do nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I used to.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I remember all the women used to be like, I'm
pregnant site. That's not funny and it's not believable.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Stress another way, it be stressful, stressful stressful, yes, but.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
No, I don't do nothing. I've been stopped doing stuff
for April Fool's Day. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
There used to be a big comedy night like it
used to all the comedians you would go out to,
you know, be date nighted. It'd be all the big shows.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Your kids, yo, that'll be funny if you prank prank
them though, if they prank your ass, oh my gosh,
I don't want to.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
They don't want to. Got to anxiety and firearms in
the house. I just never know which way going. They
try to print that, like I never printed my pops
my pops is. I always say he's, you know, retired
police officer. I never print to me either. I don't
want to play those games. I don't boot hi exhoose
me pal.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, that's too much it is right now, But no,
I don't. I don't do nothing. Paper Fool's day.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
All right, Well, let's get the show cracking. We got
front page news. I'm sure Trump's going to be doing
a lot of stuff. He ain't joking, No he's not.
He's not.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Ain't no April fools, nothing.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Nothing with him. So we'll get to that next. With Morgans.
It don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
winning everybody. It's DJ NV, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
page news, all right. Now, women's the NCAA tonament. Did
you see the games last night? I didn't, I did.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
I watched a little bit of Yukon and USC.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, Ukon beat USC seventy eight sixty four in Texas
vat TCU fifty eight to forty seven. So the final
four set Ukon, Texas, UCLA and South carop Line.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
Now, let's go game. Cocks play Friday against Texas.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
What's up, mulligan?

Speaker 7 (03:02):
Hey ya hey, it is the first of the month.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.

Speaker 8 (03:06):
And it's also April Fool's Day. But do you know
where April Fool's Day came from?

Speaker 4 (03:10):
No?

Speaker 6 (03:10):
But as soon as I walked in one of our
coworkers he had just screamed out April Fool's Day.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
It's like, yo, you gotta do a joke first, idiot out?

Speaker 8 (03:18):
Also, okay, okay, so the gag is well, neither do I.
But that part remains unclear as far as where it
actually came from. But historically it does date back to
the fourteenth century in France, when April first was initially
celebrated as New Year's Day prior to the creation of
the Gregorian calendar, and when that changed New Year's Day
to January first in the Gregorian calendar, those who didn't

(03:40):
know about the change were called fools, and so people
played tricks on them.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
And that's a little bit of the backstory.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
Right, that's a little cute little fait.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, Okay, so let's get into the real joke. No,
just kidding.

Speaker 8 (03:51):
But as I mentioned yesterday, President Trump said he is
not joking about serving a potential third term. During a
phone call with NBC News, Trump was asked about joking
multi times or ask about asked about joking multiple times
about serving three terms, to which he replied it wasn't
a joke.

Speaker 9 (04:07):
Now.

Speaker 8 (04:07):
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says the President is
focused on serving his current term, but there are methods
that can make a third term happen, so they say.
So let's hear more from White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.

Speaker 10 (04:20):
It's funny to me that journalists ask the president this question,
he gives an honest and candid answer, and then they
spiral about his answer. It's been a very successful couple
of months, and the President will continue to forge ahead
to deliver on all of the promises he made to
the American people.

Speaker 8 (04:37):
Except for the grocery prices though, right, Charlomagne, you keep
mentioning that one.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
I's I already told y'all. I told y'all yesterday.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
If Trump is saying he wants to serve a third term,
then that's what's going to happen. He's not saying he's
going to run again. He's saying he's going to serve
a third term. So y'all can be out here screaming
what that means. Barack Obama can run again if Trump runs.
If Trump is saying he's going to serve a third term,
the fight is already fixed. Okay, not flirting with fascism,
the more we need deep in it.

Speaker 8 (05:02):
So yeah, Trump did say there are methods for making
it happen, and.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
Said that at all.

Speaker 8 (05:13):
In fact, we'll get into what's not normal a little
later in Front Page News in the seven o'clock hour,
Corey Booker has some comments. But Trump said there are
methods for making it happen, and he said a lot
of his allies want him to, but he tells them
there's a long way to go as far as it
is early in his administration, and of course, as I
mentioned before, serving three terms. As of right now, it's
prohibited by the Constitution under this twenty second Amendment.

Speaker 6 (05:35):
Well, you know you've been He've been wiping his ass
with the Constitution for a while. But this is not
just wiping his ass with the Constitution. He's showing you
the doodo on it.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
Seriously, if if everybody's okay with you know, him saying
things like that and then eventually him doing it, it's
over American democracy as we.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Know it is a right.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
But like for saying those things or for even a
legend that we will never have to vote again, like
what is like nothing doing? Like what can somebody? Yeah,
nobody can do nothing about that.

Speaker 8 (06:03):
The actions that can be done have to be done
in court or in Congress essentially. So that's where we
are right now, and that's essentially what is happening. It's
a lot of you know, executive orders being signed, a
lot of reversals, a lot of judges being involved, and
so yeah, but old people doing in the US House,
like the House of Representative, like they just be like, yeah, okay.
So you guys do know that the Trump administration tomorrow

(06:25):
will mark what President Trump is calling Liberation Day. I
like to call it Tariff Tuesday, even though it's on
a Wednesday. So the new reciprocal tariffs are set to
take effect tomorrow against Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union.
And Trump is expecting five trillion dollars in US investments
after his tariffs take effect. He said, foreign car makers
have been flooding the US market. Let's take a listen

(06:45):
to the President Trump.

Speaker 9 (06:47):
Because the word reciprocal is very important. What they do
to us, we do to them. If you look at
Canada and Mexico, they were driving hundreds of thousands of
cars into the market because they avoid the tariffs by
doing it before the tariffs go on, which would.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Be one set.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (07:05):
So over the weekend, while speaking to NBC, the President
said at that time he couldn't care less if automakers
raise their prices due to the implementation of his twenty
five percent tariffs on foreign made automobiles. In facts, he
hopes they do so people will start buying more American
made cars. And he also said that the imposed tariffs,
well they will be permanent. So okay, remember how he
kept rolling them back, rolling them back, giving another chance.

(07:26):
Well now he said this this time is the time.
So that's the front Pace News for six a m.
On at seven am. Like I said, we will talk
about what is going on in Congress. Jess, we'll get
to that.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Ol car all right, Well, thank you, Morgan, and I
think what people are saying that they're going to start
buying used cars because it won't affect the used cars
as much. So people are gonna start buying used cars,
and those new cars are gonna be sitting right into dealerships.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
And find those workarounds.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Please, all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred

Good morning, the breakfast Club. This is your time to
get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I hate the way that you walk, the way that
you talk, I hate the way that you dress. Everything
when nears best call up next.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Eight hundred five eighty five five one Not just me,
I'm what the coach of feeling. Hello, who's this trucker?
He trucker?

Speaker 5 (10:52):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
You're not wrapping this morning?

Speaker 13 (10:55):
H No, I'm not rapping it?

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Okay, all right, get it off your chest brother.

Speaker 13 (10:59):
I just want to talk about this potential third term
or Trump, whether you like him or dislike him. The
man is very crafty and smart on how he does.
And you're gonna have to violate the constitution to go
ahead and get in there a third term.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Yes you do, Yes, you do, Yes, you do. Tell
me how, tell me how you go?

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Tell me how you can serve a third term without
violating the constitution.

Speaker 13 (11:22):
Because the Constitution is very distinctly sayous that you cannot
run again. He don't have to run J him and
jd Vance can switch position. Jd Vance run, He can
be his running mate, he become vice president jd Vance
to see his position. Boom, you got you got Trump
for a third term. So there's ways around to doing

(11:43):
it when you're still within the bowels of the law
and the constitution. He's just smart with everything.

Speaker 14 (11:48):
That he does.

Speaker 13 (11:49):
Now you might not might not be very nice or
politically correct or how do you want to say it,
But he's part about everything. Does you guys never talked
about Apple bringing all this money down. They want to
stop making phones of the China stuff at the tariffs
things like that, So Yoa're bringing all this money over
here for jobs and things like that. Might never talk

(12:12):
about that kind of stuff. I want to encourage guys
to at least talk about some of the stuff that
could have a positive impact, like all these jobs and
billions in the economy.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Let me tell you, let me, let me, let me,
let me tell you something if if that happens, I'll
be the first person on this radio saying what he
did work. I don't think that's gonna happen, my brother,
you know, I think what I don't think any of
that's gonna happen. I think that you know, these TIFFs
are going to continue to hurt working class people. The
cost of goods is already sky high, and now the
cost the goods is about to be even higher. And
for a person who ran on one word, which was

(12:44):
groceries and bringing the cost of groceries down, we're not
going in the right direction with that right now, sir,
I would.

Speaker 13 (12:49):
Agree that it might not be going in the right direction,
But our count that we've been going in the wrong
direction for a long time with prices, and it's been
with nothing. If we can go ahead and start to
a little bit and somebody to come behind, because there.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Are going to work.

Speaker 13 (13:06):
Bill, I'm all for it. You have to break a
few in to make the Homlin and we just been
breaking eggs without no homa the other ring that's been
in office.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
A people ain't got no more eggs to break. Brother,
the point, we ain't even got the eggs to break.
These people that don't even got eggs to break?

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Right now? Hello, who's this?

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yo?

Speaker 11 (13:25):
What's good?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Y'all? Can hear me?

Speaker 13 (13:27):
Hear you?

Speaker 4 (13:27):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yo's good?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Keep from Brooklyn?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Your keep from Brooklyn? Yo? What's going on?

Speaker 13 (13:32):
Yo'll Charlamagne?

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Just hilarious, yo, Yo, God blessed?

Speaker 15 (13:38):
Hey yo, real quick, I just want to talk about
the whole term entertaining the whole third term. I understand that,
you know it's not technically normal, but it had the
third to four by Franklin Roosevelt.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
He did he did a Dirk term in the fourth term.

Speaker 14 (13:53):
Yeah, he got four terms.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 13 (13:55):
He actually died and you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 15 (13:57):
So you know, even though it's not technically normal in office,
that's been done.

Speaker 13 (14:02):
Before, and that constitution is it's only been codified like
the fifties.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
If you have you know, throwing out out there.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
All right, all right, God, bless you God, I love you.
What he said is right. FDR served the third term
and the fourth term.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
But that was nineteen thirty three to ninety forty five.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
He died in forty five. Now he did, Hello, who's this?

one hundred dollars, because again, it cost to sit.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Up here, and this is what I need.

Speaker 17 (19:02):
If you're giving electronically, even given tangibly, I'm gonna have
y'all come to the altar and give it because I
need to see a thousand people moving. Take your phone
and stick it on the on the bucket giving its worship.

Speaker 16 (19:16):
Exactly. You got to pay the play. That was not
him apologizing. That was his original comments. But I'm glad
we played that first because it's gonna make him apologizing
not sit well with y'all either, in my opinion. Let's
take a listen to him on a Ricky Smiley more
than you'll explaining what happened.

Speaker 7 (19:29):
In the apology.

