FULL SHOW: Aida Rodriguez Cohosts, Justin Pearson Interview, Shakur Stevenson Interview and More!

I got here yesterday. Okay, you know I've been traveling a lot. I wasn't amsterdamn a few days ago. So I'm my clock is off, but I feel good. You smoke nah non, you're not an early bird at all. I am early, okay, yoka? How early? Um? I get up with with y'all. I get up in la at six in the morning. I get up with my mom. Oh, so technically it's three three in the morning for yours. Three in the morning for right now. Okay, okay, all right,

but we got a lot to talk about. Justin Pearson, Justin J. Pearson will be jo and you know, he's the member of the Tennessee House of Representatives representing the eighty six district in Memphis. I don't know why they keep calling him in Tennessee three. Two of them got Tennessee too. You know, it's actually the Tennessee too, you know, in a plus one. I guess, well, she didn't get expelled,

you get expelled. And a white ladiness, that's right. Why did you keep calling the Tennessee three because they always co opt in. White women are always part of the struggle, even if they're not in the struggle. There, I go started early. That's all right, that's all right, and Chakor Stevenson Box will be joining us, of course from Brick City, New Jersey. Had to fight last weekend. Weekend. Yeah, you have to fight last weekend. And we'll be kicking it

with him in a little bit as well. And then we got front page news another mass shooting, just a regular headline. At this point, I keep telling y'all, this is the American way. I hate all these politicians that jump out there and say this is not who we are. This is exactly who America is. And when you take a look at the world and you see what's happening globally with the people who have taken a stand against gun violence. You see the difference, and it's it's apparent

that a lot of people are getting paid by these as. Absolutely, so we'll get into that when we come back to wake your ass up. Sorry to depress you so early in the morning, but it's at this point our world. Sorry, it's life. Sorry, it's the breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is stej n V Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club. We got our co host Ida Rodriguez joining us this morning. Morning. Na, good morning, and let's get in some front page news. Of course, Teslain Figureo

is here helping us out this morning. Now, test morning, another mass shooting. Yeah, it's a damn shame. Yet another. Like you guys mentioned yet another everyday headline. Unfortunately, yesterday at twenty five year old bank employee open fire at his workplace in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. Now. The shooter live streamed the attack that left five dead and eight others injured. The gunman was identified as Connor Sturgeon, an employee at

Old National Bank. Now. He left a chilling voicemail revealing his plans to kill everyone at the bank. He was killed by police after the shootout, and apparently dj Envy he was under the assumption that he would be fired soon and so as of now they're believing that is the motivation. And the unfortunate thing is the gun violence Archives shows that in two twenty three alone, there have been at least one hundred and forty six mass shootings.

A mass shooting is defined as at least four people being shot at at the same time, and that includes at least fifteen since the start of April. Once again, complicated issue, right, because you know it's not just about the guns. Clearly this dude is suffered from some type of mental health issues. Bright, you kill yourself, you kill people because you about to lose a job. But they said he started as an intern his way up at the bank, and I guess he thought he was gonna

get fired or for whatever reason. And Bright, that job ain't dying for you, So why are you willing to kill and die for that job? Like that makes no sense. You get fired from a job, you go find another one, Like come on, and then remember this this live stream thing, you know, this need to go live. I thought that was an interesting part of it as well, that we're

seeing far too much. Yeah, there's some narcissism in this, you know, and I think that you know, in reality, when we talk about mental illness, we have to talk about the fact that white men in this country are having temper tantrums all over the place. And this is an emotional temper tantrum to to just say I'm much off everybody because I can't work here anymore. What a privilege. He probably thought he was gonna walk away from this

because they tend to. That's right, and that's that's part of it, right, that's part of it when you don't know how to process your emotions, and it is part of you know, not being emotionally intelligent enough to process your feelings. Because that's all it is, right, you made You made a permanent decision based off a temporary feeling. I'm gonna be fired, so I'm gonna kill everybody. Come on, man, that I don't understand the logic personally. Now what else

we gotta I see A Republican Republican called trans people mutants. Yeah, yeah, this is a crazy story. A Florida Republican lawmaker compare transgender people to mutants from the X Men while debating yet another bill that would curteil LGBTQ writes. During a debate on Monday about House Bill fourteen twenty one, which would ban gender affirming care for minors and prohibit trans people from using the bathroom that aligns with their gender,

Republican Representative Webster Barnaby went on a rant. Take a listen to what he had to say. I'm looking at society today and it's like I'm watching an X Men movie with people that when you watch the X Men movies for Marvel Comics, it's like, we have mutants living among us on planet Earth. And you know, some people don't like that, but that's a fact. We have people that live among us today. I'm plenty of Earth that are happy to display themselves as if they were mutants

from another planet. This is the planet Earth where God created men male and women female. There is so much darkness in our world today, so much evil in our world today, and so many people who are afraid to address the evil. The dysphoria, the dysfunction, and all of your demons and all of your imps who come parade before us. That's right, I called you demons and imps who come and parade before us and pretend that you are part of this world. So I'm saying, my righteous

indignation is stirred. I am sick and tired of this. Oh. Technically, if you are a transwoman, you could be considered an X men, okay. And if you follow comics like I do, stupid. And if you follow comics like no I'm saying seriously though, if you follow comics like I do, most of the mutants are the good guys, you know, So that's not the dissy thinks they did. But here the thing, this is the problem. Even if you disagree with their lifestyle.

I'm not with the demonization of any community, okay, because when you start demonizing people, it leads to discrimination, it leads to them being harmed but simply being themselves. And it's just always strange when I see, you know, black people, other are just minorities people period, other marginalized communities period, doing that to other people. Because that was a brother,

that was talk. He has an accent of someone who was previously in some form called an alien by someone who would say he sounds like he's foreign and an immigrant, right, And Uh. But the funny thing is that he sounds like he got a crush that was that was too heated. At the end, he was I am tiring my righteous indignation like a direction. Yeah, I don't know. I don't even know what the imp is. What is an imp? That is a that is also someone who is that is a derogatory term of someone who is um, who

has a deformity. Yeah, understand people from arginalized communities do that. The other people like, I don't see how you can just demonize somebody for what they are, you know, I mean it just seems like it's fear monging. But the other mangering. The other thing is like when we're gonna have a real conversation about this that is rooted in humanity, because like the trans community is a very small community. Why you ain't that angry about these white boys shooting

up the spot man, talk about it. Use that anger for that, talk about it. Those are the demons. If going into a building and killing you know, people just say you're about to be fired. That don't make you a demon? What does? All? Right? Well, that is front page news, Thank you, Tess. We're seeing about an hour. Yeah, absolutely, all right now, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need

to vent, call us up right now. Whatever it may be. Men, we can talk about some front page news stories, the mass shooting, calling trans people mutants, whatever you want to talk about. Maybe you had a great night or a horrible night, whatever it may be. Phone lines are wide open for you to vent. Eight hundred five eight five one or five one, and I'd a ride Riggs. I guess co hosts heads the Breakfast Club the morning the Breakfast Club. Who's this this Staria or this Charia? Or

what's going on? Avery? What's going on? Charlotte? Man? Peace King? How you doing? Bron You lied on the phone. Just just back up off the phone, just just a little bit. They ain't don't speak. I'm taping it down, but listen, I want to all speak on what y'all were just talking about with them. It's man on Earth. I totally believe in that. And I got nothing to do with the MTB community as far as the great number, not like that. But it's I feel it's just like it's

something different on this planet right now. Now. I agree with the guy that called down the guy that called in, I mean the audio called them. But what YA was talking about on the report just now. But you know the reality of the situation is, man, we all different. You're different, you know what I mean. Likes there's a status quote in this country, and that status quote, that standard is whiteness. So anything that's not white is considered different.

Like they used to look at black people the exact same way. He used to look at women the exact same way. Still gave people the exact same way. They still look at us like that, absolutely, you know what I mean. So I don't understand how anybody from a marginal lot community can demonize another marginal lot community. That makes no sense to me. Hello, who's this jump right, Danny? Danny, get it off your chest, hey man. First thing first,

I want to say good morning to you guys. And honestly, you guys finished after my Thursday by listening to y'all every single day, and I just want to say thank you. But don't what y'all do man like thank you brother, appreciate your shift, you got, you got, you got tree jobs. Yip. Man, I'm a truck driver, man, and my hair on the road man every night. Oh man, do me a favor. Oh god, yes, Third, blow the horn. Come on, man, you know what day. Don't say blue. I just said

blow the horn. You never did that as a kid. Well blow forget it? Thank you some weed with a blunt. Oh yeah, no doubt. Man. Hey y'all, man, I want to talk about this mass shooter. Man. First thing. First, man, I've been it can still carry you for you know, since I was twenty one years old. I just turned thirty five and March twenty four, and honestly, man, when I see these signs deaths on doors, like saying no no firearms, I'm gonna be honest, I still carry them.

I got a family at seven that I still need to take home at the end of the day. You know, I'd rather be just by twelve and carry by six. So I feel like we need to, you know, if you know, if you're not if you don't have a firearm and you don't have your permit, please go out there get it and don't just get it. Practice, you know, practice to protect ourselves from these demons. Man that's out here doing all these killings for no no reason. I feel like they really, they really need to take them

signs down saying no firearms. That's only keeping the good guys out, such as myself, you know what I mean. So those guys that want to go in there and kill everybody, they're not paying attention to that sign. So when we see that sign, of course we didn't. We gotta go back, put it back in a car or something like, oh man, we can't take the gun. And there plus to be honest, like I said, Man, I carry it everywhere I go. Man, I'm not I'm not

falling victim or my family's falling victims to nobody's names careless. Hey, brother, I'm with you. I'm pro to a I'm just also a pro common sense gun reform. You know, yeah, I agree. And plus you know a lot of what you're gonna do with a three eighty when somebody's has an assault Like, I'm gonna still fight at three eighty. I'm still dumb.

We got we all are. But the reality of it is is that we need to do something about because we keep deflecting, we keep going around the real issue is that people are getting these bumps, they're getting these assault rifles. They're getting these We need to regulate that and they need to Nobody is trying to take your three eighty and you're nine from you. Nobody is trying to deter you from having your own arm. But we

keep co opting the conversation with that. And why should you have to you have a family of seven, Why do you have to go out and say society when these politicians are getting mad money for encouraging and continuously pushing this gun agenda in our country. That's right, And what Danny just said the truck driver, I would say this to everybody. If you're over the age of twenty one, I would definitely try to get my license, get your

concealed license. If you get one in Utah, in Florida, you can get it at any gun shop that allows you to carry in about thirty states or something like that, concealed. And yes, he said, if there's a sign on the daughter says you cannot have your gun, you're not supposed

to carry your gun in that in that place. But I would tell everybody go out there, go to your local your your local gun store, fill out the paperwork, fill the process out to get your gun license, and train my wife to the and my daughter and my son to the range. At lease, I try to take him twice a month. I've said this a million times.

