Speaker 4 (04:14):
What's up to me?
Speaker 9 (04:15):
Good morning, Envy, char Lamagne j that's how y'all doing?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Good?
Speaker 9 (04:18):
Are good morning.
Speaker 10 (04:21):
All right, Well, we start this morning with important news
for families nationwide. The government shut down now in day
twenty one, and the impact is starting to hit home
very closely. So in Pennsylvania, food assistants payments are frozen,
and millions more across the country could be next a
state officials say snap recipients there will not receive benefits
(04:41):
scheduled for November as a Department of Human Services waits
for the federal funds to be released. Now recipients they
will be notified once payments do resume, but for now,
families are being urged to call two one one or
visit Feeding Pennsylvania and PA navigate for immediate help. That
the state is also finding residents to keep up with
your renewal reports or any changes in income or household
(05:05):
size while payments are paused. In Pennsylvania, Governor Joshapiro says
this shut down is no longer just about a political standoff.
It's now having real consequences for everyday Americans. Let's listen
to that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
There's a lot of challenges there.
Speaker 11 (05:19):
I hope our colleagues in Washington will come together and
get this passed. And of course this is on the
heels of the Congress of the United States voting to
knock five hundred and ten thousand Pennsylvanians off of Medicaid
one hundred and forty thousand off of SNAP in order
to give a tax cut for people who.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Don't need it.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
These are people who just need a little bit of
extra help be able to put food on the table
for them and their families.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
That's just cruel and unusual punishment.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
The holidays are right around the corner, and now folks
aren't going to be able to eat. And you know,
for all the individuals out there who like to say, well,
why don't they just get a job, so many these
people have jobs, you idiot. Okay, but the cost of
living is so high that some people can't avoid that.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You know, keep a roof over their head and put
food on the table.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
So that's why it's snapping, you know, the EBT and
those benefits, work wake and.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
All of that other stuff.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Absolutely, and Pennsylvania is just the first state to officially
halt November payments. It's likely, though it will not be
the last. Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, New York, and
West Virginia They have all warned that their programs could
run out of money by October twenty seventh, which is
less than a week away if this shutdown continues. And
(06:29):
as you just mentioned, you know SNAP, formerly known as
Food Stamp Charlemagne, it helps about forty two million Americans,
that's roughly one in eight people put food on the table.
The US Department of Agriculture says it can tap into
limited reserve funds, but.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
That won't cover everyone for long. And so meanwhile, the.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
Lawmakers, they are still at a shutdown, They're still at
a standstill. The Senate once again it failed yesterday to
reopen the government, marking the eleventh time that they have
failed to break that stalemate.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So when the people shall have nothing more to eat,
they will eat the rich. And don't think that rich
means people with just excessive amounts of money. It means
people who just have a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Than you do.
Speaker 10 (07:12):
Absolutely, and if you're one of the millions of people
waiting on student loan forgiveness, this could finally be the
break that you've been hoping for. The Trump administration is
quietly restarting debt relief programs that have been frozen for months.
A new agreement between the Department of Education and the
American Federation of Teachers will allow the government to resume
(07:33):
processing loan forgiveness for borrowers and two income based repayment plans,
the Income Contingent Repayment Plan or ICR, and the payment
the pay as you earn Plan. Now, both plans they
let borrowers make smaller payments tied to their income, and
any balance left over in about twenty or twenty five
years can.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
Be wiped away.
Speaker 10 (07:52):
Earlier this year, the Trump administration they pause forgiveness for
those plans, saying they needed to review court filings, and
that move, of course, left millions of borrowers and limbo
not sure if win or if they'll ever be able
to pay off those remaining balances, or if those balances
will be canceled. Now, under this new deal, those forgiveness
programs will start up again, though well they'll be canceled now,
(08:14):
but they will start up again, both the ICR.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
And pay as you pay as you earn plan.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
They are set to end in twenty twenty eight under
President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, so they are back on
for now, but they will expire again in a couple
of years because of the big beautiful bill. So they're
warning everyone to go ahead and get your paperwork together,
so just in case, you need to pay as much
as you can right now before it's set to end
(08:39):
again in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 9 (08:40):
So we'll continue to watch that as well.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
All right, thank you me, all.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Right, well, come home, coming up at seven.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
A new wave of scams is costing Americans millions, and
even Congress can't stop it. Will tell you what it
is and how it's probably already affecting you.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest eight
hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
need to vent, phone lines of wide open again eight
hundred and five eight five one five one. Call us
up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Make up, Wake up, y'all. Ask if you're trying to
get it off.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Your chest, your man or blessed, we want to hear
from you on the breakfast BLUs.
Speaker 12 (09:19):
Hello, who's this faster from Jersey?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Hey, Tasha from Jersey. Get it off your chest, mama. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (09:25):
So, first of all, I just want to say I
am very blessed to work in the industry. That I
worked in. However, that snap benefits thing is actually going
to asset Jersey residents too. We just got the noticification
yesterday that they're gonna lose benefits as of November first.
And I am a case manager that works with survivors
(09:46):
of domestic violence, So most of the people I work with,
you don't even have job skills, Like some of these
guys really you know, marry them and kind of like
kept them in a little bubble and they don't have
any job skills to be able to go out there
and get job skills. And I'm helping them get there,
(10:08):
but they're not there yet. So it's just a bad time.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
But you know, crazy even for the people who have jobs,
like you know, like I said earlier, they're making enough
money to probably pay their rent, but they may not
have the money for food.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
And that's what it's not benefits and stuff come in.
Speaker 12 (10:27):
Yes, And I am I will say wholeheartedly I see
that because I see the teaments that you know, they
have to make for rents, and I see how much
money they're making, and I'm like, Yo, how are you
doing it? But I will say, shout out to my job.
I can't say the name of the company. I wish
I could, but I can't. I don't want people to know,
(10:48):
you know this this company, because these are survivors of
domestic violence, and some of these people are hiding from
very scary people. But my job does a very good
job at rais and money and you know, like putting
reserves away, and I managed some of the budget for
our ladies. So even if they lose their snap benefits,
(11:10):
I think I got enough gift card to hold me
over until January.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
So okay, well, thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, that's a good idea, you know. That's what I
was telling folks too. Man, find a food bank in
your area. Man, find a food pantry in your area. Area,
and you know, donate some money to them if you
got it, or donate some food to them if you
got it. You know, I work with the Food Bank
NYC dot org and Harlem. I'm an ambassador for them,
and I work with the Hope Center in Charleston, South Carolina.
(11:36):
So just find a food bank in your area, man,
and and donate some money some resources to them, because boy,
it's gonna be a cold one.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Hello.

Speaker 13 (11:48):

chaotic in this country, man, with these cutting little benefits
and people not getting paid and whatnot. It's about to
get rough. Rugget the rod out here, man. Trust me
when I tell you, y'all remember that old analogy that
all two about me decades ago, about people outside singing

Speaker 2 (12:28):

It hasn't even been a year.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Hasn't even been a year, man, Thank you. Brother.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they
will eat the rich. Trust me when I tell you

Speaker 15 (13:16):
Early voting for the mayoral New York City mayoral racers
starts on Saturday. But we still don't got no good candidates, bro,
I mean between Fomo and MN Donnie after coming to
Eric Adams just kind of still looking like he's a
man because there are no good candidates here.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Don't forget Curtis Well, he's out there too.
Speaker 15 (13:37):
And Curtis was there, but let's be real, courtsee was
not making any ways in New York City.
Speaker 13 (13:42):
He's a Republican.
Speaker 15 (13:42):
He's not gonna get any votes.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Right, But between mcnie, I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
People people be liking he's.
Speaker 15 (13:49):
Gonna get votes, but his votes are not gonna be
some castials for him to.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Win the race.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Single digits.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I still I think I believe the episode was think.
Speaker 15 (13:59):
About it don't you hate lesser of to Eegle's politics,
because like, honestly mcdonne has no experience. Right, as much
as he wants to say that he's gonna do things,
he can't do them because he needs cooperation from the
other side to work anything out. So you can say
you're gonna do stuff, but you can't do it without
the other side.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
And then quoo.
Speaker 15 (14:18):
I mean, we already see what Koma did a government,
right He's gonna put the city up even more, you know,
it was like New York is in a conundrum right now.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
We speak to a lot of the older, older people
and the older individuals. They don't like Madonna because they
feel like he doesn't have experience. They said, he's never
done it before. What experience does he have of being mayor?
So that that's the major problem with a lot of
the older people when it comes to him.
Speaker 15 (14:37):
And a lot of the things that he says are radical.
So if that gets extreme, but you need cooperation to
do that. Politicians is people working together. So I mean,
I don't know what's gonna happen for the city for
the next couple of years.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
So you're not are you voting? Are you gonna vote
voting for it.
Speaker 15 (14:51):
I'm gonna vote, of course, I'm gonna vote. But like
I'm still up up in the air, who's gonna vote for?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
That's why.
Speaker 15 (14:57):
That's why I'm trying to get off my chest because
I don't know. I'm confused at this point.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Got you, got you. That's a personal decision you got
to make.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
They were also saying that Madonna, he says things and
then tries to backtrack a lot of it. He keeps
apologizing for the things he said earlier that that that
was when I was speaking to like the older community
that was like seventy and seventy up. That's what they
were saying about him.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 3 (15:16):

Speaker 6 (19:20):
We gotta collab.
Speaker 18 (19:21):
This is a part of it. But y'all will be
saying that on my social so make sure you guys
are following. No, but I'm doing a collab with foot Locker.
I'm going to collabor with foot Locker and it's centering
around black designers. So she is one of the designers
that I'm wearing in the collab that will actually be
dropping on on socials today.
Speaker 19 (19:41):
All right, So let's get to this right.
Speaker 18 (19:43):
So Nicki Minaj is on X right now and she
is sounding off following our interview with Gucci Mani Kisha
ki Or his wife, and she says, Gucci wife has
been trying to be me for years, been dying for
the spotlight for years. She's there to keep Gucci sedated.
Gucci hates the Who's black and Flacka's mom. They don't
want deb around me. She's around me now. Charlottagne de Fraud,
(20:05):
jay Z's friend and business associate, using iHeartRadio for these
disgusting ploys against innocent families. He was around Wendy before
her life went to hell. The buck stops here, baby,
bookmark this tweet. Y'all really don't do not understand who
I really am. Bring it, let's play, y'all wanted attention,
Let's do it. Then she starts talking to the LAPD
about something we have nothing to do with, and she's
(20:26):
sending to Republic Records that they need to stand up
for her any day now.
Speaker 19 (20:30):
Then she says, you'll regret it now. I've been going
down a red.
Speaker 18 (20:36):
So what I believe happened is when we talked to
Keisha ki Or about what she does to help protect
the brand of you know, Gucci and her as well
when he's going through his episodes. And I believe that
Nicki Minaj is responding to that because it's one or
two things. It's either that, because she talked about keeping
(20:56):
him off of social media and deleting apps, and we
have that clip in a second, but fans were having
a conversation about whether or not Nicki Mi and I
his husband should be doing that for her. Let's take
a listen to what Kisha ki Or said about the
apps and deleting and when she was here, it.
Speaker 20 (21:10):
Was really really bad. It's really sad because you're seeing
someone you don't know. They're saying things to you that
are disrespectful, so mean, and you have to just like,
but I'm not talking to Gucci. Who is this person?
Speaker 14 (21:22):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
So?
Speaker 18 (21:23):
I felt like, was it like just trying to protect
the business that you guys have built?
Speaker 19 (21:27):
Wow, I have a personally. I take his apps off
his phone. First thing I do.
Speaker 20 (21:31):
I delete Instagram, I delete everything. Even if I got
to change his password, I'm changing it because I don't
need the public to know he's having an episode. You
realize you'd never know about any other episodes since September thirteen,
because I control that because you're not going on Instagram,
you're not going on Twitter. It's deleted and now before
the episodes come, I catch it. So that's why he
(21:52):
hasn't had another one. And how you catch that is
he doesn't speak to you, he wants to be left alone,
he don't eat, he does not sleep, text messages, there's
a period after each word, and I'm like, you're going
through an episode.
Speaker 19 (22:03):
You're sick. No, I'm not, ain't not wrong with me?
Speaker 20 (22:06):
Why do you think that you're not speaking to me?
Speaker 19 (22:08):
Well, there's nothing to talk about. I said, well, that's
not how you speak to your wife.
Speaker 20 (22:11):
And I'm like, you're sick and we snap out of
it right then.
Speaker 19 (22:15):
Yeah, So I got to do a system because there's a.
Speaker 18 (22:18):
Lot of fans online having a conversation right now following
her interview if whether or not Kenneth, who's Nicki Minaj's husband,
should be doing the same for Nicki Minaj because she's
online and there's a lot of things that she's saying
and she shot you.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Know me, why did she come at Keisha? I don't understand, Like,
what does that? What did anything Keisha have to say
had to.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Do with her.
Speaker 18 (22:39):
I'm not just listening at this point. I'm piecing together
puzzle a puzzle.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Nikki is reading what the thing?
Speaker 19 (22:45):
Yeah, because yes, that's what I think.
Speaker 18 (22:48):
Now there's a My second theory here is when we
ask this question about artists that came from Gucci's camp
not showing him love.
Speaker 19 (22:55):
Let's say a listen.
Speaker 21 (22:57):
I was super embarrassed and hurt by the things I
said because because like I wasn't well then, right, So
then I got locked up. So a lot of those
people who I was saying stuff too, they were like,
I ain't they never gonna mess with me no more.
So even when I got out three years later, I
still was like, I apologized the Ross Drake Nikki like
all them people accept my apologies.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I just don't know.
Speaker 21 (23:14):
It's like a weight off my shoulders because I had
been like because I was wrong, like Ross hadn't did
nothing but help me.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
And I said someone like what you get to just
do is an iconic figure and hip hop and all
the artists he put on.
Speaker 20 (23:24):
No, but would you like to see I would like them,
all of them to acknowledge him, even if they win
an Award. Acknowledge him because he gave you the stomping ground.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Most people don't know Nicki Mina came out of that camp,
French Montana came. People know half those people we know,
but most people don't know that bosgos stuff like most.
Speaker 19 (23:44):
People because they don't say it.
Speaker 18 (23:46):
Yeah, I'm still so confused, Listen, I'm just piecing together
what I think.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
That was the only time my name was it even
are the only two times?
Speaker 18 (23:53):
Well, so that was the one time he was There
were two times her name was mentioned an interview. The
other time he talked about you apologizing to her, and
then you know, yeah, we talked about her coming out
of the you know, Gucci camp. I really don't understand
where all of this came from. That's just what I
tried to put together.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah, because she can't be upset that we had Gucci
and Keisha on here to have a much needed conversation
about Gucci dealing with his mental illness. Right like Gucci,
a man who has been clinically diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia,
a man who is on medication. Him and Keisha are
up here telling this story that will help millions of
people like Nikki couldn't possibly be mad about that.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Right, But I do agree with whatever you saw in
the comments of Kenneth need to be doing the same thing.
He should be doing the same thing for his wife
that Kisha Kor did for her husband. Absolutely, everybody, I mean,
everybody should have a person who is going to help
them when they hitting rock pile more. You know what
(24:49):
I'm saying, should or who's going through, you know, having
mental episode.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I will.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Gonna call you just with the test whatever.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Who gives a high goddamn and I'm gonna be here
to drag him again. But that's today. That's what I'm saying.
Everybody needs supporting that way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, But they always say when people let their lowest
and they're actually trying to help people, people will try
to attack that. And that's what Gucci did with this book.
He's actually really trying to help people that's going through
it and having problems with it. And because of that,
sometimes he's gonna get attacked on.
Speaker 18 (25:18):
I know people who are really big barbs, like they
follow her every move and I woke up this morning
like and they were texting me like, what did y'all do?
Speaker 19 (25:26):
What happened. They were confused as well as the Barbs
was texting you.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
I have a couple of fact Well, I have a
couple of friends who were my friends before I knew
that they were the Barbs, you know, but now I
know in recent enlighten events they steed for her.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
You know, the surety of her replying to that interview though,
I would actually like Nikki to watch that interview, or
someone around Nikki to watch that interview and maybe just
maybe get Nikki to help she needs. I'm sending Nicki
Minaj healing energy. I'm praying for her. I truly hope
she heals because that's just hurting.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Yeah, But the first, the first stuff of it is
realizing you got a problem. If she don't feel like
nothing wrong with her, then what you know what I mean,
because she probably feel like ain't nothing wrong with her.
Speaker 19 (26:07):
Yeah, when you don't, when.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
You're not aware, when you feel like ain't nothing wrong
with you, it's hard for somebody to even help you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
And that's the beauty of Gucci Man's book.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
When you read Gucci Man's book and you see that
a lot of the erratic things he used to do,
the crazy tweets, that came out of nowhere. Those were
all him having manic episods.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Wells also and also what Gucci said was getting people
around him that were there to help him. Yeah, he
said there were a lot of people there that were
making his situation worse and almost encouraging it, you know
what I mean. So to get those people away from
him was probably one of the first steps that he did.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Yep. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (26:39):
Well, kishk Or posted in a more positive light yesterday
and just said that there were so many people who
were flooding her dms that you know, either were being
a caretaker or a loved one of someone going through
those things or going through with themselves. And she says that,
you know, she felt the impact from the breakfast club
and if you so many people reached out, and she
actually posted a link on all Things Kisha ki Or
dot com and she says that you can click on
(26:59):
this session discussings with help for yourself or loved ones.
So she's trying to help people as well now to
in addition, so we and Gucci on everything.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You know. That's also I love being the boogeyman. I
really do. I have no problem.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Being because what did you do he always does.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I just show up.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
That's enough, and I promise you if you think I'm
the Illuminati, now oh.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Just wait, you just wait.
Speaker 19 (27:26):

