Speaker 1

Good morning.

Speaker 9

Let me just start a little bit of sports about giants.

Speaker 5

Speaker 1

Yeah, y'all getting washed it night and rantee, you can put money on that car. T you can put what the what the number in Vegas? What's what's the old under? I don't know what the over under.

Speaker 6

And you stick around for it.

Speaker 5

You right, you're right. Well, let's jump right into it. Let's talk what's going on with the migrants, tesla, what's up? But first of all, good morning y'all started.

Speaker 6

In hot Yes, good morning.

Speaker 10

This is behind the scene conversation with me.

Speaker 11

Good morning, good morning, long, good morning, Charlemagne.

Speaker 9

God.

Speaker 11

Well, yeah, last night I stayed up late. I wanted to make sure we got this story on the six o'clock. For a second night, dozens of protesters rallied outside of Island Shores Senior Center on Staten Island, which is now housing about fifteen asylum seeking families, bringing signs that read America First, and a protester said they did not want the city to send these families to the residential neighborhoods. They said that we should be helping our own people first.

But Wednesday's demonstration was tamed compared to the night earlier, when ten people were arrested, including for insulting a police officer, assaulting a police officer. So that's listen to the story and what the Biden administration did about it last night.

Speaker 1

I think everyone's really angry.

Speaker 12

The migrant crisis has reached apocalyptic proportions.

Speaker 1

Financially for our.

Speaker 13

City, stan Island only has two percent of the asylum seekers, and as you can see, other boroughs are doing their best to ensure that they continue supporting and being a welcoming burrel.

Speaker 1

As they rallied.

Speaker 14

Wednesday, the Biden administration announced it will grant temporary protected status to Venezuelans who came to the US before July thirty first of this year.

Speaker 15

That will expedite.

Speaker 14

Work authorization for about four hundred and seventy two thousand Venezuelans seeking asylum in the US, including up to sixty thousand Venezuelans who have come to New York in the past year. And the President is finally taking actions that should have been taken more than a year ago.

Speaker 1

Listen, man, these humans are from Venezuela looking for a better life, deserved that because they are God's children. But if you don't understand Americans looking around and saying, wait a minute, we got.

Speaker 9

A homeless problem here in America.

Speaker 1

We got veterans who fought for this country who are homeless, and y'all doing this for them, you know, I mean doing this with Venezuelans.

Speaker 9

But what about the homeless veterans.

Speaker 1

But if you don't feel them, if you don't understand it, feeling away about that, and you don't.

Speaker 5

Understand, like, well, not even that they're cutting a lot of the programs to make sure that they can afford the housing and food for the migrants, which is hurting a lot of programs for people that live here. And the thing is if you look at the fact that they'll send twenty billion dollars and twenty million dollars to all these other countries, but they have to cut programs

here that we already don't have money for. Whether it's you know, I think it was community programming, it was programming to get people off the streets, it was gun violence programs, whatever the programs are they have to cut here. But you see the government sending billions of billions and billions of billions of dollars to help these other nations. Yeah, I would feel a way as well.

Speaker 6

But hasn't that always been an issue for us though, us like taking care of outside first.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that's why people be screaming America first.

Speaker 11

Yea, it works, Yeah, exactly, And I'm glad you guys brought up that point and Mayor Adams saying the opposite, because they're they're saying, you know, this is all about Hey, if they want to work, let them work. But just like you guys mentioned, it's much deeper than that. It's not just about people just want to work. It's about taking, like you said, a lot of those benefits. So Mayor Adams is on board with this. He said that these folks want to contribute to the American dream and we

need and they need to find a pathway to do so. So, you know, two things can be true at the same time. You know, give people that opportunity to work, and that's one of the arguments that they're saying, Charlemagne. They're saying that in order so they won't keep draining these programs, Let's give them a job.

Speaker 10

But how do we know you know that they'll get the job. Where are they going to get these jobs?

Speaker 11

Or is it just giving temporary status, you know, just for the sake of doing it. So this temporary status is supposed to last for about eighteen months allegedly. We'll see if that happens, and they can apply until March twenty twenty four. So let me toss that back to you, guys. Do you think that these folks to be going straight into employment and getting off these programs or what?

Speaker 1

Yesterday I gave I had twenty one dollars in my pocket. I gave it to a veteran. It's his sign said he was a veteran and he was homeless, and his sign literally said looking for work. That veteran wants a job, he should get it first.

Speaker 9

Well, let me ask you that. Well, you know, and I hate to say that.

Speaker 5

You know, that's why a lot of people like Trump because Trump was saying protect home first, am America first. And that's why a lot of people are like, Okay, I'm arrived for Trump because he was saying America first. But you look at like you said, you look at our veterans and how we treat our veterans. You look at how we treat everybody else out there, and it's like this is pretty sad. It feels like a lot of times we take care of other places faster and quicker than we take care.

Speaker 1

Of this looks hyper critical, simple as that?

Speaker 5

All right, Well that is front page news test. We're seen in a couple of minutes. Absolutely everybody else, Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

Speaker 19

This is jazz cleaning some queens? What's up?

Speaker 6

Envy?

Speaker 5

Hey, what's up jazz?

Speaker 1

Get it off here, queen.

Speaker 19

So, I was listening to you guys about the living them in our country. I agree. I don't think that thing should be able to come me. I think that they're taking away from us. I think that they left an odd value when it comes to the work. I think everybody, Hey Trump, I love Trump, I want Trump back, and I'm black. I feel like Trump was for another cut, and I think other people seeing it different because they're not looking into what Trump says. They take the money

out of our pockets. We can't get jobs with good paying benefits because we had them coming here and working for let's paying no benefits and employee is like that, employers are going to take that they can work under the table. We can't do none of that. And I feel like we having more heart out here, and we're from another cut We don't have the resources, but other people get to come here and builds up. We don't get to go to other countries and do that. So I wish that we will cut.

Speaker 4

Down on that.

Speaker 1

Yeah, if America really was the place that it proclaims to be, and we had our stuff together as far as like you know, the homeless and our streets and you know our veterans, you know, actually having stable incomes and not being homeless and having work, then I wouldn't have no problem with them helping other people. But our backyard is filthy, right, we got to clean up ball backyard.

Speaker 19

Right.

Speaker 8

I'm like Trump is the answer. I just think that we need to just get better at what we do in the house.

Speaker 5

In the crab first, I agree, but that's what I said earlier. I said that's the reason why a lot of people like Trump because they felt like.

Speaker 9

He took care of home first.

Speaker 1

Hey, he screams America first. I don't believe that, though, I believe that he cares about Trump.

Speaker 5

Speaker 5

We'll get it off your chest. Eight hundred and five eighty five, one oh five. We got rumors on the way. Give us a little tease, Lauren.

Speaker 8

Yes, we are going to be talking about Kenneth Petty and there are reports out right now that he is going to have to serve house arrests following that video that he put out looking for offset.

Speaker 5

All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody's d J n V. Charlamaga, God, we are the Breakfast Club. I got our guest co host Laura la Rossa with us this morning.

Speaker 9

And let's get to the rumors.

Speaker 7

From the.

Speaker 5

Just the rumor report.

Speaker 8

I think a lot of people will recognize the boys from the name on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 6

Lauren came in hot, you know, John said I came in hot this morning too.

Speaker 9

Yes we did.

Speaker 5

Yeah, coming out he came spy this morning, A little glad you here, like I said earlier, because I was so sick in here talk about all these relationship stories, and he wanted me to key key with him.

Speaker 1

I don't want to keykey with We want to kick a little.

Speaker 6

Bit, y'all, but just a little bit, right.

Speaker 8

So, Kenneth Petty, who is the husband of Nicki Minaj, you guys remember the night of the VMA's, him and his friends got on Instagram and decided to call out Offset and said they were outside looking for him the.

Speaker 6

Night of the VMA It was, Yeah, I think it was that.

Speaker 8

I think it was after. It was following the vm follow the VMA's. So let's let's listen to that video first and we'll get into what happened following that.

Speaker 5

Big queens, sturdy nigga was fopping.

Speaker 1

Money. You don't know, said, you don't know, big zoom planning your funeral. Let's play what's up? They wanted? They come man at the real amazement. I ain't even we ain't even do nothing to nobody. Man, Man, what's happened? Many? Yeah, that's just ignorant, that's just niggas corny, lame like, there's nothing fly about that type of behavior.

Speaker 8

Well, I will say, now Kenneth Petty is planning in a little vacation of his own at home because the judge that originally sentenced him to probation in twenty twenty two for failure to register as a sex offender saw this video and said, you know what, I think you need to do one hundred and twenty days of home detention provision at home house arrested because you were making threatening remarks toward a specific individual while in the company of someone.

Speaker 6

With the criminal record.

Speaker 8

The reporters are pointing out the fact that that specific individual that he was making those starts at offset the husband of Cardi b. So this is a big lesson, and stay off the internet. I mean, dumb is dumb, but if you're gonna do it, definitely stay up the internet. Because now he finds himself in a situation reportedly where he is about to be looking at one hundred and twenty days at home.

