he Jay, Good morning everybody? Do you The birds are chirping?

(01:04):
What happened to Atime Man? I don't know if he's
doing stuff. Yeah, he sent me a DM the other day.
I think as a movie or something. No, he's trying
to promote himself. Why would you say that time? Congrats
the hay time for being in the movie. I don't
know what the movie is, but Henley says he osther movies,
so congrats to him. Absolutely. I was on a little

(01:25):
late today. I don't know about your kids today, but
my kids have half day, and when they have half day,
we have a routine in the crib where I packed
the kids snacks every day. So I just assume they
got half day. They don't need no snacks. And my
wife was like, no, they need snacks. So I had
to jump back in the house pack up the snacks,
and as she was starting to get them ready and
had to get up out of there. So I'll just
to octitulate. Hey man, it's a game of inches in

(01:45):
the morning. The game, it really is the game of inches.
If you live you know a certain distance from the
radio station, if you're not at the house by a
certain time, you know whether you're gonna be on time,
where you're gonna be late. That's just the way the
game goes. It's like football. It's a game inches. Yo.
Then I had to choose if I was gonna put
the garbage out or not. That's rough. If I had
to put the garbage out out of it late, you

(02:07):
got to do that to night before. Even then you
got the animals. The animals like you know, the jump
in your garbage and your squirrels and tears and bears,
and you gotta do that. Put the lid on the
trash can. That don't work. The bears knocked that trash
can over. Squirrels are small as hell. You gotta do
it because squirrels too, especially where I live now, because
my driver is a little too far from the house.

(02:27):
So okay, talk that is talk, that is life is good.
Listen and speaking of life life after death. Siss to
Sister Soldier. The sequel to Cold Just Winnever is out,
not only the out, it's sold out everywhere. Is it that?
That's great? Amazon sold out everywhere. It won't be available
for another couple of weeks. But she's here with us

(02:48):
this morning. That's right. So we're gonna kick it with
Sister Soldier in a little bit, all right. A TNI
is a movie I'll call A Town the Movie Terrible. Now,
you don't go back to I'm going back to because
I was looking it up trying to see what he sent.
But yes, he has a movie called a Town the Movie.
So he's starting in his own movie. Congratulations. Yes, all right,
I was driving in today and I see that doctor

(03:09):
Oz save somebody. Yesterday, Doctor say someone. He was at
Newark Airport. I guess he was catching a flight and
the I guess a guy a couple of seats away
from him had a heart attack. Really yeah, so you know,
doctor Oz, that's what he does. He's a heart doctor. Um.
So doctor Oz jumped on his knees and started giving
the mouth to mouth and saying soundstage to me, stop

(03:34):
the doctor dos my guy. But come on, just you
conveniently was on a flight when somebody had a heart attack.
Doctor Aport didn't do that on the on the plane,
they'll be like, is there a doctor on the flag?
Is there a doctor on the flat? You wouldn't have
to ask that if doctor Os was there. You're looking
right at him, Doc, that's the air. But he was
at the air You've never been on the plane and
that's happened. Is there a doctor on the flag on
the plane with doctor the doctor that everybody knows? I mean,

(03:56):
come on, doctor, the doctor dre on the plane. You're
not gonna ask for the doctor. You're gonna be like, doc,
come on, come on, do something, come on dotgain. So
doctor Oz save save the gentleman's life. So congratulations doctor
Oz for a well timed publicity stunt. Dropping. Don't do that, man, doctor.
And if you're on a flight with doctor Oz, doctor
Oz likes to take pictures of you when you fall asleep,
like that's doctor Ozzins thing. Like I've been on a

(04:17):
couple of flights with doctor Oz and when I wake up,
when I get finally land, him and his wife are
usually laughing at me and they showing me pictures and
me sleeping, snoring, drool, And I'm like, come on, doctors,
grow up. At least they were on the flight with
you crying watching a movie that only happened once you stopping.
Doctor Dodd is a good guy though, he's a great guy.
I was actually talking to him last week about having
a panel to talk about why black people just trust

(04:40):
the vaccine? Would he participating if a panel like that,
I'm sure he would. Sure. Yeah, Yeah, that's doctor House.
He always shows up. All right, But let's get the
show cracking front page news what we're talking about. Well,
speaking of the vaccine, according to President Joe Biden, the
United States will have enough vaccines for every adult American.
Will tell you the timeline when that's going to happen.
All right, we'll get to that. Next is to breakfast

(05:02):
club commonis where were starting you Well, President Joe Biden
said yesterday the US will have enough COVID nineteen vaccine
doses for every adult American by the end of May.
Now that doesn't mean everybody's gonna get it by the
end of May. It does mean that they still have
to worry about distribution and personnela could take longer for
that to happen. But that's all thanks to a new

(05:22):
partnership between major US drug makers, So that will make
it on target, and that's progress. And he also wants
to make sure that teachers are also known now as
essential workers, so they should be well, they are essential workers,
but they also will be able to get the vaccine
ahead of other people. So it is some of these
screeches back open. Basically it was you see Texas well,

(05:44):
I mean, well, we'll get into that right now. Texas
a little different. Texas and Mississippi have lifted COVID restrictions
and mask mandates now. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said this
the number of active COVID cases is the lowest in
November and is less than half of what it was
just a month ago. Also, today is the lowest positivity

(06:05):
rate we've had in four months, we have been under
ten percent positivity rate for days. Now today we're now
under nine percent positivity rate in the stead of Texas.
But make no mistake, COVID has not like suddenly disappeared. Yeah,
and that's what I don't understand. If things are trending
in the right way in Texas is probably because of
the mandates and everybody doing what they're supposed to be doing,

(06:26):
So why stop it? Well, here's what else Governor Abbot
had to say. Effective next Wednesday, all businesses of any
type are allowed to open one hundred percent. Also, I
am ending the state wide mask mandate. Now, despite these changes,
remember this, removing state mandates does not end personal responsibility.

(06:50):
Canton make any things. We America has already proven that
we don't do well with personal responsibility. When you give
people a choice, they will make the wrong choice. So
sometimes you have to have demand dates in place so
people do what they have to do. Now, am I
reading this right? They say in Texas has two point
six million cases. Um, that's crazy, because if that's the case,

(07:14):
you know they're number two. California's number one with three
point five. Texas is two point six, then Florida one
point nine, the New York one point six, so they're
number two and they're like party, party, party, party, partners
all get wasted. Well, I'm not even mad at the
business is being open one hundred percent, but you know,
don't tell people that they don't have to wear a mask,
you know what I mean, even when you're in these businesses,
you should still social distance as much as possible. You

(07:34):
should still wear masks. And that goes back to my
original point. If they if they're trending the right way
right and take cases are going down, then why oh
why would you stop people from doing what they're supposed
to be doing. Bro, they're gonna have concerts that have shows,
and you're gonna be but I'm not gonna be in
the crowd and I'm gonna have all right. Well that

(07:57):
listening their restrictions as well. In Louisiana, businesses and restaurants
will be allowed to increase capacity to seventy five percent.
In Michigan and restaurants can open it to a fifty
percent capacity, which is up from twenty five percent on
March fifth, And in Kentucky, they said many businesses can
increase to sixty percent capacity. That includes barbershops, here, salons,
bars and restaurants, bowling atleas, fitness centers, movie theaters, and

(08:18):
government offices. Yeah, I don't mind if business is increasing,
but just everybody still wear your mask and social distance
when you're in these businesses as much as possible. Still
use your hand, sanitizing all that you can't. You can't
socially distance. When they're just gonna allow everybody in, it's
gonna be jam packed. And that's why restaurants are doing
fifty percent because they don't want to have the same
amount of tables and people send it right next to
each other. A little bit of the bars like you

(08:39):
can to take personal responsibility and don't go ina pack places,
that's all. And you don't have to be in a
pack place. But I'm just saying, if you're in a business,
even if it's an essential business, and there's a lot
of people that just social distance as best as you can.
If you're the drug store, the grocery stores, stay away
from people. Wear your mask. Just don't tell people not
to wear a mask. That's all I'm saying. All right,

(09:00):
that's your front page news. Yeah, and and I think
people should take the vaccine is it's my opinion. Your
family everybody can't take it right now though now everybody can't,
but you know, if you can, if you get the
opportunity to, I would, I would advise you do. That's
just my opinion. But anyway, get it off your chests.
Eight five eight five, one oh five one. If you
need to vent phone line to wide open, hit us

(09:20):
right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether your man, thank you from you on the Breakfast Club.
But you got something on your mind. Hello, who's this Jay? Jay?
What's up? Get it off your chests, bron Listen, man,

(09:42):
I'm from interesting to these folks. Been not wearing a mask, bro, Like,
it's ridiculous. It's no type of self, no self responsibility
anything like that. Man not down here. That's why you
got to have a mandate. I'm telling you. Americans just
aren't capable of taking a person to responsibility. Yes, and
without that mandate, it's just gon get worse. And the
fact that they made masks political, Like you know what