Man owning a legal firearm and knowing how to use it in this country as a minority as a form of self care about Also, if we, if enough of us go out and get them, they probably will change the gun loss. You might be but it's not easy. They don't make it easy for you to get it. Don't think you could just walk in there and get it. They don't make it easy. You got to go to the chief of the police. It's it's difficult, but stay on it. They want you to give up. They don't

want you to get it. So do not the process and get your license, all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the breakfast club. The morning the breakfast club, so it wasn't safe. Basically had everything to do with face and spiilogy. So make everyone know that everyone is specially we opened the

doors to the stables. Use I had one guy he had a probably you know, say the spirit's hand see it or whatever, but he was talented on the piece. He made out beat. So my brother basically basically you're saying that the mutants are a good thing. We didn't even see that as being the mutant. You get gifted and talented. That's right, but that's what But that's what they are. That's what the X Men are. The X Men are known as a gifted group of individuals. I

got Wolverine tattooed on my arm right now. That's a horrible tap, by the way. I mean, it is a horrible tap. But I like what wolver Re represented because Wolverine had a healing powers, you know what I'm saying. He was able to heal quickly. So that was all that I was always into. I was always in the healing before I even knew what actual healing was. Okay,

well get it, get it. I just appreciate his passion because he was selling water to help people and hear this man is standing on the floor demonizing people, and I think that's that's what this is all about. We will make a decision if we're gonna be part of

the solution of the problem. I have a just a very big question mark about why so many people are have such a hard on about trans people, like it is a preoccupation that is so such a small population of the country that you barely interface with, Like, how many trans people do you come in contact with that affect your daily life? Really? And there is such a preoccupation with it that I want to know why, Like what is it? Like? I could care less about you

know what you're doing. These people who can't have a heart, the hardest time getting jobs, get murdered at a at an astronomical rate, who are being beaten and bullied. Why

are you so preoccupied with them? I understand people not wanting their children being exposed to sexual content at a very early age, but there's just this fascination and this preoccupation with the trans community that is very concerning to me, because you know, how many people do you come unless you got unless you really got something going on, and you're dealing with some demons. What is the preoccupation? We have so many bigger problems in our community. Don't feel

like they're making a micro macro. Yeah, it's really an interesting all right, Well, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one. Our co host, Ida Rodriguez is here and when we come back, we got your room report. We got to talk about the Dolly Llama. Uh so, weird stuff happened yesterday. We understand, we'll talk about it when we come back. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, a breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy. We are to

breakfast Club. Good morning y'all. Our co guest host Ida Rodriguez is here, and let's get to the rumas. Let's go from my hat name or you gossip chatting the rub report. I mean, I guess we're on the breakast clud. This is where the tea spells right right on the Breakfast Club. I just want to tell people out there, if you're looking to purchase a home U the Federal

Housing Administration added a forty year mortgage. So now you know, usually mortgage is a twenty five years or thirty years, you have to pay within twenty five or thirty years. Now they're offering forty years to pay that mortgage. So if there was something that you thought that maybe you couldn't afford or it's a little high, well now at breaking it down to an additional ten years, so hopefully

that you can purchase that loan. So if you're looking to purchase a house, make sure you uh, it's harder. It's harder to get loans right now. Inflation is through the roof there. You you check people out because well, FHA, they offer a lower percentage as well, so it's not going to be your typical six and a half percent

or seven percent or five and a half percent. In some places they offer a lot lower rate, and sometimes you don't have to put as much money down, So just call your local mortgage broker or your bank and find out more information. But they have a forty year mortgage and sometimes they allow three and a half percent depending on what it is in certain areas and certain things. And you only have to put down skip me, not

three and a half percent. Three and a half percent down, So just do your homework if you're looking to purchase a home. Now, let's talk about the Dolly Lama Now. He apologized yesterday for asking a boy to suck my tongue Jesus Christ and to suck um. I didn't know there was audio. I didn't hear it. I just see a statement. Now. The young boy was asked to Dolly Lama for a hug, and when he woke up, and when he went up there to give the lama lama hug,

they will hug it. And they said, it's I guess some type of I don't want to say protocol or things spiritual thing that they do where he sticks his tongue out and gives the boy hug. But him saying I saw that I sucked. That say, that's the Bestian culture that people stick their tongue out as the sign of respect. But ain't nobody saying that you gotta ask the little boy to suck your tongue. That's a whole

different ball game. Yeah, and you know what's it exposes a whole world of stuff that a lot of people don't get to see, especial talk talk talk. No, I'm sorry, it's just that triggers me. I got my own issues, so I just thought that was inappropriate. That's an understatement. And then it's like, y'all watch a little dickie. Y'all watch Dave. I love Dave Show. On Dave Show, you know, they constantly talk about getting sucked, and that's what it was. Dolly wanted to get sucked by a little boy, and

then you should call it what it is. Now. They said that he apologized and said that you know, he jokes like this all the time. And but what's funny about that? What's funny We're asking a young boy to suck your tongue. The kiss on the lips, that's not that's not a relative of yours, that's not your child, you know what I mean? And then stick you're tongue about suck my tongue. Yeah, so eighty seven year old man talking to a kid who's so young that they had to blursh face up, and then you put out

an apology, just a simple apology like that's just normal behavior. Yeah. Now, I was like, calm down, it was a joke. They ain't got no they don't got no child services in a just a lot of those places that you I mean, when you read those books and you you you learn about the things that happened globally to children, it's like it's very very sad to hear and the fact that he thought it was cool to be able to just do that, even though it might have been a lapse

of judgment, that was a heavy laps of judgment. But I guarantee you he probably does that when the cameras are off, you know, absolutely, it just caught him, absolutely all right, Well, nothing's gonna happen to him. I actually shocked that he apologizing. I mean, he's apologizing because he's responding to the backlash on social media. There's no uproar going on in his country right now. I don't come back with one of his philosophies, in order to have

big life, you must suck old man's tongue, Jesus Christ. Now, Nick Cannon, it looks like um speaking of sucking tongues. He looks like he's he might be interested in having baby thirteen? Who would be the woman to make you have a baby again? Right now? Right off the top of you, I said, you could have any woman in the world doing who's your Who could it be like? If I said to you, Nick, Taylor Swift, why don't I have a baby with you? That's the one that's I'm all in. What is it about her? She's an

amazing songwriter. And what I do love about Taylor Swift is the fact that she has been so vulnerable and open with all of him. He's since a young girl, and and she kind of liked me like me and Taylor's numbers is very similar. When we're talking about being in these streets, right, So I think she would relate to me very well based off of like, Yo, you dated a lot of people in the public eye saw, so we probably would really understand each other. It was

swim numbers up there with Nick. I didn't know that Nick got hot numbers really because she wrote a couple of songs about her ex boyfriends, Like do you know this is the funny thing to me, people recounting people's partners that are celebrities and they be having doubled the numbers in real life, but nobody gets to know about them. I mean, I don't know Taylor Swift, is it? I always think of her as a kid. I know she's thirty, but it just feels like, you know, yeah, I don't

like it. I want Nick Cannon to have more black baby mamas. She got Nicky got enough white baby mamas. Nick, I don't know. That's what I hear about him. I don't know how. I don't know any of Nick's baby mom s Maria Cary, to be honest, I don't that's only I don't know. I don't. Well, he is doing another morning show, so congratulations to Nick. He's doing a morning show with his baby mother. Abby Day La Rosa.

She's gonna be the co host. That's dope. That want include bomb from Nick Cannon Show together, And that's true, that's what they're saying. They're launching it on Amazon amp. Interesting. But you never have to pay child report if you get her a job. I'm serious, right, I guess flame come back with the edible. I guess so he'll be

doing that, So congratulations to them. Then I say when it's starting, but they said it's starting soon and you could download the app and check it out, but you're gonna be listening to the Breakfast Club, so you won't get a chance to listen to that show. I listen to that radio though, a good good sister. Now, lets moon have to show on the radio, not from six to nine at night in the morning, oh said the morning show, sir. No, I'm not listening, That's what I say.

Six at the same time with us, yes, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah definitely not y'all know what you shot at them out? I don't even know why you shot at them, just left it at the house, stirred story. Ain't you didn't even have to say that. I've gotten it. And lastly, six nine is Uh, he was. You know, we talked about him yesterday about him suing the Florida gym. But now he's being sued and that's because he owes American

Express allegedly one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Uh. They're saying that he didn't pay his bill allegedly, and now a company has resorted to legal action against him. So how long did they take before they come after you from They're pretty fast, really, they're pretty fast. I think it's like forty five days they don't get their money. They the thirty yes, and they put out an announce the time. If you look at American Express, the people that owe them, it's up. They do it every time.

They do it to everybody. They do it. We're not reporting everybody, you know what I mean? Yeah, like that that had to be a press release. Yeah, but they do that to old celebrities. If if you owe the money, you go over, I think it's like forty five days they will put it out there, this person owes this much money. It happens all the time. Man, what you're checking your bill right now? That's just like I don't know, I don't I don't know. I don't have problem. Okay,

all right, well that is your room reporting now. When we come back, we got Front Page News, Tesla and figure Out will be helping us out. We'll be talking to what's the brother's name, Justin Pearson, Justin Pearson when we come back to Tennessee three. And that's right. He is the member of the Tennessee House of Representatives representing the eighty six district in Memphis. So we'll talk to him next as well. So don't move us to breakfast

With jip Recruiter, we're four out of five employers get a quality candidate within the first day. Try free at jip recruiter dot com. Slash breakfast at zip recruiter dot com slash breakfast. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We got our co host Ida Rodriguez here and it's time for some Front Page News got the hood with for Tesla figure On. That's right, Tessa's back now, Tesla or what's going on in Tennessee? Did did they get reappointed? What's going on? Yeah, good morning, everybody, Breakfast club family.

So we covered this story on yesterday and many of you have certainly been watching it over the last few days of hearing about the Tennessee three and as we talked about there not the Tennessee three is actually the Tennessee two and now there is one. So again covering the story on yesterday, I wanted to give you a

quick update on Tennessee House Representative Justin Jones. Now, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled for breaking decorum rules on the House floor March thirtieth, and yesterday afternoon, Justin Jones was reappointed to his former seat in the fifty second district in Nashville by the Metro Council. Now, the Metro Council voted thirty six to zero to appoint Jones

as the interroom representative for the district. So, in other words, they appointed him to replace him as an interroom Now, as far as what is going on with Justin Pearson, there is a meeting scheduled on Wednesday to see if he will be reinstated. So let's take a quick listen to what Justin Jones said yesterday on the Capitol steps. So I want to thank you all failure today, particularly the young people who are the heartbeat of this movement.

