals shown in those
photos have been accused of any wrongdoing, but the DOJ
(27:38):
deadline is just days away, and public perception is now
very front and center. A new Reuters ipso's poll found
that only about sixteen percent of Americans believed Trump didn't
know about the Epstein's his alleged crimes, while roughly sixty
percent believe he likely knew something. Even among Republicans opinions,
they're very divided.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Now.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
When acts about the photos, Trump downplayed their significance in
the Oval office. Let's listen to what he had to say.
Speaker 19 (28:05):
I haven't seen it, but I mean everybody knew this
man who was all over upon beach, his photos with everybody.
Speaker 18 (28:10):
I mean almost there are hundreds and hundreds of people
that have photos with him.
Speaker 15 (28:14):
So that's no big pope I know nothing about.
Speaker 20 (28:17):
So.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Congressman Robert Garcia, he's a top Democrat on the Oversight Committee.
He said that the committee has reviewed roughly about twenty
five thousand photos of the ninety five thousand that they
have so far. He said it's going to take weeks
or even maybe even months to review some of those
photos and properly redact some of those images. Republicans, meanwhile,
they are accusing Democrats of chasing headlines and a statement.
(28:40):
They said Democrats are releasing a handful of selectively censored
and cherry picked photos. But with that Friday deadline now approaching,
the issue will remain front and center as lawmakers, the public,
and even both parties they wait to see what additional
information will be released next.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Lord have mercy. That just means they come in with
something crazy to discract this week. Okay, brace yourselfs people.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Right, that's very very true.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Jesus Christ Yeah, very very true. And now to another story.
We've been following the inmate who was the last inmate
who was captured after that dramatic escape from a New
Orleans jail, Derek Groves. Now he escaped earlier this year.
He sparked that massive man hunt. He's now been sentenced
in connection with a deadly shooting that happened during Marti
(29:24):
Gras back in twenty eighteen. So a judge sentence grows
to two life sentences plus two additional fifty year sentences
for the killings of twenty six year old Jamar Robinson
and twenty one year old Byron Jackson. Now, prosecutors say this,
this crime, it left a deep scar in the ninth
ward and he spoke directly about Groves during the sentencing.
Speaker 19 (29:47):
Let's listen, Derek Groves is a sociopath. As Groves is
getting sentenced, he's laughing, he's making faces at the victims family,
he's trying to talk to his family. I mean, this
is just a truly about human being.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
And that's the sad part, right because I ended up
saying that on social media, and it was people in
the comments.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Time about like free him, free him.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
You know, after they even announced that he had killed
two people back in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
That's what he was originally locked up for.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
But it was so many people rallying family to be
free in the comments.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah he's free, it's free him and tell you know
he out killing somebody that you love.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yes, stupid exactly.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
So even with this sentence, though the case is still
not fully over. He still faces separate charges related to
that jail escape, which should be he should.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
Be sentenced for that in May and.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Then he can get there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
that we waste the taxpayers.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
We got a taxpayer Money're absolutely right. But he also
apparently has two open manslaughter cases that are also still pending.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yea, so did you say he got after life yo?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
But that's what I pretty much always feel like the
justice system might know something that we don't know, Like
you might die, wake up back in prison again, die
wake up back in prison. Aget I told you you
got two life sentences. Okay, that means reincarnation too.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Plus fifty years plus two fifty years since sometime those
life sentences.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
What if you're dying wake.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Up in a zoom as a cat. Well, they don't
have cats in the zoo. What are you be keeping
in the zoo? Polar bits, I'm just saying that's jail.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
So that is happening in May. And those manslaughter charges,
we're not sure when that's happening, but that that jel
escape sentencing will be happening in May, so we'll follow
that when that happens. And after a heavy start to
the morning, let's shift gears just a little bit to
something a little lighter. Something a lot of people are
quietly dealing with around the holidays, reconsidering old relationships now.
(31:42):
Relationships experts say this is a time of year where
it has people doing a lot of reflecting, something about December,
the lights going up, the year winding down. The sense
of transition makes people start looking backwards, and that's that's
often when old names start popping back up on those phones.
People say that they are hearing from excess former situationships
(32:02):
or someone who ghosted them months ago, with a low
key check in like a hope you're doing well, thinking
of you or a happy Holidays text, And so for
the person on the receiving end those messages, they say
that they can land very differently curiosity for some confusion
for others, or a quick reminder of why the relationship
didn't work in the first place. But experts say these
(32:23):
holiday messages they aren't always about rekindling. Sometimes it's just
about what's familiar. Sometimes it's timing, and sometimes just to
see if the door is still open. So as Christmas
gets closer, those messages tend to pick up, according to experts.
So here's the question this morning, you guys, So is
a holiday check in from an ex? Is that a
(32:43):
red flag? Or is that just harmless holiday cheer?
Speaker 6 (32:46):
That literally just means it's the holidays.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
It's lonely, and I'm a call of person that I
already got history with the coming spending night, I mean
new Yeah, ain't nobody wearing a butt after the New year.
Ain't nobody about to worry about that. It's just we
wind down. Nobody wants to be alone on Christmas, and
instead of going to find somebody new, you gonna call
somebody who already has three, whether it's toxic or not.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
But after the New Year, you ain't go ahead from them.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Listen, man, I just want to remind y'all that there
are sixteen days left and this year, twenty twenty five
is the year to snake. Okay, so you got sixteen
days left to shed anything that no longer supports your
well being. Okay, that includes exus all right in the Texas?
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Yep, absolutely, I agree, ch'alla main. So that is what
is coming around. Apparently within the next sixteen days, someone
maybe getting those texts, so watch out for those.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
Well, all right, y'all. That is your front page news.

ce man. You know what I'm saying, Like even like
you know people, Man, do you Understan and this is
where it started?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
He's like, Man, I don't care where it started about
what I like, but you have is on what he likes.
That's cool, but he just got to remember where they
started from, where Jays got his from, where these people.
Speaker 18 (38:15):
I think what we what we failed to realize is
in the age of Internet, people are just not careful
with what they say anymore. And Uh, I think that's
something that people of our generation just got to get
used to.
Speaker 16 (38:26):
Twenty one was talking about that on the Big Bank
Interview the Internet, and he actually brought you up. He
said that during your era, y'all didn't have to really
deal with the Internet trying to tell people who y'all
were and just like saying crazy things. So it's a
little different for people.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
Now.
Speaker 18 (38:39):
See, it wasn't the internet we had, you know, Wendy
Will Charlamagne and you know what I'm saying telling us,
you know what I'm saying, we had, We had our
set of challenges, you know, our share of you know,
our share.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Of obstacles to overcome. Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
It's just it's just.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Like the success of that.
Speaker 18 (38:55):
People seeing how successful you can become doing that, it
made everybody say that to me taking a step further,
I say, I say this, you know what I mean,
and they just they forget about all these all the
people stop getting hitting the face, you see, I'm saying, like,
people stop.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Getting hit in the face.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Like you can't hit the way you get them to
hit him.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
At man, you catch people everywhere. Man, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (39:22):
We all sharing this big ball of dirt together. You
never know where you kiss somebody?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Man, you like, oh Dad, go shout it right there.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 18 (39:30):
And I think that's okay. I think we should normalize
getting hit in the face again because I'm not shooting
you know what I.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Mean, No shooting, no killing him, just bow because that's what.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
I watch your mouth. I respect it more when a
person says whatever they want to say to the person,
and if the person gets hitting the face, they're still
staying on with.
Speaker 18 (39:46):
That, right, because you get hitting the face and you
still say it.
Speaker 13 (39:52):
Still I don't care.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
You hit hard, but still, hey.

And then you got on.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
The whole story. So yeah, listen, come, my wife is
going through. I stepped out and I was hurt, and
your brother over there, Charlamare was like, you hurt, you
should call up live on the radio and apologize. And
I was at my lowest moment and I thought my
brother was picking me up, so I did it.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I didn't really know what was going on.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Now, you didn't understand that.
Speaker 18 (42:19):
You understand thinking ratings, Yeah, that man was thinking business
were like, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Know what you should live on. I didn't have nothing
to say, you know, but sorry, So I'm trying to
just say words. Charlamage behind me, like, oh you got
this broke? Yeah, yeah, like a friend, like a friend,
like a friend.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
At what point did you realize comedy wasn't just a
side question for you with something you wanted to take seriously?
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Yeah, we gotta say we got to drop a bomb
for him, because at one time they do this for comedy,
they thought it was gonna be like a little hobby
that you did for a couple of months and then
get out of it. But yeah, I gotta thank the
haters for that.
Speaker 18 (42:59):
Becau I under sleep would not him taking it so seriously.
You know what I'm saying that people weren't telling me
how much they didn't want me to do it.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (43:08):
I'm really I'm real hard headed, strecking my way like that,
you know what I'm saying. It's kind of like it
kind of it put me in the mind of the
King of the South moment, you know what I mean.
You know when I came out, I was saying King
of the South, and you know, it was just something
I said in the rhyme.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
You know what I'm saying. I was really just popping it.
Speaker 18 (43:22):
And you know, people out up and on, Oh you can't,
you can't, you can't the hell I can't. You know,
I felt the need to defend my right to to
portray it and also to justify my reason for saying it.
And that's the same way I feel I felt with comedy.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
That was another conversation that came up recently was on
on Manny and Juvenile's podcast with DC. I think it
was DC Chico all the calls was there, but it
was the Mount Rushmore the South, what about it? I
don't think you can have it without you being on it.
But I appreciate that, man, I really do.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Man. You see, prison has taught me some things.
Speaker 18 (44:00):
It just taught me that it's just so many more
important things.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Than just stuff about other people's opinion.
Speaker 18 (44:06):
And I'm happy to just even be here, be alive,
be free, let alone, be successful and still relevant and
still having your name mentioned amongst the greats.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
Brou but that that that just ain't important to me,
and I got to be on that for me.
Speaker 18 (44:22):
Yeah, Scarface is all around, you know, top five to me,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
And Outcast, yeah, three thousand as well.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
That's where it get difficult when you start talking about
the groups, because they definitely, Yeah.
Speaker 18 (44:33):
I think outcare. I think outcasts should occupy one spot.
I think you know what I'm saying. I think outcast.
I feel the same about Goodie Mob. You know what
I'm saying. I feel like they and Wu Tang you
know what I'm saying, and my deep you know what
I mean. I feel like the groups, the iconic groups,
they should occupy one spot.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
You dig what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (44:53):
But it's so many dope individuals that came out in
the in the era that that you know, we grew
up in and so many dope individuals is coming out now,
So do you mix the two?
Speaker 16 (45:07):
And it's like how you talk about it too, like
how you talk about it too, because like Gucci Geez,
people will argue like do you put both of those
on the.
Speaker 9 (45:16):
But that's it's like different conversations of like.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Who they can't say you don't get that, you know
when you have the Mount Rushmore. To me, it's the
person who laid the foundation for whatever it is you
do when you talk about trap music.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yes, and on a Mount Rushmore, I didn't say that.
See how you see how she did?
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Yeah, that would that? That would that, that would the investigator.
You say you was out there, You say you was
out there at around what time?
Speaker 7 (45:45):
You say? You say who? You say?
Speaker 3 (45:47):
You say charlamage with you? What you said you had
a bag? And what what what was in the bag?
Speaker 7 (45:52):
Nah?
Speaker 17 (45:52):
For real?
Speaker 3 (45:53):
But now I ain't saying that.
Speaker 18 (45:54):
What I said was he said that you don't get
you don't get Gucci and Jesus with that's it.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
I think you you still got them.
Speaker 18 (46:01):
I don't know if it would have been as kind
of consolidated and you know what I'm saying, and if
it would have been received the same things, you feel
what I'm saying. Uh, but you still get them, and
they still cause they had their own story.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
They story didn't come from me. Their story came from them.
Speaker 18 (46:17):
I think the way the rest of the world outside
of our city received their story, you know, became a
little more acceptable because it had already been a door
that was open.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
You did a big dog, don't boys in the trap man.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (46:33):
See.
Speaker 3 (46:33):
I try to keep away from being self gratuitous.
Speaker 18 (46:35):
You know what I'm saying. I try to you know
what I'm saying. I mean because as big as trap
music here right now, you know what I'm saying, I
didn't do that by myself.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
You know what I'm saying. It's songs that I probably
wouldn't have never made. You did. And and it's other people.
Speaker 18 (46:48):
That have stories and have tastes in their beat selection,
in their cadences, you know, in their uh, their their
their collaborations with other artists that just pushed trap music.
That's taking it from where I where I brought it
to and expanded it and you know, and diversified it
and so it has evolved to a place right now
(47:09):
where I couldn't imagined it being.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
So I can't take credit for the whole thing.
Speaker 18 (47:13):
I just I'm just happy that I was able to
plan a seed for something that grew to be what
it is today.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
You laid the foundation when it comes to comedy, right,
A lot of people chase it for validation. What were
you chasing when you first stepped on stead therapy?
Speaker 3 (47:28):
Mm? Yeah, therapy?
Speaker 18 (47:29):
Man. You know what I'm saying, I was going through
I was going through some I was going through a
a I don't not just a difficult.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
Time, but a time that I wasn't used to. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (47:39):
I was being like, I don't have things said about
me that I never imagine having said in public about
me before.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
And people were like really like serious about it.
Speaker 18 (47:49):
You know what I'm saying, And that was something I
I You know that that weighed on me.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
You know what I'm saying for a while.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
You know, you get no apology. Nobody ever says you
know what.
Speaker 18 (47:58):
I don't home them mean, they keep the same energy,
keep on pushing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Cool?
Speaker 18 (48:04):
You know that's a great way to exit my life.
I love it, you know what I mean. I need
to make room for the new.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
And the most difficult part about it, right, it was
the most difficult part not seeing those individuals, hearing friends
and family talk about it, or your kids. What was
the most difficult times.
Speaker 18 (48:20):
I think the most difficult part about it was, you know,
I've experienced tragedy, I guess for the most part on
my own, you know what I'm saying, Like, well, I
had to go through it by myself, and when you're
going through somebody yourself, you know, of course it's difficult,
the lonely part of being by yourself, but it's also
easier because you only have to worry about.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
What you do with how you feel and what you
think and what you know what I'm saying. So experiencing
it as a family was different for me.
Speaker 18 (48:49):
You feel me because that's the kind of thing that
I always felt like, you know, I bear the brunt
of all that for them, You feel me, So, you
know what I'm saying, That was that was the difficult part.
But I think outside of that, bro it was just
man like, you know, I've I've I poured a lot
of myself, my time for energy, attention and to present
(49:11):
myself as a man of respect, you know what I'm saying,
as a provider, protector, as a you know what I'm saying,
as someone who can be held in high regard in
the community, as a certain type of person.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
And so for that to be like like yeah.
Speaker 18 (49:25):
Yeah, yeah, I call that what we say, you know
what I'm saying, I'm like, oh, man, for real, yo,
that's wild. So, you know, and then I had to
remind myself that, you know, it's more important things out
there than other people's opinion. You know, my truth would
never would never, huh step down so their fantasy can live, absolutely,
you know what I mean. So but but but comedy
(49:48):
helped me, you know what I'm saying, take it a
lot less serious.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
And kept me from controlling on the internet.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
I was arguing with what was we arguing about with TI?
Because you know, I always say t I needed.
Speaker 9 (49:59):
Versus King of the South just so people can be it.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
Was because I don't I think there's a generation that
either forgets or doesn't realize how big t I the
Rapper was.
Speaker 9 (50:14):
Marco plus it was, yeah, he said, was the King
of the South.
Speaker 16 (50:19):
And Paul and you know, Charlamae goes off about t
I I.
Speaker 18 (50:25):
Wish, I wish, thank you, thank you, but I wish
I care. I'd be trying to make myself care and
I can't. Man, I just know it's so many more
important things. Bro, I don't care.
Speaker 12 (50:34):
Man.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
What I did is done. You hear me? It done.
Speaker 16 (50:38):
It was like he was standing on his business about
j Cole in the conversation. By the end he was like, well,
you know what, I am from Atlanta and this and I.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
That at and a rapper and don't know how his.
Speaker 9 (50:49):
TI was like, but also his age as well too.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
At the same time.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
Man, but he said you were his favorite rapper, which
didn't make no sense to me. Was one of my
favorite rabbers.
Speaker 18 (50:58):
Okay, so but but so people will probably they they
as they consume J Cole probably is what he has
been consuming the most as of recent So you know
what I'm saying, that's what you what you are consuming
presently is what's gonna have the most impact.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
On your decisions, on your opinions. So that probably what
that is.
Speaker 18 (51:18):
It ain't you know, and both it ain't got to
be wrong, you know. If that's if that's who the
King of the South feel to him and enjoy that kingdom.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Yeah, but even levels of celebrity, right, number one movie
and number one album at the same goddamn time.
Speaker 3 (51:31):
I mean, bro, come on, man, that's different. God has
been good to me. You feel what I'm saying. God
has been good to me.
Speaker 18 (51:40):
Man, I'm still cold as on the mic and I
still but and and to be honest with you, I'm
just because I don't wanna, don't I don't want to
negate any of these facts.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
Can't nobody with me. I'm gonna just let you know that.
Speaker 18 (51:53):
Now you understand going to boot for anybody walk out

don't give it that who you got, bring them on.
They can't with me live performance, can't with me hit
for hit. You just can't with me, you know what
I mean? That might be somebody that certain people like better.
That's your opinion, okay, But bottom line, you can't with me.
(52:16):
And anybody think anybody who thinks you know what I'm
saying that that that what I'm saying is line me
up with whoever you got. I don't give a damn
who it is? Help the bear.