Speaker 1

There's a lot of lessons in this, and you know, the reality is he earned and every bit of this because you had the audacity to be acting like that on the FBI's Internet. You're forty five years old, you already on probation, you have a crazy criminal record already, and you're telling somebody to plan their funeral online like you begging the go to prison. And it's incredible to me that all these street dudes have let the internet

make them forget street rules. Number one, you should have been let go of all the childish ways of the street first and foremost.

Speaker 9

That's number one.

Speaker 1

But number two, I remember a time when folks wouldn't talk about any dirt over the phone. Now y'all recording y'allselves in four K and posting it online.

Speaker 6

Listen.

Speaker 8

And another thing too, is is God forbid something worre to go down? Write and something happens to anybody? This is all the document like, this is all documented.

Speaker 6

This is I don't know.

Speaker 5

I never understood the whole I'm going to talk online, I'm going to talk on live.

Speaker 9

It makes no sense.

Speaker 5

You're doing the work for the police.

Speaker 1

Then you don't like snitches but your self incriminating yourself.

Speaker 6

And you're the husband of Nicki. It was one of the biggest not that's not even talk about one of the biggest celebrities in the world.

Speaker 1

You don't have respect for yourself, at least have respect for your wife and who she is an extension of her brand. At least don't make her a little crazy. I really got a.

Speaker 8

Child like, come on then grow up and so cute, Papa, very soy. I hate to see this though, but.

Speaker 1

What part of law enforcement has social media too? Don't y'all understand what part of law enforcement has social media too? Don't y'all under sad everything?

Speaker 5

When I say everything, When you steal a car and then you post, hey I'm driving in this car, they see all of it. They know that when you post a gun, they see all of it. They just jotted down and just in the wrong field.

Speaker 1

Man, Because I like to laugh, I know law enforcement be having a ball looking at these niggas dying.

Speaker 5

I got another one.

Speaker 1

You believe what they.

Speaker 7

Look at this?

Speaker 6

Look we didn't have to run and chase them.

Speaker 1

Yes, I'm saying, imagine being seventy years old in law enforcement, how hard they used to have to work. Now they probably just sitting there.

Speaker 6

They hate on the young boys. Oh y'all just get on that Instagram.

Speaker 1

I never had to do no real detective work.

Speaker 5

We have to do real But like you said, they ain't got a chase and just putting the phone to see where you're at. Oh, he had his mama house. We get him later on that they.

Speaker 6

It's the Breakfast Clove Morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same morning. Everybody is TJ n B, Charlamagne, the gud. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co host, Laura La Rosi here. Let's get in

some front page news. Just a little head jump giant play the forty nine the night at eight fifteen pm. Let's coach, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 1

I think Vegas said, uh, forty nine ers, they got ten. I think that's the spread. That's how you read those things.

Speaker 9

I'm a better on that game. I think.

Speaker 1

How much.

Speaker 9

I don't know, not that much.

Speaker 1

Put it up.

Speaker 10

No, you said they on a winner street. But put your money where your mouth is.

Speaker 6

I just want to hit it on record.

Speaker 5

I mean, I'm gonna bet a little bit. I ain't betting a lot that's gonna change my life now. I'm just gonna bet it over to give me some drinks and some food or something. All right, but let's jump right into it. Let's talk about these House Republicans clash with Attorney General Garland. What happened?

Speaker 11

Yes, they clashed on yesterday accusing him and the Justice Department of weaponizing work in favor of President Joe Biden's son Hunter. Now, Gardland's overseen two cases at the same time, which is historic, one with Donald Trump and the other against the sitting president's son, and Republicans on the Committee, which is led by Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio, set the tone with accusations that the Justice Department is favoring

the Biden family while targeting Trump. Let's take a listen to Attorney General Garland's response.

Speaker 23

Because I had promised that I would not interfere with this investigation. The way to not interfere is to not investigate an investigation.

Speaker 6

I don't understand what he does is Yeah, that last line kind of got me test.

Speaker 11

Hope anyone on to say that our job is not to take orders from the President, from Congress or anyone else about who are what to do with this investigation.

Speaker 10

I am not the President's a lawyer.

Speaker 7

I am.

Speaker 11

Also, he also wants to add that he is not the prosecutor for Congress. The Justice Department wants to work for the American people. So bottom line is he said he's not interfering, he's not investigating the investigation, which means, you know, he's not getting involved in the investigation. He kept on Weiss, who was appointed by Trump, which is the one that obviously brought the indictment against Hunter Biden's son.

So basically saying, hey, you know, I'm not interfering. I'm letting it, letting it happen and play out in the courts as far as Trump is concerned and Hunter Biden.

Speaker 5

Let me ask you a question, is Hunter Biden really soon the I R s uh, yeah.

Speaker 1

I mean.

Speaker 11

Yeah, anybody, well, anybody can sue. They are risen by Gasoue. The question is it is it actually gonna work?

Speaker 1

Yeah? I don't you know. But to go back to the original story, I wouldn't doubt if there is a favorite towards Hunter Biden because personally, I feel like the DJ only bought charges against Hunter Biden because they bought charges against Trump, so they don't want.

Speaker 9

To look like, you know, these things are political.

Speaker 10

Right, you know, favor in a bad way. So what do you mean, Like, I.

Speaker 1

Wouldn't I wouldn't doubt if there's if there's a favorite towards Hunter just period, because like I said, I feel like they only bought charges against Hunter because they don't want to make it seem like them going after Trump. It's political. They want to look like they're you know, equal and fair all across the But I mean the reason I say I wouldn't doubt if there is favorable because you can see just the way the media covers the Bidens versus the Trumps is totally different.

Speaker 9

Like if this is one of Donald Trump's kids, Come on, if.

Speaker 6

Somebody would have created series on TikTok news every day all.

Speaker 9

The news outlets discussing well not all of them and.

Speaker 8

MSNBC, but Trump is just more like everything about that side is just a lot more entertaining.

Speaker 6

Like there's not a lot of entertainment with Biden and family.

Speaker 9

I'm just being entertaining.

Speaker 6

I mean, yes, he has a lot, but it's just different.

Speaker 1

And you don't know that they're so entertaining. It is because the media don't cover them like correct If the media gave the Bidens and the Hunters and everybody else the same type of coverage and dug into them the way they dig into the Trumps, you see how entertaining they actually are. Biden here doing cocaine, he's sleeping with hookers.

Speaker 9

He's saying a word.

Speaker 6

I was to say, I need to hit you up for the djat all.

Speaker 9

Right, now, let's talk about Amazon.

Speaker 5

We talked about workers getting jobs, but Amazon is looking to hire two hundred fifty thousand people.

Speaker 10

Yeah, this is good for those who want to make a little extra Christmas cash. I wanted to make sure that you have this story.

Speaker 11

They said that they will hire two hundred and fifty thousand full time and part time workers for the holiday season.

Speaker 10

That's a sixty seven percent jump since last year.

Speaker 11

Target also announced it it will be adding one hundred thousand seasonal rolls of this holiday.

Speaker 10

Shout out to Target. That was one of my first jobs.

Speaker 11

But Amazon noted that more jobs are available because the company has opened fifty new filming centers, delivery stations, and same day delivery sites in the US this year.

Speaker 10

They said that this will contribute one point three billion.

Speaker 11

Towards hikes for warehouse and transportation employees, raising the average pay for those roles from nineteen dollars to twenty dollars and fifty cents per hour.

Speaker 1

Oh, if you're looking to make some extra money during the holiday, Amazon and Target got you there in your face you see where they at one hundred thousand jobs talking want to add to fifty Amazon wants to add go get you a little extra incomfort for the holiday Amazon job.

Speaker 6

Just to be clutch in college on the breaks because you could go work and then go back to school.

Speaker 1

How do you you do?

Speaker 9

You go working for the factory.

Speaker 8

Yeah, you go work on the like you know, packaging and stuff, and then like you could get this, you do seasonal work with them. So you go like I would go on my back to college whenever I couldn't do like internships. You go work and then you just go back to school because it's your season.

Speaker 9

It's hard to get.

Speaker 1

You just go there and fly.

Speaker 6

As long as you could pass the drug test. It used to be as long as you can pass the drug tests.

Speaker 5

You was good.

Speaker 1

You passed the drug test. Work.

Speaker 6

I don't do drugs.

Speaker 5

Job like you knew something? Drug test?

Speaker 1

Lah? Shoot you you.

Speaker 6

Speaker 10

That a way they paid they paid for college tuition. Did you take advantage of that benefit?

Speaker 1

No, I didn't know that.

Speaker 8

I'm stilling that. Can I get like my too late now my emphasize reparations? Can I get like the back pay?

Speaker 1

You have a part time employee.

Speaker 23

They do that.

Speaker 11

I'm a but I know, I know it's a benefit. It's the reason why a lot of people go do it. They go work at four a m. And, you know, help unload those trucks, and it's one of the benefits they advertised as well.

Speaker 6

I was asking.

Speaker 1

Maybe missing.

Speaker 6

Because you had to you had to hit certain numbers, and I wasn't hitting them.

Speaker 1

I was.

Speaker 6

It was tough them jobs are not as easy as you think. But I just wanted the money.

Speaker 9

Job supposed to be easy.

Speaker 6

They want her to work, trying to do all that stuff with nails.

Speaker 1

And like, I just came to work like this.

Speaker 9

You probably came to work make up for I.

Speaker 6

Needed the money.