It were students taking walking out of classes and taking to this capitol that led us into the well that day calling for common sense gun laws. And the first thing I do when I walk into this building as a representative is to continue that call for common sense gun legislation. Hey, I'm happy for Justin Jones, and I'm happy that he got reinstated. But if y'all gonna call him a new generation of leaders, and you know, y'all gonna say that they got new energy, they gotta find

a new song. I don't want to hear no young people singing we shall overcome. Boy. He pissed me off when I saw he was singing we shall overcome with that white lady and that damn man. Point they could do not give you buckers something like yeah up, let's definitely stop the singing. Uh. You know, but a couple of things to want to point out. You know, they

cannot be spelled for the same thing twice. So if they go back to the floor and decide again to protest with a bullhorn, which is, you know, the excuse that they used on why they expelled them. Obviously, we know it's a big issue, you know, certainly has a lot to do with race, has a lot to do with the House Republicans not being able to really you know, deal with the change. But the excuse, as they gave was the bullhorn. So um, they will be going, well,

he will be going back to his seat. And another thing that's really important is he will still have to run again to hold this seat. You know, That's what I want people to not forget. He has to run in a special election and then he still has to run in a general election in order to really be put back in that seat. So those who you know are following this story, you know, don't just forget about it this week. Look at it long term and see how important it is, you know, to stay on top

of local and state politics and vote. Also a big shout out to Tamika Mallory who was president, who went down there and showed up to make sure that justice was served. But that's important to remember why a lot of people who talk about anti voting stuff, it's you talk about it on a national level, but when it comes to these regional situations. This is why you vote, because that man is fighting for his community and we

gotta we have to show fight for them. And that's why we need to make sure that we are finding out who the sheriff, the superintendent, people who are appropriating the funds in our community. That is why it is important for us to show up and vote. And that's why I push against the people who say it is pointless to vote because we need him back. That's right. And if he running again, you're gonna need that money, rights, you better believe it gonna need it because again more

people will be coming out to run against him. So even though they're talking about the Tennessee Three, all three of those who were put up to expel, we know they only expelled two collectively, there is about two hundred thousand people that all three of them represent. But I want to be honest with you, when you look at the numbers on people that are actually voting in these

gentlemen will voting in less than two thousand people. So when you talk about only two thousand people going to the polls, now, you can pretty much look at that probably being trimple because of this national versation, So who's going to run against these men? That means what we call get out the vote. More people are going to you know, probably oppose Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. You can expect that. So they'll need money to run, They'll

need to be able to activate those voters. And so Jones and Pearson, just to be very honest with you, because I don't know any other way to give it to you, they're gonna have to make sure, you know, that they take care of their district because although this is a national conversation, and although there's national attension on it, now that those the district that these two men represent, you know, they're gonna have to make sure that they

stay engaged with them because remembers, they've only been in office a few months, so there's a lot, you know that that still needs to happen to make sure that they get their voters out again for the special election, which will happen in less than a couple of months. Well, Justin Pison was in New York yesterday, so he pulled up to the Black Mothership, the Breakfast Club. That's right to use our bully full pitch. So we spoke to

him yesterday. Yeah, we're gonna get into that next so thank you or Tessa's actually staying with us Justin Pearson for Justin interview. That's right. He's a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives representing eighty six district in Memphis. We're gonna talk to him when we at least not right now, but we're gonna talk, yes, right, so don't move.

It's the breakfast club, the morning the breakfast club. The effects of this are and instead of actually addressing the issue which started and the reason we went to the floor is because there was six people killed in Nashville at the Covenant School, private school. Six people, three of them were children nine years old. The Tennessee State legislature the following Thursday did not acknowledge seven thousand people who showed up to our capital saying we want change, we

want you to do something. In fact, they had one person speak about gun violence, one representative, then they cut off all communication about it during what's called welcoming and honoring, a period where we would be able to say to the protesters, we're with you, to say to the community, we're gonna fight for legislation. But instead of actually doing the work of ending gun violence, putting forward legislation, things

that we need to have happened. They said, well, for because you all got out of order, you broke rules of house decorum. You don't deserve to be here, despite the fact that our people sent us there. And so we got a problem going on to Tennessee. And it's not just limited to Tennessee, exactly, it's not just limited to Tennessee. And this overreach and this abuse of power is going to continue in your Florida's, in your Texas,

is in your Mississippies. So why were you expelled? That That was a confusion that a lot of people had. They didn't know why you were expelled. Yeah, the real reason why we were expelled was because of what we were talking about. Because you've got folks, Tennessee Republicans who are willing to sacrifice our communities, our children, for the National Rifle Association, for the Tennessee Firearm Association and not

address the issue. And so in response to us, they called the children and the teenagers who were the predominant groups of protesters, insurrectionists. They called us they elected, but not the people that's thrown the capital on January exactly right, But unlike January sixth, nobody died. Unlike January sixth, people didn't show up with batons and pepper spray. Unlike January six we didn't beat law enforcement. It was a peaceful protest against legislation and against a status quo that we

know is disproportionately hurting black people in our communities. But it was in direct response to a mass shooting that had occurred, and their response to the mass shooting is expelling us, not addressing the issue, right, mister Pearson. But let's kind of just because I want to make sure people are not confused on the actual thing that you were.

And I agree that you had every right to protest, You had every right to speak up, but wasn't exactly for using the bullhorn on the floor and not being asked to be recognized. I just want to make sure you understand exactly what it is. So that was part

of it, he said. We used a bullhorn, we hit the podium, we spoke out of turns, we hit the podium, We like hit the podium, you know, and while we were talking, like slapping the podium measure you're speaking, my colleague, that was one of the things that they said, you walked up and you disrupted house proceedings or some of the languages that they use, just anything that I mean, trumped up charges to justify this. But here's the interesting point.

The last two times people were expelled, they had committed criminal acts. I've been there. I was there for over two and a half months. I have raised my hand for dozens of bills, and the speaker can choose not to recognize me. Really that day I raised my hand for the period of welcoming and honoring. The speaker refused to recognize me. Every time a bill came up that I was going to speak on, I started with the sentence we need to do something about ending gun violence.

The speaker said after the third time, if you do that again, I will censor you for the rest of today's session. Right, So, the opportunity to even be subversive in saying something, or to use the democratic process which they tell us we're supposed to, they willed against us because the speaker is operating as some autocrat, right, as some dictator who decides whether not democracy or debate is

going to be allowed. And so from that silencing, I went out with the protesters to the galleries and outside of the chamber who were chanting and shouting and encouraging them right that we are going to fight for them. The speaker turned off my voting machine and told the chief clerk there he's absent. Representative Jones, they're absent. This has never happened before, and folks have been there for twenty thirty years and never seen anything like. I think

it's the Afrol justin the Afrol skin. Is the white people, the Afrol, the pig, the fact that we are serious about what we're talking about. Right, Let's talk about your two A because I think there's a misconception on people that you know, believe in the rights to bear arms versus what you're fighting. Uh as far as gun reform is concerned, and I haven't heard a lot about you know the difference between the two. So can you give us just briefly, what is it you know that you're

fighting for. Are you saying abolished all weapons and nobody should have a weapon? Do you support two A? M is it the assault military style weapons? Give us Let let us know where you stand on gun violence and how you see that. Yeah, I have nothing against the second Amendment in people's right to bear arms. That that isn't what's an issue, But it's an issue. It is people having weapons of war on streets to walk into schools and to churches and killing people. Y'all know ten

people were killed in Charleston. Nine people were killed in Charleston. Right, we having more guns, and this is the solution that Republicans are offering. Well, let's put more security officers in schools. That didn't, say the church, right, That wouldn't have helped Larry. So the problem is the guns are getting into the

hands of the wrong people. And the reality is there are certain weapons that normal people shouldn't have access to, especially eighteen year olds, especially eighteen year olds, because we don't do anything. I'm definitely pro to way, but I'm also pro common sense gun reform. Common it's just common sense. We're not we're not asking to your point, we're not asking for saying anything extreme let's take everybody's gun, nobody have a gun or anything like that. We're saying that

there are better ways that we can do things. As the President reached out to you, old Vice, Yes, we had a good conversation with President Biden. It was reinforcing that what the Tennessee three myself Representive Johnson, represent Jones did was right and that the Responsive Republicans is anti democratic.

And it's also we got an invitation to the White House to come and elevate this issue about gun violence and the laws that can be passed, that have even been passed in places like Florida, red flag laws that can have a national impact. Do you think President Biden should be doing mortal because they hurt my heart to hear him saying that he's powerless and he can't do anything without Congress. We know that you got the largest

bully pulpit in the world. How about call out some of those senators that we know get money from these gun lobbyists for their campaigns. So to your point, there's a responsibility and coming upon everybody who's an elected official to use their power that they do have. And this is the same thing we say in the justice movement. Right, nobody is powerless. Right, people have been made to feel powerless, People have been ignored. People are not voiceless, but their

voices have been ignored. And I think for the president. The Vice President did come to Nashville the following day, Vice President Kamala Harris. We got to see her and talk with her similarly reinforcing, but also she was holding in the folks accountable too. On the ground in the caption calling old body out, she did you know what I mean? So she did. I didn't hear who did she call out. I didn't hear her calling you by. She definitely called out Cameron Sexton. Okay, that's the leader

of the House. Governor Bill Lee is the governor. William Lambert leads the Republican Party. Jammery Faison is the caucus chairman. Mark White is in Shelby County, our county and voted to expel myself and my colleague Justin Jones. Yeah, we do know. Until your point, it's something about that right. We have to save their names because we need other folks to know who is it that we have a

responsibility of holding accountable. And just similarly we have the responsibility, just like we have responsibility of speaking the names of those we lose, we have responsibility of speaking of the names of those who are perpetuating this harm. That's we got more with Justin Pierson when we come back. He's the member of the Tennessee House Representatives representing the eighty six district. You remember that he was expelled a couple

of days ago. We'll kick it board with him when we come back as the Breakfast Club Morning morning, everybody is d V Charlemagne the guy we are to breakfast Club. Tesla Figuo is joining usaid, we're still talking with Justin Jay Pearson. Now he was a member of the Tennessee House Representatives representing the eighty six district in Memphish. If you remember he was expelled a couple of days ago. Tests Okay, so speaking of calling our names, then where

was Representative Freeman on the floor? Is a Democrat? Right? He is a Democrat? That Why is Representative Freeman not on the floor? Was not on the floor? Why was he not on the floor prior to that? Does he plan to get on the floor and join you in this protest since these are actually his the constituents that he represent. Because I'm all about calling that Republican leadership,

It's all about calling that Democrat leadership as well. And so when I see a representative that actually represents the constituents that were murdered, I want to know what's the problem with him stepping up and also being expelled and joining you in this protest. I'll tell you this. I've spoken actually to Representative Freeman. He has some legislation that I think is going to be useful and get passed.