Speaker 18 (53:05):
You know, being home it's gonna take you way farther
than being arrogant.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
But let the facts be known that it can't nobody
with me.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
You've got a couple more questions. It's a holiday season, right,
and everybody know you got that back.

That's what we need.
Speaker 7 (53:25):
The powers.
Speaker 3 (53:25):
You know what I'm saying, We need the powers like that.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
You've been getting it for a long time when people
reach out to you, right, so I know you got
to be selective. Is a story I always hear about
you that I think is an amazing story. But I
just wonder what made you do it? When Michael Vick
reached out to you, and he reached out to you,
and they said, he just he just you know, you
called him just to check in.
Speaker 18 (53:46):
Nah, he was just getting that that day.
Speaker 7 (53:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:50):
Yeah, so I would hear I hear him. You know
what I'm saying, see what was up with him?
Speaker 18 (53:54):
The part of the story that's more interesting with what
they don't realize here. That would to day, I would
turning myself in. Yeah, I would turning myself in that day.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
Uh.
Speaker 18 (54:07):
And so yeah, I you know, he was coming out,

hitting him just to see what was up, how you
were doing? And this is funny. It's a it's a
comedian in the Jihai Mafia that he had his name
fat Man dz it fun in here. But he got
a joke like, you know what I'm saying, just say hello,

I'm going through by trying to help somebody else, you

Speaker 1 (57:03):
It should be.
Speaker 18 (57:04):
It should be done differently. You know what I'm saying.
You could say that something was one. You could say that,
you know it said that what they.
Speaker 13 (57:12):

Speaker 1 (57:37):
You won't catch hell with t I in the verses.
I'm just trying to tell y'all now, I don't care
who it is.
Speaker 3 (57:43):
I would love to see that man and t I.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Actually need the verses because y'all need to remind them, right,
y'all need to remind them the catalog of one clipp
of iris.
Speaker 15 (57:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (57:51):
One thing t I did say in that interview is
he said he heard that jay Z and Lil Wayne
were going to do a versus. So I wonder how
that is. I just wonder how accurate that is if
he heard it, he heard it from somebody.
Speaker 1 (58:02):
I'd rather see t I versus A little way, jay
Z versus No.
Speaker 6 (58:06):
Make a lot more point.
Speaker 1 (58:07):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 3 (58:08):
I don't even think j would get on that stage.
I just don't see like that doesn't seem like something
Jay would do.
Speaker 9 (58:12):
Well, I just wrote the question down, So errors, right, question?
Speaker 6 (58:16):
Two different airs?
Speaker 7 (58:17):
Are there?
Speaker 6 (58:17):
Is there verses?
Speaker 1 (58:18):
For real? It's two different errors. No, no, no, I
mean lou Waye been around in nineteen ninety seven. I
don't think people would maybe just so young, there's been
a lot of different variations A little way.
Speaker 7 (58:31):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (58:32):
Okay, all right, well let's get to the latest. Lauren
be coming the street fast man. She gets them somebody
that knows somebody, she gets to detail.
Speaker 9 (58:41):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 1 (58:44):
She'd be having the latest on this.
Speaker 7 (58:47):
The latest with Lauren la Rossa.
Speaker 1 (58:49):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 7 (58:52):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 16 (58:57):
Okay, guys. So Taylor Swift she did some gifting and
this is something that she does. She's done before. She
did it a few years ago. But she gifted her
team reportedly over one hundred and ninety seven million dollars
and holiday bonuses.
Speaker 3 (59:10):
One hundred and ninety seven million.
Speaker 16 (59:12):
Yeah, So this is the team that works on her
errors tours. So it's a big team. So this goes
from everybody that contributed to the Coulture so production staff, assistance,
the carpenters, dancers, band members. So she released a clip
on Friday from a documentary series that she does. It's
called The End of an Era and this was the
second episode and she is recording as she's giving out
the bonuses.
Speaker 9 (59:31):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 12 (59:32):
Bonus Day is so important because setting a precedent with
the Eras tour is really important to me because people
who work on the road, if the tour gross is more,
they get more of a bonus. And these people just
work so hard and they are the best at what
they do. So every single person on the crew, I've
hand written them a note. It took me a couple
of weeks, but it's fun to write the notes. It's
(59:53):
like fun to think about everybody's lives that they're going
to go back to in the time off they're going
to have, and the you know, the kids they haven't
seen because they've been away from months and making that
worthwhile for them. It feels like Christmas morning when you
finally get to say thank you. Everybody has the same
message on their card, so I was hoping you could
open it.
Speaker 7 (01:00:09):
My full gratitude doesn't come from a thing. But here's wow.
Now just the same things. Loved it.
Speaker 16 (01:00:24):
Out because he was talking about the money number. So
let's be clear how much get Okay, so I don't.
They bleeped it out, so we don't know exactly. But
back okay, So the air tour has been happening for
a few years, right, So this is a different leg
of the tour. So on August of twenty twenty three,
she wrapped the first North American leg of the tour,
and back then people confirm People magazine that she had
(01:00:46):
given out more than fifty five million dollars in bonuses.
And now this is the second leg of this tour.
And this doesn't even just include the people I mentioned.
It also includes like the people who are during wardrobe,
the physical therapists, even the truck drivers who are driving
things around for like production of the sets.
Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
If there's one hundred people on this tour, she gave
out a one point nine million in each person.
Speaker 16 (01:01:05):
There's way more than one hundred people, is what I'm
trying to tell you. Towards a huge production, and it's
been over the different legs and over the amount of years.
Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Basically the toy seening expectations. They made more money than
they thought they would make sure eving people bonuses. That's
a beautiful thing.
Speaker 9 (01:01:17):
Yeah, great, yeah, yeah, hired. He hadn't got a wedding.
Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
You never know, he's prepared up.
Speaker 6 (01:01:33):
He got a wedding.
Speaker 16 (01:01:34):
The page and I want to correct his name to Jamon.
Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Just had to come back and play football. This man
got ten kids. He had to come back and play football.
Anybody had time to be on the sidelines, okay, because
they got no jobs right right out there it is.
Speaker 9 (01:01:49):
It's very tough out there.
Speaker 16 (01:01:50):
But shout out to tell the Swift for taking care
of her people because a lot of those people get overlooked.
Now in other conversations about performances and shows, you guys know,
the Boy's Mind tour wrapped over the weekend that I
don't know what they gave out in bonuses, but I
was I'm bringing that in because Matthew knows that down
for a conversation, and in this conversation he talks about
(01:02:13):
being overlooked, and he says that he thinks he's overlooked
as you know, Beyonce's manager and Destiny Shop manager because
he's a black father.
Speaker 9 (01:02:20):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
Yonce was the number one female artist of the decade
from two thousand to two thousand and nine. Don't take
my word, just go research it. Guess who was the
number one female.
Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Group in the world.
Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
But the other part of that, if I was a
white manager, oh beause considered the number one manager ever.
Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
So I never get that respect. That's why.
Speaker 20 (01:02:48):
Why do you think that? Because or is it because
your daddy too? Your black fathers.
Speaker 7 (01:02:55):
They don't give a.
Speaker 20 (01:02:55):
Lot of father's credit, bro for what they've done, but
they gave him credit, I said, for a father and
being black. Because even if you look at Brandy's mother,
like we all know that she was the beast behind
the scenes.
Speaker 7 (01:03:09):
He never told me about mother.
Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and Insane manager was black.
Speaker 20 (01:03:17):
Yes, I don't know, Yeah, sure, I never know.
Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Like that, how you think Joe Jacksonville.
Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
I was literally about to see j Jessica Simpson's father.
Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Was talking about heard that.
Speaker 16 (01:03:33):
That was Heineken. That was the backfield guys. That was
the interview that they did. I didn't mention in the beginning. Apologies,
but I feel like Joe Jackson gets mentioned all the
time in a good way.
Speaker 9 (01:03:42):
But he still gets mentioned a good way.
Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Not for the success that it's always for being too stern,
too strict and all that.
Speaker 16 (01:03:49):
I mean, it's sad, but I mean, at least he's
being mentioned. It started making me think about people. What's
because like what.
Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
I mean, I'm I'm with you, I'm with you. I'm like,
I've always heard about Joe Jackson. We know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (01:04:03):
Myself, my personal ears have not always heard bad things
about him until the movie came.
Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
I mean, like he had them boys, like he's responsible.
Speaker 9 (01:04:12):
They were, how disciplined they are and how they're.
Speaker 6 (01:04:14):
Structured and everything.
Speaker 9 (01:04:16):
I get it, get it.
Speaker 6 (01:04:17):
But I've heard about things.
Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
I've heard good and bad things about John took their
childhood away.
Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
We that Matthew knows what he accomplished with Destiny's Child
is fantastic. But Joe Jackson gave us the Jackson five.
That was like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Tito Jackson. Yep,
God blessed death.
Speaker 16 (01:04:34):
But I also started thinking about other managers that don't
get mentioned that are just black, but black men and women.
Speaker 9 (01:04:40):
Because he mentioned Usher Usher's mama.
Speaker 16 (01:04:42):
She did like a whole series with own talking about
how she was so instrument on his career in the
beginning and just being one of the first people to
get like an office in a studio and a music
studio all in one. I feel like Mama Scott Young
doesn't get mentioned a lot too, with different artists that
she worked with, Missy Elliott, that's around.
Speaker 9 (01:04:58):
She works with Tyrege right now.
Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
She used to be a manager, Yes, Chris l it
was ll cool J.
Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
That she did. She started loving hip hop.
Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Yeah, but she knew.
Speaker 6 (01:05:13):
Yeah, that's what I know.
Speaker 16 (01:05:14):
But that's I feel like a lot of people know
her for that, but they don't connect the dots of
like the big music executive career.
Speaker 9 (01:05:20):
She had before coming.
Speaker 16 (01:05:21):
We do, y'all, but y'all are older, but y'all are
also entrenched in like entertainment was read.
Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
You know the content power session you look at the
bottom of you see your name on it.
Speaker 16 (01:05:29):
I know that but a lot of people don't shout
out to I think it's moaning me. Shout some moaning
me productions. I know that, but a lot of people don't.
They don't mention it when they bring her to me.
Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Entertainment, also to acting, like the manager role is a
role that gets a lot of credit period Like man
managers are usually the unsung heroes.
Speaker 16 (01:05:45):
Yeah, but now they're becoming more like. Scooter Broun is
a fan. A lot of people know his name.
Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
The school has done a lot of outside of management.
Speaker 16 (01:05:51):
Though, but still I mean, but still people know Scooter
Bron's name, and he's not an artist.
Speaker 9 (01:05:56):
He doesn't get on stage and performing.
Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Think about of that. Also, still think a lot of
that is inside baseball as well. You got a favorite person,
who the hell Scooter Bron is?
Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Probably?
Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
Yeah, I mean, I'm tired of being the one that
don't look like they don't know nothing. But yeah, I've
heard Scooter Broun, but don't know who he is exactly.
Speaker 16 (01:06:13):
Well, uh, they got some credit today. Shout out to
Matthew Knows and all the work he that he has
put in now in the next hour, because we didn't
get to it here and some of the things we
were talking about.
Speaker 9 (01:06:23):
Speaking of Brandy Monica. Ray j is standing on his.
Speaker 16 (01:06:27):
Rico claims against the Kardashians and he's blaming chat GPT,
So we will talk all about that.

