You know, good morning, I should say so. You know,

(01:02):
as a kid, my mom used to clean the house
every Sunday, right, I don't know if I don't know
if that it didn't help I clean my room. But
she used to clean the house every Sunday. I helped.
She would clean the house every Sunday and she would
play music throughout the whole house all Sunday and in
that feeling. So this morning I threw on some Teddy
Pendergrass out and man, who turn off the lights? Turn

tell you you got to watch that. It's amazing documentary.

(02:28):
Yeah I see that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, this he's act good.
What I like about it is that he did a
lot of audio recordings and that they were able to
use those in the documentary like somebody first hand telling
their story, and it was just really dope. It was
on showtime, right. Yeah. He got an amazing, amazing story
when you even here, just how he got in the business,
and then it was like a little a lot of
drama with his career. But so talented. He's very handsome too.

(02:53):
I actually saw him performed once, but that's when he
was in the wheelchair. That happened to be in Atlantic
City and women were still throwing their panties on the stage. Really, yeah,
he has he has a lot of records. Man, I
had a great drive in this morning. Just oh man,
it was beautiful. Okay, all right, well let's get the
show cracker. Who's joining us this morning. Oh man, my man,
King Jay Barnett Kings Jay Barnett is a psychiatrist therapist

(03:15):
who specializes in black men's mental health. He's got an
initiative with Roger P. Hinson and Tracy J that he's launching,
so he'll be here to talk about it. And he's
a form an NFL player, right, he's a ball player.
I don't know if he was in the NFL. Definitely
form a ball player though. Okay, all right, so we'll
kick it with him in a little bit. And we
got front page news. What're were talking about? Well, I
hate to bring the mood down, but there was a

(03:36):
mass shooting in San Jose yesterday and we'll discuss what
happened because the victims all knew the person who killed them.
Nine victims, damn it. Man. Yeah, all right, we'll get
into that next. It's the Breakfast Club Morning morning. Everybody
is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the Gad. We are

(03:57):
to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news now.
Last night NBA playoffs. The Jazz beat the Grizzlies one
forty one, one twenty nine to seventy six. Is beat
the Wizards one twenty ninety five. Russell Westbrook got injured
as he was walking out. Somebody through I guess popcorn
on him as he was walking out. And I don't
think that's what I heard him though, No, that'scorn as

(04:21):
he was walking might do popcorn on him. No, he
got injured and as he was walking out somebody threw
popcorn on him and he was trying to get up
in them stands to throw that dude all over the
place and dropping the clues bonds for the New York Knicks.
Damn it. I was about to say that the New
York Knicks beat the Hawks one on one ninety two.
This is a very interesting series, I think partly because

(04:44):
it's the Knicks, but also because Trey Young is talking
so much. Issue So in the end of this game,
Trey Young was like, we're going to the A. I
see y'all in the A. I see y'all in the afastball.
But they don't talk like that, no more like it's
usually great game. No, now they're back to talking, and
I love the playoff basketball, and it is what it
is is playoff basketball. Like you said, I love it.

(05:05):
Now come on with the sad news, all right, Well,
this happened in San Jose. There were nine victims. It
was a mass shooting. They have all been identified and
they will be honored tonight at an event at the
San Jose City Hall Plaza. But the victims were at
the Valley Transportation Authority. It's a public transit service. It
operates the bus and light rail services in the Santa
Clara Valley. It employees about two thousand workers. And they

(05:28):
said one thing that is clear, according to the mayor,
is that the victims and all the colleagues knew the shooter. Well,
the shooting started and there were several nine one one
calls that reported shots fired at the VTA Control Center
as employees from the midnight shift and the day shift overlapped.
There were multiple law enforcement agencies and fire department personnel
who responded. They have identified the gunmen. Sam Cassidy is

(05:51):
his name, according to a law enforcement source, and according
to his ex girlfriend, she said she dated him for
approximately one year. It was an on and off again relationship.
After about six months they met on match dot Com
and they saw each other about once a week, and
she said he asked her to marry him, even though
he complained that they weren't having enough sex. She refused,

(06:11):
and she said he did not take it well. He
also had mood swings that were exacerbated when he consumed
large quantities of alcohol. She also said that he had
bipolar disorder. According to the ex girlfriend she did not
want to be identified, she said several times during the
relationship he became intoxicated and raged and forced himself on
her sexually. His ex wife, Cecilia Elmes, said that he

(06:33):
resented his work. They were married for about ten years
and then they filed for divorce in two thousand and five.
She's not been in touch with him for about thirteen years,
but she said he often spoke angrily about his co
workers and bosses, and at times directed his anger at her.
When the two of them were married, he resented what
he saw his unfair work assignments and would rant about
his job when he got home. So he did take

(06:55):
his own life once the police were called and yeah,
it's a terrible crime scene. Six of the victims remained
in the building as the crime scene was processed. One
of the victims, the ninth one, actually made it to
the hospital and then he died. Lord Have Mercy, all
hurt was a lot of hurt, a lot of pains. Now. Yeah,

(07:17):
so there's a lot to this, and we will keep
you updated, but we want to definitely make sure we
give our condolences to the families, to the friends, to
everybody that has suffered from this a loss from this
mass shooting. Again, the gunman has been identified as Sam Cassidy.
Why does it seem like mass shootings are so quiet nowadays?
There's been a lot of them. This what I'm saying,

(07:37):
Like I wondered the last time a mass shooting has
been like a major headline that dominated the news cycle.
It's just like this, it's just another story. Now, that's
not the way it should be. We start getting up.
I mean, we're numb to a lot of things in America.
But Lord Have Mercy. Yeah, you know the deputies where
they're really quickly at the scene of this crime. They're
actually right next door to the VTA, so it pretty quickly.

That's it. Didn't out coming back, I mean it, but
a lot of publicity definitely did. It. Was grateful the
rollout of the album, by the way it was, and
it's probably something he always wanted to do on his
bucket list. But he does have a new album out
that's doing really well and a lot of other things
going on. So Jay Cole has had the best album

(19:56):
rollout I've seen in a long, long, long, long long time,

station for my range Rover the gas stashing. Um, it's

whole hour. And you said you were carjack yes, ma'am

getting gas and they just jumped in the car. And
that's not a card jack. Don't tell me it's not
a carjack. So what what was it? Because a little
gun Well, y'all cut the best part. When they can't

put it to you like this. If um, it's bad
that I noticed. If you get robbed at gunpoint, the

(21:23):
police will do whatever it takes to get that car back.
If it's just a stolen car and it's a high
speed chase, the police will let the car go at
times because they don't want to hurt any pedestrians. But
if it's a gun involved, they'll do whatever it takes
to stop that vehicle. Damn. I don't know how I

remember we've been telling you about all these incentives to

(23:11):
get vaccinated. In Ohio, they have a five million dollars
COVID nineteen vaccine sweepstakes. Well that money is starting to follow.
Abigail Bougenski won a million dollars after getting vaccinated, and
Joseph Costello got a college scholarship. According to the VACS
A Million Programs website, how much do you got? One

(24:13):
historic thing that just happened. Kristin Clark is the new
leader of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division. According
to the Black Information Network, Clark was confirmed by the
United States Senate with a fifty one forty eight vote
on Tuesday. Senator Susan Collins was the only Republican to
express support for the attorney And with this confirmation, it
is history. Kristin Clark is the first black woman to