seven to nineteen and the Lions beat the Buccanead twenty
four to nine.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
What's something to me.
Speaker 10 (29:39):
Good morning, MV Jeff h Alta Magne. How y'all doing, girl,
Good morning? All right, we'll we start this hour in Atlanta,
where authorities say a potential tragedy was stopped before it began.
A police arrested a man accused of threatening to open
fire inside the world's busiest airport. Now Police a forty
nine year old Billy Cagele of Cartersville, Georgia, was taken
(29:59):
into custody yesterday at the Atlanta Airport. Investigators say Cagel
had posted on social media that he was heading to
the airport to quote shoot it up. His family saw
the post and immediately called the police.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
They then alerted Atlanta officers.
Speaker 10 (30:14):
When officers spotted him inside the South terminal, they say
he appeared to be scoping out the t S, a
check in area that police bodycam video captured what happened
next the moment officers moved in, Let's listen to some
of that.
Speaker 12 (30:29):
How are you, what are.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Your what are your reasons at the airport right now?
Speaker 17 (30:35):
Airport?
Speaker 9 (30:39):
What kind of cars?
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Kind of cards were drop?
Speaker 12 (30:44):
Bull?
Speaker 19 (30:45):
Okay, we're just looking.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
We just have a situation called along.
Speaker 11 (30:48):
Oh all right, we have hands, put your hands.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Behind your back.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
They should have locked him a blow Sooner than that.
His family calls that he was going to shoot up
the airport. He at the airport, there's a truck outside.
Put him in cops first, But I'm glad they stopped
it though.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
And thank you. I thank god that.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You know, some people are stupid enough to forecast their
crimes on social media.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Don thank you.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
And then investigators they went out to that truck and
be and they found inside an AR fifteen rifle with
twenty seven rounds of ammunition.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
They believe that he was.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
Heading back into the airport to retrieve that gun the
moment he was stopped at the FBI Homeland Security.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
They are now assisting in the investigation.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
Atlanta's mayor he called it a crisis averted, and he
thanked officers and Keegele's family for turning him in.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Cagel.
Speaker 10 (31:41):
He is a convicted felon with a history of mental
health challenges. He's now facing terroristic threats and attempted aggravated
assault charges, among many other things.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
He has a history of mental health and he obviously
never got any help, no for it.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
And let's see what comes of it now.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
Yeah, well, if your favorite app wasn't working properly yesterday,
it's probably because of that massive outage at Amazon Web Services.
Dozens of popular apps and websites, from Snapchat to Spotify
to Amazon DoorDash, Netflix, they all went down. Yep, Starbucks,
a host of websites went down yesterday. The cloud computing
(32:20):
system that quietly powers a huge chunk of the Internet,
running everything from your favorite shopping apps to airline systems
to financial platforms, they all went down.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
That's according to down Detector.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
They said the problem started about three am yesterday Eastern Time,
with reports flooding in from users who couldn't log on,
make purchases, or even stream their favorite shows. Now, the
outage it caused ripple effects among different industries. From airline
they were reporting flight delays, some people couldn't access their
banking and payment apps. Clearly, some people couldn't go to Starbucks.
(32:53):
There was a lot happening. And then they said that
the experts say that a lot of money was lost,
including billions, that this this disruption could cost billions of
dollars in lost productivity. That experts warned the outage though,
could expose a deeper issue just how dependent our lives
have become on the Internet and how a brief glitch
can fracture systems that.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
We rely on every single day.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
And lastly, now to a serious problem that is affecting
everyday people just trying to live, including myself.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
I'm talking about robo calls. You guys get a lot
of robo calls?
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yeah, man, what is that? I get numbers calling you
and texting you just saying hello, or they're just calling
for years.
Speaker 9 (33:35):
Yes, yes, yes, Well.
Speaker 10 (33:37):
A new report says Americans are getting hit harder than ever.
A new consumer watchdog reports finds that robo calls and
scam texts are exploding across the country, hitting tens of
millions of Americans every single day. The report says that
Americans received get this, y'all, two point five billion robo
calls a month, so that's even that's the largest it's
(33:57):
been ever. They say that scam texts are even bigger,
with nineteen billion calls or texts a month now.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
These scams they come in many forms, fake.
Speaker 10 (34:06):
Iras, calls, bogus bank alerts, phony delivery calls, you name it.
They said that they are getting so sophisticated. Experts say
that the scammers love this because it's cheap to sin
and the payoff can be huge. And now with AI,
they're getting even more smarter, cloning voices and crafting messages
that sound even more real than ever.
Speaker 7 (34:26):
So, yes, the voice notes girl, Some of the voicemails
definitely sound like like people. I know they call them from,
like Baltimore area codes and things like that.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
And then also they'll text you. They'll even text your phone.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
I got one Sunday night, somebody text me and said,
thank you for always being there for me.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
You're truly the best. So I said, who is this
and then.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
The person said my wife's name and said, I'm the
cold this is my work number.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Don't tell me you didn't save it yet.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I said, you have the wrong though, and I immediately
tell my wife, Hey man, it's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
My wife was like, my wife is the one who
told me it was a robo calls.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
She was like, stop texting that number back, that's one
of them robotexts. I'm like, you know, I'm just trying,
you know, make sure that some woman hected me talking
about blah blah blah then the lady gonna say, ooh,
sorry for the confusing I just realized I sent that
message to the wrong number.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
It wasn't meant for you.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
My apologies for the mix up, and I hope I
didn't cause any any inconvenience. Then they said your number
drifted into my thoughts like a leaf on still water.
Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe just an echo
or something yet to be spoken. If you're open to it,
I'd love to share a few words that you. Maybe
we could become good friends.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
That is AI all day like that lifted drift.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
If you have time, let's talk calmly and share a
little bit about ourselves. Set of seven to seven eight number.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
That's how artificial intelligences be talking to you. That's how
they hit you, because then it makes you want to
tell them more and more. Not me, well, not you,
But I'm saying, like those certain people who talk to
that chip that's a chat GPT generated absolutely.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
A response right there. That's crazy.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
Yeah, it is out of control. Congress, they tried to
crack down on it in twenty nineteen. They wanted phone
companies to install software, but to this day, less than
half of even installed and so it is just getting
out of hand. So experts say the best way to
protect yourself y'all is to not answer numbers you don't know,
never click on random texts, and if something feels off,
(36:11):
it probably is.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Hey, don't click them links.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
They send you links sometimes to don't click them because
then they can access your iicloud or whatever.
Speaker 10 (36:19):
Do not get all the details to your phone. All right,
Well that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown.
Follow me I'm mei Brown TV. For more stories, follow
Black Information Network, download the free iHeartRadio app, or visit

