I'm not gonna lie. I'm exhausted today. I've been having a long week. But shout out to everybody who came out

to my book club yesterday. You know, every month I do this book club. I try to support of black authors because there's not a lot of outlets for authors to support themselves and to promote when they have a book coming out. So I do this book club, and this is the first time I did it at the Schaumberg, which is in Harlem, and it's part of the New York Public Library Hole ecosystem, so I'm also an ambassador for the New York Public Library. So it was like

my first situation with them. Nice. It was really great, and thank you to Divine Franklin who came out. He's gonna be on the Breakfast Club this morning. He's gonna be joining us this morning in a little bit, so we'll kick it with him. You know, yesterday I did nothing but sleep. I've been tired for nice from Atlanta. I was in Atlanta for the last four days from Super Bowl. I was looking at some property, so I was just tired. So yesterday when I got home, I

said hello to the kids. I was hoping London with a home working. The next thing I knew, it was four o'clock, any time for me to get up. So I don't know if I helped the right. I don't know if I helped the because you had to make sentences, so I'm hoping the sentences are right. Well, look, I went to bed, I got home at like ten thirty. And then I have another book club, well a book of launch for Anti Tea Time and she wrote to Hate You Give and she has another book on the

come up. So that book is like four hundred something pages. Wow, And so I was trying to make sure I got through it. So I stayed up trying to read last night until I fell asleep. And then I also have officially launched my drink fresh Juice dot com, which is my subscription based press juices. So if you go to drink fresh Juice dot com, it's official. Finally. It's taking a long time to get it together. I thought it was going to launch in November, then December, but it's

finally ready to go. Everything approved and it's all fresh natural press juices. It's vegan, all of that. Nothing added to it. Well, congratulations, thank you. Did you see them? I can just guess he talked about building a wall, talked about building a wall, and he said he's gonna build the wall. I'm sure that's what he said. Well, don't worry. On Front page News, I do have some of those recaps because I was trying to watch that

this morning as I was getting ready for work. So whatever you missed, we have some of those recaps for you this morning. All right. We'll get into all that, and don't forget the Vrone Frank when we'll be joining us in a little bit as well, So don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning, morning, everybody is dj M v Angela. Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are to

breakfast clubles's getting some front page news. Yes, we're talking about Oh, do you have any sports now, there's no sports, okay, Charlomagne, good morning, all right. We're talking about Donald Trump State of the Union yesterday. Now he is asking for unity in the government because you know, the government shut down. It has only been delayed until next week, so hopefully they can come to some sort of resolution so that people can stay working and stay getting paid for their work.

Here's what he had to say. We must choose between great yes or grid luck, results or resistance, vision or vengeance, incredible progress or pointless destruction. Tonight, I ask you to choose greatness, all right. Now. He also, of course, has talked about border security. Here's what he says about border security. In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall, but the proper wall never got built.

I will get it built. Congress has ten days left to pass a bill that will fund our government, protect our homeland, and secure our very dangerous southern border. I have ordered another three thousand, seven hundred and fifty troops to our southern border to prepare for this tremendous onslaught. All right, Now he goes on to talk about these Chinese tarriers, because you know, a lot of people were discussing the economy and how that's going to affect people.

Here here's what he said about these taxes before. He said, so if he doesn't do this in the next ten days, what happens in ten days? Set it back down, because you know it's only temporary that it's not shut down until I think the fifteenth. I'm not shut it down again, but it's possible. Yeah, you never know with this guy. Here's what he had to say about these Chinese tariffs.

We are now making it clear to China that after years of targeting our industries and stealing our intellectual property, the theft of American jobs and wealth has come to an end. Therefore, we recently imposed tariffs on two hundred and fifty billion dollars of Chinese goods, and now our treasury is receiving billions and billions of dollars. Another thing that Donald Tumps talked about in his State of the Union last night was North Korea. Here's what he has

to say. If I had not been elected President of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, being a major war with North Korea. Arch work remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong On is a good one. Chairman, Kim and I will meet again on February twenty seventh and twenty eighth in Vietnam.

Donald Trump in the State of the Union also goes on to talk about here was something good that everyone shared for women in Congress, and exactly one century after Congress passed the Constitutional Amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in Congress than at any time before. Well, that was one of the good things that has come out from people being more aware of what's going on and understanding that they have to

make sure that we put ourselves in positions. I thought the State of the Union was solid. I mean, the bars weren't immaculate. He's no Baraca. No, you know, well he stuck to the script. No me, but you know he was good. Now, here's what Van Jones thought about Donald Trump State of the Union. I saw this as a psychotically incoherent speech with cookies and dog poop. He tries to put together in the same speech these warm,

kind things about human hereanism and caring about children. At the same time he is demonizing people who are immigrants in a way that was a pop all right. He definitely, uh was standing firm on his stance about illegal immigrants. He's never backing down from that. Now, that's not Here's what else Van Jones had to see about the State of the Union. That's okay. So that's the only Aldio we got, all right. I think Van is upset because Van didn't get a shot out when Donald Trump took

full credit for the first first step back. You think that's all that was, Yeah, I think so. And he said, when you talked about alex Marie Johnson, he said, my friends didn't give kim O Kanye a shot out either. That Kanye's man he might beat this morning. Ain't getting no shot out.

The wrapper was in the Flaming Hot Dorrito's commercial for this Super Bowl. I stopped full over my nachos, waking like a topco drum roost fingers, I'm a hot chester Man. And then come on, man, I'm gonna need some need another outfit fling and I'm

magan one into the clime. Am I talking? Well? Chester Cheetah didn't like that Lord Wayne need to be beef with a chance to rapping for copywriter Frenchman. He sounded just like Lott who stole Little whe his whole style, delivery, everything on that. He definitely does sound like Little Wayne and that. Now Chester Cheetah had an issue as well, Chester Cheetah, what else that you don't know? Chester Cheetah, Oh, I got this for you, because now there's some beef,

The least you could do is a salute freeway'm angela, yean, that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye Now when we come back with our front

page news, we're talking about your president. Yes, your president had had stated at the Union I know your eyes were glued to the television last night. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. Don't move. It's Breakfast Club Corning. Good morning. Everybody is DJ mvy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. All the Wizards fans out there watching the Wizards. I know you might be a little upset John Wall. It looks like he will be out

twelve months. They're saying that he slipped in his house and he are eruptured in his achilles, so he will be out for twelve months. Yeah, that sucks, that's very that's horrible. Es. Basically, to slip in your house, I'd rather, like, you know, slip on the court, like you want to get hurt in the line. Of duty. You know, you don't get hurt at all, You don't want get hurt at all, but if you do, you want to get hurt in the line of duties, just walking around your crib.

Because now I'm sure people are questioning him, like, oh, how do we know he really fell in his heart that motorcycle? Was he really doing exactly? Was he doing something that where we don't have to pay him his money right even though I think he's guaranteed regards. Yeah,

what else were talking about? Well, yesterday was Donald Trump's second State of the Union address, and it's also just weeks after the longest shutdown that we've had in the United States history, and we also have another funding laps coming up, so we don't know whether or not there's going to be an the shutdown anyway. In the midst of all that, Donald Trump had a State of the Union address, and here are some of the things that he said. He wants there to be unity within the government.