(24:35):
lead the Civil Rights Division since it was formed in
nineteen fifty seven. They try to say that she was
a radical and a leftist, but despite all of that,
you know, she is not that radical. She said she
does not support defunding the police. She said, I do
support finding strategies to ensure that law enforcement can carry
out their jobs more safely and effectively, and channeling resources

(24:55):
to emotional health treatment and others severely underresourced areas. And
In other historic news, climate activists have defeated x in
their push for clean energy. It was a stunning defeat
yesterday when shareholder is of Xon Mobile elected at least
two board candidates that were nominated by activists investors who
pledged to steer the company toward cleaner energy and away

(25:16):
from oil and gas. This is a big deal as
we are trying to address climate change. So if y'all
know what that means. With Xon Mobile being the biggest
oil company and the oil leader until recently, they've been
really slow to invest in this, but they've had some
poor returns recently. So now the loss of at lose
two seats on the board will energize activists to pressure

(25:36):
Xon and other oil companies and businesses who they believe
are not doing enough to address climate change. So that's
a really big deal, all right, Anne, Of course, you know,
I know this is really sad news, but this is
a big story for this morning, there were nine victims
of a mass shooting in San Jose yesterday. They have
been identified as investigators are trying to figure out why

(25:56):
this happened. They will also be honored tonight at an
event at the San Jose City Hall Plaza. The victims
all were at the Valley Transportation Authority. They operate the
Bustin light rail services in the Santa Clara Valley. They
employed about two thousand workers. The gunman has been identified
as Sam Cassidy. According to law enforcement sources, they did

(26:16):
all know each other because they all were co workers,
and they said one thing that has become clear is
that they knew the shooter. Well. So the shooting actually
happened yesterday as employees from the midnight shift and the
day shift overlapped. The yard is where the VTA vehicles
are maintained and dispatched, so that's where all of this happened,
and multiple law enforcement agencies and fire department personnel did respond.

(26:40):
They said, once law enforcement was there, that is when
Sam Cassidy took his own life, and they were there
very quickly because the Sheriff's office is next door. Unfortunately,
nine people were already killed by that time. Yeah, I
just don't understand why mass shootings are just a side
edition the news. Like I know that there's a lot
going on, but mass shooting should always be the main
course in the media. We should ever getting numbed to

(27:00):
this because it's so much involved, mental health, gun laws,
so many things to discussed when these things happen, and
there's been a lot of them this year. Am I
tripping A definitely have been one every two days, I
think they said, yikes, yeah, So again, we want to
give our condolences to the families and to the friends
of the victims who were killed. Very sad sad day yesterday,

(27:24):
and his ex girlfriend and his ex wife have spoken
out to talk about the issues that he had. He
had a strained relationship with an ex girlfriend who did
not want to be identified. They did meet onmatch dot
com and she said they dated for approximately one year.
She said he would have mood swings that were exacerbated
when he consumed large quantities of alcohol. She also alleged
that he had bipolar disorder and that he enjoyed playing

(27:46):
mind games with her and several times during their relationship
he got intoxicated and raged and forced himself on her sexually.
His ex wife, Cecilia Nelms said that he resented his work.
They were together for about ten years, and she said,
and the two of them were married, he thought he
had unfair work assignments and he would have rant about
his job when he got home. She also had not
been in touch with him for about thirteen years after

(28:08):
filing for a divorce. T treat mass shootings and police
violence the same way y'all treated COVID. Make it the
headline everywhere, no opening acts. All right, well that is
your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye.
Now when we come back, Jay Barnett will be joining us.
Who's Jay Barnett? My man? Jay Barnett is an author, speaker,
mental health therapist, life coach. Uh you know he's all

(28:31):
about empowering and inspiring young black man. Really good brother,
all right, we'll get into that nextus. The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Man. We got one of
my favorite people in the room right now. Man, this
brother is so necessary and regarded to anybody who any
man in particular who's trying to state mentally and emotionally healthy.

(28:51):
My man, King Jay Barnett is head How are you, man,
good man? Did you see you in New York. You'd
like the city, man. I love city. I visit several times.
I got my nieces with me. Boy, I ran them
around yesterday. Okay. They was like, man, New York is
a different beast, but no, I love I love the
city man. So it's it's been good. And now it's
good to see you in person too, because last time

(29:13):
we saw you, um you was on the Zoom with
Queen Taragi and Queen Queen Tracy. That's what I got
put onto. Yeah. Yeah, so I know that y'all have
something going on now, is he you know? Okay Taragi
has the unspoken curriculum shoes, what is that about? Yeah?
So the unspoken curriculum is where we're going to be
talking about the experience that black students are having in classroom.

(29:36):
You know, there's many implicit bias that these students go
through from their experience and a lot of time black
students are treated differently based on behavior, based on different
learning differences that they're having. But a lot of times,
you know, our students are criminalized, and so I think
rather than being criminalized, these students more have more so

(29:57):
have clinical issues. So when you have a student that
maybe have a behavior issue, and black boys are more
likely to be suspended than white boys, and then now
black girls are more likely to be suspended as well.
And so the unspoken curriculum is also going to provide
a space for these boys to come in and to
talk about these different things. And so I'm going to
be spearheading along with doctor Yeshiva and brother Alfonzo, who

(30:21):
is a black male therapist as well, and so we'll
be providing space for the six weeks and kind of
talk about how to manage these spaces because when these
black boys going these classroom man or just black students,
their experienced man, it really does affect their confidence. So
if my issue is that I'm really suffering mentally because

(30:43):
of what's going on at home, and school is just
a place where I act out at and if I
get suspended, so I'm now feeling like, well, school is
not the place where it's going to advocate for me.
And when you look at these black students, very few
white teachers are taken out the time to provide resources
and to vibe the level of care that they need.
I agree with that, that's dope. I'm glad you guys

(31:04):
are doing that because I always say this. When I
was in college, I thought I was going to be
a teacher. So I did this teaching program for six
and seventh graders, and I was in a neighborhood that
was mostly Dominican. It was one black student in the class, right,
and he was Haitian, and so you know, they used
to make fun of him all the time, and he
had a lot of things going on at home, and
sometimes teachers don't take the time to find out, like

(31:24):
he would be hungry in school because he didn't have
enough food at home to eat, because he had a
lot of brothers and sisters. He wore like the same
clothes all the time, and all those things take a
toll on you. And then you come to school and
the other kids are making fun of you, and then
the teacher is seeing you acting out, but not even
taking the time to understand, like what's going on at
home and what are these real issues? And what about
these students that are really giving you a hard time

(31:46):
in class? And who do they talk to if they
have those problems? Yeah? Absolutely, because I mean when I
started working in the schools as far as counseling and
even my internship, a lot of the times when I
will go to these white teachers and ask him, you know,
have you really set and talk with this student. They didn't.
They automatically looked at the student and they saw the issue,

(32:10):
you know is that well he's well, he's disturbing the class.
And really the kid hadn't eaten, you know, the kid
was homeless. And there were so many kids that their
home and family dynamic which is different, and school was
just the way that they either felt safe or in
many cases, these kids like man, you come to school

(32:31):
and basically you just let everything out because let's let's
take for an example, if you're get an abuse at home,
and usually the abuser becomes who's been abused become the abuser,
so which is where you have a lot of this
bullying that has taken place. So the kid that has
been bullied become the bully. But then again, he's acting
out and basically he's lashing out on what he's experiencing.