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Thank you, Mimi, Thank you, Mimi. All right, boot, all right.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
When we come back, we have the governor of Maryland.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
That's it, all right, Merlin, you said it right, That's right.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Wes Moore will be joining us. We're gonna talk to
them next.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
You don't move.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
It's to breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Good
morning everybody. It's dj n V, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
in the building. Yes, indeed, good morning. We got your governor.
Just you already know Maryland Governor west More welcome.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
It's going to be back back of my favorite constituent.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
Just what stuff are you doing?
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Might be related the same last name. I'm saying, yeah,
that's cousin. If it's not what you say, it is.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Always yeah, makes sense, that's and everybody loves Governor Westeh.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Youin't go ahead. You ain't ever asking no pardon though
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
That was the conversation at this interview. I expunge some
stuff from me.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
How are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (37:29):
First and foremost, I'm feeling great, man. Everything's great.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Everything honestly, everything's good. It's like, you know, I say this,
thank God where Maryland? You know, because I see everything
that's going on around the country, and I see the fear,
the frustration, and I see like Maryland's just moving different.
Maryland's taking care of each other. There's no state that's
taking it on the chin from this Trump administration like Maryland.
(37:53):
I mean, like people forget. Before this ridiculous federal government
shut down, Donald Trump had already fired over fifteen thousand Marylanders,
poor federal workers, pulled grants, I mean, you know, restricted
any type of aid to our folks over in western Maryland.
Despite having historic floods. Literally, when we put in for
federal disaster relief, which we qualified for, they literally sent
(38:15):
a message back saying support from Maryland is not warranted.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Wow, that's it.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
So but despite all that, we have some of the
fastest job growth rates inside the entire country, one of
the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country. We're making
sure we're taking care of our fertile workers. We're making
sure we're uplifting our community. So listen, thank god we're
in Maryland.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
I use Maryland as an example all the time because
I remember I was at my daughter's Chilean tournament back
in like February, and the amount of people who were
walking up to me who were concerned that they were
either going to lose their jobs and they already had
lost their jobs because the dose was insane.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
So I can imagine what you get.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
And Seanman is crazy, because like, who are we talking about.
We're talking about people who do things like make sure
that our food is safe, right, make sure that our
critical infrastructure is make sure they're veterans like myself who
come back home and who need medication, that they're getting
their medication. That's who they're choosing to go after first,
and so looking at this assault that we have had
(39:11):
on our federal workers and again and now we're talking
about the only way that you're going to reopen a
government is by cutting people off health care, raising premiums
by ninety five percent. Health Care is already too expensive,
and now you're talking about raising premiums by ninety five
percent for folks, Like, this is crazy, what's going on?
And so Maryland, you know, in many ways, Maryland really
(39:32):
does take it and have to take it like these
are not indirect blows. These are direct shots at me,
in direct shots at us.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
We get it.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
But the thing that we're really focusing on is how
can we make sure we're protecting our people and really
diversifying our economy so we're not we don't have to
be as reliant on Washington, DC or who sits in
an oval office.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Break it down, like, how will you getting through it?
Because this governance in May is that are having a
hard time, but Maryland is making it through. So how
is Maryland making it through? How are you know, people
finding jobs? How are people paying rent and car notes
and putting food on their table? How are you guys
doing it?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Well, one is I think our folks realizes that we're
not been in the need of nobody anybody who's sitting
there saying well, if you just be quiet, they'll stop,
or if you don't, if you don't push back, they'll
I'm like, listen, I don't know a situation where it's
like listen, if you just be quiet, they'll stop beating you.
Like that's never happens. Never. And so the thing that
(40:27):
we're doing, we're just being We're being aggressive about what
it means to protect our people. So, for example, with
our federal workers, we've made sure that there are pipelines
for our federal workers to be able to get available
in essential state jobs or private sector jobs. We started
something called Feds to Eds where we knew that Maryland
as well as many other states, has a teacher shortage
right now. So I'm saying, if I got someone who's
(40:48):
working for the federal government who was interested and qualified,
get them certified, get them trained, get them in a
classroom as quickly as possible, so we can both address
the teacher shortage as well as making sure that they're
getting employed. That alone, we've now seen since I been
the governor, we have we have clothes that teacher shortage
we have by twenty five percent, and a lot of
that is because of these federal workers who are now
(41:09):
coming on board. We have federal workers who they are
forcing to go to work, which is this is crazy.
They are federal workers that are forcing to go to
work and not paying them. So we got folks in
Maryland who are working and not getting paid. We got
politicians in Washington who are paid and not working right,
and so we.
Speaker 5 (41:28):
Still got to pay taxes, and we still got paid
taxes on them while they're not doing anything right.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
And so for the for federal workers who are now
forced to go to work and they're taking public transportation,
they're paying for public translation despite not getting paycheck.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
So what did I do? I said, for all public
translation for federal workers, it's free.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
Wow, it's free. Just show your federal government pass and
you're good.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
So it's like, so we are making sure we're being aggressive.
We were said, we're as long as we can, We're
going to cover down on Medicaid snap Wick, despite the
fact that the federal government is now cutting it off
from our states. I'm saying that in the state of Maryland,
We're going to make sure that our people are protected
and our people are taken care of. So I tell
our folks man, while Washington is telling this country, you're
(42:11):
on your own. In Maryland, we tell our people we
leave no one behind.
Speaker 5 (42:15):
I wanted to ask you about the No King's protests
that were happening this weekend. In your view, what did
the level of turnout say about public sentiment toward executive
power in America today?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Why?
Speaker 4 (42:26):
I tell you one of the things I was really
taken by. It's not even just the numbers. It's the
where some of the biggest No Kings turnouts that we
had in our state were in rural parts of our state,
conservative parts of our state. And I think about it
this way, man, where it's like, you know, for example,
when we just announced our reelection two weeks ago, some
(42:50):
of the first people that came out and endorsed us
were actually Republican lawmakers, Republican lawmakers in western Maryland because
they were like, at a time, and these are places
that voted for Donald Trump by seventy five, seventy seven,
seventy eight percent, but they were like, but listen, in
our time of need, the governor showed up. We were
(43:12):
some of the first boots on ground when they had
historic flooding out in western Maryland. The President nowhere to
be found that we actually invested millions of dollars to
make sure that they can get furnaces, because I'm telling
you right now, we're talking about some of the coldest
parts of our state and people who do not have furnaces,
people will lose their lives this winter. We put in
millions of dollars from the state to make sure they're good.
(43:32):
The president support from Maryland is not warranted because.
Speaker 16 (43:35):
Of you exactly you exactly known, but it's like, but
but the point is, it's like, so when you're going
out there and you're seeing no kings protests, when you're
seeing them, like, listen, this is is this about?
Speaker 2 (43:51):
You know?
Speaker 4 (43:52):
Is this about rule of law? And it's about rule
of law? Is it about you came in and you
say you make things more affordable? And we said, how
energy prices risen by twenty percent since he's been the president.
That these terrors are making everything from the clothes that
we're wearing to the food. Were the food that were
eating more expensive? Yeah? But you know what, it's also
about you. Keep breaking your promises, man, everything you said
(44:12):
that you were going to do. They are now waking
up and realizing he never cared about you. Right.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
He promised economic change on day one for.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Him, and it happened. He's that great economic change he
has been. I tell you, the two greatest beneficiaries of
the Trump administration so far have been the Trump family
and China. Ooh, the Trump family and China have had
a great streak for the past ten months. Why China,
because it seemed like they've been they've had like issues
because when American leadership pulls back, who's helping to fill
(44:43):
up the vacuum?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Got you that?
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Oftentimes when you're talking about our foreign policy, this really
is a larger battle between the US and China. China
being one of the fastest growing economies over a period
of the past twenty years, China being a country that
has always pushed and reflected and said, we want to
make sure that we're having our proper respect.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
And the United.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
States, who in many ways is kind of like this upstart,
you know, they're like the startup in the globe. Now
we're about to celebrating two hundred and fifty years China's
like two hundred and fifty years. That's a blink of
an eye when it comes to Chinese history. But also
look at what has now happened as the US has
pulled away from things like foreign aid and support in
(45:26):
everywhere from Africa to South America. Who's helped to fill
in that China? Right? Who has helped to come in
when we're having conversations about about about new resources and
energy supports, right and come up with long term energy supplies.
When you have the Trump administration who's pulling away from
increasing energy supplies, which, by the way, is making energy
prices more expensive on everybody. I believe that we should
(45:48):
be investing in solar and wind and nuclear and all
the energy technologies that can help to make energy prices
more affordable because when you increase supply, you then can
be able to decrease costs. Donald Trump is simply saying like, nah,
we're not doing any of that stuff. You know that's
gonna do it continues to drive energy prices up. Do
(46:08):
you know who is investing in those new technologies? China?
So listen, the Trump family and China have done very
very well over the past ten months. The average American family,
not so much.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
And we had a bunch of candidates here, mayoral candidates
from New York and governors from Jersey, and everybody talks
about their relationship or wanting to work with Trump.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
Is that even an option with you? Listen, I'm very clear, man,
I will work with anyone. I will just bow down
to no one. I'm not built that way, Like I'm
always gonna fight for my fai.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Like the people of my.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
State, they understand like like I'm not. I don't come
from a political world. I don't come from a political family.
I don't come from a political background. I'm a soldier.
That's who I am, That's how I'm built. And so
if someone is trying to do something that's going to
benefit the people of my state, if someone's trying to
do something it's going to benefit my community and my people,
(47:02):
then I'm always interested in being able to find ways
of working together and so on and so forth. The
problem is, I have seen nothing from this administration that
shows as an interest in that. I have seen nothing
but shots at us. I've seen nothing but talk about
how you're going to send national guards into my communities.
I've seen nothing but them turning down federal aid and
federal supports that is justified and necessary for the people
(47:24):
of my state. I've seen nothing but them using them,
except using the Constitution like it's a suggestion box. So,
you know, if you want to have a real conversation
about being able to help the people of Maryland and
lift us up and continue the trajectory that we've been
on since my administration has come on board, I'm always
down to have that conversation.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
As a form of soldier talk about the negative things
about having sold just put into the community.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
There are so many problems with this, and it's it's
so deeply performative. And here's here's the thing that gets
me on a couple of fronts. If he wants to
have a real conversation about making our community safer, I'm
here for that. I've been very clear there is no
higher priority for me than making sure that our communities
are safe. I think about what's happened in Maryland and
Maryland for the eight years before I became the governor.
(48:11):
We saw the homicide rate nearly double, the non fatal
shooting rate did double Baltimore City the year before I
became the governor. In twenty twenty two, we had almost
a homicide a day. And so when we came on board,
I said, I Am not going to be a governor
that's going to sit there and give eulogies and give
thoughts and prayers and not do a damn thing about
actually making our community safer. So what do we do?
(48:32):
I started working with Mayor Scott. I started working with
local Sorry, Mayor Scott, Mayor Baltimore. I started working with
local law enforcement. I started working with count executives around
the state. I started actually, we made historic investments in
predictive analytics and technologies and community violence intervention groups, community
violence interruption groups, and the results have been this. In
the past two and a half years, we have seen
(48:53):
how Maryland has had amongst the fastest drops in violent
crime anywhere in the United States of America, amongst the
fastest shops and property anywhere in the United States of America.
The homicide rates in the state of Maryland's inside and
the governor are down nearly twenty five percent that we
have seen in Baltimore City. The last time a homicide
rate was this flow in Baltimore City, I wasn't born yet.
(49:13):
That's the kind of drops we've seen. And now despite
the head the presidents talk about how we have children
who are natural born killers, and he's now going to
send the National Guard in our community. I'm like, first
of all, your nineteen eighties Archie bunker mentality mindset is
not going to fly because it goes against all data
that's actually happening and the momentum we're actually seen. But
(49:36):
the other thing about it is this man is that like,
I know what it's like for these soldiers. I know
what it's like to put on the uniform. I know
what it's like to say good body to your family.
I deployed, I led soldiers overseas in Afghanistan. And so
for him to continue to have this fetish of military
uniforms like it's a child where he's going to ask
these men and women to do something that he was
(49:58):
never willing to do, say good body, your fan family,
and to go to deploy and to do operations and
missions that a they you know, municipal policing is not
something our National Guards are trained for. I'm the Commander
in chief of the Maryland National Guard. I know my
guys are trained for and that's not one of them.
And I also know that if you look at what's
happening in Washington, d C. And the deployments that they're having,
(50:18):
you know, I can tell you that these National guards
men and women, these citizens soldiers who are giving up
their lives because they trust their commander in chief, have
taken more selfies than they've made arrests. They painted more
fences and picked up more trash than they've actually done
drug busts. So what are we talking about right now?
What the president is doing and Headset and all these guys,
(50:41):
It is just it's performative. It's offensive. It's offensive to
our communities. It's offensive to these military personnel. It's offensive
to their families because you're now asking to leave their
families and.
Speaker 5 (50:51):
To do what and nobody ever asking what's the long
term solution? There's a long term solution, never for crime prevention. Okay,
you're doing this now, the long term plan.
Speaker 4 (51:00):
If he wants to have a serious conversation, I would
love for the President United States, and I'm not holding
my breath on this, to have a serious conversation about
policy because listen, I tell him, you know what I
would love to do. I know for myself, and the
mayor and our account executives. We'd love to talk to
you about banning block switches and the ability to turn
these blocks into automatic weapons. We'd love to have a
conversation about banning ghost guns. We'd love to have a
conversation with you about additional ATF and FBI resources and supports.
(51:24):
I love to have a conversation with you about lpr's
license plate readers so that can help to actually track
down cromp. I'd love to have a conversation with you
about stop stop cutting the funding that was coming to
our communities for community violence intervention groups that were actually
on the ground doing the work. But he's not interested
in that. But what he is interested in doing is
(51:44):
he'll cut funding for stuff that's actually working, but then
ask the American taxpayer to pay over a million dollars
a day so they can watch National Guard take selfies.
Speaker 5 (51:53):
Are you concerned, like when you saw the meeting that
you know, a Secretary of War Pete Hesef and President
Trump ad with the US military generals and admirals.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
Are you concerned that.
Speaker 5 (52:03):
Some of those generals and admirals may go along with
him and pledge loyalty to him and not the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (52:09):
I remember I'm gonna I'm on a bunch of different
like UH group chats things with a lot of military
folks who I served with and people were still in
and I remember getting one from a buddy of mine
and he said, listen, I've oftentimes disagreed with the commander
in chief, not often am I embarrassed by him? Wow?
(52:30):
Because I'm embarrassed. Wow, because there's just a lack of
seriousness that he and accept their are taking on this.
There is you know, and one thing I you know,
always say is that listen. As soldiers, we know our job,
we know our oath. We took an oath to the
Constitution and always protect and defend people against all enemies
(52:52):
of this country, foreign and domestic. And we took an
oath that we would always honor all lawful orders of
the present into the United States. The thing that is
is UH is really challenging for a lot of people
right now. Is this blurring of a line that we're
seeing from this White House about what orders are lawful
and what orders are not.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
Well, how do you look at the judicial system now?
Speaker 2 (53:14):
Right?
Speaker 3 (53:15):
You see Trump people get arrested and Trump's like that's
my guy. I'm a part of him, and everything he
has is wiped off. You know, Oh that's my guy.
You ain't got to pay no money back, it's wiped off.
It makes me look at it two ways. One nothing serious,
and two it makes me feel like sometimes when the
Democrats have a guy that went down for something that's
maybe not just that we just leave our people hanging,
(53:37):
or I should say they just leave their people hanging.
Speaker 4 (53:38):
Yeah you still Marilyn Molden.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
Yeah, So how does that make you feel when you
look at the judicial system and you look at, you know,
somebody that you helped try to get in office, well,
whether it was Buyden on his second term, and then
you see how they take care of their people.
Speaker 4 (53:51):
Yeah, you know. I remember when I first when I
first came in the I ended up winning with more
individual votes than anyone who'd ever run for governor in
the history of the state of Maryland, despite literally starting
at one percent. Like, I don't come from any political
background at all. Only one thing beat me on the
ballot that year, and now was cannabis. So I was like, yo,
(54:14):
who is cannabis? And but the same time that I
definitely absolutely but the same time that I was I
was elected governor of Maryland. Maryland voted to have a
recreational cannabis market. So I said, okay, so we're going
to make sure that it's rolled out in a safe,
(54:35):
in a smooth, and an equitable way. And at the
same time, there is no way that I'm going to
celebrate the benefits of legalization if we do not address
the consequences of criminalization. So we got to work and
I ended up signing the largest mass pardon in the
history of the United States of America when I pardoned
(54:56):
over one hundred and seventy five thousand misdemeanor cannabis convictions
and the stroke a pen and saying, like you know
you can, we cannot treat every sentence like a life sentence.
Where we got a new billion dollar market in the
state of Maryland, but I got people who can't get
a barber's license, right. That was how we can utilize
the power of the pardon in a way that actually
supports the people, in a way that actually helps to
(55:18):
right some of these wrongs that have been taking place before.
There's a very humble responsibility that I know I take
where I'm one of fifty one people on the planet
that have the ability to pardon, right all of our
state's governors and the president of the United States. Those
are the only ones that have the ability to look
at somebody and say, we are going to forgive you
(55:41):
of the past issue might.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
Have been involved with.
Speaker 4 (55:43):
We're going to make sure we can clean up your
record to make sure we can give you a second
chance at life. It's a very unique power. And I
think about Donald Trump man and the first thing that
he did when he got back into office his time
was part of the people on January sixth. There is
just so everything that I'm seeing right now. None of
it surprises me, because the man told you who he
(56:04):
was and who he was going to fight for. And
so I think that, you know, I'm thankful that we
have a legal system in some cases that is helping
to hold the line. I'm thankful that we have judges
that are actually honoring the law and not bending the knee.
Yet at the same time, you know this, this this
(56:26):
weaponization of our legal system that we continue to see,
and frankly, this you know, this very loose way that
he is using a very specific and powerful ability to pardon.
I think is more just a continuation of the case.
Speaker 5 (56:40):
Well, I got through more questions because I know you
got Okay, how are you handling the pressure you're facing
to redistrict Maryland?
Speaker 4 (56:47):
Well, I'm very clear. Listen, Maryland. If we have this
country and we have Donald Trump who is picking and
choosing which states should redistrict and people and people, remember
why we're even having this conversation, right, The reason the
reason why we're having this conversation is because what issue
is Donald Trump going to run on in admiterm elections?
Speaker 2 (57:08):
Right?
Speaker 3 (57:09):
I made all your prices higher.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (57:12):
I fired a bunch of people and driven up the
unemployment rate. We've made our communities less safe. But hey,
vote for me. You're not gonna win on that. So
what do you do? You change the rules? You rig
the game. Frankly, it's very It's a simple continuation of
what this man has done his entire life.
Speaker 2 (57:30):
Right.
Speaker 4 (57:31):
And so my point is this, if Donald Trump is
calling individual states and individual Republican states and saying, I
need you to find me a congress person here, I
need you to do this. I need you to find
me a fair map, then my point is this, if
all these states are going to have conversations about do
they have a fair map?
Speaker 3 (57:48):
So will Maryland?
Speaker 5 (57:49):
You have to you gotta fight fire with fire, and
former bite freend Kamala Harris said it last week. You
gotta fight fire with five.
Speaker 4 (57:54):
If these states are going to talk about do they
have a fair map, then you know what Maryland needs
to decide.
Speaker 3 (57:59):
Do we have a fair map too?
Speaker 4 (58:00):
That's right, do.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
We have a fair map?
Speaker 4 (58:01):
And I can tell you right now if you look
at our congressional districts and people talk about I don't
like Jeremny, I hate jeremanner.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
I think it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (58:08):
I think it's ridiculous right now that less than ten
percent of all congressional seats are actually competitive. The average
congress person ends up winning by like twenty thirty forty points.
So all you got to do is make it past
your primary and you're good. Right, So this entire system
is jerrymandered right now. And so if we are going
to talk about what does it mean to have fair
maps and what does it mean to have systems where
(58:29):
people can actually be heard and represented, and you have
people choosing the representatives and not represented choosing their people,
then you know what add Maryland.
Speaker 2 (58:37):
To that list.
Speaker 4 (58:38):
Who should have that conversation too. Absolutely, this is my
last question.
Speaker 5 (58:41):
You know, I want you to talk about this because
you know, I saw you get a little flack because
you veto a measure to create a commission to study
potential slavery reparations to the state of Maryland. But to me,
you had a valid reason if people actually heard your
home statement exactly.
Speaker 4 (58:55):
I mean, listen, what I said was, I'm a person
of action. I don't need more studies. I mean like,
we've done four studies over the past twenty years and
similar type of elements one seven four studies over the
past twenty years, by the way, one of which my
wife worked on. And so when we're now talking about
doing a two year study on something that I know
(59:20):
the answer to, I'm like, what are we studying? And
this was my point. I think about the work, and
again I'm not saying that that this issue was not
worth working on. In fact, frankly, I've been working very
closely with the members of our caucus and members of
the community around a whole series of these issues. It's
the reason that we just authorized four hundred million dollars
(59:40):
for a just community initiative, which made sure that we're
putting four hundred million dollars of additional capital into communities
that have been that have been the subject and have
been truly hurt by racist and discriminatory policies, things like redlining,
things like mass incarceration, things like you know, things like
mass highway constructions which were cutting off neighborhoods that we said,
(01:00:01):
we are going to identify all those communities and neighborhoods,
and we're starting off with just four hundred million dollars
that's going specifically to those neighborhoods to address the racist
policies of the past. It's the reason that we've done
things like historic investments in our HBCUs because they've been
historically neglected and pulled back on. Maryland has four remarkable HBCUs.
We're putting a storic investment back into them. It's the
(01:00:22):
reason we've done things like the mass pardons and giving
people a second chance of life, because who do people
think that that is going to benefit most. It's the
reason that we've done things like procurement reform and created
black millionaires inside of the state of Maryland. I am
unapologetic about the support for our black community, for the
support for black people who oftentimes have been the fabric
(01:00:45):
and the backbone for so much of our society. And
I know right now when we are watching this assault,
this assault on our communities, when we're watching you know,
the Trump administration now is fire and to find more
black women than we have seen in a generation that
we have now seen seen our insurance being pulled away.
Grant's going to entrepreneurs that everything that is connected to diversity, equity,
(01:01:09):
inclusion that they are making illegal. We don't need it
to your study right now, man, I need action. I
need action. And so that was the point that we're
trying to make is that in this time, in this
crisis moment, I don't need a study. Let's get to it.
Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
Let's get to it.
Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
Absolutely, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Absolutely, let's get on with it. We appreciate you for
joining us running for reelection in twenty twenty six, my cousin, Yeah,
Marland govern to west More.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Leaders on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (01:02:04):
So Diddy may be pardoned this week.
Speaker 18 (01:02:07):
This news comes from a high ranking White House official.
Speaker 19 (01:02:11):
It's an alleged report.
Speaker 18 (01:02:13):
I reached out and didn't get any response true or
not true on this, So I don't know, you know
where that leaves us. But according to a high ranking
White House official, they told TMC that Trump is considering
commuting Diddy's sentence as early as this week. Now, according
to this source, Trump is going back and forth on this,
and there are some White House staff that are saying,
don't do it.
Speaker 19 (01:02:33):
Leave it alone. He wasn't supporting you.
Speaker 18 (01:02:35):
But the source made it clear Trump is going to
do what he wants, so it can happen as early
as this week. Now, y'all remember when there was you know,
some of Diddy's attorneys that were doing interviews and saying
that they were having conversations with Trump, and then they
came back out and said they weren't having the conversations.
So this, this source is saying that even when all
that back and forth was happening, there were really conversations
(01:02:56):
going on. And the day after Diddy was sentenced themversation
started again. And that was the same week that Trump
remember that clip of him went Barbara when he said that,
did he just act for a pardon?
Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:03:06):
Or yeah?
Speaker 18 (01:03:07):
So you know, all that is happening, So you know,
did he had served you know, thirteen months at this
point he was sentenced to four years and two months.
But if this happens, none of that will matter. So
we will have to wait to see what happens.
Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
And you're gonna come home and be h.
Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
You know, you got to come home and be Trump's
holding Oh my guy, when they do that UFC fight
on the White House lawn, you will be the performance.
Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
You will be the live entertainment. You will be shaking ass.
Speaker 19 (01:03:29):
Yeah, yeah, he has to.
Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
But how was this information getting leaked right when George
Santos just got part and nobody knew until it was done.
I feel like they keep talking about it and it
allows people to shoot it down.
Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
And then it'll be yeah, it'll be a way to
stop it. What happened.
Speaker 5 (01:03:42):
I mean, to be honest with you, they probably might
have been talking about George Santo's getting the part. I
just that's not my algorithm.
Speaker 18 (01:03:49):
And to be honest with you, this is gonna be
a great pr thing for Trump. So how do things
get leaked? They get leaked when people want you to
know what might be happening, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 19 (01:03:57):
Now.
Speaker 18 (01:03:58):
At the same time as this news, like literally right
before this news broke, there was a notice file by
Diddy's attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, who is in charge of his appeal,
and they basically just put the cord on notice set
in four to six weeks they're going to be appealing
the sentence.
Speaker 19 (01:04:13):
So either way they're like okay.
Speaker 18 (01:04:15):
From what we hear from this source, it's like either
they're gonna do what they're doing with Trump and he
gonna come home, or they're gonna try and appeal it
to bring him home as well. And I did ask
my source if Diddy is going to be involved in
like figuring out what the angle of the appeal is
and all the things, because he was super involved during
the trial, and they said, of course he will be,
of course, But He's in really great hands because she's
one of the best attorneys at this in the game.
Speaker 5 (01:04:37):
So they need to do a reality show based on
Trump's pardon process.
Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
I just want to know. I just don't want to
know how he comes.
Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
To the conclusions that this individual needs part. I just
would love to see it.
Speaker 19 (01:04:48):
It's probably like a board that he spends.
Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
I just want to see it.
Speaker 19 (01:04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (01:04:54):
Well, in other news, uh, Janet Jackson did not make
Tupac taking AIDS tests before the kissing Singing poet sing
in Poetic Justice.
Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
What that was a huge rumor.
Speaker 19 (01:05:05):
Yes, it came back up again. So it came back.
Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
It was never cleared up. I really thought that's what
she did. That's what I think a lot of people did.
Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
Well.
Speaker 19 (01:05:14):
Actually it was cleared up.
Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
I was cleaned up a bunch of times. I remember
Supac talked about it, Janet talked about it.
Speaker 18 (01:05:20):
John Singleton talked about it. Go on Drink Champs some
years ago.
Speaker 6 (01:05:24):
This first time I ever heard about it.
Speaker 18 (01:05:26):
Well, okay, so let's take a listen to what John
Singleton said when he cleared it up years ago and
Drink Chaps, and then I'll get into what the why
it came up again.
Speaker 19 (01:05:32):
That's sick a listen.
Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Is that serious that whole age thing.
Speaker 22 (01:05:35):
No, that was not serious. That was a joke that
we was having on the set. The real talk Isepac
was attracted to Janet. I was attracted to Janet. We're
both trying to like flirt winter stuff. And I'm like,
you know what, I don't know if I should have
you kissing on my actress because you know, you've been
around doing all this. You Pop was just coming on
his own there, right, and I was like, man, yeah,
(01:05:57):
you know what, you're gonna have to do age test
for y'all do this left.
Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
And it was a joke.
Speaker 23 (01:06:01):
She said that, you know, it's we saw right before,
just like and they were like, oh, we should use this,
we should.
Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Put this out.
Speaker 16 (01:06:12):
So that's what we did as a publicity as a publicity.
Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Thing, We just did that.
Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
It was just everybody Jackson about that.
Speaker 22 (01:06:20):
It was just us talking on this on the set
and everything of this, And you know, it was an
outside joke.
Speaker 5 (01:06:24):
By the way, that was twenty seventeen. I guess we
live in the area where you got to repeat the
same thing over and over every ten.
Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Years just for people so much content.
Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
Yeah, I never heard that content, never heard.
Speaker 18 (01:06:33):
It right, but also to so there's a new book
that just came out. It's called Only God Can Judge
Me The Many Lives of Tupacsha cor And it talks
about this in the book. And uh, the author of
the books, you know, says that he's spoken to people
on the set who recalled that incident. And there's an
ebsert that was released to certain outlets which brought this
back up. So here we are re explaining or rehashing it,
(01:06:54):
but we have it right from John Singleton that it
did not happen that way.
Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (01:07:00):
So that is it for the latest this morning, guys.
Speaker 18 (01:07:04):
For a second hour, I have one more, actually we
can do congratulations to Taraji speaking of John Singleton, because
she just signed a two picture deal with Netflix.
Speaker 19 (01:07:12):
Did you guys see that in.
Speaker 18 (01:07:16):
Yeah, I just auditioned for one of them Rules team,
which one well probably can't tell.
Speaker 6 (01:07:20):
Me, but I just auditioned for one of the Rules.
Speaker 19 (01:07:23):
That would be a part of her deal.
Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
Also, they tell you about one of the movies that she's.
Speaker 19 (01:07:28):
Doing, so yeah, me too. That's fire.
Speaker 18 (01:07:32):
So they tell you like this, this is a part
of that, So you knew this news before it was
out right, now.
Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
To shoot that movie I did. What are we talking about?
For the lad Charlmon?
Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Give you Michael Jackson. Need to come to.
Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
Michael Jackson run in the congregate. Stop.
Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
We like to have a word with him, and I
don't want to hear nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
You just play earlier. Michael Jackson needs to come to.
Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
The front of her How can he come to the
front of the congo question jes spirit?
Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Okay, all right, get to that nexus to breakfast loco morning.
Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
With the it's time.
Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Don't give around here.
Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
Yes, you are a donkey?
Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
What the hell is.
Speaker 4 (01:08:33):
Some donkey to days? Just saw himself? Oh man, Charlo Man?
Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Who you giving donky to? Did to man?
Speaker 13 (01:08:45):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
Donkey today for Tuesday, October twenty first goes to a
Southeast Kansas man named Michael Jackson. Okay, and not the
one who sang Billy Jean. I need y'all to know that, Okay.
The Crawford County Sheriff's Office made that perfectly clear. They
literally said, verbatim, not the one who's saying Billy Jean.
Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
We are such an unserious people.
Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
Now, let me tell y'all something and I really want
y'all to remember this. If you don't listen to another
word that ever comes out of Uncle Sharler's mouth, just
please listen to this.
Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
Whenever someone tells you to not call the cops about something,
call the cops about that something. Okay, that's just a
pretty good rule of thumb to follow. See what had happened?
Was Michael Jackson stole a two thousand and three Chevrolet Silverado,
and deputies received a call that a man had pulled
into a residence and asked the homeowner for gas and
(01:09:35):
to not call the cops. See this man, Michael Jackson
stole the car, didn't have no gas in the car,
and then pulled into a random stranger's house asking for gas.
Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
Michael Jackson, you don't know how any of this works,
do you? Okay? You think you can just steal a truck,
pull up.
Speaker 5 (01:09:51):
To a random stranger's house for gas, and then moon
walk out of the situation like that's normal.
Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
Absolutely not. Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
Now let's discuss all right, when stealing a car, make
sure the car got gas in it. Okay, Why the
hell would you steal a car that may or may
not have enough gas in it.
Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Okay, what if you need to do a quick getaway?
Speaker 5 (01:10:09):
What if the cops are chasing you and you on
e Okay, Michael Jackson, you supposed to be a smooth criminal.
Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:10:16):
Not to mention, why would you stop at some random
stranger's house for gas?
Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
Where was Excellon? Where was wild?
Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Why?
Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Where was Spinx?
Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Where was Shelle?
Speaker 5 (01:10:25):
The Michael Jackson I know said don't stop till you
get enough. You had to stop because you needed gas.
Y'all are not the same, Okay. See I love people
who plan all the way to the end, all right.
That's Law twenty nine and the forty eight Laws of power.
Make detailed plans with a clear ending. Think far ahead,
take into account all possible developments, plan all the way
(01:10:46):
to the end, and don't be swayed by wishful thinking.
Then pursue your plans and don't be tempted from your path.
See this, Michael Jackson didn't do that. And when you
want to be starting something, you have to know how
that's starting end. Because the only thing this Michael Jackson
got started was a police report. Okay, I just don't
understand people. Sometimes man, folks commit crimes. So ridiculous that
(01:11:11):
I think they do it on purpose. Okay, times are
hard out here. Housing is not affordable. Forty two million
people are at risk of losing their food stamps right now. Okay,
there are some with no home, not a nickeled alone.
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
If you don't got nothing else going on in life,
maybe jail is a viable option.
Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
Some people don't have no family, some people don't care
about freedom like that. But I wish that I could
have told Michael Jackson you are not alone. Okay, you
don't have to do this, all right. There's a place
for you in this society. But I can't make you
believe that. All right, The change you seek starts with you. Yes,
the man in the mirror, Michael, I'm asking you to
(01:11:52):
change your petty, criminal ways. If you want to make
the world a better place, take a look at yourself
and then make a change. Please give this Southeast Kansas
man named Michael Jackson the biggest he.
Speaker 24 (01:12:05):
Heat m hm yo, no, he just.
Speaker 4 (01:12:17):
That's it, you get the biggest.
Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
I just want to let anybody know that if you
steal my car or my wife's car, get yourself a
little extra time to go to gas station like that.
We ain't never got no gas for some reason in
the carse.
Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
Yo, he gave me my e.
Speaker 5 (01:12:36):
That's what he's gonna say when they ask him what's
his agenda during the intake process.
Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
Yes, you okay? Are you okay? Nigga?
Speaker 6 (01:12:47):
That's so funny.
Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
All right, well, thank you, thank you for that donkey
of the day. So now when we come back, Jeremy
Renner will be joining us, you know, Mayor of Kingston.
Hawk Eye Season four of Mayor of Kingston will be
out Son Day this Sunday, October twenty six. So we're
gonna talk to Kingstown, Kingston or Kingstown.
Speaker 5 (01:13:06):
You made a white man imagine Mayor of Kingstown Kingstown
also known as Handful.
Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
From Hanslon Riding Rights. Alright, alright, we'll talk to him next.
It's the Breakfast Club. One morning, the Breakfast.
Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
Club, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
the building. I feel like I know him.
Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
I feel like you know him.
Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
I mean, I know a Hawk guy.
Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
You know what I'm saying. Well, you're watching him for
like the path twenty years at fels.
Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
Like Jeremy Right. Now, ladies and gentlemen, welcome, Hey, how
you doing breakfast club?
Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
Feeling good?
Speaker 14 (01:13:44):
Oil, very happy, very blessed to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Amy of Kingstown Season four is coming.
Speaker 14 (01:13:49):
That's right, man, that's been a wonderful job. Yeah, I
love it, man. It's it's pretty exciting we've got to
especially this far into the series. It's the best season
so far, because I think just because you know the
characters season one.
Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
Huh you said better than season one?
Speaker 14 (01:14:10):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, just because the audience will know
all the characters, so now we can take all this
instead of having a bunch of being seening d storylines
give everybody into the same narrative, so we're all kind
of we're watching a movie type of vibe. So bit
excited about that. It was just a lot of amazing
characters in the show too. It's pretty diverse.
Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
You You played everything from blue collar heroes the conflicted
anti heroes.
Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
What kind of roles challenge you to most at this stage?
Speaker 14 (01:14:35):
Yeah, I think like all those. I think, you know,
if you play a bad guy, it's got to be
something pretty conflicted. You might, you know, with the audience
kind of has a great understanding of why he's a
bad guy and a good guy. You know, you have
to have things go wrong for you otherwise, you know,
we don't have a story, right, So I just look
for always complicated characters. I think that's whether you ride
(01:14:57):
the line of I think I've kind of built a
career of like see a good guy or a bad guy?
You're not going you already both or just like every
human being on the planet, there's a lot of good
in a lot of us, and then that we can do.
We can do bad behavior, but can still be a
good person.
Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Right.
Speaker 14 (01:15:10):
These are all just very human sort of traits and behaviors.
So I'm kind of attracted to those.
Speaker 5 (01:15:15):
Is it hard to get out of that space when
you dive so deep into.
Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
Like those moral gray areas, especially like on the show
like King Thu.
Speaker 14 (01:15:23):
No, Yeah, there's there's such you know, like when I
put that suit on, there's a there's a certain there's
this an energy to think same if I suit up
for Hawkeye or whatever it might be. There's it's easy.
You want to shed the skin of the the actual skin.
You can really kind of emotionally in psychologically you know
shed that you kind of have to you have to
practice that.
Speaker 7 (01:15:44):
How do you see your character Mike on the show?
But do you see him as superhero, anti hero, something
in between?
Speaker 24 (01:15:50):
How do you?
Speaker 14 (01:15:51):
I don't know there's a hero is in there. I
think it's uh. I think there's a moral code to
him that's and ethics to him that I'm attracted to,
even though it might come with some gray area moral
gray area as well being you know, coming from incarceration,
and but I think there's something selfless about Mike McCluskey
(01:16:14):
that I'm attracted to. So that does make him more
heroic or more good I think, than than bad, even
though there are some moral you know, gray areas with him.
But I think the intention behind him is always forthright
and being selfless.
Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
When you look at how you played Mayo of Kingstown
in his show, and then you look at today's American
and some of the things that politics is doing.
Speaker 4 (01:16:39):
Now, how do you compare the same.
Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Well, I think mcclussey's kind of needed, you.
Speaker 14 (01:16:43):
Know, we need, we need I think someone that can
kind of grease the wheels on all all all sides
and all kind of smooth the edges of people. I
think there's a lot of device inness that kind of
goes on and a lot of things that can divide us.
And I think what's important is to unite us all
like in just like.
Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
In in mary Kingstown.
Speaker 14 (01:17:03):
In that world, the world of incarceration, you know, there's
there's people waiting for people to get out of the prison,
there's people waiting to get out of prison. There's some
people that work in the prison, and uh, in all
all different levels of incarceration. How how that world works.
I think there has to be some sort of Greece
to kind of uh, you know, unite people and in
(01:17:23):
all these different perspectives, like and it happens all the
time in real life with you know, just the prison.
Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
Guard life is a very brutal job or.
Speaker 14 (01:17:32):
Just being incarcerated, that's a very brutal sort of place
in space to be. I think that this had a
really cool documentary that came out that was shot in
the prison.
Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
Oh I heard about that.
Speaker 14 (01:17:41):
Yeah, such amazing. I just saw it. I don't know,
I can't remember what it was on. Was on Netflix
or something.
Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
But Alabama, Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, Birmingham Friday and everybody.
Speaker 14 (01:17:52):
Yeah, but it's sort of like kind of injustices that
go on, you know, and in incarceration and so anyways,
it's just it's I just think it's it's like, you know,
I think there's there is a kind of kind of
great need for that, like the morally great area guy
to come in and be able to listen to everybody.
I think that's what even with what sort of politicians
should do.
Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
They said we should do that more, I was gonna ask,
because in mayor of Kingstown, you deal with the bad
guys and the good guys, correct, but you are the
kind of keeping the peace with that side. And I
feel like sometimes with maya's and governors or even why
I can't even say president, but maya's and governors seems
like they stay away from the bad guys, like they
just messed with the good guys where they can't make
sure there is peace.
Speaker 14 (01:18:33):
Yeah, you know what, I think like money just sort
of pushes us around and and uh forces our hand.
And I think I think capitalism is sort of the
crushing of humanity for us right now.
Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
And uh, you know, I.
Speaker 14 (01:18:48):
Don't really lead that way. I kind of lead with
a more open heart but yeah, I think you know,
you know, you're supposed to serve the people. But to
serve the people, you have to listen to the people,
understand the people. But also the people have to speak out,
and we have to like you know, be uh be vocal,
and you know, everybody needs to be witnessed, right, Everybody
needs to be understood. And when we don't feel that way,
(01:19:11):
we get divided, right, And you know, I think we
need to find ways to to unite, man, because that's
that's what we are. That's well how you know, how
we how we survive, is how we succeed.
Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
It's how we.
Speaker 5 (01:19:25):
Flourish, you know, even if you can't fully understand a
person's you know, story, understand their existence as a human.
Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
I think the golden rule that we learned as kids everything.
Speaker 14 (01:19:37):
Exactly third grade playground rules.
Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
That's that's my.
Speaker 14 (01:19:40):
Sort of like religion, if you will. It's like all
that third grade playground stuff. It's like, treat people like
you want to be treated like all that stuff. And
it's like if we operate from that accord, you know,
if we got like tax breaks for doing those applying
those rules, like you know, we've been doing it more
often so I think it's important to you know, at
least that's it's how it's I think we can all
even agree that that's.
Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
We're for all out crazy tax base basically for.
Speaker 14 (01:20:03):
Being kind, Yeah, for being kind of walking someone across
the street tax but yeah, I forget. Then you got
everybody hugging each other and walking throwing each other's laws.
I love that, right, I mean that's just called community.
That's called humanity, right, And I think for an as
system that doesn't allow for that to happen.
Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
E Sadly, I wanted to I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
Go back a little bit a couple of years ago, right,
I remember you were all over the news in twenty
twenty three. A fourteen thousand pounds snow plow ran you over.
Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
You were saving your nephew.
Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
They say that, you know, they had to revive you,
and they said that you even upset that they revived
you because it was like it was so break that down.
What happened? Please tell us?
Speaker 14 (01:20:45):
Yeah, yeah, that was an incident that happened in my
driveway on New Year's Day. And uh yeah, it's a lot.
You know, I had to spend a lot of time
writing book about even so there's a lot of the
healing goes on in that. But yeah, it's like it's
like a you know, near death experience essentially, and it's
(01:21:06):
an incident that that transpired that I mean, I have
like zero regrets about it. I do it again for
the same instance what happened. Maybe I'd go about it
a little bit differently.
Speaker 4 (01:21:15):
But you saved your nephew. Yeah, my nephew.
Speaker 14 (01:21:18):
Yeah, he was at risk. He's gonna get ran over
by the machine. So I tried to jump back on
I got knocked off of this tank like machine and
try to jump back on it, and it has like
these tank tracks, and it's you can't. It's it's a
stupid thing, ultimately, really to do. But you know what
else you're gonna do. I'm not gonna sit there and
watch him get crushed. So I try to jump onto
the machine to stop it, and then I got crushed instead.
(01:21:41):
And but at any rate, you know, we know the
end of the story here and flourishing and happy, and
I learned so many great things and gifts that came
from from.
Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Dying and coming back.
Speaker 5 (01:21:52):
So you actually died, yeah, yeah, yeah, did you see
heaven or did you Yeah?
Speaker 14 (01:21:57):
Well, I don't know if we call it heaven, but
I guess, you know, version of it is. It's pretty
pretty amazing. What I was really strange though about it all.
It's like I have, you know, very specific sort of
feelings about it privately. And then there's this doctor I
talked to that and I talked with on this Oprah
on the Opra show that she has, and this guy
that all he does is is to deal with your
(01:22:18):
death experiences. And then he spoke about sort of the
general sort of ideas of things that people experience over
the forty years he's been studying it. And by the
time they got to me to ask me questions, I
had had nothing to say. The guy I almost said
word for word what I wrote in the book about
my personal experience, and it ends up being like really
common with everybody that has in near death experience. So
(01:22:39):
it's not that I didn't feel special or anything, as
I felt like it's actually felt more concrete resolved about
what does happen when you pass or when you almost
pass or I mean I certainly went away for a
minute or I don't know how much. Time doesn't matter,
but it's a pretty pretty interesting experience. And then to
know that I was and alone in it, that it
(01:23:01):
wasn't just sort of my you know, one time shot
at it. It was that it's there's something really concrete
about it, and it's beautiful and it's it's ultimately in
the short of it, I think just about love and
the only thing sort of you take with you because
like like hate write a very very powerful, powerful human emotion.
Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
It could run a country on it.
Speaker 14 (01:23:20):
I love sadly can't even though it's pretty powerful human emotion, right,
but it hate only exists on the on the tails
of love because hate burns out, burns hot and fast,
and then it dies. There can't hate forever, but you
can love forever, and it's a perpetuity. And that's the
only thing you kind of take with you. And it's
a it's a beautiful you know. It's how I kind
(01:23:40):
of continue on as I walk through the day and
breathe through the day and feel blessed and honored to
be here. But I only focus on shared experiences with
love and people I care about, and nothing else really
matters outside that.
Speaker 4 (01:23:55):
Did it make me appreciate God even more?
Speaker 14 (01:23:59):
I don't know if it's about it apreciating God more.
I think it's about it. I think I appreciate like
like love more, or or I really just wiped away
all the white noise of nonsense that I gave credence to.
There's so many things that you know, I gave value
to that doesn't have any value, and I continue down
that path, whether that's a path of God or not.
It's just like I just only do things that are
(01:24:21):
very purposeful and very intended. I don't do anything otherwise.
I don't do anything the kind of I don't anything
with my one toe. It's either all or not. Everything
I do is with great, great purpose and great clarity.
And there's a free it's very freeing right when we
allow ourselves to not get our own way, not to
just be just so focused and what we really want
(01:24:42):
and what we really want and like what really has value.
And then you know, I had to go to the
nth degree right to to learn that. I mean, it's
partially why I was kind of writing a book about it.
If anybody else could grab onto some of the blessings.
I got so many great gifts and blessings from being
tested to my limits and and squeezing all the crap
(01:25:03):
out of me.
Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
I suppose you know, the book is my next breath?
Speaker 5 (01:25:06):
Is it true that Marble reportedly cuts your salary in
half because of the snow plow incident?
Speaker 14 (01:25:12):
Not because of the snowplows, No, it's just because, you know,
if they want to do season two and they're just
off offered half the amount to do season two, I'm like, yeah,
of course I love to do it, but it's going
to take a lot of physical work to get back.
Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
And do it.
Speaker 14 (01:25:25):
So and also just the timing because it would take
a little bit more time for me to physically do
the role. And maybe I just wasn't ready last year.
It's like maybe it's it's it'll happen, you know, and
in a year or two to come, you know, but
because I was still in recovery and it will be
for for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
But I'm just getting stronger every day.
Speaker 5 (01:25:43):
You know, Are you in Secret Wars and all that? No, damn,
are you afraid? You know what the multi verse? Now
they can just bring another hawk off.
Speaker 4 (01:25:53):
Half. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 14 (01:25:55):
If they want to do that, they can go ahead
of all means you can do that. I got, I got.
I'm pretty busy myself.
Speaker 5 (01:26:02):
Script was the script because I always think about this
one line, right. It was an indiame and it was
when y'all was arguing about after Natalie the.
Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Tall you die Natalie, Oh yeah yeah, and you say
maybe you want to go talk to them. Okay, go
grab your hammer and you go fly and talk to him.
Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
I'm like, it just sounded off in the script.
Speaker 16 (01:26:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Why this fact I made that one up.
Speaker 5 (01:26:24):
You did, no way wrote that.
Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
They told you in that moment.
Speaker 14 (01:26:33):
The best line it can always win, and especially but
that's not a comedic one. Usually it's about comedy stuff. Well,
if we're throw in something that's very charactery, it's like
it's it's it's you can be loose with some things.
It depends on the you know, you never want to
mess with the obvious storylines and things like that, and
things have to always be truthful. So but that was
like a very heated sort of you know, kind of
kind of human Yeah. Yeah, a lot of us are.
(01:26:56):
And it's it's, you know, with the whole to chuck
some thing across the lake and they think everyone got
their own feelings. But yeah, and also like you know,
Hawkey's doesn't have any superpower. It's not like really like
a superhero. He is, but he's you know, very he's
like a he's like the dad of of the Marvel
universe in a lot of ways, you know. So that
line is just something very sort of kind of pragmatic.
(01:27:16):
If like, yeah, you can go fly around with your
superpower super fabio, you know whatever. Thing right, It's just
something you know, truthful as you you can be.
Speaker 4 (01:27:24):
You know, I want want to ask you something in
regards to Marvel.
Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
You know, you've had your you had some controversies, you know,
allegations your ex wife made about you. But why did
Marvels stick with you but was quick to discard somebody
like Jonathan Mags.
Speaker 14 (01:27:37):
I I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
if there's which the difference between you know, gossip and
then if it's between anything else. I don't know enough
about Jonathan Uh in this situation too uh to know.
I know they had big plans for that character, that's
(01:27:58):
for sure. So whatever transpired, Yeah, that's I mean, that sucks.
I think if due diligence, I think really has to
be played out. So I don't I don't know enough
information to know.
Speaker 3 (01:28:12):
Yeah, I mean it just doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
And how it happened, I mean I didn't you afituays
have nothing to do with each other.
Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
But overall, you know art of marvel.
Speaker 14 (01:28:21):
Yeah, yeah, well that I think. I think there's a bigger,
bigger kind of scope to that, to you know, like
you know, the idea of public opinion becoming part of
like a court process or something like that. It's like
we'll how about law and all that. You know, like
when there like you know, public opinion become more valuable
than the actual truth or real you know, anything on
any situation. Right, And we've had that for a while
(01:28:44):
ever since the with media and social media and all
that sort of stuff sort of connectivity, and you know,
I think it makes kind of dangerous, yes me, you know,
I think it's pretty dangerous, like all that, all the
cancer culture and all that sort of stuff. It's like, wow, man,
that just makes me want to run and hide from
like and why why put yourself out there and do
(01:29:05):
anything for anybody at all? You know, It's like it's
really kind of anybody can say anything, Yeah, yeah, then
they can and so silly.
Speaker 4 (01:29:12):
And don't get me wrong. I'm glad Marbled didn't.
Speaker 13 (01:29:14):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:29:14):
I'm glad Marble saw allegations for what they was and
stuck by you. I just wondered why they didn't extend
that same grace as somebody like Jonathan. You seen them
on video running away from a situation.
Speaker 14 (01:29:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I do not know.
Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
Well, we appreciate you for joining us. Season four, Mayor

