Yeah, so we're gonna kick it with Kirk next hour. All right, let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well, monthly car payments have hit a record high, and we'll

talk about also a gas manager who was fired. He was selling gas for sixty nine cents a gallon. He messed up? Boy? Did he mess up? Boy? That was a messed up for doing the right thing. No he didn't. Oh, we'll talk about it. Great number. Look at that man, you're starting already a right when you Why didn't you love to pay sixty nine cents for gas? You find I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know where your mind is, sir. I'm just saying I would

love to pay sixty nine cents for gas. I'm sure you would get that. I'm a number. And how would you pump that gas? Which way? Would you pump it? From the front? Slow? Slow? From the back slow? I would enjoy every single moment. Can you imagine paying sixty nine cents a gallon? How how joyous you would feel? You would relish that? Okay, we don't even pump on gas in Jersey. You get out and pump it yourself. I'm gonna go to another room. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Clubles's getting some front page news now tonight. The Warriors close out this NBA Finals Warriors six Boston Celtics in Boston tonight, so we'll see what happened. I expect Steph Curry and Clay Thompson to go off. I expect to see Game six, Game six, Clay show up tonight. I think they're gonna go to Game seven. I mean, I haven't really seen Tatum. I

think Tatum's what do you mean, Tatum in balling all series? Like, I don't know why y'all keep I don't know why y'all get back in Like Tatum hasn't showed up. Tatum had been balling all series. Have you been watching the game? Datum literally had had his highest shooting percentage last game. I'm serious. Okay, let's get some front page Satum daveraging at least twenty four this series? All right? At California

gas station managers out of a job. He accidentally was charging customer sixty nine cents a gallon from the premium gasoline instead of the six ninety nine that it was supposed to be. Put the decimal point in the wrong placed. So the ex manager is John Czech Hassina, and it's an independently owned shell station. So people were going crazy. They said they stormed that Shell gas station in Rancho Cordova, California. Afterwards spread on social media and it ended up custing

the gas station. About twenty thousand dollars by the way, so they'll get into heaven. They're doing a they do you have a go for me, And so they're trying to raise twenty thousand dollars, and because they want to repay his old employer, so they want to raise the money that was lost. So far, it's not And you were right with Tatum. He had twenty seven, twenty three, twenty six, twenty and twelve. You were correct. Warriors in six, I say, step the Splash Brothers are gonna show a

big to night. Step kerg gonna score fifty, gonna score thirty plus, right, right, And I know that you could just do that. You could just set the gas prices yourself. Well, he's the manager, so he has to. You know, when the gas prices changed, somebody has to change them. And it's an independently owned station. Damn it. He made a mistake, right, but he did help a lot of people twenty thousand dollars mistakes, I'm sure a lot of people felt like that was a blessing, you know, step the people that

independently on that pass. I agree, but you know, you got to look at this. There's two sides everything. Yes, they lost twenty thousand dollars, but then a lot of people got to fill up their gas thing today or that day. All right. Now, monthly car payments have hit a record high of seven hundred and twelve dollars last month. So that is the average monthly car payment. They said that new vehicle prices averaged about forty seven thousand dollars.

That's the second highest on record. Ever. Let me tell you, guys, I got a Ford Explorer right fully loaded. It was one seventy eight, three years ago. That was the lease on the car. I had to turn that car in, and I wanted the same car again, and for the same car again. That car is five ninety eight. From one seventy to five ninety That is ridiculous for the

same car, nothing different. That's ridiculous, Pam, I ended up getting a new car, and it's ridiculous, all right, y'all wished the car dealer had made a mistake and sold it to y'all lower price. And I can guarantee you then be like, actually, this is what you Yeah, all right, Now, the Federal Reserve has typed interest rates by point seventy five percent, and that's significant. They raised those rates yesterday, escalating a strategy. They're trying to increase borrowing costs to

dial back inflation. How does that help. We're just talking about payments are high and they're gonna raise interest rate some more. Well, they want to. So what that does is, in theory, it should slash inflation by slowing the economy and eating away at demand. So that's the strategy. So if you remember during the pandemic, when people weren't spending money like that, that's why they lowered it so much

in order to increase people's purchasing. But now they want to slow it down, and so that's gonna increase everything from credit card fees to mortgage rates. Oh my goodness, it's up baby. Yeah. They're saying that this does show confidence in the health of the job market, because there's a lot of jobs available now, But the speed with which interest rates are expected to go up underscores the concern about the cost of the storing cost of living. Also,