But I will tell you this, for Democrats, and I alluded this before, for Democrats in particular, going along or within the institution as it has been set up has been the norm. Resisting the institution has not. In fact, we myself, Representative Johnson, Representative Jones, have overwhelmingly heard of folks saying like you all probably should not have done

that because of the risk you can risking. It's just as bad to me on the Republican side, though, So if we're going to say that Republicans are holding up holding up progress, which they are, then we have to also be fair. You don't have to do it because those are your colleagues, So that's okay, I'll do it

for you today. We also have to say that Democrat leadership as well as holding up progress, because if you and mister Jones and miss Johnson were willing to be expelled and lose your seat while somebody else who actually represents those who were slaughtered sits back in says nothing, then that's unacceptable. So I'll just go ahead and ask mister Freeman, are you going to join your brothers and sister in protests or is he going to continue to go along with the get along like that? That's an

important question. I noticed, your colleague, but I just think that needs to be out there. I always want to know you actually represent these people and you're saying nothing at all, that's a great point. And if they don't disagree with that point, and if it's a great point, if they don't reinstate you, what's what's the plan? Oh,

we keep fighting. Before we ever ran for office had any of these titles, we were actually fighting an environmental justice to stop to multi building and all the corporations from building a pipeline through black neighborhood of Boxtown in Westwood. Saved a million people's drinking water. Our community rose up again, the solidarity dividend. We got rich white people to realize that if you allow them to steal black people's land and build a pipeline, all of our water gets poisoned. Right.

You showed the interconnectedness and that if you hurt people who are already suffering. We all suffer. Ending gun violence is good for all of us, including our communities. And y'all know, like in our community, whether it be Nipsey Hustle or Young Dolph right like, we experience gun violence in so many ways, but the attention that it gets has almost been desensitized. And people have to realize that the effects of their legislation is having significant consequences, acutely

black communities and poor communities. But doing something to fix these problems benefits everybody, including their children. I'm doing a show in Memphis, car show, and the biggest thing people are scared of is safety. They want to make sure they're safe. They've never had to hire this many security, So that just tells me that the people in Memphis actually just don't feel safe. This is not a rap performance, this is not a street performance. This is a family

fun day. So how do we make the people of Memphis feel safe again? We have to put in real laws, policies, practices, and money into helping our communities. They passed a law after the chief of police, our chief police went to Nashville and said, please don't do this. If you do this, we're going to see an increase in murders. If you if you have permanent list carrier, you're going to see

more kids breaking into cars and justice steal guns. Of course, two thousand plus cars have been broken into murders of forty four percent issue exactly the effect that we knew would happened if this Republican legislature passed. This bad legislation is what happened. So there's a fight that has to happen politically in the immediate term. We also need to think about how do we have prevention. How do we even if a sixteen year old kid has a gun, how do we get them to night use that right?

Where do they need to be, what do they need to access? And the reality is there's more work I have to do, research, I have to do Ocean she works at Center for Justice Innovation, and we're talking to her organization and others like Mom's demand action. How do we invest hundreds of millions of dollars into prevention instead of only offering, as people said, thoughts and prayers or praying for the person who's committing the act that God helps them see these these false salute are not going

to get us to a safer community. Because here's the reality the guns out there. They there. It's enough guns for every person in American I have one, including the babies and children. It's enough. The guns are there, and so we're not going to go be able to go and take everybody's gun back or anything like that. So how do you actually prevent gun violence from happening in

the first place? And you got a lot of instances of people come into side, You got a lot of instances of kids accidentally shooting one another with guns, and so, okay, is there some gun storage things that we can do that might help us? Is their mental health services that we can offer the folks as they don't believe, you know, this is the last resort. It is going to take everything.

But instead of focusing on what are the right solutions, the folks in the majority party in Tennessee and folks who were silently complicit alongside them, are seeking to expel and have expelled myself and Representative Jones. I want to go back to something test said when she was talking about you know, Freeman, because I always wonder about that. Do you feel like you're getting enough support from your

own party? Because who's a white man, who's a white man By the way, I just want to throw that any the white man. So yeah, I wanted you feel like you're getting eno support from your own party, because I wonder what was the significance of Vice President Harris coming there other than a photo opportunity like this, She's gonna put some resources behind you, you know, so you can campaign again, like what is it? Yeah, So I

thank you for raising this. One of the points that we did talk about with Vice President Harris was how do we build progressive leaders in the South. The fight for American democracy, the fight for black liberation, the fight for really everybody's liberation is under attack and siege in the South, and so the place to resist is in and I mean this, it's in state houses in Mississippi and Georgia and Tennessee, in Alabama and Florida and Texas.

The work is going to be there. And we're reading this book by Charles blow Um talk talking about the devil, you know, right um? And so Vice President Harris President Biden are not leaving the issue alone. And we have talked about, Okay, how do we elevate the voices of those most impacted, the victims of gun violence that help us to come up with solutions, and then how do we get more people who believe like we believe, who are willing to sacrifice like we're willing to sacrifice to

get justice. They are kind of an issue alone, though, when you hit a presidency, he's powerless. I think I can't do anything but plead the Congress to do something. Yeah, that's kind of leave an issue alone. That's kinds above me now. I think one of the things I'll say, the things that he has done well in this part are the executive actions that he's been able to take when it comes to Congress, though, which is right is the federal branch that he probably has more interaction within

the state. It is a question of why are the Republicans who are running the House and the Democrats who are running the Senate not taking this issue as seriously as they are. Senator Chris Murphy, he has been supportive of us, but we need real legislation that does ban assault weapons because the problem is if you leave it up to states, they will do the most extreme thing, maybe to their base, but when it's the federal government that's it. All of us have to abide by the

same rules. And so I do believe him. Exercise a political pressure on the Congress, telling them that they do need to act and putting energy and resources behind that

is going to be really important here. As you said, like, I'm grateful for the call, grateful the opportunity to come to the White House so that we can further talk about what do those actions look like in a deliberate fashion, Because it's hard when you see a grandmother coming to your office tell you about how her granddaughter was washing dishes and got shot. They didn't even know that there was a bullet round that had done it until a police officer saw this small little hole through the glass

of the window. And you see her and you talk to her. You don't have the same response as folks who are saying, y'all just need to shut up and be quiet or not not allow you to speak. All we got more with Justin J. Pearson. When we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning, everybody's dh Envy Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Tesla Figaro is joining us, and we're still talking with Justin J. Pearson. Now.

He was a member of the Tennessee House Representatives representing the eighty six district in Memphis, if you remember, he was expelled a couple of days ago tests. So I've representive here. So I do want to ask you this before you get out of here, because beyond the Afro and the the shaky, and you know, because they did that in Congress, what would it tell me about your black policy? That's important to me? Yeah, when you think

about so reparations, I'm one hundred percent for reparations. I have been very long time for cash for credit, for check, for credit card, for trust fund uh and And I was on Bev Johnson, another member of the I Hear radio community in January, and I explained the reason why I'm for reparations isn't just because of the enslavement of black people, because there are some people who say, well, you weren't enslaved, and then we have to walk through

housing segregation, we got to walk through lynching, we gotta walk through mass and cast rache when we're experiencing now, what about reparations for all of these harms that we have experienced all Are you willing to put it on your website though, because it's not under your website on issues? Yeah? Are you willing then, Okay, I'm willing to do that. It is not the issue that people in Distric eighty six are saying it's number one for them, because it's

to the point that was made earlier. They're definitely concerned about safety, they're concerned about crime. A lot of my population also elderly, and so you'll see on the website Aging Justice. There's not enough money in social security to actually help elders live out the rest of their lives in a meaningful way. So policies that we're putting forward have to do with people being able to grow old well, which not include financial increases in money, by creating opportunities

for them to gather and to have community. I live in the most polluted, one of the most polluted districts in the state, and so God rest their souls. Both my grandmothers have died of cancer, my grandmother Pierce and grandmother Gwynn, and it was due to environmental racism, which disproportionally hurt black people and poor people. So both my grandmothers lived in a community community I live in now where there are seventeen toxic release inventory facilities that are

polluting our air, water and our soil. And so the black policy that I have, as you articulated so well, is finding where there are the injustices and environment and education, dealing with gun violence and everything that we can do, putting the resources toward them, because it's indeed the majority of my district that's being impacted of the effects of

it continue to be on everybody. And what is important to note here is that for us to seek and to be a part of liberation, and this is really important, the people who do have the resources also have a responsibility. And so when I talk about white people's engagement and involvement, it is not to say I'm just concerned about what

they think or what they feel. Is because I believe white people and people of privilege and power have a responsibility of choosing a social location with the people who are being marginalized because they got they have our money and our resources, and they have a lot of what they have because of what we do not. And so I probially represent the pierson when they highlight you though as the black man. See that's the thing, you know, they keep saying, you know, you did this to a

black guy. You did this to the black guy. Representative Johnson said, you know you were expelled because you were black. So see, we got to be consistent if we're gonna push black when it's time to say, hey, come rally around us, and I'm on your side. I'm just telling you being very fair. You know about how this looks when we're saying black black black black black black, I gotta dashiki, I gotta afro, I'm black and black bleak bey black, and then we get to the policy and

say everybody else. It disengages a lot of folks. And so when I look at people's issues on the website, you do mention black when you talk about a criminal justice reform, But when I look at the other you know, policies, you talk about black voting rights and criminal justice reform. So I would just like to see and this is just something you know, for the toolbox, because I've also seen a brother. You've gotten a lot of accolades from

a lot of black organizations. Shout out to Tammy. I saw your and Memphis was defending your honor, you know, with me in a three hour tourter space. So I'm posing these questions to you because I want people to know more about you and what you do for black wearing a dash. People to realize in every issue that exists in our society, in our country, black people's liberation

must be prioritized. Right, It's every issue, and so forgive it if it's if it doesn't say it at every issue, but any time that we are speaking about justice, that is inherently a black issue, and it is important as well that it be said. And I understand that. But it has to be a prioritization of black people within issues,

but is everyone. And the thinking right for true liberation is that we have to not only prioritize in policy or even prioritizing what we speak, but it's to help other folks recognize that when you're talking about black people,

it is not to the exclusion of everyone else. The national policy is that you have a supermajority Republican legislature who by partisan vote expelled two black men, but on expulsion Representative Johnson because we stood up against the NRA, because we stood up or an end to gun violence.

