Featuring NY Knicks Coach Tom Thibodeau's Interview

It's Tuesday. Good morning. Everybody's name fail as it's Friday. No, definitely doesn't. Definitely doesn't, but it's it's still a Tuesday. It's a great day. I'm still out in Cabo. I'm really enjoying myself. So if you don't know, last week was me and my wife's twentieth anniversary. I had a bunch of things playing throughout the whole month, but her mom passed. She didn't want to do anything, so I kind of talked it into at least going to this trip.

I just wanted, you know, when she thought of twenty years, I wanted her to think it's something positive and not necessarily her mom passing. So she decided to. You know, Okay, let's go in. And it's been good. It's just been a break from the world for her, so it's it's been pretty good. I've been enjoying myself, so it's pretty good. It's dope to take zoom calls when you're talking about the car shows on the beach, like that's the coolest thing ever. So that's why. I mean, I've been here

the last couple of days. I'll be here for a couple of more days, and it's good waking up and just having a bath robe on chilling. I mean, you can still can dress now. Y'all know I was in tex and Kikos. I'll say this, I kind of should have took off some days because ED also sucks to get up early, you know, in this beautiful place and rest and wake up eight o'clock or nine o'clock instead of five. Yeah, but you know what, I wake up this time anyway, Like my body is used to getting up.

I've been doing it for I don't even know how long, seventeen eighteen years, So my body gets up at that time anyway, so I don't even have to set it a long clock. My body automatically wakes up. So here it's four at an alarm. I gotta soon wake up now I wake up, So it's four am here anyway. So by the time Jama said, I know that's right. Nah, by the time the show's old, I can take my nap and I'm out at the beach enjoying, like that's who I am anyway. All right, well, this morning, man,

it's crazy. So I have posted a piece of our Chris Rock interview yesterday where he was talking about, you know, getting vaccinated. I thought it was funny. He's a comedian, He's always told funny jokes. People were so upset really about his jokes. It's just interesting because it kind of goes along with what he said is that comedians are too safe right now. They feel like you can't say anything.

It's getting boring. Correct, And he makes some jokes about getting vaccinated, which I thought, we're pretty funny, whether or not you believe in it. It's jokes. When I tell you, people are going crazy in the comments, really conspiracies about people dying from that. It was I was like, look, you can't even make a joke, you know, it's funny. Shout the Charlomann he's running a little late. He said, this traffic on the West Side Highway, that's the highway

that gets us around New York City. He said, there's an accident or something, so he's backed up a little bit. But what do he said yesterday? I don't know if he said it on air or behind the behind the scenes. He was like, everybody has an audience. That is so true when it comes to social media. No matter what it is. If there's a conspiracy, people believe it. If there's a UFO, there's a group of people that's gonna

say no, or there's a group people that's gonna say yes. Like, no matter what in life, there is a group of people for it. So you just gotta just say, all right, whatever, keeping moving. I mean, I knew people are gonna be upset, but I'm like, guys, damn you a comedian can't even just make some funny jokes. I didn't necessarily see it, but anyway, all right, well let's get the show cry. Senator Nina Turner will be joining us this morning. We'll

be kicking with up with everything that's going on. She's about to run for elections soon. She has a podcast or a black effect network, So we'll be talking to her about all of that and what else we got you. Well, of course, since we're talking about these vaccinations this morning, let's talk about the CDC and their mask guidelines for schools and also who is going to get rid of

these mask mandates starting tomorrow. All right, we'll get into all that and we're keep it locked this to Breakfast Club, Go morning and fire made joan green girl. Just know that get bad time, they say time. She can't see her on me. She's so blasting you get to him that you must and you don't want to go to sleep. She ain'try, ain't she been a this sing?

And lets you man me. Got on my knees open to me better say that you by her morning. Everybody is dch Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, Nicole. We are the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get in

some front page news where we're starting you well. The CDC won schools to keep the current COVID nineteen guidelines, which includes mask wearing and distancing, at least for the remainder of the school year because most of its aren't fully vaccinated. So that is the update, which is interesting because some places you don't have to wear masks at all, but now they're saying all schools they want you to wear a mask. In New York, vaccinated people can get

rid of their masks, even indoors, starting tomorrow. Yeah, I mean why it makes sense, I mean indoors. I mean because I always thought it was stupid. When you walk into a restaurant, you put your mask on to walk five feet to a table, then take it right off. It didn't really make sense to me either, you keep it. I don't know. I'm I don't know. I'm at a

point right now, like they change every other day. Even at this result, President, you wear your mask until you go outside, and then by the pool everybody's together with no mask on. It doesn't make sense. Yeah, our President Biden did say the numbers are down and all the states right now, so that is good news. And now California is going to continue to wear their masks for

another month though, until June fifteenth. That's to give public and businesses time to prepare and to make sure coronavirus cases stay low. According to the state health director in California. All right, now, this story was interesting. A man committed suicide inside of a fart o courtroom after he got a guilty verdict. So he had just returned a partial guilty verdict against the man he had faced stalking related charges. They said he used a sharp object made out of

plastic and basically slit his neck with that object. They said, people turned around and you could see the inside of his neck. The jury was not inside the courtroom at the time, and they had found him guilty on at least some of these charges that were against him. But they said the judge, the courtroom staff, and others witnessed the incident. Wow, he was able to step that in because usually, well, I guess they don't. Patrick. Yeah, you

gotta just walk through metal detectives. Wow. And two men who were wrongfully convicted of a murder back in nineteen eighty three were awarded seventy five million dollars by a North Carolina jury. It's two black men with intellectual disabilities. They were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of an eleven year old girl back

in nineteen eighty three. So now when a person jury has awarded them their half brothers, Henry McCullum and Leon Brown, they spent thirty one years in jail for a crime they did not commit. So they are each getting thirty one million dollars, one million dollars for every year that they spent in prison. Also thirteen million dollars impunitive damages.

And can you imagine they said, it's the highest combined verdicts in US history in a wrongful conviction case, and it's the largest ever personal injury award in North Carolina. Is how old they knew? Let's see, what are their ages now? For more than thirty seven years. Let's see. Yeah, I don't know they're an age right now, but I just know that they were both intellectually the able, and they were teenagers and they signed these confessions that said

they did not understand. So if they're teenage, they were teenagers back then they got to be like fifty. I mean that that. I mean that money can't bring back time. But you know, the sad thing which we got to change is this system somehow someway is because you know that money that they get, that they deserve. The taxpayers pay that. But it has to get to a point where the people that make mistakes and the people that actually make them sign these confessions really get hurt on

this because yes, they deserve the money. They can't get their time back. But the fact that the taxpayers have to pay the money and the people that probably convicted them and prosecuted them they just walk scott free. It's not right. That's that's not right. Like that, there's some of that money should come from their pension, come from their salaries, and the people that lied on them and made them sign and coherce them to do that, that

should come from their pockets. I think about it. The person who was the actual murderer was free all this time. They actually in twenty fourteen they found the murderer Roscoe artists and because of DNA evidence. That's crazy. I'm glad that that is your front patients, but thirty one years since you were teenagers, that's crazy. Can't bring back that time. Get it off your chests. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent hit

us up right now. Charlemagne is running a little late. There was a five car accident on the way in so he'll be here shortly. But phone lines a wide open, eight hundred five eight five one on five one. Get it off your chests. It's to breakfast club. Good morning. The breakfast club is your time to get it off your chests. Whether you're man or blast three, better have the fame. Anything we want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this from Alabama? The morning? Alabama?