(10:03):
I'm saying, If you if you would, if you wear
a mask, you know you're a liberal. If you don't
wear a mask, you you're a conservative. It's just like
man who got time for I know people say like
Southern hospitality, but bro, at the end of the day,
this theater South. That's right. Here's some of the same
old rules out here. And like you said, it is
there for a little and you in the m I
crioko letter, crico letter, I crico letter, crikokleta. I humpbacks,

(10:23):
hump back. Hello, who's this up from Detroit? What up? Joe? What? Man?
I got a question I need to ask you. And
you I know you real heavy in the real estate
and I know she got property here. I'm about to
do something in the real estate field, and I need
to get the financing together. My credit score is wonderful

(10:46):
and all that, but I want to make sure I
make the right move because I don't want to hurt
my credit score. What you trying to do? Um, it's
on the line of of being breakfast, but it's a
little bit different. I don't really want to say exactly
because I don't need everybody in Detroit with I'm at
if you got the property ready you want to buy,
I'm about to go check it out. Well, go check

(11:06):
it out. Where you' getting the property for them it's
a wholesale or as a retail is retail okay, so
you're getting in that market value. I would look to
try to give a property that's under market value that
just so you have some wiggle room if something goes wrong,
if you need to fix it up, so you always
know that you are winning. You can check out. I
don't know what you're looking for, if you're looking for
a house, or if you're looking for a building, or
what you're looking for, but check out on auction dot

(11:28):
com and it helps you. Dot com they have a
lot of properties for wholesale prices cheaper than retail. Might
need a little bit of work, sometimes it doesn't, but
that way you have a little skin in the game.
So if something ever happens, you have a little equity
in your property so that you won't be hurting. So
let me, uh, what's the chilcohol that one of young
people like, I don't need no money or nothing. But
it ain't either one of those, and I don't really

(11:50):
want to say exactly what it is. So you don't
need money, you know the property, So what you need.
You're good right. Look, my goal I'm forty two. Our
goal is by time i'm fifty. My wife don't have
to work them moll. So I got a bunch of
small business ideas, but I need to do it strategically
so I can get everything done. And this is my
first step and it's a big one. I see. It

(12:10):
sounds like you need a business manager, not somebody that's
gonna help you. Um, hold on the line, let me
see if and if you have an account. And by
the way, there's these two sisters in detrait that opened
up a bed and breakfast. I don't know if you've
been there, m cochrane. Have you been there? Sisters Roderica
and Francina James. People say it's amazing. It's a luxury
bed and breakfast hotel. Have you been there? It's called

(12:32):

see what the process is. Go in, spend the night there.

who's this? All right? This is John? They get it

(15:05):
off your chess. Okay. So I'm a pharmacy student. I'm
working in the ICU currently. I see all the COVID
cases and I just hate when people are like, oh no,
the vaccine cautons infertility. I'm not getting that. Where did
you hear that? How where are you reading that? I
just get so angry when people are like reading the
wrong information and fronting it to their friends. Yeah, it's
just really annoying. I a lie. Somebody told me that yesterday.

(15:28):
Was like, you know, Vy, you got five kids. You
know I'm trying to have some kids, so I don't
know if I'm want to take the vaccine. I was like,
the vaccine it makes you infertile. I didn't know that,
but you know it didn't get that from NOD, get
that from the internet. Come on, right, conspiracy. We don't
know who's catching COVID will give you infertility, so better
not catch it. Yeah, well, Envy tech it, so he's

(15:48):
gonna keep this updated. When are you getting your second shot? Envy? Uh?
Two weeks I got two more weeks to get away
to throw the trash out again, the trash out again.
He'd be out. They're like a little goddamn animal. That's
not the truth. But yeah, I got my first shot.
I kind of just was, you know, waiting around a
pharmacy and nobody came for this shot and they couldn't

(16:10):
find an essential worker in time. So I kind of
got the last shot, which I'm not mad at. Wow,
that's awesome. I know Johnson. Johnson is rolling out in
New York now, so there's gonna be a lot more
employments available for people who like couldn't get it before.
So really one with that one, right, yep? Yeah, yeah.
And so even even that, people say, oh, the EFFICA
three is so low, but it's actually one hundred percent

(16:32):
prevention of death and long term, you know, getting those
rights long term. Right. We were just guys saying that
they were, yeah, you can still get it, but at
least you won't die bespitalized. And they were saying that
they might do a booster shot with that as well,
that they gotta they're gonna saw checking that out. Maybe
they'd do another shot, and that I'm making, you know,
make the rates go higher a little bit. So maybe

(16:53):
it might be two shots later on, but right now,
like they're saying, if you can get any shot, get
any shot exactly, and you know what, it's just gonna
save us in the long run. So I'm a proud
proponent of it, and I think it is important to
share with our family, you know, important information because sometimes
the wrong stuff gets in the wrong hands, and um,
misinformation will get people down the wrong cous No, that's

(17:15):
the Internet for you, all right, David, get it all.
Sister soldier too, man, make sure to let people know
sister Soldier joining us. Next hour, Yeah, next hour, sister
Soldier will be joining us. But get it off your chest.
Eight hundred five A five one on five one. We
got rooms on the way. And yes, so let's talk
about Chad Johnson ak Ocho Cinco. He broke down on
his episode of the I Am Athlete podcast, and we'll

(17:36):
tell you about that discussion about mental health. All right,
we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club, Go morning,
the breakfast Club. Listen, Oh gosh reports, it's the rule
of report. Breakfast Club. Well, and became in this morning

(17:59):
talking about doctor and had doctor save somebody's life. And
doctor As himself is talking about what happened at Newark
Airport after someone collapsed and flatlined. The flay had been delayed.
So I was with my wife and one of my daughters,
and I left the daughter with the luggage to go get,
you know, the stuff that was coming off the carousel,
and she about five seconds later yelled, daddy, daddy, come quick.

(18:20):
And when I turned them on, I realized what had happened.
He fairly early gentleman who ended up being sixty one
years of age, had collapsed, fallen on his face. There
was no pulse, and so the first thing you do
when there's no pulses you give the patient a pulse
by doing CPR. So, getting top of his chest, compressing
as hard as he could, woud ask Gary. He said,
the man had no pulse. He was turning a bad color.

(18:42):
He had foam coming out of his mouth when he
started doing CPR. And fortunately doctor Oz was able to
control his main his airway and the defibillerator arrived and
that's when they shocked him at the highest power possible.
And it works for dropping a clue bomb for doctor Odz.
I mean, you know that's That's that's divine timing, right,
like God will have you in the right place at
the right time, you know, in the right situation sometimes,

(19:05):
you know, to help people. Oh yeah, and I hate
that the Internet has made me a cynical even even
think that this could be a publicity stunt. Well, I mean,
I'm looking. I'm looking to see when it's sweep weeks,
and I hate that the world has made me that way.
I hate it. It's horrible, all right. Elon must says

(19:27):
he wants to create a city in Texas and he
wants to call it star Base. Uh so, oh, no,
space base. I'm sorry. Why does this say star base here? So?
Oh it is? It is star based, Okay, So creating
the city at Star Based Texas is what he wrote
from thence to Mars and hence the stars. So he's
kept those details to a minimum. But he wants to,

(19:47):
according to reports, incorporate Boca Chica Village, a small Texas
town where space X is building their deep space rocket,
and make it that and he got the paper to
do it. He definitely does. Going to build your town,
going to build white He's doing a lot though I
ain't got he trying to do stuff at Mars based
Star Base. Yeah, shot at him, Well would you? But um,

(20:08):
I don't talk about that later stock all right. Takashi
six nine is being sued for unpaid security bills totally
more than seventy five thousand dollars. So apparently he had
all the protection and that was in late twenty eighteen
before he got locked up, but he didn't pay those
people from before he went to jail, and now he's
being sued. Yeah. I mean, if you're him, you have

(20:28):
to keep up with that bill. Absolutely, That's what you
don't want to be late. That's like life insurance, that's
like that's like that's like regular people throwing their middle
finger to the irs, like I ain't paying y'all. Okay,
I'll show you who's Boston. Yeah. So they had around
the clock security for him. They said it was eighty
five dollars an hour during the day and at night
it was one hundred and twenty seven dollars and fifty
cents an hour. I mean, that's another reason you got

(20:49):
to keep that money going, right, because when the money
gets low and you know, you somebody like him, if
that security goes away, boy, you food, Well you started
seeing a little bit. I don't know if you remember.
At first used to have like in twelve security guards.
Now I think it's like four or five. But I
just wish in the well, I wishing the best. I
hope nobody hurts that long. And I wonder how many
insured security companies will you know, protect somebody like that,

(21:10):
because he seems to incite things often, you know what
I mean, That's not what security is. Full securities for defense,
not offense. Well, according to Takashi's lawyer Lance lazarro, he said,
Takashi's booking agency at the time is responsible for covering
the tab and that that should really be going to
them and not to Takashi. He has nothing to do
with it all right. Chad Johnson he broke down over