We must choose between greatness or grid luck, results or resistance, vision or vengeance, incredible progress or pointless destruction. Tonight I ask you to choose greatness, all right. In addition to that, he of course had to push home his point about border security. In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall, but the proper wall

never got built. I will get it built. Congress has ten days left to pass a bill that will fund our government, protect our homeland, and secure our very dangerous southern border. I have ordered another three thousand, seven hundred and fifty troops to our southern border to prepare for this tremendous onslaught. You know what I'd like to know about border security? What do they have now? Like? What's there now? Like what they do have security there? Now?

It's not a wall yet, they have security though, Yeah, they have thousands of people at the borders all right now. He also had one point that everybody I think can agree on, and that was the point about women in Congress. And exactly one century after Congress passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in Congress than at any time before. Well, that's good news, right, But a lot of that is

the reaction to Donald Trump being president. Um. Now, Van Jones had this to say about Donald Trump's speech. I saw this as a as a psychotically incoherent speech with cookies and dog poop. He tries to put together in the same speech these warm, kind things about humanitarianism and caring about children. At the same time he is demonizing uh people who are immigrants in a way that was pelo. Okay, Van, you keep that rhetoric up. There ain't gonna be no

second step, all right. In fact, that first step you took, we're gonna tell you to take that one back. All right. All right, well that is your front page news. But by the way, I thought trump speech was solid. I don't believe the word he says, but I thought it was solid. I was never wrote it. Oh yeah, I wasn't expecting much, and I mean he had extra time to prepare because you know, he had the whole government shutdown and whatnot. But I thought it was cool. Wasn't

as entertaining as I would have actually liked. To be honest, Trump, I think he's one of the best to end up comics in the world today. I didn't really you know, he laughed, We didn't chuckle. Super Bowl was better. I didn't watch the Super Bowl. I don't know that. My daughter sheilean competition. All right, all right, Well, when we come back off of Pastor Davone Franklin will be joining us.

Franklin shout out to divine Franklin. Man. I was with him last night, A year with him today, right, Oh yes, I gotta fly to Chicago for the day and we're doing an event. Don't ask me anything else because I don't know. I don't. I just know I'm in Chicago for the day. I'm coming an event with Dvan Franklin mental health and you know, growing as a man, stuff like that. All right, well, we'll kick it with him when we come back, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.

Good morning morn and everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, My man, Devon Franklin is here. Good morning, yo man, Good morning, good morning. How are you feeling. He's got a new book called The Truth About Men, What Men and Women need to Know. Can I read some of these chapter g before we started?

Oh my gosh, here we got our men really dogs Chapter one, Beware of the Dog, Chapter two, Except the dog, Chapter three, Master the Dog, Chapter four, Don't feed the Dog. Chapter five, claiming Territory, Chapter six, Discipline the Dog, Safe Space Chapter eight, Repair the Damage. What are you saying about the brothers divon? What are you saying about us? Man? I'm saying that we got to do our work. What

I'm saying is that every man struggles. And so when you look at this, of course, I'm not calling men dogs at all. You know, I put in the introduction men are not dogs, but we can behave like one when we allow the dog in us. And I believe that every man has a dog. And that's an analogy. It's a metaphor for lust, and that's a selfish impulse for professional sexual, financial gain by any means necessary, even

if those means are detrimental. So when you read all those chapters, I use this analogy that if we as men can master the dog, which means putting love and control of lust. Love is sacrificial, meaning love of self, love of God, love of the woman in our life. Lust is selfish, It demands to be fed whenever it

starts to quote unquote bark. But when we as men put love and control of lust, selflessness and control of selfishness, then we begin to learn how to master this thing that all men have that you cannot eradicate, but you can master it. So all those chapter titles are just steps on how to do it. You basically, let me tell y'all something you do, let me tell you both something? Yeah, absolutely, right, Okay,

trying to tell right right. I feel like, you know, I've heard Minister Frackon say that you have to turn the dog around. You have to be where God where divine beings. Yeah, you know, so you have to turn that dog around were God's Yes, well it's it's true. But so often, as men, we become so accustomed to the ways of the dog in our life, you know, selflessness, putting our own needs above everyone else, that it becomes hard to be aware that instead of God controlling our lives,

it's the dog controlling our life. So the beginning part is awareness. Hey, I gotta look in the mirror and say, you know what, I gotta be better, yes, and I gotta do better. And I got to become more accountable and responsible for my behavior as a man. You even talk about writing this book, right, what even made you do this? Maria Schreiber, You said you had an interview when she said you need to write a book about this, but it was a lot for you to have to

be introspective about issues that you've had within yourself. Yeah, you know. I mean I didn't want to write this book, you know, because I believe as men, we don't like to look in the mirror, and I don't like to look in the mirror. And I didn't have to write this book. It required me to be transparent, and I can't encourage everybody else to be transparent if I'm not going to be parent. So, Maria Shriver, you prompted me

because I had pitched her what this idea was. She said, you need to do it now, But the idea was already there. And one of the reasons why I wanted to write this book is because of pain. And I believe, as men, we inflict so much pain on the lives of women, and women are in so much pain relative to our behavior. And one of the things that was

very personal to me was my father. My father died when I was nine years old of a heart attack when he was thirty six, at thirty six years old, and so, you know, we grew up he was an alcoholic, but it wasn't until my teenage years where I found a picture of him, my mother and a female family member sitting on a bed, and my mother was looking distraught, but my father and that female family member were looking very happy. And I said, what's going on here? Why

is my mother in so much pain? Come to find out, my father and that female family member had an affair. And so I began to say, well, wait a minute. If my father, you know, had an affair with someone else in my family and cause that kind of pain to my mother, what does that say about me? And I began to ask the question can men be faithful? Can we? And when I would ask the women in my family, they would say, of all men cheap And

so as a kid, I'm like, is this true? I said, well, what do I have to do to become the one percent? And what I began to realize, it's part of becoming the one percent, was acknowledging that Yo, I'm part of the problem too. If I don't do my work, if I don't recognize I have this thing in me that wants what it wants whatever it wants it, If I don't learn to master that, I then no matter how, no matter how much I love my wife and I love her too, death all right, and I am completely faithful.

But if I think that I don't have to do my work one day, I will do something that will cause the same pain that my mother had in my wife's lives. If I don't do my work. You have no idea how much you preach it to the choiry. Now, like I've been with my woman for twenty years, I've been We've both done dirt over the past twenty years.

But I've been completely faithful since like twenty sixty. And I made that choice for that exact same reason, because I was, like, I do not want to cause my family the same pain that my father called my mom and our family. There it is, man, there it is, and and so much of us as men, you know, our struggle is so much directly related to our fathers.