(32:52):
And so if you don't sit down and talk to
a kid, and then too, if you don't have a
representation as a black male or counselor or a black
old teacher, and especially in the space of education, where
just not many black individuals. It's for as males to
represent an advocate for these young black boys. Yeah. Man,
that's why cultural competency is so important. Ranks cultural competency, man,

(33:15):
it's so important. And so I think for me, right
when I was in grad school, I was I was
the only black male student that was in my marriage
and family therapy program. So I was one out of
seventy six. And I remember my experience and talking about
different things when we have our clinicals and our practicums,

(33:38):
and all of these white students were trying to figure
out how to work with black kids and to work
with hispanics. And one of the things I said to them,
I said, what level of understanding do you have of
the culture, of their family dynamics, of their backgrounds, even
a certain collocualism that we have in our language. And
none of them had any understanding. They only had text

(34:00):
book and so this is where they were felling. And
they was disconnected because you can use all the theories
that you want, but if you cannot connect to a
kid here, or connect to his culture or connect to
his family dynamic, you're not going to understand how to
even connect with them. Even in your methods and your theories.
So cultural competency is key that if you're going to

(34:22):
advocate for black students, you need to understand Black culture.
And if you're going to advocate for Brown hispanics, you
need to understand their culture. You need to understand who
is the patriarch, who is the matriarch, and just even
those simple things. Understanding that if you're working with black families,
nine times out of ten, you're going to be speaking

(34:42):
with the mom and that won't be a male presence there,
and that dynamic is going to impact how you interact
and it's also going to impact how your methods, how
effective are your methods, and so cultural competence is critical. Yeah,
you know, even when you talk about anxiety, because you've
never heard you say, you know, somebody asked you to

(35:03):
break down anxiety and you said, anxiety is being here
but wanting to be there. Man, when you say that,
I understand exactly what you're talking about, because I think
it's levels to anxiety, right, Like my anxiety as a
black man's totally different than the anxiety I know that
a white woman experiences, but it's found on that a
little bit. So you know, anxiety is really rooted in
the fear of the unknown, right, and it's the fear

(35:23):
of the what if. It's the fear of what can.
It's the fear of uncertainty, and it's the fear of
a possibility where you have no evidence. And so it's
the fear of what if they don't like me and
you haven't even walked in their room. So it's the
fear of what if I'm rejected? Well, you haven't given

(35:45):
yourself an opportunity to be accepted. So it's and that
anxiety roots up a lot of just you know, our
family system, because many of us have already been rejected
by our families. We've been abandoned by you know, our
loved ones, and we've been ostracized for our thoughts, for
our belief system. And so I would even go out

(36:06):
on a limb man that said, every black person deals
with a level of anxiety, whether it's racial or through
a social experience. I think from a family perspective, even
when you decide to step out of your family dynamic
and said I'm going to become something that no one
has never seen. That's great anxiety that comes from that

(36:26):
because now you gotta hear well, who do you think
you are? That creates a level of anxiety altogether. Right, So,
I think the anxiety of being here, wanting to be
there is always is having to rastle with the outcome
that you created in your head that haven't really taken place,
but in your mind you made it real. And so

(36:48):
I think when we have spaces to kind of talk
about rational and irrational anxiety and be able to expound
on those differences in the variation, it allows us to
be to grow and understand that it's real. However, I
don't have to allow it to really hold truth in
my life. All Right, we got more with Jay Barnette.
When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning,

(37:09):
Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We have author, motivational speaker
Jay Barnett. Ye, what made you get into therapy and coaching? So? Man,
oh god. So when when I left football, I battled
with depression, like since I was thirteen when my parents divorced,

(37:31):
and you know, and and and people say, well, how
did it? It's shape, y'all, I said, because you know,
my parents were pastors and so for me, it was
just this heartbreak, like, you know, I can't believe my
parents are divorcing, right, you know, they're church leaders, and
I think at that time, I didn't really have anybody
reaching out to ask me how was out doing because
I automatically begin to fill this gap where I had

(37:55):
to be a big brother and I had to be
there for my mom. As most black boys, you're stepping
in in a daddy role where you're still a boy,
and so that pressure I carried it and football became
a safe space for me. So when football was over,
I didn't have a safe space or perceive safe space.
And then too it was how I cope. So you know,

(38:18):
for those that follow my story, I talk about suicide
like I'm a two time suicide, a survivor attempts. And
so when I started going to therapy after my second attempt,
and the therapy started to really address the issue behind
a depression, because I feel like depression is a symptom
to a greater root issue, and the root issue was

(38:40):
really stemming from abandonment, and the depression was brought on
trying to be accepted because for most black boys in sports,
coaches of fathers, so when football was over, I'm looking
for another father. I'm looking for some more validation. And
this is why it's hard for guys to try transition

(39:00):
out of sports, because they identify themselves through what they do.
And what I had to learn was it was what
I did, but it wasn't who I was. But that
takes a deeper level of healing then really addressing fatherhood
issues and dadhood issues and understanding that the validation that
most men, all of us. Let's be real, I don't

(39:22):
care what level of success, it's just something about having
a dad there, because I feel like a mother determines
what a child remembers, but a dad determines what a
child believes. So when dad put a stamp on it, man,
it's like you can do it and be whatever you want.
But even when you look at men who have become successful,

(39:43):
the constant need for validation is that I have all
of this, but I still haven't been approved by dad.
I have all of that, but I still haven't been
approved by the man that I looked up to or
the man that was absent from soul. I started looking
at them with it myself. I was looked at former team,
I looked at all of the black men that I
knew that man, what was the correlation and all of

(40:07):
us trying to find our way of manhood? And it
was the fact that the absence of not only just
a father, but it's a lack of knowing who we were,
who we are man. You know. The first time I
ever bawd in therapy was talking about that, and like,
you know how your father for me? My father, Um,
he would he would discipline me for things he didn't

(40:27):
teach me, you know what I'm saying. Like, and I
I remember one time I'm driving behind him and he
ran he ran a stop signs. I'm like fifteen sixty,
so I ran to stop signed too, but then he
pulled over. I pulled over and he slapped me. Right,
But it's like you, I'm following you. So how you
punished me for things you didn't teach me? You know? So?
But you know you realized he just was only doing

(40:48):
his best because he had his own issues. But no, y'ah,
absolutely right. Just that's what you want from from your father,
that validation. Yeah, And that's what led me into therapy. Um.
It wasn't something that I was set out to do.
I feel like it was, it was God ordained. And
from the first time I entered into my master's program,
the first class General Studies on family, the marriage and

(41:11):
family therapy, like it answers so much within my own,
you know, within myself and my own family dynamic. I
was like, oh, yeah, this is what I'm supposed to be.
And then when I started really talking and guys started
reaching out and like, yo, man, you know man, I've
struggled with depression. Man, I wanted to, you know, take
my life, man, do I got stream anxiety, and especially

(41:33):
with pro athletes because it's so much pressure to be
and to perform and a lot of it. But you know,
Chris Rock said something man that was so powerful. He said, women, children,
and animals are loved unconditionally, but men I loved under
the condition that they provide. So psychologically, as men, everything