(21:33):
losing his mother on his I Am Athlete podcast. He
was talking to Brandon Marshall, Channing Crowder and UNC Fred Taylor,
and in this episode he talks about the importance of
having conversations about mental health. That's what Brandon Marshall was
really discussing. And here's what he's had to say about
that time of his life. One of my lowest moments

(21:53):
happened No. Two to three weeks ago when I got
that call, Yo, you need to come by. And I
knew there was a problem because I got a call
from an immediate family member, but you normally don't call me,
and they called from three other people. Wait, how do
you even get my number when my number change in December?
So I knew it was an issue, and I called
my brother right away and he answered the phone crying.
I just hung up or new what time it was,

(22:15):
and so then I mentally prepared myself to bear my
whole girl. Damn man, send a healing energy to Chad
Ochual single. Yeah, sadly, that's something we all probably going
have to do one day. He also talks about their
final interaction and said that she was upset with him
for not going out to dinner with his family for
his birthday with him for going out to dinner with

(22:36):
his family for his birthday and for not inviting her
to that dinner, And she had sent him a lot
of text messages and he said she was letting him
have it, so it kind of hurt him too. That
was the last exchange that they had. It wasn't like
I love you or anything like that, and so that
bothered him as well. And then when they asked him
on a scale of one to ten, where are you
and here, and he said he was at a seven.

(22:56):
Here's what he said. That train has to keep moving.
So if I'm at a read, I'm flatline. I can't flatline.
There's no time to flatline. I have time to grieve.
I've done my grieving and I will continue to grieve
over and over. I will continue to cry over and over.
But that train has to keep going. So I'm out
of seven or the train doesn't have to keep going,

(23:17):
like you don't have to keep it moving, Like it's
perfectly fine to stop and be still and you know,
give yourself a chance to grieve. You know, business is
a trauma response. You know, there's plenty therapists and psychiatrists
to tell you that, Like the tendency to keep it
moving after experiencing something traumatic isn't isn't always productive. Maybe
that's his way of getting over it though, Yeah, but
it's nine times out of tendance to trauma response. All right,

(23:39):
Well that is your room report, and salute the Brandon
Marshall too man mental health warrior. You know, everybody at
a project three seventy five man fighting to eliminate, to
eradicate the stigma mental health in our community. Man, drop
on a clues BOXX for Brandon Marshall. That's my guy. Yeah,
shout the Brandon Marshall. He actually sent me a box
for all you guys. But since he said, this is
my crib, y'all all got dead. It gonna stop stealing

(24:01):
everybody's stuff. Man. Yeah, shout to Tom Mopkins too. He
sent me a starter jacket for you two yet, but
you got debt. It said, why did y'all let Envy
back in the building on it? And wasn't Envy locked
out downstairs? Yeah? We're locking him out after this weekend. Yeah,
lock him out because he's going to Atlanta for all.
Started going back down to Atlanta for a real estate seminar.

(24:23):
So we don't I don't want to see him for
thirty days. Thirty gotta be third. What you're gonna do
for thirty days without me? The same thing I've been
doing living my life. We got front pass next, what
we're talking about? Yes, well, let's talk about it. I mean, look,
Envy is but you did get the vaccine, so we'll
discuss what's going on with the vaccine because apparently soon

(24:46):
enough we'll all be able to get it. All right,
we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the
breakfast Club goal barter. The last thing you worried about
is Doctor SEUs books and what's going on in Doctor
SEUs books. Okay, and by the way, it's only six
out of all the books that he has out. It's
not like they're canceling all Doctor SEUs books. That hood
are you wearing right now? And you can make you
a target? Right? Oh yeah, because I'm wearing blow No,
because it's a hoodie. Some people may look at it

(25:11):
like that, but I'm just saying it's a hoodie, so
people look at that and your target. I'm saying this.
I'm just tired of all of this symbiolic change, Like
when is some real systemic change going going to happen?
Like I'm not applauding this, like okay, all right, So
you want to let these things go and just worry
about big, bigger things yea, not okay? Yeah, So statues
can stay up. I want to do them all. I
think you can do both. That's what I want. I

(25:33):
think it all matters. Statues definitely should coming down. I mean,
but doctor syst did let me ask you question you
were you did you ever think about Doctor SEUs books
being racist before you have today. I'm gonna be honest.
I know like two Doctor SEUs books only Cat in
the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. I didn't read
all these books, That's my point. Yeah, but I think
they can take it all down, take the statues, take
the book sell off, take the cart to hibs out,

(25:55):
take it all out. I just want I want real
systemic change. I don't see how anybody can argue against that.
That's all I'm saying. The symbolism stuff is cool too,
but I want real systemic change. Yeah, we're not arguing
against that. I'm saying you could do both. Still. All right,
well that is your front page news. All right. Well,
when we come back, Sister Soldier will be joining us.
She has a new book, Life After Death. Yes, the

(26:16):
sequel to the Coldest Whenever twenty years later. That's right.
So we're gonna talk with Sister Soldier when we come
back to Don't Move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning,
the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is j N v Angela yee, Charlomagne.
The guy, we are the Breakfast Club. You got a
special guest on the line. We have sister Soldier on
the line. Good morning, peace, and thank you for welcome

(26:40):
me me to the Breakfast Club. I really appreciate it.
How are you. I'm pretty good. I've been having what
I call a moment of silence. The last book that
I wrote was called A Moment of Silence Midnight three,
And in the opening poem, I thought that I wrote that,
I thought that everybody needed more than a moment of silence,

(27:03):
maybe even a whole year to self reflect and to
self correct because of the direction that you know, things
seem to be moving, and not just for myself, but
you know, for the whole country. Yeah, I wonder about
people like you are so brilliant, you know when they
when they write, and it's like when the pandemic happened
and everybody was at home, did you triple down on writing?

(27:26):
I know you was already you know in writing Molde.
Did you write even more? No? I just thought it
was really interesting because all of a sudden everybody had
to live like me when people were upset about quarantining.
But my life is like that anyway. I mean, I
do normal everyday things. I go to the market, I shop,

(27:46):
I cook, I do the laundry. I do normal everyday things.
But in terms of writing or trying to be a
meaningful author, you spend most of your time researching, eating, interviewing,
things like that. So I'd always be either indoors or

(28:07):
in bookstores or in meetings interviewing people anyway, So when
the quarantine came, it was an easy shift for me
to make. Now, how did you do research? Of course,
you know, The Coldest One to Ever to me is
like and to a lot of people, is a classic book.
It's like Shakespeare level when it comes to writing and

(28:28):
all of that. For a lot of people, even when
did that come out in nineteen ninety nine, even today,
Oh thank you so for yourself, Right, how did you
research a character like that? And then even for the
new novel that you have, how did you do research
for her character? Well, for the Coldest One to Ever,

(28:51):
I didn't have to do research. I mean, the bottom
line is, you either grew up in the hood or
you didn't. And for the first part of my life,
I grew up in the Bronx. First I was on
Crow's Avenue in the house, and my parents divorced, and
I was in the projects in Throg's Neck, So you've

(29:13):
seen so many things when you're living there if you're
the type of person who's observing, and that's how I am.
Kind of observing and very quiet, although people may not
believe that, and study a lot. And so when I
went to write The Cod thats whenever I wanted to

(29:35):
write a cautionary tale against drugs, because when I was
growing up in the Bronx, you know, it was the
heroine epidemic, and the drugs hit the hoods so hard,
and I was a child, I was very fearful of it.
So when I became an adult, I said, let me
write a novel that gives people caution about the whole

(29:59):
drug death down. And then when I said that to myself,
I said, well, you don't know any big hustlers, and
you know you don't know that life, so how can
you write about it? And what do you know about?
And this is me talking to myself, and I said,
I know about women. I said, I know what I'll do.
I'll write about the hustler's daughter, and she's gonna be cold.

(30:23):
She's gonna be cold bloody and then I said, oh,
cold bloody, I'm gonna name a Winter. And then I said, well,
she gotta be in love with somebody, because you know,
when we're teenagers, normally us women, we have some god
and we're fixated on And I said he's gonna be tall, dog, handsome,
and I was like dog dog. Then I said Midnight.