Speaker 8

That was the one year where I couldn't leave Delaware because I felt a class. I had to do a summer class, so I couldn't do it. No internships, so I just had to figure it out.

Speaker 10

Many though Americans don't be wanting.

Speaker 6

To work, you want to work. I just wanted to be cute too, all right.

Speaker 1

Well that is for page News, uh huh, and make sure you subscribe that to Figuos podcast A great shot no chase of podcasts on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network and follow at Tesland figure out on all social media platforms.

Speaker 5

All right, when we come back, Elaine well to Roth to be joining us. You know who.

Speaker 9

She's a journalist and an author, a television host and so much more. When we go kick it with her when we come back, I don't move.

Speaker 5

It's the Breakfast Club on b ET the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1

Morning.

Speaker 5

Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building this morning. Yes, indeed you have, Miss Elaine well Troth.

Speaker 9

Welcome.

Speaker 5

Hi guys, hik you for it this morning.

Speaker 6

I'm good.

Speaker 5

How are you good?

Speaker 7

Good?

Speaker 9

Good Black and Holly favorite.

Speaker 2

I love it.

Speaker 9

So now you're here for a conversation project.

Speaker 15

Yeah, okay, amazing stations project.

Speaker 13

Yep.

Speaker 9

Now what is the conversation project?

Speaker 20

So the Conversations Project, which is on Hulu is basically so it's inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. Soon it's like, you know, think back to the era when you know, black intellectuals, academics, entertainers would rub shoulders and break bread and and share ideas in a safe space. And we wanted to recreate that on television. And it's it's really incredible. It's it's bringing together some of the greatest minds in

our culture from every corner of the world. So you have you have artists, you have entertainers, have we had a black astronaut all coming together to really exchange ideas, and you know, you don't have anything like this on television, which is kind of crazy when you really think about it, It's like, how has it taken this long for a show like this to come about?

Speaker 15

But I'm so glad that it did.

Speaker 20

And we just talk about everything under the sun that affects our community, and we talk about it through a black lens, and we debate, we laugh, we you know, we agree, we challenge each other, and it's really intergenerational. It's just a really positive, nuanced place to have conversations that matter in our culture.

Speaker 1

I feel like it's very out of it.

Speaker 9

I'm sorry.

Speaker 1

I feel like it's very hard for us to have conversations nowadays. I feel like we're all talking at each other instead of tuning with each.

Speaker 20

Other that part, And that's why I think a show like this is so important because it's modeling how to have productive, constructive dialogue, how to listen how to not react,

you know, defensively. It's really important, I think, especially in these times that are so divided, it's so divisive, to really give people an example of how you can articulate your point of view and also appreciate and listen to somebody else's point of view and maybe even evolved, you know, maybe even maybe your maybe your perspective might evolve in the process.

Speaker 15

So I think a show like this is so important.

Speaker 20

And for me, I always, whether I'm writing books or on television, I want to create what I think the world needs more of. And I think the world needs more of hard converse examples of hard conversations that are being tackled in a really constructive way.

Speaker 1

I love that because I feel like, you know, over the last several years, we've seen all of these, you know, topics that we never discussed come to the forefront, but we're still not having nuanced conversations about them. We're not healing back layers. We're just telling you your trash if you believe this, your trash if you don't think like this.

But it's just like Yo Wednesday exchange of ideas. So those people that you may not like the way they think about a certain thing, they might evolve on the subject because you just have a conversation.

Speaker 15

Exactly and you might evolve.

Speaker 20

I think that's the that's the thing is to come to the table with an open mind and be willing to listen. I learned my mind was open, you know. I came with an open mind and open heart. I think everybody did. And you know what help I forgot to mention this. I can't believe I forgot to mention this. It's a dinner party.

Speaker 22

So you have like.

Speaker 20

Michelin Star, you know, a Michelin Star chef who is giving us incredible food and black own wines and we are just like so, I feel like everybody came in like maybe a little nervous, like was about to happen at the table, and they gonna there's gonna be There're gonna be some gotcha questions, and then everyone just realizes this is actually a safe space. Sip some wine, you know, you relax your nerves are you know, settle a little.

And we really we came to the table, many of us strangers, and we walked away feeling like we had extended community.

Speaker 15

We like like a family, honestly, so it was.

Speaker 20

It was beautiful, and I hope, I honestly hope that it inspires people to have some of these conversations at their own dinner table with their own friends, at their work, at their church, Like whatever the community is that you are a part of, this is how you can have

these conversations and also invite people over to your house. Again, like we've all been in isolation for so long and we thrive in community, you know, but it takes somebody to be intentional about curating the right group, about sending that invitation, bringing people to creating a safe space and really guiding the conversation. So I really hope that like this is like the return of the dinner party.

Speaker 5

You know, who are some of the people that are I know every episode is a different cast, So who are some of the people that are at the table?

Speaker 20

Yeah, we had a whole wide range of people, like I said, from black astronauts to entertainers to authors, athletes. So we had a couple of people we had that I really love Phoebe Robinson, She's hilarious, Shine, Jim Jones, Ali Love roy Wood, Junior, Tory Notton, Torri Notton, she was amazing. Yes, Lena Bloom and so the hosts were there's three hosts. One is the chef, David Lawrence. He has a restaurant in the Bay Area, but he's originally from the UK and he's he's a little bit older.

Speaker 15

I call him uncle.

Speaker 20

And then we have Mark Spears, who is at ESPN and N. He's a Hall of Fame sports writer. And they conceived of this show, they pitched it, they got it sold, which is a miracle to me in this landscape, especially for a black show, bringing together black folks to have black conversations that are you know, smart, intellectual and not track like We're not sitting there trying to trash each other, which is usually what you see get sold.

Speaker 15

And then they brought me on.

Speaker 20

They wanted to have a woman's perspective at the table, someone who could help bridge the generations. And I immediately, I mean, once I understood the concept of the show, the spirit of the show, the intention of the show is like, sign me up.

Speaker 15

This is a dinner party. I feel like anybody would want to be invited to. So it was an honor to be a.

Speaker 23

Part of it.

Speaker 1

How did you pick the people you wanted to have a conversation because you know, when you talk about curating the lack people, even when you say let's bring back the dinner party, I'm just not letting nobody in my house. Your energy gotta be.

Speaker 15

Right, Your energy got to be right. That's the part I think. I think we all just kind of agreed.

Speaker 20

We all brought our list, and we all kind of thought, we want to make sure every single table is really intergenerational.

Speaker 15

So that was a really important piece.

Speaker 20

We wanted to make sure that it was co ed, so there was a nice mix of you know, men and women, and that everyone was represented, so trans folks.

Speaker 15

Queer folks.

Speaker 6

You know.

Speaker 20

I think the beauty of this show is that it showcases the spectrum of blackness, right Like, we talk about what it means to be black and queer black and trans to what it's like to we talk about the biracial experience and everything in between. We got you know, old elders in the room, we got the young folks in the room, we got the millennials, and what you see is that which it just reminds you that blackness is not a monolith. We come from all different places,

all over the world, with different perspectives. And it really it shapes our worldview. But when we break bread with each other, when we break down these conversations together, we realize how much more we have in common than what divides us.

Speaker 9

Yeah, it was one conversation that stood out the most to you that you remember.

Speaker 5

That's something that she was like, Wow, this is going to spark a lot of conversation and interest when this episode will leads so when people see this episode.

Speaker 20

Yeah, So two come to mind. One is a conversation with Brett Gray, who's this gen Z actor, and he brought such an incredible energy to the table, and he got into a kind of a contentious conversation with the older gentleman at the table who we were calling them

ogs so David Lawrence, Mark Spears. They were talking about sort of how this older generation we're talking about black manhood and toxic masculinity, and how the older generation of black men in us, with the intention of trying to protect and guide the next generation of black men, sometimes their way can crush the spirit of this younger generation. And aren't as oppressed. That aren't as you know, they aren't, they aren't facing They're living in a completely different world.

Speaker 5

All we got more with Elaine World to Wroth when we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning warning, everybody's dj V Charlamage to God. We are the breakfast Club. We still be able Miss Elaine World to Wroth Charlamagne.

Speaker 1

And you know what it was too, It's like, it's not even about what we what we uh, it's about what we learned, but what we got to unlearned as we get older, because you know, I would be the first to admit we were a whole generation that was raised wrong. I'm we're raided wrong in a lot of ways, you know. So it's like, yeah, it's about what you have to unlearn absolutely too.

Speaker 20

Yeah, and you know, I'm a new mom. I just had a baby seventeen months a congratulations to thank you.

Speaker 15

So I felt like I was there.

Speaker 20

Listening more than I talked on topics around parenthood. You know, rox Sane Chante came on, and you know, she was one of the sort of our elders and we respect her.

Speaker 15

And she was talking about, you.

Speaker 20

Know, parenting as a black mom, especially a single black mom, how parenting a young black man is different from parenting a young woman.

Speaker 1

You had your child at home. Right, I think I read that I did.

Speaker 15

Yeah, I had a home I had a home birth with a midwife.

Speaker 1

Were you Is it because of all the things that are going on in the hospitals and the way the Black maternal death rate is you just didn't trust it.

Speaker 9

It's also during the pandemic COVID right seventeen months ago?