(41:59):
is about performance. And so when I started to really
dig deep, I said, I want to get brothers to
remove the cape from trying to be Superman and learn
how to function in your Clark can and because that's
really who Superman was, right, the reality of it. And
so it's just functioning who you are because that performance

(42:22):
thing is exhausting, it's hardsome. Does the league have anything
for athletes who are transitioning from playing sports back into
you know, regular life, or is that they're getting better
at it. They're getting better at it. And recently I
partner up with the NFLPA and then PA Players Association Foundation.
They're they're doing a lot more workshops, a lot of more,

(42:44):
a lot more symposing and creating more outlets. I mean,
when you look at the players over the past couple
of years who have either committed suicide or they've had
these untimely deaths, it's it's it's it's very disheartening. And
one of the things is that I want to do
with athletes, especially black athletes, man, is just really get

(43:06):
them into space to where they be. These coaches even
begin to see these kids as a whole person and
humanize them and in a way that, man, this kid
is more than just an athlete. He's more than just
somebody who can dump, who can who who can jump?
These kids are future fathers and husband. But then too,
it's like when these kids are done and let's say

(43:26):
you don't go to the league, and you say, hey,
go be the best in life. All they know, is
to perform, and now you're asking them to function as
a husband and function as a father or function as
a as a citizen. It's it's unfortunate. And so I think,
you know, with what Charlotte Mayne's doing and you guys

(43:46):
platform and and and just really normalizing men speaking, you know.
And I think there's a shift right now that more
men are becoming comfortable because one thing about man, we
have to see it. I feel like women, y'all always,
y'll do brunches each other and women processed through talking

(44:08):
each other everything, and man we process in silence. It's
like in the locker room, like we're gonna come together,
but you're not gonna know personal stuff that's going on
and nobody's life because we performing for each other. And
a lot of a lot of it is just protection,
you know what I mean. That's it, and that's the
it's the protection of that little boy. So what happened

(44:30):
is that I show up as a man, or I
show up or show up as a male, but behind
it there's this little boy who is broken. Yeah you, um,
how did you get the validation that you were seeking
from your father? How did you I guess you know,
fix that wounding yourself. I didn't. Um, I didn't get it.
We Ever, man, when the first question friends, did you

(44:53):
didn't get it? I didn't get it because I felt
like I've never my father has never had to comeversation
with me that I wanted him to have. And I
said this to one of the young guys I mentor,
and I said, man, I've had to accept that. I
would love to have it, but I can't wait for it.
And that's when I, like I said to myself, I

(45:16):
have to keep healing. And I think the validation for
me now is being able to look at other brothers
and speaking to the king and them and being able
to build them. Or also when a brother hops you know,
or or send them a DM message and say, man, dude,
thank you for talking about this. Man, I watch a video, uh,

(45:37):
you know, talking about depression. I walked to watch a
video talking about you know, leaving sports and all those things.
It's like, man, that that that helped me. And so
that brings a great validation. And I would say the
word that I would use, it brings great fulfillment because
now at this point, I think that as you continue
to grow and evolve, as a man. Not only does

(45:59):
your perspective shit, but your view on life shifts. And
so my view is now is who are you building?
Rather than what you're building? Because it's great to build things,
and I think men should always work to build things,
But who are you building? And I think to be
able to hand the baton to another young man and
to talk to him about emotional intelligence and to be

(46:21):
able to encourage him, like, listen, man, I want you
to get to a place where you can respond versus react.
Everybody has anger, but I want you to manage that.
I think even when we look at these artists, I think,
you know, we give these young kids a bunch of
money because they got a hit and they sung is popping.
But I think these kids need mental health coaches. They

(46:43):
need more than just a tour manager. These kids need
a therapist or a counsel or somebody to help manage
that because here's what is happening. Their processing through their pen, right,
their processing through their pen and their pen is broken.
And here's the thing that today's artists are doing is

(47:04):
there's they speak about what's going on inside of them
versus artists of old that when we grew up artists
talked about what was going on around them. These artists
are talking about what is going on inside of me.
Listen to the lyrics. It's a whole mood, all right.
We got more with Jay Barnette when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ

(47:28):
Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We have author, motivational speaker Jay Barnett here. Charlemagne. I
was talking to my homegirl, deVie Brown last night and
I was talking about the mind of being in a
position where like you can hear, you can hear somebody
say all these great accolades about you, right, but then
you can hear somebody talking negative about you too in

(47:49):
your mind, like, well, who the fuck are you asking you?
Who am I? Who am I? How you expecting? What
is that? What is that? What is that called? So? Well?
I mean, it's one of those things, man, And I
think it's the constant question of who we are. And
one of the things that I really tell people focus
on what you can control, and that that you can't control,

(48:11):
leave it alone. And the only thing that you can
really control is how do you see yourself when you
look at you, because people are gonna always see you
according to their limited perspective of their experiences and either
the people that they encounter, and a lot of times
what you're projecting on me has nothing to do with me.

(48:32):
That's your stuff. So if you feel that, oh, he's
arrogant or she thinks she's that, no, you feel some
type of way about some stuff that you're dealing with.
And I just happen to be an innocent bystander in
this process to where you formulated these thoughts in these opinions.
And I think the more you become settling that because

(48:54):
here's the thing that I think that it's so important,
is I'd rather be a private success as rather than
to be a public success and a private failure. And
that's what we have people who that I'd rather be
a private success than to be a public success and
a private failure. And I feel like, because the public

(49:18):
success is I have to put on the show for everybody,
But you're failing in your relationships. You're failing in your
day to day encounters with yourself because your inner personal
relationship it's going to determine a relationship that you have
with others. So the relationship that you have with yourself
is always going to project how you relate to other people. Yeah. No,

(49:38):
I think that's great when you know what's going on
with you for real, no matter what anybody else says
about you. Like people will try to attack me about
certain things. Oh she ain't got no man, Well I
have been with somebody for six years, I'd like, but
they don't know because I don't put it all, you know,
exactly out there all the time. But like they'll say
like the worst things, Oh she don't do that, And

(49:59):
it's like, know, in real life, I know what I'm
really doing, and that's important to be able to feel
confident in that and to have people that support you,
that know you that that's what I care about more
than like somebody trying to get my attention and trying
to provoke you, because you can see when somebody's trying
to provoke you into something. Yeah, And what you've done,
Angela is provide a space of peace for you, because see,

(50:22):
once you provide that space a piece for you, dude,
piece is not the fact that everything is running through
a field of sunflower pieces that the world has fallen
apart and I have solitude. Yeah, I'm good. I'm happy,
and that's good. But you know when people say things
that aren't true, you're like, not even true exactly. Remember

(50:46):
that old exhibit video when he was just walking and
everything was going crazy behind him, but he was just
exactly home, man. And it's really having a place of
piece because we live in a world where everybody has
an opinion. Yeah. Yeah, if you have social media, you
have an opinion, rightfully yours. However, your opinion is none

(51:07):
of my business. And it's also not a fact sometimes,
like it could be something that's a fact and you're like,
like people would be like Angela is not black. I'm like, okay,
I mean what can I even say to that? Like
then that don't tell the whole story, though, yeah, you
know what I mean. But to you, I'm like, okay,
what constitute's actually being black? You know? She is black,
black and age. He's like, they don't know the whole story.