in my life.

and ladies and gentlemen, make sure you check out. Season four,
Mayor of Kingstown premieres on the twenty six on Paramount Plus.
And it's The Breakfast Club. Good Morning, The Breakfast Club
stee j n V Jess Hilariyu and Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest
with Laura Lauren becoming a straight fast she gets them
(01:30:31):
somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 19 (01:30:33):
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
She'd be having the latest on this big law.
Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
The latest with Laura la Rosa.
Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details.
Speaker 4 (01:30:43):
Sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
Speaker 18 (01:30:49):
So you guys remember the Lebron fan who had sued
Lebron because he went on and brought the ticket steak
and Lebron was retiring.
Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Who was about to sue you?
Speaker 18 (01:30:57):
No, he had, he was, Yeah, but he was. He
was in court, not in court, but he had put
it in. So his name is Andrew Garcia and it
was a small claims court where that was filed. But
he has recently put in docks to dismiss the lawsuit.
Speaker 19 (01:31:12):
And I talked to him last night, so night, Yes,
I spoke to him last night.
Speaker 18 (01:31:16):
So the docs that he put in basically say that
there was a company, a sports betting company that reached
out to him and said, you know what, we saw
your story well, and he alleges they offered him two
tickets to any Lakers game in some merchandise. So he's like,
you know what, I can't resell the tickets that I
have right now. At least I'll get to go to
a Lakers game. So he says he took the offer,
(01:31:37):
and he has put in the documents that he needs
to put into dismiss the lawsuit.
Speaker 19 (01:31:40):
Now.
Speaker 18 (01:31:41):
He says that the company that reached out is Prize Picks.
I have reached out to that Prize Picks that have
not heard back from them. And what he says is
that he's going to be attending the game against the
Spurs on November fifth. They gave him an option of
a couple of different games, but that's the one that
he chose. And he says that you know the in
the first place, it wasn't about money or trying to
get a ton of money. He just wanted his money
(01:32:02):
back because he says things are expensive right now, but
the way that the Kondom has up right now, things
are expensive. He says that he's been a lifelong.
Speaker 4 (01:32:11):
You had a little CASELL looked at me like I
was crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Those case they with him.
Speaker 19 (01:32:15):
It was, but that wasn't Lebron that, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 18 (01:32:18):
But I think I think that they reached out and
did it because they knew people would talk about it.
Speaker 19 (01:32:21):
So it's a good little club for them. But also
it's just a nice thing to do.
Speaker 5 (01:32:24):
And I didn't say he would you win? I just
thought that, you know, I've heard more ridiculous things brought
the court. Of course, of course that was. That wasn't
ridiculous to me.
Speaker 18 (01:32:32):
Yeah, well he'll be attending that game, and you know,
they're having a good time, and it's two tickets, so
he'll be able to take somebody with him.
Speaker 19 (01:32:40):
And he said, no, why would he ask me?
Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
You're on the phone with him, you know.
Speaker 19 (01:32:46):
No, he didn't ask me.
Speaker 7 (01:32:49):
Didn't making songs talk about you? It's stupid though it
is not. It's not dumb, don't.
Speaker 20 (01:32:58):
Well.
Speaker 19 (01:32:58):
I like the part I heard the what's his name?
Speaker 20 (01:33:03):
Uh uh?
Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
Talk about I didn't.
Speaker 6 (01:33:07):
I didn't say I'm Lauren like Rosa. Yeah, well, we
don't even have it, he said.
Speaker 18 (01:33:13):
He basically saying he's, you know, trying to be the
voice of the culture through his music, so shout upside him.
Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
Don't have his name don't even have the song. But
I was gonna say, so he got two games because
he still has the tickets to the games that he
over over paid for though.
Speaker 18 (01:33:25):
Yeah, he still has those tickets, so he can go
to that if he wants to. But then he was
offered these as well. Yeah, well you know what it means.
Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
So it could be him, your two boyfriends and you.
That's crazy.
Speaker 18 (01:33:40):
No, I don't have to do that because I don't
have to. It's just a way to get out of things.
Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
I know, that's right.
Speaker 20 (01:33:45):
Ye.
Speaker 18 (01:33:46):
Now, in other news, speaking of Lebron, Stephen a Is
has some more choice words Lebron.
Speaker 4 (01:33:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (01:33:53):
Now okay, Now let me let me preface this with saying,
because people are coming at Steven a like he's just
on this oh I hate Lebron tour, people were asking
him questions and he's answering them. But also, prior to
this statement, you guys are about to hear him make
he talks about the fact that in his job he's
not a publicist for these celebrities. He reports on them,
and celebrities get upset, but he does his due diligence
(01:34:13):
to make sure that he don't.
Speaker 19 (01:34:14):
But he can't help it when they do.
Speaker 18 (01:34:16):
And that's what happened with Lebron, I said a listen
to Steven eight on seven PM in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
You get too Lebron. I don't like his not a
little bit. This dates back more than a decade. I
believe he's one way publicly, he's another way privately. The
things he says and the things he has said to people,
it's gotten back to me. If it were up to him,
I wouldn't be where I am today.
Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
The day that he rolled up.
Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
On me court side, it was the day my contract
was announced that I had stayed with ESPN. Go back
and look at the camera angles.
Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
How is it?
Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
We got one angle and the only angle you see
was of him in his face, but you see the
back of my peanut head.
Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Do you think you felt set up in that moment?
Speaker 1 (01:34:53):
They're right there right I did, because I go on
the air the next day and I'm like, that's a
dad reactor to his son.
Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
Happens on the th Thursday. That's a Friday, that's Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Richard Jefferson is doing the game in Boston still Mike,
he's working for ESPN, and we see Lebron say to him, yo,
man when he said as a fauther, I had it.
So I'm thinking, oh, that's not about Brony, that's about you.
Speaker 5 (01:35:19):
Hey, salute to Stephen A Smith for the wise man
from Queens with a peanut. Heead once said, we don't care. Okay,
somebody needs to send stephen a his own gift. I
am tired of hearing that story. I've heard that story
a million times on a million different podcasts.
Speaker 3 (01:35:33):
We don't care, but I guess he does all these
indus and they ask me. I'm a seven am in
Brooklyn listener.
Speaker 5 (01:35:41):
I haven't listened to this seven pm in Brooklyn listener,
but I haven't listened to that one yet.
Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
Sounds like he volunteered that one. Let's get to Lebron.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:35:49):
My point is, I.
Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
Don't care, Like we've heard this story, Like, how many
times have we heard the story this year?
Speaker 18 (01:35:55):
From today, just this week I've listened to I asked
you before we did it. I was like, are y'all
stephen A. Lebron exhausted?
Speaker 19 (01:36:01):
And you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (01:36:02):
Because I thought y'all would be because we've heard it
a lot. But I mean he also talked about you
know him and Carmelo had like a little hiccup at
one point, and he talked about that because he said
he reported a story. Didn't wait to hear back from Carmelo,
and Mellow called him and was like, why would you do? Like,
you know, he's he's talking about a bunch of things
in the interview on the Pivot episode.
Speaker 5 (01:36:19):
Yeah, but I just don't want to keep hearing the
same story over and I've heard the story about the
encounter between him and Lebron over and over and over
and over again. I don't know what the point what
am I supposed to do with this information? At this point,
I'm just saying, I just want to know.
Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
I just want to know. I just want to know.
Speaker 19 (01:36:36):
The first time you heard it, what are you supposed
to do with the information?
Speaker 5 (01:36:39):
The first time it was something you new, it was respect,
it was cool the first time.
Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
But then you hear over and over on every part, it's.
Speaker 7 (01:36:46):
Like, hey, okay, but all right, Well then that means
people need to start asking him about the same situation then,
I mean, because they see still got the same answer.
Speaker 5 (01:36:54):
Don't Yeah, I don't even know if he's being asked.
I don't know the context.
Speaker 3 (01:36:57):