Speaker 1

Right? No, No, wasn't it.

Speaker 15

I mean, are we still dependent?

Speaker 10

I don't know.

Speaker 20

I don't know what stage we are, but I mean, well, listen, I got married at home. Am I stoop during the pandemic? And I had my baby at home. I don't know what stage of the pandemic it was, but yes, it was because you know, I went I went into pregnancy thinking that I was going to have a hospital birth, just like you know my mother did and my grandmother did.

That's the norm in our country. But and I sort of knew about the maternal mortality crisis and the Black maternal mortality crisis, like in a peripheral sense, like it's something that happens out there in the world, but maybe not as much here. I think I bought into this myth that it also, you know, tends to happen only in impoverished communities, and so here I am as this, you know, as black women go in this country.

Speaker 15

I am I have all the privileges you could have. So I thought I wouldn't have.

Speaker 20

A problem having my baby in the hospital, finding a great doctor, finding great care, and I was so shocked to learn how difficult it is to find a healthcare provider in our current medical system that makes you feel safe, that makes you feel listened to, that makes you feel like you know, they there's a compassionate person that's going to make sure that you have the birth that you want. So I went through from doctor to doctor to doctor, and this is me. I am, like, you know, I'm

I'm pretty well connected. I got resources, I could go to the best of the best, and I had bad experience after bad experience after bad experience. It was so incredibly humbling, and it was the first time where I had to really confront the fear that I could very well become another statistic And what I learned as I went through this journey is that this issue is so complex. It is this crisis, this maternal mortality crisis that you

know overly impacts black women, is very real. Unfortunately, the rates of deaths are actually surging. It's really scary. And I think when you talk about it with folks, I think people still have there's this concept, this misconception that this isn't happening in this country, that this isn't happening to people who look like me or come from where I come from. You know, it's not happening to well educated black women of means.

Speaker 15

It absolutely is.

Speaker 20

And and as I've gotten deeper into this work and into the stats, I realized that black, wealthy women are dying at higher rates than poor white women in this country during and after childbirth. So when you understand, like truly, where where, what the picture is, and how how prevalent this issue is in our country and the richest country in the world, you start to think about what informs your your point of view on what a safe where a safe birth happens, and and and who's delivering your

baby and why these messages are what you believe? You know, And so I thought, you know, I always thought, like, oh, to be safe, I should have you know, I've heard of home.

Speaker 15

Births, I've heard of midwives.

Speaker 20

Sounds beautiful, God bless, but to be safe air quotes I'm going to have my baby in a hospital. But is it truly safer to have your baby in a hospital when you're a black woman in America? You have to really you have to unpack that explaining the process.

Speaker 9

Because we've had m Thomas time several times.

Speaker 1

Thomas is your wife pregnant?

Speaker 9

We had our last two. Latham was our dula for our last two.

Speaker 20

She what Latham is incredible. Latham is like also another unsung hero.

Speaker 9

Oh man, she's several times.

Speaker 5

So explain the process.

Speaker 20

I'm so glad you asked this because we need to reframe pain for birthing people. I too, was so incredibly scared of not having access to an epidural. Like even when I found my midwife, I fell in love with her. I was like, I would love for you to birth my baby, but can we just have an epidural just in case?

Speaker 15

Could it just be there?

Speaker 20

And She's like, kind of like the whole thing, you can't have an epidural for a home birth.

Speaker 15

And that was the thing that made it.

Speaker 20

It was like the hardest part for me to overcome is like what if I can't handle the pain.

Speaker 5

Correct And.

Speaker 20

I actually did not decide to have a home birth until thirty six, thirty six or thirty seven weeks, it was like go time, and I still was like, you know, dating doctors and tiptoeing like that line. And ultimately I made the call because I was able to shift my mindset around pain, and I did that with the support and the guidance of my midwife. She talks about pain, the pain of childbirth as purposeful as directional, and she doesn't even use the word pain.

Speaker 15

She used the word She uses the word waves.

Speaker 20

She uses the word words like intensity, And she made it clear to me that your body has been preparing for this since the day you started your period. Those cramps that you feel, that discomfort that you feel is the exact pain that you will feel as labor starts. So it's not an unfamiliar pain like I thought I was going to be, like, like it's gonna feel like.

Speaker 6

Knives in my.

Speaker 24

Right to make it seem like it is absolutely horror, horrifying like the movies and everything we've ever seen about Earth is all inspiring fear.

Speaker 20

None of it is inspiring self trust. And what a midwife does, and what my midwife did is completely she gave my power back to me. I feel like we have been trained as a culture, conditioned as a culture to give our power away as women, as black women, as birthing people. We give our power away to these authorities in white lab coats that often undermine our intelligence, that often gaslight us, that take advantage of the power that we give away.

Speaker 15

We're not taught about our bodies. We're not taught about what we were built to do.

Speaker 20

We're not taught about how babies have been getting here since the beginning of time, which was not in a hospital, right. We're not taught about how the obi obstronetics came about and that it was set up to as a business that prioritizes profit over patients.

Speaker 15

We're not taught this.

Speaker 20

Once you learn just how systemic and complex this issue is, we start to realize that, like you need to, there's a lot of unlearning that we have to do.

Speaker 9

We got both with Elaine Well to Wroth.

Speaker 5

When we come back, don't move.

Speaker 9

It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5

Good morning warning, everybody's dj n V Charlemagne the God we are to Breakfast Club. We still here with miss Elaine well to Wroth. So when you said data doctors, don't most people use their gynocologists to deliver their baby, so with somebody that they see that knows them, that they trust or is that not true?

Speaker 20

No, absolutely, that's the ideal scenario, right. But you have to understand we were, first of all, in a pandemic.

Speaker 15

I had just moved to a new state. In a pandemic.

Speaker 20

I didn't have a general doctor, you know, I didn't have a regular physician, let alone in obgyn.

Speaker 15

I hadn't gone to the doctor since the beginning of the pandemic.

Speaker 20

I'm generally healthy, and so I wasn't thinking about seeking out a doctor or an obgyn until I got pregnant. So once I got pregnant, I thought, Okay, how hard is it to find a good doctor?

Speaker 15

Can't be hard. I live in the mecca of you know I live. I live in LA I did all the things you're supposed to do.

Speaker 20

I got referrals, I checked you know, I checked everyone at all these doctors out on Google. I went in prepared with questions, and what I found is that I was met with resistance. I would say, at best, it's

like the most polite way I was. I was met with resistance when I came in with questions, when I came in sort of informed, and when I had the audacity to, you know, ask what I thought were basic questions about how this would go to and also just try to when I tried to just form some sort of you know, connection to this person, it was like I was rushed the in and out girl.

Speaker 15

I was literally told like a.

Speaker 5

Fast food service, I got fast food.

Speaker 20

I'm I don't think people understand that when you when you are pregnant, you are in your most vulnerable state, right. I didn't even know to expect that, And I was very emotional, and I came in and I was rushed people. These doctors would not look at me in my face. They just kind of toss medication my way without even asking me. I mean, it was just it was so inhumane. I had vials of blood, six vials of my blood

taken on accident without apology. They tried to excuse it and act like it didn't happen.

Speaker 15

Like so many things happen. It was like, I now see how this happens.

Speaker 5

I just don't like how they don't allow you to film. Right, you pay for service. You're paying for that. It's not free, right, you're paying for that. But they won't allow you to film your birth in most hospitals, and they say it is to protect.

Speaker 9

Them, so if they do something wrong, you can't protect yourself.

Speaker 20

I just never understood that there's so much you can't do that I didn't know in most cases. In many cases, I should say, you can't eat in the hospital once you're in labor. You have to have an IV in your system, which means you can't move around freely. Yes, sure, you most of the time have to deliver on your back or in the bed, which let's just think about this for one moment. Is this completely changed my outlook

on birth. When one of my girlfriends was like, she had a home birth, and she said, think about how gravity works. Right, if you had to push a bowling ball outside out of your body.

Speaker 9

You'd stand up a squat.

Speaker 18

Right.

Speaker 20

Does it make sense to lay on your back to push a bowling ball out of your body or does it make sense to be upright to use gravity? When somebody said that, I was like, Yo, that is the most basic thing, And how come we why have we been trained to think that this is the only way birth should happen on your back with a doctor seated at the that's for the doctor's convenience. And I'm not saying this in all cases. For some cases you must be on your back, it's the safest thing. In some

cases you need medical interventions. In some cases you need a see section. Like I am not anti doctor and I'm not anti hospital, but what I am is pro woman and pro baby, and I think that our needs and our desires and our.

Speaker 15

Wishes should be honored, you know.

Speaker 20

And I've had a doctor literally in the middle of of asking questions, stand up and walk out of the room and say, you have exceeded your two to three question Max, And I've given you some grace.

Speaker 5

But I need to go two to three question Max.

Speaker 15

I'm like, I am in my.