So let me ask you a question. Yesterday I was driving by in a past Burger King Burg King said, we're hiring. We're paying fifteen dollars an hour. Right, you're gonna pick up a job, yes, fifteen dollars an now, right? But if interest rates go over six percent to purchase a home, even a small home or whatever it may be, how could you possibly afford it? Would interest rates at six seven percent and you're making fifteen dollars now, how

does that work? That's exactly why inflation is a problem, sir, because it's like, even if you do have that job and you're bringing home money, everything's going up. So you kind of in the same position. Credit card rates going up, interest rates going up. You told me a call going up. So if I end up going back down, you know, just right now they're trying to slow down the economy. It's not going to stay there. So, I mean, the only thing we could do at this point and stuck

it out like that's just the truth, didn't matter. There's really nothing you can do. Like you know, you have to buy a gas, you have to pay your car payments, you have to pay your rent, like you have no choice. So you know, if you can pick up another job or do some extra things to make some money. You just you got to what happen to those crypto people? Remember the crypto people. I was like, I mean the same thing that happened to the stock market people. Nine.

Everything's down, but some people look at it like, hey, it's on sale right now if you have the money to Yeah, if you have the money, which a lot people Don't's be clear, as stock marketing and crypto and all that is for extra money. It's not like you're supposed to be doing that with money that you can't spare. If you can't spare it, don't do. In a capitalist society,

the rich keep getting richer, That's all it is. And when situation when situations like this happened and people are down, people that actually have money they take advantage, so Athlete. That's just the way the system is designed. I'm going to bury King after the job, all right. I saw a commercial yesterday for a quarter part of it. That thing looks so good that what that quarter pint of commercial they made that quarter pint that looks so damn

tasty on TV yesterday, Boy chicken fries over there. Now. I was like, I can tell I don't like. I don't like how them chicken fries look. I like, I don't like my chicken and fried for him. I saw, I know the burke Can commercial. You guys probably on a clue mom from McDonald and burke King. Y'all got some tasty ass looking absolutely commercials. Yes, and the way food costs right now. Four dollars for everything, four dollars for a whole menu sounds like a good boy? What

Well, we'll tell you who lied and said that he actually had to back out of a tour because he was watching the solar eclipse without wearing eye protection. My goodness. All right, we'll get into that. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

It's about Angela needs Breakfast Club. All right, Well, Joey Badass does admit that the solar eclipse stunt that he did. He said those things because he was quitting the Logic Tour. If you guys recall this happened back in twenty seventeen, he said, am I crazy for watching the eclipse today with no glasses? I've sungazed before and afterwards saw colors for a whole day. I didn't die though. They ain't the first solar eclipse, and I'm pretty sure our ancestors

didn't have no fancy eyewear. Also pretty sure they ate all ain't going blind. Then the next day, he tweeted out, due to unforeseen circumstances, my Cleveland, Chicago, and Toronto shows on the Everybody Tour are canceled. All right, So now he's on social media and he said, speaking of solar eclipses, you know, I never got any type of eye damage from that solar eclipse ish that happened. I just really

wanted an excuse to be off the Logic Tour. Blogs literally created a story, and I went with it because it was convenient for me at the time. But it was also funny to see how gullible people are it taught me a valuable lesson. Whatever the media puts out in unison, people will simply believe even if the source is in validated. Scary world. Oh we know that that was five years ago. It's only gotten worse. I wonder if you could get a sued for that, though, And

he said, and logic is my n word. By the way, I ain't with no logic slander. The tour just wasn't serving me well at the time, he's half your word. He's stupid. But I wonder if you could get sued that, because you know, you running a toy and you're saying I can't do the tour anymore because of well, he probably told logic the real reason, and then that was just something public, So I don't know that you could get sued for that. He never said that, right, they