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Now an NFL Monday Night football, Let's Seahawks beat the

Speaker 4 (04:14):
What's up to me?
Speaker 9 (04:15):
Good morning, Envy, char Lamagne j that's how y'all doing?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Good?
Speaker 9 (04:18):
Are good morning.
Speaker 10 (04:21):
All right, Well, we start this morning with important news
for families nationwide. The government shut down now in day
twenty one, and the impact is starting to hit home
very closely. So in Pennsylvania, food assistants payments are frozen,
and millions more across the country could be next a
state officials say snap recipients there will not receive benefits
(04:41):
scheduled for November as a Department of Human Services waits
for the federal funds to be released. Now recipients they
will be notified once payments do resume, but for now,
families are being urged to call two one one or
visit Feeding Pennsylvania and PA navigate for immediate help. That
the state is also finding residents to keep up with
your renewal reports or any changes in income or household
(05:05):
size while payments are paused. In Pennsylvania, Governor Joshapiro says
this shut down is no longer just about a political standoff.
It's now having real consequences for everyday Americans. Let's listen
to that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
There's a lot of challenges there.
Speaker 11 (05:19):
I hope our colleagues in Washington will come together and
get this passed. And of course this is on the
heels of the Congress of the United States voting to
knock five hundred and ten thousand Pennsylvanians off of Medicaid
one hundred and forty thousand off of SNAP in order
to give a tax cut for people who.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Don't need it.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
These are people who just need a little bit of
extra help be able to put food on the table
for them and their families.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
That's just cruel and unusual punishment.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
The holidays are right around the corner, and now folks
aren't going to be able to eat. And you know,
for all the individuals out there who like to say, well,
why don't they just get a job, so many these
people have jobs, you idiot. Okay, but the cost of
living is so high that some people can't avoid that.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You know, keep a roof over their head and put
food on the table.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
So that's why it's snapping, you know, the EBT and
those benefits, work wake and.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
All of that other stuff.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Absolutely, and Pennsylvania is just the first state to officially
halt November payments. It's likely, though it will not be
the last. Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, New York, and
West Virginia They have all warned that their programs could
run out of money by October twenty seventh, which is
less than a week away if this shutdown continues. And
(06:29):
as you just mentioned, you know SNAP, formerly known as
Food Stamp Charlemagne, it helps about forty two million Americans,
that's roughly one in eight people put food on the table.
The US Department of Agriculture says it can tap into
limited reserve funds, but.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
That won't cover everyone for long. And so meanwhile, the.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
Lawmakers, they are still at a shutdown, They're still at
a standstill. The Senate once again it failed yesterday to
reopen the government, marking the eleventh time that they have
failed to break that stalemate.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So when the people shall have nothing more to eat,
they will eat the rich. And don't think that rich
means people with just excessive amounts of money. It means
people who just have a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Than you do.
Speaker 10 (07:12):
Absolutely, and if you're one of the millions of people
waiting on student loan forgiveness, this could finally be the
break that you've been hoping for. The Trump administration is
quietly restarting debt relief programs that have been frozen for months.
A new agreement between the Department of Education and the
American Federation of Teachers will allow the government to resume
(07:33):
processing loan forgiveness for borrowers and two income based repayment plans,
the Income Contingent Repayment Plan or ICR, and the payment
the pay as you earn Plan. Now, both plans they
let borrowers make smaller payments tied to their income, and
any balance left over in about twenty or twenty five
years can.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
Be wiped away.
Speaker 10 (07:52):
Earlier this year, the Trump administration they pause forgiveness for
those plans, saying they needed to review court filings, and
that move, of course, left millions of borrowers and limbo
not sure if win or if they'll ever be able
to pay off those remaining balances, or if those balances
will be canceled. Now, under this new deal, those forgiveness
programs will start up again, though well they'll be canceled now,
(08:14):
but they will start up again, both the ICR.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
And pay as you pay as you earn plan.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
They are set to end in twenty twenty eight under
President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, so they are back on
for now, but they will expire again in a couple
of years because of the big beautiful bill. So they're
warning everyone to go ahead and get your paperwork together,
so just in case, you need to pay as much
as you can right now before it's set to end
(08:39):
again in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 9 (08:40):
So we'll continue to watch that as well.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
All right, thank you me, all.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Right, well, come home, coming up at seven.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
A new wave of scams is costing Americans millions, and
even Congress can't stop it. Will tell you what it
is and how it's probably already affecting you.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest eight
hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
need to vent, phone lines of wide open again eight
hundred and five eight five one five one. Call us
up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Make up, Wake up, y'all. Ask if you're trying to
get it off.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Your chest, your man or blessed, we want to hear
from you on the breakfast BLUs.
Speaker 12 (09:19):
Hello, who's this faster from Jersey?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Hey, Tasha from Jersey. Get it off your chest, mama. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (09:25):
So, first of all, I just want to say I
am very blessed to work in the industry. That I
worked in. However, that snap benefits thing is actually going
to asset Jersey residents too. We just got the noticification
yesterday that they're gonna lose benefits as of November first.
And I am a case manager that works with survivors
(09:46):
of domestic violence, So most of the people I work with,
you don't even have job skills, Like some of these
guys really you know, marry them and kind of like
kept them in a little bubble and they don't have
any job skills to be able to go out there
and get job skills. And I'm helping them get there,
(10:08):
but they're not there yet. So it's just a bad time.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
But you know, crazy even for the people who have jobs,
like you know, like I said earlier, they're making enough
money to probably pay their rent, but they may not
have the money for food.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
And that's what it's not benefits and stuff come in.
Speaker 12 (10:27):
Yes, And I am I will say wholeheartedly I see
that because I see the teaments that you know, they
have to make for rents, and I see how much
money they're making, and I'm like, Yo, how are you
doing it? But I will say, shout out to my job.
I can't say the name of the company. I wish
I could, but I can't. I don't want people to know,
(10:48):
you know this this company, because these are survivors of
domestic violence, and some of these people are hiding from
very scary people. But my job does a very good
job at rais and money and you know, like putting
reserves away, and I managed some of the budget for
our ladies. So even if they lose their snap benefits,
(11:10):
I think I got enough gift card to hold me
over until January.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
So okay, well, thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, that's a good idea, you know. That's what I
was telling folks too. Man, find a food bank in
your area. Man, find a food pantry in your area. Area,
and you know, donate some money to them if you
got it, or donate some food to them if you
got it. You know, I work with the Food Bank
NYC dot org and Harlem. I'm an ambassador for them,
and I work with the Hope Center in Charleston, South Carolina.
(11:36):
So just find a food bank in your area, man,
and and donate some money some resources to them, because boy,
it's gonna be a cold one.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Hello.

and people not getting paid and whatnot. It's about to
get rough. Rugget the rod out here, man. Trust me
when I tell you, y'all remember that old analogy that

It hasn't even been a year.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Hasn't even been a year, man, Thank you. Brother.
Speaker 5 (12:33):

Speaker 15 (13:16):
Early voting for the mayoral New York City mayoral racers
starts on Saturday. But we still don't got no good candidates, bro,
I mean between Fomo and MN Donnie after coming to
Eric Adams just kind of still looking like he's a
man because there are no good candidates here.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Don't forget Curtis Well, he's out there too.
Speaker 15 (13:37):
And Curtis was there, but let's be real, courtsee was
not making any ways in New York City.
Speaker 13 (13:42):
He's a Republican.
Speaker 15 (13:42):
He's not gonna get any votes.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Right, But between mcnie, I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
People people be liking he's.
Speaker 15 (13:49):
Gonna get votes, but his votes are not gonna be
some castials for him to.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Win the race.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Single digits.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I still I think I believe the episode was think.
Speaker 15 (13:59):
About it don't you hate lesser of to Eegle's politics,
because like, honestly mcdonne has no experience. Right, as much
as he wants to say that he's gonna do things,
he can't do them because he needs cooperation from the
other side to work anything out. So you can say
you're gonna do stuff, but you can't do it without
the other side.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
And then quoo.
Speaker 15 (14:18):
I mean, we already see what Koma did a government,
right He's gonna put the city up even more, you know,
it was like New York is in a conundrum right now.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
We speak to a lot of the older, older people
and the older individuals. They don't like Madonna because they
feel like he doesn't have experience. They said, he's never
done it before. What experience does he have of being mayor?
So that that's the major problem with a lot of
the older people when it comes to him.
Speaker 15 (14:37):
And a lot of the things that he says are radical.
So if that gets extreme, but you need cooperation to
do that. Politicians is people working together. So I mean,
I don't know what's gonna happen for the city for
the next couple of years.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
So you're not are you voting? Are you gonna vote
voting for it.
Speaker 15 (14:51):
I'm gonna vote, of course, I'm gonna vote. But like
I'm still up up in the air, who's gonna vote for?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
That's why.
Speaker 15 (14:57):
That's why I'm trying to get off my chest because
I don't know. I'm confused at this point.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Got you, got you. That's a personal decision you got
to make.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
They were also saying that Madonna, he says things and
then tries to backtrack a lot of it. He keeps
apologizing for the things he said earlier that that that
was when I was speaking to like the older community
that was like seventy and seventy up. That's what they
were saying about him.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 3 (15:16):

Speaker 4 (19:00):
L cool Ba Big String being asparagus showed it.
Speaker 18 (19:03):
What's a Yeah, listen, shout out to Harlem's fashion role
and this is a black designer.
Speaker 19 (19:09):
Her name is Andrea and I will.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Have that's one thing you always did Black designers, designer,
especially black women designers, but all across the board.
Speaker 18 (19:17):
Yeah, Harlan Fashion Road, they've been hooking up. We're doing
something withoot Locker.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
We gotta collab.
Speaker 18 (19:21):
This is a part of it. But y'all will be
saying that on my social so make sure you guys
are following. No, but I'm doing a collab with foot Locker.
I'm going to collabor with foot Locker and it's centering
around black designers. So she is one of the designers
that I'm wearing in the collab that will actually be
dropping on on socials today.
Speaker 19 (19:41):
All right, So let's get to this right.
Speaker 18 (19:43):
So Nicki Minaj is on X right now and she
is sounding off following our interview with Gucci Mani Kisha
ki Or his wife, and she says, Gucci wife has
been trying to be me for years, been dying for
the spotlight for years. She's there to keep Gucci sedated.
Gucci hates the Who's black and Flacka's mom. They don't
want deb around me. She's around me now. Charlottagne de Fraud,
(20:05):
jay Z's friend and business associate, using iHeartRadio for these
disgusting ploys against innocent families. He was around Wendy before
her life went to hell. The buck stops here, baby,
bookmark this tweet. Y'all really don't do not understand who
I really am. Bring it, let's play, y'all wanted attention,
Let's do it. Then she starts talking to the LAPD
about something we have nothing to do with, and she's
(20:26):
sending to Republic Records that they need to stand up
for her any day now.
Speaker 19 (20:30):
Then she says, you'll regret it now. I've been going
down a red.
Speaker 18 (20:36):
So what I believe happened is when we talked to
Keisha ki Or about what she does to help protect
the brand of you know, Gucci and her as well
when he's going through his episodes. And I believe that
Nicki Minaj is responding to that because it's one or
two things. It's either that, because she talked about keeping
(20:56):
him off of social media and deleting apps, and we
have that clip in a second, but fans were having
a conversation about whether or not Nicki Mi and I
his husband should be doing that for her. Let's take
a listen to what Kisha ki Or said about the
apps and deleting and when she was here, it.
Speaker 20 (21:10):
Was really really bad. It's really sad because you're seeing
someone you don't know. They're saying things to you that
are disrespectful, so mean, and you have to just like,
but I'm not talking to Gucci. Who is this person?
Speaker 14 (21:22):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
So?
Speaker 18 (21:23):
I felt like, was it like just trying to protect
the business that you guys have built?
Speaker 19 (21:27):
Wow, I have a personally. I take his apps off
his phone. First thing I do.
Speaker 20 (21:31):
I delete Instagram, I delete everything. Even if I got
to change his password, I'm changing it because I don't
need the public to know he's having an episode. You
realize you'd never know about any other episodes since September thirteen,
because I control that because you're not going on Instagram,
you're not going on Twitter. It's deleted and now before
the episodes come, I catch it. So that's why he
(21:52):
hasn't had another one. And how you catch that is
he doesn't speak to you, he wants to be left alone,
he don't eat, he does not sleep, text messages, there's
a period after each word, and I'm like, you're going
through an episode.
Speaker 19 (22:03):
You're sick. No, I'm not, ain't not wrong with me?
Speaker 20 (22:06):
Why do you think that you're not speaking to me?
Speaker 19 (22:08):
Well, there's nothing to talk about. I said, well, that's
not how you speak to your wife.
Speaker 20 (22:11):
And I'm like, you're sick and we snap out of
it right then.
Speaker 19 (22:15):
Yeah, So I got to do a system because there's a.
Speaker 18 (22:18):
Lot of fans online having a conversation right now following
her interview if whether or not Kenneth, who's Nicki Minaj's husband,
should be doing the same for Nicki Minaj because she's
online and there's a lot of things that she's saying
and she shot you.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Know me, why did she come at Keisha? I don't understand, Like,
what does that? What did anything Keisha have to say
had to.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Do with her.
Speaker 18 (22:39):
I'm not just listening at this point. I'm piecing together
puzzle a puzzle.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Nikki is reading what the thing?
Speaker 19 (22:45):
Yeah, because yes, that's what I think.
Speaker 18 (22:48):
Now there's a My second theory here is when we
ask this question about artists that came from Gucci's camp
not showing him love.
Speaker 19 (22:55):
Let's say a listen.
Speaker 21 (22:57):
I was super embarrassed and hurt by the things I
said because because like I wasn't well then, right, So
then I got locked up. So a lot of those
people who I was saying stuff too, they were like,
I ain't they never gonna mess with me no more.
So even when I got out three years later, I
still was like, I apologized the Ross Drake Nikki like
all them people accept my apologies.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I just don't know.
Speaker 21 (23:14):
It's like a weight off my shoulders because I had
been like because I was wrong, like Ross hadn't did
nothing but help me.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
And I said someone like what you get to just
do is an iconic figure and hip hop and all
the artists he put on.
Speaker 20 (23:24):
No, but would you like to see I would like them,
all of them to acknowledge him, even if they win
an Award. Acknowledge him because he gave you the stomping ground.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Most people don't know Nicki Mina came out of that camp,
French Montana came. People know half those people we know,
but most people don't know that bosgos stuff like most.
Speaker 19 (23:44):
People because they don't say it.
Speaker 18 (23:46):
Yeah, I'm still so confused, Listen, I'm just piecing together
what I think.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
That was the only time my name was it even
are the only two times?
Speaker 18 (23:53):
Well, so that was the one time he was There
were two times her name was mentioned an interview. The
other time he talked about you apologizing to her, and
then you know, yeah, we talked about her coming out
of the you know, Gucci camp. I really don't understand
where all of this came from. That's just what I
tried to put together.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah, because she can't be upset that we had Gucci
and Keisha on here to have a much needed conversation
about Gucci dealing with his mental illness. Right like Gucci,
a man who has been clinically diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia,
a man who is on medication. Him and Keisha are
up here telling this story that will help millions of
people like Nikki couldn't possibly be mad about that.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Right, But I do agree with whatever you saw in
the comments of Kenneth need to be doing the same thing.
He should be doing the same thing for his wife
that Kisha Kor did for her husband. Absolutely, everybody, I mean,
everybody should have a person who is going to help
them when they hitting rock pile more. You know what
(24:49):
I'm saying, should or who's going through, you know, having
mental episode.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I will.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Gonna call you just with the test whatever.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Who gives a high goddamn and I'm gonna be here
to drag him again. But that's today. That's what I'm saying.
Everybody needs supporting that way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, But they always say when people let their lowest
and they're actually trying to help people, people will try
to attack that. And that's what Gucci did with this book.
He's actually really trying to help people that's going through
it and having problems with it. And because of that,
sometimes he's gonna get attacked on.
Speaker 18 (25:18):
I know people who are really big barbs, like they
follow her every move and I woke up this morning
like and they were texting me like, what did y'all do?
Speaker 19 (25:26):
What happened. They were confused as well as the Barbs
was texting you.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
I have a couple of fact Well, I have a
couple of friends who were my friends before I knew
that they were the Barbs, you know, but now I
know in recent enlighten events they steed for her.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
You know, the surety of her replying to that interview though,
I would actually like Nikki to watch that interview, or
someone around Nikki to watch that interview and maybe just
maybe get Nikki to help she needs. I'm sending Nicki
Minaj healing energy. I'm praying for her. I truly hope
she heals because that's just hurting.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Yeah, But the first, the first stuff of it is
realizing you got a problem. If she don't feel like
nothing wrong with her, then what you know what I mean,
because she probably feel like ain't nothing wrong with her.
Speaker 19 (26:07):
Yeah, when you don't, when.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
You're not aware, when you feel like ain't nothing wrong
with you, it's hard for somebody to even help you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
And that's the beauty of Gucci Man's book.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
When you read Gucci Man's book and you see that
a lot of the erratic things he used to do,
the crazy tweets, that came out of nowhere. Those were
all him having manic episods.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Wells also and also what Gucci said was getting people
around him that were there to help him. Yeah, he
said there were a lot of people there that were
making his situation worse and almost encouraging it, you know
what I mean. So to get those people away from
him was probably one of the first steps that he did.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Yep. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (26:39):
Well, kishk Or posted in a more positive light yesterday
and just said that there were so many people who
were flooding her dms that you know, either were being
a caretaker or a loved one of someone going through
those things or going through with themselves. And she says that,
you know, she felt the impact from the breakfast club
and if you so many people reached out, and she
actually posted a link on all Things Kisha ki Or
dot com and she says that you can click on
(26:59):
this session discussings with help for yourself or loved ones.
So she's trying to help people as well now to
in addition, so we and Gucci on everything.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You know. That's also I love being the boogeyman. I
really do. I have no problem.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Being because what did you do he always does.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I just show up.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
That's enough, and I promise you if you think I'm
the Illuminati, now oh.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Just wait, you just wait.
Speaker 19 (27:26):