And a lot of us, especially in communities of color, were raised without fathers, or the fathers that we had may not have been everything we want, and so a lot of times, you know, especially I know for me, you know, I grew up with a lot of brokenness because society says this is what this is what men are supposed to be. You're supposed to be strong, you're

supposed to be tough. You're not supposed to cry, and supposed to get a lot of vagina, right, But and if you don't do any of those things, most of the time growing up we're met with violence. So what do we learn? Do not talk, don't communicate, suppress, But anything we suppress we empower to destroy us. That's why this lusk can get so strong because we're not talking about it, We're not being honest about it. And what does it do. It finds it a way to come

out in the most detrimental and usually destructive ways. And a lot of times women are on the receiving end of this, and a lot of times women are programmed to think, well, I have to deal with this type of behavior from my man, because like you said, and women really to leave that. So they're like, well, at least he treats me good in every other way. We are getting this number? Well, he said, he asked women

women in their heads. If you ask women, they think on men cheat, Yeah, And so like we've had this discussion many times on live services, women like, well, men always cheat anyway, I don't know any man who doesn't cheat. So it kind of makes it normalize that type of behavior where that's just what it is well well, And that's one of the reasons why I wanted to write the book, because the book is not just for men. It's for women too, because women are dealing with something

and dealing with someone they do not understand. And so if you don't understand something, your odds of becoming successful with it are very, very low. So I wrote this book to illuminate truth about men so women can get it. But when a woman makes the decision that I will live less than what I believe i'm worth just to be with a man and accept him however he is, I believe that one of the reasons I wrote this book is for women to read it and say, you

know what, I'm gonna stop today. I'm gonna be I'm gonna challenge him on his behavior even if he leaves me guess what he's gonna leave anyway, because today begins a day of respect and a day of love. And I'm not just going to be a doormat for a man's ways. And when I talk about in the book, men need women to master this dog. We need you talk about you've been with your one for twenty years, I guarantee you or I would not be the men that we are if we didn't have the love of

a woman in our life. But that's a love of a woman that we allow into our process. I think sometimes women think they can master the man's dog form. You can't do that, But the love of a woman can help. But it starts with respect. And as men, when the woman in our life doesn't respect us, she allows us just to do whatever we want. And even though men don't like to be told what to do, we do need to be held accountable. All right. We have more author and pastor Devon Franklin. When we come back,

don't move. It's to breakfast club. Go morning, Jay Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. We have author and pastor Devone Franklin in the building. Yee. For some people, I will say this, they feel like in a relationship you have to go through so many things to get to that point. Like you have to go through if you've been together for a while, the lying, they're cheating, they're breaking up, they're getting back together for

your relationship to be strong. How do you know when it's time to say okay, it's time to walk away, this isn't working, or it's time for us to work on each other, because this can be rectified. You know, I get this question a lot, and I wish that the process with men was less messy. You know, a lot of it has to do with our brokenness and a lot of it has to do with how we're raised. So what you're are articulating is a truth of many relationships that there's a lot of mess before you can

get to a place where everything is good. What I will say is that sometimes the only thing a man will understand, and this dog and a man will understand is pain and the pain of the absence of the woman that he loves. And sometimes that work gott to walk away, you know what I'm saying. Sometimes women stay

too close and you gotta step away. And let me tell you, the man who really has the master and is in touch with the master in themselves, when the woman they love steps away, it's a catalyst for change. And so that absence, and this is one of the things a lot of times in my experience, women come to me for counseling. They don't want to do this, They don't want to take a step away and I say, listen, I know you love him, right, but sometimes the best

way to love him is from afar. I love you so much that I can't stay here and be treated less than I know I'm worth. Now, you say in the book, I've been in the church my whole life, and I can say that no one, and I mean no one teaches men how to deal with our urges. It's kind of mind blowing. We can talk about the fruits of the spirit, how to pray, how to preach, and how to sing praises, but rarely do we get real talk about how to deal with the dog. Yeah. Yeah.

When I confronted my father for cheating back in the day, and you know, my father said, my father looked at me dead. My eye goes you only got one girlfriend? He said, no way, he said, one day you gonna understand. Wow. So in my mind he played, he started making me feel like something was wrong with me, Yeah, because I only had one girl. Yeah, And then and just expand on that. Then you also talk about your own transparency, and you said, after I marry Megan, I caught myself

looking at another woman. It was very casual, and I almost did it without things. Then I caught myself and thought, what are you doing. I had no desire for this woman. I was not interested in her in the least, but I found myself checking her out almost instinctively. Let's talk about let's talk this is really important. So the first part, you know, I was raising the church. In the church, a lot of times there's a culture of suppression because

we don't talk about. Okay, everybody gets horny, everybody has urges. How do you deal with that? No matter how holy, no matter how safe saft, if I feel the Holy he goes any of us may be, it doesn't stop what happens in our flesh. So in the church a lot of times it's just like, don't talk about it. But anything we don't talk about it's gonna grow. So I wanted to say, listen, let's take the veil. Let's start speaking this truth. And so the whole point about Megan,

you know, which blew me away. It's like, hey, I thought, oh I'm getting married. It's gonna put the dog to sleep. For a couple months, I was good, but then all of a sudden, I talk about that in the book, you know, I started looking at this other woman. I'm like, what's wrong with me? I don't want to be being unfaithful to my wife. So I first had to get to the place where I was like, yo, I got this thing in me. I wish I didn't have this dog. It's here. Now what am I going to do about it? Now?

Once I acknowledge, I can actually begin the process of mastery so that when a thought or feeling comes on me, I don't you know, get crazy, I'm like, okay, cool, it's there, but I'm not going to let that thought grow. The guilt of it, like knowing you did something wrong, you bring that energy into the house and then you start looking at her side with it's like what is she doing? Rush? It's us? Yeah, yeah, no, that that guilt.

But but this is but I think you know, Charlottagne, you're you're at a point where you are focused on mastery, and a lot of men yet aren't there. And that's why I wanted to write this book to say, hey, you know what we have to become to it. We have to get to a place where that guilt bothers us. So first of all, it's having enough awareness where you begin to say, hey, if somebody was doing this to my mother, or my sister or my daughter, would I

accept it as a man. And if the answer is no, then as men, we should not perpetuate that same pain on someone else's sister, mother, or daughter, right because that guilt is so powerful When we love somebody and we've seen that hurt in their eyes, we never want to

see it again, and that guilt can be convicting. Oh you, when you started doing your work, you know, was gonna wait until marriage for sex didn't when I got in senior year in high school, and I pretty much was not celibate for about four or five years, you know, while I was in college, and then coming out of college, I decided to be celibate. But even though I was celibate,