The result is the expulsion of two black men. But how we got here is part of the problem, and it's because we have an antidemocratic institution being run by people who are being funded by the National Rifle Association of the Tennessee Firearms Association. Can't people say that more? That what pisses me off about this whole situation. That's what I want to hear more people say, we know why so many Republicans are against, you know, gun reform even though the majority of people want to see it.

Tays No, We've been talking about this, you know for the past few days. I hate when people forget about the issue. I see everybody saying, oh, these guys are stars, and you know they've they've been propelled to start them. Now. I don't care about that. I care about the issue, that's right, you know, And I've seen this before. We saw this disrespect. We saw this with Kaepernick. You know, Kaepernick came out talking about a specific issue, which police brutality.

Then it turned into well, he got kicked out of the NFL, he got black ball from that fil and everybody started focusing on that. That's not the issue, right. The issue is gun legislation, right, one last question before you go up. You know, the main thing is people's voices were disenfranchised. And when we make it about the person, the politician, then people start arguing about you, you know, well was he? This was he? That when we make it about the issue, then you're gonna have two eight

people say, well, he shouldn't be fighting gun by. I believe that if we center it on the fact that seventy thousand, whether collect three of you, over two hundred thousand people's voice were removed, I think that's a bipartisan thing that anybody should have a problem with, even if it's a issue that they disagree. So if this happened to a conservative, would you be an agreement that people should be expelled just because somebody doesn't like what they say?

Never never right. And I've had conservative people come to me and been like, this is wrong on every single level. I would never vote to expel someone for breaking a House to corn rule because what they said is something I don't like. I don't like these people who say there should be no exceptions when someone gets raped or there's incest and they need an abortion, I don't. I don't like what they say when they say everybody needs access to an assault rifle. I don't like those things.

But that does not mean that the people who elected you don't deserve to have you represent them. In the way that you think they should. And it does not mean that I deserve in any way, shape or form to be able to take your voice or your power away in a democratic process in setting. And so that that is that this is a part of the issue that we're in an institution that is being and operating

in an anti democratic way. And folks again on both sides of the Republicans and Democrats outside of the chambers have said the same thing. You can't take people's First Amendment and away because you believe there's some absolutism that doesn't even deserve a peaceful protest related to the Second Amendment in a country built on protests. No, thank you, Justin. We appreciate you. I appreciate y'all this morning. You appreciate you too. Justin. Thank you so much for allowing me

to pull that stuff out. And I look forward to Representative Bob Freemen of the Democrat who actually represents those slaughters of speaking up. Keep us posted your campaign or yeah again, you see the issues that we have on our website. Go to vote justin Jay dot com. You can contribute and also you can join our mailing list, stay in touch and engage with us because this is we are part of a movement and it is not just going to be a moment that that that comes

and fades it away. For us, we're gonna say engaged and all this because we know the effect that it has. We know this was the catalyst for it was the tragic death of six people in Nashville at the Covenant School. But that does not again and this day after resurrection, right,

that doesn't have to be the end. And so it's a part of that conversation that work is building this movement the end gun violence, but also to do the work of justice and so many different issues in areas that impact black folk and particularly poor float poor folk in our communities. All right, let's justin J. Pearson, we appreciate you for joining us problem. I appreciate y'all so much, and have me back sometime to come on appreciate it.

All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, all right, morning, Everybody's DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast Club. We got our co host with us. I to ride Reguez and let's get to the rooms. Let's talk Swei or chatting the rum report. I mean, I guess were on the breakfast club. This were the tea spells right right on the breakfast club now. Swei talks with million dollars worth of game, shout to Gilly and Wallow, dropping

the clues bombs for Gilly and Wallow. My guys man, we're gonna pull up on Gilly and Wallow real soon and do million dollars worth a game, right and I'm with it work all right now. Swelle talks about losing his girlfriend to a truck driver. I was living in some producers basement. My ex girl she broke up with me. I'm it's like one of my first girlfriends. So Boom, she can't went to the crib one day. I ain't got no French are We're sitting on the floor, Sweet Boom,

I can't be with you anymore. Why she left me for this? Still Boom did the truck driver. But he's making like seven K one, twelve K one. I'm gonna take play it out though. When you got a five so it had a car man. She put him in a card to my I'm driving it. Okay, you we sell you trip over here. Don't need to come over

here and do what I'm doing. Sh suped up a lot of stop letting your girl do that thing, bottom truck drivers when y'all pass him on the highway, stop telling your girls, stop letting your girl say blow the horn or whatever the hell that is. Let's blow the horn. There you go. Yes, that story sounded so funny because he was like, I was living in my producer's basement. Right, it was interesting. I don't think you had anything to do with the money. The guy probably just had his

life together. He had the vibe like she was feeling his vibe. You know, he was treating it the right way. You know, that's all it was. Because even if he was up and coming artist, if she really was into him and really had that connection, she wouldn't have left him for the truck driver. Yeah, but what he said was money related though, because he says he was making like seven K twelve K a month. Then maybe that

just told you you should have said thank you. Yeah right, I'm gonna eve truck drops blowed at home when they heard that story. Just now. I'm sure all of them. I'm sure all of them. Now. Kendrick Perkins, you know he works for ESPN. He does our first take with Stephen a smith for times now he was. He went viral yesterday and that's because he was breathing loudly. Did not believe they were gonna do a damn thing this post. That's why the decision that they made, so we can

lament the decision. Man. The reason why is we think they're not that good. We don't know if that brother gotta sleep happening or something. Man, I don't know. I feel like Kendrick always breaths hard, though it was extra on the other day, so smooth, the big perk, he said. They clarified that I'm working. I'm battling the flu while I'm working. Some people take days off, not me. There it sounds like he had what I had, Like I

had to polyps in my nose. I used to breathe hard. Listen, I'm telling you, and I first take with no nose jobs, just not a nose job, but I had polyps in my nose that would make it very difficult to breathe. Red used to say, Envy, why are you breathing so hard? Nobody ain't never heard Ray used to say that the envy crazy Red? Did you say that before I was I was in the room with those counts. Now Red

used to say, you breathing hard. I went to I went to the doctor because I was snoring a lot, and they removed the polyps, which helped me breathe a lot easier. I did not get you notice the contour around the nose. You don't notice. You don't notice the little shave off you got here. There's no shave off. I told you. But if I was gonna get a nose jef, I get the Peter Pan Like that's in styles Like I'm just joking. Yeah, the one though Peter Pan is like your nose come up a little bit. Nah.

Now now young m a uh, she's we haven't seen her in a long time, but she says she's on the road to recovery. She says she had a recent health scare. She's not telling people what it is, but she talks about it and says she's gonna be uh putting in her struggles in the new music in documentary. Long story short, basically, you know, just a small setback,

you know what I mean for just come back. Unfortunately, I made a lot of wrong decisions um in my life, and you know, things starting to come you know, catch up with you, or whatever the case. So I just want you to know besides all that I'm actually doing much better. I've been getting well, you know, I've been very much sober, you know, besides you know, dropping some new music. Of course, I'm also have a documentary with

my story or whatever the case. So I keep beyond tune, catch your back up because I know, y'all I've been wondering and all that. Yeah, I normally sterious, you know, I keep my personal problems to myself, but now it's talking, you know, expand that and express that to y'all. So basically to say like there's gonna be one of it made summers. It's gonna be one of those it may summers,

I promise you. Now. It's all started when her Barba posted a video of her getting her haircut, and people noticed that she looked a lot thinner, and also that her eyes were yellow. Usually when your eyes are yellow, that's usually a sign of liver problems. So we don't know what's going on with her, but I'm glad that she looks a lot better and that she says she's on the road to recovery, gonna get some new music, a documentary, and shout the young may. Yeah, she's such

a talented rapper. She's she's really good. Definitely sending the healing energy the young man, because I mean, you know what I pray. I definitely pray for good health. Like good health is one of those things that you always absolutely include in your prayers, like you know, good mental health, good physical health, good spiritual health. So yeah, definitely sending

healing energy the young man. Yeah. I had a close friend that had a problem with his liver and his his eyes turted yellow at first, and he had to you almost had to get a liver. He had to, you know, almost, but no, he almost had to. But I guess your livers is that one organ that repairs itself. I'm not too sure, but I have no idea. He's doing a thousand times better. And I'm a doctor, but not that kind of doctor. You're not a doctor. I'm an honorary doctor from so I can sit university even

didn't go there. My mother did. What does that name did? My mother did? And I have a scholarship an endowment fund at South Carolina State University. He paid for it and so donated money to have an honorary doctor and I'm a doctor, but not that kind of doctor. I don't know anything about livers. All right, doctor mckelh, you go the dolly Lama. You know he probably wants it. But the dolly Lama needs to come to the front of the cargation. We'd like to have a word with him.

He doesn't want your donkey. I'm too old. You're too old, friend, but we'll get into it. Next it's the breakfast Club. Good morning. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I could take it if you feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal, I know, Charlotte, many guys go out funny sall you gotta say something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I mean he's getting that donkey, that donkey that don't don't don't don't don't donkey other

day right there. So the breakfast club, bitch, you can call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean, no harm Wow, old donkey of today for Tuesday, April eleventh, goes to the dolly Llama. I said dolly Llama, not Dolly mommy, as you heard Drake say on that New record he put out last week Search and Rescue. Apparently, Dolly Mommy means do it mommy, or come on mommy in Spanish? Am I right about that? Dolly, Dolly, Dolly mamma,

do it mommay, come on mamma. Well, if that's what Dolly Mommy means, then Dolly Lama must me do it daddy or come on daddy, because yesterday we saw the spiritual leader of the Yellow Hats attempting to get his freak on. What are you talking about, Uncle Charlae. Honestly, I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't

know the Dolly Lama's intentions behind what he did. I just know what I saw, and I saw that eighty seven year old man kiss the little boy on the lips and then ask the little boy to suck his tongue. Let's go to CBS News Miami for the report. Police. The Dolli Lama is facing criticism after a video emerged showing him kissing a child on the lips then asking him to suck his tongue. Now, this happened in February at an event in India. The video shows the young

boy approaching and asking for a hug. That's when the Dolli Lama invited the boy on stage and kissed him. And the statement released today, the Dali Lama apologized, adding he often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way. But he added that he regrets this incident. Now we have the actual audio of him asking get his tongue sucked right and the sun might tongue now nasty. That's another statement. Now. I was reading an article in