Speaker 17 (19:30):
People took issue with me saying shut the doors. Understand,
I never said lock the doors, shutting doors the ability
to go in and out. And I can honestly say,
you know, looking at the video, maybe I was a
little more assertive that I should have been, and I
can apologize for that. But Number One, the forty thousand dollars,

(19:51):
if it was forty thousand dollars that was raised, was
never given to me. That money was raised for the
purpose of taking care of the budget for their conference.
Number Two, it didn't happen at my church. It happened
in Baltimore. Number Three, take issue with me being firm
with the ushers. But the doors needed to be closed,

(20:12):
and there was a lot of pandemonia and stuff that
was going on out.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
There due to you. He said, excuse wow, there was
a lot of pandemonium. Yeah, do you threaten to close
the doors on and in Baltimore and a.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Church in Baltimore you said they were shooting outside, said
closed the door to make people say O.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
No, I didn't hear the whole Ricky smiling and if
you sewed Ricky smiling.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
But I wish they just addressed the fact the problem
of shaking down folks who may not have it. Like
I go to church with spiritual relief. I don't go
to church to get shaken down for money that I
may not have. Don't shame it like that. If you
sit in a p you got to pay the play.
But like you know, I mean, like you guys are closer,
so you gotta pay to.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
Pay the plan. That sounds crazy in the church.

Speaker 16 (20:53):
Mister STAPs and to your point telling to mean my
issue with parts of the and shout out to Ricky
Smiley and the team. Hey y'all, but even that little
part of it, I'm like, where was the I needed
to rebut a little bit because it's like, Okay, we
understand all the church.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
You know what I'm saying, We all everybody.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
I don't care what conference or anything you at. Where
are they putting oil on you?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
You knew?

Speaker 16 (21:16):
Like to me and there videos going viral of other
pastors doing this to me, I feel like this is
something It's like you're kind of toned that just a
little bit, and it's okay to say you messed up
and then none of this to me is.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
He saying, Hey, I messed up. It's like I was
just in that moment. I am sorry. I you know,
I don't blame it on the Holy Gos. Just yeah,
just take accountability for Yeah, it was wrong, especially in
Baltimore because I know he ain't even get twenty thousand,
had to close in the door already.

Speaker 16 (21:43):
No, okay, okay, yeah, that's why he closed the doors
in the church. I can't believe that they don't even
know what just happened. But that's the Baltimore dance as
a little school. Yeah recipe, it's a little school. He
was a rapper from Baltimore. We selling scrambled and smeck
Baltimore anthem.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Okay, Now when he heard that he came out from
church doors closed.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
The doors closed.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
It's crazy, but I heard Capital One was offering him
a position to be the ambassador for that point.

Speaker 11 (22:12):
Yo.

Speaker 16 (22:12):
Did y'all see that means you posted to me? When
it was like when the way that that meaning is crazy?
With SR Wallet When I when I send you this,
I need.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
Nobody likes that. Man, I've been to I remember going
to a moss one time. And the guy at the
mosque was like, who got the first thousand dollars?

Speaker 5 (22:27):
And he would not I'm not saying no, I'm not
saying they do that.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
I'm just saying that this one particular master guy was like,
who got the first thousand dollars? And he would not
move off that thousand for like twenty thirty minutes.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
That's no money, got it, That's Crazy's nothing wrong people
ting tithing and you know whatever into the church. But
I think that it's like, okay, chill, Like the way
you go about it means something. But I want to
play this last audio because Marvin Steppa is also saying
that he's now receiving death threats because of this.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I heard that.

Speaker 17 (22:56):
The reason why I'm here is because what has happened
is is people have taken can clickbait and made something
out of it that it isn't And because of that,
my church has been getting phone calls. People have called
my church and cussed me out.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
My staff are.

Speaker 17 (23:11):
Afraid because I've received death threats over twenty dollars and
shut the door. So now we've had to update and
increase security. And all of this is because of a misunderstanding.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
All of that is because it costs to sit up here.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
That's right, And it's not that they doing it for
no reason. They doing it because you are literally shaking
down people who don't have it. They upset about that.
This is called backlash. I'm not gonna say those death
threats are real. It's crazy to call the church and
tell somebody to go to hell.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Go to hell. Came from Baltimore.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
But that's the new bully in the death threats. That's
what they do.

Speaker 16 (23:54):
Say people pulling up on you at the church. That's
a little crazy, pulling up on the past.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
See what happened to that pass in Brooklyn? They led
him and robbing on that live street.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
He different though, he was walking around like full Gucci sets.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
That's like, you know what I mean, marm sabout that,
Like but he got shot and all that, Peter.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
I mean, I don't want anybody get one. He got
shot like.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It was a bunch. He went through a lot. His
story was crazy. It was something. It was all types
of stuff going on. His story is on like Bounce
or something. It was it's a movie. You know how
they do this on TV one. I'm sorry not Bounced
that's crazy. Sure, Sam storyo, you gotta.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
I do feel for Marvin. The headlines is crazy.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
It's like Marvin Sap holds congregation hote from forty grand
if your grandma was in there, I got to see you.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, my mama was in there.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
You have my mama hostage.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
Yeah, for forty thousand dollars that she ain't got exactly
what how about you never would have made it.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
You ain't bout to make it?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
All right? Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Now
when we come back, we got front page news more
than to be joining us. I don't go anywhere. It's
the breakfast club. Good morning, wake up. If you're like
into the breakfast club, morning everybody. It's dj NV. Just hilarious, y'all.
Me and the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's
get in some front page news. What's up, logan?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (25:05):
So what's up is it's going to be a busy
week for the government, basically, so the Supreme Court could
rule this week on several emergency applications related to President
Trump's executive orders. Those include the deportation of Venezuelan gang
members under the Alien Enemies Act. Trump wants the High
court to lift a federal judge's restraining order that blocks

(25:25):
the removals. Justices may also decide on a lower court's
ruling requiring the government to reinstate millions in the Department
of Education grants. Additionally, a ruling could come down soon
on the firing of thousands of probationary federal employees. So
we are on Scotis watch this week to see what
takes place with those cases and those rulings. Meanwhile, New

(25:49):
Jersey Senator Corey Booker spoke on the Senate floor yesterday
and he criticized President Trump and of course the first friend,
Elon Musk. Senator Booker says America's elected leaders have a
job to do, and he made it of his intention
to disrupt the normal business of the United States Senate for.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
As long as he is physically able.

Speaker 8 (26:06):
Let's take a listen to New Jersey Senator Corey Booker's
comments on the Senate floor yesterday.

Speaker 18 (26:11):
These are not normal times in America and they should
not be treated as such. I can't allow this body
to continue without doing something different, speaking out the threats
to American people and American democracy are grave and urgent,
and we all must do more. We all must do

(26:32):
more against them. So many heroes before us would say
that this is the time to stand up, to speak up,
This is the time to get in some good trouble,
to get into necessary trouble.

Speaker 8 (26:45):
Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul
of America. That's a quote from the late great Congressman
John Lewis.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
So what did that look like?

Speaker 12 (26:54):
Though?

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Though?

Speaker 4 (26:55):
What did it look like?

Speaker 6 (26:56):
I mean, I hear Corey talking, and I like what
he's saying, But what does that look like?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well?

Speaker 7 (27:01):
What?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
He went on to say that the repeated uh.

Speaker 8 (27:03):
He repeatedly attacked what he called the Trump administration's reckless
actions and warned that the nation is in crisis.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
He insisted that the president has.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
Inflicted harm after harm on Americans safety, financial stability, and
the foundations of democracy in any sense of common decency.
As far as what it looks like, you're right, it's
a matter of the I guess, the Democratic Party rallying
and figuring that out.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
You know, what does that look like?

Speaker 8 (27:28):
Getting on the same page and moving forward as a
collective unit is certainly something that needs to happen, right, So,
just more rhetoric.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
Basically.

Speaker 8 (27:38):
But basically what you're saying is until you see, until
you actually see some action then right now, it's just so.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
Did I keep hearing all of them say we need
to do something? And you know these are not normal times.
We know all of this, But what is the game plan?

Speaker 9 (27:54):
Like?

Speaker 5 (27:54):
What are they doing?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Like?

Speaker 5 (27:55):
What is the action?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right now?

Speaker 8 (27:57):
It seems as though it's just a matter of fighting
in those core fighting those court cases, fighting the fighting
in Congress, and you know, that seems to be it
right now from where I'm standing in what I'm seeing.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
So nothing we understand.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
So in California, switching gears.

Speaker 8 (28:13):
In California, legislation that would give home buying assistance suit
descendants of slaves is moving forward with major concerns.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
They're calling this like a reparations bill.

Speaker 8 (28:23):
It's being approved by the Assembly Housing Community Development Committee,
but concerns. But there are concerns over its legality and
eligibility hangs over it. So Andrew Quinello is with the
specific not specific, excuse me, Pacific Legal Foundation. He tells
the committee that when the government disadvantages or even advantages

(28:44):
individuals based on race or ethnicity, it comes off as
very very suspicious.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Doesn't me bring things home to you guys?

Speaker 8 (28:51):
In New York, there's a growing sense of outrage and
calls for change in Brooklyn after a black teenager was
targeted and a racist attack at a subway station. Now,
the victim's mother was joined by supporters, including civil rights
activist Reverend Kevin McCall, at the Coney Island Stillwell Avenue
station on Friday. Let's take a listen to that. Let's
take a listen to their protests.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Let me just make this clear.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
The police Department PRIs is in this subway station. That's right.
So where were they come on? Boy safety?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, So basically what happened.

Speaker 8 (29:25):
Police say that a gang of teens from Uzbekistan, white
teens punch and kicked and through bananas at a sixteen
year old Dakari White, who is black, while yelling racial slurs.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
This happened about a week ago.

Speaker 8 (29:37):
Now. Dakari's family says the assault left him Trump's eye,
when his mother is also calling for more arrests. There
was one teen who was arrested in charge with assault,
but his family Dacari's family is calling for more arrests
and more to be done. So here we go with

(29:57):
these types of situations.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
Now, as he should. If it was any other ethnic group,
they would be on they would be looking for those people,
you know, sun up, some doown trying to find those people.
If it was the LGBTQ community, they would be looking
sent up and sundown for for those.

Speaker 6 (30:10):
Individsing bananas at a gay man after you beat them
up would be crazy.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
I'm like, all right, that would be.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
So the fact that they did that to this young
man and through bananas at him and racial slurs, they
should be looking sent up and son down for these individuals.
They should be.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
And I'm shocked in New York City with all the
cameras and everything everywhere, they haven't mind any people yet
because this is a that's a very distinct crime using props,
throwing bananas and we know what you sorry, we know,
just sorry.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Where you know you probably is calling.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
The monkey if they throwing banana of course, so that's
to me, that's also premeditated.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, you go bottom walking around with a bunch of banders.
They had to go buy them.

Speaker 8 (30:43):
That's true, right, right, That's what I was getting ready
to say, Jess, Well, that's your front page news y'all,
and I will continue to keep you guys posted. Make
sure you're following me on socials at Morgan Media and
for more news coverage, follow app Black Information Network, download
the free iHeartRadio app, and visit us at b i
nnews dot com.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Thank y'all, all right, well, thank you so much. Thanks.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Now when we come back, Rock sand Sean Te will
be joining us. You know, she recently got an honorary
Grammy at the Grammy Awards. And not only that, she
recently got her first million dollars. And she'll tell us
what rapper actually gave her that. So we'll get to
that next. It don't go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
It's to Breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
Good Morning, the Breakfast clubs, DJ env Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne,
the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Londa Rosa is
here as well, and we got a special guest in
the building. We got the queen and queens get the
money we have, Rock said Shanta, Thank you.