I still wasn't a good dater. And I really didn't start doing my work probably until my late twenties when I had this vision, you know, it was literally like this vision from God where I was at the altar of my wedding and the minister said, looked behind you, And when I looked behind me down the aisle where all the women I had dated, but they were all cut open and their bodies were littered down the aisle, and God said, do you think it was worth all of their hearts to get here? And that vision my

late twenties. It startled me so much. I said, I've got to do it. I've got to put more intention in my dating. If I'm not serious, it's about her, I've got to tell her. What's interesting is this is the celibacy, right you said, actually helped you flourish your career, absolutely because you're focused and discipline. If a man can get disciplined in this area of sex, there is nothing

the man cannot do. Now, I want to ask you about pornography, because you address this in the book, and um, you feel that pornography is harmful to relationships, and some people clearly do get addicted to porn and that's harmful. But do you think that casually watching porn man listen shouldn't be done. I don't think it should be done because in the book, I have a whole thing about the one you feed, and so within us you have to feed the master of the dog. I call vice

dog food. I call virtue soul food. And I would put porn in the category of dog food because that's what it is. It's vice. And also I have this fascinating. Uh. You know, research that I came across about Japan and Japan they the pornography problem is so extreme in Japan that when they bring men and women, young men and women together in a social setting, they don't even engage

one of those. So as a result, the birth rate is declining because they are so fixated on these fantasy worlds that that's how they are becoming accustomed to realistic dolls and everything. Yeah, so I do believe that that porn is dangerous. I do believe that even a casual Yeah, it's like, yeah, you eat, you eat bad food. Oh, you know, well once in a while. No, I think that it can be a slippery slope. And the reality is,

of course everybody deals with that differently. But I would say as a rule, that's why I put in the book that is something to be really looked at and to be managed so that you don't get into a situation where it manages you. So you can manage it, you just can't overdo it, like is it because I think some people learn a lot of tricks from porn. But here's the thing, but this is also where the dog dog runs wild, because you do you look at something that is not real. Big penises not real. You

can't do it. So a lot of times you see these images and you think, oh, I'll learned some tricks. But what it does is it creates an unrealistic expectation of what intimacy really looks like, and that can be destructive, especially when you're trying to practice that intimacy with the Now I was a sex has a sex that's happening. What about masturbation? Can you talk about talk about that as well? I talk about that as well. It's something

you got it you really got to look at. Because again I put that in the category of feeding the dog, right, and anytime the dog is well fed and makes it harder for the master and a man to be strong enough. That masturvation was healthy. Listen, I'm not as tranquilizing, okay when at the time psychologist, but that's why I put manage it. You know, everybody has to wrestle with that thing. Everybody. I wrestle with it, definitely. I'm not saying that my

wife man with me. I wrestle with it. Transparency, truth, I love it really wins that match. We don't want to know, Angela. We don't want to know the truth about men. Go get this book, man. I think it's very important for us brothers to do the work. Thank you, my brother, my man. I take you to d von Frankly for joining us. Non move. We got rumors on the way. It's the breakfast club. Go morning all right, morning, everybody is stej mv Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We

are the breakfast club. Yes, indeed, now shout to the Vaughn Franklin for joining us this morning. Yes, yes, I'm sure he pissed off a lot of guys this morning. They ride and they call with their ladies like, all men ain't dogs. I don't know what you're talking about. He's not saying the men are dogs. He just uses the metaphor of how a dog trainer trains dogs for you to train yourself. Yeah, we all have that nature.

You can either submit to your higher nature, which is the God, and you will submit to your lord nature, which is the devil, and you a dog and you whatever you want to call it. What do you mean training? I missed it because I was in Atlanta. What do you mean when he said, basically, you know, all us trash, all us trash ass dudes. Trash ass dude, we used to be. We gotta train ourselves not to be that.

That's all right. Basically mastered the dog within you. So, in other words, instead of operating on lust and desire, operate from a higher place. Wild talking about not masturbating. But he said he masterbated, Yeah, he said, he said wild because you know, when you out of town, you ain't got your move with you. That's the only way to train. You gotta trank a lot of the dog. You know what I'm saying. You got you gotta trank a lot of that dog. Man. Well, everybody's circumstances different,

and so that's everybody's circumstances different. No, what circumstance, Oh, it's different. You know what, Why why do you think masturbation was wrong? You gotta read the book. Read the book. He just talked about a slippery slope. That's funny. That's funny, love a slippery slope. All right. Well, and I did have Divine Franklin doing my book club yesterday, so that was dope. A lot of people have some great questions today. I'm doing Angie Thomas is on the Come Up book.

I've been reading a lot of books lately, and she wrote that Hate You Give, which got adapted into a movie, and they did just announce that her book on the Come Up is actually going to be a movie as well. So congratulations to her next. So I'll be with her tonight, and I think there's still a few tickets available if anybody wants to come to that. All right, Well we got from well we have the Rules coming up next. Oh man, Yes, we are going to be talking about

um well, I was gonna talk about that. But a TV show that you guys love that they cancel, but there is a finale that's a movie, and we have that trailer for you. Okay, we'll get into that next. Keeping locked it the Breakfast Club, Good morning wanted. Everybody is dj mv Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Just talk Liam Neeson. Listen, just oh reports reports club. But there's a lot of backlash for Liam Needson right now. He

got Donkey of the Day yesterday. In addition to that, he has all red carpet interviews canceled for his movie co Pursuit that he's been promoting none of the cast is going to actually be doing any red carpet interviews for that movie. And that's a decision that was made by the film studio, which is Lion's Gate. Why the whole cast got to suffer because Liam Neeson stupid. I don't know. I guess they feel like this story is just too big. It's kind of overshadowing the actual movie. Now,

now the original co pursuit the original. What he said originally was this, she told me she had been raped, but she handled the situation of the rape. I asked, did you know who? I wasn't known what color they? She shut it was a black person. I have an open tourne areas with a cash, hoping i'd be approached by someone. I'm ashamed to say that. I did it for maybe a week, hoping some black bastard would come out of a pub and have a call at me about something, you know, so I could kill him. Who

That's awful. And then yesterday we played this cup and yesterday was also what would have been Trayvon Martin's birthday, and that's yeah, that's what sucked about it. Treyvonn would have been twenty four yesterday and Trayvonne was killed by a fat Bathard named George Demman who was looking at all black men the way Liam was. He was looking at all black men one way, and he wanted to murder a black man, and that could have been God forbid,

something would happen. He would have came across a black man, he would have ended up killing him. But according to said what he had to say. Now, he's been trying to do what seems like damage control. Right. He went on Good Morning America and said this, I'm not racist. I just said in Irish or a scott or a brig or a Lithuanian, I would I know I would have fed the same effect. I was trying to show honor to my stand up from my dear friend and

this terrible medieval fashion. Alright. He goes on to talk about what would have happened. Do you think he actually would have done a black man who had nothing to do? Yeah, I know that was my feeling that I did want to lie shut and I admit that. And it's a learning curve. But what are you hoping that people will learn from you making these statements to talk to open up, to talk about these things you know, we all pretend we're all kind of, you know, politically correct. I mean

in this country. It's the same in my own country too. You sometimes just scratch the surface and you discovered this racism and that's fair. Yeah, I mean, I respect honesty. We all have to unlearn to be as we have learned. I just don't know if you can. I don't know if you can unlearn racism. I think that it is deep routed. But I think once you it's so many different things that you hear about somebody else, and then when you actually learn and speak to them, things can change.