What beautiful state?
Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Well, well, uh, South Carolina deserves a change. It's time
for a new beginning for South Carolina. We've seen some
crazy stuff happening in the state.
Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Uh we know.
Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
South Carolina has over six hundred unsolved murders just since
twenty twenty alone. We have the highest percentage of bridges
and disappear in the entire country. Our roads are the
top two worst than the entire country and most dangerous
in the entire country. But yet we have leaders in
South Carolina that want to look at other states and
look at other countries and talk trash about them, when
really South Carolina needs all the assistants that they can
(01:08:13):
get right about now. And we have a governor that
decided to send our National guardsmen to Washington d C
because Donald Trump told them to do. So, you know,
it's time for somebody who really wants to just focus
on the issues that are happened to every day South Carolinians.
Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
I mean, you know, talk about pause overachieve. I mean,
how do you have the time? I mean you talk
about you have a pilot license, your motorcycles light member
of five Beta Sigma, your professor, your business school and
a business school, bought a Benteredan College which is a HBCU.
There's so many things that you do.
Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
So black state representative, the represented district.
Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
Absolutely fluid the Spanish. So like, when do you have
the time.
Speaker 9 (01:08:47):
Why do you forget the University of Delaware?
Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
I haven't I didn't want to say that the University
of Delaware is Biden Award. Yes, we don't come in
on talking about but you're doing so much, So when
do you have the time?
Speaker 7 (01:09:00):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Man, listen, I'm blessed with a beautiful wife. Man who's
sitting in here in the studio with me right now,
a black woman. My wife, she's you know, very successful
in her own right. She's a pharmacists. Well so she's
a doctor. So I'm a doctor business administration. I've just
(01:09:21):
been a blessed individual to have the support of my
family to allow me to do the things that I
need to do. She's not not a selfish individual, so
she just supports me when I have to go out
here in the community and just make the changes I
need to make.
Speaker 9 (01:09:31):
Did you guys meet at Benedict So we.
Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
Went to college with Charleston. Shout out to college and Charleston.
Speaker 7 (01:09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
So I played basketball the College of Charleston, Uh, same
the same time that Stephen Curry was at Davison. And
let Steph know right now that we beat them. That's
why he ended up going to the NBA that year.
We put him out the tournament, you know. And I
was part of that team down there, a College of Charleston.
But that's where we met at UH and we've been
together since.
Speaker 16 (01:09:54):
I was gonna say, you were the second Democrat to
launch a campaign for governor. Talk to us about just
the feats and the things that are about to be
ahead of you, Like, what are.
Speaker 9 (01:10:04):
You nervous about? What are you excited about about them?
Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
History?
Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Well, I'm not I'm not really nervous about anything. The
people all across South Carolina, they want to see something different.
They've been excited ever since I decided to announce my
run for governor because they know I've been the one
who's been fighting on the but half for years now.
I think most of y'all probably saw that d I
speech that I did that has been seeing by over
about seven million people at this point. People all across
this country decided to reach out to me and say, Jermaine,
(01:10:29):
and we would love for you to run for higher office,
to do something. So the people South Carolina just ready
for something different. I will be the second black nominee
in the history of South Carolina. That is a that's
a big deal right now. And even if you know, boy,
even if I don't win, uh, some young boy or
some young girl will look at me and say, man,
I can now be that guy. I like, it's possible
(01:10:50):
I can grow up to be him when I you know,
when to get up there. So you know, I went
to seven different high schools. I had a you know,
I had a point a GPA my freshman year of
high school. I was home almost most of my upbringing.
I lived in motels. Yeah the point eight man, Yeah, Yeah,
I lived in motels. I lived in an Evergreen motel,
a travelodge in and all these different places and slept
(01:11:10):
on friends couches and things like that. But yet I
still was able to graduate, still was able to go
to college, still was able to get my doctors, still
was able to be a professional athlete.
Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
You know, a whole bunch of stuff, so kids know
it's possible. You know, you mentioned the highways in South Carolina.
Anybody that's been to South Carolina, you just see how
much is growing, right, Like, I mean, traffic is crazy
and chalk and traffic is crazy in places like Mounts Corner.
Does the state have the profit profit infrastructure to accommodate
the growing popular Heck no, man, And I know you've
seen it yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
Man, Listen, anybody who was driven between South Carolina and
North Carolina. You can literally see the line in the
road about how bad it is, like you can feel that,
you can feel how bad it is. And because people
are dying every single day, this is why our insurance
is so hot, Like car insurances continues to go up,
and it's partly because of how bad our infrastructure is.
And we're not truly addressing these issues. People are eyeing
(01:12:00):
every single day on these roads. Man, and until we
start to take this thing serious, you know, I don't
know what I don't know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
I was gonna ask, you know, you talk about the murders,
you talk about the roads. What's the first thing you
want to do when you get in office?
Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Well, the biggest thing I'm all about is mental health.
I traveled the state about a year and a half
ago with a bunch of former gang members Bloods and
Cribs and gds, and we went to different communities where
they felt disenfranchised, and we asked them, well, how can
we solve the issues in your communities? And these are
places that were not in my district. I went all
over the state and went about thirty different counties, and
every last county said mental health, every last one that
(01:12:36):
mental health, mental health.
Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Because of these kids are out here.
Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Then, you know, we have a bunch of people who
are running around with undiagnosed mental health concerns, and then
they're raising kids now also with undiagnosed mental health concerns.
And then we also have given them access to guns
by the constitution to carry and all those different types
of things.
Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
So it's caused so many problems. Well, I want to
make sure that.
Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
Police officers actually have the support in terms of having
a mental health provider on, you know, on the staff
with them. I want to make sure that the schools
have mental health workers in every single district in the state.
Speaker 7 (01:13:05):
I want to make sure people have that work now.
Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
Andrew Yang is also a support and Andrew Yang get
up man.
Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
So in twenty nineteen, when I was looking at who
all gonna support for President of the United States, I
was actually a Corey Boker supporter.
Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
Shout out to Corey Booker. But what Corey Booker was.
Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Talking about wasn't really, in my opinion, talking about solutions.
And then I came across the Agent God talk about
he wanted to give everybody a thousand dollars a month.
And when I thought about it, I said, man, on
thousand dollars a month would have really changed my life,
Like it would have kept me out out of those hoods,
would have kept me out of living in those motels.
That would have really changed everything about me. And when
I met him, it was like he was talking about
(01:13:42):
AI and all these other things that literally we are
seeing every single day now. Like everything he said he
was right about everything, and That's what led me to him,
and I said, man, I'm gonna go ahead and help you,
and we've been friends ever since.
Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
You talk a lot about the economic empowerment. What's this
specific plan to bring like real investment, real jobs, you know,
real entrepreneurship into rural counties in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Well, one of the things that I've already done is
in my district, I created something the Lower Rich and
Tech Academy. And what that does is it teaches low
coding and no coding technologies to the people in the
rural community and allows them to start their own entrepreneur
businesses in those areas. So in East Over, South Carolina,
we have started at least forty different small businesses right
(01:14:23):
there in that rural area needs a majority of black
and brown people that started these different businesses down there.
I want to take that entire program across the state.
I also want to work on this my South Carolina
Resiliency Act. So what that's going to do is going
to mandate South Carolina to be able to produce or
manufacture at least twenty five percent of the resource that
we need in South Carolina. Right now, South Carolina only
(01:14:45):
produces eleven percent of the food that we consume every
single year, eleven percent is not enough. So we have
to import all of our food from other states, from
other countries. I want to say, listen, let's produce our
own stuff. What that's going to do is that's going
to help out our rural communities as well as our farmers,
to put them back to work, allow them to expand
the farms, and say, listen, we're gonna we're gonna get
our own produce from the people who are right here
(01:15:05):
in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
When did you learn to start projecting your boys every
time you want to push up?
Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
Man, listen, Well, I actually I got a degree in communications,
but my thing was always yeah, they.
Speaker 7 (01:15:24):
Always said I was loud. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I've always been a loud speaker. They've always confused me
with saying, hey, man, you talk a lout like now.
I don't talk a lot. I just talk loud, you know.
And I want to be heard. I need to be
heard when I'm speaking up for people.
Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
So people always ask, if you do become governor, what
we said, when you do become governor, how would be work?
How would you work with Donald Trump?
Speaker 7 (01:15:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
Man, listen, man, you're gonna bring that man up up ahead, man, listen.
So my thing is and what I've told everybody, I
don't care who's in the White House. I don't care
if it's Republican, I don't care if it's a Democrat
in the White House. If it's not good for South Carolina,
I'm not supporting it. I'm truly South Carolina. First, we
have these crazy people who are running for all office
to call themselves Trump Conservatives.
Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
I was like, what the hell is a Trump conservative?
Speaker 7 (01:16:04):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Like, you know, you let one man define what a
conservative is. And that's the problem. So if Donald Trump
wants to do good for South Carolina, I will gladly
work with them. If he wants to do bad, I'll
gladly stand against them. And I've been an independent thinker.
I don't care you know what party you decide to
be with. If it's not good for the people of
South Carolina, I'm not supporting it.
Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
What's your plan? The overhaul education? So students graduate in
South Carolina either career ready, college ready, our business ready.
Speaker 22 (01:16:29):
You know, we lag behind national average man forty forty
third in the country. Yeah, it's bad, man, and we
haven't we haven't done anything about it. So, you know,
places like Greenville are receiving more funds than places like Denmark, right,
so we have an issue where we're not funding these
schools adequately. So I want to do a full on
public education audit. What I want to do is I
(01:16:52):
want to compare the rural schools or that are well
performing with the rural schools that are poor performing, and
the urban schools with the you know, the urban schools
that are well.
Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Perform with the urban schools that are poor performing.
Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
I want to look at the administration and overhead and
to see if there's any waste for spending with the administration.
And I also want to look at teacher pay. I
want to look at all that and compare them all
across the entire state and create this After this entire audit,
I want to get all the information together and then
make best practices from there, so to make sure that
we have all the information we need to make the
best decision. Right now, we're not doing anything. We're just
(01:17:24):
looking at social issues. We're more concerned with banning books
in South Carolina. Were the number one state of banned
books South Carolina is we want to look at all
the crazy stuff going on instead of actually investing, we
want to take away public school money and give it
the private damn schools.
Speaker 7 (01:17:38):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
I mean, that is a problem right there. And in
these private schools, if you want to send your kid
to this private school, they literally can say your kid
can't come to the private school, but my kid can come.
But your tax dollars is gonna pay for my kid
to go to the private school that jo kid can't.
Speaker 7 (01:17:52):
Even get to.
Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
And that's a problem in South Carolina. So we have
to truly look at public education to make sure we're
fixing and addressing these issues.
Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
That's the one thing the governors do wrong. The governor
right now, what's one thing that he's doing wrong. If
you could pick out all the things, one thing that
really works.
Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
You kissing Donald Trump's butt.
Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
I mean, I mean, just to be honest, he sent
two hundred of our National guardsmen to Washington, d C.
And when he sent them up there, what they're doing
is they're literally on the side of the road picking
up trash in DC right now. Well, if those two
hundred National guardsmen didn't have anything to do, well, how
come they're not in South Carolina helping us solve those
six hundred unsolved murders that I talked about, like they
(01:18:29):
could they could have easily been put to work doing
something better for the people of South Carolina. But no,
every time Donald Trump calls, he answers. And that's the
problem that we have. We need to be addressing these
issues that are in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
But when the president calls, aren't you supposed answer them?
Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
You were supposed to answer, but you don't got to
like do everything that this man say every time he
say send you, I mean, and he did it during
hurricane season.
Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
I mean, I mean, come on, man.
Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Like we're sitting in a situation where it could be
seriously dangerous putting more South Carolinians at risk because you
want to appease one man.
Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
That's the problem.
Speaker 6 (01:18:59):
What would be the consequence saying no to him?
Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
You're just not going to be best friends with them anymore.
I mean, I'm i'm you can stop federal funding.
Speaker 16 (01:19:07):
You can get your resources for like when there's like
emergencies in South Carolina, or even funding for like the
schools and stuff that you're talking about right now.
Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Yeah, I mean, he could talk about it. He could
talk about all different types of federal funding issues. But
we're seeing federal funding cuts already, so I mean that
doesn't really matter. He's gonna cut us in ways if
he doesn't like us, you know, and he might threaten
once I become governor, he might threaten to cut funding
in there anyways, just because I'm a black Democrat, you
know what I'm saying, D, Right, But I always listen
called me D. I definitely earned it, So I mean
(01:19:36):
that's the type of person I am.
Speaker 16 (01:19:37):
So how do you make sure that, like when you
go in and do all the testing in those schools
and you, you know, raise those numbers to get the
funding and stuff, that the teachers are still really connected
to the students Because I've been like I went to
an inner city school, and when we got more better numbers,
score numbers, test numbers, more money, the teachers they brought
in were so disconnected from us, Like it changed the
environment of the school and it was like it caused
(01:20:00):
more students to not come back to the school. And
I think that happens a lot, especially in the inner
city school So how do you like do good in
those schools? Will also make sure that the teachers are
still like invested in.
Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
The students, right, well, the thing is, you have to
make sure that you are connected with the school. So
one thing that I've done, even as a state representative,
I decided to go and become a substitute teacher.
Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
So I wented to the public schools to go.
Speaker 2 (01:20:26):
Yeah, it is, I do a lot, but I wanted
to go in there because I wanted the teachers to
one know that I cared. I wanted the kids to
be able to see me and say, man, like, that's
a state representative.
Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
He's a politician, but.
Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Yet he's still like he's one of us, and I
can beat him when I can see him and I
could touch him, you know. So I went in there
to really assess the situation. And I think you lead
by example. And I don't plan to stop any of
the work that I'm doing once I become governor. I
plan to continue on going into the schools. I plan
to continue on going in there and advocating for them.
I even fought a bill that would mandate that the
(01:20:59):
members of the General sim would have to do at
least five days a year of volunteering or substitute teaching
in the public schools because I needed to see it.
Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Yeahs now, we always talk about trade schools, right, I'm
a salute to Lincoln Tech. I'm an ambassador for Lated Tech.
I love trade schools, but you really love trade schools.
Explain why why do you think trade schools are so necessary?
Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
Well, I mean, listen, we put too much emphasis on
this for your institutions.
Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
I think if you're not an athlete, or you're not
going to be a lawyer or a doctor, you should
be looking at trade schools. And we have allowed people
to really just keep over selling these for year institutions
all the time, and trade schools. We have a lack
of workers right now. We have a lack of electricians.
We have a lack of plumbers, we have a lack
of engineers. You know, my son right now is going
(01:21:44):
to men this Technical college to get his megatronics degree
right now. Because Scott Motors needs some more workers that's.
Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Coming to South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Michelin said about sixty five percent of their workforce for
retiring over the next few years. We have a lack
of these industrial workers, and I think we need to
put the embassies. I'm mean, people could come out of
these schools, these trade schools making eighty five thousand dollars
after two years. I mean, they'd be nineteen years old, man, Like.
You got to think about that, you know, helping these
kids to learn how to invest in their futures.
Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
I got cousins man in Monks Corner who were doing
hvactor as soon as they got out of high school. Damn,
mister mill in twenty five years right right. And I
love the conversations you're having because you're talking about economic depownerment,
You're talking about mental health, you know something else. You're
talking about trade schools. Like all of that stuff, to
me is just about affordability and how to keep people safe.
(01:22:35):
Why is that so hard for politicians? It's life aining complicated.
People just want some more money in their pocket and
they want to feel.
Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Safe because they allow on Fox News and Seeing them
to be the driving talking point. And I think that's
the problem. We do the same thing in South Carolina.
The Republicans they quote Fox News, Democrats quote seeing them,
you know, and I think we need to get away
from that. I think we need to get back to
addressing the issues. I mean, I'm all about affordability. People
are hungry, man like, people are starving out here. We
(01:23:02):
don't even have a minimum wage in South Carolina. Like
people always say, let's let's raise minimum wage, we don't
have one. We have to establish the minimum wage before
we can raise the dame minimum wage, you know. So,
I mean it's interes like that in minimum wage is
seven twenty five. Who was living off a seven twenty five?
Speaker 7 (01:23:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
I mean, we have these issues all over the place,
and I don't know why people want to hit on
these big social issues and talk about abortion every single
year and talk about you know, guns every single year.
I mean, man, people just people want the same thing.
They want food, they want safety, they want good schools,
they want good roads, they want good jobs.
Speaker 13 (01:23:37):
All right, Well, he's running for governor of South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Make sure you get out there and vote and support
my man to do How can they donate?
Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
Man, listen, I need everybody to go to Johnson for
SC dot com, jail h N s O n f
O r SC dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
We got to raise money, y'all.
Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
You know, y'all know that as a black guy running
for governor of South Carolina, being the second but the
second nominee in the history of South Carolina. Uh, we
need to raise as much money as possible. I mean, honestly,
y'all got over six million viewers right now, right and
at the Breakast Club, my bad.
Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
Eight there you go.
Speaker 7 (01:24:09):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
If all eight million people just gave a dollar, we
would have more than enough money to become governors South Carolina.
But listen, what we we need five dollars, ten dollars,
twenty dollars. This is a real grassroots movement and we
want to go grassroots to grassroos funded.
Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
And that's just for radio that don't sound like the
YouTube and the podcast. We'll get We'll get them, we'll
get it.
Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
We'll get them all to give a dollar, man, get
them all to give a dollar or get him want to.
Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
Give twenty dollars? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
What what the hell is a guy?
Speaker 7 (01:24:41):

No, no, you gotta stop.
Speaker 7 (01:24:45):
You got you.
Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
If you are a man, you should not have a
homeboy whose nickname is Belly.
Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
But no, the chat. The guy's chat's name is dj
mv's bully Bob Bro. I just said, what's something.
Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
A little bit like what's up? Belly? But if somebody

say yo, and he said, what's up, belly button? That's
a guy on the check Logan, put your daddy on