(51:29):
It's like, but it's also like you're just saying that
because you want me to be mad and like, and
I don't give people that privilege of me like responding
to things that I feel like they're trying to get
you to respond because they want to back and forth
and they want to try to embarrass you, and I
don't give anybody that. Man, Listen, I'll live about what
little Duke Vall said. Man, I'm not going back and

(51:50):
forth with you. I'm not because DONA doesn't make it worse.
So then now you're stretched out and you got all
these no I'm not even true. Why am I even entertaining? Listen,
I told a lot of these athletes, man, if you
don't get nothing else, get you some emotional intelligence. Man
be able to process your emotions and be able to
manage your emotions about others when they can't process their emotions,

(52:11):
because again, that emotional IQ intelligence allows you to be
able to Okay, I can process that. I don't like
what they said, but I have the ability and the
capacity to know what they said it's not true. It's
not true. However, doesn't have any validity because when we
start to allow that stuff to enter into our spirit
and enter into our control system, which is your mind,

(52:36):
that dictates so much. So many people are depressed by
other people. See it's one thing to be depressed by
a circumstance or situation, but when you start allowing people
to cause your depression. Man, Like, nah, you're you're you're
you are giving them the power over you to say, hey,
I get to control how you feel Like Nah, man,

(52:56):
life is too short for that. What do you What
do you mean, Jay, when you say that you're black exhausted? Man?
When I say that I'm black exhausted, I'm really talking
about the emotional toll and turmoil that it has taken
on me being a black man, being a black person,
having to endure, you know, avert racism, having to endure

(53:21):
the media, controlling the narrative, controlling the messages. It's just like,
you know, it's one of those things that I walked
into my office and back in Texas and and there
was a white colleague of mine who's a therapist, and
you know, we were talking about the George Floyd thing,
and I just looked at her. I was just like, man,
I'm just so tired. Man, I'm just tired, man. And

(53:45):
it was one of those things. She was like, she
was like, Jay, what do you mean? I said, Man,
I'm just I said, it feels like being black is
a job. Yeah, Like it's worked. It's like you gotta
if you're educated, black man, you gotta manage how you
present yourself, right, and then if you're an educated black woman,

(54:07):
you don't want to come off as an angry black woman.
But it's just like it's always having to control our emotions,
manage our feelings, you know, make sure you dress appropriate,
make sure you wear your hair like this, don't say
too many of this word, don't say to that. You
know what I mean, So just shut up and get

(54:28):
just comply. And that's black exhausted right there for those
to watch it. Right. My homeboy, you know, I do
like two big vacations a year where his family and friends.
And my homeboy was like, man, we didn't even get
to go into vacation last year, and he said, I
look forward to just two weeks and not being black.
I'm like, what did you talking about? But then he
explained exactly what you're said. It's just going somewhere and

(54:48):
just being that's just existing. I'm like, damn, because you
go into other countries, right, they just want you to
have a good time, that's it. They just want you
to come and have a good time. Body a little supernir,
drink a bunch of margar readers or tequila, and it's
just like, hey, just come have a good time when
we get here. It's like, I mean, Jesus, man, that's

(55:09):
the fact when you get the hoodies from Man, what's
the website. So the website is hellgirlhel dot com. Heal
girlhell dot com. So we're just pushing this heel movement.
And I'm excited to be working with Taragi again on
the unspoken curriculum. Man, like this is needed. Give me.
Give me your Twitters and Instagram. Yeah, my Twitterstagram is

(55:30):
King Jay Barnett and I have an online coaching mental
health coaching platform which is KJB Coaching dot com. Jay,
I love you, I value you, I appreciate you, King Man.
Just thank you and just keep keep existing absolutely, brother.
I value you man, love you, brother man. And it's
just been beautiful man to watch you evolve and Angela.

(55:51):
Thank you man, you know for not only work that
you do, but just even just you guys being authentic. Man.
So I think that's beautiful to have people because so
many people that man do, they're performing. By the time
they get home, they don't like the shoulder they're putting on. Right.
So I've been don't get me wrong, I've been there. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've been there and so no, no, thank you both

(56:13):
for the work that you guys doing for your platform.
You do it's the breakfast club. I'm in a good
move today. Man. It just feels good. How can you
not be that's good? I'm the only thing that sucks
is that here in New York City with everybody that listens.
That's all over the country, but in New York this weekend,

(56:35):
it's not gonna be like hot like it was all week.
It was like eighty ninety degrees all week and it's
Memorial Day weekend, That's what I'm saying. But it's still
good though. This is the first time we got teams
in the playoffs in New York. It just feels like
first time in long time, long time basketball. Basketball. Yeah,
oh football too. We don't have a playoffs in a
long time too. You got to figure out who to

(56:55):
root for. Bro at least a year is consistent birthday.
That's going to take it off. I'm a Knicks fan,
I'm a Giants fan. You said before you were a
Nets fan now and he was been a Jets fan
when yes he was. No, no, don't start these lives.
But you never played for the Jets. Scott shout the ball,
Scott I was supporting, Not definitely, he does. He does

(57:19):
wear Mets hats and Yankees hats. All and we care
about is what matches outfit and who's winning there By
sports fans, that's what you are. You can't be like that,
especially in the same city. Pick a slide. I'm a
Yankees fan, I'm a Giants fan, and I'm a Knicks fan.
When you went in next tickets, you was a Nets fan.
That's support New York teams, though, I see what I'm saying.
Why can't I can't support me the old team? No,

(57:40):
you gotta pick one. What team do you rap for?
Dallas Cowboys? I like the New York Liberty. Yeah, me too,
like the New York Liberty, Dallas Cowboys. All right, well,
let's get to room, let's talk dest any shot? Oh gosh,
report go well. Michelle Williams had shared some audio clips

(58:06):
from checking in with her groupmates Beyond Saying Kelly Roland
ahead of her new book Checking In, and she posted,
look who checked in yesterday with me? The only time
we'll let your eaves drop on our group chats. I
just wanted to check in We just think what's been
going on has been making us more intentional about calling
each other checking in. And I'm loving the smile. Oh,

(58:27):
we love and miss you so much, so proud of me,
I know, so inspirational for both of us, and we
just love watching you become exactly who you are in
the world. See you're impacting and wisdom and your beautiful
advice in your discernment and we're just so proud of you.