I think this ignited the whole discussion on Twitter because Terry Crew said, I believe that every person on earth is capable of the greatest good or unspeakable evil. Liam is just describing his fork in the road. Now people got upset. Why LEI was one person that said, na, na, Nope, Liam is trash. We're losing brothers all the time because of this proverbial fork, not fam And then Terry Crew said, what are we going to do? And while they said, I know what we're not gonna do, Terry, so there

you go, what are we not going to do? Go out and kill black people that are innocent, Oh okay, and excuse and excuse people's behavior and the words that they say that could be harmful to innocent people. Yeah, but you know, when it comes to stereotyping, when it comes to the profile, and when it comes to the biases, when it comes to pre judging, a lot of us we have that mentality because of what we've been taught over the is and we've never had a conversation with

the people that we feel this way about. So what if you have a conversation with the person and you're like, damn, I was seeing this group of people in the wrong way. Liam said he would deliberately go into black areas in the city looking to be set upon. He said it shocked him and it hurt him, and he did see how he went to go see a priest. So yeah, so there's no he can never change. Ever, I think I've not changed, you know, listen, we hope about him,

but I think people could change change. But that was just an awful thing to say, especially because there's so many innocent black men that have nothing to do with anything that are getting killed. Oh no, I could put that energy out there that sounds crazy. I agree with that totally, right. I don't know. I don't know about racism, but people can grow in the ball. All right, let's switch gears a little bit and let's talk about Being Mary Jane. Now. I know you guys love that show.

People were very upset when it was canceled. Well, BT has released a trailer because you know they're doing the finale as a movie. Oh like a baby it's time. You're excited to see the baby being married Jane movie. Nobody you never watch Being Mary Jane. I ever watched Mary You guys we're on it. Well, not really, but they mentioned us non drop on a clues bam for Being Mary Jane BT. I just I just never watched it. I know people enjoy it, but I never watched it.

All right, Well, people are excited, FYI. I'm excited all right now? Cardie B? How much does it cost to be Cardi B? While she revealed it in a Twitter video that she spends about two hundred and fifty thousand and three hundred thousand dollars a month for her lifestyle check it out. No, what I hate? I hate when

celebrities do something very extravagant by something very luxurious. There's people in the comments that you could have donated that all we going backwards, who could have done this and that with your money? And it's like, who are you go to tell people what to do with their hard work and ass money? First of all, do you know the irs? Out of every check that you make, they

automatically take forty five percent of your check. Then, like an artist like me and a lot of rappers that I know, they literally take care of their whole family. On top of that, my bills is like I'll say about three hundred thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand every single months. Now I'm just giving you the information about how much she ends up having to spend on taking care of her family every single month. That's a lot

of money and responsibility. You know what, though, it's a good idea sometimes to put your family on payroll because then it's more manageable. It is a write off, and if you're giving them money anywhere employee, then it's kind of like a steady check and they can't really ask you for They shouldn't ask you for more than that if you put them on payroll. Because I've worked places

where people had their family members on payroll. So just a good idea that she's right between security, between traveling between nannies, between stylists, between employees, and between employees, between managers, spreading out a business between Yeah, she spends a lot of money, and I would say Cardy B Is probably one of the people that I know that tries to do things like she tries to fly regular all the time, and she gets noticed all the time. She tries not

to do private. She tries, she said, but the baby, she does end up having to fly private a lot. Yeah, she posted about that. She said she has a publicist, stylist, makeup artist, security, baby said, a business management, she said, to have a baby. So it's a must to take a private jet when she moves. When I'm required to work in La Just on rent is about thirty thousand a month drivers, and that's not including rent and mortgage

of homes in New York and Atlanta and investment properties. Yeah, don't get a twisted Cardy got a lot of investments. And I've been talking to her about her investments and we've been doing some things. But yeah, Cardy got a lot of investment. She knows, she's not stupid. At all. Don't tell me what to do with my goddamn money. There you go. Okay, this is my bread. All right, check. I'm the one that got to pay the taxes on this money. Right, Okay, this is mine. I'm gonna do

what I want with it, period. All right. Well lim angela yee. And that is your rumor report. All right, thank you. I ain't got nothing, all right, shout alike, Yes here, given that, donkey, listen, man, let's have a conversation about the male fragile ego to males ego, A soul fragile and Calvin Wilkins fell victim to a fragile ego. All right, we'll talk about it four after that. We'll get to that next. Keep a locktic to breakfast club the morning the breakfast club, Your mornings will never be

the same. You don't need to snow to have an adult snow day. Had to eBay this winter and make the most of your money shopping eBay deals with our best price guarantee plus free shipping on millions of items. If it's happening on your adult snow day, it's happening on eBay. I was born to donkey. It's the Donkey of the Death. Don't get day that Charlemagne Devil breakfast club. Yes, Donkey today for Wednesday, February six goals to thirty eight

year old Calvin Wilkins of Medfifth, Tennessee. Now, Calvin was not with Captives past day because him and his compadres decided to have a super Bowl party. I can't lie. I enjoy a good super Bowl party food. It's super Bowl parties. It's very underrated. Okay, when we discuss great holiday eating, we don't really discuss super Bowl food. Maybe

because we don't look at the super bowls. We don't look at super Bowl Sunday as an actual national holiday, but it is the unofficial holiday in America for some. In the combination of beef, a turkey, meatballs, chicken wings, nachos, man those made for some damn good super Bowl eats. Okay, my wife, My wife didn't make that this year because we were at my daughter's cheer leading competition this Sunday. But I really enjoy when she makes my favorite super

Bowl foods. I love my wife's cooking in general. Okay, there's three people on this planet whose food tastes different simply because it's made with an ingredient you can't buy anywhere, and that ingredient is unconditional love. You only get that ingredient in your food from your wife, your mom, and your grandma, your big grandmother, your mama's mama. Okay, those three right there, I got a season and called love that is better than lours. All right, basil, reagano, salt, pepper,

parsley bear, all those are great seasonings. But nothing beats that seasoning called unconditional love, which can only come from your wife, mom or your mom's mom. And now I want to ask the married men in the room a question. Who aren't here married me? Okay? And those out there listening feel free to talk back to the radio. Is there a patriarchy when it comes to how food is

served in your crib? Meaning if your wife cooks? Okay, as a man, do you expect for your plate to get fixed first by your wife or do you make your own plate? How does it go down for you? In my house, it depends. Usually my wife decides who eats first. Usually if the kids are there, the kids are get their plate first because they need to eat first. All Sometimes it's me. It doesn't matter if we don't

really care. We don't really stress it. As a man, you don't expect her to make your plate and give it feed you first, Eddie, what about you either or the other matter? Same here. I got three kids in the house, so I expect for their plates to be made first. Let the kids eat. I can fix my own plate, but I do prefer for my wife to make my plate only because when a woman fixes your plate is organized better. Okay, it's just to write amount of everything on the plate to plate is rashing out properly,