I mean, dam you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (01:25:17):
Logan? All right, let's get to the latest with Lauren. Man,
she gets somebody that knows, somebody gets the detail.
Speaker 16 (01:25:25):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
And she'd be having the latest on the.
Speaker 7 (01:25:32):
Latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of every time it's.
Speaker 7 (01:25:37):
The latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 16 (01:25:42):
What I know you We got a lot to get through.
Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (01:25:48):
So before we get to the ray j story that
I teased in the last hour, I did want to
take a second to send a rest in peace to
Rob Renner and his wife Michelle. So this story is
still developing us. Some of the details are still not confirmed,
but what is confirmed is that Rob Renner and his
wife Michelle were found dead in their homes in la
with their throats slit, and it's alleged by their daughter
(01:26:10):
that found them that it is a family member that
is responsible. And this is reportedly all coming after an
argument that happened in their home on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
A lot of people might not know so.
Speaker 16 (01:26:21):
Rob Renner is a famous Hollywood director, producer, and actor.
His wife, Michelle, was also a photographer. They met on
the set of When Harry Met Sally, which he directed.
He also directed Princess Bride, A Few Good Men. He's
known actor wise as Mike from All in the Family,
which was Normally's TV sitcom Soup. Yeah, I believe she's
(01:26:41):
from His wife was from New York as well too.
But yeah, one of their daughters found them dead in
their home, and she's the person that told police that
it was probably that it was a family member that
she believed in that this family member. Yes, I was
getting to that. So the daughter, so per reports the daughter.
We don't know if the daughter said the sun, but
People magazine has it confirmed on a few sources that
(01:27:05):
that it may be their son, and police have said
that the son is being questioned questioned, but there has
been no arrested.
Speaker 9 (01:27:10):
Me at the time.
Speaker 16 (01:27:13):
Yeah, family, Yes, Now switching switching gears back to ray
J on the Hollywood News. So you guys remember that
the whole Rico conversation with reg J and the Kardashians RICO.
So ray J just responded via court dos to their
claims of wanting to get rid of his lawsuits. And
(01:27:33):
he's standing on, you know, the fact that he believes
that there was something going on at a time with
the RICO, which is what made him come out and
say the things that he says. Uh, he's saying, Rey
J says, and the docks to me, Kim and Chris
have repeatedly engaged in criminal enterprise and racketeering activity, violating
RICO over and over again.
Speaker 9 (01:27:49):
I have no doubt about that.
Speaker 15 (01:27:51):
Uh.
Speaker 16 (01:27:51):
He continues to compare them to Diddy, who we know
was also prosecuted for RICO.
Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
Uh.
Speaker 16 (01:27:58):
And then he mentions that he went to chat gpt
for help and claims that the chat bot entrenched his
beliefs that Kim and Chris were racketeers because of information
that came up when he taught the chat gpt. So
there's that update for raging. Okay, Yeah, Now, as we
continue on down in the news, more troubled things or
maybe not Trey Songs. So singer Trey Songs was arrested
(01:28:21):
for assault after allegedly punching a New York night club
employee in the face earlier this month. The punching in
the face was earlier this month, but he was in
court yesterday Sunday, and this all happened allegedly after the
club employee told him that.
Speaker 9 (01:28:33):
The club was closing.
Speaker 16 (01:28:35):
So he was partying at a spot called Drama night
Club and according to reports, the nightclub employee came over
and told him around like four to twenty five that
the club was closing, and the alleged he got a raised.
So yesterday he was in court for the assault, and
then he was arraigned on mischief in the second degree
for a separate, unrelated incident at another spot in New
York called.
Speaker 9 (01:28:54):
Mirror later in that morning.
Speaker 16 (01:28:56):
And I did receive a statement from Trey Song's council,
his attorney, Mitchell Schuster, who says Trede Song was charging
connection with the incident that occurred last week. He is
cooperating fully and looks forward to the facts coming to light. Separately,
last night, Trey was confronted by individuals and they allege
that they instigated a confrontation, so this is something separate
and attended to surround him. They say his security got
(01:29:16):
involved and they mentioned that they believe he's a public
figure that is being treated as a target for an
instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gains, and they
are confident that the facts will speak for themselves.
Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
You know the worst thing about these trade song stories
nowadays you don't ever hear trade songs and headlines anymore
for any type of music, when songs without music.
Speaker 9 (01:29:35):
He had a song with ray Ja. Yeah, he had
a song with ra Mber.
Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
That song.
Speaker 16 (01:29:40):
I remember it because they did this on the radar
and ray J was just in the back dancing and
it was pretty entertaining.
Speaker 9 (01:29:46):
I'm gonna look up the song.
Speaker 1 (01:29:47):
So it's it's hard to you know, focus on anything
else excelf for his legal troubles all the time, because
you don't get us nothing else to folks.
Speaker 9 (01:29:53):
Yeah, the songs, it's called Litigan.
Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
I don't remember that song.
Speaker 9 (01:29:56):
Yeah again, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
We need to see talk about Trey's music. Like Trady's
are talented artists and we haven't heard album in a
long time. All we here in is BS.
Speaker 6 (01:30:09):
Yeah, well I'm listening to him. I still listened to Trey.
Speaker 9 (01:30:12):
That's crazy, Oh Trey right, Yeah, me too.
Speaker 16 (01:30:15):
Well, speaking of other artists who get in the headlines
because of, you know, the things surrounding them outside of
their music. Kanye West, So there was a documentary in
whose Name that released in theaters a while back, but
it has now been available made available on streaming. I
watched it last night on Amazon and uh, no, there's
an eighteen he was there's a director who was started
this like years ago when he was eighteen years old,
(01:30:36):
and yeah, there's a whole straight line behind him.
Speaker 9 (01:30:38):
So it wasn't fifty cents. But one of the things.
Speaker 16 (01:30:41):
That I thought was interesting in this doc uh people
used to always talk about how Kanye was didn't have
any people around him when he was going through all
these things to kind of pull him up. There was
a moment in this documentary where Swiss Beats actually tried
to have a conversation with Kanye about the whole Maga
situation before he you know, famously went on snel inspired
without Let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
We both know that that man is undoing for our kin.
Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
I'm talking about what it meant, But why.
Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
Is that it's so fresh? You got his hat on though, No,
it's my hat. I made this version. It's a different shape.
Speaker 23 (01:31:10):
I understand you made the version and shape them in
the craft before the craft. This man is very racist
and there's people that's being killed.
Speaker 6 (01:31:20):
I don't care if I racist, knew more racist than
white people black people.
Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
But you can't do that to the culture. And I
can't tell you what to do, Yeah you can.
Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
I can't tell you what to do.
Speaker 23 (01:31:29):
And this this is your session, This your session. But
we have a brother talking with you. You know what
I'm saying, Like that should be hurting me a little bit,
and it hurt everybody around you.
Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
And they just not not They just not up enough
to tell you.
Speaker 7 (01:31:40):
They keep my thoughts in here.
Speaker 18 (01:31:42):
The hat is like this everything someone else want to
say black white like that it must like not be going.
Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
Is this doc authorized by Kanye? Like did they want
these conversations out?
Speaker 3 (01:31:52):
Like yes?
Speaker 16 (01:31:53):
So this is the director of it is a guy
who was following Kanye around for some years and then
they decided to bring it over into theaters and now
it's hit streaming. So but I will say, in watching
this doc and people have their different take on Kanye
and the things he's done or whatever, it made me
really feel like I hope that he's taking care of himself.
(01:32:14):
In a real way because you got to really see
moments where like he's literally like skitzing out sometimes on
like just family members like that are trying to help him,
like Chris Jenner was trying to help him. At one point,
Kim Kardashian is calling him when he leaves the White
House and she's like, please stop, like I'm begging you,
and she's trying to stand by him for some time,
but I want to take a listen. There was a
moment because there's a conversation around the Kardashians and whether
(01:32:37):
or not they put him in the best position. There
was a moment between Chris Jenner and Kanye West where
he talks about feeling emasculated as a man. Let's take
a listen, y'all demasculated me and made me feel like
a piece of way gotta really because I was medicated.
Speaker 21 (01:32:53):
God would rather be dead, not in jail, because I'd
be this is you on medication?
Speaker 20 (01:33:01):
Do what from the salmony to say that any responsibility
from my hospital visits.
Speaker 18 (01:33:06):
But if you want to go online, that's fifty percent
of what people.
Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
Say at least or maybe in my line.
Speaker 17 (01:33:13):
It doesn't matter my line. It matters to us and you.
It doesn't matter what the Internet says, it matters what
we think.
Speaker 7 (01:33:30):
So what do you think?
Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
Did you have an effect on my mental health?
Speaker 12 (01:33:34):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
Yes, yes, I'm saying yes.
Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
I'll say this when he's screaming like that, he emasculates
himself because he sounded like a little child having a tantrum,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
But yeah, but it's like when you met and when
something like I don't know, man, like.
Speaker 1 (01:33:49):
Can't nobody emasculate you though you either a man and
you're not Like I don't like when people say that
this person emasculated me, Like, no, nobody can do you.
That's it. But but Kanye hasn't had a quiet year,
and I really dope he is. I really hope he's
been getting the healing that he deserves.
Speaker 3 (01:34:04):
I will say this though, salute the Swiss Beats. Swiss
Beats has those Brothers conversations with a lot of people
in the industry a lot of times behind the scenes.
He's the one person you can call all the time
and he'll have a conversation. He'll stop what he's doing
to have a conversation, making sure you're okay. And also,
I hate to give Bay credit, but Babe probably over
here was probably one of the first person to talk.
The told Kanye West to his face that the team
around me, Yeah, tell the man that told him that
(01:34:25):

me and a Dallas cowboy fan, you don't have any
expectations for anything, you know what I mean. So it's
just like what I was. What I was saying, we
suck and we're not going to the super Bowl this year.
We started to win a couple of games. As soon
as I fixed my mouth to say we're going to
the super Bowl, we done lost the last two. So
you know, I'm just back where I always am, you know,
(01:34):
below mediocrity.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
But I didn't say we were gonna win, and I
didn't say we were gonna lose. But we've been losing.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
What's up to me? Good morning and he Josh Lamae,
how y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Good morning girl, Good morning?
Speaker 8 (04:04):
All right, well, we begin this morning with breaking news
out of Providence, Rhode Island, where a mass shooting on
the campus of Brown University has taken a major turn overnight.
Speaker 9 (04:13):
So here's what we know so far.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Authorities say two students were killed and nine others were
injured Saturday afternoon when a gunman opened fire inside the
engineering building, and the shooting happened just after four pm
as students were on campus studying four final exams, and
terrified students were seen running from gunfire while others barricaded
themselves inside of classrooms. Of Police say dozens of officers
(04:36):
they rushed to the scene, escorting students to safety and
locking down the campus for hours now. Initially, authorities say
they had detained a person of interest and that individual
was taken into custody early Sunday morning at a hotel
about twenty miles from campus, and officials said two weapons
were recovered. But late Sunday night, investigators announced a dramatic
(04:57):
shift in the case. At a press conference that began
just before eleven pm, Rhode Island and Providence officials said
they are releasing the person of interest and resuming their
search for a suspect, acknowledging the investigation is now essentially
starting over.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
Let's listen, Certainly, there was some degree of evidence that
pointed to this individual, but that evidence needed to be
corroborated and confirmed, and over the last twenty four hours
leading into a just very very recently, that evidence now
points in a different direction. So what that means is
that this person of interest needs to be it should
(05:34):
be released. I think what is really unfortunate that this
person's name was leaked to the public. It's hard to
put that back in the bottom. Okay, So we're going
to proceed very carefully here. There is too much at
stake for the victims of this horrific crime and their
families to take chances with respect to this.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Investigation.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Wow, now thor yeah, in authorities. They say that there
is no indication of an immediate threat to the public,
but they emphasized that the investigation remains active in ongoing. Meanwhile,
students in staff they are still processing what happened. A
Joseph Adoorro, a teaching assistant, says he was leading an
economic study session when he heard screaming and gunfire. He
(06:23):
describes the moment the gunman walked into the room. Let's
listen to that.
Speaker 11 (06:28):
We heard commotion outside the door of what sounded like
students screaming, and got like the sound of gunshots. Around
five seconds or so later, we see a gunman walking
on the left hand side he entered the room. I
was standing in the front, so as soon as he
walked in, he immediately saw me, and I immediately saw him.
Then I looked to my right and I see a
(06:49):
bunch of students running down the stairs, running out the door,
jumping on the ground, just whatever whatever it takes to
sail out. The gun was so big among that I
genuine thought like, Okay, this is the under the road
for me. I texted my parents, Oh my goodness, he's
in the room. God, I'm so scared.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Hey, not the damn thing we can say this morning
that we haven't already said in regards to mass shootings,
like America needs commistance gun laws, and we will never
get any commatants gun laws as long as these gun lobbyists,
you know, have these politicians in their pockets. We know
it's too many guns in America, too many high powered
guns in America, but nothing is ever going to change
in this country. It's just not Yeah. I hate to
be the Debbie down.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I wish I could say something that could change that,
but you're absolutely right, and there's nothing that's gonna change that.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Instead of saying as American as apple pie, we should
say as American as mass shootings.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I wouldn't want to say that, but it's the truth.
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
UH officials say they do not have any new images
of that suspect beyond a short video that was released
a Saturday showing a person walking away from the area.
They are asking the public for any information to come
forward as they continue their.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
Search for suspect.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
In Brown University, they've canceled all remaining classes final exams,
probably for the semester, citing concern for the safety and
well being of their students' safety and their staff and faculty.
And as you guys mentioned, you know America. This shooting, though,
this mass shooting problem is taking place overseas as we
continue the violence. It was not limited just to the US.
(08:18):
This weekend was marked by a mass shooting even in Australia.
Authorities there say at least fifteen people were killed forty
others were injured at a mass shooting at Bondai Beach
in Sydney, which is apparently one of the most well
known and heavily visited spaces in the country. Police say
the attack it happened during a gathering marking the first
(08:38):
night of Hanukkah. Officials have described it as a terrorist
attack designed to target Jewish people. The investigators say the
suspect they were a father and son duo, ages fifty
and twenty four years old. They shot and killed an
older man at the sea. The police shot and killed
the older man at the scene that the younger suspect.
He was taken into custody with critical injuries and remains hospitalized.
Speaker 12 (09:01):
Now.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Authority say those weapons that they use they were legally
obtained and they're now reviewing how they were able to
get those fire arms and how they were using.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The attacked and the victims.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
They range in age from twelve to eighty seven years old.
Among those killed a rabbi which he was a father
of five, a twelve year old girl, and a Holocaust survivor.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So and Australia has some of the strictest gun laws.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
In the world.
Speaker 13 (09:26):
They do.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yes, So this just proves when someone makes up their
mind to do some bs, they gonna go do some bs.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Yeah, yes, yes, they're now looking into how to make
those even stricter Charlamagne, But yes they do.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well that's good. At least they're looking to make them scripted.
We don't even do that in this country. We just
keep it moving like nothing is ever going to change
in America because nobody has any interest in changing it.
Like these mass shootings are just the casualty of direct
to bed arms to some people.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, but the problem is is you know, as a
father or as a student, you think the safest place
for you is school, right. You think it's college, it's
a university, it's a school. You'll be safe there. You
with other kids, just trying to learn, just trying to
make it to the next level. And then when you
go to school you have an incident like this happened.
And I'm not talking about the Australia incident and talking
about the other one. But and it's not like it's
not like you say, I send my kid to a
private school. That happens to a private school. You can't
(10:09):
say I send my kid to HBCU. It's happening at HBCU.
So it's it's so.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Goddamn scared, right, But even think about it in Australia
that happened at a beach. Yeah, just you know what
I mean, You're just going to have a good head
at the beach and then what.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Yeah Jesus, all right, crazy, all right, y'all.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Well, coming up at seven, a major deadline is quickly
approaching for the Trump administration. We'll explain what's due at
the end of the week and why people are watching

Good morning, Shave? What's up, piche morning today?
Speaker 16 (13:23):
It's thirty fourth birthday, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 14 (13:28):
I walked up selling really good early. People really excited
for this new chapter.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's that's the positive energy.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Is I have a question yet?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Girl?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
When are the next time you're going to be performing
in New York?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Because I already miss you and I want.
Speaker 17 (13:44):
To come to you.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I'm trying to put together a deal now for Brooklyn
or somewhere like that. Everybody keep telling me about these
venues or whatever. It's I'm mad since Caroline's closed, like
that spot in New York. But now I gotta find
another venue that I can make a good deal with.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You killed Salsal configure in the Bronx, so you killed
that when I would you know what to say.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
But everybody don't like coming to the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And I understand. I understand why. I'm see what I'm
saying in the Bronx. If you don't live in the Bronx,
you know, going there once a year is pretty much enough.
Anything else is risking it exactly.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
I got you, o girl, I got you.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Thank you, Shaye, Happy birthday.
Speaker 14 (14:26):

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Hello, who's this yo?