the Independent and they were saying that. Online the Dolly Daddy's supporters were defending him, saying that the exchange can be explained by Tibetan culture. Okay, what is the culture? Well, according to a twenty fourteen BBC article, sticking out your tongue can be considered as rude, but in Tibet it's the way of greeting. It has been a tradition followed by the Tibetan people since the ninth century, when the region was ruled by Laying Drama, who was known for

a black tongue. After the death of the king, the locals started showing their tongues when it asked to confirm that they are not like him, are his reincarnation. Okay. The Institute of East Asian Studies you see Berkeley, also mentions this, and it's twenty fourteen piece. The institute said on this website that's sticking out one's tongue is a sign of respect, our agreement and was often used as

a greeting and traditional Tibetan culture. Okay, for every digital d head, all internet imbeciles using this as an excuse, y'all are seeing the devil damn point per usual. He didn't just ask him to stick out his tongue. He kissed him on the lips. As far as I notice. Isn't his child, his grandchild, a relative, just the young boy. And not only did he kiss him on the lips, he asked the young boy to suck his tongue. It's that part of the culture. Okay, I know it's part

of the culture. One of my favorite TV shows, Dave dropped on a Clue's bomb for Dave. Okay, I love Dave on effects all right. I was on the last episode of the first season, but season two in the first few episodes of the new season, fan freaking tastic. Okay, I just got caught up over the last couple of weeks. But on Dave, Gaida and Little Dickie are always talking about getting sucked. Literally, that's how they describe it. That's

what they call it. I got sucked. The dolly Lama might as well as used Dave's line when he was talking to the little boy. Somebody's sucked me. Yes, you know, I just disturbed so many of us because so many of us have been molested by older people in our lives. Okay, including me, all right, I wrote two New York Times

best selling books. I've discussed it. But for those of us who have been molested by older people as usually older people that we are supposed to trust, family, men with spiritual leaders, in some cases teachers, people who are supposed to serve our greater good are usually the ones taking advantage of us as kids. So trust me when I tell you the reaction to stuff like this is personal. Okay.

And when you got young kids, like so many of us do, and you've been touched on before, the parental paranoia that we experienced in no situations I don't even have time to describe to you. All right, now, Okay, that's what my therapist is for. But trusting, believe this image.

This image of sets my demons. And in this era where you can go online and read qua non conspiracy theories of celebrity pedophile rings and Valencia yago, when they got the ad campaigns depicting kids and bdms to tire and the child pornography court ruling papers, and let's not even start talking about the priests and the Catholic Church, okay, which is what I'm sure a lot of people thought

about when they saw this. Now, the Dolly Lamba did apologize, Okay, he apologized to the boy in his family and said he regrets the incident. No, he probably regret that the cameras were rolling. You probably regret that you got caught. Okay. You don't just randomly ask little boys to suck your And honestly, sucking at the tongue might be more intimate than sucking at the meat. You're sucking somebody tongue, especially

in this era of COVID and monkey pots. What's the COVID requirements into bet All the eighty plus year olds I know to this day, to this daywear mask around everybody, especially little germ carrying kids. But this man, the Dolly Mama, Dolly Mama, Dolly Malama is willing to risk respiratory disease at his age because he wants to get his muscular organ in his mouth. That age and chewing, speaking and breathing sucked, the apology continues. The Dolly Lama often teases

people he meets in an innocent and playful way. His holiness wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused. Hey man, maybe I'm looking at this through a Western lens, or maybe I'm thinking about being molested myself and how that adult started in an innocent and playful way. As the Dolly Lama described it in his apology, Maybe I'm just an

anxiety written parent who's triggered by his own traumas. And when I see this video, I say to myself, I would absolutely pistol with any adult who played with my kids like that. Okay, all I know is in this moment, I feel like it's very appropriate to ask for me Ma to give the Dali Lama the biggest he haw he haw he ha. You stupid mother? Are you dumb? Thoughts? Thoughts? Listen? I completely agree with what you said. I was triggered, and you know I've been molested and it was just

it was off. It was reminiscent of what we see with the Catholic Church. We also think about, you know, little children throughout the world that are defenseless. When this man calls himself his holiness, and when we give these people these titles and we revere them in this way, then they are absolved from being held accountable for a lot of their actions. And you know, you see that with the Catholic Church all the time. That was not cool.

That was like a Freudian slip. Absolutely, What happens next? Now? Does he does he lose his power? I don't know, you know, I don't know. He just kidd seem let me suck your tongue and you just stay there. Maybe it's different over there. I don't know. He's gonna be right where, he's gonna be right where you is. Yeah, I don't know. Jesus, All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, all right, now, when we come back, let's open. Jesus would never you said, Jesus, You're right,

Jesus wouldn't never. All right, stop, all right, but let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one on five one. Let's talk ben Zeno. Now, the reason we're discussing ben Zino is, uh, we don't have audio, do we. Oh? We have ben Zino talking about marijuana and his daughter Coy Laurey. Let's listen because she's about fifteen sixteen. Listen that she can't she's smoking. I don't want her to smoke, of course. So it's like damn,

like we know. So I don't want to be the bad guy exactly what you want your kids to be better than right. It's called necessary hypocrisy, But you won't stop. I like that. No, say that again? Necessary all right, So we're opening up the phone lines eight hundred five five one oh five one. Would you smoke marijuana with

your kids? We're taking it out of Benzino. Benzino brought the conversation because he was talking about weed, and he him smoking weed, and he probably you know, seeing his daughter, his daughter probably seeing him do it, and she started doing. But we're asking would you smoke marijuana what your kids? I think what he said is true. I don't, I don't.

I gotta look more into the term necessary hypocrisy. But I think it's almost impossible to not be hypocritical with your kids, right, you know what I mean, because you don't want them to make the same mistakes that you did when you was that that age, even even if you still do it now. You know. Yeah, I never went home and told my daughter teenage pregnancy. Let's got But that is the question. Eight hundred five eighty five, one oh five one. I'm sure like the first time

I ever tasted a Heineken was my dad. My dad gave it to me when I was young. My dad gave me bud bud wise though most corn of South Carolina, baby, the king of bids Heineken, and I never drink again. I spit it right out. I drink, but I was mad, yell ever, I don't even remember the age, maybe thirteen fourteen, Okay, but we're asking, you know, we're spitting things out of your mouth. Yea, yeah, but this the whole idea suck on my tongue, Charlemagne. All right now, the question is

eight hundred five eight one oh five one. Where'd you smoke weed with your children? We're gonna talk about it more when we come back. Don't move it's to breakfast club the morning, the breakfast club sometimes because he doesn't want his daughter to smoke weed. Let's listen, because she's about fifteen sixteen, listen that she can't she's smoking. I don't want her to smoke, of course, So it's like damn, like we know, so I don't want to be the bad guy. Thirteen exactly what you want your kids to

be better than right? It's called necessary hypocrisy. But you'll stop. I like that. No, say that again. Necessary So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. What are your thoughts now? Either you have a daughter, her daughter, and a son ages My kids are My daughter's twenty six and my son is thirty one. Okay, so they of age. So let's say they wanted to smoke with mommy. I don't want to smoke with my kids.

I don't. I don't want to create habits with my kids where we just we different different differentiate parental lines like I'm good with being their mother. No, I don't drink with them. Me that my son doesn't drink. Yeah, I don't. I don't want to like a glass of wine. I'm just asking. I mean my daughter will have a glass of wine at dinner, but we're not about to get messed up, you know, like have that attitude. I

just think you know. Uh. The other thing is it depends on how old they are, right, because even if I did something early, like I joked earlier, like I don't want my daughter, Well you your your brain ain't fully developed. Why are you smoking weed? If I did it? You see how my life turned out? Why you want to do this? Like? You know, I think we kids just be afraid to draw lines with our kids because we want to be cool with them. But you know what,

my daughter is twenty one. Um, I was thinking about it when we had this conversation. Now this is where it would be sticky. Yeah, of course you don't want to smoke or do anything like that with you with your kids. But if my daughter wanted to try marijuana, if she wanted to, I would rather she tried with me and learn with me, then try with somebody one of her friends that she goes to college with. Right, because where she's where where would they be buying this marijuana,

this cannabis from? Where would they be smoking it? Is at least with fetal I would rather have come to Dad and be like, hey, Dad, this is something I wanted to try. I would like to try it with you, because at least I can go to one of the dispensaries I know, or some or you know, get it from even my own you know, cannabis line. I don't know.

I don't think either one of y'all wrong. I think you know, both of y'all approaches to parenting and how y'all choose to, you know, be with your kids is both correct because I can see myself going either way. My kids are fourteen, seven, four in one, so you know, hopefully I don't have to those problems. I hopefully don't

have to have make those decisions anytime soon. But I kind of feel with iison like I want to draw lines between you know, parents and children, Like I'm not your little friend, you know what I mean, And I don't smoke anyway. I do edible right, you know. But let's say let's say you daughter want to do edible you know what I mean? I would you rather she get it from you than Flame? Monroe? Yes, please, the

Flames is out here doing sixty milligible for recreation. Unless you can teach you about micro docing it and teaching hot the effects your parents to getting it from a friend that don't know when she takes something and she don't know what she's taking. A lot a lot of mine isn't for recreation. A lot of mine is for anxiety, you know what I mean. So it's not like I'm doing it just strictly for recreation, even though I do do it for recreation sometimes but not all the time.