with the proper portions of everything. That is true. I can't describe it. But when you have had your plate fixed by your mom, wife or grandma, your mama's mama, you know what I'm talking about. Now I want to ask them in the room another question. Yes, if your wife or girlfriend fix somebody else to play the food before you, would you feel away? Yes, you would feel if everyone wasn't my kids or my family man. Yeah, yes, it was just some dude that's in you fix Tony

a plate before you. Yea, I might feel a little way hetty. Would you feel away? Yeah? If you was making your man a plate with you, if you if you was fixing food. Would you make sure your man got sirved first? I think in my head if I would answered that, I would, But I don't know what might happen in real life. I might going to get my mama plate first, or outside your mom I'm gonna say, just another guy? Was there another random guy? Where are we super Bowl party? Step brother? Let's just say a

step brother. I don't know if I would think about it that all right, but I think my instinct would be to do his plate first. Okay, Well, Calvin Wilkins from Memphis, Tennessee. He did feel the way and he made an emotional decision. And what did you? Uncle? H'all always tell you kids move off strategy, not emotion, because when you move off from motion, things like this happened. Let's go to Fox thirteen Memphis for the report. Police. Thirty eight year old Calvin Wilkins was taken into custody.

He was charged with the murder of his stepbrother, twenty eight year old Isaaca Powell. According to the arrest report, wilkins wife turned him in. She says Wilkins was having a Super Bowl party at the house in Whitehaven. She told police her husband got upset with her after she made someone else a plate of food. She says Wilkins became quote verbally abusive, so everyone but the two victims left the party. Wilkins wife told police she received voicemails

from the two victims. A little after ten thirty Sunday nine. She says she heard her husband's voice, a victim begged for their life, and then gunshots. Wilkins is also charged with attempted murder after police say he shot Sierra Storn's multiple times. Her family tells me she's on life support and has no brain activity right now. What, Yes, Calvin Wilkins shot up to place because his wife fixed somebody

else a plate before him. The male ego, the male ego is a fragile package, and I feel sorry for women who are in a relationship with men who have not done the work on themselves. To have a highest sense of self. Knowledge yourself is essential for survival and purpose on this planet. It gives you a sense of confidence that guys like Calvin Wilkins clearly lack. Okay, my brother,

you are in jail right now. Charge the first degree murder, criminal attempt of first degree murder, employment of a firearm during a dangerous felony and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, all because your wife made another man, your step brother, a play of wings and some nachos. I'm telling you, male supremacy, the sense of entitlement that i'm that I'm the man, you're my woman, so I deserve to have this power over you. That's what caused

Calvin to do this. Okay, brothers be front and like they're so strong, like they're so tough, Like we don't give a damn about a thing until a small change in our ecosystem happened. Something as simple as you're a woman fixing a plate for another man, your stepbrother. Okay, we'll set them off now. I'm no therapist. I'm just somebody who enjoys therapy and I'm observing the situation from afar.

Calvin selfers from low self esteem. So when you have a fragile ego and fragile self esteem, when it comes to people you hold dear to you, like your woman, you can have a lot of mental insecurity. And when you have that mental insecurity, man, something as simple as your wife fixing the man another plate can cause you to make a very very very terrible emotional decision like Calvin did. Listen to my brothers, we all feel insecure

at different times. Our self esteem can take a hit every now and then, especially when it comes to our ladies. But here's the thing. Just express yourself. Okay. Yeah, not not in the way Calvin did. Okay, Calvin could have tucked those emotions for the moment of pulled his wife to the side and simply say, yo, man, you hurt my feelings fixing their man's plate before mind. Okay, if she really loves you, she will understand. All right. It's very important that people know how to talk to their

booze their babes. Okay, it's very useful to talk about your feelings, my brothers. Don't be afraid to express your feelings to your woman and double check your own feelings and share your emotions so you don't make the mistakes like Calvin did. Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gym baby boy, because being a hard rock with a fragile ego in the case of Calvin, will take you from being mad at your wife for not making you a plate, the possibly being in prison

having someone eat off yours. Please give Calvin Wilkins the biggest all he should read Divine Franklin's book The Truth About Men and What Men and Women Need to Know. Well, I think we can send it to him a lot of time. I don't think that. I don't think he's gonna be in a relationship with a woman for a long, long, long long time. But he can learn to treat somebody in jail with the respect that they deserve. Now he'll be serving other people meals. Oh it's somebody gonna be

eating off his plate. You ain't even gotta worry about that. He gonna be fixing some plates in jail. All right, all right, all right, thank you for that. Donkey to day. All right, up next ask ye eight hundred five eight five one on five one if you need relationship advice at any type of advice, call ye right now. Is to breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. Ej envy angela, yee, Charlomagne. Guy, we are the breakfast club at time for asking? He Hello,

who's this big? Hey, Shanny? What's your question for ye? Should I take my baby daddy deck? Okay? Why are you not together? We're not together because he recently cheated on me a year ago and I was pregnant with our third child. He ended up having a possibility baby, So you don't know yet if that's his baby the next Yeah, we don't. Yeah, we don't know yet. And have you been in contact with this woman? She always contacted me to get a hold of him, and I'm like,

I'm not, I'm not in y'all situation. She done. She tried to put a restraint in order on us. Just she's been doing like weird, Like I don't talk to her. I don't even know why she tried to put a restraint in order on us. We went to court, the justice looking at her like, bitches, you crazy. You need to He's like, you need to put a restraint on her, on us, on her, and I'm like, I don't do all that? All right? Sheannon said, let's back up for a second. So you and your baby father are together? No,

we not together, But do you all live together? Yeah? We still live together, So you are kind of I mean, and you still love him? Yeah? I still love him. He's only i've been with We've been together for almost nine years. But now there's gonna be some messiness if this is indeed his baby. Now, let's as far as the other woman, right, you can't be mad at her. She's pregnant with a child on the way that that child is his, and he's not communicating already had the baby.

Oh she had it. So there's been no opportunity tests or anything. Yeah, they just rankfully. She sent like some people to my house with these court orders and they just recently got a test done. The test should be back here in March. We'll find out in March. So part of what you want to do is is it depended also on whether or not this is his child. I just don't know if I should take him back perial like that. It's from her, I was pregnant and

he went on did that. But the sad thing is, it's like, I know why he went on and cheated because I'm crazy. Baby. Listen, don't blame a man for cheating on you and not being honest. That's not your fault. Okay, he could have broken up with you and said it's not working. You can't excuse the fact that he's not your fault. Ever, you can't say I understand why he did it. He's wrong, Okay. True. So don't say, oh, I can understand why he cheated. Don't let him brainwash

you that way. But oh no, it's a simple factor like I did from real crazy Like if he just worked out, I'll probably would have when cheated too. He didn't brainwash me or not. But Shannon, I'm gonna say, what did you do? I just gotta know. Oh, I stabbed him. Oh my god, this is a toxic relationship. This cheating, that's stabbing, this violence. Oh, you're doing anything like as far as the fact that you have kids to raise together with therapy, like family therapy, therapy with him.