four to nine.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
What's something to me.
Speaker 10 (29:39):
Good morning, MV Jeff h Alta Magne. How y'all doing, girl,
Good morning? All right, we'll we start this hour in Atlanta,
where authorities say a potential tragedy was stopped before it began.
A police arrested a man accused of threatening to open
fire inside the world's busiest airport. Now Police a forty
nine year old Billy Cagele of Cartersville, Georgia, was taken
(29:59):
into custody yesterday at the Atlanta Airport. Investigators say Cagel
had posted on social media that he was heading to
the airport to quote shoot it up. His family saw
the post and immediately called the police.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
They then alerted Atlanta officers.
Speaker 10 (30:14):
When officers spotted him inside the South terminal, they say
he appeared to be scoping out the t S, a
check in area that police bodycam video captured what happened
next the moment officers moved in, Let's listen to some
of that.
Speaker 12 (30:29):
How are you, what are.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Your what are your reasons at the airport right now?
Speaker 17 (30:35):
Airport?
Speaker 9 (30:39):
What kind of cars?
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Kind of cards were drop?
Speaker 12 (30:44):
Bull?
Speaker 19 (30:45):
Okay, we're just looking.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
We just have a situation called along.
Speaker 11 (30:48):
Oh all right, we have hands, put your hands.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Behind your back.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
They should have locked him a blow Sooner than that.
His family calls that he was going to shoot up
the airport. He at the airport, there's a truck outside.
Put him in cops first, But I'm glad they stopped
it though.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
And thank you. I thank god that.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You know, some people are stupid enough to forecast their
crimes on social media.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Don thank you.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
And then investigators they went out to that truck and
be and they found inside an AR fifteen rifle with
twenty seven rounds of ammunition.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
They believe that he was.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
Heading back into the airport to retrieve that gun the
moment he was stopped at the FBI Homeland Security.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
They are now assisting in the investigation.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
Atlanta's mayor he called it a crisis averted, and he
thanked officers and Keegele's family for turning him in.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Cagel.
Speaker 10 (31:41):
He is a convicted felon with a history of mental
health challenges. He's now facing terroristic threats and attempted aggravated
assault charges, among many other things.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
He has a history of mental health and he obviously
never got any help, no for it.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
And let's see what comes of it now.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
Yeah, well, if your favorite app wasn't working properly yesterday,
it's probably because of that massive outage at Amazon Web Services.
Dozens of popular apps and websites, from Snapchat to Spotify
to Amazon DoorDash, Netflix, they all went down. Yep, Starbucks,
a host of websites went down yesterday. The cloud computing
(32:20):
system that quietly powers a huge chunk of the Internet,
running everything from your favorite shopping apps to airline systems
to financial platforms, they all went down.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
That's according to down Detector.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
They said the problem started about three am yesterday Eastern Time,
with reports flooding in from users who couldn't log on,
make purchases, or even stream their favorite shows. Now, the
outage it caused ripple effects among different industries. From airline
they were reporting flight delays, some people couldn't access their
banking and payment apps. Clearly, some people couldn't go to Starbucks.
(32:53):
There was a lot happening. And then they said that
the experts say that a lot of money was lost,
including billions, that this this disruption could cost billions of
dollars in lost productivity. That experts warned the outage though,
could expose a deeper issue just how dependent our lives
have become on the Internet and how a brief glitch
can fracture systems that.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
We rely on every single day.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
And lastly, now to a serious problem that is affecting
everyday people just trying to live, including myself.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
I'm talking about robo calls. You guys get a lot
of robo calls?
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yeah, man, what is that? I get numbers calling you
and texting you just saying hello, or they're just calling
for years.
Speaker 9 (33:35):
Yes, yes, yes, Well.
Speaker 10 (33:37):
A new report says Americans are getting hit harder than ever.
A new consumer watchdog reports finds that robo calls and
scam texts are exploding across the country, hitting tens of
millions of Americans every single day. The report says that
Americans received get this, y'all, two point five billion robo
calls a month, so that's even that's the largest it's
(33:57):
been ever. They say that scam texts are even bigger,
with nineteen billion calls or texts a month now.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
These scams they come in many forms, fake.
Speaker 10 (34:06):
Iras, calls, bogus bank alerts, phony delivery calls, you name it.
They said that they are getting so sophisticated. Experts say
that the scammers love this because it's cheap to sin
and the payoff can be huge. And now with AI,
they're getting even more smarter, cloning voices and crafting messages
that sound even more real than ever.
Speaker 7 (34:26):
So, yes, the voice notes girl, Some of the voicemails
definitely sound like like people. I know they call them from,
like Baltimore area codes and things like that.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
And then also they'll text you. They'll even text your phone.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
I got one Sunday night, somebody text me and said,
thank you for always being there for me.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
You're truly the best. So I said, who is this
and then.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
The person said my wife's name and said, I'm the
cold this is my work number.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Don't tell me you didn't save it yet.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I said, you have the wrong though, and I immediately
tell my wife, Hey man, it's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
My wife was like, my wife is the one who
told me it was a robo calls.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
She was like, stop texting that number back, that's one
of them robotexts. I'm like, you know, I'm just trying,
you know, make sure that some woman hected me talking
about blah blah blah then the lady gonna say, ooh,
sorry for the confusing I just realized I sent that
message to the wrong number.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
It wasn't meant for you.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
My apologies for the mix up, and I hope I
didn't cause any any inconvenience. Then they said your number
drifted into my thoughts like a leaf on still water.
Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe just an echo
or something yet to be spoken. If you're open to it,
I'd love to share a few words that you. Maybe
we could become good friends.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
That is AI all day like that lifted drift.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
If you have time, let's talk calmly and share a
little bit about ourselves. Set of seven to seven eight number.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
That's how artificial intelligences be talking to you. That's how
they hit you, because then it makes you want to
tell them more and more. Not me, well, not you,
But I'm saying, like those certain people who talk to
that chip that's a chat GPT generated absolutely.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
A response right there. That's crazy.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
Yeah, it is out of control. Congress, they tried to
crack down on it in twenty nineteen. They wanted phone
companies to install software, but to this day, less than
half of even installed and so it is just getting
out of hand. So experts say the best way to
protect yourself y'all is to not answer numbers you don't know,
never click on random texts, and if something feels off,
(36:11):
it probably is.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Hey, don't click them links.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
They send you links sometimes to don't click them because
then they can access your iicloud or whatever.
Speaker 10 (36:19):

that's cousin. If it's not what you say, it is.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Always yeah, makes sense, that's and everybody loves Governor Westeh.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Youin't go ahead. You ain't ever asking no pardon though
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
That was the conversation at this interview. I expunge some
stuff from me.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
How are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (37:29):
First and foremost, I'm feeling great, man. Everything's great.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Everything honestly, everything's good. It's like, you know, I say this,
thank God where Maryland? You know, because I see everything
that's going on around the country, and I see the fear,
the frustration, and I see like Maryland's just moving different.
Maryland's taking care of each other. There's no state that's
taking it on the chin from this Trump administration like Maryland.
(37:53):
I mean, like people forget. Before this ridiculous federal government
shut down, Donald Trump had already fired over fifteen thousand Marylanders,
poor federal workers, pulled grants, I mean, you know, restricted
any type of aid to our folks over in western Maryland.
Despite having historic floods. Literally, when we put in for
federal disaster relief, which we qualified for, they literally sent
(38:15):
a message back saying support from Maryland is not warranted.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Wow, that's it.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
So but despite all that, we have some of the
fastest job growth rates inside the entire country, one of
the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country. We're making
sure we're taking care of our fertile workers. We're making
sure we're uplifting our community. So listen, thank god we're
in Maryland.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
I use Maryland as an example all the time because
I remember I was at my daughter's Chilean tournament back
in like February, and the amount of people who were
walking up to me who were concerned that they were
either going to lose their jobs and they already had
lost their jobs because the dose was insane.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
So I can imagine what you get.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
And Seanman is crazy, because like, who are we talking about.
We're talking about people who do things like make sure
that our food is safe, right, make sure that our
critical infrastructure is make sure they're veterans like myself who
come back home and who need medication, that they're getting
their medication. That's who they're choosing to go after first,
and so looking at this assault that we have had
(39:11):
on our federal workers and again and now we're talking
about the only way that you're going to reopen a
government is by cutting people off health care, raising premiums
by ninety five percent. Health Care is already too expensive,
and now you're talking about raising premiums by ninety five
percent for folks, Like, this is crazy, what's going on?
And so Maryland, you know, in many ways, Maryland really
(39:32):
does take it and have to take it like these
are not indirect blows. These are direct shots at me,
in direct shots at us.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
We get it.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
But the thing that we're really focusing on is how
can we make sure we're protecting our people and really
diversifying our economy so we're not we don't have to
be as reliant on Washington, DC or who sits in
an oval office.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Break it down, like, how will you getting through it?
Because this governance in May is that are having a
hard time, but Maryland is making it through. So how
is Maryland making it through? How are you know, people
finding jobs? How are people paying rent and car notes
and putting food on their table? How are you guys
doing it?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Well, one is I think our folks realizes that we're
not been in the need of nobody anybody who's sitting
there saying well, if you just be quiet, they'll stop,
or if you don't, if you don't push back, they'll
I'm like, listen, I don't know a situation where it's
like listen, if you just be quiet, they'll stop beating you.
Like that's never happens. Never. And so the thing that
(40:27):
we're doing, we're just being We're being aggressive about what
it means to protect our people. So, for example, with
our federal workers, we've made sure that there are pipelines
for our federal workers to be able to get available
in essential state jobs or private sector jobs. We started
something called Feds to Eds where we knew that Maryland
as well as many other states, has a teacher shortage
right now. So I'm saying, if I got someone who's
(40:48):
working for the federal government who was interested and qualified,
get them certified, get them trained, get them in a
classroom as quickly as possible, so we can both address
the teacher shortage as well as making sure that they're
getting employed. That alone, we've now seen since I been
the governor, we have we have clothes that teacher shortage
we have by twenty five percent, and a lot of
that is because of these federal workers who are now
(41:09):
coming on board. We have federal workers who they are
forcing to go to work, which is this is crazy.
They are federal workers that are forcing to go to
work and not paying them. So we got folks in
Maryland who are working and not getting paid. We got
politicians in Washington who are paid and not working right,
and so we.
Speaker 5 (41:28):
Still got to pay taxes, and we still got paid
taxes on them while they're not doing anything right.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
And so for the for federal workers who are now
forced to go to work and they're taking public transportation,
they're paying for public translation despite not getting paycheck.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
So what did I do? I said, for all public
translation for federal workers, it's free.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
Wow, it's free. Just show your federal government pass and
you're good.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
So it's like, so we are making sure we're being aggressive.
We were said, we're as long as we can, We're
going to cover down on Medicaid snap Wick, despite the
fact that the federal government is now cutting it off
from our states. I'm saying that in the state of Maryland,
We're going to make sure that our people are protected
and our people are taken care of. So I tell
our folks man, while Washington is telling this country, you're
(42:11):
on your own. In Maryland, we tell our people we
leave no one behind.
Speaker 5 (42:15):
I wanted to ask you about the No King's protests
that were happening this weekend. In your view, what did
the level of turnout say about public sentiment toward executive
power in America today?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Why?
Speaker 4 (42:26):
I tell you one of the things I was really
taken by. It's not even just the numbers. It's the
where some of the biggest No Kings turnouts that we
had in our state were in rural parts of our state,
conservative parts of our state. And I think about it
this way, man, where it's like, you know, for example,
when we just announced our reelection two weeks ago, some
(42:50):
of the first people that came out and endorsed us
were actually Republican lawmakers, Republican lawmakers in western Maryland because
they were like, at a time, and these are places
that voted for Donald Trump by seventy five, seventy seven,
seventy eight percent, but they were like, but listen, in
our time of need, the governor showed up. We were
(43:12):
some of the first boots on ground when they had
historic flooding out in western Maryland. The President nowhere to
be found that we actually invested millions of dollars to
make sure that they can get furnaces, because I'm telling
you right now, we're talking about some of the coldest
parts of our state and people who do not have furnaces,
people will lose their lives this winter. We put in
millions of dollars from the state to make sure they're good.
(43:32):
The president support from Maryland is not warranted because.
Speaker 16 (43:35):
Of you exactly you exactly known, but it's like, but
but the point is, it's like, so when you're going
out there and you're seeing no kings protests, when you're
seeing them, like, listen, this is is this about?
Speaker 2 (43:51):
You know?
Speaker 4 (43:52):
Is this about rule of law? And it's about rule
of law? Is it about you came in and you
say you make things more affordable? And we said, how
energy prices risen by twenty percent since he's been the president.
That these terrors are making everything from the clothes that
we're wearing to the food. Were the food that were
eating more expensive? Yeah? But you know what, it's also
about you. Keep breaking your promises, man, everything you said
(44:12):
that you were going to do. They are now waking
up and realizing he never cared about you. Right.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
He promised economic change on day one for.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Him, and it happened. He's that great economic change he
has been. I tell you, the two greatest beneficiaries of
the Trump administration so far have been the Trump family
and China. Ooh, the Trump family and China have had
a great streak for the past ten months. Why China,
because it seemed like they've been they've had like issues
because when American leadership pulls back, who's helping to fill
(44:43):
up the vacuum?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Got you that?
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Oftentimes when you're talking about our foreign policy, this really
is a larger battle between the US and China. China
being one of the fastest growing economies over a period
of the past twenty years, China being a country that
has always pushed and reflected and said, we want to
make sure that we're having our proper respect.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
And the United.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
States, who in many ways is kind of like this upstart,
you know, they're like the startup in the globe. Now
we're about to celebrating two hundred and fifty years China's
like two hundred and fifty years. That's a blink of
an eye when it comes to Chinese history. But also
look at what has now happened as the US has
pulled away from things like foreign aid and support in
(45:26):
everywhere from Africa to South America. Who's helped to fill
in that China? Right? Who has helped to come in
when we're having conversations about about about new resources and
energy supports, right and come up with long term energy supplies.
When you have the Trump administration who's pulling away from
increasing energy supplies, which, by the way, is making energy
prices more expensive on everybody. I believe that we should
(45:48):
be investing in solar and wind and nuclear and all
the energy technologies that can help to make energy prices
more affordable because when you increase supply, you then can
be able to decrease costs. Donald Trump is simply saying like, nah,
we're not doing any of that stuff. You know that's
gonna do it continues to drive energy prices up. Do
(46:08):
you know who is investing in those new technologies? China?
So listen, the Trump family and China have done very
very well over the past ten months. The average American family,
not so much.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
And we had a bunch of candidates here, mayoral candidates
from New York and governors from Jersey, and everybody talks
about their relationship or wanting to work with Trump.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
Is that even an option with you? Listen, I'm very clear, man,
I will work with anyone. I will just bow down
to no one. I'm not built that way, Like I'm
always gonna fight for my fai.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Like the people of my.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
State, they understand like like I'm not. I don't come
from a political world. I don't come from a political family.
I don't come from a political background. I'm a soldier.
That's who I am, That's how I'm built. And so
if someone is trying to do something that's going to
benefit the people of my state, if someone's trying to
do something it's going to benefit my community and my people,
(47:02):
then I'm always interested in being able to find ways
of working together and so on and so forth. The
problem is, I have seen nothing from this administration that
shows as an interest in that. I have seen nothing
but shots at us. I've seen nothing but talk about
how you're going to send national guards into my communities.
I've seen nothing but them turning down federal aid and
federal supports that is justified and necessary for the people
(47:24):
of my state. I've seen nothing but them using them,
except using the Constitution like it's a suggestion box. So,
you know, if you want to have a real conversation
about being able to help the people of Maryland and
lift us up and continue the trajectory that we've been
on since my administration has come on board, I'm always
down to have that conversation.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
As a form of soldier talk about the negative things
about having sold just put into the community.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
There are so many problems with this, and it's it's
so deeply performative. And here's here's the thing that gets
me on a couple of fronts. If he wants to
have a real conversation about making our community safer, I'm
here for that. I've been very clear there is no
higher priority for me than making sure that our communities
are safe. I think about what's happened in Maryland and
Maryland for the eight years before I became the governor.
(48:11):
We saw the homicide rate nearly double, the non fatal
shooting rate did double Baltimore City the year before I
became the governor. In twenty twenty two, we had almost
a homicide a day. And so when we came on board,
I said, I Am not going to be a governor
that's going to sit there and give eulogies and give
thoughts and prayers and not do a damn thing about
actually making our community safer. So what do we do?
(48:32):
I started working with Mayor Scott. I started working with
local Sorry, Mayor Scott, Mayor Baltimore. I started working with
local law enforcement. I started working with count executives around
the state. I started actually, we made historic investments in
predictive analytics and technologies and community violence intervention groups, community
violence interruption groups, and the results have been this. In
the past two and a half years, we have seen
(48:53):
how Maryland has had amongst the fastest drops in violent
crime anywhere in the United States of America, amongst the
fastest shops and property anywhere in the United States of America.
The homicide rates in the state of Maryland's inside and
the governor are down nearly twenty five percent that we
have seen in Baltimore City. The last time a homicide
rate was this flow in Baltimore City, I wasn't born yet.
(49:13):
That's the kind of drops we've seen. And now despite
the head the presidents talk about how we have children
who are natural born killers, and he's now going to
send the National Guard in our community. I'm like, first
of all, your nineteen eighties Archie bunker mentality mindset is
not going to fly because it goes against all data
that's actually happening and the momentum we're actually seen. But
(49:36):
the other thing about it is this man is that like,
I know what it's like for these soldiers. I know
what it's like to put on the uniform. I know
what it's like to say good body to your family.
I deployed, I led soldiers overseas in Afghanistan. And so
for him to continue to have this fetish of military
uniforms like it's a child where he's going to ask
these men and women to do something that he was
(49:58):
never willing to do, say good body, your fan family,
and to go to deploy and to do operations and
missions that a they you know, municipal policing is not
something our National Guards are trained for. I'm the Commander
in chief of the Maryland National Guard. I know my
guys are trained for and that's not one of them.
And I also know that if you look at what's
happening in Washington, d C. And the deployments that they're having,
(50:18):
you know, I can tell you that these National guards
men and women, these citizens soldiers who are giving up
their lives because they trust their commander in chief, have
taken more selfies than they've made arrests. They painted more
fences and picked up more trash than they've actually done
drug busts. So what are we talking about right now?
What the president is doing and Headset and all these guys,
(50:41):
It is just it's performative. It's offensive. It's offensive to
our communities. It's offensive to these military personnel. It's offensive
to their families because you're now asking to leave their
families and.
Speaker 5 (50:51):
To do what and nobody ever asking what's the long
term solution? There's a long term solution, never for crime prevention. Okay,
you're doing this now, the long term plan.
Speaker 4 (51:00):
If he wants to have a serious conversation, I would
love for the President United States, and I'm not holding
my breath on this, to have a serious conversation about
policy because listen, I tell him, you know what I
would love to do. I know for myself, and the
mayor and our account executives. We'd love to talk to
you about banning block switches and the ability to turn
these blocks into automatic weapons. We'd love to have a
conversation about banning ghost guns. We'd love to have a
conversation with you about additional ATF and FBI resources and supports.
(51:24):
I love to have a conversation with you about lpr's
license plate readers so that can help to actually track
down cromp. I'd love to have a conversation with you
about stop stop cutting the funding that was coming to
our communities for community violence intervention groups that were actually
on the ground doing the work. But he's not interested
in that. But what he is interested in doing is
(51:44):
he'll cut funding for stuff that's actually working, but then
ask the American taxpayer to pay over a million dollars
a day so they can watch National Guard take selfies.
Speaker 5 (51:53):
Are you concerned, like when you saw the meeting that
you know, a Secretary of War Pete Hesef and President
Trump ad with the US military generals and admirals.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
Are you concerned that.
Speaker 5 (52:03):
Some of those generals and admirals may go along with
him and pledge loyalty to him and not the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (52:09):
I remember I'm gonna I'm on a bunch of different
like UH group chats things with a lot of military
folks who I served with and people were still in
and I remember getting one from a buddy of mine
and he said, listen, I've oftentimes disagreed with the commander
in chief, not often am I embarrassed by him? Wow?
(52:30):
Because I'm embarrassed. Wow, because there's just a lack of
seriousness that he and accept their are taking on this.
There is you know, and one thing I you know,
always say is that listen. As soldiers, we know our job,
we know our oath. We took an oath to the
Constitution and always protect and defend people against all enemies
(52:52):
of this country, foreign and domestic. And we took an
oath that we would always honor all lawful orders of
the present into the United States. The thing that is
is UH is really challenging for a lot of people
right now. Is this blurring of a line that we're
seeing from this White House about what orders are lawful
and what orders are not.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
Well, how do you look at the judicial system now?
Speaker 2 (53:14):
Right?
Speaker 3 (53:15):
You see Trump people get arrested and Trump's like that's
my guy. I'm a part of him, and everything he
has is wiped off. You know, Oh that's my guy.
You ain't got to pay no money back, it's wiped off.
It makes me look at it two ways. One nothing serious,
and two it makes me feel like sometimes when the
Democrats have a guy that went down for something that's
maybe not just that we just leave our people hanging,
(53:37):
or I should say they just leave their people hanging.
Speaker 4 (53:38):
Yeah you still Marilyn Molden.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
Yeah, So how does that make you feel when you
look at the judicial system and you look at, you know,
somebody that you helped try to get in office, well,
whether it was Buyden on his second term, and then
you see how they take care of their people.
Speaker 4 (53:51):
Yeah, you know. I remember when I first when I
first came in the I ended up winning with more
individual votes than anyone who'd ever run for governor in
the history of the state of Maryland, despite literally starting
at one percent. Like, I don't come from any political
background at all. Only one thing beat me on the
ballot that year, and now was cannabis. So I was like, yo,
(54:14):
who is cannabis? And but the same time that I
definitely absolutely but the same time that I was I
was elected governor of Maryland. Maryland voted to have a
recreational cannabis market. So I said, okay, so we're going
to make sure that it's rolled out in a safe,
(54:35):
in a smooth, and an equitable way. And at the
same time, there is no way that I'm going to
celebrate the benefits of legalization if we do not address
the consequences of criminalization. So we got to work and
I ended up signing the largest mass pardon in the
history of the United States of America when I pardoned
(54:56):
over one hundred and seventy five thousand misdemeanor cannabis convictions
and the stroke a pen and saying, like you know
you can, we cannot treat every sentence like a life sentence.
Where we got a new billion dollar market in the
state of Maryland, but I got people who can't get
a barber's license, right. That was how we can utilize
the power of the pardon in a way that actually
supports the people, in a way that actually helps to
(55:18):
right some of these wrongs that have been taking place before.
There's a very humble responsibility that I know I take
where I'm one of fifty one people on the planet
that have the ability to pardon, right all of our
state's governors and the president of the United States. Those
are the only ones that have the ability to look
at somebody and say, we are going to forgive you
(55:41):
of the past issue might.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
Have been involved with.
Speaker 4 (55:43):
We're going to make sure we can clean up your
record to make sure we can give you a second
chance at life. It's a very unique power. And I
think about Donald Trump man and the first thing that
he did when he got back into office his time
was part of the people on January sixth. There is
just so everything that I'm seeing right now. None of
it surprises me, because the man told you who he
(56:04):
was and who he was going to fight for. And
so I think that, you know, I'm thankful that we
have a legal system in some cases that is helping
to hold the line. I'm thankful that we have judges
that are actually honoring the law and not bending the knee.
Yet at the same time, you know this, this this
(56:26):
weaponization of our legal system that we continue to see,
and frankly, this you know, this very loose way that
he is using a very specific and powerful ability to pardon.
I think is more just a continuation of the case.
Speaker 5 (56:40):
Well, I got through more questions because I know you
got Okay, how are you handling the pressure you're facing
to redistrict Maryland?
Speaker 4 (56:47):
Well, I'm very clear. Listen, Maryland. If we have this
country and we have Donald Trump who is picking and
choosing which states should redistrict and people and people, remember
why we're even having this conversation, right, The reason the
reason why we're having this conversation is because what issue
is Donald Trump going to run on in admiterm elections?
Speaker 2 (57:08):
Right?
Speaker 3 (57:09):
I made all your prices higher.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (57:12):
I fired a bunch of people and driven up the
unemployment rate. We've made our communities less safe. But hey,
vote for me. You're not gonna win on that. So
what do you do? You change the rules? You rig
the game. Frankly, it's very It's a simple continuation of
what this man has done his entire life.
Speaker 2 (57:30):
Right.
Speaker 4 (57:31):
And so my point is this, if Donald Trump is
calling individual states and individual Republican states and saying, I
need you to find me a congress person here, I
need you to do this. I need you to find
me a fair map, then my point is this, if
all these states are going to have conversations about do
they have a fair map?
Speaker 3 (57:48):
So will Maryland?
Speaker 5 (57:49):
You have to you gotta fight fire with fire, and
former bite freend Kamala Harris said it last week. You
gotta fight fire with five.
Speaker 4 (57:54):
If these states are going to talk about do they
have a fair map, then you know what Maryland needs
to decide.
Speaker 3 (57:59):
Do we have a fair map too?
Speaker 4 (58:00):
That's right, do.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
We have a fair map?
Speaker 4 (58:01):
And I can tell you right now if you look
at our congressional districts and people talk about I don't
like Jeremny, I hate jeremanner.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
I think it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (58:08):
I think it's ridiculous right now that less than ten
percent of all congressional seats are actually competitive. The average
congress person ends up winning by like twenty thirty forty points.
So all you got to do is make it past
your primary and you're good. Right, So this entire system
is jerrymandered right now. And so if we are going
to talk about what does it mean to have fair
maps and what does it mean to have systems where
(58:29):
people can actually be heard and represented, and you have
people choosing the representatives and not represented choosing their people,
then you know what add Maryland.
Speaker 2 (58:37):
To that list.
Speaker 4 (58:38):
Who should have that conversation too. Absolutely, this is my
last question.
Speaker 5 (58:41):
You know, I want you to talk about this because
you know, I saw you get a little flack because
you veto a measure to create a commission to study
potential slavery reparations to the state of Maryland. But to me,
you had a valid reason if people actually heard your
home statement exactly.
Speaker 4 (58:55):
I mean, listen, what I said was, I'm a person
of action. I don't need more studies. I mean like,
we've done four studies over the past twenty years and
similar type of elements one seven four studies over the
past twenty years, by the way, one of which my
wife worked on. And so when we're now talking about
doing a two year study on something that I know
(59:20):
the answer to, I'm like, what are we studying? And
this was my point. I think about the work, and
again I'm not saying that that this issue was not
worth working on. In fact, frankly, I've been working very
closely with the members of our caucus and members of
the community around a whole series of these issues. It's
the reason that we just authorized four hundred million dollars
(59:40):
for a just community initiative, which made sure that we're
putting four hundred million dollars of additional capital into communities
that have been that have been the subject and have
been truly hurt by racist and discriminatory policies, things like redlining,
things like mass incarceration, things like you know, things like
mass highway constructions which were cutting off neighborhoods that we said,
(01:00:01):
we are going to identify all those communities and neighborhoods,
and we're starting off with just four hundred million dollars
that's going specifically to those neighborhoods to address the racist
policies of the past. It's the reason that we've done
things like historic investments in our HBCUs because they've been
historically neglected and pulled back on. Maryland has four remarkable HBCUs.
We're putting a storic investment back into them. It's the
(01:00:22):
reason we've done things like the mass pardons and giving
people a second chance of life, because who do people
think that that is going to benefit most. It's the
reason that we've done things like procurement reform and created
black millionaires inside of the state of Maryland. I am
unapologetic about the support for our black community, for the
support for black people who oftentimes have been the fabric
(01:00:45):
and the backbone for so much of our society. And
I know right now when we are watching this assault,
this assault on our communities, when we're watching you know,
the Trump administration now is fire and to find more
black women than we have seen in a generation that
we have now seen seen our insurance being pulled away.
Grant's going to entrepreneurs that everything that is connected to diversity, equity,
(01:01:09):
inclusion that they are making illegal. We don't need it
to your study right now, man, I need action. I
need action. And so that was the point that we're
trying to make is that in this time, in this
crisis moment, I don't need a study. Let's get to it.
Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
Let's get to it.
Speaker 4 (01:01:25):

Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren
be coming a straight thing.
Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 19 (01:01:48):
I'm a long grand that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
That she'd be having the latest on you, the.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, Sometimes you
have a little bit every time was the.
Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Leaders on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (01:02:04):
So Diddy may be pardoned this week.
Speaker 18 (01:02:07):
This news comes from a high ranking White House official.
Speaker 19 (01:02:11):
It's an alleged report.
Speaker 18 (01:02:13):
I reached out and didn't get any response true or
not true on this, So I don't know, you know
where that leaves us. But according to a high ranking
White House official, they told TMC that Trump is considering
commuting Diddy's sentence as early as this week. Now, according
to this source, Trump is going back and forth on this,
and there are some White House staff that are saying,
don't do it.
Speaker 19 (01:02:33):
Leave it alone. He wasn't supporting you.
Speaker 18 (01:02:35):
But the source made it clear Trump is going to
do what he wants, so it can happen as early
as this week. Now, y'all remember when there was you know,
some of Diddy's attorneys that were doing interviews and saying
that they were having conversations with Trump, and then they
came back out and said they weren't having the conversations.
So this, this source is saying that even when all
that back and forth was happening, there were really conversations
(01:02:56):
going on. And the day after Diddy was sentenced themversation
started again. And that was the same week that Trump
remember that clip of him went Barbara when he said that,
did he just act for a pardon?
Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:03:06):
Or yeah?
Speaker 18 (01:03:07):
So you know, all that is happening, So you know,
did he had served you know, thirteen months at this
point he was sentenced to four years and two months.
But if this happens, none of that will matter. So
we will have to wait to see what happens.
Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
And you're gonna come home and be h.
Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
You know, you got to come home and be Trump's
holding Oh my guy, when they do that UFC fight
on the White House lawn, you will be the performance.
Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
You will be the live entertainment. You will be shaking ass.
Speaker 19 (01:03:29):
Yeah, yeah, he has to.
Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
But how was this information getting leaked right when George
Santos just got part and nobody knew until it was done.
I feel like they keep talking about it and it
allows people to shoot it down.
Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
And then it'll be yeah, it'll be a way to
stop it. What happened.
Speaker 5 (01:03:42):
I mean, to be honest with you, they probably might
have been talking about George Santo's getting the part. I
just that's not my algorithm.
Speaker 18 (01:03:49):
And to be honest with you, this is gonna be
a great pr thing for Trump. So how do things
get leaked? They get leaked when people want you to
know what might be happening, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 19 (01:03:57):
Now.
Speaker 18 (01:03:58):
At the same time as this news, like literally right
before this news broke, there was a notice file by
Diddy's attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, who is in charge of his appeal,
and they basically just put the cord on notice set
in four to six weeks they're going to be appealing
the sentence.
Speaker 19 (01:04:13):
So either way they're like okay.
Speaker 18 (01:04:15):
From what we hear from this source, it's like either
they're gonna do what they're doing with Trump and he
gonna come home, or they're gonna try and appeal it
to bring him home as well. And I did ask
my source if Diddy is going to be involved in
like figuring out what the angle of the appeal is
and all the things, because he was super involved during
the trial, and they said, of course he will be,
of course, But He's in really great hands because she's
one of the best attorneys at this in the game.
Speaker 5 (01:04:37):
So they need to do a reality show based on
Trump's pardon process.
Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
I just want to know. I just don't want to
know how he comes.
Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
To the conclusions that this individual needs part. I just
would love to see it.
Speaker 19 (01:04:48):
It's probably like a board that he spends.
Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
I just want to see it.
Speaker 19 (01:04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (01:04:54):
Well, in other news, uh, Janet Jackson did not make
Tupac taking AIDS tests before the kissing Singing poet sing
in Poetic Justice.
Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
What that was a huge rumor.
Speaker 19 (01:05:05):
Yes, it came back up again. So it came back.
Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
It was never cleared up. I really thought that's what
she did. That's what I think a lot of people did.
Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
Well.
Speaker 19 (01:05:14):
Actually it was cleared up.
Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
I was cleaned up a bunch of times. I remember
Supac talked about it, Janet talked about it.
Speaker 18 (01:05:20):
John Singleton talked about it. Go on Drink Champs some
years ago.
Speaker 6 (01:05:24):
This first time I ever heard about it.
Speaker 18 (01:05:26):
Well, okay, so let's take a listen to what John
Singleton said when he cleared it up years ago and
Drink Chaps, and then I'll get into what the why
it came up again.
Speaker 19 (01:05:32):
That's sick a listen.
Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Is that serious that whole age thing.
Speaker 22 (01:05:35):
No, that was not serious. That was a joke that
we was having on the set. The real talk Isepac
was attracted to Janet. I was attracted to Janet. We're
both trying to like flirt winter stuff. And I'm like,
you know what, I don't know if I should have
you kissing on my actress because you know, you've been
around doing all this. You Pop was just coming on
his own there, right, and I was like, man, yeah,
(01:05:57):
you know what, you're gonna have to do age test
for y'all do this left.
Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
And it was a joke.
Speaker 23 (01:06:01):
She said that, you know, it's we saw right before,
just like and they were like, oh, we should use this,
we should.
Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Put this out.
Speaker 16 (01:06:12):
So that's what we did as a publicity as a publicity.
Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Thing, We just did that.
Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
It was just everybody Jackson about that.
Speaker 22 (01:06:20):
It was just us talking on this on the set
and everything of this, And you know, it was an
outside joke.
Speaker 5 (01:06:24):
By the way, that was twenty seventeen. I guess we
live in the area where you got to repeat the
same thing over and over every ten.
Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Years just for people so much content.
Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
Yeah, I never heard that content, never heard.
Speaker 18 (01:06:33):
It right, but also to so there's a new book
that just came out. It's called Only God Can Judge
Me The Many Lives of Tupacsha cor And it talks
about this in the book. And uh, the author of
the books, you know, says that he's spoken to people
on the set who recalled that incident. And there's an
ebsert that was released to certain outlets which brought this
back up. So here we are re explaining or rehashing it,
(01:06:54):
but we have it right from John Singleton that it
did not happen that way.
Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (01:07:00):
So that is it for the latest this morning, guys.
Speaker 18 (01:07:04):
For a second hour, I have one more, actually we
can do congratulations to Taraji speaking of John Singleton, because
she just signed a two picture deal with Netflix.
Speaker 19 (01:07:12):
Did you guys see that in.
Speaker 18 (01:07:16):
Yeah, I just auditioned for one of them Rules team,
which one well probably can't tell.
Speaker 6 (01:07:20):
Me, but I just auditioned for one of the Rules.
Speaker 19 (01:07:23):
That would be a part of her deal.
Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
Also, they tell you about one of the movies that she's.
Speaker 19 (01:07:28):
Doing, so yeah, me too. That's fire.
Speaker 18 (01:07:32):
So they tell you like this, this is a part
of that, So you knew this news before it was
out right, now.
Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
To shoot that movie I did. What are we talking about?
For the lad Charlmon?
Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Give you Michael Jackson. Need to come to.
Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
Michael Jackson run in the congregate. Stop.
Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
We like to have a word with him, and I
don't want to hear nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
You just play earlier. Michael Jackson needs to come to.
Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
The front of her How can he come to the
front of the congo question jes spirit?
Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Okay, all right, get to that nexus to breakfast loco morning.
Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
With the it's time.
Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Don't give around here.
Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
Yes, you are a donkey?
Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
What the hell is.
Speaker 4 (01:08:33):
Some donkey to days? Just saw himself? Oh man, Charlo Man?
Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Who you giving donky to? Did to man?
Speaker 13 (01:08:45):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
Donkey today for Tuesday, October twenty first goes to a
Southeast Kansas man named Michael Jackson. Okay, and not the
one who sang Billy Jean. I need y'all to know that, Okay.
The Crawford County Sheriff's Office made that perfectly clear. They
literally said, verbatim, not the one who's saying Billy Jean.
Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
We are such an unserious people.
Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
Now, let me tell y'all something and I really want
y'all to remember this. If you don't listen to another
word that ever comes out of Uncle Sharler's mouth, just
please listen to this.
Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
Whenever someone tells you to not call the cops about something,
call the cops about that something. Okay, that's just a
pretty good rule of thumb to follow. See what had happened?
Was Michael Jackson stole a two thousand and three Chevrolet Silverado,
and deputies received a call that a man had pulled
into a residence and asked the homeowner for gas and
(01:09:35):
to not call the cops. See this man, Michael Jackson
stole the car, didn't have no gas in the car,
and then pulled into a random stranger's house asking for gas.
Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
Michael Jackson, you don't know how any of this works,
do you? Okay? You think you can just steal a truck,
pull up.
Speaker 5 (01:09:51):
To a random stranger's house for gas, and then moon
walk out of the situation like that's normal.
Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
Absolutely not. Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
Now let's discuss all right, when stealing a car, make
sure the car got gas in it. Okay, Why the
hell would you steal a car that may or may
not have enough gas in it.
Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Okay, what if you need to do a quick getaway?
Speaker 5 (01:10:09):
What if the cops are chasing you and you on
e Okay, Michael Jackson, you supposed to be a smooth criminal.
Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:10:16):
Not to mention, why would you stop at some random
stranger's house for gas?
Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
Where was Excellon? Where was wild?
Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Why?
Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Where was Spinx?
Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Where was Shelle?
Speaker 5 (01:10:25):
The Michael Jackson I know said don't stop till you
get enough. You had to stop because you needed gas.
Y'all are not the same, Okay. See I love people
who plan all the way to the end, all right.
That's Law twenty nine and the forty eight Laws of power.
Make detailed plans with a clear ending. Think far ahead,
take into account all possible developments, plan all the way
(01:10:46):
to the end, and don't be swayed by wishful thinking.
Then pursue your plans and don't be tempted from your path.
See this, Michael Jackson didn't do that. And when you
want to be starting something, you have to know how
that's starting end. Because the only thing this Michael Jackson
got started was a police report. Okay, I just don't
understand people. Sometimes man, folks commit crimes. So ridiculous that
(01:11:11):
I think they do it on purpose. Okay, times are
hard out here. Housing is not affordable. Forty two million
people are at risk of losing their food stamps right now. Okay,
there are some with no home, not a nickeled alone.
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
If you don't got nothing else going on in life,
maybe jail is a viable option.
Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
Some people don't have no family, some people don't care
about freedom like that. But I wish that I could
have told Michael Jackson you are not alone. Okay, you
don't have to do this, all right. There's a place
for you in this society. But I can't make you
believe that. All right, The change you seek starts with you. Yes,
the man in the mirror, Michael, I'm asking you to
(01:11:52):
change your petty, criminal ways. If you want to make
the world a better place, take a look at yourself
and then make a change. Please give this Southeast Kansas
man named Michael Jackson the biggest he.
Speaker 24 (01:12:05):
Heat m hm yo, no, he just.
Speaker 4 (01:12:17):
That's it, you get the biggest.
Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
I just want to let anybody know that if you
steal my car or my wife's car, get yourself a
little extra time to go to gas station like that.
We ain't never got no gas for some reason in
the carse.
Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
Yo, he gave me my e.
Speaker 5 (01:12:36):
That's what he's gonna say when they ask him what's
his agenda during the intake process.
Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
Yes, you okay? Are you okay? Nigga?
Speaker 6 (01:12:47):
That's so funny.
Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
All right, well, thank you, thank you for that donkey
of the day. So now when we come back, Jeremy
Renner will be joining us, you know, Mayor of Kingston.
Hawk Eye Season four of Mayor of Kingston will be
out Son Day this Sunday, October twenty six. So we're
gonna talk to Kingstown, Kingston or Kingstown.
Speaker 5 (01:13:06):
You made a white man imagine Mayor of Kingstown Kingstown
also known as Handful.
Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
From Hanslon Riding Rights. Alright, alright, we'll talk to him next.
It's the Breakfast Club. One morning, the Breakfast.
Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
Club, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
the building. I feel like I know him.
Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
I feel like you know him.
Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
I mean, I know a Hawk guy.
Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
You know what I'm saying. Well, you're watching him for
like the path twenty years at fels.
Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
Like Jeremy Right. Now, ladies and gentlemen, welcome, Hey, how
you doing breakfast club?
Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
Feeling good?
Speaker 14 (01:13:44):
Oil, very happy, very blessed to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Amy of Kingstown Season four is coming.
Speaker 14 (01:13:49):
That's right, man, that's been a wonderful job. Yeah, I
love it, man. It's it's pretty exciting we've got to
especially this far into the series. It's the best season
so far, because I think just because you know the
characters season one.
Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
Huh you said better than season one?
Speaker 14 (01:14:10):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, just because the audience will know
all the characters, so now we can take all this
instead of having a bunch of being seening d storylines
give everybody into the same narrative, so we're all kind
of we're watching a movie type of vibe. So bit
excited about that. It was just a lot of amazing
characters in the show too. It's pretty diverse.
Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
You You played everything from blue collar heroes the conflicted
anti heroes.
Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
What kind of roles challenge you to most at this stage?
Speaker 14 (01:14:35):
Yeah, I think like all those. I think, you know,
if you play a bad guy, it's got to be
something pretty conflicted. You might, you know, with the audience
kind of has a great understanding of why he's a
bad guy and a good guy. You know, you have
to have things go wrong for you otherwise, you know,
we don't have a story, right, So I just look
for always complicated characters. I think that's whether you ride
(01:14:57):
the line of I think I've kind of built a
career of like see a good guy or a bad guy?
You're not going you already both or just like every
human being on the planet, there's a lot of good
in a lot of us, and then that we can do.
We can do bad behavior, but can still be a
good person.
Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Right.
Speaker 14 (01:15:10):
These are all just very human sort of traits and behaviors.
So I'm kind of attracted to those.
Speaker 5 (01:15:15):
Is it hard to get out of that space when
you dive so deep into.
Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
Like those moral gray areas, especially like on the show
like King Thu.
Speaker 14 (01:15:23):
No, Yeah, there's there's such you know, like when I
put that suit on, there's a there's a certain there's
this an energy to think same if I suit up
for Hawkeye or whatever it might be. There's it's easy.
You want to shed the skin of the the actual skin.
You can really kind of emotionally in psychologically you know
shed that you kind of have to you have to
practice that.
Speaker 7 (01:15:44):
How do you see your character Mike on the show?
But do you see him as superhero, anti hero, something
in between?
Speaker 24 (01:15:50):
How do you?
Speaker 14 (01:15:51):
I don't know there's a hero is in there. I
think it's uh. I think there's a moral code to
him that's and ethics to him that I'm attracted to,
even though it might come with some gray area moral
gray area as well being you know, coming from incarceration,
and but I think there's something selfless about Mike McCluskey
(01:16:14):
that I'm attracted to. So that does make him more
heroic or more good I think, than than bad, even
though there are some moral you know, gray areas with him.
But I think the intention behind him is always forthright
and being selfless.
Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
When you look at how you played Mayo of Kingstown
in his show, and then you look at today's American
and some of the things that politics is doing.
Speaker 4 (01:16:39):
Now, how do you compare the same.
Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Well, I think mcclussey's kind of needed, you.
Speaker 14 (01:16:43):
Know, we need, we need I think someone that can
kind of grease the wheels on all all all sides
and all kind of smooth the edges of people. I
think there's a lot of device inness that kind of
goes on and a lot of things that can divide us.
And I think what's important is to unite us all
like in just like.
Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
In in mary Kingstown.
Speaker 14 (01:17:03):
In that world, the world of incarceration, you know, there's
there's people waiting for people to get out of the prison,
there's people waiting to get out of prison. There's some
people that work in the prison, and uh, in all
all different levels of incarceration. How how that world works.
I think there has to be some sort of Greece
to kind of uh, you know, unite people and in
(01:17:23):
all these different perspectives, like and it happens all the
time in real life with you know, just the prison.
Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
Guard life is a very brutal job or.
Speaker 14 (01:17:32):
Just being incarcerated, that's a very brutal sort of place
in space to be. I think that this had a
really cool documentary that came out that was shot in
the prison.
Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
Oh I heard about that.
Speaker 14 (01:17:41):
Yeah, such amazing. I just saw it. I don't know,
I can't remember what it was on. Was on Netflix
or something.
Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
But Alabama, Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, Birmingham Friday and everybody.
Speaker 14 (01:17:52):
Yeah, but it's sort of like kind of injustices that
go on, you know, and in incarceration and so anyways,
it's just it's I just think it's it's like, you know,
I think there's there is a kind of kind of
great need for that, like the morally great area guy
to come in and be able to listen to everybody.
I think that's what even with what sort of politicians
should do.
Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
They said we should do that more, I was gonna ask,
because in mayor of Kingstown, you deal with the bad
guys and the good guys, correct, but you are the
kind of keeping the peace with that side. And I
feel like sometimes with maya's and governors or even why
I can't even say president, but maya's and governors seems
like they stay away from the bad guys, like they
just messed with the good guys where they can't make
sure there is peace.
Speaker 14 (01:18:33):
Yeah, you know what, I think like money just sort
of pushes us around and and uh forces our hand.
And I think I think capitalism is sort of the
crushing of humanity for us right now.
Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
And uh, you know, I.
Speaker 14 (01:18:48):
Don't really lead that way. I kind of lead with
a more open heart but yeah, I think you know,
you know, you're supposed to serve the people. But to
serve the people, you have to listen to the people,
understand the people. But also the people have to speak out,
and we have to like you know, be uh be vocal,
and you know, everybody needs to be witnessed, right, Everybody
needs to be understood. And when we don't feel that way,
(01:19:11):
we get divided, right, And you know, I think we
need to find ways to to unite, man, because that's
that's what we are. That's well how you know, how
we how we survive, is how we succeed.
Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
It's how we.
Speaker 5 (01:19:25):
Flourish, you know, even if you can't fully understand a
person's you know, story, understand their existence as a human.
Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
I think the golden rule that we learned as kids everything.
Speaker 14 (01:19:37):
Exactly third grade playground rules.
Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
That's that's my.
Speaker 14 (01:19:40):
Sort of like religion, if you will. It's like all
that third grade playground stuff. It's like, treat people like
you want to be treated like all that stuff. And
it's like if we operate from that accord, you know,
if we got like tax breaks for doing those applying
those rules, like you know, we've been doing it more
often so I think it's important to you know, at
least that's it's how it's I think we can all
even agree that that's.
Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
We're for all out crazy tax base basically for.
Speaker 14 (01:20:03):
Being kind, Yeah, for being kind of walking someone across
the street tax but yeah, I forget. Then you got
everybody hugging each other and walking throwing each other's laws.
I love that, right, I mean that's just called community.
That's called humanity, right, And I think for an as
system that doesn't allow for that to happen.
Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
E Sadly, I wanted to I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
Go back a little bit a couple of years ago, right,
I remember you were all over the news in twenty
twenty three. A fourteen thousand pounds snow plow ran you over.
Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
You were saving your nephew.
Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
They say that, you know, they had to revive you,
and they said that you even upset that they revived
you because it was like it was so break that down.
What happened? Please tell us?
Speaker 14 (01:20:45):
Yeah, yeah, that was an incident that happened in my
driveway on New Year's Day. And uh yeah, it's a lot.
You know, I had to spend a lot of time
writing book about even so there's a lot of the
healing goes on in that. But yeah, it's like it's
like a you know, near death experience essentially, and it's
(01:21:06):
an incident that that transpired that I mean, I have
like zero regrets about it. I do it again for
the same instance what happened. Maybe I'd go about it
a little bit differently.
Speaker 4 (01:21:15):
But you saved your nephew. Yeah, my nephew.
Speaker 14 (01:21:18):
Yeah, he was at risk. He's gonna get ran over
by the machine. So I tried to jump back on
I got knocked off of this tank like machine and
try to jump back on it, and it has like
these tank tracks, and it's you can't. It's it's a
stupid thing, ultimately, really to do. But you know what
else you're gonna do. I'm not gonna sit there and
watch him get crushed. So I try to jump onto
the machine to stop it, and then I got crushed instead.
(01:21:41):
And but at any rate, you know, we know the
end of the story here and flourishing and happy, and
I learned so many great things and gifts that came
from from.
Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Dying and coming back.
Speaker 5 (01:21:52):
So you actually died, yeah, yeah, yeah, did you see
heaven or did you Yeah?
Speaker 14 (01:21:57):
Well, I don't know if we call it heaven, but
I guess, you know, version of it is. It's pretty
pretty amazing. What I was really strange though about it all.
It's like I have, you know, very specific sort of
feelings about it privately. And then there's this doctor I
talked to that and I talked with on this Oprah
on the Opra show that she has, and this guy
that all he does is is to deal with your
(01:22:18):
death experiences. And then he spoke about sort of the
general sort of ideas of things that people experience over
the forty years he's been studying it. And by the
time they got to me to ask me questions, I
had had nothing to say. The guy I almost said
word for word what I wrote in the book about
my personal experience, and it ends up being like really
common with everybody that has in near death experience. So
(01:22:39):
it's not that I didn't feel special or anything, as
I felt like it's actually felt more concrete resolved about
what does happen when you pass or when you almost
pass or I mean I certainly went away for a
minute or I don't know how much. Time doesn't matter,
but it's a pretty pretty interesting experience. And then to
know that I was and alone in it, that it
(01:23:01):
wasn't just sort of my you know, one time shot
at it. It was that it's there's something really concrete
about it, and it's beautiful and it's it's ultimately in
the short of it, I think just about love and
the only thing sort of you take with you because
like like hate write a very very powerful, powerful human emotion.
Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
It could run a country on it.
Speaker 14 (01:23:20):
I love sadly can't even though it's pretty powerful human emotion, right,
but it hate only exists on the on the tails
of love because hate burns out, burns hot and fast,
and then it dies. There can't hate forever, but you
can love forever, and it's a perpetuity. And that's the
only thing you kind of take with you. And it's
a it's a beautiful you know. It's how I kind
(01:23:40):
of continue on as I walk through the day and
breathe through the day and feel blessed and honored to
be here. But I only focus on shared experiences with
love and people I care about, and nothing else really
matters outside that.
Speaker 4 (01:23:55):
Did it make me appreciate God even more?
Speaker 14 (01:23:59):
I don't know if it's about it apreciating God more.
I think it's about it. I think I appreciate like
like love more, or or I really just wiped away
all the white noise of nonsense that I gave credence to.
There's so many things that you know, I gave value
to that doesn't have any value, and I continue down
that path, whether that's a path of God or not.
It's just like I just only do things that are
(01:24:21):
very purposeful and very intended. I don't do anything otherwise.
I don't do anything the kind of I don't anything
with my one toe. It's either all or not. Everything
I do is with great, great purpose and great clarity.
And there's a free it's very freeing right when we
allow ourselves to not get our own way, not to
just be just so focused and what we really want
(01:24:42):
and what we really want and like what really has value.
And then you know, I had to go to the
nth degree right to to learn that. I mean, it's
partially why I was kind of writing a book about it.
If anybody else could grab onto some of the blessings.
I got so many great gifts and blessings from being
tested to my limits and and squeezing all the crap
(01:25:03):
out of me.
Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
I suppose you know, the book is my next breath?
Speaker 5 (01:25:06):
Is it true that Marble reportedly cuts your salary in
half because of the snow plow incident?
Speaker 14 (01:25:12):
Not because of the snowplows, No, it's just because, you know,
if they want to do season two and they're just
off offered half the amount to do season two, I'm like, yeah,
of course I love to do it, but it's going
to take a lot of physical work to get back.
Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
And do it.
Speaker 14 (01:25:25):
So and also just the timing because it would take
a little bit more time for me to physically do
the role. And maybe I just wasn't ready last year.
It's like maybe it's it's it'll happen, you know, and
in a year or two to come, you know, but
because I was still in recovery and it will be
for for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
But I'm just getting stronger every day.
Speaker 5 (01:25:43):
You know, Are you in Secret Wars and all that? No, damn,
are you afraid? You know what the multi verse? Now
they can just bring another hawk off.
Speaker 4 (01:25:53):
Half. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 14 (01:25:55):
If they want to do that, they can go ahead
of all means you can do that. I got, I got.
I'm pretty busy myself.
Speaker 5 (01:26:02):
Script was the script because I always think about this
one line, right. It was an indiame and it was
when y'all was arguing about after Natalie the.
Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Tall you die Natalie, Oh yeah yeah, and you say
maybe you want to go talk to them. Okay, go
grab your hammer and you go fly and talk to him.
Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
I'm like, it just sounded off in the script.
Speaker 16 (01:26:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Why this fact I made that one up.
Speaker 5 (01:26:24):
You did, no way wrote that.
Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
They told you in that moment.
Speaker 14 (01:26:33):
The best line it can always win, and especially but
that's not a comedic one. Usually it's about comedy stuff. Well,
if we're throw in something that's very charactery, it's like
it's it's it's you can be loose with some things.
It depends on the you know, you never want to
mess with the obvious storylines and things like that, and
things have to always be truthful. So but that was
like a very heated sort of you know, kind of
kind of human Yeah. Yeah, a lot of us are.
(01:26:56):
And it's it's, you know, with the whole to chuck
some thing across the lake and they think everyone got
their own feelings. But yeah, and also like you know,
Hawkey's doesn't have any superpower. It's not like really like
a superhero. He is, but he's you know, very he's
like a he's like the dad of of the Marvel
universe in a lot of ways, you know. So that
line is just something very sort of kind of pragmatic.
(01:27:16):
If like, yeah, you can go fly around with your
superpower super fabio, you know whatever. Thing right, It's just
something you know, truthful as you you can be.
Speaker 4 (01:27:24):
You know, I want want to ask you something in
regards to Marvel.
Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
You know, you've had your you had some controversies, you know,
allegations your ex wife made about you. But why did
Marvels stick with you but was quick to discard somebody
like Jonathan Mags.
Speaker 14 (01:27:37):
I I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
if there's which the difference between you know, gossip and
then if it's between anything else. I don't know enough
about Jonathan Uh in this situation too uh to know.
I know they had big plans for that character, that's
(01:27:58):
for sure. So whatever transpired, Yeah, that's I mean, that sucks.
I think if due diligence, I think really has to
be played out. So I don't I don't know enough
information to know.
Speaker 3 (01:28:12):
Yeah, I mean it just doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
And how it happened, I mean I didn't you afituays
have nothing to do with each other.
Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
But overall, you know art of marvel.
Speaker 14 (01:28:21):
Yeah, yeah, well that I think. I think there's a bigger,
bigger kind of scope to that, to you know, like
you know, the idea of public opinion becoming part of
like a court process or something like that. It's like
we'll how about law and all that. You know, like
when there like you know, public opinion become more valuable
than the actual truth or real you know, anything on
any situation. Right, And we've had that for a while
(01:28:44):
ever since the with media and social media and all
that sort of stuff sort of connectivity, and you know,
I think it makes kind of dangerous, yes me, you know,
I think it's pretty dangerous, like all that, all the
cancer culture and all that sort of stuff. It's like, wow, man,
that just makes me want to run and hide from
like and why why put yourself out there and do
(01:29:05):
anything for anybody at all? You know, It's like it's
really kind of anybody can say anything, Yeah, yeah, then
they can and so silly.
Speaker 4 (01:29:12):
And don't get me wrong. I'm glad Marbled didn't.
Speaker 13 (01:29:14):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:29:14):
I'm glad Marble saw allegations for what they was and
stuck by you. I just wondered why they didn't extend
that same grace as somebody like Jonathan. You seen them
on video running away from a situation.
Speaker 14 (01:29:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I do not know.
Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
Well, we appreciate you for joining us. Season four, Mayor