What's up? Good morning? Get it off your chest. I'm tired of working. I'm tired of capital living. When we were kids, we didn't have to worry about none of that. We wanted to be adults so bad when we were kids. Nine and I'm an adult. I want to be a kid again. Bro, Man, I didn't want to drinking when I grew up banking. All these deals come with Yeah, listen, you gotta pay for that drinking smoke. I know you know how much he fALS do. Now let me ask

you this. Are you getting ready for a retirement at although? Are you saving? Do you have a plan so that you know in an X amount of years? I'm just wondering because that's something I think about all the time. Okay, I got a full one kid, gone. But I've been trying to do the crypto thing. But I've just been letting the dice roll on. So yeah, me too. I haven't figured it out. I've just been letting it die. I've been doing pretty good letting the dice roll a

little bit. But you just never know what that manute. But Lena had to see alone. Brother right, preciate it save you some money. You got to have a drink right now, right now? Hello, who's this? This is Jerry. They get it off your chest. So I just wanted to share I cost the very last bit of your story a minute ago about about a man being or a couple of gentlemen being wrongfully convicted and relieved. Yes, I recently learned about a group called the Instance Project.

It is a national nonprofit company and they've worked to help exonerate these people that have been wrongfully convicted. So I just wanted to bring light to that and anybody that can support that or talk about that, because it's lawyers out here working to find the DNA and evidence and get these people out, and it's hard work. It's years and years of legal battle, but it's happening. And then they're also working to try and fix the justice system.

I think that that's the biggest problem. How are we going to fix that in the long run. And they're trying to improve that process through you know, research and everything like that, how to not get these people wrongly, wrongfully, wrongfully convicted. Sorry, but at the same time, you know, getting these people out. So when you said that, you know,

it just brought that up. I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman that was wrongly convicted for twenty four years who they helped get out, and he was he was so excited to get out. They helped him get a new life and get started. He's doing fantastic. We're going contact with him, and just it breaks your heart to see that this is happening in our country. Yeah, that's your whole life gone, and not just your life, but the people who are close to you who are

affected by that. And that's time you can't get back, no matter how much money. And think about people who have also been wrongfully executed, right where DNA evidence could have exonerated them, but they were on death row. And I just saw in the news this morning in South Carolina. Is it North Carolina or a South Carolina South Carolina. I think so South Carolina. They're actually letting you pick a firing squad or the electric chair. Good old South Carolina.

That's crazy. Well, Innocent Projects dot org is where you need to go if you need more information or you got a family member that's locked up, that's wrongly convicted. Innocent Project dot org. And you can also donate because, like you said, their work is pro bono, so they do need help. They do need donation, so you can go there to help somebody else. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to hit us up now, it's the Breakfast Club.

Go morning, the Breakfast Club. I'm telling, I'm telling what's doing. Call of you if this is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this is Uber? Mike Dallas. What's up? You're day v Uber? Mike? What up? Bro? Get it off your chest? Okay? Two things, Charlota Mane, keep getting away free books and put a lot of support out there in the body the books,

and you keep giving them away. So I'm mad at that. Why who? Why I'm mad at that? Why you? Because if I'm spending my money buying a bullet, I'm thinking, you know, I'm supporting people just getting them for free. They they might as well breakfast we get free. Well, listen, I appreciate you supporting, uh Tamika Mallory state of emergency how to win in the country. We build it available everywhere now. But I mean, if somebody calls up and they want one, I'm gonna send one out. Why not chlomone.

But some people might not be able to. So I mean, I think the fact that they're given people some books and maybe people can't afford it, it's a good thing. He just don't know me. And the last thing, the person that I feel that can be out of Beyonce CALIBERT for caliber sound for sound would be Jack. Yeah. That would be a good versus Jack great versus Beyonce versus Janet Jackson would be a phenomenal versus. That's two different eras. Man, shut up dramas. It's music stupid DMX

with two different eras. All right, I'll have a good morning. Could you hush some time? Young boy, Jesus had him started up dramatic his music. He must have port this morning's upset right now, It's not that different of an a. The sounds of the sounds, the sounds, the sounds could battle each other. Janet and Beyonce wouldn't be too far affected. It's two different aretas. Brianna and Beyonce are two different areas. That's not true at all. Shut up, Sky, I mean,

what's up to you? Good? More into you and he's out. That lady, the lady that just spoke on that peace about the people being evrongfully convicted. Now I agree with you on the whole thing about convicting somebody and then guess what it gets overturned later on, and then that prosecutor and anybody else involved that was responsible for being the people convicted. Just walk away, Just go on with your life. When I have a friend in Atlantic County jail.

On February eleventh or twenty eighteen, he was charged with sex too a saw in Atlantic County at the Valley Hotel. Now, I'm I'm just going to man along with my problem out of North Carolina, who is basically schooling him on his case. Because you don't know the law. I don't even know the law. But my brother he's smarter with the law. So what's happening here? He was charged with raping thiss this hotel lady when it was a consensual

sex for money. So to make a long story short, is what happened is he couldn't get into the door or of his room. She gave him the master key. The master key didn't work, so he tried another tactics such as going to h get another key or something, and she told him to do this and he couldn't get back upstairs. She went and told and everything just fell apart and he got charged with all these times he'd been in there since twenty eighteen, never went to trial,

he got violation, everything all up in his case. Nothing has put out good for it. Every time we go to court, I think the judge and his lawyer and the DA all working together because his lawyer had evidence that he won't even show him. He won't even show

him the body cam whatsoever. And he's sitting and we don't contacted politicians in DC just stay in Jersey and local politicians like the ADLU and the DP whatever we are trying to do you know what I'm saying to help bring some light to his case, because he's just being railroaded. They really, really, really really want to get him on something that he didn't do. And I think it's foul because the das doing this and the judge,

the judge of the DA represents the state. But you know, darn well they ain't trying to just let somebody out on bel The State of Jersey does not release on sexual sort charges. They don't get no better or nothing. I just want when I heard you speak about it, I want to chime in and give my opinion about it because right down to this day, right now, we can't get no help from news media to bring this to light. So somebody can time in and say what

the heck is going on with Atlantic County? This corruption going on down him because he's being done. You know what's crazy that that case, that case isn't as cutting dry is like you know, a lack of DNA evidence, because it's really just you know, her word against his word, her saying it was him saying it was consensual, her saying it wasn't. You know Jersey also, Or my brother has research and pastor has the right to do the law.

And since you mentioned DNA. Uh, you know, with the DNA rule, with the say the jersey is, you can't just utilize it the way you want to use a utilize it and say here his racial law. No, do you have to identify that second DNA and get it in so that there can be an argument. Okay, we have two DNAs. It was in name. What happened was they got his DNA and he admitted to having sex with this old woman. But they we took his DNA, take her DNA. There was multiple DNA found and he's

getting left all around. That's it's a mess up. Though the justice system is messed up to some extent. It's not built the way that it should be built in fairness. I'm just I'm it was it was. It was never it was never built to be fair to us though, So it's definitely it's definitely working the way they intended and mostly things. Thanks for calling. I'm not in it. I'm not. I'm not an attorney, so I couldn't even remotely begin Yeah, yo, out tell him anything. Yeah, all right,

we'll get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five. We got rumors all the way. Yes, and wife and Lucci. He has surrendered and he's back behind bars. Will tell you what happened with him. I said, This is how flaming hot cheetos story is very interesting because now what is the urban legend of who discovered flaming hot cheetos is under question? All Right, we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Coming

the Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Friedo Lay. It's about the rumor report. Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, how did these flaming hot cheetos about? Now you know, there's a whole biopic that's happening that Eva Longaria is directing that also Divine Franklin is working on as a producer. Here is what Divine Franklin had to say when he

was on the Breakfast Club. Richard Montanez was a Mexican janitor who worked for Freedo Lay and he came up with this idea to put chili powder on the cheeto, and the CEO at the time gave him an opportunity to do it. Next, no, flaming Hot chetos becomes a number one snack in the country, becomes the biggest snack for Freedo Lay, he goes from being the janitor becoming

vice president multi Cultural Marketing. Well. According to the La Times and to Friedo Lay, they are saying that none of our records show that Richard was involved in any capacity in the Flaming Hot test market. We have interviewed multiple personnel who were involved in the test market, and all of them indicate that Richard was not involved in any capacity. That doesn't mean we don't celebrate Richard, but

the facts do not support the urban legend. Now, according to the La Time, that's a woman named Lynn Greenfeld who was responsible for leading the creation and the rollout of Flaming Hot Cheetos back in nineteen eighty nine. She said she alerted Friedo Lay in twenty eighteen, which he got word of montanez his story that he created the snack, and according to her, she said she was very proud

of her work on the snack. She said it's disappointing that twenty years later, someone who played no role in this project would begin to claim our experience as his own and then personally profit from it. So he's also you know, Montenez has capitalized on this story and he's been giving speeches. He's beginning up to fifty thousand dollars for appearances. He's also really two memoirs. Yes, and as you know, this movie is coming out this June. Now,