(58:51):
Probably include bons from Michelle Williams. Her new book is
out right now, Checking In How Getting Real about Depression
save My life and can save yours, And you can
listen to her checking in podcasts on The Black Effect
iHeartRadio podcast network. Well, these are her safe sisters, and
Kelly Rowland said people should know that along with friendships
there's humility. You have to allow yourself to hold a
safe place in a safe space for all friendships to

(59:13):
be able to check in. That's a beautiful thing. When
you call a friend and you express some things to
them and they say, I know I've been holding space
for you. That term holding space means a lot. I
got some safe sisters the same. That's a good thing.
Envy's one of them. All right. Now, jay Z has
announced that made an America Festival's returning to Philly September

(59:34):

(01:02:25):
Amy Cooper needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with Amy Cooper this morning.
All right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast Club.
Good morning, So breakfast Club, your morning's will never be
the same. Angela yet here. And did you know that
the General Insurance has been saving people money for nearly
sixty years. That's a long time. So if you want
the quality coverage you deserve at prices you can afford,

(01:02:46):
check out the General eight hundred General or visit the
General dot com. Some restrictions apply. This is a miracle,
there is no question. And there are all problems in
this country between police and community. Yes, you are a
donkey to the latest on that police killing of a

(01:03:06):
black man. Now a new developments in the deathly spawshooting ramps. Yes,
it was a really bad day for him and if
this is what he did, and so we are in
a state of emergency. Okay, White supremacist violence is it
always has been the number one threat to otracide. But
I'm also very proud that my wife was white because
the breakfast club bitches right. Please tell me why was

(01:03:28):
I day donkey to day for Thursday, May twenty seven
calls to Amy Cooper. You all remember who Amy Cooper is,
don't you. Amy Cooper is the human jar of Hellman's
who called nine one one last year when she was
walking her dog in Central Park and she adn't counted
a black man named Christian Cooper. Christian Cooper was mining
his business doing his favorite pastime, which is bird watching.
I know, I know, a black man bird watching looks suspicious,

(01:03:51):
but that's your problem because you think black people are monolithic,
and you have a perception of what black people do
and can't do. In bird watching, it's not on your
list of things that black people do. Therefore, you just
assumed he was doing something he had no business doing.
Can we flash back to that encounter between the Cooper's.
Please don't come close to me, sir, I asked me
to stop according Please don't come clost me. Please don't

(01:04:13):
come close. Please please call the cops. There's an African
American man threatening my life. Please tell them whatever you like.
There was an African American man. He's recording me threading
myself and my dog. I'm sorry, I can't I Before

(01:04:34):
we move on, has anybody checked on Amy Cooper's dog
every time I watched that video here, that video, I
think in the fact that she was lynching her dog
and then called the police and hope that they would
lynch Christian. Now, what everyone and their mother just heard
and saw in that video was obvious racial discrimination. I
mean Amy literally emphasized that Christian was black to the police.
She weaponized the police against Christian because she knew how

(01:04:56):
police would react to a white damsel in distress, saying
she's been being attacked by a black man. Now. Amy
was charged with falsely reporting an incident in the third degree.
Of course, the charge was dismissed early this year after
she completed a counseling program intended to educate her on
the harm of her actions. Hopefully it was the same

(01:05:16):
diversity training Coca Cola used where they urged workers to
be less white. Also literally a day after the confrontation,
she apologized for her actions in an interview with NBC
four n y Let's listen and it's unacceptable, you know,
and words are just words, and I can't undo what
I did, but I sincerely and humbly apologize to everyone,
especially to that man. The police. I think of them

(01:05:38):
as protection agents, see, and unfortunately this has caused me
to realize that there are so many people in this
country that don't have that luxury. Apologies are great, Okay,
when you feel you have wrong someone, you have to
take accountability for your actions. We all have missteps. So why,
oh why is Amy Cooper getting Donkey of the Day. Well,
Amy says she's not racist, but what she did was

(01:06:01):
clearly racist. Okay. I think in a situation like that,
it doesn't matter if a person is actually a racist,
because what she did is actually racist, and that's what matters.
And it's her privilege and sense of entitlement that led
her to call the police on Christian in the first place,
and it's her privileged and sensive entitlement that is causing
her to do what she is getting Donkey of the
Day for what is Christian Cooper currently up to. Let's

(01:06:23):
go to ABC seven New York for the report police.
The woman known as Central Park Karen now filing suit
against her former employer. Her name is Amy Cooper. She's
accusing Franklin Templeton of wrongful termination. The financial company fired
Cooper as the outrage over her racist rant hit a
fever pitch a year ago. Right now, Cooper claims they
nurtured the idea that the confrontation was a racial flash point.

(01:06:44):
She also claims there should have been an investigation before
her dismissal. Amy is suing her former employer for wrong
wrongful termination, for racial engender discrimination her laws through the
alleges that she was characterized as a privileged white female.
Karen Amy let brother Lenard and uncle Shlomy the first
to tell you, quite simply, you didn't get fired because

(01:07:05):
you were discriminated against. You got fired for doing the discriminating. Okay,
you falsely claim to police that a black man was
threatening you and your dog. You lied, so your job
fired you for lying. This isn't complicated, Amy. Okay. For
you to turn around and file a lawsuit and feel
like you were wronged in any way is Maynnai's flavored malarkey. Okay,

(01:07:27):
you file lawsuits when you get lied on, not when
you lied on people. Amy. Privilege, privilege has tag privilege. Okay,
this is a prime example of privilege, and as Deshaun
Stokes once said, privilege is not knowing that you're hurting
others and not listening when they tell you that you are.
Please let Kathy Griffin give Amy Cooper the biggest here.

(01:07:48):
Please give this giant jar of male the biggest he haw.
All right, thank you for that. Donkey up the day, Yes,
ma'am up next, ask a ye eight undred five, eight
five one or five one. If you need relationship advice
or any type of advice, call ye now. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice,

(01:08:13):
need personal advice, just need real advice? Call up now
for asking morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Sean
the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for
ask ye. Hello. Who's this? Hey? How's it going? Man?
As David? Hello David, how you guys gonna? Good morning?
Every gone? Good morning? Man? What's your question for you? Bro?

(01:08:35):
Oh my god, I'm gonna through it with my fiance. Man,
it's just ridiculous. Like so the other day we got
up to argument, you know, because I was picking up
for her that you know, heard that bought his brother
new car, and um, you know, we're all outside small
cigarettes or whatever like that, and um, she you know,

(01:09:00):
she told her dad she had to take the baby
because our son because he baby sits, and the next
day he went I didn't think to put it baby,
and she got upset and I told her like, no,
you were outside listen and you know that what the
situation was going to be. And I we just have
a huge argument. Well, it sounds like you all have

(01:09:22):
other issues and that's why you had a big argument
about this. Yeah, but like I like, I'm clueless. I
don't even know what the heart like. And every time,
you know, she's always telling me that I have a
bad attitude and I got to go to therapy. But
now I'm trying to realize it's not me, you know
what I mean, that's her. It sounds like you both
need therapy. But let me ask you this. Okay, how

(01:09:44):
old is the baby? He won? One year and three months?
And then what was she like this before she had
the baby? No? Not brilliant. You think that perhaps you
know these hormonal changes and maybe she's had the baby
and you know a lot of people have a lot

(01:10:05):
of women go through a lot emotionally once they have
a child. Yeah, but like, how don't I deal with
it because you know, like we live with her dad
at the moment, and she's always telling me, you know,
we gotta move out about but she gotta puts everything
at my field, you know, like to tree. You know,
like I didn't help too, right, I mean, well, why

(01:10:28):
don't you guys agree to both to counting because it
feels like you have issues communicating with each other. And
I'm sure like the dynamics of your relationship have changed.
You guys had this baby. I'm guessing, like you know,
during the pandemic, y'all have been kind of at home
a lot more um as well. It's also not easy
living with a parent, and just it's hard enough to
deal with just each other, but then when there's also

(01:10:50):
a parent there living in the house with you, sometimes
that also piles on. Yeah, I just like I'm just
trying to predicament where yeah, like and you know, now
she tells me she's gonna put me on child support
and you know, she don't love me anymore and stuff
like that over a little argument, you know. So I