ran with it. Well, I guess he put that yea, And then the next day he never said that. I looked at the sun all right. Now, Monique and Netflix have reached a settlement in the lawsuit, the discrimination lawsuit that was citing racial and gender biases. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they're saying that the two sides of the legal disagreement have moved to dismiss the suit, and specifics

regarding the agreement have not been made public. The two so that they came to some sort of agreement behind the scenes and dismissed it. It was a monetary we don't know. We don't know, we said, it's not public, so I don't know what if there was any monetary compensation or whatever. But they have moved on past that. Okay. Shaquille O'Neill has paid a tab of over twenty five

thousand dollars and that was for the entire restaurant. He was on a date at Julon Club in New York City, and not only did he give a generous tip to the wait staff, he also covered the tab for everybody that was there. Was forty tables that night. Shout the shock. He does that a lot, though, but shout the shock man. So must have been a nice surprise for everybody who was there. Like what no, Bill, I'm telling you, especially in this era when you were even though people that

were probably they're probably having money. But just when you can give somebody a little bit of relief, do it shock? Does that a lot to shock he'll be in Best Buy and buy people's stuff. He'll be in restaurant too. He does that a lot sneaker stores. And congratulations to Snoop Dogg and his wife. They celebrated their twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Nice. They went on vacation to Bora, Bora, so shout out to them now. His wife, Sean te

brod Is tweeted out, we go together real bad. After all these years, we still look at each other the same Alexa plate anniversary from Tony. Tony you go together real bad, said that was his first vacation in thirty years. Thirty years. Yeah, I guess because he's always traveling. So it's like, you know, does it really work if you're having fun doing it? Yeah, it's the best work is

Front Page News is next. It's the Breakfast Club Morning. So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Angela, you here. The General Insurance is a quality insurance company that's been saving people money for nearly sixty years. Switch to the General and you

could save over five hundred dollars. Call eight hundred General or visit the General dot com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. And Insurance Agency, Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. Morning. Everybody is stech Envy angela ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news Tonight. The Warriors take on the Boston Celtics for games six. They wrap it up tonight. Warriors in six. I expect Steph Curry to have a fantastic game. I said fifty

points a better. I'm just talking though, but Game six player is definitely gonna show up. But I feel like they close it out tonight. Now. I think Boston takes this win at home, but I don't see it. We'll see what else we got easy. All right, Well, the record heatwave is continuing, with one hundred million people affected.

More than twenty states are seeing dangerously hot temperatures this week, and they're saying in Chicago they actually hit ninety eight degrees and that's their warmest weather since two twelve, and in Detroit ninety seven degrees yesterday. It's the hottest recorded June temperature in the city since two twelve. Now, this heat is causing death in Kansas cattle, so they're saying an estimated ten thousand head of fat cattle have died because of this, so final death numbers continue to come in,

but that was just an early number. Now, listen, you know, I'm from South Carolina in the low country eight four three months, corner all day, so I'm used to hell like condition. But when I was in Dallas this weekend, I've never felt no heat like that. Like we was in the car and said it was one hundred and eight degrees and when you stepped outside, it felt every bit of it, to the point where I was like, look, while we're outside, we're not going to walk around too much.

Does everybody as still as possible? Okay, drink a lot of water. And it was one of those things like we was at Bishop Tdj's birthday party, so while people were walking in, you're just getting the wave until I can get inside, okay. And nobody walking over this greeting nobody right now? It's too hot. Yeah, and it's really dangerous and divided. They're saying, with the dry conditions and extreme heat, it's opportunity for wildfires. Wow, so that's another

danger all right. Now, Today's January six hearings are continuing and the focus today is going to be about Vice President former Vice President Mike Pence, and so Committee aids are saying that Trump's pressure campaign against Pence directly contributed to the violence on January six They said Mike Pence's life was in danger as rioters were chanting, hang Mike Pence.

There's going to be new materials and documents about Mike Pence's movement on January sixth and what he was doing when the Senate Chamber was forced to evacuate after rioters briefed the US capital. Their hearing is also going to focus on Trump's attorney John Eastman's theory. The theory was that Pence had the authority to overturn the election results when Congress certified Joe Biden's victory. It was a theory that Trump's own White House attorneys said was not true.