Speaker 4 (14:55):

Speaker 14 (14:55):

Speaker 7 (14:56):

Speaker 14 (14:58):
Ready in California?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Man, all right, up.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And up early listening to us on the app HO
every day. Appreciate what's up?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Brother?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
If your chest?
Speaker 15 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (15:08):
You know what with this gun thing and everything that's
going on, honestly, like I have, I'm a legal gun
owner and I don't even need the guns that I got.
So Charlotte's right and everybody's right on this. They need
to do something, you know, to get stuff under control
a little bit. Might want to like, you know, check
(15:29):
people's mental health, datus. It's some things like that before
they'd be giving all these guns out. Because I don't
think everybody needs like a hundred guns. I think that's ridiculous.
You know, a couple of guns to protect your family
or something. I totally understand.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, I'm with you, Sonny.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Not only that, I mean you are a legal gun owner,
so you know you have to put down a couple
of names of people who are supposed to say that
you're you're cool to have a gun. I always want
to if they actually call those individuals and really really
ask them your history is, you know, because you got
to put down with three people that is not your
family members to see if you if you should be
able to have a gun, if your mental is allowed
to have a gun. And I always wonder if they
(16:08):
actually call those people, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 15 (16:10):
No, I wanted that too exactly or whatever.
Speaker 14 (16:12):
And they should do that. Matter of fact, they should
probably do more than.
Speaker 15 (16:15):
That, just to kind of look in your background.
Speaker 14 (16:18):
And just see, you know, are you have you done
a bunch of crazy ish to people, you know, and
stuff like that you shouldn't be having.
Speaker 15 (16:25):
You know, no guns.
Speaker 14 (16:26):
I mean you even go hurt somebody with a knife
or something. Anyway, you don't even need a gun.
Speaker 12 (16:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Listen, I'm too a all day. Would I agree with you?
We definitely need universal background check checks that cover with
like all gun sales, you know, from online purchases, the
gun shows, you know, just to prevent crazy people from
grabbing guns.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, cause the great thing is, like to purchase a gun,
you just got to be of age of twenty one,
never had a violent felony, and you need three people.
I think it's two or three people that can vouch
for you to say that you're okay to have.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
A rect address like you can't. It's in New Jersey.
It's very hard to purchase fire them. And I'm two
a all day. By the way, Yes, but I do
believe in commentson's gun laws.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
one five. When we got the latest with Lauren coming.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Up, good morning, cool bab hey, Yes we do. So.
Speaker 16 (17:10):
There's been a lot of back and forth with Kimora,
Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons over the weekend. But I
spoke to a source close and I'm going to clear
up some things this morning. If I need to notice,
if I if I, if I could say it, I
would have said it.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
We're gonna talk about it in the latest.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
We'll get to it when we come back. It's the
breakfast Club. Good morning.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Lauren be coming straight back.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
May she gets them somebody that knows somebody to detail.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
She'd be having the latest on you.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
The Lord. It's just the latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
It's the latest on The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Now, just because it's the last week before vacation, Lauren,
doesn't mean you give minimal effort. That's right, full effort,
all right, full effort. You need to be on your
p's and q that's right, okay.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
Full out every day. She was five six seven eight,
all right, six seven.
Speaker 16 (18:02):
Well, first, before we get into the hour, I did
want to shout out everybody who came out over the
weekend to the Power Sessions, the concert that we did.
Hear New York sold out concert. We had such a
great time. Lola Brook performed, Seddie Wills. Eddie Will had
them girls going crazy in there, gee Herbo, Marida, Scientists,
Cash Coo Bain. So just wanted to shout them out,
shout out everybody who came through. And we were live
(18:23):
on The Breakfast Club's Twitch account so you can go
watch the behind the scenes as much as the show
as we could get and we're also posting clips to socials,
So you know, did want to take that little moment
for us because we was sold out.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Did you show people were doing cocaine behind the scenes?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 16 (18:35):
I left the cocaine off, you know, I leave that off,
and I'll let people know I'm like to when I
walk up.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
You know, our respect the people in our privacy.
Speaker 16 (18:42):
Well, speaking of people, Russell Simmons and komor Lee Simmons
are at it again right down. So, Komoralie Simmons has
been promoting her reality show that is on E currently
and she spoke to People magazine exclusively and in the interview,
she says that she doesn't really have a relationship with
the fathers of her children. She then goes on to say,
(19:03):
usually I would say that our co parent, okay, but
the kids are with me full time. I'm pretty much
your primary parent. It's difficult, but I don't know. Sometimes
with other people are thinking guys are weird. She says
she's thankful for her family and people that you know,
help her. If I wasn't this person, I don't know
if we would have made it or if we would
be okay. It's been very important to me to be strong,
self reliant and constantly be growing. So of course this
(19:26):
picked up because she shares children with Russell Simmons, Mingle,
who is twenty five, and Aoki Lee, who is twenty three.
She also has other children. She has a son named
Kenzo who's sixteen with actor Didyall. I'm gonn Messa's name up?
Did Jimon han Nusu you're talking about? Yes, and a
son Whooflee, who is ten, and and she has, you know,
(19:46):
a child that she adopted who was sixteen, and a
bonus son who's nineteen, so her kids are older.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The actor that you this name, I haven't seen him
in a long time. I haven't seen him in no movies.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Have y'all seen him?
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Well?
Speaker 16 (20:00):
He was sentenced to two years in prison earlier this
year after pleading guilty to bribery money laundering charges.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
So if you were leather for him, that's where he be.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's the reason why.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (20:09):
But you know, this picked up in the news of course,
because everyone knows, or we thought we knew, the relationship
with her and Russell Simmons, and we've seen some of
that kind of play out over the years as they've
been through different things. But Russell Simmons actually responded to
this in a thread and he said, I gave you
fifty thousand dollars a month for twenty years. I was
your best slash only friend. The Godfather to your three kids,
(20:31):
to your other three kids, until one day you stole
my stock. I have been fighting for my kids, love
and my bread ever since you threatened that if I
sued you, I would never speak to my kids again.
There are two sides to every story.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh, we need to correct something. Tim Leisner is one
of comorally Simon's baby daddy's. He's the one that's in
prison for two years, not the actor that you're talking
about at the brother.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I'm positive. I just looked it up because I was like,
that didn't sound right now. I'm like, we just put
that brother in jail? What Tim Tim Leisner.
Speaker 16 (21:03):
I'll go back and look at that what the People
article mentioned, because I got this from the People article.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But get Laurence A. You already got one. The sacrifice
one we got to know, me want corporate and we
need to sacrifice one. That one we don't want to.
But that was crazy.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Okay, I'll come back with that corrected.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think you need to look now before even finish
the story. I'm telling you right now, if you just
put somebody in jail, I was that person's people, I'll
be like, oh, you're.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Correct, You're correct. I'm sorry, yes, let me correct that.
Speaker 16 (21:35):
So she says that son Kenzo, who's sixteen with actor
DoD Jaman Hanusu, and son Wolf, who was ten with
former investment banker Tim Leisner, who was sentence to two
years in prison earlier this year after pleading guilty to
bribery and money money laundering charges. Sorry, his name isn't
pronounce did youmon? I'm sorry because I can't pronounce your
(21:55):
name in business is like the Pokemon just say, I
don't think that's correct either, But yes, yes, correcting that now,
apologies for that, but yes. So Russell Simmons responded on
his own because you know, people were picking this up
as if he's just, you know, this absentee father, and
he's saying that that is not true and that, you know,
(22:16):
the only reason why there has been an issue. He's
throwing it on Comora's side. Now, I spoke to a
close a source close to Komoro who says, whatever money
he's referencing has he has given her was court ordered
child support for almost a year. For almost over a
year or a decade ago. For almost over a decade ago,
It wasn't a gift. It's all public infos so it's
the actual amount and the number of years he paid,
(22:37):
both of which he was overstated.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
Anyone could do the research in the math.
Speaker 16 (22:41):
Now they're speaking to the threat of the you won't
see your kids if you sue me that they that
he alleged, and from what I'm told, she said that
this was erratic behavior that he was displaying because we
were seeing things back and forth with him and his daughter.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
You guys remember that, like the video and all that stuff.
Speaker 16 (22:57):
So she was talking about erratic behavior from what the
sources telling me, and alleged abuse, and what they said
to him, from what I'm told, is that because of this,
his family would eli alienate from him and his friends.
And the source claims this is what happens. And the
source also claims no one is keeping anyone from anyone.
His daughters are grown adults, twenty five and twenty three
years old. One of them has actually been to Bali,
(23:19):
and I'm told that Komorley Simmons has had to go
no contact with him and it's been that way for
five years or more.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
So that's what I was ready to say.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
I was really make the point of like them girls grown,
you know, so I'm not gonna say it can't be
comor keeping them, but you know what I mean, they grown,
They do what they want, you know what I mean,
now they're not young.
Speaker 16 (23:37):
Yeah, I'm just confused by at this point, like because
the kids are so much older, Like why haven't they
kind of figured it out where like they could just
not even have to mention each other or you know
what I mean. Like I mean, I guess they always
come up in each other's past because of how big
the relationship was.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
But I was just like, again, she has reality showing them.
I'm sure they asked her about it. But the thing is,
it's like, you know, every family is different, Like you know,
sometimes something about a kid or bother father, bother child
and they just got to get it together. We've all
been in situations where you ain't talk to your moms
or talk to your child in a week or so
because they mad about something. I've been there with Logan.
Me and Logan is the best of friends, but sometimes
(24:11):
he says some hard headed issue. We won't speak for
a little bit, but it is what it is saying
with my parents at the time, I ain't want to
speak to my mom and pops for a little bit.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
Yeah, but that doesn't spill over onto the internet. And
because these kids are older, you got to I mean,
they live in their own lives now. All this always
will come back to them, That's what I'm saying. I
think I thought that at least at this point, because
they seem like they were there were friends at one point.
Then they were doing the businesses together. Than the whole
Selsia stock thing happens. So here we are now what you.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
See, uh you see wonder I don't know, I don't
even know the daughter's names, but you see one of
them in Bali, Yeah, with Russell. I've seen pictures of
them this year.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It's the family. It's family dynamic and some things that
shouldn't be put online and they are. But yeah, that's
the family dynamic.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
We shouldn't even know nothing about none of this.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
No, I'm with you with you.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
But they lived their life on TV, you know up
to a point before.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Yeah, that'.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
On the show because I used to watch the show.
And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
On that show that my friends they were younger when
it's happened, but they did have like a reality show.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
They did well.
Speaker 16 (25:09):
She has another one now that it's currently out there,
actually almost to the finale season of the show. It's
on E and it's called Kamora Back in the Fab Lane.
It comes on at ten o'clock on E.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
But congratulations on her new reality show.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
That's crazy that nobody talking about the show on the
list because I didn't hear anything about the show.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
That's what she's at promoting.
Speaker 16 (25:26):
That's why she's been in the news so much or
the media so much, because she's all promoting this show
and people are asking her about things, you know, in
her life and all the stuff that we're we're wor
seeing playouts. So in the next hour, we'll be talking
about speaking of family, we'll be talking about some things
that you could do for your family during the holidays.
Are your coworkers because Taylor Swift is dropping the money
and holiday bonuses?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
All right, we'll get to that next. Everybody else we
got front Page News will break down what's going on
in the news world. NCI will be joining us, So
don't go anywhere as to Breakfast Club. Good Morning, Everybody's
DJ NV, Jess Hilarius, Charlamage, the guy we all to

I sat off with some sports now yesterday the Chiefs
have been sent home after eleven years, eleven years straight,
(26:09):
they made it to the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Well not this year.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Mahomes toys ACL too. I believe, yeah, he saw something.
What do you tell you right here?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Something something he was helped off the field was ACL Jaguars.
Jaguars beat the Jets, The Commanders beat the Giants, The
Bills beat the Patriots, the Texas beat the Cardinals, Seahawks
beat the Colts, forty nine Ers beat the Titans, the
Vikings beat the Cowboys, Broncos beat the Packers, Rams beat
the Lions. Jaguars, I said, the Jaguars beat the Jets.
And the Monday Night Football, Yo, No, no, the Ravens
(26:38):
beat the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
You didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I meant to say that. I meant to say that.
I didn't know they was Raven fans in the building.
I meant to say that. I'm sorry. All right Now
Monday Night Football, the Dolphins take on the tail As
at eight fifteen.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
What's up to me?
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Good morning, NB, Josh all the main, how y'all doing this?
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
All right, So we started this hour with the key
deadline coming up this Friday, when the Justice depart is
required to turn over the remaining Jeffrey Epstein files to Congress. Now,
under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Justice Department must
release its remaining records by December nineteenth. On Friday, last Friday,
House Democrats they released new photos of the Epstein estate
(27:17):
showing President Donald Trump alongside other high profile figures including
Bill Clinton, Stephen Bannon, and Bill Gates, among others. Now,
those images they are part of a much larger collection
of about ninety five thousand photos obtained by the House
Oversight Committee. Now, none of the individuals shown in those
photos have been accused of any wrongdoing, but the DOJ
(27:38):
deadline is just days away, and public perception is now
very front and center. A new Reuters ipso's poll found
that only about sixteen percent of Americans believed Trump didn't
know about the Epstein's his alleged crimes, while roughly sixty
percent believe he likely knew something. Even among Republicans opinions,
they're very divided.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Now.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
When acts about the photos, Trump downplayed their significance in
the Oval office. Let's listen to what he had to say.
Speaker 19 (28:05):
I haven't seen it, but I mean everybody knew this
man who was all over upon beach, his photos with everybody.
Speaker 18 (28:10):
I mean almost there are hundreds and hundreds of people
that have photos with him.
Speaker 15 (28:14):
So that's no big pope I know nothing about.
Speaker 20 (28:17):
So.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Congressman Robert Garcia, he's a top Democrat on the Oversight Committee.
He said that the committee has reviewed roughly about twenty
five thousand photos of the ninety five thousand that they
have so far. He said it's going to take weeks
or even maybe even months to review some of those
photos and properly redact some of those images. Republicans, meanwhile,
they are accusing Democrats of chasing headlines and a statement.
(28:40):
They said Democrats are releasing a handful of selectively censored
and cherry picked photos. But with that Friday deadline now approaching,
the issue will remain front and center as lawmakers, the public,
and even both parties they wait to see what additional
information will be released next.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Lord have mercy. That just means they come in with
something crazy to discract this week. Okay, brace yourselfs people.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Right, that's very very true.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Jesus Christ Yeah, very very true. And now to another story.
We've been following the inmate who was the last inmate
who was captured after that dramatic escape from a New
Orleans jail, Derek Groves. Now he escaped earlier this year.
He sparked that massive man hunt. He's now been sentenced
in connection with a deadly shooting that happened during Marti
(29:24):
Gras back in twenty eighteen. So a judge sentence grows
to two life sentences plus two additional fifty year sentences
for the killings of twenty six year old Jamar Robinson
and twenty one year old Byron Jackson. Now, prosecutors say this,
this crime, it left a deep scar in the ninth
ward and he spoke directly about Groves during the sentencing.
Speaker 19 (29:47):
Let's listen, Derek Groves is a sociopath. As Groves is
getting sentenced, he's laughing, he's making faces at the victims family,
he's trying to talk to his family. I mean, this
is just a truly about human being.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
And that's the sad part, right because I ended up
saying that on social media, and it was people in
the comments.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Time about like free him, free him.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
You know, after they even announced that he had killed
two people back in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
That's what he was originally locked up for.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
But it was so many people rallying family to be
free in the comments.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah he's free, it's free him and tell you know
he out killing somebody that you love.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yes, stupid exactly.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
So even with this sentence, though the case is still
not fully over. He still faces separate charges related to
that jail escape, which should be he should.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
Be sentenced for that in May and.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Then he can get there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
that we waste the taxpayers.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
We got a taxpayer Money're absolutely right. But he also
apparently has two open manslaughter cases that are also still pending.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yea, so did you say he got after life yo?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
But that's what I pretty much always feel like the
justice system might know something that we don't know, Like
you might die, wake up back in prison again, die
wake up back in prison. Aget I told you you
got two life sentences. Okay, that means reincarnation too.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Plus fifty years plus two fifty years since sometime those
life sentences.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
What if you're dying wake.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Up in a zoom as a cat. Well, they don't
have cats in the zoo. What are you be keeping
in the zoo? Polar bits, I'm just saying that's jail.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
So that is happening in May. And those manslaughter charges,
we're not sure when that's happening, but that that jel
escape sentencing will be happening in May, so we'll follow
that when that happens. And after a heavy start to
the morning, let's shift gears just a little bit to
something a little lighter. Something a lot of people are
quietly dealing with around the holidays, reconsidering old relationships now.
(31:42):
Relationships experts say this is a time of year where
it has people doing a lot of reflecting, something about December,
the lights going up, the year winding down. The sense
of transition makes people start looking backwards, and that's that's
often when old names start popping back up on those phones.
People say that they are hearing from excess former situationships
(32:02):
or someone who ghosted them months ago, with a low
key check in like a hope you're doing well, thinking
of you or a happy Holidays text, And so for
the person on the receiving end those messages, they say
that they can land very differently curiosity for some confusion
for others, or a quick reminder of why the relationship
didn't work in the first place. But experts say these
(32:23):
holiday messages they aren't always about rekindling. Sometimes it's just
about what's familiar. Sometimes it's timing, and sometimes just to
see if the door is still open. So as Christmas
gets closer, those messages tend to pick up, according to experts.
So here's the question this morning, you guys, So is
a holiday check in from an ex? Is that a
(32:43):

And you know what I'm saying, sometimes man, lines crossed.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
You know, I don't think Droe is in the credit
he deserved for the year that he's had. Like there's
been a resurgence even on social media, people like man young.
Speaker 18 (36:07):
Ra Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's sober Drow is a
different it's a different monster.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
And uh and he's definitely man.
Speaker 18 (36:14):
He had a resurgence and turned the life around and
and and had as a discipline about himself.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Now that's much different than before, you know what I mean.