Speaker 20

Most vulnerable state and I am coming to you with legitimate questions with a polite attitude. I'm friendly, and you are just shutting me down as walking out on me. And it just made me feel so small and even as some And I think it's important for someone like me to talk openly about this because I think that people would assume that someone this couldn't happen to someone like me, like no way, you know, I'm outspoken, I'm a journalist, I'm informed, I'm confident, But the experiences that

I had with these doctors, you guys broke me down. Wow, it made me question myself. It silenced it silenced me, It made me. I cried after every appointment. I started thinking something's maybe wrong with me, Like do I need to smile more? What can I do to make myself seem worthy of good care in the presence of these doctors. That is not the way it should be. I'm paying for the service I'm paying into. So the whole medical industrial complex is poisoned, and there's so much change that

needs to happen. There's so much reform that we need on every level within the hospital system, with the insurance system, you know, at the legislative level, we need to figure out how to create pipelines for more midwives, more doulas. We have to figure out how to create more access so that underserved communities can have access to midwives and

doulas if that's what they need. And by the way, the other thing that I learned which made me feel energized around this topic because this topic is depressing to a lot of people, and they kind of like lean back, They're like, ooh, I don't really want to talk about that. That's I'm just going to hope for the best with my with my birth. But I think we have to

lean in to this conversation. What helped me lean in was understanding that this is solvable, Like, there are solutions, and there's a stat that was really staggering to me that basically, if you have a midwife or a doula, seventy percent of these deaths could be prevented. Seventy percent of these maternal health black maternal health that could be prevented with the intervention of a midwife and a doula.

Speaker 15

That gives me hope.

Speaker 20

That's like, Okay, well, if that's the way to solve this, let's figure out how we can create a pipeline of more midwives, more doulas. Let's figure out how we can create a system that's that's more of a hybrid model where doctors, doulas and midwives can all coexist peacefully, can work well together. And so that's as you can see, I'm just very fired up about this particular issue because I just think there's nothing more important than keeping mothers alive to raise these children that.

Speaker 15

We are bringing into the world.

Speaker 20

Especially at a time like this where more women are being forced into motherhood before they're ready. If our government has the audacity to force women into parenthood before they are we need to create systems that will keep them alive to raise those children.

Speaker 15

It is as simple as that.

Speaker 20

So I hope next season, I know, bringing it back to the show, I hope next season this is something we can talk about in unpacking.

Speaker 9

Definitely a conversation.

Speaker 25

Yeah.

Speaker 15

Can I just tell you this is the first time I had this conversation with two men.

Speaker 1

Listen, I swear by dudes, you knows right now just because of the experiences.

Speaker 5

That me and my wife have had, the best thing about these conversations. You know, Charlemagne has for daughters with his wife. I have six kids with mom. But more men want to know what's going on before. It's one of those things you go to the hospital tell us when we need to be there, but we want to be a part of it. We want to know what's what affects you, what makes you cry, what hurts, what your concerns are. Because now situation, we can do it together.

It's not just you on your own and same thing with us, with the stuff that we go through. It's not just us on our own and well, thank you so much for joining us and sharing your story.

Speaker 1

Watch the Conversation project on Hulu right now.

Speaker 9

Elaine will to worth.

Speaker 5

Thank you so much.

Speaker 15

Thank you guys.

Speaker 5

It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 9

Good morning.

Speaker 5

More than everybody is j n V charlamagnea guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Laura l Rossa is here, yo yo yo, yeah, let's get to the rules.

Speaker 6

I've been here from. I think a lot of people will recognize the voice in the.

Speaker 5

Name on the Bakfast Club.

Speaker 9

Lauren came in hot.

Speaker 6

So remy My and pet Poofs have been trending for some weeks now, actually for the last few months.

Speaker 23

So.

Speaker 8

There have been rumors circulating that remy Ma cheated allegedly on pet poos with another battle rapper named Easy to Black Captain. So there have been like photos released to them, like out sitting down. They're not like intimate or anything like that, and the photos are the videos. It was also rumored that pet Poofs actually fought the battle rapper back in June because he just got a little bit too comfortable with me.

Speaker 9

Where did this stuff come from? What did these rumors like this come from I'm about.

Speaker 6

To break it all down. So I think those photos, those videos, all that stuff.

Speaker 8

But then there is a video that's going to around right now of Easy to Block Captain and Geechee Gotti, who are two battle rappers getting into it on stage, and they bring up the rumors.

Speaker 6

So let's listen to that.

Speaker 10

And I had six Chrome events.

Speaker 1

Pat Boost was at all of them. How come he ain't at this one? Why we ain't in.

Speaker 3

New York because the last time there your husband punched on him, so you actually brung it to.

Speaker 1

Where he more comfortable.

Speaker 3

As so, if he did decide to show up, this weird oka had an ups on him.

Speaker 1

I hope she wouldn't do that because I love her too much, but it just look away.

Speaker 5

You didn't hear where.

Speaker 1

This is more comfortable.

Speaker 10

So if he do show up, he could have an upson him.

Speaker 9

Now you foul for real?

Speaker 3

I hope that awkwardness in your home, your child don't feel How can you protect the that sod he couldn't protect you.

Speaker 1

It's wow, for real?

Speaker 9

This is a tump.

Speaker 3

You know he ain't got the heart food because you ain't got hands. Ain't even a smart move. But if I was him, I would have been like Verbon hitman, and you would have been the one I talked to like, I don't give a fuck. If you just tell him stops you in the business. If it's found out too, is the help that could really ruin your image. We're talking so Rock and Mussem, Pap and Ram that's us, y'all the post it's how civil for black love?

Speaker 9

What the hell is happening here?

Speaker 8

So basically, I mean, you're in the battle rap arena. They used what's going on in the real world. So these reports have been circulating because there was a photo release that I'm sitting down at a restaurant Remy and the easy to block Captain guy, and then never poured up.

Speaker 6

The whole fight thing happened.

Speaker 8

Now people have been running with this cause y'all know Remy my Pappoo's their relationship. We don't play about them. So people have been really running with this. It's literally been trending all week long like crazy. Remy finally addressed.

Speaker 6

It, are you feeling I'm good?

Speaker 7

I feel good, and I'm like, hold no, hold on, you don't want me to go. Little's back then, so he's up there talking to smack. Then I started out a batter rap years.

Speaker 1

I don't call Kiji on what the pap.

Speaker 7

Tom might not have got his back in different though, literally like I was shooting.

Speaker 3

Actually, now we got to address the elephant in the room, like get you and crazy you know the whole Can we even talk about the whole?

Speaker 1

Easy?

Speaker 3

The fat poots now that heat on talk as much as they talked on the stage.

Speaker 1

The blogs, that's too much the blog that's seeing that. But he was I don't know if you how comfortable or uncomfortable you were with him standing there just saying all of this to you listen? Is that Alroight?

Speaker 9

And I love how Remy handled that.

Speaker 1

And I tell you why because Remy understands nobody cares about the truth when the lives one entertain it. So at this point, it doesn't matter what the actual truth is. If the Internet says it, that's what the Internet is gonna believe. So, you know, Remy, even if she says, you know, not sure, it's not true, they don't want to hear that.

Speaker 5

Yeah, and also shouted, I think it's what it's fifteen seconds of famous that the guy that did that that the interview, he was the one that reported a lot of that stuff right when he had a lot of that footage.

Speaker 9

I assolute to him, I don't know. I've seen it because I was watching it.

Speaker 5

But I will say this, I just seen him, Like I said, we don't like, we don't know what's going on in their relationship. Like you said, who cares a lot of people don't care about the truth and the lives more attaining. But I just seen them what a week ago, two weeks ago at the White House together.

Speaker 8

I don't believe this stuff. I don't believe it. I don't want to. I don't even want to discuss it. But Twitter is going up.

Speaker 9

You definitely want to discuss it. You've got it on your laptop.

Speaker 19

No, I'm not.

Speaker 8

No, Actually, I'm prepared for my next story. The only reason why we have to talk about it is because the world is talking about.

Speaker 1

This is our job.

Speaker 9

The world they talking about it YouTube.

Speaker 6

It's you're not on Twitter, that's true. So you don't know that's factual because they are trending on black Twitter and on Twitter worldwide.

Speaker 5

But I will I will say I do I do love you know, Ram is like a sister up here, and I do love paps, So whatever's going on, I hope everything is okay.

Speaker 9

That's that's what I heard.

Speaker 8

Because we love black Love and I like that herd like the whole battle. I've seen everything that Remy is doing. Right now, people are.

Speaker 6

Saying that this is just for Cloud. I also don't think they need to do this for Cloud.

Speaker 8

But I like the fact that now people are having a conversation about what Remy is doing in the battle right world.

Speaker 6

Because of this, people are starting to we're talking about Chrome twenty three. Yeah, they want to they want to know, like, what's going on?

Speaker 13

What is this?

Speaker 9

Like those some slick balls? You know what I'm saying. I just wasn't Remy deserved that. Now, Imagine what.

Speaker 6

They would she was standing in the middle of the of it too stupid.

Speaker 9

Imagine what they would righte for Ginny Model.

Speaker 6

Did you see you didn't see black Twitter when that happened. The day that on that happened.

Speaker 1

What happened.

Speaker 6

I'm not saying all that he turned happened.

Speaker 5

What happened, you know? But you give him the fan Yeah, he got his own.

Speaker 1

I was over there listen.

Speaker 5

And what people didn't talk about is Remy Ma's evolution old Remy Ma, I thought she was gonna hit him.

Speaker 9

She still be swinging.