Richard Montagnez has spoken out after these claims. He said I was their greatest ambassador. This is what he told Variety. He said, but I will say this, You're going to love your company more than they will ever love you. Keep that in perspective. Yeah, I'm just I don't know who created what. I'm just happy to finally know what the hell of flaming hot powder is made of because I did not know it was a chili powder. I had no idea what the hell flaming hot cheetos were

made up. So he got out of this, yes, because I really I really wanted to missibly when the voey telling the truth. We don't know, but don't they have a record of employees that worked there. Well, he did work there. Nobody's saying he didn't work there, you know. But the whole story is that he worked his way up from a janitor to become a marketing executive. And according to him, he's saying Friedo LEI had five divisions in that era. He said, I don't know what the

other parts of the country, of the other divisions. I don't know what they were doing. He said, I'm not going to try to dispute that lady, because I don't know. All I can tell you is what I did. All I have is my history, what I did in my kitchen. He said. He started pitching product ideas in the late eighties when he was working as a janitor. He said Frito Lay had something called the Method Improvement System. They were looking for ideas. He said, that's what inspired him.

So I always had these ideas for different flavors and products. The only difference in what I did is I made the product instead of just writing the idea on a piece of paper and sending it in. Who came up and he said he did. He did pitch the product in person to former Freedo Lay exec and then in two separate meetings. I think the real selling point is the name who came up with Flaming Hot. Flaming Hot to me has always been the selling point because people look at that and he'd be like, I bet you

can't eat a whole bag at ease. So I think it's the name more than anything. You got people eating an adjective. We didn't even know what the hell flaming hot teos were made out of. What they were We just was eating then adjective flaming hot. It's like red velvet is a fabric, like what the hell I used to love him hot chips though, grown up? Anything spicy, I like anything spicy. That's what I'm saying. The name, the name sells it all right now, wife, and Lucci

is back behind bars. He turned himself in on Thursday and he's being held in the maximum security unit at Fulton County Jail and so he was indicted, as you know, with twelve others on charges of racketeering and a warrant was issued for his arrest earlier this month. They said it's unprecedented in Georgia. There's been a huge spike in violent crime, and the DA said, I made a commitment to bring the best and the brightest minds here, many of which you see sitting here right now, so we

could deal with this issue of violent crime. Now wife and Lucci's attorney are saying that Lucci is not a gang member. He said, what he is is an internationally recognized musical artist that is a triple platinum winner that has performed all over the US and all over the world and has nothing to do with this. Well, I hope they don't pull up none a wife and lyrics Lucci's lyrics with him talking about being in a gang.

And you know, he already is facing an unrelated murder chart in connection to the shooting death of twenty eight year old James Adams last December, and so he's charged with felony murder aggravated a saw, participation in criminal street gang activity, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony man. That's crazy. I mean, listen, like I always say, sometimes you look at your problems and

then you see somebody else problems. Are you gonna take yours back if you do not want to be in that situation that he's in right now? Not at all? All right, Well that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you, missy. Now we got front page news next. What we're talking about? Yes, and let's talk about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and their taxes. You know, Donald Trump had never revealed what he paid in taxes, so let's find out what our president and vice president have paid.

Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Yee Charlomagne, the guy we are to breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news where we're starting. Ye. Well, According to the World Health Organization, working long hours is killing hundreds of thousands of people a year because of

stroke and heart disease. They've done a global analysis of the link between loss of life and health and working long hours, and they've estimated that about seven hundred and forty five thousand people have died as a result of working at least fifty five hours a week in twenty sixteen. So what they're gonna do, They're gonna cut people's hours. People have been trying to tell bossons that forever to

you're working to death. That's very true. Yeah, they said it could be psychological stress from working those long hours, which generates a physiological response, which triggers reactions to the cardiovascular system and lesions that can cause a change and tissue. Also health harming behavior in response to stress, like smoking, drinking, poor diet, physical inactivity, and paired sleep or recovery. All

of those are risk factors. Yeah, especially if you're doing something that you hate, Like if you're waking up and you're go into a job every day that you don't like, you don't like the people that you work with, you killing yourself. We need naptime. I think we need to bring naptime backward. We don't take naps, no, I mean in the middle of your work day, you know, you just go when you take an hour just a nap, like I miss naptime. Man, Still I take naps now,

are you crazy? Especially if I were never napped during the day. I nap all the time time. I nap for all the time, all the time. All right. Now, airlines could soon start weighing passengers before a flight, and that weighing passengers, wow, you want to ensure safety on board planes. And they're saying that data that they used to measure that is becoming outdated as obesity rate to rise in the United States, so now they have to

update average passenger weight. So under these new requirements, they said, airlines would be mandated to take surveys to set standard average passenger weights for crew members, baggage, and passengers. And that's going to happen through random sampling, so regardless of you have the option, by the way, if they want to weigh you to say no. If you decline to participate, then they have to select another traveler at random. So this is all conducted on a voluntary basis, on all

confidential and on't wait. People just have Kevin Samuel stand in and tell people if they look too heavy to be on the flight. That's all all right, Now let's talk about money and money. Money, I tell you all your taxes would do yesterday. Well, let's talk about Joe

Biden and Joe Biden and their taxes. So jointly, they earned six hundred and seven thousand dollars in twenty twenty, and they gave about percent of their income to charity, and so that means their federal tax bill was lowered to one hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars and then twenty nine thousand in Delaware taxes. Now, Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband made about one point seven million

dollars in income. And her husband is a high profile attorney, so most of that income was from him as a partner. Kamala Harris, as a senator, got a much smallert salary, and they paid six hundred and twenty thousand dollars in federal income taxes, which is about thirty six point seven percent. Yeah, how much dog bringing in? The dog mus be bringing

in like a million something a year something like that. Yes, indeed, okay, so that so yeah, in case you are wondering how much they make and how much they paid in taxes, that information is available, all right, and that is your front page news.

We are to Breakfast Club. You have a special guest. She's a family to the rule. Nina Turner. Welcome back, good to be here. Turner is right, and she's running. You're running for Congress right now. I am running. Tell us the importance of that. I feel

like I've been campaigning for forever. Yeah, no, yeah, but the significance. You know this, this is a very important moment in our country's history. And to be able to have this opportunity something that I didn't necessarily see coming in this moment. But the former congresswoman is now Secretary of Hood, which is a beautiful thing. And so for me to be able to continue my service to my constituents in this way, or to at least have the opportunity to compete to do so, is a beautiful thing.

I have the courage to ask for more. And there are a whole bunch of people suffering in my district, this state, and this nation, and they need leaders like me who have the courage to ask for more. That's what you've seen so far with the first one hundred days plus with Joe Biden. What are your thoughts moving in the right direction. But when you're moving in the right direction, you gotta keep going there. So the COVID Relief Bill was something that was definitely needed without a doubt.