That's what his mom told us to do. But you're just not Shannon. That's what you have to say. That's what you have to do. Y'all got kids involved. You guys are violent, there's affairs, there's things going on, and you want to make sure in the future that these things don't happen and learn how to deal with your anger, right.

And so the first step I would say for you, before you decide if you're taking him back or not, is for you to both go to therapy and find out what some of the issues that you have with each other and how to deal with those issues. Better work on that before you decide what decision you're going to make. But you have to do that, all right, right, for the sake of your children. Do that. You're so hard,

I don't even know. Listen, the things that are beneficial to you are not always easy, right, and I promise you it's going to help you as a person, as a mom, as a potential wife. You have to heal that first. And whether or not you guys end up together, this would be great for you, all right, deep art you all right, So don't make any decisions now, but make the decision to go to therapy. That's the only one you need to make. Okay, all right, Shannon, please

check back in and let me know what happens. We want to monitor your progress. Thank you. Okay, don't stab anyone. I'm done with that angry like I don't know when I get pregnant, I get angry like goodn't is gracious? All right, mama, geezh, all right, ask ye eight hundred five A five one O five one. If you need relationship advice, here e now was the breakfast club. Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.

We are the breakfast club. We are in the middle of asking ye, we have Trey on the line, trae, good morning, good morning. What's your question for you? Bro? So I'll go into the DNB and I see it bad. Don't come to the door, and I'm like, yo, hey, hey, what's up? That's good? So I get her number and then I checked and I called and fairly respond So I'm like, why are you giving your number if you aren't interrupt? Why are you approaching with the hey, hey,

yo yo? Why are you approaching like that? Though? Bro? She responded with my head that was in my head. I was my life, she responded. At first, no, no, no, I didn't say that a live I'm just like Bram, like wow, look at this. So I posed a course like a gentleman and saying, hey, you know, hey, how are you doing? My name? You know, you know you have a boy from you know, the still and she gave me her number and I checked it. Maybe I

don't know. A couple of days later called she responding every once in a while, and then she respond like maybe eight hours later, and then after a while just got like drop just like well trade maybe she mess somebody else or maybe she you know, it's just not that interested. What are you saying on these text messages? And when you call, hey, how are you doing U? You know, just are you interested? When you're available, we've got some time we can go out, and you go out.

Then I get to know each other, you know, your basic stuff. And she'll come back with, oh, well, you know I worked all day, I'm busy, or I was gonna spend some time my time. I'm like, okay, well yeah, trade she's clearly not interested. But you know, nothing wrong with checking in every now and then. But I wouldn't have too high expectations for that, and I do want to get some advice. UM, don't just say hey, when

you have some time, let's do something. It has something specific, like, hey, such and such has got a concert here on Thursday, and I have tickets if you want to go, you know, I'd love for you to come. I look bit of a comedy show. If you're interested, you know, I'd like for you to join me. I mean I did, I went through the test. Okay, I don't understand the game. Well it's not a game. A game is if she really was responding, but maybe something happened. You don't even

know her or what's going on in her life. It could be anything. Oh that's a good point, So just take the loss. If she's interested, you know whatever. If she's not, it just is what it is. There's nothing you could do about it. But it might not necessarily be a game. You don't think so, No, I mean you don't know what's the problem. You don't know if she's met somebody else. She's stating there. I mean maybe she thought maybe she would be and she changed her mind.

We're allowed to do that. Just don't send no passive aggressive text messages. We can't stand those. Oh damn it, because that's annoying. That'll make me. Never hit somebody back when you do, well, why did you give me your number? Or you know, well I've been trying to reach. If you're not interested, just say so. I don't like when people do that. Just be polite. Just always be polite,

Always be nice. If you do the side of hitter up and just be chill, because that's a red flag when somebody's already irritated and I don't even know you, But why I give the number empty interested? Don't give that fall you know interested. I mean just say, nah, you know I'm not interested initially, Chait. Maybe she at

first wasn't. Then she ain't like your text messages. None of my all my text was good, none too bad, until like maybe a week later when I see that you're responding eight hours or the next day later, and I'm like, Hey, what's up with these games? Okay? Yeah, that's it? You cut off? Man, Hey, what's up with these games? I don't even know you already gotta issue. You gotta just be chilled. You sound a little crazy track. You can't say stuff like that. I'm scared now. I

think you're stalker and I gotta change my number. Okay, I couldn't, It's gracious, all right, up with these games? You don't know what happened. What if somebody in my family died? I'm working on. You don't know what's going on in somebody's life. You know my child got her to say, hey, you couldn't get to it right now? Jase? All right, ask ye eight hundred five eighty five, one on five one. We got rumors on the way. Yes, let's talk about twenty one Savage. We have another update

on what's going on with his situation as far as immigration. Um, we'll tell you what he has to say now, all right, we'll get into that next. Keeping locked this to breakfast Club. Good morning the breakfast Club. This is the rum of report with Angela Ye breakfast Club isn't an amazing the things that become front page news now on CNN, the headline is Corey Booker says he's in a relationship quote,

I got a boo. We sat down with Corey Booker, had a pretty long conversation because he announced his he's going to be running for president in twenty twenty. This is our first time being able to sit down and talk to him about what kind of policies he wants to implement, what his stand is going to be. And at the end of the interview, Charlemagne did ask him about whether or not he's gonna get married. He said,

you know, well, let me play it for you. You would only be like you'd be like the third president. I think I think, first of all, there's two more years until I might swear he might get married some time. I think it didn't existence my girlfriends might listen to this, So you don't want to, Okay, come about to say you don't want to marry somebody. Now when she saw getting hot you might become president, she might just want you for that Nola, before I declare president, I'm dating

somebody that's really special. So oh yeah, so Corey Booker got a boot? Who's booto? Ye Rozario Dawson. Okay, that's in the article too. Since people think that I make things up tell secret information. Yeah, I saw a trash article on the route or that this dude name Stephen Crockett Junior wrote and says send it to Corey Booker has a girlfriend, Now can we stop talking about his dating life? And he was referencing our breakfast club interview and saying, how you know, nobody wants to talk about

policies and voter suppression or things that are important. You want to talk about the relationship. That was literally one question a forty minute at the very end, at the very end, So clearly somebody didn't watch the whole interview. Stephen Crockett Junior think that, But that is he would be the only third bachelor, like you said, to be elected to the White House. And that is something that is a story in itself because for some reason people feel like in order to be in the White House,

you have to be married. And I liked what he had to say about that as well. And we also did discuss why your personal life and things like that, unless it's something questionable that you've done, shouldn't even matter when it comes to your running for office, And we discussed all of that. Stephen Stephen Crockett Junior from the Root said nobody us only seen the clip and that happens a lot, yes, And he said, nobody should be talking about Corey Brooker's dating life unless of course he's

dating Rihanna, because she do anything contradicted. So that's why I say the article's trash. He contradicted this whole stuffs, Rihanna. Did you read the whole article? Yes, of course, So he probably didn't listen to the interview. He just heard CNN interviews, I mean the CNN story. All right, twenty one savage, Now let's discuss this. His people have just put out a statement and they believe that the motives

for ice are corrupt. They said. Many have speculated as to possible ulterior motives for his arrest and detention, including that he released music five days prior to his arrest by Ice, which included new lyrics condemning the behavior of immigration officials for their detention of children at the border. And that's the song a lot. But I can't imagine my kids stuck at the border. The fleece still in the water. People was innocent, kidna get lords, all right,