(01:11:10):
don't know if it might be some postpartum that she
doesn't even realize that she's dealing with really yeah, and
that's a real thing and sometimes women can't identify it.
But postpartum depression affects a lot of a lot of women.
And so I would m hm. So she's a type
of like she won't hey, you know, but she she's

(01:11:35):
a type like she you know, she she won't listen
to everybody else that like she's always right, everybody else's
always wrong, like you know, she don't she don't, you know,
throw up and just realize, like she'll never say sorry,
you know, you know what. And that's interesting, it's it's
interesting that you say that. I want to say a
couple of things here. A lot of times it's hard

(01:11:56):
to have a discussion with somebody and own up to
your mistakes when they're not doing it right. And so
a lot of what you're saying to me is about
what she's doing. You're not really talking about what you're doing. Also,
I know that both of you are contributing to the
issues in your relationship, but a lot of times we
blame the other person instead of also looking at ourselves
and instead of saying you do this, you don't ever

(01:12:17):
think you're wrong, you don't ever apologize. You also have
to say, well, it bothers me that when we get
into these arguments, you know, this is how it goes,
because really it's how it affects you. But you also
have to think about things that you do and how
it affects her. And it feels like both of you
need help. And if you're saying she needs to get
therapy and she's saying you need to get therapy, I'm
gonna say both of y'all would benefit from some type

(01:12:40):
of counseling or therapy to learn how you guys can
talk to each other more effectively. Oh no, I understand
for you. I'm telling you like I'm Anna type, Like
if I'm wrong, I'll say it in an arpy that
I'm wrong, you know what I mean? Like like I'm
that type of dude, Like if if there's something that
she don't like and then I leave, but tell them

(01:13:01):
one like if there's something I don't make, you know,
I'll tell them a nice way like eight days, you know,
like you know you shouldn't do it, then maybe she's
trying to do it a different way, or you know,
maybe should you offer opfer solutions? You're saying you offer solutions? Yeah, yeah,
and then she never just rocks with it, you know
what I mean. And it's very frustrating because now it's

(01:13:24):
just like I gotta just pretty much shuck it up
and let her do like whatever. She you know, wear
a little attitude and all that. You know, do you
love her? Do you want to be with her? Do
you want to get married? I'm not gonna lie after
the because she sent me some real nasty text like
my my brother, you know, he he's like a dead

(01:13:46):
beat brother, you know what I mean, Like he got
three kids and you don't talk to them, you know,
And she takes me, uh that she that I shouldn't
how to be a dead beat father. When she rolls
stuff like that, it's just like, yeah, she's trying to
hurt you, you know, right. Yeah, I think you guys.

(01:14:11):
I think you guys as as new parents too, both really, uh,
you're going to have to raise this child together no
matter what and deal with each other. And I think
you do need the proper tools to be able to
do that. Regardless. I think you have to let her know,
and I'm sure you do how it hurts your feelings
when she says things like that to you. But I
also feel like it could be some postpartum depression, and

(01:14:33):
that's something that is a really common thing that doesn't
even get diagnosed, And so I think it would benefit
for you guys to learn how to do that and
and and decide if you want to continue in this relationship.
But no matter what, you are going to have to
learn how to deal with each other in a better way. Well,
what do you think I should just kind of like
suck it off? I definite, I don't think you should

(01:14:58):
ever quote suck it up, But I do you think
that you need to address these issues as best as
you can head on. I do think you guys need
to get a recommendation for a therapist so that you
guys can go into couples therapy together, because it's not
working with y'all just talking to each other the way
that you have been. And then I think you have
some decisions to make to see if this can work,
if it can move forward. But I also feel like,

(01:15:20):
you know, her body just went through a lot hormonally
things that she probably doesn't even understand. If she's acting
different now than she used to, I think that deserves
some attention as well. Yeah, well I do appreciate it.
And another thing, I'm sorry for being so long. But
another thing like and I'm in the predicament, like if

(01:15:41):
if we don't make up, you know, she's gonna kick me,
and my parents don't want to take me back. You know.
It's like I'm gonna be homeless, you know what i mean,
just living a magar. And that's what scares me almost
like you know, she talks like, yeah, I'm not gonna
see what I'm man. You know, I'm not gonna have
a place to live it and she shouldn't be threatening.

(01:16:03):
She should not be threatening you with that. Yeah, that's
not fair. Talk about it, and it's like, yes, it's
running out fair, Like I just wish that I can
you know, when the scratch off. Okay, you don't have
any money, you have a job, I got two jobs,
but I just bought a car. I want finance the car,

(01:16:25):
and I'm playing off eight thousand dollars credit card right now.
You know, if this credit card was paid off, that
I would definitely shave a thousand dollars to check everything's
going towards the credit card. And that that's pretty much
right understand. So well, I'm sure financially. That's a lot

(01:16:45):
of stress for you guys in the house as well.
And I can tell right now just from hearing this
that also plays a role, you know. So it's a
lot of different things that you guys are dealing with.
So I just want to encourage you to try to
work it out if you can, to seek some profess
I should know, help, and to learn how to speak
to each other better. Don't use the words never or
always when you get into an argument, and always talk

(01:17:07):
about well I just said always, and talk about how
things make you feel instead of being accusatory. And that's
the advice that I can give you for now. Ask
ye all right, eight minutes with ye eight hundred five
eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice,
call us now. It's a breakfast local morn there's some
real advice with Angela ye kids, ask ye morning. Everybody

(01:17:29):
is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomae Nicay. We are the
breakfast club. But in the middle of ask ye, hello,
who's this? Hello, Hey, Hey, good morning. My name is
NEAs Hey Nee. What's your question for you? Um? My
question is it's a little volgar um. Last year when
the coba first started my kids. I caught my kids

(01:17:50):
doing a sex act on each other who I asked
them where they got it from, and they told me
they got it from there there and I had been
letting their dad get them for Like the Wow, how
old are that when I brought it to um at
that time, they were eight and six. Oh my boy
and girl. Two boys, two girls. So they're both boys,
both boys. Boy. Wow. So with that, like, it's beeny

(01:18:13):
years since he talked to me or talked to him,
which I find fine. But today if my oldest son's birthday,
so he reached out to me yesterday and he's like, UM,
I feel like you're bitter. You're not letting me see
my kids. You're not letting me, You're not let me
do that. I told him why I'm not letting him
see them, and he's like, oh, I would never do that,
But I have my own instances because we were together

(01:18:34):
for five years. I know he would do that. So, UM,
I'm just trying to find out if I'm doing the
right thing by keeping my kids away from him. Can
I put more question? Can I ask one question? They
said they learned it from their dad. What do you
mean they learned it from their dad. Um, My youngest
son told me, he's like, I'm a daddy told us
that it's okay to do this to each other together.