They rejected that, but his allies embraced what John Eastman had to say, and so that's gonna also basically, they have a bunch of emails that they sent related to the efforts to overturn the election that could shed new light on Donald Trump's attorneys thinking in the days leading up to January sixth, and they are reiterating Pence did

not have the authority to subvert the election. So yeah, I mean, I always thought that was so strange that defect that all of those people was chanting to hang Mike Pence and they didn't get charged with threatening a government official, Like that's a felony, Like that's a felony that's punishable by up to five years of prison. That should have been a layer, right. So you know, we've been encouraging people to make sure that you pay attention

to what's going on. And you know, Donald Trump is right now weighing whether to announce his twenty twenty four bid before the mid terms, and so his advisors are divided on the timing of what should happen. He's been talking to people and trying to figure out what he should do. He could announce now it would this case will impact nothing unless they're going to actually press charges on Donald Trump, and they already said that they have enough to indict him. Unless they're gonna do that, it's

not going to impact nothing. By the way, they couldn't indict him, and it still wouldn't inpact nothing. His supporters are die hard. All right, Well that is your front page news, all right, thank you, miss ye now when we come back, Kirk Franklin will be joining us. He has a new project dropping. He's on tour and we're gonna kick it with them mine, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club, The Breakfast

I think it was like eight hour. It was like eight or nine hours. Couldn't this gracefer driving over flying anyway? Though, you know, it just kind of depends on where you're driving, you know,

kind of piss where you're driving. I would have preferred flying absolutely right there. But because the tour bus was driving so fast, all the eggs were falling out of the fridge. And yeah, man, it's like it was horrible. It was horrible last night. People were falling out of bunks because we were speeding trying to get here. You know, again it's the Breakfast Club. Well, no, we appreciate you. You're Kirk Franklin, so let's not forget that. Absolutely, this

is a big deal. You know, we need your energy at times, all the time because there's so much going on in the world. Yeah it is, Yeah, it is, Yeah, it is, man, And that's why I'm glad to be here to talk about. Man, this new collab with these kids, and I got the hat on. But because their bus, uh it's like about thirty forty minutes behind, and so you know, um and yeah, trust me, because the studio

was supposed to be full of them. So really today, man, I want to just really celebrate, man, these kids that I want America to know there's a community of young people that knew about them but there's a whole other community that I really want to introduce them to tell us about them, Yeah, yeah, from tell us about him already signed to you. Oh no, no, no no, no, no no. They were founded by these two incredible guys, Tony and JJ.

And Tony and JJ were very prolific in the contemporari Christian space, writings really huge Christian songs, and they put together this collective of like these little young juggernauts, like I call them the Avengers, and it's like a collective of these young worship kids. And so over the last few years it has exploded, Like we don't tour right now, and the average attendant, the average at tennis is ten thousand. Yeah,

it's just sold out tour. So Maverick City, all right, So correct me or I just want you to explain the inception of it. So it was it more like a writing camp when it started, Okay, So tell me how this happening, okay, And I'm giving it to you. Second,

and this because remember this happened outside of me. You know, I'm just here really because I was really really blessed me part of this collab album, you know, kind of like you know how you saw Lincoln Park and Jay, I'm not calling myself Jay, I'm not calling myself Jay.

I know I'm Kirk, you know. But they were songwriters that came from like these worship I mean, they were just they were like worship leaders at the church and they came together as like young writers up under Tony and JJ who you know, shout out to them because everything started with the vision from them and then they they just put these kids together and they just started writing in like houses and cribs and the songs started to take off. And what really blew them up, uh

was YouTube. They were posting all of their worship stuff on YouTube and men they would get like fifty sixty million views and yeah, yeah, so you know, it's just it's beautiful to see what they've done in the space. A lot of it has been in the contimporarate Christian space, and now they are also kind of, you know, just just really gaining momentum and gospel and for people that don't know, historically contimporati Christian has mainly been non African