(30:47):
I said that said, I'm gonna name how Winter. I'm
gonna name him Midnight, and I'm gonna name the book
the Coldest Winter, and then my husband. Then my husband said, no,
the Coldest Winter, and that was it. Well, how we
get here and why? Twenty years later the sequel, The
Coldest Whenever Life After Death. What took so long? Oh,

(31:09):
because at the end of Coldest Whenever I went to
get sentenced to fifteen years. I thought it was important
that if it was going to be a genuine caution
of retail, I thought it was very important for the
whole hood to feel the absence of Went to Santiago.
And I thought it would be really big when Went

(31:31):
to Santiago got released fifteen years later, so I kind
of let it reverberate while I wrote other books on
other characters that are Day Night Whenever, Yes, Midnight, did
you feel any pressure since Cold This When Ever was
such a you know, a staple in Black literature, and

(31:51):
it was so big and massive. Did you feel any
pressure with the sequel? No, I'm I'm I'm a cool vibration,
meaning that I don't really get pressed by you know,
the readers or the public or anything. Everything that I
do I'm doing for a purpose. So I'm doing it
for a reason. I wanted to be meaningful. And if

(32:15):
I was the kind of author that did what the
readers expected or what the public expected, then that would
lessen my value because if you can anticipate or expect,
I'm what I'm going to write, then you could have
wrote it yourself. What's supposed to make me special as
an author is I'm writing something so dynamic you couldn't

(32:40):
have thought of it yourself, or at least you getn't
up until the moment of the release. I want to
talk about Midnight's character from not from this book, but previously,
and his interracial relationship. What are your thoughts on interracial
relationships and not even just interracial but just huge cultural differences. Well,
to be honest with you, I think it's all about

(33:02):
the soul. I think the reason why it's an issue
for African American women and men is a political reason,
but it's a different reason than emotion, love and soul.
The political reason is because I think as African American people,
we have felt all the time, especially women, that they're

(33:26):
not enough men. That so many of our men are
incarcerated or under court supervision or having economic difficulties. So
we have felt that there's not enough men, and so
we get angry when somebody from another community marries one

(33:49):
of our men. And then also I think, to keep
it real as African American women, we want to sometime
do our men love us? Do they think that we
are beautiful? Do they love us if we have the
same complexion that they do, you know? Or is it
automatically that they want to find somebody based on them

(34:11):
being of a lighter complexion or a lighter complexion. So
now I think it's about the soul. Two people to
come in together for the soul, and it's about the
belief the faith. Do they believe in the same things.
Can they make a family that has loved and harmony
that's balanced, you know, that raises the children? Well, I

(34:34):
think those are the dominant issues, all right, we got
more with Sister Soldier. When we come back, don't move.
It's to breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast
Club was still kicking it with Sister Soldier. We'll give
you your inspiration to continue to go on, Like, where
do you what inspires you? Since you inspire so many people,

(34:55):
you know, I just wanna be good. I want to
be good. I want my soul to be good. I
care about what happens to my soul after it returns,
meaning after I pass away from this earth. I don't
believe it's the end of life once you, if you

(35:18):
leave the earth, I believe your soul lives on and
so and that there's judgment. I know we're live in
a time where the young people don't want to believe
in judgment or they hate judges, and they hate judgment.
My thing is, I'm not the judge, but there is
a judge. And so, since I know that there is

(35:41):
a judge for my own soul and I'm only responsible
for my own soul, for my own soul, I want
to do the right thing. So I can end up
in the right place when my soul leads the earth.
Now you know that that's one of the reasons what
you just said about, you know, people not wanting to
be judged. That's one of the reasons I always love
cold as whenever because there was a real consequence to

(36:04):
win his actions. You know what I mean, Because a
lot of times you see these stories and there's no
real consequences and repercussions. And I've seen that trickle in
the real life. Now, these kids really don't think there's
no consequences of the repercussions of the action. I think
the discussions that we have a lot of times we
don't have a common link with scholarship. You know, people

(36:26):
who have studied not for the sake of being arrogant
or being superior to the hood, but for the sake
of helping. For example, we had this whole big dialogue
going about snitching and whether somebody is a rat or human,
you know, civilian or you know, all of this big dialogue.

(36:46):
And when I'm seeing this dialogue, I'm saying, wow. You know,
in science class when I was young, they taught me
that self preservation is the first law of nature. That
means if somebody is back is up against the wall,
their natural inclination will be to save themselves. Right now,

(37:07):
I'm not saying this to say, oh, I support Tennitching.
I'm saying this to say that if you study and
you learn some things, you won't all the time be
shocked by what people do. There's an old saying there's
no honor among thieves, right, so how come when there's

(37:28):
a ring of thieves or a ring of crime, people
expect that to be honor. That's right? Can you blame
people for what they're they're what they're doing when they're
just trying to survive. It's not about blame. I think
what it is is that we all have been given
a mind and a soul. But your mind, you know,
is like a car. If you don't put gas in

(37:51):
the car, the car won't move. If you don't put
knowledge into your mind, your mind won't manufacture good options
and you won't know how to grab onto positive opportunities.
You have to be concerned about your own longevity. So

(38:12):
I want to set you. I remember a few years
ago you had done an interview where you said you
don't really watch reality shows, and one of the things
that Winter was on is you know, she's planning to
get out and do a reality show. So what are
your thoughts on reality shows today? Is there anything that
you do like? Well, here's the deal. I watched reality
shows up until a point, but I just felt myself

(38:35):
getting so sad about the state of our community and
the state of our people on the shows. So I
think from the beginning of the introduction of the reality shows,
we've been very challenged about definitions, to the point where
young people don't even like definitions anymore. So if I say, okay,

(38:56):
let's discuss manhood, let's discuss womanhood, we have to have
a twenty four hour debate about why we should not
say the word man and should not say the word woman.
And that used to be something that happened back in
the day with identity and the fact that we can't

(39:19):
even agree on the definitions, that means that we can't
even communicate that's right, So we don't If we don't
know the definition of man or the woman like, and
we don't know the definition of marriage, and we don't
know the definition of husband and wife, that means that
you could be marrying somebody who actually doesn't know what

(39:40):
he or she is supposed to do. But what we
learn where do we learn this? And that's that's part
of the problem. Like you can't go to the barbershop
and you have a conversation about what love is. I mean,
you could talk about Lebron James at the barbershop, but
you know you're having a conversation about, you know, what
a man should do, marriage, what love is, or how

(40:03):
to raise your child. Like we don't have those conversations
per se, right, And what our community has to look
at is that in other communities, those are the things
that make up their culture. So in another community, for example,
they might have a faith, and from the faith comes
the rules. The rules established the order and define how

(40:27):
things should go. But in our community, we don't have
a consensus about almost anything. And then even in the
larger American community, we don't have a consensus because America
pushes rugged individualism. That's why when COVID hit there was

(40:48):
a big argument, No, is it patriotic to put on
a face mask? No, it's not patriotic, it's my right
not to put it on. And then there's this big dialog.
As a result, so much time passed without Americans being
able to agree. So many things happen nobody could integrate

(41:10):
into the conversation that this is about science. This is
about a virus that happens in a particular way, and
if you don't adopt these protective procedures, we are at
We're going to have a collective emergency, even though we're
a collection of rugged individuals, you know. To add on

(41:34):
the what envy saying to another reason that you know
it's hard for us to discuss love and our community
is because of the examples we've seen, you know what
I mean, like like, yeah, my father loved my mother,
but it was toxic. You know what I'm saying. It's
like we don't see too many good examples of healthy

(41:55):
love and healthy relationships. Right, You're right. I mean you're
one hundred percent and that goes for all of us.
Every family is going to experience different kinds of things.
But the fundamental things is what is causing the crisis
in the community of the African American people. Where do
we go to learn it? I don't know because I

(42:17):
feel like as one of the people in hip hop
who dedicated myself to study who you know, went to
college and graduated. Who loves books more than you know
any other material thing. I didn't feel even the love
in hip hop, the welcome in hip hop that I

(42:38):
think I should have felt. I was there to be
from from young age. I was there to be helpful.
That was always my agenda, saying the children saved, the mothers,
save the fathers. You know, let's build camps, let's build schools,
let's re relearn the things that we should know in

(43:00):
to keep our community cohesive and in order to survive.
And that conversation led to my being an outsider because people,
quite frankly, didn't want to hear it, didn't want to change,
didn't want to strive, and as a result, it went
on for so long that we haven't corrected ourselves. Now

(43:23):
we have a young generation who doesn't like criticism. Okay,
so you don't like judgment, you don't want to study,
you don't like anything historical because you think is old,
and you don't like criticism. How will you become a
better person day by day? How were you learned? All right?