Speaker 7 (31:36):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
How are you feeling one?

Speaker 7 (31:39):
I feel absolutely blessed, you know, and I feel good.
I feel good.

Speaker 19 (31:42):
I think I've learned to age and and I enjoy it.
So because I don't fight age. I feel good every day.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
I feel good. Well, congratulations, you got a Lifetime Grammy
Achievement Award. How did that feel?

Speaker 7 (31:58):
That was amazing?

Speaker 19 (31:59):
You know when they first even contacted me and told me, like, listen,
we're gonna give you a Lifetime Achievement of Ward at
the Grammys. And then when I heard the class that
I was in, which happened to be Prince and Frankie
Beverley and Frankie Valley.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
And taj mahall the clash.

Speaker 19 (32:13):
You know, when you first hear all of them and
then you say okay and you're adding Roxy and Chantey.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
It was just incredible to me.

Speaker 19 (32:18):
But it also shows perseverance, It shows patience, It shows
something that you know a lot of people need to
have that understand that when it comes to hip hop
and even when it comes to getting into entertainment and careers,
some things are going to take time. Sometimes it's the
slow grind. Yeah, you know, it's it's the slow burn
that makes the ENCEGN smell good.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Did they have a hip hop category when you guys
were first putting out records, No.

Speaker 19 (32:38):
They didn't, and then all of a sudden they did
come up with one. And then I remember we had
to everyone got together and wanted to boycott because they
had took it back out then they added it in.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
So yeah, definitely was it bittersweet a little bit because
it was like, I feel like I should have been
recognized a long time ago for my achievement to what
I've done in this industry.

Speaker 19 (32:56):
Honestly, no, because if I was going to get a Grammy,
I would prefer to have it for lifetime achievement. That
means that it really focuses on everything that I've accomplished,
you know, like when you see my Grammy, my Grammy
represents the person who didn't sell millions of albums.

Speaker 7 (33:11):
You know, my Grammy.

Speaker 19 (33:13):
Represents the person that said no to a lot of
things that people said yes to, you know what I mean.
So therefore it has like a little more of a
significance to me personally.

Speaker 7 (33:22):
So I would love to have it that way as opposed.

Speaker 19 (33:24):
To you know, because sometimes people will look at Grammy
and say, Okay, well we know they're gonna get the
Grammy this year because they had the hottest video and
they had this and they had that. But in order
to have a lifetime, you know, you have to put
a lifetime in and not everybody's gonna last the lifetime.
Some people gonna get a hot five years, some people
might get a good ten.

Speaker 7 (33:40):
You know what I'm saying. I've had a strong forty
and you're.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
The first solo female rap to do that. To do
so like to receive this recognition, absolutely, that's amazing.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
What was sitting in that moment?

Speaker 16 (33:49):
Like for you because it is a first you are
getting it because of the entirety of your career. Now,
just the moment when you get that call and you're
sitting in it is like oh wow or is it
like boom the No.

Speaker 19 (33:59):
For me, it was it's like I really it was
like hard. It was hard for me to just understand,
like this is really happening. Because when you come into
the industry, you come into the industry for like three things,
and that's to get a record deal, because you want
to make sure that you get a record deal so
you're gonna make a lot of money. And then too,
you want to make sure that you do that great album.
You want to go platinum, you want to be on Billboard,
that type of thing. But then you also want to grammy.

(34:20):
I think everyone that goes into the music industry, you know,
as far as a performer or making records, you want
a Grammy. So for me, it was like after a while,
I didn't expect that, but I also knew that I
wasn't gonna stop being meek, Like I was not going
to change being rock Sandshinte. So if I was destined
to have a Grammy, then it's gonna come, whether I
sell a million records or not.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
And that's the reason why I sitting there.

Speaker 19 (34:41):
I was like, Okay, I am really sitting here, like
I am really next to them, Like literally, I had
to reach out and touch people because I was like,
I really isn't really like yeah, let me just make sure,
you know. And I took my daughter with me and
I kept touching her. She was like, man, you're gonna
mess on my meek up, I'm touching her, you know.

Speaker 7 (34:58):
That type of stuff. But yeah, so I truly enjoyed it.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
I wanted to ask, you know, I was talking to Sydney,
who's there. She does our digital and she was like,
you know, she watched the Rox sande Chante movie loved it,
and she was like, you know, she really didn't go
into the group homes that she went into when this,
that and the other? Why was that taking out? Why
was that not address because I even heard you say
something that you know, you've seen a better situation in
the group home than in our actual home. Yes, so

(35:23):
why was that taking out so much?

Speaker 19 (35:25):
You know, when we did the Rock sand roxand movie,
you know, a big shout out to Pharrell Farrest, Whitaka,
you know, Mimi Valdez, Nina Banjovi, big shout out to
them for making this happen.

Speaker 7 (35:35):
But when we did the movie and when I.

Speaker 19 (35:37):
Told the story, literally every day everybody was in tears,
you know, because I was in the streets for a
very long time, and being a young girl in the
streets and being a pretty girl at that, you know,
there's a lot of things that can happen, you know,
and it makes it makes you kind of cold, It
changes you a little bit. And so we only did
three years of my life because at first we weren't
really prepared. Felt like the world was prepared for the

(35:57):
full Roxande Chante story. You know what I'm saying this,
It's not something that you could really sit back and
be like, you know, it had a lot of gasping
moments and then when we were doing the movie. One
of the things about it was the young lady who
played me. Her name is Seante Adams. It was her
first time. She had just came out of school June
twenty sixth and July fifth, we had her already taping.
This was her first time being in a movie, and
there were a lot of things I didn't want to

(36:17):
subject her to, you know what I mean, because I
knew that coming in the industry, it's whatever you are
first presented as is what you continue to be in
the industry. I don't care how much you try to change.
They see you as that first time they were introduced
to you. And so I didn't want her to have
any nude scenes. I didn't want her to have any
strong sexual scenes. I didn't want her to have any
strong abuse scenes. So that this way her standard for

(36:39):
what she is going to have in the industry, and
it shows in the work that she did following up
working with Denzel and doing such other great movies and
doing plays and stuff like that. I was also thinking
about her, So I was like, listen, we can't put
that in, but it'll make a hell of a book,
you know. We can't put that in but I want
to talk about this part and then even the extension
of my movie because people say it just stopped so abruptly.

(37:01):
I didn't get a chance to introduce them to Biz.
So now coov has done the extension of that. So
now we're looking to like the part two of everything
that I've done is now getting ready to show up.

Speaker 7 (37:11):
In this new project, which is incredible to me.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
I break that with Kovy here Lear Kooby, can we
get a chair for Coovie? And now over there? And
while we're getting a chair for him, Now, how did
Biz get introduced? Biz Macking? How did he get introduced?

Speaker 19 (37:25):
He was sleeping in the hallway in Queensbridge, like this
is that was my introduction to biz Ma. We was
sleeping in the hallway in Queensbridge, but he was sleeping
there because he was working with Chan and he was
Biz had the energy that we all.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
Needed because he said we're going to be stars.

Speaker 19 (37:41):
And I really couldn't see that because We're sleeping in
the movie theaters on forty second Street and I'm putting
my feet across biz Lack because I hate sticky floors,
like still today, like I will lose it right with the.

Speaker 7 (37:52):
Floor is sticky. I will get up in mop in
the middle of the night.

Speaker 19 (37:54):
That is one of my things, you know, because I
don't want the floor to be sticky, you know. And
so for me, one of the things was Biz would
always say, don't worry about his shiny like, we're gonna
be stars.

Speaker 7 (38:05):
And I mean we got karate flicks playing.

Speaker 19 (38:07):
I mean, if anybody that went to his funeral they
saw that we you know, I kept my word at
the end of everything that we were gonna do regarding it.
But he had that energy that we all needed. And
even when my DJ told me likeyo, listen, I'm not
gonna play for you no more da da da, he said, look,
I will beat.

Speaker 7 (38:23):
Box the entire show for you.

Speaker 19 (38:25):
And he beatboxed so much that night he literally had
to put his lips inside of ice water. Yeah, so
these are the stories that people didn't get a chance
to see. So that was the extension with Koov saying,
you know what, the story has to be told, and
there's no way that you can tell a kov Biz
Marcky story without Kov of course, so Kov gives you

(38:45):
the whole vision of how it takes place from Koolv's
oddes and what he's seeing, you know, which is incredible,
and my daughter gets a chance to play me, you know,
because it's gonna be rocky and okay, that's how you
do it.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
All We got more with Roxy and Sean tab when
we come, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning,
and we're still kicking it with Rockxy and Shonte Coov.
How did y'all know Biz Marky was the one? Right?
Because if you look at Biz, you've ever been around Biz,
you'd be like, no way, he's gonna be a successful
rap because he always is joking. He's always he was

(39:18):
like the big teddy bear, Like how did you know
he was gonna be the one?

Speaker 7 (39:22):
Because he never gave up?

Speaker 19 (39:23):
He literally dream like on moments when I was like, listen,
I'm about to go back to Dayton Hustlers.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Is this is my world?

Speaker 7 (39:31):
Those sons?

Speaker 19 (39:32):
Well I've been there, yeah, exactly, Like listen, I need
a fur y'all playing, and I know I could get this,
And so he still had that like, no, this is
what we're gonna do.

Speaker 7 (39:43):
This is it.

Speaker 19 (39:44):
And so even going through you know, not only going
through group homes but also going through foster care, Biz
always wanted to be loved. He always felt like he
was the last to be chosen. He was the last
to be picked, He was the last to be fed,
he was the last to be dressed. And he was like,
don't worry, We're gonna be the first. You watch and
see what happens.

Speaker 7 (40:00):
We gonna be the first.

Speaker 19 (40:01):
So nobody knew the backstory of what we were going
through in order to even become this. Like before the
Rock Sands Chantey in the Rock Stands Revenge, you know,
nobody knows about you know, forty second Street and being
night kids and different things like that. And with Biz,
you just knew that it's something magical about him, Like
literally when you looked at him, because he wasn't a

(40:22):
nice looking one and he smiled like as if there
was bright whites and baby.

Speaker 7 (40:28):
They wasn't.

Speaker 19 (40:28):
And he had a mile and he just had this
whole vibe about him that was just incredible. And you say,
you know what, his energy and his magic rubs off
because sometimes we just need that magical person next to us.

Speaker 7 (40:41):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 19 (40:42):
And then he made all of us have that magic
and I realized, Okay, you know what I can be
that magical person for somebody, because Biz was that for me.
So you become an incredible hype man, but then before
you know it, you become the front man.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Was it true that Biz had ownership or part ownership
of Teletubby's? Was that true? That was always a room
I went around and I was just curious with them.

Speaker 7 (41:05):
You messed around with Busy on half.

Speaker 19 (41:11):
Well, Busy Biz could create some entertaining stories and because
of that is another reason why he was one of
the greatest entertainers ever.

Speaker 7 (41:21):
So no, I'm not.