You know, there are provisions in the COVID Relief billd at one point nine trillion dollars that addresses childhood poverty, which is good. It cuts childhood poverty by example in half. More money to state and local governments, really really good. But we gotta keep going on. The fifteen dollars an hour minimum WAG should not make it. So we got more work that we have to do because before the pandemic, people were catching hell and that hell is only being

exacerbated now because of COVID. So we got to have the courage to go beyond, not get back to normal, because normal for a whole bunch of people was not good. That's right, right, that's right. I didn't ask you how how are you, miss Turner. I need an honest answer. I need an honest answer because none of us are the same, you know, because because of the pandemic. But how are you? I'm glad you asked me that, and I follow you on the gram and I love the

encouragement that you get if people. You know, I got my days like everybody else, days when I'm up and days when I'm down, days when I say what am I doing? You know? But through it all, you know what you're saying. Blessed Black. And I keep that to center me on the regular basis. But I have to meditate and exercise, and I like the box and I envision a whole bunch of folks on that bag or hula hoop Lata hula hoop. I can work that sucker too, But yeah, I have one of those two using that again.

I got that, and I got a jump rope. I try to have things don't use as well. Yeah, I know, right, but it's hard. I'm gonna tell you that, it's really hard, because you know, when you're trying to do good and that doesn't make me perfect. But nobody working on this earth is perfect. You know, you bump up against stuff and it does. It can wear you down a little bit. Let me ask you about the pandemic since you mentioned that right, and we're talking about the CDC and their

new guideline and people are very confused. What are your thoughts on what the CDC is saying. You think it's confusing and too soon for people to not have to wear a mask if they've been vaccinated indoors and outdoors. Yes, and yes, And the National Nurses Unite it have come out and trust nurses, baby, If you're gonna trust anybody, trust the nurses. And they said that this is too soon, and that we're putting a lot of front line essential workers,

especially in healthcare, but not exclusively in danger. You know, as of January twenty twenty one, over, I think one point three million people in this country have died from COVID. Now that was in January. I know the numbers are up, and disproportionately they have been black and brown. So yes, Angela, I do think it is too soon. And if I have to choose between the CDC and the nurses, I'm going with team nurses. I mean, I call you, I call you one of my leaders because you speak truth

to power. And when I hear you speak truth to power, I wonder why is this so hard for politicians to simply tell the truth, Like when you're posed with a question like is America a racist country? Yeah, why can't you just speak the truth to power on the history country? Why can't we? I mean, the data is very clear data and lived experiences. The data shows that the African American community in particular is you know, catching hell is traumatic right right? So from the economy to policing to

highway systems. So, yes, racism exists in America. It is prevalent and it is also persistent. I read an article where sixty seven percent I think they said doctors. They could have said the medical profession. So forgive me if I don't have that exactly right. But have admitted to

having some type of bias against African Americans. And when we look at the maternal death rates of Black mothers and childbirth, and even two prominent women in our community like Beyonce and Serena Williams both talked about not being believed during childbirth. And so if it happens to two magnanimous extraordinarily success full black women. Think about other Black women who live in the hood and misunderstood. So it

is prevalent and it is persistent. But just because that is our reality, it doesn't mean it has to be our future. So we got to do a new thing on purpose, just as racism and anti blackness and white supremacy is on purpose. Let's let's talk a little bit if we can about Black Wall Street. The massacre has been a hundred years made thirty first it will be one hundred years. And mother Fletcher, who's still alive, she's one hundred and seven years old. What are we gonna

do for her while she's still alive? And her descendants and the descendants of others where a white mob came into the Greenwood area and burned down businesses and residences and killed black people, and they were deputized by people an elected office. So yes, racism is alive and well in America. Again, it is our reality. Now it doesn't have to be our future. Politicians and say that I have no idea. You know, we gotta tell the good,

the bad, and the ugly. How would your role as Congress who won't be different than what you were doing as senator. You know what it's kind, it's somewhat the same. It is it's service of people. That's certainly the territory that I would represent would increase. Half of my Senate district is part of the eleven corresonal district, and it

is portions of Greater Cleveland and also greater Actline. I can't leave out my acron folks and so, but the service is the same, standing up wanting to change people's material conditions, caring what other people eat, but type of jobs that they have, you know, what kind of communities are they living in? And I would also say, now it's not just a state focus. When you are in Congress. You have your district, you have the state, national, and

then also international. But my opportunity agenda is still the same, just really fighting and pushing for the people. Could you expound on that a little bit. How does like having a congressional seat in Ohio impact America? Because when you take a vote in Congress, it is very rare that you are voting for just things that impact your district. You are voting for things that impact the entire nation and in some cases, depending on what it is, the

world and Let's take healthcare for example. That is something that I believe that the residents of my district need. As you all know, I've been on the front lines of that for a very long time. But it's not just my district in my state. It's the United States of America needs that. So that's just one example. Education policy, policing, you know, we know we got the George Floyd Policing Act and the Congressman John Lewis voting rights at so

all of those things. There's just a couple of examples of many that you are not just focused in on your district. You're focused in on the state that you are elected from, too, and also the nation and in many cases, the world. All right, we got more with Senator Nina Turner when we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Senator Nina Turner, Charlomagne. Why

are Democrats raising more? Hell about you know, these bills that are coming out that are simply trying to take the vote away from black people, as if that won't impact elections twenty twenty four years to come right, and some are, but I think our collective hair needs to be on fire because we have politicians and state legislatures trying to take us back and happen in my state

legislature when I was there, and it's happening now. You know, experts are saying that Ohio's law, a bill that's pending right now, it's worse. It's going to be worse than Georgia's. They want two IDs, they want to limit the drop boxes. How are they doing this? I'm confused if Florida, like, how are they doing this now? And people allowing it? Because I mean the lovers of power. It does matter

who we elect. And I think although Congress, you know, we should pay attention to Congress, we shouldn't pay attention to who we elect to be president. But state legislatures matter. Two. There are three hundred and sixty one bills percolating through state legislatures right now in about forty seven states that will upend what will happen, as you said, share not just in twenty twenty two, but beyond on. And so we have to refocus. Why can't we care about the

Congress and the presidency and also state legislatures. They're being controlled by these right wing Republicans who because they can't flat out win because the dynamics of this country is changing, the demographics are changing, they flat out cheap and as we said, two idea, yeah DJ now it's pending. It

hasn't passed, but yeah in Ohio two IDs. They want to take away the drop boxes or limit the hours for example, So if the Board of Elections is open from eight thirty to four thirty, for example, they want the drop boxes to only be available from eight thirty to four thirty. That defeats the purpose of having the box. So again, our fundamental rights are being assaulted and we

need to help our people connect the dots. And that's why I'm so glad that you all on the Breakfast Club you have these conversations, because these things are not going to change just because politicians say so. They're gonna

change because the people say so. That's right. You know, I've noticed a lot of people, especially online, they get upset when they hear people saying that Joe Biden actually has gotten things done in the first hundred days because they don't feel like anything has been done specifically for black people. What do you say to that, Yeah, things are being done from a global perspective. See, both of these things can be true. It can be true that

things are being done within one hundred days. And also think about it's just one hundred days. Somebody, you know, smart person thought, oh, let's judge it by one hundred days. Well, we got one hundred days, We're gonna have one hundred more, and a hundred more and a hundred more. Let's measure that based on the days to come, and not just

one hundred days. But absolutely, the African American community deserves directly some stuff to happen for us because African Americans overwhelmingly did this, did it and also in Georgia too. So just because at one hundred days, there are another hundred days, let's make our demands and put them out on the table. But African Americans definitely deserve and I believe that we deserve reparations. I pinned an op ed what our dear sister Erica Alexander, Yes, that's who I

call alex the Great, that's my nickname for her. And we wrote an op ed that was in the USA today about a month and a half ago that talked about the different forms that reparation, repair, repayment of a damage that has been done to American descendants of slaves, that that has to happen, and that is a direct paycheck, and some other things that programmatically can be done. Why does it seem like Republicans are more sincere with their

lives than Democrats are about their truth? Republicans are shameless, though some of them. I don't want to lump them all, but especially on the federal level and the state level too. I think locally it just depends you know what what's going on. But they're very resilient in what they push for and they are not ashamed to push for it. They go all in all the time, and Democrats don't necessarily do that, and we got to start to do that.