(43:45):
We got more with Sister Soldier. When we come back,
don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning, CJ. Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club
was still kicking it with Sister Soldier. What do you
think about the cancel culture part where you almost can't learn,
you can't do anything wrong because it stays with you.
But someone's like, you're not allowed to make a mistake,

(44:06):
You're not allowed to grow, you're not allowed to evolve. Yeah, actually,
some of the people that keep using this word toxic
are the most toxic. All of the things that I
learned seem like everybody thinks they are irrelevant. Now, free
speech was part of the Constitution, but now it's not

(44:28):
free speech. It's politically correct speech or make me feel
comfortable speech, And if you don't, I'm going to threaten
your financial existence and cancel you and your whole family. Right,
that's not free speech. And we were taught when we
studied the Constitution of the United States of America that
your free speech goes up to the limit of you

(44:51):
yelling fire in a proudy movie theater, meaning you can
speak freely as long as you are not setting off
of chaotic, illegal situation. And so that was the limit.
But now that's not it. It could just be some
simple thing you said, or some simple thing you read

(45:15):
that you spoke about, or you know, you said how
you sold about the vaccine, or you said about or whatever,
how you feel about anything, and you can have your
whole career ruined because of it. That's right. I want
to go back to the book for a second. You
got Nia Long to be the voice of winner for
the for the audiobook. Did you pick on yourself or
did you have as I picked Nia because the book

(45:39):
company sent me fifteen names of people who could read
the audio version of Life After Death. And I'm an
audio book fan, so I buy audio books so I
know off the top as soon as I hear the voice.
If the voice is not right for me, I shut
the book off. I don't even here about the story

(46:01):
if the voice is not right when the audiobook, So
they sent me fifteen names, and some of the people
on the list that they gave had won Grammys and
all kinds of awards and accolades, and I was like,
but for the cold this whenever this list is irrelevant,
It has to be somebody that the hood loves it.
It has to be somebody that the hood loves it.

(46:22):
Has to be somebody that the men and the women
loves somebody whose voice is soothing and sultry, somebody who's
considered beautiful, somebody who's considered soft enough and cool enough,
you know, not a pushover, but you know still sweet
knee along to me fit that description. That's amazing. I

(46:45):
will say those Sola, you do have that sultry voice. Also, yeah,
thank you very much. But you know what, I knew
that I would not be the voice reading The Coldest
Went To Ever or Life After Death novel because I
want to keep my voice, the Sister Soldier voice distinct

(47:07):
from the Winter Santiago voice. I don't think those two
voices can really mix. And not only that. When I
think of anything for Winter, I think what would win
to want? Winter wouldn't let me read her. She knows
what she wants. She knows what she wants, and she
would be like you know, she would approve of Nia,

(47:30):
but she wouldn't approve of other folks. So I'm happy
that NA agreed. Do you listen to any of the
women in hip hop today? Like, are there any of
these artists that are out now that you're like? Okay?
I like, you know, City Girls or Vegan Stallion. Well,
I have nieces. My sisters all have daughters, a lot

(47:51):
of daughters. And because I have nieces, that is what
introduces me to the young women of him. So I
like um and York. Not gonna believe this, but I
like young and May. Yeah, I like her Um. But

(48:12):
we've been to like who would probably party by? Yeah?
I think I think you would really like Rhapsody since
the Soldier Rhapsody. I'll have to check. I'll have to
check her out now. She's from North Carolina. I think
you would really, really really dig and she's a She's

(48:34):
a huge, huge fan of the Coldest One album. Is
that right? I think she's the best rapper out period. True,
she gets busy. Did they know who her aunt is?
Did they know her? How how big her aunt is
and what her aunt has done to for our culture?
My niece as well. My nieces and I are very close.

(48:56):
They make me feel like I don't miss the fact
that I don't have a daughter and that I have
a son. And the reason why is because they we
you know, all of my travels across the country and
across the world, usually my nieces come with me and
they're very challenging to me because they don't listen to

(49:17):
anything that I say. So they're like the public. You know,
they're very challenging to me. But by being in contact
with them all of the time, I'm able to feel
the post of the young generation and know what's going on.
You know, I know you. Your fictional stuff is so great,

(49:38):
you know cold just want to ever the sequel that's
out right now, Life After Death Midnight. But you did
write a memoir in ninety four, no disrespect. I don't
know what you would call it now, but you know
you're you're you're grown a lot more years. Have you
ever thought about pinning something like that? Again? Yes, the
memoir is not my autobiography, So I want to write

(50:01):
the order biography of Sister Soldier. I think it's important
for people that are in the public eye to write
their auto biographies, including all of you, you know, Charlotte
Man and Angela yea, And we write your autobiography because
after after you are no longer here, all kinds of
people will come saying all kinds of things that are

(50:24):
not true, and you can't dispute it, you can't debate it.
And if you haven't left a matter of record, of
your life. Then you cannot be memorialized properly or remembered properly,
and that's so important, you know. Well, make sure you

(50:45):
pick up this book right here, that's right, Life after
Death to Sequel to Cold its one ever. Sister Soldier,
you are a treasure man. You know, we we we
you know. During Black History Month we honor different Black
History Month legends, and we honored you last month. So
we really do appreciate you and all your contributions to
the coach. Absolutely well. I want to say, Charlotte man,

(51:05):
I like your your self correction. I've seen your growth
and and and I'm very happy. Thank you so much,
thank you, thank you much. Because when we're young and
something else, we are something else. Al thank you so much,

(51:28):
thank you, thank you. No, I'm so excited for this book.
I've been waiting for this for decades, so I'm really
happy in here. So for everybody, make sure you pick
it up Life after Death. Thank you so much, and
in stores now. Thank you so much, Sister Soldier. It's
the Breakfast Club. Come on. This is the rule of
reports with Angela yet well you all know the jay

(51:56):
Z recently did that deal where he sold half of
the stake in ASA Spacee to LBMH Louis Vatama wet Hennessee.
So Forbes is valuing the deal at about six hundred
and thirty million dollars, which means that jay Z would
get about three hundred and fifteen million in that deal.
Sounds like good business to me. And you still own
fifty percent of you now, and now you have a

(52:18):
bigger distributor, the biggest, biggest champaign distributed in the world
Rome on Man, all right. So Forbes also when this
article talked about other celebrity deals that have been done
in the past five years, like George Clooney, Diagio purchased
his to Kill a company Costami Goes back in twenty seventeen.
That transaction valued the company at up to one billion dollars,
including seven hundred million up front and another three hundred

(52:40):
million based on performance over the following ten years. So
what did George Clooney end up getting two hundred million
dollars pre tax? That's why he was a top paid
actor of twenty eighteen because of that deal. Kylie Jenner
with her Kylie Cosmetics, she ended up giving away a
fifty one percent stake of the brand back in January
of twenty two money. She ended up getting five hundred

(53:02):
and forty million dollars pre tax, and she still has
forty four point one percent stake in the company. Are
the jails Rihanna? Of course? You know Rihanna did a
deal with LVMH and she did that makeup brand with them,
and they said she owns fifty percent. Well, she said
that lvma's owns fifty percent, She owns fifteen percent. That
fifteen percent is about four hundred and fifty million dollars

(53:24):
of the three billion dollar brands. I love it, and
I just wanted to you, to all you people that
I've seen you guys talking a lot. O does she
only owns fifteen percent? Oh my god, fifteen percent of
a four billion dollar company? You digital d hesh? My goodness,
could you? And that's just the makeup. By the way,
she also has her fashion house fenty, which is also

(53:45):
a joint venture with LVMH. And she also of course
has her lingerie line her. The crazy part that everybody
runs around celebrating owning one hundred percent and nothing, when
when all of these people who actually have big businesses
that are making billion, one hundred million dollars, none of
them one persons percentage. They're all working together. That makes

(54:05):
something huge. So when they have these big sales, they
end up with numbers like this, give me a one
percent of a four billion? Come on, man. Now Kanye
has a more complicated deal with Adidas with Yeasy, and
they said that he gets a royalty of approximately eleven
percent of Yeasy revenue, and based on revenues of one
point three billion dollars in twenty nineteen, they said he
likely got about one hundred and forty million dollars in royalties.

(54:29):
He only has how much eleven percent? First of all,
don't say no, so it says no, no, no, it's
a different no no, no, it's I was trying to say.
It's a more complicated deal to profit sharing agreements. So
he owns his brand Yeasy, but Adidas handles the production, marketing,
and distribution, so he gets a royalty from that. Okay,
all right, that that makes sense because he created, he started,

(54:49):
he founded, he built, he put that together, and he
went against all those companies because he wanted to keep ownership.
That's how I was bugging when you said eleven percent.
But it's more to that he still has ownership though,
ye right now now, Big Sean says that he contemplated
suicide many times and even had a gun in his hand.
He was doing an interview for Facebook Watch, and here's

(55:09):
what he said. Sometimes it takes more than a song.
Sometimes it takes more than an album. Sometimes it takes
you really spending time with yourself. And that's one of
the things I was neglecting. That was my mentality, was
taking care of everybody else and trying not to look soft.
So I'm working, exhausting myself for years and years and years,
and I couldn't get through the day, you know, without

(55:30):
without feeling terrible. I couldn't. I was sure contemplating suicide
a lot of times, you know, having guns in my hands,
you know, and just really just you know, feeling it
for real. Totally get it all right, loving light of
course to Big Sean, Yeah, I love it. I mean,
all these black men having conversations about their mental health,

(55:50):
all these black men having conversations about self care, all
these black men, you know, being vulnerable, talking about doing
the work on themselves to deal with their traumas. I
love it. Dropping a clue Bump for Big Sean Investing
Mental Wealth. Okay, all right, and Ti is not returning
for aunt Man three. Marvel Studios upcoming aunt Man and
the Wasp Quantum Quantum Mania. Now they are saying they're