Speaker 1

I don't think Remy would have swung in that situation. Evolution for me, Number one, Remy, that's that's her thing, right, that's her. But she understands battle rap and battle rap say anything, no matter. Old Remy would have been slapping stupid today, I don't think she would have. Remy Ma would have looked like Jocelyn and this and that in the battle situation, just not the bat because she understands battle rap and she understands in battle rap. They stayed

in battle like I blow your mama's head off. I tell you, daddy, I stick.

Speaker 6

How about are you taking to my grandma's ass?

Speaker 1

We got a project with your kid, then throw your kid into trash. Then I'll tell your granddaddy kissed my ass.

Speaker 6

I'm not taking you anywhere. I'm not taking you to no battle reps because I'm not fighting for you. Okay, we're gonna We're gonna move on. We're gonna move on.

Speaker 8

So Tory Lanes, you guys know, Tory Lane's sentenced to ten years. So he has now been moved to the prison where he will serve out his sentence for the next ten years. It's North Current State Prison in Delano, California. They house about like four thousand inmates, and reports are sating right now that this is not gonna be no walking the park. I mean, I didn't think it was gonna be, but exactly. But basically they're saying this because

there have been a few recent killings there. So there was a convicted serial killer who recently uh or allegedly killed his cellmate not too long ago. There was also another killing on July fourth, where a guy was found dead in his cell.

Speaker 9

They wouldn't have Toy in general population.

Speaker 5

I might want to be in general population because he was only out an hour a week or something like that.

Speaker 6

So I have no clue. I have no clue whatsoever.

Speaker 9

I just want to know how Torri got the Brazilian wet and wavy human.

Speaker 1

Hand let me wavy, Okay, you got already.

Speaker 6

Listen. His hair is so full right now, man, this is the fullest I've ever seen his hairline.

Speaker 1

Like when you get the hair transplant surgery, can you choose the greater hair you want? Because I know Brazilian wet and wavy when I see it, all right, you only got an entry to it. But come on, this is I'm on.

Speaker 5

All right, well that is your room and report you guys are crazy. Charlamagne leaving that donkey too.

Speaker 1

After the hour. I need Kenneth Petty to come to the front of the congregation or this is a teachable moment for all street niggas out there.

Speaker 5

Let's discuss all right, for get Twitter. Next, it's the breakfast club. Coome morning, the breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Speaker 1

I was born in Donkey.

Speaker 9

It's the donkey of the day.

Speaker 1

Question devil breakfast club? Yeah, donk here today for Thursday, September twenty first goes to Kenneff Petty. Kenneth Petty is the husband of the icon known as Nicki Minaj. But this is not about Nikki, y'all.

Speaker 5

This is us.

Speaker 1

This is about us, okay, as black men, and it's about us not wanting to let the child just ways of the screechs go, y'all?

Speaker 9

Do know right?

Speaker 1

Being a street nigga is not an actual occupation. There's not one single benefit you received by being a street nigga. Okay, there's no four one k. You don't get no health insurance. I have never in my life seen anyone be able to buy a house or any form of property because of street credit. But for some reason, we just continue to see so many people, so many men, who have the opportunity and the access to do other things, crash

out because they still want to be in the street. Now, if you haven't heard, if you wasn't listening to the Rumor Report all week and paying attention to the blogs in the news, and you probably missed Kenneth Petty incriminating himself by making threatening remarks to a specific individual, that individual being the for knowing his offset also known his husband a Cardi B. Now we're gonna play this iigga

ass video clip that went viral this week. In the video, you see Kenneth Petty and his gang outside of a New York hotel allegedly where all Set was residing. But I don't see how Allset was in this hotel when millions of people were watching him live streaming with Kai Sanat. That's like, pronounce his name Ky Sinat right, sounds yeah, Sluta Kay Sanat like that young man. But all Set and Kai had a sleepover in Atlanta. They were live streaming for twenty four hours straight. They was having a

grand old time smoking weed. I saw all set making grilled cheese sandwiches. I think he was making grill cheese. They was dancing, listening to music. They was doing what we all should be doing, and that's experiencing joy, having a good time, being happy. Meanwhile, Kennoth Petty and his crew were doing the total opposite of that. I refuse to believe that standing outside of a hotel in the middle of New York City, mean mugging a camera sending

death threats makes you guys happy. In fact, I actually think you have to be pretty miserable to even project that kind of behavior.

Speaker 9

But let's listen to the video.

Speaker 1

Big Clease sturdy Nigga was spopping money.

Speaker 10

You don't know that said, you don't know big.

Speaker 17

Zoom, vacation, planning your funeral, let's flight.

Speaker 5

What's up?

Speaker 10

They wanted to come at me after the amazement.

Speaker 1

I ain't even We ain't even do nothing to nobody. Man, Yo, Well yeah, guess what right today?

Speaker 6

Well it's not fair, we know niggah Ja.

Speaker 1

I was born in nineteen hundred and seventy eight. I remember a time when if you were doing dirt. It was a cardinal sitting to speak on the phone about said dirt. That was a complete and other. No, No, Kenneth, I know you noticed because we're the same age, forty five, forty five, Magnum Colt Trump whatever, forty five, So I know you know better. Maybe you don't because nowadays these individuals have let the Internet make them forget street rules.

Because if you were still moving by the rules of the street, there will be no way in hell that you would be on the FBI's Internet recording yourself in four K threatening to kill someone. You told that man to plan his funeral on the FBI's in andet and you thought there wouldn't be any consequences and repercussions. Do you know how many people probably sent that video to law enforcement?

Speaker 7

Why?

Speaker 1

Because your high profile?

Speaker 9

You're Nicki Minaja's husband.

Speaker 1

And that's one thing I want to say, Even if you don't respect yourself, respect your queen, respect who she is. You may not care about how this video impacts you, but you should care about how it impacts her.

Speaker 9

But maybe none of y'all care professionally all personally.

Speaker 1

I just know as a husband and father, our job as protect and provide we can't do either one of those things if we tricking ourselves off the street, because that's what this is. When you got on video and you incriminate yourself in this way, you're tricking yourself off the street.

Speaker 9

I don't want to hear none of.

Speaker 1

Y'all street dudes talk about how much y'all hate snitching, because as soon as you are one of your partners pulls out these smartphones and decides to go live and record yourself saying these type of things and doing dirt, you have become an informant and you're telling on yourself. And that's exactly what happened. Because Kenneth Petty has been sentenced to one hundred and twenty days of home detas after violating the terms of his probation because of that video.

I got that right, right, one up to one hundred and twenty two hundred and twenty days. Okay, Well, whatever it is, Kenneth Petty, You've earned every bit of this simply because you cannot let the child just destructive ways of the street go.

Speaker 5

First.

Speaker 1

Corinthians thirteen eleven says, when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child. I thought of the child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things. My brothers. I cannot believe I'm saying this at forty five years old, but there's so many of us who have not left the child. Just waves of the streets alone, and I would love to know what do.

Speaker 9

Y'all know that I don't?

Speaker 1

Okay, the streets have never done anything but let people to two places, jail or the mortuary. And my father always told me that if you don't change your lifestyle, you're gonna end up in jail, dead, or broke, sitting under the tree. Let's update my father's words in twenty twenty three. If you don't change your lifestyle, you're gonna end up in jail, dead, or broke. On somebody's social media page recording yourself committing crimes, and that recording of

you committing crimes will lead you to be in somebody's prison. Kenneth, he was already on probation. What part of law enforcement has social media too? Do you not understand I said this earlier, and I'm serious. You know how they used to do ride alongs with cops. I want to do a sit along with police officers and I want to sit and observe them observing this kind of stuff on social media. There has to be old detectives who can't believe that there are actually individuals.

Speaker 9

Doing their jobs for them.

Speaker 1

Smartphones in the hands of dumb niggas make law enforcements jobs so easy, and I know they be laughing, they ass off at our stupidity.

Speaker 9

I want to see it.

Speaker 1

I want to see old officers telling young officers how easy they got it and they don't even have to do any real detective work, because that is what I know is happening, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. I can't believe I have to say this, but for the record, the screetch of Corny, the screech are lame. We have years and years of data and evidence that shows us that acting like how Kenna Petty is still acting at forty five will do nothing but lead us to jail to death. Who wants that?

Speaker 13

Ken?

Speaker 1

If you are in a privileged position, you married a very successful woman, you have access to resources that nobody you came up with probably got. Okay, the only op you should know at forty five it's opportunity. Okay, you and your family have the opportunity to break every single generational curse that has ever existed in your bloodline. You have the opportunity to actually show the hood a different way.

If you can get dudes to stand out in the middle of New York with you looking for an op, then you can take those same dudes and create some type of business that provides them an opportunity to not make the same mistakes that you have made in your life. Okay, my brothers, I don't know how many ways to tell you there is nothing to be gained from the streets. There is nothing to be gained from being hard, being tough,

and when you know better, you do better. And we all have to know better because we have too many examples that show us where those streets lead. So I'll leave you with this, Kenneth and not just kennef all you street dudes. Smart people learn from their own mistakes. Whise people learn from the mistakes of others. Dumb niggas never learn at all. Which one do you choose to be? Let's all do better, black men, because I'm tired of this. Please let remy ma give Kenneth Petty the biggest he huh.