Speaker 19 (41:22):
I don't know, you know what I'm saying, because that's
between him and his estate, you know what I'm saying.
But if that's the case, then I'm definitely the purple one.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
As I said, that was one of the one interviews
I'm upset we missed, right. I would always see Bibs
on the road, right because after you know, he rapped,
he started getting in the DJ and heavy and I
would always se him on one and I would aways say,
you gotta coming, like and he would call Charlamagne, he
would call myself, and that was the one that I
was like, I would just love to sit down and
just talk to Biz.

Speaker 20 (41:55):
Well, you know like Biz was the connector. I'm still
with her to this day. We he connected me with everybody,
like all of us. Like she shared our platform. Biz
connected the people the other pieces to go to the puzzle.
And you know what I'm saying. And like she said,
his stories, whether they were true or not, it made

(42:16):
you feel good.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
And that's why everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (42:22):
So you would love the stories because the stories would
get your attention to pay attention to the talent.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
And his talent was he believed.

Speaker 20 (42:31):
He believed, like you say, the little engine that could, Yes,
that was the ultimate hip hop little engine that could,
because he didn't wasn't the best rapper, he wasn't the
best beat box, he wasn't all of these things, but
he loved to do it.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
And he said, we're gonna be stars. We're gonna be stars.
Watch watch.

Speaker 20 (42:48):
And when he said it, you know as much as
you would say yeah right, it put that battery in
your back to say, let's go, let's make it happen.
And then we put we all did you know saying,
because everybody got their super talent, right, we like you know,
we combined forces and we became that Juice Crawl star.

Speaker 7 (43:05):
Thing, and we liked the super friends.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Yeah, we're super friends. We came together.

Speaker 20 (43:09):
Everybody got their own talent, and we respected each other's talents,
but we all pushed each other to be better.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
All right, if you're just checking in, we're still kicking
it with Rock, Sanne Shante and the legendary DJ and
producer Cool V. The one thing that I was always
bothered me about Legends is I felt like, you guys
crawl so everybody else could run, right, And I always
felt like I loved the flowers, and I'm sure you
guys loved the flowers too, But I always felt like

(43:36):
the industry did you guys dirty? Right? As DJ's producers, rappers, performers,
you know, they ate and made billions of dollars off
this thing that you put on your back and did
it for the culture and did it because this came
from the heart. And I don't feel like you guys
ever made the right money for that, you know what
I mean? Because you still had to put your kids
through school, and your kids through school. How did that

(43:57):
always make you feel like the industry did you like
you never got what you was deserved.

Speaker 19 (44:02):
You know, for me, I think I might be one
of the only ones that was not angry, Like I
just was never angry. I felt like, what I'm supposed
to have, I'm supposed to have, what I'm going to get,
I'm going to get it is destined, and so I
never looked at it like, Okay, well, why aren't they
picking me? And why don't I have this? And why
can't I have that? Instead I would look at some

(44:22):
of the things that some of the artists would go through,
because if we look at it now, like if we
tally up everything right now, I'm in a better position
than anybody that was hot in the eighty and that's
both financially, mentally physically. At this point in my life,
I am better than most of them, if not all
of them. And the reason why is because I was

(44:45):
willing to wait patiently until the universe said here, you
can have it. I came in the industry at fifteen,
at fifteen years old, you give me a million dollars,
it's going to be gone in a year. Why Because
I'm gonna want a car, I'm gonna want this, I'm
gonna want that, I'm gonna want these things Okay, so
now you give me a million dollars in my fifties.
I'm going to maintain that for the rest of my life.
Why because I've already been put in a great position.

(45:06):
And when we talk about being put in a great position,
you know, I'm on I have a show.

Speaker 7 (45:11):
You know, have a nice day. Ll Cluj's Rock the
Bells Radio and I have a show.

Speaker 19 (45:15):
And we started off with thirty thousand listeners per day
and now we're reaching millions per day.

Speaker 7 (45:21):
So he had Ll seen the vision and was like.

Speaker 19 (45:24):
Look, your voice and your storytelling and your experience, we
need to have you on every day.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
So he set us up.

Speaker 19 (45:30):
So automatically I went and got COOV because there's no
way that I could be in any position of growth
and not look behind me and see one of my
Juice crew members, Like they have to be in the room.

Speaker 7 (45:41):
I need them in the room.

Speaker 19 (45:42):
That is the energy and the magic that comes along
with being loyal to each other. So when I look
over and I see V I know I'm going to
have a nice day. I know I'm going to have
a great day. So because of that, the success of
that and then Alon comes to paid in full foundation,
which nas is a part of and because of Horowitzes,
and they say, well, listen, you know what we want

(46:03):
to sit you down, and this is what we want
to tell you. For everything that you've done in the industry,
for all of these years, that you've done all this
hard work, and you've been overlooked and you've been overshadowed
and all of these other things, we have something for
you and we want you to know that this is
what you can have. So literally, they made me a millionaire.
So when they made me a millionaire, I remember doing
an interview and they said, well, now that you have

(46:23):
the money which I would have never saved from them,
the money that I would have never had from then,
you know, from everything that went on between people going
through drugs and different things like that, Now that you
have this money, what is it that you do now?
And the first thing I said is sleep because I
never knew what it was to sleep. I knew what
it was to rest, I knew what it was to

(46:44):
take a nap, I knew what it was to catch
a quickie that type of thing, but I never knew
what it was to sleep. Since I was fifteen years old,
I never knew what it was like to just get
under the covers and sleep. So when I received the check,
I slept, you know, And I told them, I said, like,
for the first time in my life, I know what
it's like sleep and not worry and not worry and

(47:04):
not have to be woke up because now I got
something to do, a job I have to do. You know.

Speaker 7 (47:09):
Now do I get up to go to work. Absolutely,
I love my job.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
I do what I do.

Speaker 19 (47:13):
But the main thing is I now know what it
is to sleep. And so some people don't understand that,
do you know what I'm saying? Like for me, that's
what it was. So that money brought.

Speaker 7 (47:24):
Me some sleep.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
All we got more with Roxy and Chante. When we
come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
and we're still kicking it with Roxy and Chante.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Coov Yes, going back to what you were talking about
about the movie, the rox A and Chante movie, right,
the young lady that played you, I know you said
that she was right out of what acting school, She.

Speaker 7 (47:43):
Just graduated out of Carnegie Mellon.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Just just graduated, right, And you said there was a
lot of things that you didn't put in it because
you didn't want to subject her today you didn't want
to party through that? Was that also because you felt
like she couldn't She was so fresh and knew that
she wouldn't be able to embody all of that that trauma.
Your story is enough to Like you said, people were
crying on set every day while you're telling them the stories.

(48:07):
Do you feel that she could really convey that with
her being such a fresh like right out of school.

Speaker 19 (48:14):
Well, you know, honestly, she won Breakout Actor of the
Year from Sun Dance, from my movie. It was never
a question of her ability, it was how would they
see her? Like I sat back and I noticed that
there were a lot of actors that had played parts
that were.

Speaker 7 (48:32):
Never able to get out of them.

Speaker 19 (48:34):
So if she played rock sand chante, you know what
I'm saying that, and baby my numbers was high, had champs, okay,
And I didn't want to put her in all of
those positions, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
Literally, you know, I didn't.

Speaker 19 (48:48):
Want to do that to her, And so I just
wanted to make sure that when they viewed her, they
saw the talent that had to be played emotionally in
every part, rather than have her play something else.

Speaker 7 (48:58):
So That's really what I felt from that.

Speaker 16 (49:00):
I wanted to go back to something you mentioned to
with the Rock the Bells luj Yes, I was reading about.
I think this was when he was advertising last year's
show the Owner, like you got your minority owner in
the brand too. Yes, that is amazing as well, And
I think that I think a lot of people don't
talk about that part of what he does with Rock
the Bells and how important it is and that being
a foundation. Can you talk a little bit about his

(49:21):
first phone call to you about that and kind of
how that felt and how it came together.

Speaker 19 (49:25):
This whole thing came about in order for me to
have to have a nice day. Show was I did
an interview, and I was doing an interview about the movie,
and I was doing the interview with l and We're
sitting there and we are talking and we are laughing,
and he is saying, you know what, I feel like,
you're interviewing me.

Speaker 7 (49:38):
He said, you need to be doing this.

Speaker 19 (49:41):
He said, I'm getting ready to start up this company
and I'm getting ready to start this radio station.

Speaker 7 (49:45):
He said, Look, this is what we're gonna do.

Speaker 9 (49:47):
Beat.

Speaker 7 (49:47):
This is how he does. He goes, this is what
we're gonna do.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
He'll still be looking the lips.

Speaker 7 (49:50):
Yeah up here he was doing it. Yeah, yeah, he
still does. He's like, yeah, so, look, this is what
we're gonna do.

Speaker 19 (49:56):
Beat gonna make you part owner, which means everything you
work for and how you build this, you're gonna see
the benefits from it, you know. And not that that
was more of an incentive for me to work harder,
because I was gonna work harder for him anyway.

Speaker 7 (50:08):
Regardless, I was.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Gonna do this.

Speaker 19 (50:09):
I'm gonna always put my best foot forward. You're my brother,
I trust you. This is what you say we're gonna do.
This is what we're gonna do. But just know that
the checks on the back is a nice incentive, you
know what I'm saying that that's a nice little come
along to know that you're an owner. But then it
also makes you know the importance of how we represent it.
So yeah, so definitely. So the phone call was like,
it wasn't even a phone call. It was a face

(50:30):
to face and literally I left LA. When we did
get to New York, he had already set it up
for me. He was like, look, I know that you
had not really done radio and this is not something
like I didn't know how to work a board and
everything else. So they had to get a whole team
together from me. And getting a team together was like
a difference because I didn't just come on as talent.
It was like, Okay, we're gonna get everything that you

(50:51):
need and all you have to do is be you.
And that's exactly what he allowed me to be, you know.
And being an owner and having others that are also
owners is just incredible because it makes you say.

Speaker 7 (51:03):
Like, look what we've built. You know, look what his
vision saw.

Speaker 19 (51:07):
And he understood the importance of ownership because he was like,
you've done so many things, and you've built so many
things for other people. Now it's your turn to say, look,
this is what I built and this is what we have.

Speaker 7 (51:16):
And I thank him for that. Like literally, we call
him to Todd Parl.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
You right now.

Speaker 20 (51:21):
You know what I'm saying, listen, because everything he said
in the beginning, and I wasn't even there for that.
She told me all of that. But everything that he
said in the beginning, what you see now he said
it back then and we've been on the radio for
five years now. He said it then.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
I love it. Talk about the importance of NAS. Right,
you said NAS made you a millionaire. Yes, talk about
the importance of NAS, because I feel like NAS's is
an love. Both of them are like the forgotten artists.
And when I mean to forgotten, we all know they
get busy or we all know they got classic albums.
We all know they get nice. But I don't think
we talk about them enough. So talk about the importance
of NAS to you.