(56:12):
not sure why. It's unclear if it's related to the
recent accusation accusations against him, but he will not be
returning for aunt Man three. Yeah, he was never supposed
to be in there Man three though, because if you
know anything about the Marvel universe, they are going to
the space. They're going to space, They're going to the Cosmos. Now, okay,
they're playing in the quantum realm and the multiverses. I
don't think t if fitts into that equation. All right,

(56:35):
Well that is your rumor report. All right, thank you,
mischie Charlomage, who're giving a donka two. Well, after the hour,
let's talk about America being a businessman. I need a
Greg Abbott. Okay, Governor Texas and Governor Tate Reeves Mississippi
to come to the front of the congregation. We like
to have a word with him police. All right, we'll
get to that next. It's the breakfast clubal Boat. It's

(56:56):
time for donkey of the day Chagne kind of Democrat.
So being dunkey of the day is a little bit
of a mix, like a don't day. Now, I've been
called a lot in my twenty three years, Like donkey
of the day is a new wife. Well, Donkey of
the Day for Wednesday in March. Third goes to textingist

(57:18):
Governor Greg Abbott and Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, respectfully, are disrespectfully.
I don't know how people take these things, but I
don't care because my true concern at the end of
the day is always about the people. I mean, someone
has to care about the people. Okay, because it's fair
to say that most government officials don't see Greg Abbott, uh,
you know, and and and and don't and Tate Reeves.

(57:40):
Government officials like Greg Abba and Tate Reeves don't care
because they announced yesterday that they are rescinding the statewide
and countywide mass man dates and they are allowing businesses
to reopen at one hundred percent capacity. Okay, now, these
are announcements came shortly after CDC Director doctor Roschulwilinsky warren
state officials against lifting rescriptions too quickly. Let's give this

(58:00):
more context, Let's go to CNBC News with Shepherd Smith
for the report police the mad rush to reopen is on.
States are lifting restrictions, some dramatically, some completely, even as
health experts warn do not do that. The governor of
Texas announced his state will get back to normal next week.
The governor of the second most populated state in the

(58:21):
nation admits that COVID has not suddenly disappeared, but he
says as more Texans gets vaccinated, the state is ready
to reopen. Then there's the governor of Mississippi rolling back
restrictions there as well. Starting tomorrow, Tate Reeves says the
state of Mississippi will lift all county mask mandates and
allow businesses to open at full capacity. He says the

(58:44):
move come as hospitalizations statewide of plummeted and cases have
dramatically declined. Public health officials have been warning the country
could be headed for a fourth wave of COVID if
precautions are lifted too soon. When did the first one
in You can't just get back to normal when things
are normal? What is normal? Exactly? Would you like to
hear what Governor Greg Habit had said? Habit Greg Abbot

(59:06):
had to say, let's listen. Too many Texans peppin sideline
from employment opportunities. Too many small business owners have struggled
to pay their bills. This must end effective next Wednesday.
All businesses of any type are allowed to open one

(59:27):
hundred percent. Also, I am ending the state wide mask mandate. Now,
despite these changes, remember this, Removing state mandates does not
end personal responsibility. You see how you kept referencing businesses.
Forget people dying and being sick. It's about the business, Okay,
remember that the business. Now, let's listen to the governor

(59:48):
Tate Reeves in Mississippi. What do you have to say?
This new order removes all of our county mass mandates
and allows businesses to operate at full capacity without state
imposed rules or restrictions. If businesses or individuals decide to
take additional precautions, they are absolutely within their rights. Business, business, business.

(01:00:11):
What surprises y'all about this? I'm just curious. I mean,
I'm giving them donkey today because donkey to day is
all about giving people to credit they deserve for being stupid.
But y'all can't be surprised, right, I mean, I'm not surprised.
We live in a country that cares about profits more
than people. Let's be clear, this is all about the
economies of these states, nothing more than nothing less. And
America has consistently shown us since the beginning of time

(01:00:34):
that cash rules everything around America. Okay, which is nuts
to me, because it should be consumers rule everything around America,
because that cash doesn't spend itself. If everybody is sick
and dead, how are you gonna get their dad presidents?
How are you gonna get their dad presidents? If everybody did. Now?
Governor Abbatt spoke on cases going down in Texas. Let's listen.
The number of active COVID cases is the lowest sence November,

(01:00:55):
and there's less than half of what it was just
a month ago. Also, today is the lowest positivity rate
we've had in four months. We have been under ten
percent positivity rate per days. Now today we're held under
nine percent positivity rate in the stead of Texas. But
make no mistake, COVID has not like suddenly disappeared. I

(01:01:17):
guess I'm the stupid one. Like I tell y'all all
the time, I'm not the highest grade of weed in
the dispensary. No, I might have scrung this avenger. But
if active COVID cases are going down, if the positivity
rates of COVID or low, why stop doing the things
that got us there? Now? If I'm attempting to get
in shape and I started going to the gym, if
I started dieting after a few months of doing that,

(01:01:40):
I'm not gonna stop working out and eating right when
I start to see results. Okay, the results let me
know I'm on the right path. So I'm gonna keep
going until I reach my ultimate goal. But hey, that's
just me. I won't resort back to eating terribly and
not working out because I lost five or ten pounds,
especially if my goal is saved forty now. I mentioned

(01:02:01):
doctor Rochelle will Lyinsky, director of the CDC, earlier. Let's
listen to what she had to say. The latest CDC
data continue to suggest that recent declines and cases have
leveled off at a very high number. The most recent
seven day average of cases represents an increase of a
little over two percent compared to the prior seven days. Similarly,

(01:02:22):
the most recent seven day average of deaths has also
increased more than two percent from the previous seven days.
At this level of cases with variant spreading, we stand
to completely lose the hard earned ground we have gained.
Now is not the time to relax the critical safeguards
that we know can stop the spread of COVID nineteen

(01:02:42):
in our communities. See Rochelle cares about people. Okay, she
cares about folks actually getting sick, folks dying. I heard
nothing about business and what she said. Okay. Everything she
just said is about wanting to keep people healthy. I've
been telling y'all this since the beginning of the pandemic.
It is so much information out there. I don't know
what true. I don't know what's not true. I just
know with my eyes and ears. Okay, the things that

(01:03:04):
I have seen and heard, the things that i've seen
working are wearing a mask, social distancing, washing your hands.
That's what I've been doing for the past year, and
it's worked for me. Okay, So why stop now? All right?
Self preservation people a basic human instinct. This country, America
will never put the people first. Okay. They need to
change it from we to people to we to paper.

(01:03:26):
All right. The should be freedom, liberty and justice for
all y'all with money the rest of y'all figure it
out amongst yourselves. Okay, America is not a country, it's
a business. Jackie Coogan movie, killing them softly. That's why
so many of US American citizens sound like disgruntled employees
complaining about the lack of vision of our bosses. But
here's the thing. It's not a lack of vision they have.

(01:03:49):
They are purposely choosing not to see us because they
are too busy seeing the paper. All right, the business
of America is not the people. The business of America
is business. Period. Let's hope that one day, you know,
the words of Peter Marshall come true. All right, Peter
Marshall said, may we think of freedom not as the
right to do as we please, but as the opportunity

(01:04:10):
to do what's right. What these governors are doing may
make you feel good, okay, because you are getting to
do what you please. But when people's lives are at risk,
it's simply not right. Please let Kathy Griffin give Governor
Abbot of Texas and Governor Reads of Mississippi the biggest
he hall. Please give this giant jar of male the
biggest he hall. All right, all right, thank you for

(01:04:36):
that donkey today, Yes, ma'am, all right. I guess this
would be a bad time to let everybody know I'll
be Atlanta this weekend. DJ, Why tell them how you're
going Atlanta? It's not because you enjoy playing music for
the people and you like to enjoy peing, seeing people dancing.
I do. I love it. How much you're charging? How

(01:05:00):
much you're charging? You know sometimes how much your charge?
Don't your therapist to say, sometimes are you charged? For
some people in Atlanta? They need to get crowned. So
you're gonna be in the club barefoot is a party outside.
You will be walking through the grass getting centered like
I do. That's what you're gonna do. We're gonna be
hugging tree. You gotta find you a baller, and we're
gonna be gonna be hugging wood all the weekend long.
How much you talking? What are you hugging? How much

(01:05:22):
you talking? Shout to my family that b q E
shouts my family a sweet count that family. Absolutely, absolutely
a lot of people hugging wood out there in Atlanta.
Everything's not about money yet. And Charlemagne, oh really he's done.
Think about when you're doing all your parties free in
Atlanta ast all weekend that's nice. Huh huh. You donating

(01:05:44):
all the money to charity, huh huh. Exactly as I said,
America is not a country, it's a business. Okay, all right,
up next, asking you a hundred and five A five
one oh five one. If you need relationship advice to
any type of advice, or you just need advice, to
call her right now. Eight hundred five five one to
five one. It's the Breakfast Club. One Morning, the Breakfast Club.