Speaker 18 (37:04):
I spoke to that. I spoke to Now. I spoke
to Now, I spoke to that. I told him he
can't do it. I said, Man, you can't do that, Bro,
you can't do that. That's that's that's egregiously unfair. You
know what I'm saying, break it down?
Speaker 7 (37:15):
Why?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
And he and he and he said, he said, man,
I don't care about that.
Speaker 7 (37:19):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (37:22):
I said, man, now, but you can't do that. And
I just keep saying it. And you know, we're gonna
have a We're actually gonna do it. Expeditiously about it,
because I think he need to be like walked through
like historically, why it matters so much? You know what
I'm saying, your favorite Yeah, I mean that's fine.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I mean that's.
Speaker 18 (37:40):
Fine, but that but but that still doesn't it doesn't
take away or justify the blatant disregard for you know,
the predecessors. Uh and uh, especially like the guard im
ce man. You know what I'm saying, Like even like
you know people, Man, do you Understan and this is
where it started?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
He's like, Man, I don't care where it started about
what I like, but you have is on what he likes.
That's cool, but he just got to remember where they
started from, where Jays got his from, where these people.
Speaker 18 (38:15):
I think what we what we failed to realize is
in the age of Internet, people are just not careful
with what they say anymore. And Uh, I think that's
something that people of our generation just got to get
used to.
Speaker 16 (38:26):
Twenty one was talking about that on the Big Bank
Interview the Internet, and he actually brought you up. He
said that during your era, y'all didn't have to really
deal with the Internet trying to tell people who y'all
were and just like saying crazy things. So it's a
little different for people.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
Now.
Speaker 18 (38:39):
See, it wasn't the internet we had, you know, Wendy
Will Charlamagne and you know what I'm saying telling us,
you know what I'm saying, we had, We had our
set of challenges, you know, our share of you know,
our share.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Of obstacles to overcome. Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
It's just it's just.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Like the success of that.
Speaker 18 (38:55):
People seeing how successful you can become doing that, it
made everybody say that to me taking a step further,
I say, I say this, you know what I mean,
and they just they forget about all these all the
people stop getting hitting the face, you see, I'm saying, like,
people stop.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Getting hit in the face.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Like you can't hit the way you get them to
hit him.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
At man, you catch people everywhere. Man, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (39:22):
We all sharing this big ball of dirt together. You
never know where you kiss somebody?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Man, you like, oh Dad, go shout it right there.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 18 (39:30):
And I think that's okay. I think we should normalize
getting hit in the face again because I'm not shooting
you know what I.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Mean, No shooting, no killing him, just bow because that's what.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
I watch your mouth. I respect it more when a
person says whatever they want to say to the person,
and if the person gets hitting the face, they're still
staying on with.
Speaker 18 (39:46):
That, right, because you get hitting the face and you
still say it.
Speaker 13 (39:52):
Still I don't care.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
You hit hard, but still, hey.

Speaker 3 (41:06):

And then you got on.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
The whole story. So yeah, listen, come, my wife is
going through. I stepped out and I was hurt, and
your brother over there, Charlamare was like, you hurt, you
should call up live on the radio and apologize. And
I was at my lowest moment and I thought my
brother was picking me up, so I did it.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I didn't really know what was going on.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Now, you didn't understand that.
Speaker 18 (42:19):
You understand thinking ratings, Yeah, that man was thinking business
were like, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Know what you should live on. I didn't have nothing
to say, you know, but sorry, So I'm trying to
just say words. Charlamage behind me, like, oh you got
this broke? Yeah, yeah, like a friend, like a friend,
like a friend.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
At what point did you realize comedy wasn't just a
side question for you with something you wanted to take seriously?
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Yeah, we gotta say we got to drop a bomb
for him, because at one time they do this for comedy,
they thought it was gonna be like a little hobby
that you did for a couple of months and then
get out of it. But yeah, I gotta thank the
haters for that.
Speaker 18 (42:59):
Becau I under sleep would not him taking it so seriously.
You know what I'm saying that people weren't telling me
how much they didn't want me to do it.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (43:08):
I'm really I'm real hard headed, strecking my way like that,
you know what I'm saying. It's kind of like it
kind of it put me in the mind of the
King of the South moment, you know what I mean.
You know when I came out, I was saying King
of the South, and you know, it was just something
I said in the rhyme.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
You know what I'm saying. I was really just popping it.
Speaker 18 (43:22):
And you know, people out up and on, Oh you can't,
you can't, you can't the hell I can't. You know,
I felt the need to defend my right to to
portray it and also to justify my reason for saying it.
And that's the same way I feel I felt with comedy.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
That was another conversation that came up recently was on
on Manny and Juvenile's podcast with DC. I think it
was DC Chico all the calls was there, but it
was the Mount Rushmore the South, what about it? I
don't think you can have it without you being on it.
But I appreciate that, man, I really do.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Man. You see, prison has taught me some things.
Speaker 18 (44:00):
It just taught me that it's just so many more
important things.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Than just stuff about other people's opinion.
Speaker 18 (44:06):
And I'm happy to just even be here, be alive,
be free, let alone, be successful and still relevant and
still having your name mentioned amongst the greats.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
Brou but that that that just ain't important to me,
and I got to be on that for me.
Speaker 18 (44:22):
Yeah, Scarface is all around, you know, top five to me,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
And Outcast, yeah, three thousand as well.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
That's where it get difficult when you start talking about
the groups, because they definitely, Yeah.
Speaker 18 (44:33):
I think outcare. I think outcasts should occupy one spot.
I think you know what I'm saying. I think outcast.
I feel the same about Goodie Mob. You know what
I'm saying. I feel like they and Wu Tang you
know what I'm saying, and my deep you know what
I mean. I feel like the groups, the iconic groups,
they should occupy one spot.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
You dig what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (44:53):
But it's so many dope individuals that came out in
the in the era that that you know, we grew
up in and so many dope individuals is coming out now,
So do you mix the two?
Speaker 16 (45:07):
And it's like how you talk about it too, like
how you talk about it too, because like Gucci Geez,
people will argue like do you put both of those
on the.
Speaker 9 (45:16):
But that's it's like different conversations of like.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Who they can't say you don't get that, you know
when you have the Mount Rushmore. To me, it's the
person who laid the foundation for whatever it is you
do when you talk about trap music.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yes, and on a Mount Rushmore, I didn't say that.
See how you see how she did?
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Yeah, that would that? That would that, that would the investigator.
You say you was out there, You say you was
out there at around what time?
Speaker 7 (45:45):
You say? You say who? You say?
Speaker 3 (45:47):
You say charlamage with you? What you said you had
a bag? And what what what was in the bag?
Speaker 7 (45:52):
Nah?
Speaker 17 (45:52):
For real?
Speaker 3 (45:53):
But now I ain't saying that.
Speaker 18 (45:54):
What I said was he said that you don't get
you don't get Gucci and Jesus with that's it.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
I think you you still got them.
Speaker 18 (46:01):
I don't know if it would have been as kind
of consolidated and you know what I'm saying, and if
it would have been received the same things, you feel
what I'm saying. Uh, but you still get them, and
they still cause they had their own story.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
They story didn't come from me. Their story came from them.
Speaker 18 (46:17):
I think the way the rest of the world outside
of our city received their story, you know, became a
little more acceptable because it had already been a door
that was open.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
You did a big dog, don't boys in the trap man.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (46:33):
See.
Speaker 3 (46:33):
I try to keep away from being self gratuitous.
Speaker 18 (46:35):
You know what I'm saying. I try to you know
what I'm saying. I mean because as big as trap
music here right now, you know what I'm saying, I
didn't do that by myself.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
You know what I'm saying. It's songs that I probably
wouldn't have never made. You did. And and it's other people.
Speaker 18 (46:48):
That have stories and have tastes in their beat selection,
in their cadences, you know, in their uh, their their
their collaborations with other artists that just pushed trap music.
That's taking it from where I where I brought it
to and expanded it and you know, and diversified it
and so it has evolved to a place right now
(47:09):
where I couldn't imagined it being.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
So I can't take credit for the whole thing.
Speaker 18 (47:13):
I just I'm just happy that I was able to
plan a seed for something that grew to be what
it is today.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
You laid the foundation when it comes to comedy, right,
A lot of people chase it for validation. What were
you chasing when you first stepped on stead therapy?
Speaker 3 (47:28):
Mm? Yeah, therapy?
Speaker 18 (47:29):
Man. You know what I'm saying, I was going through
I was going through some I was going through a
a I don't not just a difficult.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
Time, but a time that I wasn't used to. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (47:39):
I was being like, I don't have things said about
me that I never imagine having said in public about
me before.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
And people were like really like serious about it.
Speaker 18 (47:49):
You know what I'm saying, And that was something I
I You know that that weighed on me.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
You know what I'm saying for a while.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
You know, you get no apology. Nobody ever says you
know what.
Speaker 18 (47:58):
I don't home them mean, they keep the same energy,
keep on pushing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Cool?
Speaker 18 (48:04):
You know that's a great way to exit my life.
I love it, you know what I mean. I need
to make room for the new.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
And the most difficult part about it, right, it was
the most difficult part not seeing those individuals, hearing friends
and family talk about it, or your kids. What was
the most difficult times.
Speaker 18 (48:20):
I think the most difficult part about it was, you know,
I've experienced tragedy, I guess for the most part on
my own, you know what I'm saying, Like, well, I
had to go through it by myself, and when you're
going through somebody yourself, you know, of course it's difficult,
the lonely part of being by yourself, but it's also
easier because you only have to worry about.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
What you do with how you feel and what you
think and what you know what I'm saying. So experiencing
it as a family was different for me.
Speaker 18 (48:49):
You feel me because that's the kind of thing that
I always felt like, you know, I bear the brunt
of all that for them, You feel me, So, you
know what I'm saying, That was that was the difficult part.
But I think outside of that, bro it was just
man like, you know, I've I've I poured a lot
of myself, my time for energy, attention and to present
(49:11):
myself as a man of respect, you know what I'm saying,
as a provider, protector, as a you know what I'm saying,
as someone who can be held in high regard in
the community, as a certain type of person.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
And so for that to be like like yeah.
Speaker 18 (49:25):
Yeah, yeah, I call that what we say, you know
what I'm saying, I'm like, oh, man, for real, yo,
that's wild. So, you know, and then I had to
remind myself that, you know, it's more important things out
there than other people's opinion. You know, my truth would
never would never, huh step down so their fantasy can live, absolutely,
you know what I mean. So but but but comedy
(49:48):
helped me, you know what I'm saying, take it a
lot less serious.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
And kept me from controlling on the internet.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
I was arguing with what was we arguing about with TI?
Because you know, I always say t I needed.
Speaker 9 (49:59):
Versus King of the South just so people can be it.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
Was because I don't I think there's a generation that
either forgets or doesn't realize how big t I the
Rapper was.
Speaker 9 (50:14):
Marco plus it was, yeah, he said, was the King
of the South.
Speaker 16 (50:19):
And Paul and you know, Charlamae goes off about t
I I.
Speaker 18 (50:25):
Wish, I wish, thank you, thank you, but I wish
I care. I'd be trying to make myself care and
I can't. Man, I just know it's so many more
important things. Bro, I don't care.
Speaker 12 (50:34):
Man.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
What I did is done. You hear me? It done.
Speaker 16 (50:38):
It was like he was standing on his business about
j Cole in the conversation. By the end he was like, well,
you know what, I am from Atlanta and this and I.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
That at and a rapper and don't know how his.
Speaker 9 (50:49):
TI was like, but also his age as well too.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
At the same time.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
Man, but he said you were his favorite rapper, which
didn't make no sense to me. Was one of my
favorite rabbers.
Speaker 18 (50:58):
Okay, so but but so people will probably they they
as they consume J Cole probably is what he has
been consuming the most as of recent So you know
what I'm saying, that's what you what you are consuming
presently is what's gonna have the most impact.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
On your decisions, on your opinions. So that probably what
that is.
Speaker 18 (51:18):
It ain't you know, and both it ain't got to
be wrong, you know. If that's if that's who the
King of the South feel to him and enjoy that kingdom.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Yeah, but even levels of celebrity, right, number one movie
and number one album at the same goddamn time.
Speaker 3 (51:31):
I mean, bro, come on, man, that's different. God has
been good to me. You feel what I'm saying. God
has been good to me.
Speaker 18 (51:40):