So I don't know, I think any would I would like to. I agree with you too. I would like for them to come have the conversation, right, you know what I mean? I agree, but I can't see myself sitting around high with my kids. Yeah, we're not re enacting the scene from Friday, you know. And I think

you know what I mean. I mean, I agree with you, though I would want my kids to come to me and of course monitor the situation, but to create the habit where your kids feel like they can come do that kind of stuff with you, I just feel like you just if that that's the gateway, well happens when they're like, yo, I want to try coke? Now? WHOA I ain't never did that? Now you got about I actididly smoke coke and a blunt, you know what I mean. But I ain't never willingly. But that's part. You see

how you accidentally smoke coke and a blunt. Just imagine if you're your daughter or you know, or one of your kids wanted to smoke and say, you know what, I'm gonna try it. My friend got something and they smoke it. Now they're smoking coke. But that's why I said, I agree with you when I would want my kids

to come talk to me about everything. But I agree with ida when you know it's still lines between my parents and children, because I ain't never sat around and had a drink with either one of my parents, and I wouldn't want to, you know what I mean. I wouldn't. I barely like to drink around my mom. But I know how she feels about that. My mom told us a long time ago, y'all got to watch that alcoholics. Y'all got a long line of alcoholics in your family, So I know how she feels about that. So I

don't know. I can go. I could go either way. I take a little bit of from what both of y'all said, Hello, who's this? Hey? Shit? In a good morning good morning. So I have a take on your question about the mirror wanas before with your kids. Personally, I wouldn't do it. How old our kids? Um, if my children are grown, personally, I wouldn't do it, But I do know parents that do allow it, because if it's gonna be done, it's in the comfort of your own home. Um, I want to see if things are

being added to it. I want to I want to know your reaction to it, you know, because now these mirror want to have benefits where I can't help that. My medicine smells louder than yours. So at the same time, that's what I'm saying. You know, Um, personally, I wouldn't do it if my child is my thirteen or teen you know, definitely know, but a grown child yet definitely. You know, I don't see your reaction monitor it being

done it. Get what I'm saying. Yeah, I would love for my you know, I started I smoked weed mad early. I was like sixteen seventeen. So if my if my daughter who's fourteen, I did feel like that in a couple of years, I wish, I wish she would come to me, so I would tell her no, you know, what I mean, like, that's something you should wait to do until you get older. Your full frontal cortext didn't

even developed a twenty five right. But the only problem with that too is is you know, once a kid wants to try something, they're gonna try it, you know. And if they're reaching out to you to try, you can sit there and say no, I don't want you to. But I would just hate for them to be like, well, I'm gonna try with my friends anyway. And I got the perfect excuse for that. What My daughter called me goofy. All the time. She tells me I'm weird. I said,

that's because I smoked weed when I was young. So after we watched Super Mario Brothers last night and I kept going to you and she's just looking at me like I was crazy. That's because I smoked weed when I was young. So if you don't want to be weird and goofy like your daddy, wait until you get older to smoke your daughters a jeus. She could tell that you're weird and goofy from great buddy. Hello, who's this all right? This is Dove, Hey, Dove, what are

you calling from? I am calling from Ohio, Ohio. Now you smoke with your daughter. No, I let her try it because I've been smoked since I was twelve and have my medical card. When she was sixteen, she's like, I want to try that, so I let her try it and she hates it. No, you let her try it at sixteen to smoke. You let her try it at sixteen. Yes, I don't. I believe that's contributing to the delinquacy of minor Right, are tut? I believe you are absolutely correct. Oh okay, Wow, you said she never

smoked again. She no, she hates it the first time. She's like, I don't feel anything. So I'm like, well, you need to hold that in Jesus Christ. Then then we were going to dinner. She's like, I don't want to go. I can't function. This is stupid. So yeah, no, she hates marijuana. You know it's crazy. I'm nobody. None of us can judge because I'm not gonna sit here act like my dad didn't pas me a bud wid one out the jib full beard though, you damn it man.

Jesus sixty. All right, well eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We're asking would you smoke weed with your kids. Let's talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club for more, call me your opinions to the Breakfast Club topic. Come on, I did five five one five one, wanting everybody a stage. Hey, Envy Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. I'd a rod re gets this. Yeah, our cold and we're asking eight hundred five a five one oh five one? Would

you smoke weed with your child? You know, I'd have said something interesting. I'd have talked about what you was just saying. No that there's a lot of data that connects UM skipzo disorders with um underage kids who have been smoking and doing drugs before they turned before their brain is fully developed, and so there is a lot

of connection to schizophrenia and all of those disorders. So you gotta be careful when when they when you're young, because it happens right around with eighteen nineteen schizophrenia, because your full frontal cortex doesn't develop intil you're twenty five. So drugs and alcohol and all of that definitely uh interfield the development of your full frontal cortex. Absolutely. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this, Hey, Nikki,

We're talking about smoking with your children. What's your thoughts, Mama? So me personally, I would most with my children just to create a safe environment. I feel like if they were just out with their kids or on the street, you know, anything can happen. They could actually only smoke a late one or something like that. So I think it would just be a safe environment for the late experience, for God, for them or not. I think we got

to define this word children. I think as parents we always call our children children, even when they've grown, because what do you mean when y'all say children, I meant twenty one. I meant twenty two, like of age. But a lot of people are talking like how old is your ya? Your child? NIGGI. My oldest is fourteen. So it's funny because I just recently talked to him about you know, drugs or whatever, and he's got into it.

He's just the anime. But I told him, like, if he's ever curious to like, come to me, Like, don't ask your friends to come to me. You gotta go back to what we've been saying all morning. Man, your frontal cortex is not completely developed until you like twenty five drugs interfere with that. You can't be just having these kids. That's why I'm a little off now. Problem where you right, we all of it because we was doing drugs too early. You're more off than anybody else. Hello,

who's this team? Hey tea, good morning? What's going on? What's your thing is? That's act um? You know the parents are trying to be their friends. Some kids gonna have a bazillions friends. They're only gonna have one or two parents. You know, all depends on that. But you know you gotta say your parents stop trying to be friends with those kids. Why would I? Why would I sit back and allow my child to you know, becomeinglegal.

I can't even get the word up, you know, use use marijuana when you know you have to be on a certain level. I don't like how you do all of a sudden, trying to sound professional. Just say weed hat. Youre about to say weed hat, and then you said, just say weed hat. You don't want you kid to be able? You know, why would I? Why would I let my child be a weed head? You know? You know, I mean it's different with the adult child. You know, if they're on if they're you know, how I responsibilities.

They're doing that thing, and if they're to you know, if that's what you and how you want a parent, that's just not how I parent. But that's why I think that the way it is because parents are not parenting. Parents are more trying to be cool. The best part of the parenting is remembering when you were a child, so you can help that child through, you know, certain thing, certain levels of life when they were when they were children, when you were a child. Excuse me, I agree, I

just don't understand. I don't know how we keep that door open for kids to still respect us as parents, would still come to us about everything. But I mean, you kind of need that because even if you look at what influences most of us, right, and I know what influenced you, and I don't know if it happened, but you know, music influenceders so much, right. I favored artists, our culture. Right back then, when we were growing up, we didn't have as many artists talking about weed smoked

like we do now. That's a damn lie. It's not true. We had. They were the biggest, right, doctor dripped out. I've got the chronic that's sold five minute records. I smoked the weed because of Dre and Snoop? Are you talking about that? But now I think about all the artists. Now there's so many small red man Meth and Man, Dre Snoop. I smoked weed because of them, Touche, Are you talking about touch but I'm thinking about but you got whiz Khalifa and stop it. We always do this.

Our error was terrible. Our error was just they learned from us. You're talking about seem like we see it more now. I don't know why, because everywhere we have a purpose. That song because we gotta, they gotta, they got poses. I had no percoses. We have a robot testing song because they had no we did. We did sin all three six Manfall dip set. Yes, yes, yes, we had ro You definitely Beanie Seagull uh uh uh what's the song called? I can't remember Kyle Sarah before

a robot testing comes for me. Yeah, we definitely had to the sharples out. Yeah, definitely surples out maybe right too. Shit, But we didn't have a percose that song. No, we So you had all this rapping about weed and coke, A lot of them weed and coke made my eyes bleed. Um, a lot of mutang kirt daddy, like a lot of people. Story. Oh you don't know, I said, I agree with both of y'all. Like you know, I want my kid to respect me as a parent. Correct, you know what I'm saying,

and they should be lyned like I just said. But then I agree with you and you know you want your kids to always come speak to you about everything. But correct, No, I'm not. I can't see myself getting high with my children to do to do, even when they're of age. Maybe I don't know. I don't know. All right, when we come back, we got your room and report. We're talking Kim k she's in a horror flick. Also, Antonio Brown is being sued. We'll tell you all about

it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club of the morning, the Breakfast Club. Let me see you check it. What is wrong with you? Man? I just want to get the Auntie hype this morning. All right, morning, everybody, we are to Breakfast Club. We got our co host Ida Rodriguez here. She'll be back tomorrow as well. Yes, indeed, but let's get to the rooms. Let's talk or gossip and chatting the rumor report. I mean, I guess we're on the breakfast club. This is where the tea spells,

right on the breakfast club. Now, Rick Ross was in Jamaica over the weekend and somebody came up to him and thought he was dragged. Jake correct, my name is the big what's wrong with Jamaica's WiFi? Man wi Jamaica? I guess not. I ain't never heard that Adam Yankees look the same word on Rick Cross and Drake. That's a total, total, total disconnect from culture. Yeah, that never happened. It's kind of kind of strange, kind of weird. But nay.

Right now, Kim kardashi and you're excited about this. She's gonna start an American horror story season twelve. That's gonna be good bye, because American horror stories good, American harror stories. It comes on effects. If I'm not no Hulu one of them, No, it is effects. I think it is effects. But I think it comes on Hula too, because they all this same company. But American harror story is good, like they really don't miss. So if Dave casted Kim Kardashian,

they've written something, you know, great for her. Okay, yeah, and now we've seen her in small parts of CSI and uh drop Dead Diver and two Broker, so we'll see how that works out. Now, Antonio Brown, it looks

like he's going to be sued by a jeweler. Did Jeweler saying that Antonio Brown owes him one point one million dollars claimed he gave Brown several pieces back in twenty twenty two under the promise that AB would pay him one point one million dollars and allegedly AB hasn't paid anything as of yet, so it looks like he

is being sued. And you have the audio of card to be up there talking about the question about the Yes, I get why you would sue, but if the person hasn't paid you their money when you suit him, what makes you think you're gonna get paid? You know what I'm saying when you win the lawsuit, because you can get stuff right, you can, if you have a judge that sides with you, you can take cars, you can right. Well.

Most of the times when I think people don't pay the jeweler is a lot of times once they have the Julia jewelry already, they usually pay other things other than the jeweler, Like you'll pay your mortgage in Dad, you pay your car note instead, you'll pay all these different things because a lot of times I'm assuming that they forget don't even think about it. But wouldn't you

not want to have that bill? Wouldn't you want to just go ahead and take care to jewels so you don't get to it because now you got to pay your lawyer, and then eventually you end up having to pay the jewelers and costing yourself more money, and you're not gonna be able to sell that jewelry for the amount that you buy it for because it doesn't appreciate, you know. I just I would just like to use

this opportunity to let people out there know. So this is a cautionary tale, but just let people know a lot of these celebrities and athletes be flexing and filosshing on the gram and making trying to make you feel like you're not enough because you don't have listen to the American Express bill not being paid and this jeweler not being paid. A lot of these people going in the whole broke because they're trying to keep up with the Joneses you're doing just right when you start putting

your money in your bank, So don't feel bad. A lot of these people are frauds. That's why when I hear forty plus year old equate money and wealth to what somebody is wearing. Yes, yeah, that's saying to me because everybody I know that got real, real money, in real real wealth, they're not wearing it. You know what I mean? Man. John O'Brian says, if your greatest asset is on your ass yeah you know, then you don't really have any ass as. I sit here in my

Gucci dress, but I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it. So that's the thing about it is that that's why I always tell the truth. Like I wear my clothes, it was given to me. But I'm saying like I wear something more than one time, like absolutely, you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go broke trying to keep up with people. You know, Elon Muss is wearing the same stuff like Bill Gates Where's jeans and a

T shirt? These people will be on the on Instagram making trying to people make people feel bad because they don't have Oh, y'all can't be I'm the I'm the baddest and all of that stuff. You don't even know. These people are living hand to model, Right, what's the point of where I design it if you don't even own a house. Yeah, that's the fact, you know it.