(01:06:10):
Does the relationship advice, need personal advice, just need real advice?
Call up now for asking morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela, Yee,
Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time
to ask ye Hello, who's this anonymous? Anonymous? What's your

(01:06:31):
question for you? Okay? So basically, I've seen my boyfriend.
I looked at the textlogue from my account, and I've
seen that he was texting some escorts. And when I
approached him about it, he basically that it was he
was texting someone about some shoes, and um, he don't

(01:06:53):
know what the phone lines are connected to up on Google,
and I see that it escort. So I approached him
about it, and he still continued to lie. Um, and
then one of them was a job you have to
say trans woman, so the trans woman. And then someone

(01:07:14):
that was you know, given the jobs or whatever. So
what's the job? Yeah, it's like look in the room. Yeah.
So I mean, and we're engaged now, and this is
after the engagement. Well, if I don't know what to do,
I mean, I like what to do. But he continued

(01:07:34):
to lie about it, so, right, and he's not going
to tell the truth. But you know what it is.
You're asking him something you already know the answer to, right,
and so of course he's lying because he doesn't want
you to leave him, and he probably hasn't come to
terms with whatever it is that he's doing that he's
ashamed of, which is hitting up escorts. Right, But why
do that, like, I mean, why, Well, it clearly is

(01:07:57):
something that he's into, and maybe there's things that they're
doing that he doesn't want his wife to do. A
lot of times guys like to do things with people
that they pay for that they're not getting at home
because they're you know, maybe are not really coming to
groups to the fact that they like certain things and
they don't want to ask you because he thinks that
maybe you'll judge him. So we do stuff like that,

(01:08:18):
right we you know, he likes it, you know, and
the you know or whatever. Yeah, so that's why I'm
confused of why you have to go somewhere else. And
then now I'm thinking to myself, are you gay? So
you use that you've done this, you use a strap
on on him? No, what do you do? I've never
done that. You just lick his you know, he asked me,

(01:08:40):
you know, to lick his and you know, click my
finger in there, which you know, kind of pleasurable when
you're in the moment. But right, well, here's my thing.
You have some reservations right now, you guys are engaged,
perhaps you know, don't think about marriage right now. If
you have reservations, you shouldn't be getting married if you're
not sure. So I mean, and he should call up

(01:09:02):
the marriage. We don't already. Envy agrees with your husband.
Vy just walked in. He agrees with your husband. I
don't agree with nothing. I didn't even but I just think, listen,
this is what I think. When you have these issues
and you're not even married yet. You got to work
through those before you get married, not after what issues
she has. I mean, so he's been her husband, her
fiance's been hitting up escorts, some of them trans women. Listen,

(01:09:25):
if you have any reservations, don't do it until y'all
figure out what's going on. He's got to learn to
be honest no matter what it is that he's doing.
If he you're asking him these questions that you know
the answers to, and you're going through his things and
he's lying to you about it, that's not going to
just solve itself. So do you think he's done doing it?
Or I mean, because we already pay for the wedding,
so it's not like we can just camp through things off.

(01:09:47):
You know, yes, you absolutely can. Yeah, what do you
think it's more expensive to have a wedding that you
don't really know for sure you want to have and
then later on get divorced or put it off until
your sure, right, I mean putting it off. But I
do love him. I mean we have kids together, so right,
I'm not saying that you can't get married, but you

(01:10:09):
need to tell him. Look, I'm not marrying you until
we have open, honest conversation because you can't even make
a decision off of what you don't know, right, so
just be like, like, at least allow me the you know,
just give me the respect to tell me the truth
so I can make decisions based on facts. Right now,
you're lying to me. That's already a red flag. I

(01:10:29):
don't want to marry a liar right now. You're doing
things that you feel like you have to sneak around
and do behind my back. You don't even know what
I'm cool with, what I'm not cool with, And I
don't know what it is that you need from me,
if there's anything I can do or if I can't.
But I would love for us to have that conversation
because I don't want either one of us to get
into a situation where we're not happy. Okay, Well, I

(01:10:50):
mean because I've talked to him multiple times and he
just still continue to lie. So I mean, I don't
have You can't marry a liar. But it's showing in
the text messages through my account. So and when I
looking up on Google, it's been does he know that
you see his text messages all the time? Yeah? I
told him, and he said, you know, I treat choose.

(01:11:12):
So I don't know what this account is linked to
you know, just he lying, girl, like, you just can't
marry a liar period, No matter what it is that
he's lying about. You just can't do that to yourself.
It's not gonna end well, okay, And sometimes you got
to give people that ultimatum for them to finally come
clean because he's just gonna keep on lying, thinking y'all
just gonna get married. It doesn't work that way. Hurry. Well,

(01:11:36):
I hope y'all work things through. But just in the meantime,
you can't be with nobody that you can't trust, right,
I'm sorry, thank god, thank you. Okay, he probably needs
to get some individual help. I would suggest that he
talked to somebody and maybe that will help him come
to terms. It might be thinks he hasn't come to
terms with himself. Well, I always thinking teaking, canceling, because

(01:11:57):
I mean he's treated before, you know, and had a
whole baby. It's well, that's a different story. Girl. Yeah,
let me tell you something. Don't do this to yourself.
You might feel like I'm already all the way in
so deep. In many ways, it's easier said than done,
like we have Yeah, and I get that, and it

(01:12:17):
is easier said than done. But you don't want to
keep on going deeper and deeper, right, all right? I
wish you the best though, thank you'll appreciate it, all right,
ask ye eight hundred five eight five one on five one.
If you need relationship advice is to breakfast club. Good morning.
I'm gonna keep some real advice with Angela ye ask

(01:12:38):
ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and Angela Yee. Charlomagne
the guy we are the breakfast club in the middle
of asking ye, Hello, who's this? Yeah? Good morning? It's
problem rock star? How y'all doing? Hey? Ye what some
rock stars? Good morning? I was trying to tell you this,
but you know, you like, he was on a lot

(01:13:00):
busy and stuff like that. But listen, this is my question. Right.
I have a neighbor and she's you know, she's very
wealth seasons, meaning she's older, about sixty eight or whatever.
And sometimes I helped her around the house with little
knickknacks and you know, like grocery shopping and stuff like that.
So the other day I would help for her with

(01:13:21):
her groceries. Now she told me to have a seat,
you know, because she wants to show me something. So
I said, all right, you know, you want to show
me something. Maybe it's maybe we want something. So she
goes in the room, closes the door, and she was
taking a little while. It took about ten minutes, and
you know, I was like, you know, I hope this
lady don't have a stroke or nothing. So she comes
out the room with a row. I hear music playing

(01:13:43):
from somewhere. I don't even know, no clothes, and she
suttles me. So, you know, I have to get up
on an idea. So listen, from my question is that
do I continue avoiding this very wealth seasoned lady or
do I confront her over the phone, of course, because
I'm trauma taught to go back to you. And if

(01:14:04):
I do have a conversation to her, what do I say, like,
because I'm I was, I was shocked. I was. I
was shocked. And it seems to be the older women
that's gonna culture me lately. I don't know what it is.
I don't. Yeah, first of all, nobody can invade your
space in that way. She should not have touched you.
She should not have been in your space at all.

(01:14:24):
So I think you do have to let her know
that she'd be all right. But she still can't do that. Well,
you get to tell her it do right, right, So
you have to let her know that, and I wouldn't
be around her at all anymore. I would tell her
I was uncomfortable and she's lucky that you're not pressing
charges against there for assaulting you because that is assault.
Yeah yeah, yeah, technically yeah it is. Yeah. So you

(01:14:49):
let her know that and be like, look, I'm not comfortable.
I won't be around anymore, and I'm telling you right now,
so you don't do that to somebody else. You have
assaulted me and I'm not. Just don't be around her,
are you okay? Because I'm fine. I know that I
wasn't giving her the wrong type of vibe, so I was.
I definitely didn't say you were, but I'm just asking
her you okay, because I know things like this can happen,

(01:15:11):
and I think we're okay. Yeah, no, I'm fine. Like
she just puts one leg over me and I'm just
like whoa, like gotta gotta go right right. Yeah. I
definitely don't think that you were asking for it. It
does not matter if you were. You were helping her,
so you know, nobody is allowed to do something like
that to you without your consent. So no, you're not wrong,

(01:15:31):
and you should let her know. But I don't know
if you even want to speak to her anymore. I
don't absolutely yeah no, no, if I were you, I
would probably actually send her a message to read so
that I also have that case she tries to say
something crazy about you. Yeah, I don't think she will,
but that's a that's a smart thing about sudding the
text method. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. Yeah, all right, listen,