Speaker 19 (51:55):
And you know, with Nas, it's like watching my little
brother grow up and be exactly what I knew he
was gonna be. You know, people would say to me
all the time, like, why didn't you ever say about
how you and nasmat And I said, because it was genuine.
That's me talking to my brother. That's not a conversation
that I'm gonna tell everybody. I'm not gonna tell you
every time I tell my sisters or my brothers that

(52:17):
I'm gonna beat them up if they don't do right,
I'm not gonna do that. And so he chose to
reveal that to the public. He did that first in
his documentary. He was like, listen, and then Sean Tay
said this to me, and it made me understand that
because you can see even with your your siblings or
even those who are in your neighborhood because they grown
up in Queensbridge, you know, where there's fifteen thousand tenants

(52:38):
on paper, but thirty thousand any given day because somebody's
always living with somebody, somebody's always on, somebody couching the project.
But that was like a little city, but we all
knew each other. And I remember seeing Nas and saying like, Yo,
you're gonna be great, Like it's just something about you
and I know you are, so stay away from them
before I get.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
You, you know.

Speaker 7 (52:56):
And then he was like, I'm gonna.

Speaker 19 (52:57):
Rhyme, and I was like, yeah, but you make sure
you have together because at one time he wanted to rhyme,
but he also wanted to make sure that his crew
k ryme. And I'm saying like, so, you're just writing
for everybody, you know, so I need you to just
do this for you because you are.

Speaker 7 (53:13):
Going to be special.

Speaker 19 (53:14):
There is something about you, and I know it because
I've always had to be my own hype person to
tell myself like, yo, listen, you're gonna be special, and
the same energy that I would get from Bis, like
saying like we're gonna be you know the connection. You
know who's gonna be something. And sometimes you can sit back,
you just honestly don't want to say it, but you
know who's not gonna make it. You know who's not
gonna make it. You can bring them along, but you

(53:36):
know they not gonna make it.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
Yeah. Now, if you just joined us, we're still kicking
it with rock Sanne Shante and the legendary DJ and
produce a cool v I'm a hip hopada from Queen.
So it's how I grew up, is what I saw,
It's what I lived, and I feel like these stories
need to be told so much more. You hear these
stories when it comes to country music, hear when it
comes to pop music, and I feel like we should
hear it when it comes to hip hop because there's
so many avengers and superheroes that helped me get by

(54:01):
and that I was excited to. I mean, I remember
had to be fifteen twenty years ago and you called
me to do your opening of your ice cream shot.
I mean with things like that, it's just like a
different respect and I just want to say thank you
for what you did for this industry, especially for y'all
for me, you know, I mean, it's like no other
you know what I mean. But that's why I hold

(54:22):
my dj is so close. I feel like nobody everks
with us and they just let us go to the waistline.
But that's why I do it so much, because I
just want people to know that without any of this,
there would none it would be none of this, you know, yes,
And that's why I love her because she always said
even when I couldn't DJ for, she pulled another.

Speaker 20 (54:39):
Person in the crew. She pulled Cane up to DJ for,
she pulled all everybody's been Shante's DJ. By far, she
had I probably had the most DJs in hip hop.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, me, and see that's
what I'm saying. It's the truth.

Speaker 20 (54:56):
But she's never shot away from sharing her platform and
whatever we could get, we could get her all get
it together. So right now I'm just so happy to
be with her right now doing what we're doing. Life
is beautiful.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
We appreciate y'all for joining us, Covie and I don't
even think I was gonna see on Mike today. Listen.
Thank y'all legendary. Well, we appreciate you guys again. And

Speaker 6 (55:44):
My clothes, and you never never thoughted in my clothes. Discusie,
I don't fart in my clothes. I'm just letting y'all
know that. So if y'all see me squirming, it's because
I'm gassing. Also, I want to tell y'all that the
paperback of my third book, Getting On Us to Die Line,

Speaker 5 (55:59):
Kind of said, wait, was that today's April first? So yes,
it's out today. Yeah, see available everywhere you buy books.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Listen. Life moves on. Well, let's get to the latest
with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fast get somebody that
knows somebody detail.

Speaker 7 (56:17):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything, and.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
She'd be having the latest on this the Latest with
Lauren la Rosa.

Speaker 5 (56:25):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 7 (56:33):
All right, y'all.

Speaker 16 (56:33):
So, as you guys know, young Scooter passed away over
the weekend and we had some questions even in the room,
and I reported it about there was like a woman
that people mentioned and then they police.

Speaker 7 (56:43):
Find the woman and all that stuff.

Speaker 16 (56:44):
So there has been a nine to one one call
that was released by police in Atlanta that paints a
different picture of the stories that were released in the beginning.
Let's take a listen to that nine one one call.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
Tell me exactly what happened.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
But all the neighborhood watch and basically, these gods have
they're they're like selling drugs in and out of the house.
All you see is God's coming in and out of
the house with guds and stuff. They hold the gugs
in the air. I'm not sure if they're pipping. This
girl doesn't have on any clothes. They threw outside. He
literally fought the girl. It sounded like they were fighting
over drugs and then they started shooting. Serving the area fire,

(57:21):
I would say, three, when did it happen? It's happening now,
and that coming from three William d yes. And the
girl is hurt because she was like bleating profusely, like
blood everywhere. She ran outside naked, and then he was
fighting her outside. She tried to get away, he dragged
her back in the house. So now they're at the door.
He's with he's refusing to let her out. There's also

(57:43):
a child in danger as well, because she had a
she has a baby.

Speaker 7 (57:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (57:48):
So when I heard this audio, first of all, it's
very descriptive. The woman says that she is neighborhood watching.
People are like, okay, is this legit or not? And
I did reach out to police in Atlanta who confirmed
to me that this nine one one call is legit.
They are right now actively trying to find this woman.
She called from a nine to one one only phone,
which is basically like you know they have like those

(58:09):
emergency lines or like where you can only call out
if something's wrong and in a community or like you know,
even sometimes on the side of the highways, like I
don't know if.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
It was I never seen at all either.

Speaker 7 (58:19):
Yeah, yeah, so it happens that I don't pay your.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Bill, you can call nine one only.

Speaker 16 (58:24):
No, Well, they I know, I don't know if hers
was set up like this, but I know, like if
you go to in sometimes different communities or like on
the side of the highways or whatever, there are certain
emergency phones where you can literally only call for emergency.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
The emergency phones on the side of the highway, especially
on college campus, is nothing like this though.

Speaker 16 (58:39):
According to what the police released in the way that
they describe it, they describe it as an one one
only phone, and that is what is making it hard
for them to backtrack who this woman is and where
she called from. But they are looking for her right now.
They have a five K reward out just for information
of who this woman is because I imagine if they
can sit down and have a conversation with her now
they can kind of understand what let up to young

(59:00):
Scooter feeling like he needed to run away from police
when they came, and just everything that we've heard about
this woman.

Speaker 6 (59:07):
They thought the police said that there was no signs
of blood or no woman that she.

Speaker 16 (59:13):
Described, and that's why everything just changed once it's audio dropped,
because when they got there, they said that somebody shut
the door on them and they saw no woman.

Speaker 7 (59:20):
They saw none of what we're hearing. But there is
a woman.

Speaker 16 (59:23):
Who describes this, so they have to investigate it and
if what she is saying, if she can corroborate in
any sort They got investigated.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
Now that They also say when they pulled up, they
seen a call with shots it and something like that
or something like that.

Speaker 16 (59:35):
I don't remember if it was a car, but they
did say that there were gunshots that went off. And
I don't know if it was because of this call
or if it was because of anything else, but they
did say that gunshots went off.

Speaker 7 (59:45):
But they just the woman in question.

Speaker 16 (59:47):
Has they don't they haven't located her, like they're trying
to figure it out. So they want to talk to
this woman behind the call, but they also want to
talk to, of course, the woman that we have no
idea about.

Speaker 7 (59:56):
Now it's crazy, right switching gears.

Speaker 16 (01:00:00):
So Crime Mob this video there's a video circulating right
now from twenty twenty four, so the video is not new,
the interview is not new. But crime ob Princess of
Crime Mobs, sat down for an interview and she talked
about the reason why crime mob broke up and people
are like, what, let's say, listen, what.

Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
Is it that possibly princess did wrong potentially to separate
this group?

Speaker 7 (01:00:22):
Okay, y'all ready for this?

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Me and my brother went to six Flags. We came home.
We called Diamond. We told her we saw Michael Jackson
at six Flags and that Michael Jackson wants to get
on a look if you booked, and that he just
left our house and she needs to come listen to
his verse. And she ran all the way from her
house to ours, and she believed us, and it hurt her.

(01:00:46):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry we told you Michael Jackson. I'm
so serious. I'm so serious.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
How old were y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
At the started cry Bobby?

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
If I would have known, twenty years would go by
and you would have a beef with me.

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Okay, that's so she really left the group because she
thought Michael Jackson too much. Just jump yo, you really
like you really thought that though.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
You know somebody in here that would do that, like
you left the group.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
You would do that, You would leave the group if
somebody sold he would do it. Jeffy Mills was I
was going to jump on.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
Jump.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
I thought you even you don't want to leave? I think,
how would you even sound? How would Michael Jackson even
sound on?

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
But the fact that nobody has produced that yet with
AI is bothering me.

Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
How long had this story been out?

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
Hold up?

Speaker 16 (01:01:40):
This is from twenty twenty four year because you know
we're gonna get to the bottom of things here at
the Breakfast club like that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
No, No, I ain't had enough. They have enough money
for the verse.

Speaker 6 (01:01:50):
I want to hear somebody do. I want to hear
Michael do princesses verse. I want somebody to do the
AI and Princess versus be Michael Jackson.

Speaker 5 (01:02:00):
That's what I want.

Speaker 7 (01:02:01):
She's gonna be mad then, because now you're replacing people.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
And listen, I.

Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
Love Diamond and Princess. But Diamond, if you believe that
and you just wanted to leave the groupe you was
looking for, she has a call back and she had
to run all the way to Michael.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Wait.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
She did say they were sixteen, so they was young.
They was young, yes, yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:02:21):
But they she said that they haven't been speaking for
but like twenty years, Princess and Diamond was up here
on together in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 5 (01:02:27):
They've made up.

Speaker 6 (01:02:27):
Over a different times to do shows and stuff like that,
going tour.

Speaker 7 (01:02:31):
You got to be by Michael. I'm not I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
Believe this story. Princess was just playing with people.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
I don't believe that story had to be that had
to be the cherry on top or the straw that
broke the camel's back. They had to be going through
something else. Well, it was just the tipping point exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
If Diamond believed that she wanted to lead it.

Speaker 16 (01:02:46):
She was looking for Okay, well, this was a legendary
Jerry's podcast and he kept asking her this not very serious,
it's not real, like for.

Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
Real, this would have been eight on if Youth No real.

Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
Yeah, now that I heard, because you know a lot
of that, a lot of those Norri records that Pharrell produced.

Speaker 5 (01:03:04):
I think they said super Thug was for Michael Jackson.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Super Thug.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Yes, the what what what? What?

Speaker 9 (01:03:09):

Speaker 4 (01:03:10):
Oh? Wow, he just didn't didn't do it, that's what right,
probably just didn't. Yes, well I'm gonna say what what
but it would.

Speaker 7 (01:03:19):

Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
Bitch you you can call me the donkey of the day,
but like I.

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
Mean, no harm, Yes donkey today for Tuesday, April first,
April Foolsday goes to an Augustine man named Chris Lewis. Okay,
Chris is twenty four years old, and he was arrested
for leaving his kids at the McDonald's while he attended
a job interview. I repeat, he was arrested for leaving
his kids at the McDonald's while he attended a job interview.

Speaker 5 (01:06:07):
Hey, we listen, we don't judge. I'm lying, we judge it.
Let's go to Fox twenty six Houston for the RePOP police.