Don't even make things. And I tell everybody out there, it's if you want to buy something, that's that you want to buy, whether it's something Gucci or Louis Vaton or Christian Dior or a nice car or anything anything out there some jury. I always tell people this, invest in something that pays for that, you know, you know,

try to purchase a two family house. I was out in a deep part out in Jersey and they would had homes in the area for like forty thousand dollars and these like multi units, and people were renting him out for thirteen hundred dollars each door. And there was a young dude out there that I was talking to that you know, he was a party promoter and you know, it got cold during COVID and he started investing in this town where nobody was in and he's doing very

well for himself. So I was telling people like, that's what you should do. It's it's okay to buy those things, but make sure your investment pays for that, so it doesn't come out of your pocket, it doesn't come out of something else. So anytime I want to buy anything out there that I want to buy a car or a crib or investment property, I try to make something pay for that so it never comes out of my pocket.

Or in this era, and when I say this era, I'm not even talking about you, from just talking about this era of social media. You know, they would rather look like they have money than actually have money. And I'll say this, I am I am one of four and I was on television, I was doing comedy specials, I was doing work. My three siblings all bought property before me, all three of it. They were more financially literate that you just didn't know what to do with

your money. No, I just didn't have money. I had visibility. They had a steady income, like my income was going up and down. Thank God that I have a financial advisor and I come from that world that I was able to learn what to do with my money. But

they had they had a steady income. And I respect people like that, and I always respect the working class because we Instagram is Instagram is in gang your favorite entertain to be lying, it's the truth and even more, like you said, it's a matter of having the knowledge. I was able to buy my first crib at twenty two years old, so I've been I've been a homeowner

for a long time. But the reason I was, honestly was because my dad was a police officer and he was very mean in the crib and very military style, and I was like, I gotta get out. But at twenty two, I bought my first crib, and I had to ask friends, like I didn't even know what to do, and I called Buster Rams, and Buster Rams actually got me the mortgage officer to get me my first out. My interest rate was fifteen percent, but it was able

to get in my first crib. So I'll tell everybody all the time, just look into things if you're looking in for a crib. Fah loans. They're doing forty year mortgages now to get your crib. And we'll talk more when we come back to People's Choice Mixes up next eight hundred five eight five one O five one for your request, And I want to remind you guys. Memphis, May twenty eighth. I'm doing my car show out there. It's gonna be so dope. We're doing it with Paper Route,

which is Young Dolphs Company. We're gonna have Young Dolfs CAUs there. We're gonna have celebrity cause, excited cause American Muscle. There's gonna be kids five and under a freed, There's gonna be rides, games and all that. Can't wait to see you guys. For more information click the link in my buyer because we'd love to see you guys there. And if you're in the area, you want to put your car in the show or be a vendor dj n V Car Show at gmail dot com. Let's go.

We got a special guest in the building who's came out coming off of a winning knockout. Yes, she cour Stevenson. Ladies and gentlemen, it's good, it's good. It's good. I feel great. Yeah, you had a great training count, and we did everything were supposed to do, and everything showed up on fight night. Yeah. I saw him say that he didn't he didn't believe in your powers. So you came in there with the intentional let me show this

guy how strong I am. Yeah, I love and somebody said I can't do something, and he said I can't punch. So my motivation was to show him. Instantly offered that I could punch, and I sat in front of him, man gave him the fight that he wanted to beat him at that too. You know what I was thinking about it as a fighter, right because I'm watching the fight and it was the clear moment. That's why the referee stopped like this, you can't do it all over that.

And when you when you're a boxer, you start pulling your punches a little bit, knowing that you know this guy is this vulnerable or do you just go harder? Nah, I ain't gonna lie. I had just called my second win, so like the rev stopped it right in town because I was really about to life start beating him up even worse than what I was. Yeah, I told him to let it go longer so I could really knock him out. I want to get my fans like a

real knockout. I was hurting him every time I punched him, so once I had to hit him clean again, he was going out. Now do you think Devin Haney is actually ducking you? I ain't. I ain't gonna get up there in a line act like he's dunking me. I don't think that he's dunking me in a fight, but I think like with Devin, me and whom I know Devin since a little kid, so like we've always been one way class apart. So now that I'm going up to thirty five nine times out of ten, it's only

right for him to go to one forty. So I understand it. But we'll see how the world look at it. You see, y'all used to spar a lot together. Sure you said, used to clean him up. I heard you say, yeah, for sure. Yeah. I feel like I always got the better upper hand of the sparring. But I mean he's back in the day. Yeah, So I know he looking at it like he got better, and I feel as though I got better. So when the fight happening, it's

gonna be amazing to see. Do you feel like that they try to pick two great black fighters against each other, because now it's they have to it's box. But but I'm gonna tell you why. But now it's everything's in record, right. Boxing is at a place now where nobody wants to lose in record. Nobody wants to take it l right. Back in the day, if you lost the fight, If you lost the fight, who cares you get back up and do it. But now everybody wants that that undefeated record,

and both of you brothers are undefeated. Yeah now, but you gotta look at it like this, though the top athletes in our in our weight class is black. I really think about it. Me team, we're all black. So like they want to see the top people fight the top people. I don't look at it like they want to pin us against each other. Even if they do, we don't got no choice but to really squabble because at the end of the day, we're the top athletes. The best, got to fight the best. Like I'm engaging

in that, like I want to fight the best. I want to see who can get in the ring with me and show me that I'm not who who I say I am. Y'all have to. It's just like back in the day when it was Sugar Ray, but losing didn't matter. You lost then, y'all four to getting six months from I don't think losing batters as much. Does I don't think it does. It does. I don't think it does. I think Floyd got your gas with that.

No no, I got the world gas with that. Oh no no. But like in promotions, like in the companies wants the fight to lose, it's like a full step back. It's like they gotta fully start over instead of like our Sugaray Leonard and them lost, they still as big as they are. Like so I just think like it's like a whole restart now at the lose. That's what it depends when you are loss. Yeah, but he he makes it. It's like, okay, all are defeated. Somebody got

to lose. You lose. Everything is going like you lose and you're gonna lose endorsement, you're not gonna get that paid as much all that it could be. Just you know, it depends how you lose. Because I don't look at Deonta Wild is no different. He's still a warrior to me. Now he's a dog, you know what I mean. I respect why. I think why the put everything on the line.

He just came up short against the better. But I think while there's a dog, so it's pressure to stay perfect and not for me, I don't look at it that way because like honestly, I'm so confident in myself. I don't think about losing. I don't think losing, not enough back of my brain. I know I'm gonna win when I getting there, So I ain't think about that.

But I get it, like I understand like the Floyd ever of boxing, the Floyd error is like once you lose, fighters got to like restarted, there's a whole decline in their career instead of them just being the same fighter. Only fighters that really get away with that is fighters from other countries like Anthony Joshua or Canello. Just being that he's a Mexican star. Anthony Johnson was interesting. Only only reason I say he's interested because I just I've

never seen him fight. He's never He's never lost to somebody I thought he should lose to. You know, if he got in the ring with Fury and he lost, I wouldn't look at it. I look at him way different because of who he lost to. Yeah, you know what I mean, Yeah about prior to that though, Yeah, But I mean I think with him, it's more so like I feel like, man, I know I gotta keep it on. I think it's heart problems, like I think he got like a little heart problems. Sometimes like him

going there like the little a guy. He's supposed to impose its will and he didn't impose his will even when I saw him last week I think it was last week, maybe two weeks ago. Yeah, the same thing. Yeah, like you, he's scared to like go in like yo on this just god. Yeah. I mean he got potential though, but you know, I think, um, big baby, Big Baby is one of the new heavyweights that's gonna take over

a boxing really. Yeah, when I was on my undercar, so when when you have to go to another weight class, what's the prep that you gotta do to get to that weight class? Honestly, this this time around, it was just so much easier to make way. I didn't have to work as hard on fight week. I say some of my energy. I felt way better at one thirty five than I felt at one thirty So a lot of people wanted to see how it was going. Phil. I think I displayed powers. I displayed everything on Saturday.

You did? You did misweight once right when w y yep? What does that even mean? And like and how did that affect you as a fighter? I mean it was more so just embarrassing, like it was embarrassment, But you gotta take the embarrassment with all the good stuff that come. But for people that don't know, So what happened. I went to my fight in on North, my last fight before this fight, and I lost my titles. On the scale I had came in over I want to say

one point eight pounds. There was one point eight pounds over. Yeah, bro, you can pee. You can't go. Let me go pe for a second now you I couldn't because you gotta realized I'm dehydrated. So now I'm so dehydrated. Ain't no more war than my body. I'm not sweating, Ain't nothing coming out of my body for me to even lose any weight. So I just you know, took it on the chain and make sure I won that night. Does that Uh? Is that really an advantage? Being like one

pound overweight at one point a pound that? I think it's a disadvantage, honestly, because I feel like if I fight a fighter and they come and overweight and that just showed how much shape, and I feel like I feel like they probably out of shaping. I'm in better shape. So I think it's a disadvantage. That's how I look at it. I think my disfight. I came in on weight. My weight was lower than it was my last fight that one thirty and I was fighting at one thirty five.

So I think it's a disadvantage. Well, ladies and gentlemen should cost appreciate you for joining us, Appreciate your luck the next fight. Thank you?

We used to be real cool, like well we was cool, probably not too long ago. Jumped up to his weight class. Yeah,

now it's competitionous, like forget everybody. We'll see I don't know what you got to say. I mean when you say something, we're seeing. It all comes down to fighting each other the end of the day.

I mean I think about her quite often, but the other day I was just scouring the internet going through a lot of her amazing quotes.

It really really bothers me that, you know, Jazz didn't get to write her own book before she passed. She wrote other people's books, but not her own. But Jazz posted. Identify people that are where you want to be. Didn't pay attention to what they consume. They're usually all active growers consuming things that will make them better. Distractions are cool and small doses, but they never lose sight. Of their goals, start employing that kind of discipline. Rest in peace,

Jasmine breakfast club bitches you, I'll finish it, y'all. Dune