American and gospel has been mainly African. It's unfortunate. I've always hated that. Yeah, contimburate. Christian has always been more about other brothers and sisters, and then gospel has been mainly black and brown. What made what made you go in the role with them and do a project with them? You know, because you've done numerous projects I'm sure they

have done. So what made you say, you know what, I'm gonna extend my arm and introduced them to the people that already my fans, people that follow me, the people that are already been following me. What made you do that? Wow? Well, great question. Well I was invited. They they they've reached out to me and they didn't have to. But I'm telling you, man, their machine is growing like like it's a phenomena, right, Angela, it's a phenomena. It has to give you like a fresh type of

energy too. I'm humble by mad humble book. They didn't have to. Like I'm telling you, these kids are bye by themselves, you know, like they've always shown me love, They've always called me. You know, they was coming, uncle Kirk, and you know, you know, we're following in your footsteps, but really they're killing my footsteps. And so Monday morning after Super Bowl I got a call about yo man, what do you think about you and uh Math City doing this two together like a co headline two and

we're on stage together the whole night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like it's a co headlining tour. And it's like we were at Prudential Center last week. It wasn't a seat available and you've been a Prudential Yes. Now it looks led just from the videos that you guys have been posting. So the album Kingdom Book one that you guys a collaboration album. Can you talk about the process of recording that together? Yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am. You know Tony and

JJ's vision. Tony's mom was incarcery and so he as as a young boy, he would have to go visit her in prison and then and what's crazy about it is that my sister has been in and out of prison all her life for the drug addiction. So she was incarcer the longest, like fifteen years. My grandfather was in prison for murder and so, and then my sister's dad was in prison, so and unfortunately they were all in prison at the same time the state of Texas. So it's I come from that type of background as

far as myself person or I could identify. So what we did is we recorded the album in a prison in Miami, Florida in the Everglades. So we recorded this album live in a prison, bro And and you've got the men of this prison standing behind singers and standing next to singers, and we went in earlier and they were teaching them. They were teaching the prisoners the songs. So you got the prisoners singing along with sopranos and altoles and tenors and dudes and just like this big

hosh part of just people needing hope. It's because you know, you can be still on the outside but still being prisoned, you know what I'm saying. And so you've got people

that are all looking for freedom. And the first single, one of the lines is we're singing freedom, you know, and our testimonies we'll be singing forever and ever always, And so you know, man, we just want to show people what the kingdom looks like because you know, you know, we also know that some people are victims, are massing coarceration, and we also know that there are some men that

have made mistakes. We just want to show people that if you've made mistakes or if you were looked over or if you were done wrong, that your story doesn't end behind bars. I tell you, guys, at a video to that song where it's actually in a prison, yes, man, and I think it's a thirteen hundred inmates were providing the chorus and the vocals. You know how amazing that

is when you watch the video. It is really because it is such an issue in our community, mass incarceration and seeing something like that is really like, these are human beings and a lot of times there's so much inhumane treatment when you're incarcerated that it's hard for people. People don't have a lot of sympathy too. Yes, they think you're in jail, you did something wrong, you're a bad person, and that is not really how it goes. Yes, most of the time. Yes, as soon as my sister

got out of prison, just the lack of support. If her brother was not Kirk, you know, some of these things would have just got overlooked it, you know. And can you imagine how many people get out and don't have the resources right. I remember when my sister got out the very first time, it was it was over twenty years ago, and I got her a place to stay. I gotta put in situations. But if if she didn't

have those resources, she would have got lost. And so I think it's beautiful what Ton and JJ are doing. I think that this album it's going to speak to people that are either behind bars and their minds or souls or physically that everybody makes up the King. All Right, we got more with Kirk Franklin when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne, the guy we are

the Breakfast Club was still kicking in with Kirk Franklin. Now, recently, you said at a show that you felt like our generation let down the younger generation. Why do you feel that way? Oh, man, I do. It's because I really do feel, especially when it comes to faith. It's I believe that when it comes to faith, that we let religiosity lead the narrative of people's relationship with God, meaning that we set principles that were more cultural than they

were bibliocentric. You know, whether it's like you know makeup, I will you know how you dress or what you say, or you can't do this, you can't do that, like we lead with the narrative or what you can't do. Well, that's a horrible way to start a conversation. That's a horrible way to build a relationship. Is that if I meet you, the first thing I do it is I give you a list of what you can't do. But