Speaker 12 (01:06:13):
A job interview ends badly for a man in Georgia.
Chris Lewis was arrested March twenty second. Police say he
left his kids in a McDonald's by themselves while he
went to an interview for a job. He reportedly told
police he did not have a car and lived nearby.
Lewis said instead of making his three kids, who are one, six,

(01:06:36):
and ten years old, walk home alone, he decided to
make them stay in the restaurant. What we know is
he was there from fourth the kids were there from
four point thirty. He returned at six eighteen, and then
the mother was on the way as well.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
But we don't know if she was.

Speaker 12 (01:06:52):
Called by police or him after the fact, or if
she was on the way anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
He was twenty fourty as a ten year old, So yeah,
that y'all at fourteen? Yes, hey, do you know how
young ten, six in one are? Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:07:06):
I have a nine year old, a six year old
and a three year old. I don't like leaving them
alone in the family room while I'm upstairs. Nonetheless dropping
them off at a McDonald's restaurant while I had tend
a job interview. Now, I know some of y'all are
out here, you know, out there thinking, well, at least
he was going to do something productive like going on
a job interview. Well, if that's what you think, you
are missing the entire point.

Speaker 4 (01:07:25):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
The issue here is the fact that Chris left his
ten to six and one year old unattended at a McDonald's.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:07:31):
A witness reported seeing him with his children around four
thirty pm. The witness also observed him leave the restaurant,
return later before leaving again, and then when he came
back at the restaurant around six eighteen pm.

Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
That's when he was detained by offices.

Speaker 6 (01:07:44):
That's almost two hours that he left his kids unattended
at a McDonald's. Anything could have happened in that two hours. Kidnapping,
let's start there, Okay, medical emergency would have one of
the kids hurt themselves and needed immediate attention.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
People in McDonald's not paying attention.

Speaker 6 (01:07:57):
That's not a damn daycare, and and then making fishing
for lats and making sure the quarter pounds is a
poundering Why would they be paying attention to your kids now?

Speaker 5 (01:08:05):
The news report said.

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
The child's mother arrived shortly after and took the children
from the restaurant. Why couldn't they have been with the
mother to begin with? Don't nobody got no grandparents, no aunts?
Where your parents at?

Speaker 5 (01:08:17):
Chris?

Speaker 6 (01:08:18):
I'm not judging I'm just asking questions. I'm trying to
understand your thought process. Hell, okay, I'm trying to understand
why you thought this was okay. You didn't even try
to slip one of the McDonald's employees a couple of
dollars to say, Hey, bro, I gotta run to this
job interview real quick. Can you just watch my kids
for a second. That wouldn't have been the right thing
to do either, but it would have been better than
just leaving them there unattended. Now, Chris, I don't want

(01:08:40):
you to think I have a zero empathy for you.

Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
I do.

Speaker 6 (01:08:43):
I understand. You know it's a hustle. Times are hard.
Everything costs. Daycare is no joke, you know. Babysitter prices
are no joke. You probably didn't even have the money
to offer anyone you know, to watch your kids, Okay,
trying to secure employment to provide your family, provide for
your family. That's commendable round apploy for that. Okay, But
what's our job is meant? Our job is meant is

(01:09:05):
to protect and provide. I put protect in front of
provision for a reason, because the safety of our kids,
the safety of our families comes before anything else. Okay,
I can figure anything else. Ode I've been broke before.
I can get to the money in some way. I
can deal with that. But your baby's being hurt because
of your negligence. I can't live with that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:09:24):
There is no job you could possibly acquire on this
planet that is worth more than the safety and well
being of your kids.

Speaker 5 (01:09:31):
Let's just say, Chris, you got the job.

Speaker 6 (01:09:34):
You all excited, you rushing back to McDonald's, happy as hell. Okay,
you get their kids gone, somebody gonna snatch them up.

Speaker 5 (01:09:41):
Tell me if that job is worth it?

Speaker 4 (01:09:43):
Then?

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
Oh what if you would have got back and you
pull up and it's ambulances everywhere? Okay, because the one
year old and suffocated in the pitto plastic balls. You
tell me if that job interview you went on was
worth that?

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:09:55):
There are resources and community programs designed to help parents
in these situations. I did some research, and by research,
all I mean is Google. Okay, you could have called
Family Promise of Augusta. They got a cost free childcare center. Now,
from what I read, they help homeless families, but I'm
sure they could have helped you too.

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
I'm just saying there had to be other options.

Speaker 6 (01:10:14):
Okay, McDonald's menu has one hundred and forty five items.
That's one hundred and forty five different things to choose from.

Speaker 5 (01:10:22):
Why am I saying that?

Speaker 6 (01:10:23):
I'm saying that because if McDonald's has one hundred and
forty five items, if they have that many options, then
us as humans have to give ourselves more options too.
I'm sure you could have found at least one more
option other than dropping your kids off at McDonald's. That
can't be the plan a and the only plan period. Okay,
let's hope this serves as a lesson to all parents

(01:10:44):
before you make poor choices like this, seek out support
systems and plan accordingly when you're faced with these kinds
of challenges, because nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is
worth jeopardizing the safety of your children.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
Please give Chris Lewis the biggest he hull am I trip? Nah?

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
Okay, I'll tell you when you are, but now you're not.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
He deserves donkey, but he doesn't deserve to be arrested.
What are you talking about? I'm gonna tell you why,
right because you said a lot of stuff that we
don't necessarily know about. Maybe he had a babysitter in
play and last minute the babysitter canceled. And he's trying
to do right, he's trying to get a job, and
maybe he thought, you know what, not to say that
this was a smart decision. But let me try. It's

(01:11:30):
not like he was going to the club. It's not
like he was at the mall shopping. It's not like
he was at a chick How are you're smoking some
weed or selling some dope. He was trying to better
his life. Now the decision he made was stupid. But
now he gets this, he's now he's arrested for this.
Now's this on his record. Now he can't get a
good job because that's on his record.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:11:51):
It is fed up and it is foul. It's not
a way of thinking. Both the law but as a community,
you know what I mean, we should have certain graces
when it comes to certain things. Like I said, if
he was a club, yes, lock him up. If he
was at the mall shopping, if he was smoking weed,
he selling crack, if he was at a chick house,
but he was trying to better his life.

Speaker 5 (01:12:07):
If something would.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
No, I'm just that why not take them to the
actual interview.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
Then he said he didn't want them to walk.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
I'm sorry he didn't have he would have to walk
with the kids.

Speaker 6 (01:12:18):
Ask your question, if something would have happened to the kids,
would you still feel that way? If the kids would
have got kidnapped, if one of the kids would have
suffocated in the would you still feel.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
That it would have been a sad situation.

Speaker 5 (01:12:28):
But would you still say.

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
He shouldn't have been arrested. I don't know. I don't
think he would have been arrested because he's not doing
it on purpose. He's really trying to better his life,
and the circumstances would life hit him? Hey, man, I
mean like like think about it like this. Say he
did have a babysitter. Let's say he did, and the
babysitter candsl last minute, and he's trying to get a job.
It's not like ten years old, right. I'm not saying

(01:12:50):
in your one year old I'm not saying it's smart.
I'm not saying it's a right decision or a smart decision.
But that man is trying to better his life, and
we've all been to a place where.

Speaker 6 (01:12:58):
It's just But what that got to do with the
safety of your children, right. I don't care how much
you trying to jail. Listen, he broke the law. I
don't know nothing about that. But my point is you
can't say this man is trying to better his like
you can't put you know, you being unemployed over the
safety of your children, the safety of your.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Children, not saying it's a small decision. I just don't
think you should have went to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
Because they're gonna walk with me. I get he ain't
want them to walk, all right, Well, I'm gonna carry
you until I get tired, and your little brother gonna
hold you down'na pick you back up. Something like they're
gonna be with me at this job interview, because that
may entice the job, the people to give them the
job even more.

Speaker 6 (01:13:33):
This guy's kids, I don't want to make no Listen,
I just don't think you should jeopardize the safety of
your children. I agree in the pursuit of impact, I
agree one thousand. Man, I can't say I can't. I
can't say I can't say he shouldn't be arrested.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
Let's open up the phone lines. Let's discuss eight hundred
five eighty five, one oh five one. This young man.
He's twenty four years old. He had a job interview.
He left his three children in McDonald's while he did
the job interview. The ages of his children are one, six,
and ten. He was arrested for. Do you think he
should have been arrested?

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Did he take any did he tell anybody in McDonald's look, y'all?

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
Did he put them on point? Like? Do he know them?

Speaker 17 (01:14:08):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
If he you know? What I'm saying is that McDonald's
he go to all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
When's the last time you've been to McDonald's with a ballpick?

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
I don't know because they all look like urgent cares now.

Speaker 6 (01:14:17):
It's like, and you know why they got rid of
the ball pitch because they were dangerous? Yeah, because they
were safety habs of the kids. And that's when you
leave your children.

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
You played it when you was a kid. I played
playing in no goddamn ballpits when I was a kid,
and he had a ball pits in South did but
I don't remember playing them.

Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
But they have child neglect laws for a reason. This
was child negligent, y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:14:37):
Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Let's
discuss it's the breakfast club come on, let's go to
Breafast Club Court the breakfast club calling everybody's dj n
V Jess hilarious, Charlomagne the guy, we are the breakfast
club if he's just joining us. Charlemagne gave Donkey of
the Day to a young man named Christy Lewis. He's

(01:14:59):
twenty four year years old. He has three children, one
six and ten, and.

Speaker 6 (01:15:03):
He was arrested for leaving his kids at a McDonald's
while he attended a job interview.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
He left the kids at the McDonald's for.

Speaker 6 (01:15:09):
Almost two hours, a ten year old, a six year
old and a one year old while he went to
go to.

Speaker 4 (01:15:16):
A job interview. Yeah, I deserve he deserves donkey today,
But I just don't want to see that brother go
to jail. It's like he was trying to better his life.
Like I said, if he was at the club, if
he was at a chick's house, if he was doing
something illegal, I would understand it. But he was trying
to better himself. He made a dumb decision. He's twenty
four years old. He had this baby at fourteen years
Oh my god, this baby at fourteen.

Speaker 6 (01:15:38):
You don't jeopardize your child's safety. In the pursuit of employment,
because there is no job on this planet that would
make up for something happening to your child. If he
would have left his kids there for two hours then
they were kidnapped or when of suffocated in the ball
of pitch.

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
There's not a job in the world.

Speaker 6 (01:15:57):
That he would have gotten that would have made up
for that. So no, I DEI donkey not getting Look,
that's not us. There's child negligence laws for a reason,
and this is child negligence. And guess what nv you
say that? But if you had a babysitter, you, if
you hired somebody to watch your kids and your kid
is just if that baby should have just left your
kids somewhere unattended for two hours and the first person

(01:16:19):
wanted them crazy. Listen to the Hello, who's this auto?

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):

Thoughts that you're right and we need to take charlotne
I need for him to step down off that cloud

Like you said, there needs to be community already in
a place so that the young man don't even have
to have a thought process like that. And I just
feel like that I get your dunk the other day
is so good, Charlottagne. But I think today when you

(01:16:58):
read that, I don't know. I guess you still in
yourself because you got your foot crossing, but you had
no heart or sympathy per dude like this man trying
to work. You see how I mean to canc Ho.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
Do you see that he comey today?