Speaker 5

Hee ha, you stupid mother?

Speaker 1

Are you dumb?

Speaker 9

All right?

Speaker 13

Oh?

Speaker 9

Did I say nigga too much?

Speaker 7

No? You did?

Speaker 9

One or two is good? But he did like seven eight, tell bat piece and then we'll balance it up.

Speaker 5

No boy being team.

Speaker 9

We'll see how them all peace? How you want to balance this out? Talk about white people?

Speaker 5

That's good.

Speaker 1

So what you want to do? I thought you had something over?

Speaker 5

I mean we did, but you you we want to go white relationship, relationship relationship min Mo may.

Speaker 9

Tell you about the love the love plane.

Speaker 1

I don't want to love.

Speaker 6

We're talking about the They're gonna be a great thing Vegas buzz buzzmans.

Speaker 5

Speaker 6

That's like forget your anniversary.

Speaker 5

Right, you're right right with bro mance somewhere about i'llell you about it, lady and the love plane. Just keep that in your mind, all right. Now, let's talk about Love is Blind.

Speaker 8

Yes, so two Love is Blind stars are now separated, and this is insane. So Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas separated. Jackie posted this story and basically said in the video that she was asked by Josh to not speak to a certain ex. She didn't understand why that was necessary. Like, we're together, we're in love, we're making plans for a future.

Speaker 1

What you got to be talking to your ex about? Y'all got kids.

Speaker 6

Together, listen, I don't know.

Speaker 8

She didn't go into detail about what the conversation was about, but she did say that Josh should asks her to not speak to this ex because if you.

Speaker 1

Only got no business what you're talking about.

Speaker 9

But let's let's open up the phone lines.

Speaker 8

Let's because she decided to do it and he broke up with her, and she says she's back from the to come back and everything, and they were making plans for the future together.

Speaker 5

So eight hundred five one five to one is talking to your ex disrespectful relationship?

Speaker 9

Should you talk about it? And if you do, what does that mean? Terms of breakup?

Speaker 5

Let's discuss.

Speaker 1

Need to hear more about this king when we come back, all right, we'll talk about it. Eight hundred and five eight five one.

Speaker 9

Oh five one.

Speaker 5

Let's discuss. It's breakfast club.

Speaker 26

Good morning the breakfast Club. It's topic time called eight hundred five five five one to join into the discussion.

Speaker 9

With the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1

Talk about it.

Speaker 5

Holding everybody in j n V. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1

Laura L.

Speaker 5

Rosa is our guest host today and we were talking love is Blonde.

Speaker 8

Now what we were discussing, So we're talking about the fact that two lovers blond stars recently broke up, Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas. I don't know if I'm saying this last name right, but they broke up because Jackie went and had a sit down conversation with Josh's ex fiance about what her name is, Monica Rodriguez, and on the show, basically they had a really bad like breakup, like they were supposed to get burried.

Speaker 6

It didn't happen. It was just it was just not good.

Speaker 8

Now she wanted to sit down with her to talk about it, and of course he felt uncomfortable about that and he taught her not to do it.

Speaker 6

She did it anyway, so he said, I'm good.

Speaker 1

You know what's interesting, that's actually not a bad idea for relationships.

Speaker 9

Yeah, because it's like it's like a reference, right, Like if you.

Speaker 1

About to hire somebody for a job, you're gonna go talk to their previous employee.

Speaker 5

I mean to see what didn't work, what was wrong? Did she didn't smell like what's the problem?

Speaker 9

But for him is foul?

Speaker 23

No.

Speaker 8

I feel like because you're different and you're different with different people, Like what happened in their relationship and their engagement and why it didn't go forward might not happen in this one. So it's kind of like now you got these preconceived notions of like what may or may not happen because of what already, like what I went through in the past.

Speaker 6

When if you're dealing with me, she don't owe you anything.

Speaker 5

But think about this. Say you're dating somebody and you got a chance to talk to this act and you found out that he was a cheetah or a skill or an.

Speaker 6

Abusive wouldn't want to you know why?

Speaker 8

Because now I'm going into that relationship like, well he's on the last one.

Speaker 5

If he was the last, maybe maybe that's that you look at and you don't have to deal with your hurt and the thing that he's gonna Can you pick.

Speaker 8

Up on certain red flags without having to know anything about it X That's why, honestly, like when people go and move to different states and go to college and meet people that's not where from where they're from.

Speaker 6

They enjoy it because you have no ties to any of the baggage, Like, why would you want that? If you happy to be happy?

Speaker 5

If I had an opportunity to talk to Charlaman's previous employer, right, and he would tell me how he flirts with his other coworkers, that you know, he likes to hug him from the back, and I would have known that before.

Speaker 9

I don't know if i'd work.

Speaker 1

First of all, that's never happened, and is projecting and he's talking about the things that he likes to do with me.

Speaker 9

Okay, that's never happened.

Speaker 1

But what I will say about this situation, all I really do here is a king who set a boundary, right, this woman didn't respect his boundary, and since she couldn't respect his boundary, he bounced.

Speaker 9

And my therapist would tell me to do the same thing to people.

Speaker 1

If you set a boundary and that person does not want to respect your boundary, you leave my boundary.

Speaker 9

I don't want you talking to my ex.

Speaker 6

I just hope you as a hide and something that and that's why he don't want to talking to the X he.

Speaker 9

Could he could know, and doesn't want to badmouth the X.

Speaker 1

He could know. Maybe the exes bitter.

Speaker 6

But that's what I'm saying too.

Speaker 8

On the other side of it, that's how I'm looking at it, like, I wouldn't want to go talk to your ex because if it didn't work out with y'all and it's not one hundred percent plus like a good vibe, that's just gonna put a bad taste to my mind.

Speaker 9

That's real.

Speaker 1

I want that.

Speaker 6

I want the repisido and all the red flags in the beginning. Jesus Christ, if you're happy to be.

Speaker 2

After three times Lobos Lobos, Yes, shout out to the logo scene, all right, if Lebron's right, Yes, So what's the question with asking if you had an X and you said to your new person, I don't want you communicating with that ex that excess reached out, I wanted to sit down, have a conversation clearer, err, especially if there's no kids involved, would you allow your new significant other to sit down with your ex?

Speaker 5

That is the question. We're gonna We're gonna take some calls when we come back.

Speaker 9

Now that we clear it up.

Speaker 5

Eight hundred and five eight five one five one us up right now, it's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 27

Go one, call me your opinions to the Breakfast Club top Come on eight hundred five five one morning.

Speaker 5

Everybody's DJ n V. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Rose is here and if you're just joining us, we're talking about Love is Blind? What happened with Love is Blind? Let's break it down.

Speaker 6

So love is Blind. There is a couple.

Speaker 8

So there's Jackie and there's Josh, and they recently broke up because Jackie decided that she wanted to go and have a conversation with Josh's ex fiance.

Speaker 6

Who he was going to marry on the show but didn't art.

Speaker 8

It didn't happen, of course, because he ended up with Jackie and he asked her to she decided gonna do it anyway, and he said, nope, I'm good.

Speaker 9

So the question is eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

Speaker 5

How would you feel if your girl talked to your ex? That's the question that we're asking. You have somebody online six that actually watches the show Courtney. You watched the show Courtney, I agree, and what's your thoughts?

Speaker 12

Gordon I believe that Jackie should have left Joshua from alone from the beginning because he was a hot mess during the pod you know, part of their show. He was very childish. And I believe the ex that she's referring to in his ex who was actually her friend at one point on the reunion, if it's the same girl that they're talking about, I think she was trying to tell her like jo, I don't even know why you bothered the childish And I agree she should have

accepted the proposal Manica. Okay, yeah, I don't think she should have accepted the proposal from the original person. She did, but she shouldn't have tried to get into a relationship with old boy.

Speaker 5

Okay, Hello, who's this?

Speaker 19

Are you doing?

Speaker 7

This? Is Pedro?

Speaker 28

Like that?

Speaker 13

What up?

Speaker 19

What up?

Speaker 21

What up? In New York?

Speaker 7

Now?

Speaker 9

How do you know you paid herself?

Speaker 5

Like Pedro?

Speaker 1

You black?

Speaker 13

Now?

Speaker 25

I'm Puerto Rican?

Speaker 5

And Trinity Daddian, well trinid Daddyan all right, payde come on, what's.

Speaker 25

My thoughts right now? Let's see, I've been married for fourteen years, you know, and the thing that I could tell you know, I would never let my wife, you know, speak to a act. You know, I have custody of my first son. Now you know, he's nineteen, and I don't even speak to his mother. You know, I should have disrespectful, you know, you know.

Speaker 1

You know, I guess you're talking about he's over eighteen.

Speaker 9

I guess y'a don't really got to communicate like y'all probably did right.

Speaker 25

Now, Well, we didn't communicate when he was young either. You know, I toubtly disrespectful.

Speaker 23

You know.

Speaker 25

If I'm talking to her about certain things that I'm not talking to my wife about, you know that's wrong. You know, I just sure that's wrong. You know, especially if you're having a dinner, you know, a private dinner and all that talking about things, you know, and if you don't respect what I'm saying about, you know, not talking to him, that means that you don't respect our marriage or our relationship.