the narrative of the faith, especially the Christian faith. And and that's why we say that Western Christianity and that teaches of Jesus Christ are not synonymous, right, they are not the same. And so if I give you a list of your freedoms and everything that is written with love, ink, then we have a better opportunity to kind of get a great start. But what we did is that we passed onto the next generation at least to what they

can't do. Right. This is wrong. This is wrong, And that's a hell of a way to start a relationship. And so that is a great mistake that we've done with passing to the next generation the message and the love of Jesus. Yeah. No, you're right. I've heard stories of young girls who get pregnant getting kicked out of their church. Sat down. Yeah, And Saucy Santana, he was up here talking about his mom is a pastor and you know when he came out, it was like we

got to pray this gay out of you type of situation. Yeah, it's very unfortunate that we have not done life with people, but to do life with people, it's very intrusive. It's very invasive. You know. It's because the real church, it's supposed to let you in, and we're supposed to let you into our junk. It's like the problem. The reason why we keep people on length away, it's that because if we let you into close, you get to see that we don't have it together as much as we

try to make sure that you got it together. Now, you also had Kingdom Business. So it's so interesting that you yes, and I saw the first two episodes on BT Plus and so what I like about that is everything you just kind of touched on here is kind of what Kingdom Business is about. And it's your first

time also in that role where you're producing. You produced the right executive producer alone with Devon Franklin, Holidays, Carter, shout out to them, shout out to BT and if you could tell, they really put a bag behind Yeah it looks good. I mean, just boy who's in it? And then bringing y'all on board to put a bad man. And it is a story of the church and the juxtaposition of who can come in, who's allowed in, and who has to say so who can it can't come in? Right?

So can you see a stripper as a gospel singer? Yeah? Accepted? Yeah, as a gospel singer because really, like you can find God anywhere, find God in the strip club, and that's a great way to reach that audience. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm going to the strip, but you're not going to say if you want to be a gospel singer you can't, because well it's I would say that if you want to be a gospel singers, she has really great questions looking to see see this wouldn't know what

she's doing. That's right, she's been practicing. I am saying that all of our faiths. Uh, it is a journey, right. It's almost like it's a married man. Can a married man go to a strip club and still have a healthy marriage. I would think that at some point the love relationship of the wife should pull the man, and another trajectory that she should not have to be on his back about it. But see, love should pull us but if there's good seafood in there, because you know

a lot of this stubs. I know your wife love seafood, know your This is hilarious because it's really what I'm trying to say this is, you know, let me tell us about the breakfast club. They know what they're doing. If you come up in here, you gotta be prepared. I would say the Red Lobicer got good biscuits too, and so yeah, yeah, so yeah, if you want to look at biscuits, you can go to Red Lobster and look at them biscuits. You know. The records playing is

your club? Yeah, but I'm not going to Oh, I was gonna ask you, like the record with you a Little Baby, the record Me a Little Baby like it did great? Record did well? Wow? How many rappers after that reached out to you to do a record with you? If any? Well, now I had many just throughout the years, just just just you know, you know, even after ultra like being with Kanye you know, um and and and I think that for me, I try to be very careful.

Like I just did a record with DJ Mustard. Um he reached out to me for me to do something, and I just did Lama's record. It's I try to be very very methodical and what I do it's because I don't ever want to be the gospel go to guy for rap albums. Is because I don't want it's I don't want my posture to be that my intent is to not be anything but to spread this message.

And I don't want the gospel to ever look like it's a novelty and that it's a hook that I really would love to be able to do relationship with people. So I really try to do music with people that there's some type of history of either they know of my music, they've had an experience with my music, versus somebody who really may not know me but may hurt something. That's, oh, you know, let's let's get my guy on this, right.