I don't get it. Why are we always compromising? I have no idea, especially when you know, you don't start a negotiation with the compromising position. You start for what you really want and then maybe you'll get there. But we just definitely have to be bold, especially because the American people gave the Democratic Party my party, the lovers of power to presidency. The US Senate and help Democrats

maintain the House of Representatives. So that to me is a memo, go bold, go big, change material conditions in people's lives. Bold enough. Right now, in some ways, you know he's getting there again. I believe he's going in

the right direction. I'll give you an example, Angela. Now there are governors and states, including mine, who have decided that they want to cut the unemployment benefits because, oh, poor people don't want to go work at jobs that's not paying them enough money or doesn't allow them to be able to afford childcare if, for example, that they

have children. And these governors are just saying, you know what, We're gonna force people to go back, go back to work, to jobs that don't fulfill them, edify the economically, or any other way. Now, we need the President to come out and go ham on these people, because it is a travesty that anybody would talk about poor people in that way and just assume that people are getting so much enrichment that they don't want to go back to work.

It reminds me of Ronald Reagan's um man, what did it used to call black people back in the Queen? I mean, I don't know about you all, but I've never met anybody who said, you know what, this poor life is all comfy. I'm glad to be insecure, you know. Um. And then even as far as who was receiving welfare, right,

it wasn't necessarily that it was black women. That's right, that we're getting rich off of welfare, even statistically, that's not who was who was the highest people getting welfare That said listen to never let the truth get in the way of a good story. No, it was mainly our white sisters and brothers and not so people got needs. They got needs. I mean remember doctor King before he was assassinated. It was the poor People's Movement, people plural

of all identities. And we have doctor William Barber who's carrying on that tradition in the eighties Whereverend Jackson came with the Rainbow Coalition, that means all of God's children from all identities banding together who are poor, the working poor, in the barely middle class to say that we need a new thing. So yeah, poor, ain't nobody jumping up being poor. It's hard, it kills you can kill you. Do you think you could be an activist and a

politician at the same time. Effectively we're gonna find out. Oh my god, and that us such a good question because I'm trying to wrap my mind around. You know, in college, I was an activist. I didn't necessarily consider myself an activist, but I think by today's standards, based on the work that I did, I would be considered an activist. And then I went into politics, and then I got my activism groove back on for the last

six seven years. And now it's my goal to get back into the active elected ministry and we will see. I think sometimes those things do collide at times, but that's no different than other things. All Right, we got more with Sena th that Nina Turning when we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are

the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Senator Nina Turner. Charlomagne, I'm going to ask you about the George Floyd policing that is it worth passing if qualified immunity is not abolished, like if that's something that Democrats are compromiser Qualified immunity must go part of me wants to say, yes, pass it and then break that down for people that don't

know what qualified immunity is. I'm sure there's people listening to be like, what does that mean the frameman that if you are a government official, and especially in law enforcement, that you're not you're held to a different standard. You get to get away with you're wrong, You're not judged in the same way as a civilian would if something happens that is tragic and ie shooting an unarmed person.

It is a protection that is given, particularly to law enforcement, that protects bad police officers, and we have to do something about it. So shall you ask me? I mean, part of me says, pass it and and work on qualified immunity on the other end. But another side of me says that we don't make that demand right now

and get it into the bill. The likelihood that it is ever going to be abolished, it's not gonna happen, Yeah, because I don't want them to do no symbolic you know, we got the bill passed on the anniversary of George Floyd and that's all it is. It's symbolic, Like what is in it that's going to act? Yeah, we we gotta go all the way. But I'm just saying I know how some people might say, well, just get what we can. Get what we've been taking what we can.

You know, it's time to make a demand. And that's again I'm running on the courage to ask for more. And black people need this and this nation needs this too. And when you have bad police officers or just bad systems, it's bad for the people who work in those professions, and it makes law enforcement less safe when there's no trust and no accountability. We got to we need more people on law enforcement who actually work in law enforcement

to call out their own that's right. Last we had a conversation about gun control also, and I wanted to get your thoughts on that. Where we were talking about Texas and how now you don't have to get like a mental health pack, a lot of things that you don't have to do. You just have to be a certain age and you can go and purchase a gun. What are your thoughts on those restrictions less restrictions. Yeah, it's insanity. I mean we got to have some balances,

some measures, some rules. I mean, even when you get a car, the car has to be registered. You gotta take a test to get a driver's license. They can track us based on that driver's license. And when I say track, I don't mean that in a bad way. So why doesn't that quality? Why owning a weapon should be even more so because it is a weapon and it can do a whole lot of harm and those who are responsible going on, owners should join in the movement to make sure that guns are not in the

hands of people that shouldn't be. Can you can you imagine the activist community and also legal gun owners coming together to fight for gun sense laws be a beautiful thing. You know, we own a lot of stations in Ohio. So for people listening, you know what is is what is need to turn as immediate agenda for the people in Ohio. First of all, equity within the COVID relief.

I do believe that we should be given two thousand dollars right now a month to people that fourteen hundred dollars while it was good ish, it was already spent for a lot of people. The electric bill was due to gas bills, due to car note, was due groceries. Do all of that stuff. It was spent and we're not out of the woods yet, and I think people don't get that. See, my proximity to paint is fully intact. And I was a part of the port, the working port,

in the barely middle class. I understand what it feels like to be food insecure, or how we would say it in my neighborhood, just flat out hungry. I was reading the article this morning. It came out from the Dayton Daily News in Ohio where the fastest growing jobs in Ohio from now through twenty twenty eight are jobs that pay less than fifteen dollars an hour full worker.

Retail workers the fastest growing jobs. And so just think about the economic inequality that is breeding through those data points. So to me, it is making sure that people have what they need. And why is it that we believe that poor people shouldn't be able to smell the roses or the tulips every now and then, buy certified use car every now and then, be able to take a vacation, even if it's within the United States of America. We have a paradigm in this country that if you are poor,

your life don't matter. You should be work two and three and four jobs. String all those jobs together, and if you have children, you might not have time to spend with them. And you talk a lot about the mentals. If you are always on like that just to survive, when do you get a time for you? So I

am fighting for a quality of life. It's an opportunity agenda that includes Medicare for all, increasing the minimum wage, canceling that by the way, which is a racial justice issue too, because black women carry the largest amount of student that. Hello, somebody on that. I want people to live, you know. I come from a faith tradition that says that I came that you might have life that Jesus talking,

and that you might have that life more abundantly. That's why sister Turners running, or in the words a Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, what the people want to simple? They want an America as good as this promise. I got the courage to ask for more. Yeah, I can't. I don't understand why there's any poor people in America and the working poor. How does that? Yeah? I don't get it. Yeah.

And when the country and a guy can have one hundred and sixty billion dollars or even just the money we spend in taxes, I feel like the money we spend in taxes per years. Should be able to keep people, you know, with something in their pocket whare they can live. But you know what's foul about that is you look at it, right, you see all these rich companies of rich people paying seven hundred and fifty dollars for taxes.

You see paying no tax. But then you look at a middle class person and you're seeing it paying twenty five percent. And that doesn't make sense, Like where's the fairness And how do you expect a minority to ever catch you up when you're not taxing the rich or they're getting through loopholes like crazy. That's why people that's trying to struggle and trying to be the first time earners and their family can't can't get a break at all.