(01:18:56):
I bring yourself. I went, definitely I did. It was
a whole scene. It was the whole scene. Like when
I found out I packed my fee to the car.
I pulled up to his career barefoot. I'm from Florida,
Like I pulled up. I was ready to hell. No,
it was the whole Still when they got there, they

(01:19:19):
were like, okay, one, we need you, mam to calm down.
We understand where you're at, but we need you to
be calm because we don't want to take you for,
you know, being hotspot. And they're like, okay. The next day,
we need your children to come in for an interview
to uh, to talk and see what's going on. The
thing about my kids is we're afraid of your dad
because they watched their dad likely like bloody. So they're

(01:19:41):
more or less like, okay, we'll protect Mama and we'll
just kind of be like okay, it's it's not a
big deal. It's okay. When we talk about it amongst
our shoves. UM they're like, yo, Mama, Getty says this,
and that is you birds at us and Getty do this.
So you know that already. Now tell me in your gut,
what is it telling you cannot have your children around
this man? Yeah, I've been saying no from the gate, nope, grandparents,

(01:20:06):
the old grandparents, and like no, no, that's probably nope, nope, nope.
And not only should he not be around them, you
have to make sure that you are trying to repair
the harm that he's done to your kids as well,
and pay extra close attention to let them know that
they can talk to you about any and everything year

(01:20:28):
and make sure monitoring their their internet. I monitor internet.
I monitored their songs, I monitor their friends, I monitor everything.
It is not because I want to do this, because
I feel like now I hack, you know, and they
obviously did not understand what they were doing. They were
and who knows what else happens when their fathers around.
So I just would never feel comfortable having any child.

(01:20:49):
I don't think any children should be around that. Matter
of fact, you need to go see a judge and
get a lawyer and just make sure that he can't
do anything to try to get those kids might too.
I'm like, yeah, therapy is definitely in our lineup. We
just moved from Florida because I just felt like we
needed to move completely. We packed it up and we moved.
So now in this new place, I'm trying to get

(01:21:09):
them shut up with therapy and um where they feel
more comfortable discussing certain things because, um, most of the
time I was working while he was with them, so
they're probably are things that I don't know still and right,
I feel what I feel like, you are doing all
the right things that you're supposed to be doing. You shouldn't.
I feel no guilt. He has no privileges when it

(01:21:30):
comes to your children. Thank you, your kids, thank you.
They're definitely my children, had them natural. They're all just
this conversation is a little too casual for my liking.
Got kids doing sex acts on each other, father beating
on his ex like jeezz christ. I just don't understand
how we casually discussed trauma like that. Yeah, you around him,

(01:21:51):
he did. I walk around with a with a pretty
bright energy. I have a really good energy only because
that's not going to make me a narrow baby. I
do have the scars I'm able to tell other people
what I've been through, so they can be like, okay, yeah,
like they know what to look for us because I
went through five years like pregnant and not pregnant, getting
like beat drags, all types of stuff. So it's more

(01:22:14):
or less like the learning experience for me. And now
I can teach other people, and now I know what
to look for for myself as well. I just feel
like he needs to be in jail. I'm saying you
so much to leave under the jail, should have been there.
But every time he gets there, just parents tell them
out right, Well, listen, let's just make sure judge, lawyer,
restraining order, everything you got to do to make sure

(01:22:35):
he's not around. Cool, I mean, thank y'all. All right, right, Wow,
her energy is amazing. My goodness, ask ye eight hundred
five you know what and and this has nothing to
do it but do it that. But that's why I
never let my kids sleep at people's houses. But that's
their dad. You gotta think. Yeah, but I'm saying in

(01:22:55):
her head right, originally that's yeah. I guess you're right,
But that is the rest, not other people. That is
the reason why I don't let my kids go to
anybody's house, spend the night at anybody's house. I don't
really let anybody watch my kids, just for that, and
it doesn't have to be, you know that, just don't.
I don't trust anybody around my kids. And that's anxiety.
But that's just who I am, you know, And just
I just think about how guys are always like, oh,

(01:23:16):
she need to let us see your kids, like, because
we just had a whole issue about this the other
day for asking and that situation that man should not
be around those child He shouldn't be around any children,
definitely not his own. All right, Well, we got rumors
on the way, yes, and let's talk about the Shop.
A new season of The Shop is coming. It's the
fourth season, and we'll tell you who some of these
huge guests are going to be for the new season.
All right, we'll get into it next. It's the Breakfast Club.

(01:23:37):
Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is the rumor Report
with Angela. Ye. Well, The Shop Uninterrupted is returning on
HBO and HBO Max tomorrow and some of the new

(01:23:59):
people on this sea in joining Lebron and Maverick are
going to be jay Z, Bad, Bunny w NBA Star,
that's jay Z that's jay z Okay Nakagwi McKay and
marketing executive Paul Rivera. So a lot of things being discussed.
Here's the trailer. I got two teenage boys. Do they

(01:24:20):
care that I'm not gonna enter spec where I'm with
people that I don't align with. I'm a shy person,
but at the same dying I'm yam. Being confident is
taking chances and being failing. Did it get to a
point where it was so zoned out that you didn't
see anybody In the beginning, I used to get on
State and just forget all my lyrics. Well, there you go,

(01:24:45):
stay tomorrow, yep. I know y'all can't wait. All right now.
Hillary Clinton, who was talking to two q and non
believers in Amazon's debunking Barat. She actually sent them a
video after they discussed some of the rumors and things
that QAnon spreads about Hillary Clinton. The episode is called
Hillary Clinton and Blood Libel, and that is referencing the

(01:25:06):
anti Semitical lie that Jews drink the blood of Christians children.
And here is what they had to say. Clinton's are
very evil. Supposedly they torture these kids, It gets their
adrenaline flowing in their body. Then they take that out
of their dream dream of limbs, and then they drink
their blood or that. I've heard about things like that,

(01:25:29):
all right, So it's too. Quan On supported Jim Russell
and Jerry Holloman, and they believe that Hillary Clinton and
other politicians are somehow secretly bloodthirsty child torturers. Now, Hillary
Clinton did send a response, I know that you're not alone.
It's hurtful. I'll be really honest with you. It's hurtful
not just to me and my family, but to my

(01:25:50):
friends and on other people who know that this is
not just false but painfully falls. So, just as one
American to another, I hope that we can start trying
to find some common ground again and overcome all those
forces trying to divide us and put us into little
boxes apart from each other. I think it's a compliment

(01:26:11):
when people make up wild conspiracy theories about you in
that way that means you have achieved something so unbelievable
to them, something that they think is not humanly possible.
So you either have to sell your soul or drink
the blood of children. It's movies to get it well,
I think she said it was hurtful though it is,
and of course they did brush off her message and
double down on the fact that they also just cannot
stand here. But there is another way to look at

(01:26:32):
it. It It is a compliment when people got to make
up that those type of wild theories just to you know,
make themselves believe. Why why you're in the position you're in. Yeah,
because you're in an illuminati? Right, yes, very much so?
All right now, Giherbo has entered a not guilty plea
in the Wire for Our case. He was charged with
a lying to a federal agent about his relationship with
one of his alleged co conspirators in a federal for

(01:26:53):
Our case and he is pleading not guilty. On the
flip side. And some great news he and Talana have
had their baby. Nice congrats today. Congrats, So congratulations to
Herbal and Taliana. They had that little baby. All right now.
Paul Parris has some things to say at ESPN. He
wrote on Twitter to them yesterday at ESPN, I don't
need you. I got at ethereum Max. I made more

(01:27:16):

how my daddy typed too. That's just how some older
people being on Instagram. But what's the problem he said? Congrats?

(01:33:27):
I mean, you know what it felt like. Congrats dot
dot dot, but you don't have six and then the
congrats can go if you leave the dot dot dots