It's because I'm all about relationship, and so I would much rather build relationship with somebody than just to write a hook or an intro for their album. So how do you feel when let's say a rapper does a quote unquote gospel album, right, and they do a gospel album and you take it serious because this is this is your life, this is how you live, this is

what you preach it's what I believe. Yeah, So when you see a rapper do a gospel autum right, and then from the gospel album they go back and then do a regular album, does it seem like a novelty? Does it seem like it's done just to get accolades because they don't necessarily believe it, because if they believe that, they would stay in it. But they go left or right. So do you still how do you feel about that? When you see great questions, I think that it must

be done with a great sense of soberness. It's because you know, sometimes we think that the trajectory of growth is always linear, but it's not always linear, right, Sometimes growth it is like this, right, you know, sometimes you do this and you fall back, and you do this, you falter. It's you know. One of the greatest examples that I can have is that, you know, I had a very close relationship with r. Kelly, very close relationship, and was not aware of the trauma that he was

creating in its linear form. You know, this was back in ninety four, This was right before I believe I Can Fly, and I had a great relationship with Robert and led Robert to faith. I mean I was twenty four years old and Robert was in love with this song I did called while we sing and Robert would show up at my concerts and you know, I'm he was still our Kelly at the time. I mean, it was you know, huge. And so right after our relationship

is when he did I Believe I Can Fly. And then I did a song on one of his albums. I put a choir on it, and so we were building We're really building relationships, and Robert got really exposed to some churches and some church people that kind of started being about this in his life. It kind of really pissed him off and did him wrong, you know, and so I just remember those moments, and so I remember, you know, his life like this. I had no idea

that there were these other things going on. I had no idea which which you know, um um um still perhaps every day followed the victims um. It's because I do believe that there were victims. Yes, you know, as I believe it. You pray for the victims, you pray for R Kelly also, I do. It's I pray for both. It's because that is the difficult job of making sure that I'm not trying to put myself in God's position.

It's I'm not God, and so I have to humble myself and even the things I don't understand, I've got to be able to pray for everyone. All Right, we got more with Kurt Franklin. When we come back, let's get into a classic. This is Kirk Franklin with Stomp. It's the Breakfast cluble Morning, that one stop Kurt Franklin Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Kurt Franklin. Now you mentioned your mixtape. Oh my god, why did

I say you mentioned your mixtape? Now, when your mixtape came out, some people will be no, no, some some people, you know, we were shocked and some people weren't. That kids, I din't wait, I did it. He just hung up the phone. Me myself, I wasn't shocked. And and the reason I wasn't shocked this because your kids will get you to that point, especially your grown kids. Your grown kids.

If I had a mixtape with my son, my son is eighteen years old, I got a mixtape too, right, But my son knows I love him, and he knows the reason that I do this because I want to protect him, and I care him and I love him. It didn't come from a place of malice. It came from a place of love. In my opinion, you apologize

for why. The reason why I apologize is because I did not want to normalize things that maybe things that we expect as far as our culture, the things things that we may say, well, that's what my mamma did to miss my dad did to me. It is I don't want to normalize it. It's that I want to be able to acknowledge that there was a standard and I didn't meet the standard. That that that that that's the part of also being a man. There's also being a man of faith. Is acknowledging that or or to

me just trying to be a good man. Is that there is a standard and I didn't meet it. And because I didn't meet it, I wanted people to know that I'm sorry for doing that. Now a lot of people will say, we should apologize to your son. You don't know the history there, you don't know what all is happening. My son is thirty four years old. My son recently was in some trouble, and uh, I was there. One thing that bothered me is sometimes it was like I felt like your son did something to try to

hurt you. Yeah, right, he tried to record that, he tried to embarrass you, He tried to hurt you. Did that make you feel And what was the conversation like that? Because it's almost like if even if I getting an argument with my son, right, we might say some things that to each other that you know after we laugh about Dad, I love you, but I would never think my son would try to do something to bring my empire down or to hurt me or to embarrass me on a huge stage. That's that's what an enemy does.