There's an organization called Patriotic Millionaires that I want the Breakfast Club family to check them out. And what they are a group of millionaires who are saying tax us please, because the system is rotten to the core. It is wrong. Three white men control more wealth than one hundred and sixty million people combine. And that's Gates, that's Bazo, and that's Zuckerberg. What does that say? It says that this system. This is systemic, so systemic problems require systemic solutions. It

is rotten. I feel as though we're back in the Gilded Age, where wealth was running muck and the golf between the poor and those who had everything was wide. We are right back at that moment right now. I guess what happened after the guilded Age? Whatever? The progressive movement, Okay, and that's what we're doing right now, baby, moving to make some progress with the twenty first century version that has racial justice weaved into it too. Absolutely well, how

can people don't neate to your campaign? Please? Family, breakfast club, families. Sister Turner needs you. You can go to Nina Turner dot com. That is Nina Turner dot com, Time Talent Treasure.

The only special interest I'll have to answer to its people, the people. Yeah, I don't need to send it turn. I ain't know much about politics, but I know good people, and send it a Ni to turn is absolutely a great human, so are you and you DJ, and you Angela too. And I just

Thank you, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get you to the rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. This is the

Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Wendy Williams was given Nicki Minaj her props, and even though previously she hasn't had the nicest things to say about Nicki, now she is turning it around. And here's what she said on her show about nick But Nikki to me is definitely an icon and definitely a legend. She's done things that these young girls haven't even touched, even though they have one they have hit music. But

Nicki is different than the rest. I mean, Nikki is a great example of why going away sometime is the best thing for you. You know, you make people miss you and appreciate you more on your absence. I mean, Wendy didn't tell a lie, but I don't think that was ever up for debate, was it. Regardless of how anyone feels about Nikki personally, you can't deny what she's done for the coaches. She's absolutely an icon, yes, all right. Nicki Minaj responded, you are an icon and legend as well.

At Wendy's show, who are and congratulations to Arianna grand Day and Dalton the Gomez. They have gotten married in an intimate ceremony at their home over the weekend, and according to Arianna, Grande's rep. They confirmed to People Magazine they got married. It was tiny and intimate, less than twenty people. The room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn't be happier. Who's the boyfriend was husband? His name is Dalton Gomez. He's a

he's a realtor. He's a buyer's agent for a luxury real estate company called Aaron Kirkman Group. And he sounds like he's a member of the Adams family. Last name Golems. Congratulations though, all right, well, yes, congratulations to the two of them, all right. And Kim Kardashian bought Janet Jackson's

custom outfit from her IF music video. She paid twenty five thousand dollars for it, and she went on her Instagram stories to wish Janet Jackson a happy birthday, and she revealed that she did win that auction to get that nineteen ninety three outfit from the IF music video. She said for Janet Jackson's birthday, because I'm such a fan, I can't believe I won this on Julian's auctions. Yeah.

I was just debating with Dram Wilson here because he was saying that Rihanna would wash Janet Jackson verses and that nobody cares about Janet Jackson. Janet Jackson and music is dated. I literally just told him, do you know people still dresses Jane for Halloween? And they here go yee reporting this story. Kim Kardashian bayan want of Jane's old outfits. You're talking about an icon and always He's not a liar, He's just you're making things up hat dramas.

It wasn't even the conversation with comparison some verses that respect the icons and legendar. Do yall mind if I finished? Because I want to let you guys know the reason Janet is auctioning off these personal belongings and she is raising money for charity, So our percentage of that money goes to Compassion International. It's an organization that helps the overall development of children living in poverty worldwide. So she's been auctioning off a lot of different things. Now since

y'all brought up Rihanna. Rihanna is reportedly getting ready to put out her ninth album, and she's been lining up her video shoot in La. She's teaming up with British director Roger Verdi to film that video for her next album. That's her first and more than five years, and said she's been secretly working on new music for a long time and this album has finally come together. According to The Sun, I want a big rollout. I want a

massive rollout for Rihanna. I really appreciated Jay Cole's rollout. I don't want no surprise album. I want a nice, two week, huge rollout for really don't need it, though they've been waiting for You don't need it, but she deserves it. She could just drop Friday in it. It'll go cry. She don't need it, but she deserves it. I don't like us acting like a music is disposable, Like let's have the big rollout. Let's say it. Have

some anticipation, all right, and Snoop Dog. His daughter Cary Brothers, has revealed that she tried to take her own life as she's spreading awareness about mental health. Here's what you had to say via Instagram. You're fat or uglier dart this year. And I used to cry, like I mean cry, like at thirteen, I was ready to die. It's just so sad, crying to my mom like Mom, like I'm so ugly, like why did you have me? Why do I look like this? Why don't I look like my brothers? Why?

It was just so many? Why y y? Why? So? Just because you money and just because you're able to do certain things that people can't do, it doesn't mean you don't have a heart, You don't have a mind, you don't have a soul. Like I go through it just like everybody else. That's heartbreaking, man. That's why you have to get social emotional learning and mental health literacy in grade schools. Kids need therapists early, They need people to talk to. I would hate to grow up in

this era where everything is on social media. You gotta go through puberty, You gotta go through all your awkward phases via social media. Any mistake you make becomes your whole identity because of social media. You ever stopped to think we laugh at memes of funny looking people, are videos of kids doing dumb stuff, but those are actual people who have to live with that and the impact

that probably has on their mental health. And as a parent, what do you do do You say no, you can't get on social media, Like I know a lot of people allow their kids on social media at certain ages. I didn't allow my kids on social media to sixteen, but you know, it's what do you do? Because they're exposed to all of this, you know, and we were never exposed like the people like pimples I had, you know, buck teeth, I had four. I've been called everything from

four rides to metal mouth to everything. But I couldn't imagine that being times a hundred on social media. Yeah, man, all right, And Taragie has launched a campaign to help black students fight mental health struggles and racism and so it's called the Unspoken Curriculum. It's a six week program that's designed to help black children identify racial bias at school and speak openly about mental health. Yeah, it saluted

Taragi and Tracy. They're doing great work at the Boys Lawrence Hinston Foundation Drop on the Clues Bombs with Taragi pe Hinston and Tracy j. They are truly helping to eradicate the thing go around mental health with their foundation and all their works or someet That program runs from May seventeenth until June twenty first, and that will include discussions with mental health experts, virtual hangout spaces moderated by therapists and educators where students can speak openly about mental

health and their experiences in school. All right, and that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you, miss ye Charlemagne, Who are you giving that? Don kenchs and amas, I do not wake up? And I say, you know what, Florida, come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a world with you. But these Florida stories just be too good to be true. I just can't avoid them. So there's a guy named Anthony Woody, okay, emphasis on the Woody who needs to come to the front of

the congregation. We like to have a world with him. All right, we'll get back to the dunk of the day. Next it's the Breakfast Club co morning. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same. Angela ye here, And did you know that the General Insurance has been saving people money for nearly sixty years. That's a long time.

Get y'all well, do all were coming right to Jacksonville this morning? Okay.

Donkey of Today for Tuesday, May eighteen goes to a thirty three year old Florida man named Antony Eugene Woody. He is thirty three years old and Hale's from Orange Park, Florida, which is a suburb in Jacksonville. Sleute to everybody who listens to us on a ninety three point three to beat in Jacksonville. Dropping a clues bombs for the ville. Now, what did y'all Goshalla always say about the great state of Florida. The craziest people in America come from the

Bronx and all the Florida. I don't want y'all to think that I come in here looking for Florida stories. That is simply not the case. Okay, the's Florida store. He's come looking for me seeing certain stories I read about Florida. And I'm convinced that folks in Florida aren't even attempting to conceal they're crazy anymore. Thou'll know they

wide open with it. And Antony Woody is no exception. Okay, this man is hiding in plain sight because see he just pled guilty to a federal charge of advertising images depicting the sexualt the sexual little abuse of children for sale on the Internet. I don't even feel comfortable calling this man by his last name anymore. You can't be a pervert who's in the child porn, who's in the watching children be sexually abused on the internet, and your last name is Woody? What type of sickle did the

devil design you to be? This is like that courtroom scene and Devil's Advocate, where the little girl is describing what her abuser did to her, and the guy on trialhood the abuse is sitting in the courtroom getting an erection are A Woody as she's talking. But even though his last name is sick, especially for the crimes he pled guilty too. It's not like he could choose his last name. He was born into it, you know, probably comes from a long line of perverted slave owners who

all got wood He's watching child get abused. I don't even want to detail this because it makes my skin crawl. But back in twenty nineteen, the FBI discovered that an online user was using a particular social media application to offer child sex abuse images for sale on the internet.