and ladies and gentlemen, make sure you check out. Season four,
Mayor of Kingstown premieres on the twenty six on Paramount Plus.
And it's The Breakfast Club. Good Morning, The Breakfast Club
stee j n V Jess Hilariyu and Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest
with Laura Lauren becoming a straight fast she gets them
(01:30:31):
somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 19 (01:30:33):
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
She'd be having the latest on this big law.
Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
The latest with Laura la Rosa.
Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details.
Speaker 4 (01:30:43):
Sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
Speaker 18 (01:30:49):
So you guys remember the Lebron fan who had sued
Lebron because he went on and brought the ticket steak
and Lebron was retiring.
Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Who was about to sue you?
Speaker 18 (01:30:57):
No, he had, he was, Yeah, but he was. He
was in court, not in court, but he had put
it in. So his name is Andrew Garcia and it
was a small claims court where that was filed. But
he has recently put in docks to dismiss the lawsuit.
Speaker 19 (01:31:12):
And I talked to him last night, so night, Yes,
I spoke to him last night.
Speaker 18 (01:31:16):
So the docs that he put in basically say that
there was a company, a sports betting company that reached
out to him and said, you know what, we saw
your story well, and he alleges they offered him two
tickets to any Lakers game in some merchandise. So he's like,
you know what, I can't resell the tickets that I
have right now. At least I'll get to go to
a Lakers game. So he says he took the offer,
(01:31:37):
and he has put in the documents that he needs
to put into dismiss the lawsuit.
Speaker 19 (01:31:40):
Now.
Speaker 18 (01:31:41):
He says that the company that reached out is Prize Picks.
I have reached out to that Prize Picks that have
not heard back from them. And what he says is
that he's going to be attending the game against the
Spurs on November fifth. They gave him an option of
a couple of different games, but that's the one that
he chose. And he says that you know the in
the first place, it wasn't about money or trying to
get a ton of money. He just wanted his money
(01:32:02):
back because he says things are expensive right now, but
the way that the Kondom has up right now, things
are expensive. He says that he's been a lifelong.
Speaker 4 (01:32:11):
You had a little CASELL looked at me like I
was crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Those case they with him.
Speaker 19 (01:32:15):
It was, but that wasn't Lebron that, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 18 (01:32:18):
But I think I think that they reached out and
did it because they knew people would talk about it.
Speaker 19 (01:32:21):
So it's a good little club for them. But also
it's just a nice thing to do.
Speaker 5 (01:32:24):
And I didn't say he would you win? I just
thought that, you know, I've heard more ridiculous things brought
the court. Of course, of course that was. That wasn't
ridiculous to me.
Speaker 18 (01:32:32):
Yeah, well he'll be attending that game, and you know,
they're having a good time, and it's two tickets, so
he'll be able to take somebody with him.
Speaker 19 (01:32:40):
And he said, no, why would he ask me?
Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
You're on the phone with him, you know.
Speaker 19 (01:32:46):
No, he didn't ask me.
Speaker 7 (01:32:49):
Didn't making songs talk about you? It's stupid though it
is not. It's not dumb, don't.
Speaker 20 (01:32:58):
Well.
Speaker 19 (01:32:58):
I like the part I heard the what's his name?
Speaker 20 (01:33:03):
Uh uh?
Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
Talk about I didn't.
Speaker 6 (01:33:07):
I didn't say I'm Lauren like Rosa. Yeah, well, we
don't even have it, he said.
Speaker 18 (01:33:13):
He basically saying he's, you know, trying to be the
voice of the culture through his music, so shout upside him.
Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
Don't have his name don't even have the song. But
I was gonna say, so he got two games because
he still has the tickets to the games that he
over over paid for though.
Speaker 18 (01:33:25):
Yeah, he still has those tickets, so he can go
to that if he wants to. But then he was
offered these as well. Yeah, well you know what it means.
Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
So it could be him, your two boyfriends and you.
That's crazy.
Speaker 18 (01:33:40):
No, I don't have to do that because I don't
have to. It's just a way to get out of things.
Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
I know, that's right.
Speaker 20 (01:33:45):
Ye.
Speaker 18 (01:33:46):
Now, in other news, speaking of Lebron, Stephen a Is
has some more choice words Lebron.
Speaker 4 (01:33:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (01:33:53):
Now okay, Now let me let me preface this with saying,
because people are coming at Steven a like he's just
on this oh I hate Lebron tour, people were asking
him questions and he's answering them. But also, prior to
this statement, you guys are about to hear him make
he talks about the fact that in his job he's
not a publicist for these celebrities. He reports on them,
and celebrities get upset, but he does his due diligence
(01:34:13):
to make sure that he don't.
Speaker 19 (01:34:14):
But he can't help it when they do.
Speaker 18 (01:34:16):
And that's what happened with Lebron, I said a listen
to Steven eight on seven PM in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
You get too Lebron. I don't like his not a
little bit. This dates back more than a decade. I
believe he's one way publicly, he's another way privately. The
things he says and the things he has said to people,
it's gotten back to me. If it were up to him,
I wouldn't be where I am today.
Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
The day that he rolled up.
Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
On me court side, it was the day my contract
was announced that I had stayed with ESPN. Go back
and look at the camera angles.
Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
How is it?
Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
We got one angle and the only angle you see
was of him in his face, but you see the
back of my peanut head.
Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Do you think you felt set up in that moment?
Speaker 1 (01:34:53):
They're right there right I did, because I go on
the air the next day and I'm like, that's a
dad reactor to his son.
Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
Happens on the th Thursday. That's a Friday, that's Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Richard Jefferson is doing the game in Boston still Mike,
he's working for ESPN, and we see Lebron say to him, yo,
man when he said as a fauther, I had it.
So I'm thinking, oh, that's not about Brony, that's about you.
Speaker 5 (01:35:19):
Hey, salute to Stephen A Smith for the wise man
from Queens with a peanut. Heead once said, we don't care. Okay,
somebody needs to send stephen a his own gift. I
am tired of hearing that story. I've heard that story
a million times on a million different podcasts.
Speaker 3 (01:35:33):
We don't care, but I guess he does all these
indus and they ask me. I'm a seven am in
Brooklyn listener.
Speaker 5 (01:35:41):
I haven't listened to this seven pm in Brooklyn listener,
but I haven't listened to that one yet.
Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
Sounds like he volunteered that one. Let's get to Lebron.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:35:49):
My point is, I.
Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
Don't care, Like we've heard this story, Like, how many
times have we heard the story this year?
Speaker 18 (01:35:55):
From today, just this week I've listened to I asked
you before we did it. I was like, are y'all
stephen A. Lebron exhausted?
Speaker 19 (01:36:01):
And you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (01:36:02):
Because I thought y'all would be because we've heard it
a lot. But I mean he also talked about you
know him and Carmelo had like a little hiccup at
one point, and he talked about that because he said
he reported a story. Didn't wait to hear back from Carmelo,
and Mellow called him and was like, why would you do? Like,
you know, he's he's talking about a bunch of things
in the interview on the Pivot episode.
Speaker 5 (01:36:19):
Yeah, but I just don't want to keep hearing the
same story over and I've heard the story about the
encounter between him and Lebron over and over and over
and over again. I don't know what the point what
am I supposed to do with this information? At this point,
I'm just saying, I just want to know.
Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
I just want to know. I just want to know.
Speaker 19 (01:36:36):
The first time you heard it, what are you supposed
to do with the information?
Speaker 5 (01:36:39):
The first time it was something you new, it was respect,
it was cool the first time.
Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
But then you hear over and over on every part, it's.
Speaker 7 (01:36:46):
Like, hey, okay, but all right, Well then that means
people need to start asking him about the same situation then,
I mean, because they see still got the same answer.
Speaker 5 (01:36:54):
Don't Yeah, I don't even know if he's being asked.
I don't know the context.
Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
You just jump out the window was like Lebron all right,