Speaker 7 (57:34):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (57:37):
You won't catch hell with t I in the verses.
I'm just trying to tell y'all now, I don't care
who it is.
Speaker 3 (57:43):
I would love to see that man and t I.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Actually need the verses because y'all need to remind them, right,
y'all need to remind them the catalog of one clipp
of iris.
Speaker 15 (57:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (57:51):
One thing t I did say in that interview is
he said he heard that jay Z and Lil Wayne
were going to do a versus. So I wonder how
that is. I just wonder how accurate that is if
he heard it, he heard it from somebody.
Speaker 1 (58:02):
I'd rather see t I versus A little way, jay
Z versus No.
Speaker 6 (58:06):
Make a lot more point.
Speaker 1 (58:07):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 3 (58:08):
I don't even think j would get on that stage.
I just don't see like that doesn't seem like something
Jay would do.
Speaker 9 (58:12):
Well, I just wrote the question down, So errors, right, question?
Speaker 6 (58:16):
Two different airs?
Speaker 7 (58:17):
Are there?
Speaker 6 (58:17):
Is there verses?
Speaker 1 (58:18):
For real? It's two different errors. No, no, no, I
mean lou Waye been around in nineteen ninety seven. I
don't think people would maybe just so young, there's been
a lot of different variations A little way.
Speaker 7 (58:31):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (58:32):
Okay, all right, well let's get to the latest. Lauren
be coming the street fast man. She gets them somebody
that knows somebody, she gets to detail.
Speaker 9 (58:41):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 1 (58:44):
She'd be having the latest on this.
Speaker 7 (58:47):
The latest with Lauren la Rossa.
Speaker 1 (58:49):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 7 (58:52):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 16 (58:57):
Okay, guys. So Taylor Swift she did some gifting and
this is something that she does. She's done before. She
did it a few years ago. But she gifted her
team reportedly over one hundred and ninety seven million dollars
and holiday bonuses.
Speaker 3 (59:10):
One hundred and ninety seven million.
Speaker 16 (59:12):
Yeah, So this is the team that works on her
errors tours. So it's a big team. So this goes
from everybody that contributed to the Coulture so production staff, assistance,
the carpenters, dancers, band members. So she released a clip
on Friday from a documentary series that she does. It's
called The End of an Era and this was the
second episode and she is recording as she's giving out
the bonuses.
Speaker 9 (59:31):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 12 (59:32):
Bonus Day is so important because setting a precedent with
the Eras tour is really important to me because people
who work on the road, if the tour gross is more,
they get more of a bonus. And these people just
work so hard and they are the best at what
they do. So every single person on the crew, I've
hand written them a note. It took me a couple
of weeks, but it's fun to write the notes. It's
(59:53):
like fun to think about everybody's lives that they're going
to go back to in the time off they're going
to have, and the you know, the kids they haven't
seen because they've been away from months and making that
worthwhile for them. It feels like Christmas morning when you
finally get to say thank you. Everybody has the same
message on their card, so I was hoping you could
open it.
Speaker 7 (01:00:09):
My full gratitude doesn't come from a thing. But here's wow.
Now just the same things. Loved it.
Speaker 16 (01:00:24):
Out because he was talking about the money number. So
let's be clear how much get Okay, so I don't.
They bleeped it out, so we don't know exactly. But
back okay, So the air tour has been happening for
a few years, right, So this is a different leg
of the tour. So on August of twenty twenty three,
she wrapped the first North American leg of the tour,
and back then people confirm People magazine that she had
(01:00:46):
given out more than fifty five million dollars in bonuses.
And now this is the second leg of this tour.
And this doesn't even just include the people I mentioned.
It also includes like the people who are during wardrobe,
the physical therapists, even the truck drivers who are driving
things around for like production of the sets.
Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
If there's one hundred people on this tour, she gave
out a one point nine million in each person.
Speaker 16 (01:01:05):
There's way more than one hundred people, is what I'm
trying to tell you. Towards a huge production, and it's
been over the different legs and over the amount of years.
Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Basically the toy seening expectations. They made more money than
they thought they would make sure eving people bonuses. That's
a beautiful thing.
Speaker 9 (01:01:17):
Yeah, great, yeah, yeah, hired. He hadn't got a wedding.
Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
You never know, he's prepared up.
Speaker 6 (01:01:33):
He got a wedding.
Speaker 16 (01:01:34):
The page and I want to correct his name to Jamon.
Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Just had to come back and play football. This man
got ten kids. He had to come back and play football.
Anybody had time to be on the sidelines, okay, because
they got no jobs right right out there it is.
Speaker 9 (01:01:49):
It's very tough out there.
Speaker 16 (01:01:50):
But shout out to tell the Swift for taking care
of her people because a lot of those people get overlooked.
Now in other conversations about performances and shows, you guys know,
the Boy's Mind tour wrapped over the weekend that I
don't know what they gave out in bonuses, but I
was I'm bringing that in because Matthew knows that down
for a conversation, and in this conversation he talks about
(01:02:13):
being overlooked, and he says that he thinks he's overlooked
as you know, Beyonce's manager and Destiny Shop manager because
he's a black father.
Speaker 9 (01:02:20):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
Yonce was the number one female artist of the decade
from two thousand to two thousand and nine. Don't take
my word, just go research it. Guess who was the
number one female.
Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Group in the world.
Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
But the other part of that, if I was a
white manager, oh beause considered the number one manager ever.
Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
So I never get that respect. That's why.
Speaker 20 (01:02:48):
Why do you think that? Because or is it because
your daddy too? Your black fathers.
Speaker 7 (01:02:55):
They don't give a.
Speaker 20 (01:02:55):
Lot of father's credit, bro for what they've done, but
they gave him credit, I said, for a father and
being black. Because even if you look at Brandy's mother,
like we all know that she was the beast behind
the scenes.
Speaker 7 (01:03:09):
He never told me about mother.
Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and Insane manager was black.
Speaker 20 (01:03:17):
Yes, I don't know, Yeah, sure, I never know.
Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Like that, how you think Joe Jacksonville.
Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
I was literally about to see j Jessica Simpson's father.
Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Was talking about heard that.
Speaker 16 (01:03:33):
That was Heineken. That was the backfield guys. That was
the interview that they did. I didn't mention in the beginning. Apologies,
but I feel like Joe Jackson gets mentioned all the
time in a good way.
Speaker 9 (01:03:42):
But he still gets mentioned a good way.
Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Not for the success that it's always for being too stern,
too strict and all that.
Speaker 16 (01:03:49):
I mean, it's sad, but I mean, at least he's
being mentioned. It started making me think about people. What's
because like what.
Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
I mean, I'm I'm with you, I'm with you. I'm like,
I've always heard about Joe Jackson. We know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (01:04:03):
Myself, my personal ears have not always heard bad things
about him until the movie came.
Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
I mean, like he had them boys, like he's responsible.
Speaker 9 (01:04:12):
They were, how disciplined they are and how they're.
Speaker 6 (01:04:14):
Structured and everything.
Speaker 9 (01:04:16):
I get it, get it.
Speaker 6 (01:04:17):
But I've heard about things.
Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
I've heard good and bad things about John took their
childhood away.
Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
We that Matthew knows what he accomplished with Destiny's Child
is fantastic. But Joe Jackson gave us the Jackson five.
That was like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Tito Jackson. Yep,
God blessed death.
Speaker 16 (01:04:34):
But I also started thinking about other managers that don't
get mentioned that are just black, but black men and women.
Speaker 9 (01:04:40):
Because he mentioned Usher Usher's mama.
Speaker 16 (01:04:42):
She did like a whole series with own talking about
how she was so instrument on his career in the
beginning and just being one of the first people to
get like an office in a studio and a music
studio all in one. I feel like Mama Scott Young
doesn't get mentioned a lot too, with different artists that
she worked with, Missy Elliott, that's around.
Speaker 9 (01:04:58):
She works with Tyrege right now.
Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
She used to be a manager, Yes, Chris l it
was ll cool J.
Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
That she did. She started loving hip hop.
Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Yeah, but she knew.
Speaker 6 (01:05:13):
Yeah, that's what I know.
Speaker 16 (01:05:14):
But that's I feel like a lot of people know
her for that, but they don't connect the dots of
like the big music executive career.
Speaker 9 (01:05:20):
She had before coming.
Speaker 16 (01:05:21):
We do, y'all, but y'all are older, but y'all are
also entrenched in like entertainment was read.
Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
You know the content power session you look at the
bottom of you see your name on it.
Speaker 16 (01:05:29):
I know that but a lot of people don't shout
out to I think it's moaning me. Shout some moaning
me productions. I know that, but a lot of people don't.
They don't mention it when they bring her to me.
Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Entertainment, also to acting, like the manager role is a
role that gets a lot of credit period Like man
managers are usually the unsung heroes.
Speaker 16 (01:05:45):
Yeah, but now they're becoming more like. Scooter Broun is
a fan. A lot of people know his name.
Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
The school has done a lot of outside of management.
Speaker 16 (01:05:51):
Though, but still I mean, but still people know Scooter
Bron's name, and he's not an artist.
Speaker 9 (01:05:56):
He doesn't get on stage and performing.
Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Think about of that. Also, still think a lot of
that is inside baseball as well. You got a favorite person,
who the hell Scooter Bron is?
Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Probably?
Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
Yeah, I mean, I'm tired of being the one that
don't look like they don't know nothing. But yeah, I've
heard Scooter Broun, but don't know who he is exactly.
Speaker 16 (01:06:13):
Well, uh, they got some credit today. Shout out to
Matthew Knows and all the work he that he has
put in now in the next hour, because we didn't
get to it here and some of the things we
were talking about.
Speaker 9 (01:06:23):
Speaking of Brandy Monica. Ray j is standing on his.
Speaker 16 (01:06:27):
Rico claims against the Kardashians and he's blaming chat GPT,
So we will talk all about that.

for a new beginning for South Carolina. We've seen some
crazy stuff happening in the state.
Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Uh we know.
Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
South Carolina has over six hundred unsolved murders just since
twenty twenty alone. We have the highest percentage of bridges
and disappear in the entire country. Our roads are the
top two worst than the entire country and most dangerous
in the entire country. But yet we have leaders in
South Carolina that want to look at other states and
look at other countries and talk trash about them, when
really South Carolina needs all the assistants that they can
(01:08:13):
get right about now. And we have a governor that
decided to send our National guardsmen to Washington d C
because Donald Trump told them to do. So, you know,
it's time for somebody who really wants to just focus
on the issues that are happened to every day South Carolinians.
Speaker 3 (01:08:24):

Speaker 16 (01:09:54):
I was gonna say, you were the second Democrat to
launch a campaign for governor. Talk to us about just
the feats and the things that are about to be
ahead of you, Like, what are.
Speaker 9 (01:10:04):
You nervous about? What are you excited about about them?
Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
History?
Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Well, I'm not I'm not really nervous about anything. The
people all across South Carolina, they want to see something different.
They've been excited ever since I decided to announce my
run for governor because they know I've been the one
who's been fighting on the but half for years now.
I think most of y'all probably saw that d I
speech that I did that has been seeing by over
about seven million people at this point. People all across
this country decided to reach out to me and say, Jermaine,
(01:10:29):
and we would love for you to run for higher office,
to do something. So the people South Carolina just ready
for something different. I will be the second black nominee
in the history of South Carolina. That is a that's
a big deal right now. And even if you know, boy,
even if I don't win, uh, some young boy or
some young girl will look at me and say, man,
I can now be that guy. I like, it's possible
(01:10:50):
I can grow up to be him when I you know,
when to get up there. So you know, I went
to seven different high schools. I had a you know,
I had a point a GPA my freshman year of
high school. I was home almost most of my upbringing.
I lived in motels. Yeah the point eight man, Yeah, Yeah,
I lived in motels. I lived in an Evergreen motel,
a travelodge in and all these different places and slept
(01:11:10):
on friends couches and things like that. But yet I
still was able to graduate, still was able to go
to college, still was able to get my doctors, still
was able to be a professional athlete.
Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
You know, a whole bunch of stuff, so kids know
it's possible. You know, you mentioned the highways in South Carolina.
Anybody that's been to South Carolina, you just see how
much is growing, right, Like, I mean, traffic is crazy
and chalk and traffic is crazy in places like Mounts Corner.
Does the state have the profit profit infrastructure to accommodate
the growing popular Heck no, man, And I know you've
seen it yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
Man, Listen, anybody who was driven between South Carolina and
North Carolina. You can literally see the line in the
road about how bad it is, like you can feel that,
you can feel how bad it is. And because people
are dying every single day, this is why our insurance
is so hot, Like car insurances continues to go up,
and it's partly because of how bad our infrastructure is.
And we're not truly addressing these issues. People are eyeing
(01:12:00):
every single day on these roads. Man, and until we
start to take this thing serious, you know, I don't
know what I don't know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
I was gonna ask, you know, you talk about the murders,
you talk about the roads. What's the first thing you
want to do when you get in office?
Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Well, the biggest thing I'm all about is mental health.
I traveled the state about a year and a half
ago with a bunch of former gang members Bloods and
Cribs and gds, and we went to different communities where
they felt disenfranchised, and we asked them, well, how can
we solve the issues in your communities? And these are
places that were not in my district. I went all
over the state and went about thirty different counties, and
every last county said mental health, every last one that
(01:12:36):
mental health, mental health.
Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Because of these kids are out here.
Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Then, you know, we have a bunch of people who
are running around with undiagnosed mental health concerns, and then
they're raising kids now also with undiagnosed mental health concerns.
And then we also have given them access to guns
by the constitution to carry and all those different types
of things.
Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
So it's caused so many problems. Well, I want to
make sure that.
Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
Police officers actually have the support in terms of having
a mental health provider on, you know, on the staff
with them. I want to make sure that the schools
have mental health workers in every single district in the state.
Speaker 7 (01:13:05):
I want to make sure people have that work now.
Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
Andrew Yang is also a support and Andrew Yang get
up man.
Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
So in twenty nineteen, when I was looking at who
all gonna support for President of the United States, I
was actually a Corey Boker supporter.
Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
Shout out to Corey Booker. But what Corey Booker was.
Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Talking about wasn't really, in my opinion, talking about solutions.
And then I came across the Agent God talk about
he wanted to give everybody a thousand dollars a month.
And when I thought about it, I said, man, on
thousand dollars a month would have really changed my life,
Like it would have kept me out out of those hoods,
would have kept me out of living in those motels.
That would have really changed everything about me. And when
I met him, it was like he was talking about
(01:13:42):
AI and all these other things that literally we are
seeing every single day now. Like everything he said he
was right about everything, and That's what led me to him,
and I said, man, I'm gonna go ahead and help you,
and we've been friends ever since.
Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
You talk a lot about the economic empowerment. What's this
specific plan to bring like real investment, real jobs, you know,
real entrepreneurship into rural counties in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Well, one of the things that I've already done is
in my district, I created something the Lower Rich and
Tech Academy. And what that does is it teaches low
coding and no coding technologies to the people in the
rural community and allows them to start their own entrepreneur
businesses in those areas. So in East Over, South Carolina,
we have started at least forty different small businesses right
(01:14:23):
there in that rural area needs a majority of black
and brown people that started these different businesses down there.
I want to take that entire program across the state.
I also want to work on this my South Carolina
Resiliency Act. So what that's going to do is going
to mandate South Carolina to be able to produce or
manufacture at least twenty five percent of the resource that
we need in South Carolina. Right now, South Carolina only
(01:14:45):
produces eleven percent of the food that we consume every
single year, eleven percent is not enough. So we have
to import all of our food from other states, from
other countries. I want to say, listen, let's produce our
own stuff. What that's going to do is that's going
to help out our rural communities as well as our farmers,
to put them back to work, allow them to expand
the farms, and say, listen, we're gonna we're gonna get
our own produce from the people who are right here
(01:15:05):
in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
When did you learn to start projecting your boys every
time you want to push up?
Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
Man, listen, Well, I actually I got a degree in communications,
but my thing was always yeah, they.
Speaker 7 (01:15:24):
Always said I was loud. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I've always been a loud speaker. They've always confused me
with saying, hey, man, you talk a lout like now.
I don't talk a lot. I just talk loud, you know.
And I want to be heard. I need to be
heard when I'm speaking up for people.
Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
So people always ask, if you do become governor, what
we said, when you do become governor, how would be work?
How would you work with Donald Trump?
Speaker 7 (01:15:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
Man, listen, man, you're gonna bring that man up up ahead, man, listen.
So my thing is and what I've told everybody, I
don't care who's in the White House. I don't care
if it's Republican, I don't care if it's a Democrat
in the White House. If it's not good for South Carolina,
I'm not supporting it. I'm truly South Carolina. First, we
have these crazy people who are running for all office
to call themselves Trump Conservatives.
Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
I was like, what the hell is a Trump conservative?
Speaker 7 (01:16:04):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Like, you know, you let one man define what a
conservative is. And that's the problem. So if Donald Trump
wants to do good for South Carolina, I will gladly
work with them. If he wants to do bad, I'll
gladly stand against them. And I've been an independent thinker.
I don't care you know what party you decide to
be with. If it's not good for the people of
South Carolina, I'm not supporting it.
Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
What's your plan? The overhaul education? So students graduate in
South Carolina either career ready, college ready, our business ready.
Speaker 22 (01:16:29):
You know, we lag behind national average man forty forty
third in the country. Yeah, it's bad, man, and we
haven't we haven't done anything about it. So, you know,
places like Greenville are receiving more funds than places like Denmark, right,
so we have an issue where we're not funding these
schools adequately. So I want to do a full on
public education audit. What I want to do is I
(01:16:52):
want to compare the rural schools or that are well
performing with the rural schools that are poor performing, and
the urban schools with the you know, the urban schools
that are well.
Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Perform with the urban schools that are poor performing.
Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
I want to look at the administration and overhead and
to see if there's any waste for spending with the administration.
And I also want to look at teacher pay. I
want to look at all that and compare them all
across the entire state and create this After this entire audit,
I want to get all the information together and then
make best practices from there, so to make sure that
we have all the information we need to make the
best decision. Right now, we're not doing anything. We're just
(01:17:24):
looking at social issues. We're more concerned with banning books
in South Carolina. Were the number one state of banned
books South Carolina is we want to look at all
the crazy stuff going on instead of actually investing, we
want to take away public school money and give it
the private damn schools.
Speaker 7 (01:17:38):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
I mean, that is a problem right there. And in
these private schools, if you want to send your kid
to this private school, they literally can say your kid
can't come to the private school, but my kid can come.
But your tax dollars is gonna pay for my kid
to go to the private school that jo kid can't.
Speaker 7 (01:17:52):
Even get to.
Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
And that's a problem in South Carolina. So we have
to truly look at public education to make sure we're
fixing and addressing these issues.
Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
That's the one thing the governors do wrong. The governor
right now, what's one thing that he's doing wrong. If
you could pick out all the things, one thing that
really works.
Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
You kissing Donald Trump's butt.
Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
I mean, I mean, just to be honest, he sent
two hundred of our National guardsmen to Washington, d C.
And when he sent them up there, what they're doing
is they're literally on the side of the road picking
up trash in DC right now. Well, if those two
hundred National guardsmen didn't have anything to do, well, how
come they're not in South Carolina helping us solve those
six hundred unsolved murders that I talked about, like they
(01:18:29):
could they could have easily been put to work doing
something better for the people of South Carolina. But no,
every time Donald Trump calls, he answers. And that's the
problem that we have. We need to be addressing these
issues that are in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
But when the president calls, aren't you supposed answer them?
Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
You were supposed to answer, but you don't got to
like do everything that this man say every time he
say send you, I mean, and he did it during
hurricane season.
Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
I mean, I mean, come on, man.
Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Like we're sitting in a situation where it could be
seriously dangerous putting more South Carolinians at risk because you
want to appease one man.
Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
That's the problem.
Speaker 6 (01:18:59):
What would be the consequence saying no to him?
Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
You're just not going to be best friends with them anymore.
I mean, I'm i'm you can stop federal funding.
Speaker 16 (01:19:07):
You can get your resources for like when there's like
emergencies in South Carolina, or even funding for like the
schools and stuff that you're talking about right now.
Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Yeah, I mean, he could talk about it. He could
talk about all different types of federal funding issues. But
we're seeing federal funding cuts already, so I mean that
doesn't really matter. He's gonna cut us in ways if
he doesn't like us, you know, and he might threaten
once I become governor, he might threaten to cut funding
in there anyways, just because I'm a black Democrat, you
know what I'm saying, D, Right, But I always listen
called me D. I definitely earned it, So I mean
(01:19:36):
that's the type of person I am.
Speaker 16 (01:19:37):
So how do you make sure that, like when you
go in and do all the testing in those schools
and you, you know, raise those numbers to get the
funding and stuff, that the teachers are still really connected
to the students Because I've been like I went to
an inner city school, and when we got more better numbers,
score numbers, test numbers, more money, the teachers they brought
in were so disconnected from us, Like it changed the
environment of the school and it was like it caused
(01:20:00):
more students to not come back to the school. And
I think that happens a lot, especially in the inner
city school So how do you like do good in
those schools? Will also make sure that the teachers are
still like invested in.
Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
The students, right, well, the thing is, you have to
make sure that you are connected with the school. So
one thing that I've done, even as a state representative,
I decided to go and become a substitute teacher.
Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
So I wented to the public schools to go.
Speaker 2 (01:20:26):
Yeah, it is, I do a lot, but I wanted
to go in there because I wanted the teachers to
one know that I cared. I wanted the kids to
be able to see me and say, man, like, that's
a state representative.
Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
He's a politician, but.
Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Yet he's still like he's one of us, and I
can beat him when I can see him and I
could touch him, you know. So I went in there
to really assess the situation. And I think you lead
by example. And I don't plan to stop any of
the work that I'm doing once I become governor. I
plan to continue on going into the schools. I plan
to continue on going in there and advocating for them.
I even fought a bill that would mandate that the
(01:20:59):
members of the General sim would have to do at
least five days a year of volunteering or substitute teaching
in the public schools because I needed to see it.
Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Yeahs now, we always talk about trade schools, right, I'm
a salute to Lincoln Tech. I'm an ambassador for Lated Tech.
I love trade schools, but you really love trade schools.
Explain why why do you think trade schools are so necessary?
Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
Well, I mean, listen, we put too much emphasis on
this for your institutions.
Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
I think if you're not an athlete, or you're not
going to be a lawyer or a doctor, you should
be looking at trade schools. And we have allowed people
to really just keep over selling these for year institutions
all the time, and trade schools. We have a lack
of workers right now. We have a lack of electricians.
We have a lack of plumbers, we have a lack
of engineers. You know, my son right now is going
(01:21:44):
to men this Technical college to get his megatronics degree
right now. Because Scott Motors needs some more workers that's.
Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Coming to South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Michelin said about sixty five percent of their workforce for
retiring over the next few years. We have a lack
of these industrial workers, and I think we need to
put the embassies. I'm mean, people could come out of
these schools, these trade schools making eighty five thousand dollars
after two years. I mean, they'd be nineteen years old, man, Like.
You got to think about that, you know, helping these
kids to learn how to invest in their futures.
Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
I got cousins man in Monks Corner who were doing
hvactor as soon as they got out of high school. Damn,
mister mill in twenty five years right right. And I
love the conversations you're having because you're talking about economic depownerment,
You're talking about mental health, you know something else. You're
talking about trade schools. Like all of that stuff, to
me is just about affordability and how to keep people safe.
(01:22:35):
Why is that so hard for politicians? It's life aining complicated.
People just want some more money in their pocket and
they want to feel.
Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Safe because they allow on Fox News and Seeing them
to be the driving talking point. And I think that's
the problem. We do the same thing in South Carolina.
The Republicans they quote Fox News, Democrats quote seeing them,
you know, and I think we need to get away
from that. I think we need to get back to
addressing the issues. I mean, I'm all about affordability. People
are hungry, man like, people are starving out here. We
(01:23:02):
don't even have a minimum wage in South Carolina. Like
people always say, let's let's raise minimum wage, we don't
have one. We have to establish the minimum wage before
we can raise the dame minimum wage, you know. So,
I mean it's interes like that in minimum wage is
seven twenty five. Who was living off a seven twenty five?
Speaker 7 (01:23:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
I mean, we have these issues all over the place,
and I don't know why people want to hit on
these big social issues and talk about abortion every single
year and talk about you know, guns every single year.
I mean, man, people just people want the same thing.
They want food, they want safety, they want good schools,
they want good roads, they want good jobs.
Speaker 13 (01:23:37):
All right, Well, he's running for governor of South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Make sure you get out there and vote and support
my man to do How can they donate?
Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
Man, listen, I need everybody to go to Johnson for
SC dot com, jail h N s O n f
O r SC dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
We got to raise money, y'all.
Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
You know, y'all know that as a black guy running
for governor of South Carolina, being the second but the
second nominee in the history of South Carolina. Uh, we
need to raise as much money as possible. I mean, honestly,
y'all got over six million viewers right now, right and
at the Breakast Club, my bad.
Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
Eight there you go.
Speaker 7 (01:24:09):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
If all eight million people just gave a dollar, we
would have more than enough money to become governors South Carolina.
But listen, what we we need five dollars, ten dollars,
twenty dollars. This is a real grassroots movement and we
want to go grassroots to grassroos funded.
Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
And that's just for radio that don't sound like the
YouTube and the podcast. We'll get We'll get them, we'll
get it.
Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
We'll get them all to give a dollar, man, get
them all to give a dollar or get him want to.
Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
Give twenty dollars? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
What what the hell is a guy?
Speaker 7 (01:24:41):