So how did that affect you? And how did y'all heal from that? If y'all did? Um? And the reason I'm asking because there's a lot of parents out there that have the same similar situation. Yeah. Yeah. We historically have tried to keep our journey with our son and his state a private family man. Right, we's I love my son and we've been here for many many many years, and I've done everything that I could to try to

help him for many many, many many years. My son is a very tell too beautiful soul and the way that he was wired. Uh, it's not necessarily his fault. Uh. Some of us are born with very unique wiring, and a lot of times in our community it is hard for us strength knowledge certain wiring. You know, we we we want to think it's something else. We see people outside of our communities, they're very quick to lean towards

science and medicine and information. Right, Um, not our community, right, you know we we we we historically when it comes to systems of very uh distrusting of systems, and so we have had to walk through many, many, many layers historically with our son, my son Reason was incarcerated, right, and and and and and so uh we knew we we We've been watching it for years. I mean, this is my boy. I know my son, and I've known everything. And so right now I am proud of him. Is

because I think that he is. We are privately trying to trying to address some of those things. And I have to realize envy that he may never be able to understand the gravity of what he did. Doesn't make sense what I'm saying in context. He may never be able to understand it. And for me, I may have to live with that and put his well being before

what he did. In a way, do you think this kind of broke down the doors for you to be able to address something like this publicly and then work on fixing things with your relationship and your approach as a thirty four year old man. His willingness to accept the un neatness of how God has wired him and to embrace that and to embrace the the tools that

are available will be a very beautiful thing. It's because sometimes that will give you a greater opening of understanding what life is around you, and it gives you context more than anything. I'm grateful that he felt like that when in his darkest hour that we pulled up and I was gonna say that, was there any hesitation, because you know a lot of people would be like, I write my son off if he did that, I'd write

my daughter off when he did that. When your son got into trouble, was there any hesitation be like should I go help or should I he wants me to stand back, he wants to embarrass me, let him figure it out on his own. Was there any hesitation? Great great or your wife great question? At the end of the day, He's still my son. And when something like that happened, all back to alve and we me and his incredible mother. Shout out to his mother. Shout out

to his mother. Boy, if I tell you Angela that that woman she missed, that woman camped out in Los Angeles for weeks to make sure because you know that's her only son. She camped out. Shout out to his mother. His mother is a hero. And I do want people to know that even though what happened with my son and I and and once again I acknowledge the mistake that I made, it's because I know what I was. The reason why I was so disappointed in myself, it's

because I know what I'm dealing with. He just that day, that well those two days, because that recording is two separate recordings, and so he recorded me sol and I hadn't talked to him at five years and hadn't talked to my son in five years when he found when he when he called me. But I do want people to know I love him. I want the world to hear it loud. I love my son. Thank y'all for asking that as such a This is the first time I've talked about this. Yeah no, no, it's a yeah yeah.

Thank y'all for being really really really like kind and gracious. We do really really really thank you for being open and you always are down to answer and talk about anything. I know it's difficult, I can see, so we appreciate you for even sharing like what you did today. We definitely appreciate you. Thank you, and shout out to my son Is. I love him and I believe he's gonna

be even greater than what he realizes. He's an incredible, incredible, incredible mind and and sometimes God gives us these unique special minds and when we embrace it, we can become better. Absolutely well, Kurt Franklin, we appreciate you for joining us a new out. Thank you, City Kingdom. Book one is out right now. Shout out to Maverick City. The bus.

Oh man, super dope man. Well man. Father, thank you for the opportunity to just come be around beautiful souls. I pray that you continue to open up more doors for them to be lights and so much darkness in the world. Thank you for the three of them. And Father, I pray for people that are listening to me right now that have made mistakes. I want them to know that there's no condemnation, that the guilt that they live

in is not from God. The guilt they live in is not from God because that guilt does not allow you to rise above the mistake and learn from it and be better. I want you to know that there's no mistake that you can ever make. That God's heart in his arms are not open to you because He's the God of grace, love and mercy and it never runs out. And Father, help us to continue to know that this same grace that you give us we need

to give to each other. That it's so easy for us to write people off, but you never wrote us off. As a matter of fact, before we've even born. You sent your son to die for us, before we even made one mistake. So there's not one mistake that we could ever do that you won't forgive. That's how dope and incredible your love is. I pray for families. I continue to pray for my family. And father left up my son right now. Let him know that he's loved

by you. Let him know that he's loved and that there's nothing impossible with you, and that your love for him is only only the touch of what he can and shall be. And Father helped me to be in every way the best father that I can be, so that we may honor you, because none of this stuff matters if I can't win at home. And we give you all the glory in your name. Christ. Amen, Amen, ladies and gentlemen, it's Kurt Franklin. It's the breakfast Love, good morning,