The Clay County Sheriff's office received a cyber tip from the National Center from Missing and Exploited Children that someone with a very guilty youth the name was committing these crimes on Let's go to actually News Jacksonville for the report. Police County man, who investigators say is part of a group that shares child porn online, is under arrested. Clay County deputies and the FBI say he was sending and receiving child porn from a man in Boston. Anthony Woody

was arrested on child porn charges. Investigators with the FBI and Clay County Sheriff's Office say the thirty one year old was part of a group that shared graphic sexual images of children. Woody was later arrested at work or Detectives say they found numerous images of children being sexually exploited. M Now, that news report didn't tell you the best star should I say? Worst part of this story and the best worst part of this story was that this dude got jammed up because there was a big red

flag in his user name. If you are under investigation for selling child point, one of the fastest ways to get discovered is to have the user name I'm so freaky. I think this is worse than but that for three thousand. Due to the circumstances of the situation, this dude was selling child sex abuse images on the Internet and his user name was I'm so Freaky with two o's and two wise Florida. Y'all just don't give a damn no more, hunh. Y'all ain't got time to be discreet or to be

hiding anything. Huh, y'all outside with it. Imagine being charged with a hate crime against black people and you're using name was Niggas need to Die seventy eight. How do you not plead guilty when you got to use a name like that? It's like either you are perfect to the highest degree, which is obvious in this case. Are you really like the record on cam by Young Blue and money Bag? Yo? Remember when people were doing that I'm too freaky challenge that I record? Remember that, Remember this,

Remember this too freaky? Remember this challenge on TikTok. Remember it was doing that challenge on TikTok me neither, but it happened. Okay, I bet you can't do this challenge the same. After hearing this story, I think this guy should be charged based on the amount of wise and Oh's in his name. Okay, He's got two wise in his name, and according to the hay chart. Do you see this hay chart right here? This is the hay chart. Okay, I'm holding it up to the camera. The hay chart.

Two wise and well one why in the hay chart means friends. Two wise in the hate chart means I think I like you. Anthony used two wise, Three wise is take the hint, dumb ass, Four wise is less f and five wise is I'm drunk. Okay, he had two eyes and two olds. Therefore Anthony Woody is emitting a he likes kids because he's two wise and the two olds. If he's facing a mandatory minimum of fifteen years and thirty in federal prison, I think he should

actually get twenty. He should get twenty for each y, so that's forty. Then he should get fourteen and a half years for each oh, which brings him to a grand total of sixty nine years in prison, which I think is very appropriate for this offense. Please let mmy give Anthony Woody the biggest he haw heh heh, you stupid mother? Are you dumb? Some sick people in this world, especially in Florida? All right, Well, shout out to our knew his family member, Tampa, Florida. Good morning, guys, Good

morning Tampa. How are you Welcome to the family, Welcome to the club. Decide here waiting for y'all to slip up. I know it's coming, you know it's coming. Just what the sick I know it's coming, all right now, thank you for that Donkey to day. Now when we come back, we have head coach of the New York Knicks, Tom Thibodeaux joining us. You know, he was an assistant coach for the Spurs the seventy six is the Knicks back in the day, the Rockets. He was also a head

coach for the Celtics, Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves. And now he's back as head coach of the New York And all I would tell is, I would say, all NBA fans, you know what I'm saying. You can always appreciate, you know, an interview from a coach, our player. I know a lot of Americas like I don't give a damn about the coach of the New York Knicks. But the New York Knicks have not been in the playoffs in eight years.

Eight years, correct, This is a big deal. Tom Thibodeau is absolutely positively the NBA coach of the year if he's not who And we're talking to him when we come back, all right, So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, The Breakfast Club out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the line. That's right. The NBA hold you the year and it's not even close. If it's

not Tom t, then who is Who is it? That's right? And Tom Thibodeaux is here. Good morning, Good morning. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. First, I just want to say thank you for years being a New York Mixed fan. We've been we've been broke, our hearts have been broken. It's been hard to watch. Finally we got a good team and you guys are playing some great

ball and you're coaching some great young men. So let's first talk about why did you want to come to the New York when you decided to come to New York Because New York was bad for a long time. Yeah. So I grew up in Connecticut and my dad was a Knicks fan, So I came to the Garden when I was a young kid. And then in the nineties I had an opportunity to be an assistant coach under Jeff Van Gundy and with those great teams with Patrick

Ewing and Alan Houston, Latrulle Spreewell, Larry Johnson. So I saw what it was like and you know, and I go way back to the seventies with you willis Read and Walf Fraser and that team, and you know, I know what the game means to the city, what the Knicks means to New York City. So growing up like that, then having an opportunity to be here in the nineties,

I was excited when this opportunity came up. And you know, if you're a kid that grows up in Connecticut, I had an opportunity to be with Boston in two thousand and eight, and then of course being here doesn't get much better than that, but there's no place like New York City. Did you have any reservations about taking the

Knicks job because of the reputation of the owner, James Doland. No, I didn't, because in the nineties, towards the end of that time, it's when he initially bought the team and right from that and I was an assistant coach and it was a brief period of time, but he treated me great as an assistant coach and always felt through the years Jim Dolan always provided resources for the team, so I knew he would be a great owner uh to be with and then of course having Leon Rose

and Worldwide West William Wesley. Those are two of my best friends. So it doesn't get much better than that. I knew the support would be there. Uh. And then of course just having the group of guys that we have. We have an unbelievable team. I have a great coaching staff that's with me and it's been it's been very enjoyable for me. Yeah, when you wanted to bring Derek Rose back, what would have thoughts? Because I'm sure people would like ah, but he's proved to be a great

asset to the team. Yeah. And Derek's special and so I had an opportunity to be with him in Chicago, his youngest MVP in the history of the league, and unfortunately his injuries derailed him for a period of time. He had went through, Uh, he had gone through three consecutive years of he have and that's that's very difficult to one year for a pro athlete, It's very difficult. But to be able to go through that and then

come out on the other side. And if you really studied his career, even the time that he was here in New York before he's when he's healthy, Derk Rose has always played well. He's a winner, he's a team first guy. He's always been a great teammate. I think he and Tosh have been great for us just because of the way they've won their entire careers, their playoff experience, veteran leadership, and I felt that we needed that here so just to get to build a foundation and to

get it going right. They've been a huge asset for us. You know, you talked about world Wide West and you know, of course yourself. What do you think is the biggest attributes y'all bought to the Knicks that have changed the culture, because that's what I see with the Knicks, I see a culture changed. What do you think that biggest attribute is. I think it's everyone being aligned from the owner to Leon. Leon is very pragmatic and then there's only one world

Wide West and he's a great relationship builder. He's got connections with everyone, uh and it's made it a lot of fun. And I think our players feel the connection between everyone. So everyone's on the same page, We're all working towards the same goal. Everyone's willing to sacrifice and put the team first, and that's what you need to be successful in this league. You know, I need you

to be honest with me, head coach. When you when you looked at what you had on paper at the beginning of the season, did you say, Okay, we got something here. Did you say, oh, no, I would look. I was excited about the opportunity just because I you know, I felt strongly about the Knicks and uh Leon and West. And then when I first got hired, I'll tell you a funny story. I asked Julius to come in just to spend some time with him. It was, you know,

it was during the pandemic. I think the next day he jumped on a flight and he came up here, and so we had a chance to spend like three or four days together, and I worked him out myself, and when he got here, I was just really impressed the type of shape that he was in because it was in the middle of hand them very difficult to go anywhere to work out or work on your game. And I could see, you know, you always have preconceived notions of what a player's like when having coached against him.