Speaker 21 (01:17:08):
Oh? Yeah, you do, because you're always talking about it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:11):
Can I ask you a question?

Speaker 6 (01:17:12):
Because I did say during Donkey I have empathy for him,
But I want to ask you a question. You tell
me a job in this world that is worth jeopardizing
your child's safety, because if something would have happened to
those kids in those two hours, let's say let's say
one of the kids would have suffocated in the ball pitch.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
Well, let's say they would have got kidnapped.

Speaker 6 (01:17:28):
What job could he have possibly gotten that would have
been worth that?

Speaker 21 (01:17:32):
There is no job?

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
Ask who question?

Speaker 21 (01:17:37):
How do you answer your question?

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
Food as.

Speaker 21 (01:17:43):
Or to answer your question though it's not about the
job that that that he's going that's jeopard out of
his kid. That means thought process. He's trying to put
food on his table, he's trying to work, he's trying
to provide best that he know how. You just broke
down the factor that this man has a six year
old and he's twenty one years That frame does to

(01:18:05):
stop develveing into your twenty five.

Speaker 6 (01:18:07):
Absolutely, but you still don't jeopardize your child's safety in
the pursuit of employment. And not nobody calling up here
who got kids would leave their kids somewhere unattended for
two hours.

Speaker 5 (01:18:17):
A ten year old, a six year old, and a
one year old.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
I didn't know one person. I don't know one person.
If I need somebody worked at the McDonald's. YO, watch
damn keep out in from you something.

Speaker 6 (01:18:26):
I wonder how the mom feels because the mom, the
mom came to get the kids late. I wonder how
she feel about this situation.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
Hello, who's this?

Speaker 11 (01:18:32):
Hi?

Speaker 21 (01:18:33):
This was Martellton.

Speaker 4 (01:18:35):
All right, hotel, what's your thoughts?

Speaker 22 (01:18:36):
I feel like, yeah, you should have been arrested, but
they also need to be leaning in on him. And
that's coming from a mother who raised you kids alone.
And I've had that situation. I used to take my
kids to work with me when I work thirty shift
at a hotel. Sometimes you really don't have the means
to find somebody a babysit. I have a lot of
family in Traunca, but there were times where people just

(01:18:57):
didn't want to do it because I didn't have the
money to pay age, or somebody worked with different shift
and things happen like they need to get some some resources.
I mean, he's twenty.

Speaker 21 (01:19:07):
Four years old, but three has the kids.

Speaker 22 (01:19:09):
That's like a lot for somebody at the age.

Speaker 6 (01:19:11):
And I can ask you a question. You said you
took your kids to work with you. Would you ever
think of just leaving them someplace unattended while you was
at work.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
No? No, she said he should be arrested. They should
just be leanient.

Speaker 5 (01:19:24):
I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:25):
Yeah, thank you mama.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
That's a good Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
Who's this teacher?

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
Good morning?

Speaker 4 (01:19:31):
What's your thoughts?

Speaker 21 (01:19:31):
T shirt Sola man?

Speaker 4 (01:19:34):
I think you need to relax, TA take us off?

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
You said.

Speaker 6 (01:19:39):
The man trying y'all are missing, And you know what's
so funny? I started DONKEYO. I started donkey of to
day off by saying, if that is your mindset, you
missing the bigger point.

Speaker 4 (01:19:48):
You got kids, man, I.

Speaker 21 (01:19:49):
Definitely do have three kids, and one of them is
that same little boy age.

Speaker 4 (01:19:53):
I'm twenty three, so so.

Speaker 5 (01:19:54):
You, twenty three. Would you if you had a ten
year old a six year.

Speaker 4 (01:19:57):
Out of one year old?

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:19:58):
No, no, no, no, twenty.

Speaker 6 (01:20:00):
Three Okay, sure, But I'm saying, if you had a
when your son was ten, would you leave your ten
year old, your six year old, and your one year
old unattended at a restaurant for two hours?

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
No?

Speaker 23 (01:20:10):
I'm definitely not doing that. But I have left my
ten year old in.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
My six year old at home with each.

Speaker 23 (01:20:16):
Other because they were mature enough to stay.

Speaker 21 (01:20:18):
That bout this though, I'm just saying that everybody's situation
is different.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
He was their wrong.

Speaker 23 (01:20:23):
It was very irresponsible, but don't y today that's.

Speaker 4 (01:20:26):
A bit munch.

Speaker 9 (01:20:27):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:20:27):
I think he deserved donkey. I just don't think he
deserves to go to jail like he does. He deserves donkey,
but going to jail, I just think it's I mean,
the man was doing his best, like he made a
stupid decision, and the dumb decision, thank god nothing happened
to his kids, but he wasn't doing anything stupid and
crooked He wasn't like he was going to the club.
He wasn't going to the mall. He wasn't shopping, he
wasn't checking the chick. He was trying to better his life.

(01:20:49):
Stupid decision, But I don't think he should go to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
It would have been better if he did leave him
in the house. It's hard to get kidnapped in the house. Word,
you know what I mean? Like it would have been
I think it would have been better if he did
leave them in the house. They're familiar with everything. You
can still get hurt in the house.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
But that one year old, that's the that's the tricky one.
The ten year and six year old, you can say, oh,
but that one year old year old?

Speaker 5 (01:21:08):
What about?

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
What about the one year old? One year old? Like
take like, leaving that woman is the biggest thing. It's
the most difficult thing. Bro, you got kids. What are
you talking about before ten years.

Speaker 6 (01:21:21):
Twenty twenty five, You're just gonna leave your three kids
unattended somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
Small, I'm not talking about it's a good decision. I
don't want the man to be arrested.

Speaker 6 (01:21:29):
Don't jeopardize your child's safety in the pursuit of employment,
because once again, there is no job on this planet
that would make up for something happening to your children.

Speaker 4 (01:21:40):
What is wrong with us just going to but that employment,
that employment is probably paying for rick, That employment is
probably paying for food, That employee paying for DAYCID.

Speaker 6 (01:21:50):
That employment, they gonna bring your kids back if something
bad happened. But it ain't got nothing did happen.

Speaker 4 (01:21:54):
But I'm not saying it's right.

Speaker 5 (01:21:56):
Believe your kids somewhere would happen when they do that.

Speaker 6 (01:22:01):
He mad already, he just thinking about it, He just
even thinking about it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:06):
What are we doing him? Jess, you got little money
on the side of bail me out?

Speaker 6 (01:22:12):
And once again, you know who I would love to
talk to in this situation, those those kids mother. Because
the mother came to pick them up at six eighteen.
The mother probably was thinking, what the hell you doing
leaving my kids for two hours?

Speaker 4 (01:22:22):
I'm sure eight hundred five eight five one oh five one,
what's your thought? Let's discuss. It's the breakfast Club. Good
morning morning, everybody. It's dj n V Jess, Hilarius Charlomagne,
the guy we are the breakfast club. If he's just
joining us, we're talking about donkey to day. Charlamagne gave
donkey to day to a young man named Chris. He
had a job interview. He has a one year old
or six year old and a ten year old, and

(01:22:42):
he decided to leave Matt McDonald's while he did the
job interview. He left him there from about four thirty
to six.

Speaker 6 (01:22:47):
Fifteen thirty six eighteen almost two six eight and then
the mother came to pick him up.

Speaker 4 (01:22:53):
So my thing is where was the mother from the beginning?
Charlemagne gave him donkey to day. I agree with the donkey.
I just don't think he should be a rest for it.
The mother was probably you had job in the right Hello.

Speaker 5 (01:23:03):
Who's this?

Speaker 4 (01:23:03):
Afbs from Alvin busy with up told us, what's your thoughts?

Speaker 9 (01:23:07):
Man?

Speaker 13 (01:23:07):
I feel, I guess empathy for the guy.

Speaker 14 (01:23:10):
Uh, you know, I feel bad for him that he
ended up going to jail. But I didn't know that
parental paranoia was a thing until we had our first kid,
and I just couldn't see myself leaving my kids anywhere
while I was somewhere from was two hours.

Speaker 5 (01:23:20):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:23:21):
I wrote about that in my second book, got a
whole chapter called parental paranoid, the anxiety, the anxiety that
you have just being a parent.

Speaker 5 (01:23:28):
I couldn't do that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
Yeah, I mean I couldn't do that. Hello, who's this?

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
Hello?

Speaker 4 (01:23:35):
What's your thoughts? Shima?

Speaker 23 (01:23:36):
How are you shocking? So? So just real quick, Charlemagne,
you were a little hard on him because I have
a sister in a similar situation. We grew up in
foster care. So my sister she has six kids, literally
six kids, sheep out in New York. Everybody's took to
tell you to call these resources, but have you ever
tried to call some of these resorces. Nobody answers the phone,

(01:23:59):
nobody gets at you. Like, there's so many it's it's
easy to say, call these resources. I've called the resources
for my sister. She has six kidschies out there in
New York. She has vouchers for daycare. There's no daycare
seats available, So there's there's just so many different Like,
there's so many factors that could have played into it,

(01:24:20):
and it is unfortunate that this young man got arrested.
But Charlie Magne, you're saying, oh, he could have had
he could have had a babysuit, he could have had whatever.
He could have also left his kids at home and
something could have happened to them at home. It's just
so many scenarios. But it's just unfortunate that this man
has gotten arrest. They're trying to.

Speaker 21 (01:24:37):
Better his life for his kids.

Speaker 13 (01:24:38):
And I live in.

Speaker 23 (01:24:39):
Georgia, and trust me when I tell you the resources
are not resourcing here for these family.

Speaker 5 (01:24:45):
You know, you know what else Georgia. You know what
Georgia has, what high sex trafficking.

Speaker 4 (01:24:54):
You go to the airport and the Georgia Human trafficking
is big in Georgia. You know that, Charlemaine, you.

Speaker 23 (01:24:59):
Act like aren't getting snatched out from their own homes?

Speaker 5 (01:25:02):
That's right, So why why make it?

Speaker 4 (01:25:04):
Why make it?

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
Why make it easy? Why why make it easier for them?

Speaker 23 (01:25:08):
You even said he went back to check on the children.
You just don't know the full story to give these
shown men, donk. The other day, I do think that
you kind of forget where you're coming from a little.

Speaker 6 (01:25:17):
Bit tooons are not available.

Speaker 4 (01:25:25):
Can I say something?

Speaker 23 (01:25:27):
Can I tell you this?

Speaker 6 (01:25:28):
Can I say something to y'all? I know that, but
y'all keep saying I forgot where I come from. My
mama would never leave me unattended anywhere at ten years
Like at times, yeople, this young man.

Speaker 23 (01:25:44):
May attempts to try to better himself. He went back
to check up on his children. It's just unfortunate that
everything's playing out the way they play it out, and
the mom was able to get the children.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
We don't know.

Speaker 23 (01:25:55):
Maybe the mama was not working, they had an agreement
to meet up after McDonald's to get the kids a
certain time. We just don't know. But those resources are
not available, especially in our community. They are not available
like you think they are, and they be a number.
But trust me when I tell you can you cannot
reach anybody.

Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
On the fault.

Speaker 5 (01:26:14):
I'm realizing it trop.