(01:15:55):
Harlan Rach that we're friends over here on social media,
so if you need anything, you let me know. But no,
it's not a funny situation. It's not anything that should
have happened to you. And if later on or you know,
you feel like I need to talk about it, you
should definitely speak to somebody because that definitely wasn't right.
Like I was, like I told one one of the
person and they kind of thought it was funny because

(01:16:18):
the lady was like old and I'm funny older or old. No,
she's like you know, like that that just that just
wasn't wasn't cool, Like you know, all right, well and listen,
anybody out there, if you need help. There's rain and
that is for the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline. That
number is eight hundred and six five six hope, and

(01:16:39):
that's how you can get a trained staff member from
a sexual assault provider in your area. Thank you, appreciate you. Okay, okay,
all right, ask ye eight hundred five eight five one
on five one. If you need relationship advice, hit ye
up now. Now we got rules on the way, yes,
and bad wow and Soldier Boy or a beefing at
some wrestlers on social media. All right, we'll get into

(01:16:59):
that next. Just the breakfast club corning. It's the breakfast club.
It's about Angela. Ye, the breakfast Club. Now, if you recall,
had said on social media last month that he wants

(01:17:22):
to join the WWE said it's been a lifelong childhood
dream of his to wrestle. Well, it looks like he's
dead serious about it. He actually shouted out to Soldier Boy.
He said, Yo, Soldier Boy, these wrestlers are terrified. I've
been given them the business since I announced I was training.
They so scared. We're gonna take all they shine. And
then Soldier Boy said, rat game fager than w W

(01:17:43):
E T Bar who the wrestler says, does the rat
game take years off your life and leave you with
countless injuries and debilitating pain? Oh well, maybe just stick's
a super soaking hose or whatever it is you did
fifteen years ago. Yeah, they've been to get hurt. He knows,
didn't that ring gonna get hurt. What you mean, rest
of All and Soldier Boy are doing is genius. It's wrestling.

(01:18:04):
Wrestling is of course, they get hurt, but they practice
and they they'll figure it out. And Soldier Boy go
to practice, they won't be the first celebrities to step
into the ring. They do things. They make sure that
those guys don't get hurt. They what they're doing is genius.
They're building up, you know, anticipation for it, making people
want to see it. And even if you want to
see Bawow and Soldier Boy getting the ring just to

(01:18:24):
get hurt, you're going to tune in and they're gonna
get paid. Drop one up. Randy Orton responded, fake, dare this?
I don't know if I can say this word. Um
to step up. He don't like movies. Consider us actors
that do stunts without pads two hundred days a year
and don't bitch. When we get surgically repaired and come
right back, consider us one hundred times tougher than anyone

(01:18:45):
you've come across. Ain't nothing but a bitch. A very true.
All that's true with her, he just said, it's very true.
But what Wow and Soldier Boy doing is great because
you know they're making people want to see them in
the ring, even if even if it's just for them
to get hurt. But can Bow Wow pick up wrestler
like Candyla a wrestler like you can't do none of that,
It don't matter. Then you can figure all that out.

(01:19:06):
Somebody gets shot by you. Listen, it's always sirens around here. Okay,
they're on their way somewhere, all right. Kodak Black is
going to be allowed to travel across the country for
work purposes. Only your federal judge has signed off on that.
According to legal documents, he can go. He got that

(01:19:28):
stamp of approval with certain limitations. He can go out
of state, but he has to provide a full itinerary
schedule that includes where he is staying when he is traveling.
Why leave Florida? That Black probably can make a million
dollars in Florida just doing shows, but I'm sure he's
getting booked everywhere else Atlanta, especially for Georgia, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Texas.
You have a party with him in back to Florida,

(01:19:50):
back to Atlanta. Now, I ain't got no parties with Kodak.
I got party with Jeezy and Trick Daddy, but no
kodam all right now, Matthew Knowles is planning to ret
hire from the music industry. He said, I'm ready to
move on, and he told Paid six that he's going
to be doing some more fulfilling projects, So it looks
like he is planning to do things like helping. He

(01:20:12):
actually launched a podcast on iHeart called Matthew Knows Impact
and he's been featuring guests who work in a variety
of fields. And he said he has a family member
that will appear on the show soon, so we're not
sure who that is. And yeah, so when he asked
who his dream guests would be, he listed people like
Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey and so on. So he's transitioned

(01:20:36):
completely out of music now. He wants to be dedicated
to mentoring academia. Yeah, I mean it's got to be
hard to be Matthew knows, right, because you gave the
world Destiny's child, and Beyonce like, that's the ball you
said for yourself. So if you don't, you know, deliver
something like that again, it's just like, you know, maybe
maybe need to find something else to do. All right.
In the meantime, Salanta that she was fighting for her

(01:20:57):
life when she recorded her last album. So she was
celebrating the two year anniversary of When I Get Home
and she and she wrote this note to her fans
on Instagram. When I first started creating When I Get Home,
I was quite literally fighting for my life in and
out of hospitals with depleting health and broken spirits, asking
God to send me a sign I would not only survive,

(01:21:18):
but if you let me make it out alive, I
would step into the light, whatever that meant. So she
didn't elaborate on what it was that that affected her health,
but she was forced to cancel concerts back in twenty
seventeen because of an nerve disorder that she had. So
who sent us a launch healing energy? Well, actually, on
the other side of whatever she was on right, all right? Well,

(01:21:42):
and the Golden globes. Their ratings plummeted during this pandemic.
They did that virtual ceremony and they said it was
six point nine million viewers that tuned in. The highest
they ever had was back in two thousand and four
when they had almost twenty seven million viewers. Wow, a front.
I don't even knew it was over. They had no clue.

(01:22:03):
Heard y'all reporting on it after the fact, like, oh,
I didn't know that happened. I didn't know. I didn't
even hear about the nominations being announced. Nothing. All right,
well that is your rumor report. All right, revote, We'll
see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else to People's Choice mixes
up next and shout out to everybody again. That's head
into Atlanta this weekend and next week, and of course
we're doing a real estate seminar where we're trying to

(01:22:24):
teach people how to get into real estate on their
first property by investment property. So we'll be doing that
in Atlanta, and we just announced that we're doing one
in the New York New Jersey area as well. So
we're just trying to make sure people are are using
all the money the best way that they can. All right,
so hopefully we'll see in Atlanta or New York City.
I have to mixes up. Next, it's the Breakfast Club,
Go Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne

(01:22:48):
the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now. As Women's
History Month, when we rep into that easy today, we
will be honoring Bianca Smith. She is the first black
female coach and Major League Baseball history, and that actually
just happened this year in twenty twenty one. It's Woman's

(01:23:08):
History Month and we're celebrating the most influential women and
to check out this phenomenal woman. As far as you know,
young girls seeing themselves represented in sports, it it makes
a difference. I mean I never thought about coaching when
I originally decided I wanted to get into baseball. I
think that's primarily because it, yeah, it's not really something
I saw, but I always saw women in the front office,

(01:23:30):
like I didn't see women on the field. So it
never occurred to me to be a coach until I
actually got on the field myself and realized, Okay, this
is something I could do. It's a big responsibility because
I know how important representation is. And while it's not
something I certainly intended when I took the position with
the Red Sox. It's something that I'm certainly willing to
be that face. If it means other girls, other women

(01:23:53):
get into this game and realize that they could do
this too, I'm more than happy to be that representation
and give them advice and help them get to where
they want to be. That's what being your coaches is,
helping guide other people to get to where they want
to actually get to. And that was another phenomenal woman

(01:24:15):
in history. All right again, congratulations to Bianca Smith, the
Bus and Red Sox has who welcomed her as a
minor league coach. If you can see it, you can
be it. And that's who we are honoring this Women's
History month. All right now, when we come back, we
got the positive notes, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne

(01:24:38):
the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now I'm Charlomagne.
You gotta oh. Let me shout to Sister Soldier for
joining us this morning. Who yes? The Soldier man her
new book, Life After Death, the sequel to the Coldest
One that ever twenty years later, and I'm gonna tell
y'all something, Man. I'm seeing all these negative reviews on Amazon,
which I know a fake, by the way, and I
see people complaining about the book. But the one constant

(01:25:01):
I noticed is the people complaining about the book. I
haven't even finished the goddamn book. How do you complain
about a whole book that three hundred plus pages long
but you ain't even finish the check Like that makes
no sense to me. The book just came out yesterday,
so it's like, shut up. Like I've been waiting for
Winter Santiago to see what was gonna happen to her
after she went to jail. So I'm excited, and I

(01:25:22):
have a theory. I don't think when it is what
y'all think she is right now, okay, but when you
talk about that, you know later later or later or
later or later on down the line, okay, because I
don't want to spoil it for nobody. But yes, please
go pick up Life After Death by Sister Soldier, the
sequel to The Cold This one ever man salute to
Sister Soldier. She is a jim all right, Now, you
got a positive note? Yes, the positive notice simply this man.

(01:25:45):
Stop shrinking yourself to fit places you've clearly y'ull grown.
Breakfast club you don't finish for y'all. Dune