But then once I got to know him, and I saw the conditioning that he had, you know, the work that he had put in and I also noticed that his shot was different and he was really shooting the ball well. So I could tell that he had put a lot of time into it. And if you could recall, the Knicks weren't part of the bubble last year, so he maximized that time to work on his game. And after those four days, I knew that he could be the leader that we needed. And I could recall back

to the nineties. I remember when I first got hired Patrick Dealing. He was our best player and he was the first guy in. He was in an unbelievable shape, great work capacity, and obviously when you combine that with talent, that's the best leadership you could have. And so when I saw the way Julius was approaching it and how committed he was to getting this thing turned around, I felt we would have a good chance. We got more with the New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau. When

we come back, don't move as to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we ought to Breakfast Club. We have New York Knicks head coach clinching a playoff birth for the first time in eight years, Tom Thibodeau joining us now Charlomagne. How good is Julius Randall coach? You know, the thing that impresses me the most is and when you look

at the numbers, they're staggering. There's but there are players to get numbers that don't impact winning, and Julius has had a monster season, but the way he's impacted winning has changed everything for us. And so the challenge I think for a great player in this league is not only to bring the best out of themselves, but to bring the best out of the group out of the group. And he's done that. And I said, like I said, the best thing that he does is the example that

he sets each and every day. It's not really the things that he's saying, it's more the things that he's doing, The way he works in each practice, the way he prepares himself. All that stuff goes a long way. When your best player does that, then everyone follows. When you look at a guy like RJ. Barrett and he's only twenty years old and the way he's playing and the way he's growing, I think he's going to be a special player in this league. You know, Julius Random has

been getting a lot of MVP chants. Who who who is your vote for MVP? Would you vote for Julius m VP this year? That's my personal vote, I can tell you that. So you know, and I think it's it's hard. There's a number of guys obviously you can make a case for, but in terms of impact on a team, for me, it's Julius And you know, and I know he The thing that I love about him is he wants to continue to get better. He's not satisfied.

And I think all the great ones have that. You know, that's every year they want to add to their game. And so you know, I'm obviously I'm biased, he's ours, but I love him. Now let me ask you, do you think the league is getting too soft? You know, because you talked about a time where you said Patrick Hugh and Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, the league was tough.

Natal league seems really soft and you can you know what fat let me go instant replaying, look in the camera and see if it were like that's kind of it's I don't know if I like that too much. No, but you know, the thing is, and when you think about the NBA game. It's constantly changing. You know, there's

different styles. The nineties were different, the eighties were high scoring, the early two thousands where there were different The rule changes brought more skill and speed into the game, and so it's it's probably geared more towards the offense, but when you really look at it, the same things go

into winning. It's commitment to to excel on both sides of the ball, to be willing to sacrifice, to be strong on offense, strong on defense, to share the ball, and those are the teams that advance in the playoffs. So I think you always begin with the end of mind and know you got to have the things that you believe in. You know, I think work, discipline, playing

for each other, it's all the same. You know. I was wondering because you know, Envy mentioned the veterans just now, did you have conversations with Dolan about the way they've treated, you know, New York Knicks legends like Oakley and Ewing in the garden, because I think relationships with those veterans

would be important. Did you have conversations about that. I was here during the nineties and I saw how great it was, so I knew it could be great, and I always felt like with Jim, whatever you asked for, and he's been phenomenal with us. Whatever we've asked for, he's given us. And that's where I think guys like leon In West are so good because that's their whole careers. That's what they've been. They've been connectors. They bring the best out of people. Uh In you know, I know

we have a rich tradition here. I think there's there's a few teams in the NBA that are totally different. I know what the Knicks mean to New York City. I know what the Bulls mean to Chicago, and obviously what the Lakers mean to LA And I think that when you look at this the the players that we've had here, and you see guys like Walt and Alan Houston part of the organization, we know we have a tradition, uh and we're going to make sure that it's right.

You know, people always say the NBA is better when the Knicks are winning. Well, why why is that true? Well? I think you know, as they say, you know, it's the mecca of basketball, the Arena. I know from from having been here, from being on an opposing team, I know how players feel when they come in and play in the garden. There's only one Madison Square Garden. Uh and it's the best place in the world to play.

And it's a it's a city that loves basketball and so and they love their Knicks and and uh and so hopefully we can give them something to be proud of. But this is a special place that you guys have been around here, you know what it's like. And when there's big games in the Garden, there's nothing like it. Well, I got two more questions for you, Coach. One is well the next ever matter as much as the Knicks in New York. I know you guys would have to

answer that. I think there there's a lot of great stories. I know growing up in Connecticut in following the you know the Knicks forever, and just when you travel around to all the different cities, there's Knicks fans in every arena, and so I think that the Knicks have a special place in New Yorker's hearts. Yeah, I think the answer is no. I mean I think that y'all, y'all going to the playoffs this year seems to me a bigger story, Like unless the Nets win it all. You know, every

team feels their team is special. But I think in terms of the league in New York, you know, I think the interest in the Knicks has always been high. Whether it's been good or bad, it's the interest is always there. I think, like many people, you grow up and you know, you hear stories all the time about you know, someone's father, someone's uncle, someone's brother took them to a game and that's how they became a Knicks fan, you know, And I know that that holds true for me.

But uh, just walking around and seeing all the familiar faces. I mean, there are a lot of people that are still here that we're here from the nineties, and I think that's what makes it special. How did you feel when you heard Zion Williamson say how much he loves playing in the garden. Well, I think I think he was speaking the truth, you know, as I said, I know when I was in Chicago or Minnesota or Boston and coming in here or Houston, you know that you come in and you can tell how fired up your

players are. You know, you make a good basketball play in the garden. The fans recognize that, and it's the atmosphere. It's the passion for the game. Uh, it's all those things. So I think every player in this league loves playing in the Madison Square Garden. What's the best team in New York. That's a tough one. But I ain't tell you about to say to nixt what do you mean? Honestly, you know, I got to believe that it's our team, you know, because that's that's what I do believe, you know.

And I think if you ask a number of people, they would say it's their team. But and as I told our players at the beginning of the season, it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It only matters what we think, what we think we can do. And so and I know, I got a special group of guys. We have a special group of guys here. They put everything they have into each and every day and they've sacrificed a lot in Our focus has been on daily

improvement and that's where it will remain. And we want to keep driving until we get what we ultimately want. And what's the most challenging team you guys are going to have to face that you faced already this year. That you know, what's going to be a challenge is there any one team that you say, Okay, that team is is a tough one, Yeah, Atlanta, Atlanta's yeah, because that's the next one. That's right. Yeah, that's right. And that's really been our approach all year. It's just focus

on exactly what's in front of us. In this lead is challenging because it's very easy to get distracted. If you look backwards or you look ahead, you're gonna miss being focused on what is exactly in front of you. So I think that's important for us to understand what goes into win each and every day. Absolutely. Well, listen, congrats coach. You know, got to salute you on everything that the Knicks have done this year. I mean it's a big, big, big accomplishment. You know, New York has

been suffering. Knicks fan has been suffering for eight years. So just to see all in the playoffs and playing hard, y'all be in every game, you know, that's a testament to the defensive minded, you know, mentality you brought to the squad. So congrats to you, world wide West in the whole gang over there. Man, all right, appreciate you guys, Thanks for having me on. Thank you, Thank yous to Breakfast Club.