So he had been through some things. So I can't imagine my kids stuck at the border. So I guess twenty one savage under what his residency in the United States, because he's been here since he was what seven years old? Five, or he's eligible to seek cancelation of removal from an

immigration judge. And you know, I've spoken a lot about the dreamers and the kids who have grown up in this country and have been here since they were young, and this is all they know, and we have to make sure that they're able to stay here legally, so they feel like in front of an immigration judge, he would be able to say. And he did apply in twenty seventeen for a U visa, so that's why they

had his address and that information as well. And man got three kids here, that man paid taxes here, and man does a lot for the community in Atlanta. He went through all a grade school, Like, there's absolutely no reason for twenty one Savage to be in the current situation that he's in now to keep him in concrated, like he actually committed a crime. Now, yes, according to his manager, he's been spending twenty three hours a day and lock up in his only communications ten minute phone

costs what he's like, he didn't even commit a crime. Like, it's not like they are arrested him because he committed a murder or some type of a soul like he was a random traffic stop. You know, it's interesting because there's so many people that are being detained in this similar fashion, and now we're all aware of it because of twenty one Savage, and it's been an ongoing situation that's been happening here in the United States. Twenty One's gonna, you know, end up being a post child for this,

the same way Meek is for prison reform. So, like I said, always say, sometimes things happen to you so God can work through you. Now, Shala made me sell you post the Boondocks comics is back right, and you posted a message from Aaron McGruder. Did these for fun and to see if I still could, so tell us the backstory of that. Oh, Aaron mcgruder's back doing the Boondocks comic script. That was the first time Aaron has done it in like a decade or so. That was informative.

I mean, Aaron's my guy. I thought the genius. I mean, I would give us some everybody. But he said it. He said it in the caption. He felt like doing some Boondocks sketches, you know, if you realize, if you know, he stopped doing the sketches because he felt like he didn't have anything anything else to say. So I guess now he has a lot to say because of everything that we've been seeing in the past couple of years,

you know, due to the Trump administration. So um, I put those those Boondocks comic scripts out yesterday because Aaron asked me to. And I think Aaron is a genius. I ask my guy not support him in anything that he does. But and last thing, r Kelly, he has announced that he's touring. So he's going to be going on a tour. Ain't in America, I know that much, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Yeah, I figured that he do know they got the internet, right, Let's see what

we can happen. Some promoter was to pay for it already if they announced the dates, and he posted that on his Instagram page new tour Alert. Didn't I hear something like Philly bann him from coming to the city or something like that. Oh, I don't know. I didn't see that. All right, Well I'm in ye and that's your rumor report. All right, Philly, you feel you can just ban them out? You just you can never come to the city, no fly zone. I think all states

that stought with the letter piece should ban Oca. You give it yo, you're fast man, You're just the state of the city. And Philadelphi, Pennsylvania's pep, so they definitely should be you're quick, You're quick, all right, thank you? Ye up next to People's Choice mix, I revote, We'll see you later. Everybody else People's Choice mixes up next to Scar Morning, everybody in cdj Envy and Angela Yee, Scharlomagne the guy, we all the breakfast club. Black History Month?

What are we doing when we representing today? Charleman Today? In Anna Bob Marley's born day, we turned to a new Black History Month legend who once started a movie called I Am Legend. Remember when Will Smith played the character Robert Neville, and Robert had to school Anna Montez on the greatness of Bob Marley because Anna had zero clue. Well, if you don't remember, or if you don't know, here's your chance to learn. Will Smith is Robert Neville waxing

poetically about the late grade Bob Marley. The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History Month legend. He had this idea of kind of a virologists idea. He believed that you could cure racism and hate, literally cure it by injecting music and love in the people's lives, and that he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally. Gunman came to his house and shot him down. Two days later, fut on that stage and sang. Somebody asked him why. He said, the people we're trying to make this world

worse are not taking a day off. How can I? And that was another New Black History Month for legends, courtesy of The Breakfast Club. All right, and happy birthday to Barb Molly. Today's born day to Bob Marley. You should, you should, We should all hope to make the impact on the world that Bob Molly. Absolutely he might. You think I would say he's like the biggest artist universally ever across everything Bob. Yeah, I think Jackson. I think

Bob might have Michael beat across the world. I don't know though, that's close Bob and Michael only maybe Tupac and even like as far as his um. You know, all the merchandise, are they telling the hell out of day coffee? Coffee, yeah, candles, matches, all types of Bob Molly. Yeah, I wonder that. I wonder if the kids out there, who even his legacy, his children. Do you think people know about Molly's a real person. Yes, it's kids. I'm just saying because you think about all the kids that

just see him on merchandise. Yeah, they said they know he's a real Yeah. His music stilled today to this day. People like Ante Mama like just a That's what I'm saying. I know he's a real person. Anjema might be real too. I'm not sure what the hell was that? See talk about my goodness? All right? When we come back. We got the positive note though, moves to breakfast slogan more. Anybody is DJ Envy Angeluye Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club now shout to Davone Frankly for joining

us today. Yes, he's a class act, that guy. Let me say, he definitely has inspired and helped a lot of people. We had a Q and A yesterday, and the questions that people were asking him in the audience at the Schoenberg where pretty good. There was one one woman who said that she's been with her husband, I think for like seventeen years and she's now ready to leave him, and she just read his book and now she wants to know what should her next steps be.

And you gotta hear what his answer was to that. But you know, there's real life situations to be careful when you play with when you play with people's lives and you really don't know the ins and outs and you give people advice. Well, he recommended, of course that they they've been in couples therapy for five years, and she talked about how they have gone through a different therapist because they were trying to find somebody that was

suitable for them. She had these dreams and passions in life that she has not still achieved, and he's not supportive of what it is that she wants to do, and she put a lot of the things that she wanted to do when made a lot of sacrifices. What if you want to rap and he just like to trash, that's true, which was to be a rapper, you know.

But anyway, as I was saying, you know, she's tried, basically, and she's gone through all the different feelings and gone through counseling and all of that, and you know, he definitely did. He isn't telling you to leave him or whatever, but everybody's relationship and situation is different. All he can do is guide you on some things that you can do, some actionable steps to kind of help you figure it out. Okay, all right, Well, I hope with Vonne Franklin and Knight

in Chicago too. Well, we're gonna be at the Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church having a uh don't get me the line, but it's a program discussing the current state in the future of you know, just African American men. So we'll be talking about you know, mental health and just just doing the work to be a better human being out of here. That's all. Yeah, get rid of that dog inside of you that believe it's on a positive note, listen to positive Notice this man. If you find a

path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. Breakfast club you don't finish for y'all dumb