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
No, no, you gotta stop.
Speaker 7 (01:24:45):
You got you.
Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
If you are a man, you should not have a
homeboy whose nickname is Belly.
Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
But no, the chat. The guy's chat's name is dj
mv's bully Bob Bro. I just said, what's something.
Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
A little bit like what's up? Belly? But if somebody

say yo, and he said, what's up, belly button? That's
a guy on the check Logan, put your daddy on

she gets somebody that knows, somebody gets the detail.
Speaker 16 (01:25:25):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
And she'd be having the latest on the.
Speaker 7 (01:25:32):
Latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of every time it's.
Speaker 7 (01:25:37):
The latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 16 (01:25:42):
What I know you We got a lot to get through.
Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (01:25:48):
So before we get to the ray j story that
I teased in the last hour, I did want to
take a second to send a rest in peace to
Rob Renner and his wife Michelle. So this story is
still developing us. Some of the details are still not confirmed,
but what is confirmed is that Rob Renner and his
wife Michelle were found dead in their homes in la
with their throats slit, and it's alleged by their daughter
(01:26:10):
that found them that it is a family member that
is responsible. And this is reportedly all coming after an
argument that happened in their home on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
A lot of people might not know so.
Speaker 16 (01:26:21):
Rob Renner is a famous Hollywood director, producer, and actor.
His wife, Michelle, was also a photographer. They met on
the set of When Harry Met Sally, which he directed.
He also directed Princess Bride, A Few Good Men. He's
known actor wise as Mike from All in the Family,
which was Normally's TV sitcom Soup. Yeah, I believe she's
(01:26:41):
from His wife was from New York as well too.
But yeah, one of their daughters found them dead in
their home, and she's the person that told police that
it was probably that it was a family member that
she believed in that this family member. Yes, I was
getting to that. So the daughter, so per reports the daughter.
We don't know if the daughter said the sun, but
People magazine has it confirmed on a few sources that
(01:27:05):
that it may be their son, and police have said
that the son is being questioned questioned, but there has
been no arrested.
Speaker 9 (01:27:10):
Me at the time.
Speaker 16 (01:27:13):
Yeah, family, Yes, Now switching switching gears back to ray
J on the Hollywood News. So you guys remember that
the whole Rico conversation with reg J and the Kardashians RICO.
So ray J just responded via court dos to their
claims of wanting to get rid of his lawsuits. And
(01:27:33):
he's standing on, you know, the fact that he believes
that there was something going on at a time with
the RICO, which is what made him come out and
say the things that he says. Uh, he's saying, Rey
J says, and the docks to me, Kim and Chris
have repeatedly engaged in criminal enterprise and racketeering activity, violating
RICO over and over again.
Speaker 9 (01:27:49):
I have no doubt about that.
Speaker 15 (01:27:51):
Uh.
Speaker 16 (01:27:51):
He continues to compare them to Diddy, who we know
was also prosecuted for RICO.
Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
Uh.
Speaker 16 (01:27:58):
And then he mentions that he went to chat gpt
for help and claims that the chat bot entrenched his
beliefs that Kim and Chris were racketeers because of information
that came up when he taught the chat gpt. So
there's that update for raging. Okay, Yeah, Now, as we
continue on down in the news, more troubled things or
maybe not Trey Songs. So singer Trey Songs was arrested
(01:28:21):
for assault after allegedly punching a New York night club
employee in the face earlier this month. The punching in
the face was earlier this month, but he was in
court yesterday Sunday, and this all happened allegedly after the
club employee told him that.
Speaker 9 (01:28:33):
The club was closing.
Speaker 16 (01:28:35):
So he was partying at a spot called Drama night
Club and according to reports, the nightclub employee came over
and told him around like four to twenty five that
the club was closing, and the alleged he got a raised.
So yesterday he was in court for the assault, and
then he was arraigned on mischief in the second degree
for a separate, unrelated incident at another spot in New
York called.
Speaker 9 (01:28:54):
Mirror later in that morning.
Speaker 16 (01:28:56):
And I did receive a statement from Trey Song's council,
his attorney, Mitchell Schuster, who says Trede Song was charging
connection with the incident that occurred last week. He is
cooperating fully and looks forward to the facts coming to light. Separately,
last night, Trey was confronted by individuals and they allege
that they instigated a confrontation, so this is something separate
and attended to surround him. They say his security got
(01:29:16):
involved and they mentioned that they believe he's a public
figure that is being treated as a target for an
instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gains, and they
are confident that the facts will speak for themselves.
Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
You know the worst thing about these trade song stories
nowadays you don't ever hear trade songs and headlines anymore
for any type of music, when songs without music.
Speaker 9 (01:29:35):
He had a song with ray Ja. Yeah, he had
a song with ra Mber.
Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
That song.
Speaker 16 (01:29:40):
I remember it because they did this on the radar
and ray J was just in the back dancing and
it was pretty entertaining.
Speaker 9 (01:29:46):
I'm gonna look up the song.
Speaker 1 (01:29:47):
So it's it's hard to you know, focus on anything
else excelf for his legal troubles all the time, because
you don't get us nothing else to folks.
Speaker 9 (01:29:53):
Yeah, the songs, it's called Litigan.
Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
I don't remember that song.
Speaker 9 (01:29:56):
Yeah again, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
We need to see talk about Trey's music. Like Trady's
are talented artists and we haven't heard album in a
long time. All we here in is BS.
Speaker 6 (01:30:09):
Yeah, well I'm listening to him. I still listened to Trey.
Speaker 9 (01:30:12):
That's crazy, Oh Trey right, Yeah, me too.
Speaker 16 (01:30:15):
Well, speaking of other artists who get in the headlines
because of, you know, the things surrounding them outside of
their music. Kanye West, So there was a documentary in
whose Name that released in theaters a while back, but
it has now been available made available on streaming. I
watched it last night on Amazon and uh, no, there's
an eighteen he was there's a director who was started
this like years ago when he was eighteen years old,
(01:30:36):
and yeah, there's a whole straight line behind him.
Speaker 9 (01:30:38):
So it wasn't fifty cents. But one of the things.
Speaker 16 (01:30:41):
That I thought was interesting in this doc uh people
used to always talk about how Kanye was didn't have
any people around him when he was going through all
these things to kind of pull him up. There was
a moment in this documentary where Swiss Beats actually tried
to have a conversation with Kanye about the whole Maga
situation before he you know, famously went on snel inspired
without Let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
We both know that that man is undoing for our kin.
Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
I'm talking about what it meant, But why.
Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
Is that it's so fresh? You got his hat on though, No,
it's my hat. I made this version. It's a different shape.
Speaker 23 (01:31:10):
I understand you made the version and shape them in
the craft before the craft. This man is very racist
and there's people that's being killed.
Speaker 6 (01:31:20):
I don't care if I racist, knew more racist than
white people black people.
Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
But you can't do that to the culture. And I
can't tell you what to do, Yeah you can.
Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
I can't tell you what to do.
Speaker 23 (01:31:29):
And this this is your session, This your session. But
we have a brother talking with you. You know what
I'm saying, Like that should be hurting me a little bit,
and it hurt everybody around you.
Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
And they just not not They just not up enough
to tell you.
Speaker 7 (01:31:40):
They keep my thoughts in here.
Speaker 18 (01:31:42):
The hat is like this everything someone else want to
say black white like that it must like not be going.
Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
Is this doc authorized by Kanye? Like did they want
these conversations out?
Speaker 3 (01:31:52):
Like yes?
Speaker 16 (01:31:53):
So this is the director of it is a guy
who was following Kanye around for some years and then
they decided to bring it over into theaters and now
it's hit streaming. So but I will say, in watching
this doc and people have their different take on Kanye
and the things he's done or whatever, it made me
really feel like I hope that he's taking care of himself.
(01:32:14):
In a real way because you got to really see
moments where like he's literally like skitzing out sometimes on
like just family members like that are trying to help him,
like Chris Jenner was trying to help him. At one point,
Kim Kardashian is calling him when he leaves the White
House and she's like, please stop, like I'm begging you,
and she's trying to stand by him for some time,
but I want to take a listen. There was a
moment because there's a conversation around the Kardashians and whether
(01:32:37):
or not they put him in the best position. There
was a moment between Chris Jenner and Kanye West where
he talks about feeling emasculated as a man. Let's take
a listen, y'all demasculated me and made me feel like
a piece of way gotta really because I was medicated.
Speaker 21 (01:32:53):
God would rather be dead, not in jail, because I'd
be this is you on medication?
Speaker 20 (01:33:01):
Do what from the salmony to say that any responsibility
from my hospital visits.
Speaker 18 (01:33:06):
But if you want to go online, that's fifty percent
of what people.
Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
Say at least or maybe in my line.
Speaker 17 (01:33:13):
It doesn't matter my line. It matters to us and you.
It doesn't matter what the Internet says, it matters what
we think.
Speaker 7 (01:33:30):
So what do you think?
Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
Did you have an effect on my mental health?
Speaker 12 (01:33:34):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
Yes, yes, I'm saying yes.
Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
I'll say this when he's screaming like that, he emasculates
himself because he sounded like a little child having a tantrum,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
But yeah, but it's like when you met and when
something like I don't know, man, like.
Speaker 1 (01:33:49):
Can't nobody emasculate you though you either a man and
you're not Like I don't like when people say that
this person emasculated me, Like, no, nobody can do you.
That's it. But but Kanye hasn't had a quiet year,
and I really dope he is. I really hope he's
been getting the healing that he deserves.
Speaker 3 (01:34:04):
I will say this though, salute the Swiss Beats. Swiss
Beats has those Brothers conversations with a lot of people
in the industry a lot of times behind the scenes.
He's the one person you can call all the time
and he'll have a conversation. He'll stop what he's doing
to have a conversation, making sure you're okay. And also,
I hate to give Bay credit, but Babe probably over
here was probably one of the first person to talk.
The told Kanye West to his face that the team
around me, Yeah, tell the man that told him that
(01:34:25):
the people around you are not telling you what's right
and what's wrong, and that he might need to leave
the people around him because they're just yes man. And
he said that the Kanye's fest went Kanye's face when
we I think that the first the second interview with kind.
Speaker 1 (01:34:35):
Of the first time he came up here. Yeah, he
had several conversations, but that was like after that over
the years.
Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
Yeah, that was the first one. You've seen it early,
and I hate to give Bay his credit.
Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
Did twist tell you not to get a those job
because he should have talked to you out of that.
He's just said, looky, get no damn nose job. But
should because I already know what you're planning for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (01:34:53):
I cleaned the problems out my nose. That's all I did.
There was no nose job, there was no cutting, there
was no racing.