Speaker 23 (01:26:15):
Me when I tell you I see it with my sister.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:26:18):
I'm realizing that people care more about money than they
do their kids.

Speaker 5 (01:26:23):
Let me finish.

Speaker 6 (01:26:24):
Our job as men is to protect and provide facts.
Protect comes before provision for a reason. You don't jeopardize
your child's safety in the pursuit of employment. Because I'm
gonna say this for the last time, there is no
job on this planet that he could have gotten that
would make up for something happening to his child in
that McDonald's.

Speaker 4 (01:26:44):
And I agree with you whole heartily, and I agree
with you he deserves Donkey Today. I just don't like
to see the brother getting arrested. I didn't say you
did they see the brother getting arrested and put on
this record when he was trying to do better. He's
twenty four years old, he's a young dad. Obviously he's
struggling out there and he needed that opportunity. We don't
know what happened if the Baby City canceled last minute,

(01:27:05):
but he was trying to do is right. You know,
we see so many stories where people leave their kids
in the cars anymore crack to go to the club
and do some negative stuff. He was trying to better himself.
He made a stupid decision. Thank god nothing happened to
his kids. I just would hate to see that on
his record where he can't get a better job for that.
As I said, no snack him on his hand. You
give him the resource, you explained to him what it was,
and then as a community we uplift him.

Speaker 6 (01:27:26):
As I said during Donkey Today, if that's your mindset,
you missing the bigger picture. The bigger picture is you
don't jeopardize your child's safety and the pursuit of employment,
because anything could have happened to those kids. Like my
mind don't even work like that, Like I'm not leaving
no children unattended where I go run off to do
something real quick, especially in a McDonald's.

Speaker 5 (01:27:46):
Yeah, fast food restaurant.

Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
But that tells you how bad it probably was. That
he has to pay rent, he has to pay for
that food, and they probably struggling. He probably needs this
job and his money. And it was either look, I
got to put my kids in daycare. I gotta pay
these bills. And we all talk.

Speaker 6 (01:27:58):
About how you said if somebody left your kids unattended,
you'd be the first person calling the police.

Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
No, I wouldn't call the police. I would have to
go to jail because my kids they're alone by themselves.
I don't watch them. Why what because you don't leave
my kids?

Speaker 6 (01:28:12):
But I don't know what if the person that the
person I have the same herd that Hey, what about
the babies a job? They have a job that person
I'm not.

Speaker 5 (01:28:22):
They still gotta go do they still got to go
make money?

Speaker 3 (01:28:24):
Else?

Speaker 5 (01:28:25):
Leave your kids this real job a couple of hours
to get some money.

Speaker 4 (01:28:29):
But I'm also the type of person. If I'm in
McDonald's and the brother told me and see me and say, yo, bro,
can you watch my kids for a little bit while
I do, I would say he wants the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
I would do that something like that. You have no questions.

Speaker 4 (01:28:38):
If he said he had a job interview and I
believed him, I would sit there and watch it. You
wouldn't ask no questions. You wouldn't be they say.

Speaker 6 (01:28:46):
And then when the police were be like, Hey, this
Dominican just kicknap these three kids.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
What you mean somebody just left this kid just gonna
lead it? What's up?

Speaker 5 (01:28:54):
What's up with us?

Speaker 4 (01:28:55):
As the people that nice for y'all?

Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
And then yo, I wonder if the person will call
the police. Did they least like get the kids some
meat first, or they just straight called the police. I
know it's like you're hungry, will be my first? You know,
like I just want to get them some meat and
then call the police.

Speaker 6 (01:29:12):
All right, saluted that salute to that person too. But
by the way, that's another scenario that we didn't think about. Right,
If you're that father, you know that you're taking a
criminal chance leaving these kids.

Speaker 5 (01:29:22):
So now that the police doesn't been called.

Speaker 6 (01:29:25):
Is that worth it because to your point of me,
now it's on your record, it's making it harder for
you to get a job.

Speaker 4 (01:29:29):
Right, all right, Well, we got the latest with Lauren
coming up next to the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Lauren
be coming a straight fast. She gets them. Somebody that knows,
somebody gets the detail.

Speaker 7 (01:29:40):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 4 (01:29:43):
She'd be having the latest on you. The latest with
Lauren la Rosa.

Speaker 5 (01:29:48):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything. It's the latest on
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 16 (01:29:56):
Alrighty guys, So we have some serious political focus news
that we need to discuss right now.

Speaker 7 (01:30:04):
I've printed out a chart that is very important.

Speaker 16 (01:30:06):
Please take a mvy Okay, I got let's go. The
United States of America and all that good stuff relies
on this next report. So we right now are taking
a look at Elon Musk's family chart. Elon Musk, as
it seems today, has fourteen kids. Jesus, according to this
chart posted by The Shave Room and various other.

Speaker 4 (01:30:27):
Outlets, can afford them.

Speaker 7 (01:30:28):
He can yes for baby mamas.

Speaker 16 (01:30:31):
Now more recently, one of his baby moms she's been
giving him at double hockey sticks. Oh baby, she's the one. Okay,
So there is one of his one of his newer kids.
The name has not been revealed.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
Revealed.

Speaker 4 (01:30:44):
Yeah, five baby mamas.

Speaker 1 (01:30:48):
The second wife dodged the bullet.

Speaker 7 (01:30:51):
Okay, well, let's back it up.

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
Welcome, I had that one was crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:30:55):
Okay, well, welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:31:01):
We're going through some very serious US political news, right,
So Elon Musk, Yes, so there's four baby moms. One
of the wives dodged the bullet, as just said, she
did not have any kids his second wife.

Speaker 5 (01:31:13):
That's what you mean, bullet.

Speaker 4 (01:31:18):
I don't know he don't even do not because.

Speaker 7 (01:31:21):
You're about to get there.

Speaker 16 (01:31:22):
And I also don't know what the prenup situation was
or wasn't, so she could still be good even though
she don't have a kid.

Speaker 7 (01:31:27):
She was married to him and they remarried at one.

Speaker 16 (01:31:29):
Just know what she's doing, I'm sure, Okay, But yeah,
so there's a the newer baby mama. Her name is
Ashley Saint Clair and last month she filed two petitions
against Elon Musk because she wanted to get a court
ordered praternity test because she went soul custody of her baby.
The baby is around like six or seven months old,
and she's claimed she's claiming that you know the baby

(01:31:52):
that she's sharing with Elon. He is now starting to
financially retaliate against her. And this is so, this has
been out there for about a month. But yesterday Monday,
Elon Musk responded on X and he said, I don't
know if the child is mine or not, but I
am not against finding out. No court order is needed
despite not knowing for sure. I have given Ashley two

(01:32:12):
point five million and I'm sending her five hundred thousand
dollars a year now, Ashley responding, No.

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
He ain't black, go ahead.

Speaker 16 (01:32:22):
Ashley responded to this and said, Elon, we actually to
confirm paternity through a test before our child who you named,
was even born, but you refused, and you weren't sending
me money. You were sending support for your child that
you thought was necessary until you withdrew most of it
to maintain control and punish me for being disobedient.

Speaker 7 (01:32:40):
But you really are only punishing your son.

Speaker 16 (01:32:42):
It's ironic that your last effort of court was to
try and gag me gag order while you use social
media to channel by you social media to channel you
literally you literally.

Speaker 7 (01:32:53):
Own I don't know.

Speaker 16 (01:32:54):
Oh, she's saying that he's basically using social media to
throw derogatory statements out there, but he wants her.

Speaker 7 (01:32:58):
To be quiet.

Speaker 4 (01:32:59):
I noticed that one Jay, look at you real hard.
You can't read.

Speaker 7 (01:33:02):
I didn't even know she was looking at got you
acting real crazy? Okay, focused, This is very important political
news right here. She says America needs you to grow up.
And she called him a child, a man child.

Speaker 16 (01:33:15):
So this is news because people are like WHOA, five
hundred thousand dollars a year and in total two point
five million dollars and the baby is maybe about seven
and eight.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
Months and he don't know if it's his for sure.
That's why I said, this is so ghatto.

Speaker 4 (01:33:32):
What's wrong with the half million dollars a year though.

Speaker 7 (01:33:34):
I don't think it's anything. I think we weren't just
like WHOA. That's a lot of money for her.

Speaker 4 (01:33:39):
To not know if the baby is his or not.
That's what he's saying. He's the world's richest man. I
feel no drop a.

Speaker 7 (01:33:45):
This is not her sympathy.

Speaker 16 (01:33:47):
I just think that it's kind of interesting how he
has all these baby mamas. It's a ton of drama
because him and Grimes when his other kids. Mom used
to be in the news a lot too, And people
don't touch.

Speaker 1 (01:33:56):
This, and she was just literal, who won't touch what?
They don't touch what ain't nobody gonna have a come family?
But nothing all the time. But what are they supposed
to say?

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
Wanted to Nick Cannon jokes.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
Saying no, not even jokes. Didn't Grime six when she said,

A dash twelve?

Speaker 7 (01:34:21):
Envy, look at your chart.

Speaker 6 (01:34:22):
Yeah, being the richest man in the world and you know,
potentially being a deadbeat is disgusted.

Speaker 4 (01:34:27):
But having a bunch of kids is not a crime.

Speaker 7 (01:34:29):
It's not a crime.

Speaker 16 (01:34:30):
I just I think it's I just I think it's
pretty interesting that these things happen. And then it's just like, oh, okay,
well we're moving on next t weeek. Yeah, well, you
guys keep this chart near and deer because I'm sure
there will be more.

Speaker 7 (01:34:40):
Because actually, Saint Claire ain't letting up on him.

Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:34:44):
At all.

Speaker 16 (01:34:44):
She was actually out recently too, she was she recorded
a video selling her tesla. She says she was trying
to make up for the money that Eli's not giving
her any more, allegedly because she's you know.

Speaker 1 (01:34:53):
And then there was one it was either crimes or
Ashley Saint Clair said it was health issues going on
with the baby and he would not pay for them
or something like that. I think that was about little
a Dash twelve.

Speaker 4 (01:35:04):

Speaker 4 (01:35:08):

Speaker 16 (01:35:32):
Well, right now this morning, actually in about an hour,
there will be a protest for Wendy Williams. This protest
is supposed to be taking place just to let you know,
people know more, I guess of not even letting them
know more, but keep bringing awordeness to you know, the
conservativeship and her wanting to get out of the conservative
ship and things of that nature. But I am told
that Wendy did not herself organize this protest. She does

(01:35:55):
appreciate it, though she appreciates it, but she did not
organize this protest organized it. There's it's I think it's
just like someone who's been following the Free Windy movement,
like one of the you know, super fans who wanted
to get people together because they were doing stuff like
this when it came to the Free Britney situation.

Speaker 4 (01:36:09):

some audio in New York and that's one in LA.
Don't play with Wendy. They got good on both coasts.

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
Okay, Now where's the one? Is it outside her the jail?

Speaker 7 (01:36:29):
It is supposed to be outside of the luxury prison.

Speaker 16 (01:36:31):
However, I am told that the luxury prison will probably
not go forward, so they're probably.

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
Moving across the street.

Speaker 7 (01:36:38):
You change my shoes, I know, I really am.

Speaker 4 (01:36:41):
Because Wendy gonna come to the window, I was gonna
say yes.