Speaker 8

So you're raising your son down with your new wife, right What if his mom reached out and said, hey, I want to sit down and have a conversation with her because I just want to I don't know this, figure out where she's coming from and how she's raising my son or just anything.

Speaker 6

Would you allow them to to sit down oh yeah, of.

Speaker 25

Course, you know what I'm saying, but it has to be I think the communication between both of us, not just me. You know, my wife is part of me, so that's my circle. So if you want part of me, you gotta have to hold circle too.

Speaker 1

All I hear is people are having grown people having conversations, grown people setting boundaries. You either respect people's boundaries or you don't. You know what I'm that situation. I don't have a problem with the baby.

Speaker 5

I don't have a problem talking about the baby, but our relationship because, like you said, if you talk to my ex, my ex might be lying, My ex might still want me back, my ex might be putting things in your mind that's going to hurt our relationship and not actually help.

Speaker 9

So I would have a problem that.

Speaker 1

See.

Speaker 6

I felt like that in the beginning.

Speaker 8

And I don't watch Love is Blind, but I know that this is a big couple from the show because when she when Jackie did the TikTok video, I saw the reports everywhere. What is giving to me is like Monica reached out on some like girl, forget what we went through.

Speaker 6

I just really want you.

Speaker 8

I don't want to see you go through that and there might be some stuff that he might need to get it get together, and he don't want that. He wants her to be able to just you know, saw butterflies, the lies in the beginning. He wants to keep it there.

Speaker 1

Oh so they was cool to two girls.

Speaker 6

I don't watch the show. That's what the caller said.

Speaker 8

I don't know, but it just seems like if I know, I do know from what I read that they're like, whatever happened and the reason why they didn't get married, it was a little bit messy. Right, So if that is the case and then they sit down, maybe it's not bitterness. What if she's just like, I'm trying to

pull homegirl up like I want to whatever. I still don't know if I would go down and go and have that sit down, because if I made my decision, especially if we're all on the same show or I've seen it, I know what I'm walking into.

Speaker 9

Right, all Right, Well, what's the morrow of the story. If there's a moro.

Speaker 8

Put people on the block listess, then they can't call you, You can't have a conversation with somebody they black by.

Speaker 1

The way, that's a boundary, right, So what if that if that person gets another phone and calls you after they know you block them.

Speaker 8

If you get boundaries, that is a crazy ex If she writes you on cash at to sit down and talk to you about your man after she didn't block you, I probably would have that conversation because something going on her. She had to go all the way to cash tell me something. Yeah, I want to I want to hear that. That's the crazyest.

Speaker 5

It's a body in the basement somewhere. All right, Well, we got rumors on the way. What we talk about in the rumors, So.

Speaker 8

Coming up next to the rumors, we were going to be talking about Tim's and why the internet thinks she's pregnant by future.

Speaker 9

Okay, what right, we'll get to that nexus the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5

Morning, Everybody, It's d J n V Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Laura Rosa is here, Yes, and let's get to the rumas. I think a lot of people.

Speaker 6

Will recognize the voice from the name on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 9

Lauren came in hot, you know.

Speaker 8

So we're kicking off this set of rumors with a Brown Girl Grinding exclusive. So we dropped the podcast Brown Girgrinding Laura l Rosa, you can get it everywhere. I heard Apple, Spotify, all that good stuff. But I sat down with Stephanie Dunnovan. She is the VP of Branded Content and Video at Essence. So Essence Magazine has this

series on own. It's called The Time of Essence. This series is so fire, y'all, Like it takes you from the seventies to today, and it breaks each episode of the series down into like different decades, and there's people from that decade that help shape the magazine and create it. And they just talk about like all of the history and like just how Essence and like black media was

like just thriving and just doing all this stuff. They talked about the Vanessa Williams time when they stood behind her with the cover, just all these things, and I'm like to hear all of this and know that people don't regard Essence in the way they should.

Speaker 6

It breaks my heart a little bit. I feel like the time's changing a little bit.

Speaker 8

But I asked Stephanie, hey, after watching this series, I feel like I need to correct people a little bit about Essence magazines and the ebonizes and everything that you guys, how y'all held us down, we wouldn't have a Shaveroom, wouldn't have a Hollywood and Live, we wouldn't have a

lot of this media. Right, But do you feel like, cause celebrities drive the culture, we're in the Shaveroom comments because the celebrities are there, things like that, Essence doesn't really get a lot of that love from a lot of the celebrities. It's changing, but it's not as big as it should be. Do you feel like I feel? Do you agree with that? So this is what Stephanie said.

Speaker 28

It's twofold, right. I know that there is an outcry, especially when we're covering red carpets. Right, there was a whole movement that Jason Lee started from Hollywood Unlocked of like, people, are black celebrities not prioritizing Essence or black owned media when they're on the red carpets and they're like b lining to People magazine or the other magazines because of the reach that they might have where these are the outlets that were supporting them whether they were hot or not.

Speaker 10

So that's one side of it.

Speaker 28

But then there's also the side when we made the call to action for celebrities to come to the table to tell this story. There was no shortage of people that jumped at it, like we have Holly Berry, we have Shaerylye Routh, we have Oprah, we have Whoopee, like just Sunny Haustin, such great names that came out and jumped at the chance to help tell the story and the legacy of this.

Speaker 1

I think Essence and Well first of all, Sleuth, the Essence, Ebony and Jet drop on the clues bonds for all three of them.

Speaker 9

Yeah, absolutely right. They paved the way for everything that we see now.

Speaker 1

But I think they're known for being print publications, and I think that they may have still been holding on to being print publications when the digital publications was rising, and I think a lot of these digital platforms just became what people go to now. That's also it's like Essence and Ebony and Jet if they're still they're trying to get in the digital game now, they trying to catch up.

Speaker 6

You know, I'm not The reason why, I as said, is like so before I told you guys about the serious had you heard about it?

Speaker 7

No?

Speaker 8

No, when I say it is so good, like I everybody needs to go watch this. It will change your mind about the power that media has that we haven't. Like I just was like, why don't more people know about this?

Speaker 1

I think that's what's supposed to be happening, right, Like you you need the platforms of today to pay homage to the platforms that came before them, you know, like the Essences that everybodies, the jets. You got to do documentaries and stuff on these publications to let folks know what was.

Speaker 5

But you but you said it right. It's times have changed, so a lot of people go to news in different places. Like you know, a lot of younger individuals don't know what Essence is or don't know what magazine is or Ebony magazine is because they go online and they follow the shade rooms, the ball of alerts, the high win locks, and that's their publication. Same thing with the older generation like my mom and dad. It's just getting in the Netflix the last couple of years.

Speaker 9

But what was that thing?

Speaker 5

Blockbuster because that's what they were on.

Speaker 6

You know, right, Well, yeah, make sure you guys go check out that.

Speaker 5

I would love to see that.

Speaker 6

It's called The Time of Essence on own. You can watch all the episodes.

Speaker 8

You could binge watch it if you want to hear our interview go and subscribe and download and rate the podcast Broncar Grinded with Lona Rosa. The visual of that interview will be dropping later today, but make sure you go check out the audio right now.

Speaker 1

I can't think of too many print publications that transition to digital and then people started following digital.

Speaker 9

I can think of one. Whats that what. I don't want to say it because they're not black, but I.

Speaker 6

Can because if they're not black and don't count were talking about because.

Speaker 9

Even like Source Magazine, like Source Magazine is not one that went that.

Speaker 5

People Magazine did a good job. People Magazine did a transition digit Double x Cell didn't get pretty good too with the Double XL discussion. They did good. Double Health didre good.

Speaker 8

Because if you think about Source all hip hop, like some of the other hip hop.

Speaker 5

Related hip hop DX so didn't do that well.

Speaker 6

No they didn't.

Speaker 8

Double x does a really good job of st Yeah, but like they kind of to me, they fall in that like era of like you might not know them if you're not from a certain time, like you know what I mean, Like, no, you don't just know of them unless you are reading certain things or care about certain things are from a certain generation that cared about them.

Speaker 9

You're right, and I'll tell you another thing.

Speaker 1

A lot of those dot coms, you know, making the transition to the social media pages because.

Speaker 9

Most of that stuff is Instagram now correct, you're.

Speaker 6

Talking with social takes over.

Speaker 8

So, speaking of speaking of social media right now, there is a rumor that is going around that Tims is allegedly pregnant by Future. This all started from TikTok. Y'all, there is no like, I'm seeing, no confirmed reports anything like that. This started from a TikTok video and fans just went wild with it, which is.

Speaker 6

Insane to me.

Speaker 1

This is this is why the essences and he's in the jets and all the other publications. The people can't keep up.

Speaker 9

No, they can't keep up.

Speaker 5

By the time they print that story, it's we are on to another story.

Speaker 1

They probably not go printed because it's not real. But tak care and social media don't care anything. I want to know though, like why.

Speaker 8

Do women just get like pitted with these men like not no shape the future, but it's like why, like how did that even come about?

Speaker 6

Just because they did a song together?

Speaker 9

No clue, you told me that's what you wanted. You told me you wanted to be paid with somebody.

Speaker 8

I can tell y'all want to be here. That's the problem with men in the world and women, especially black women. Y'all want to y'all want to figure things out. Let us figure it out.

Speaker 6

I didn't tell you that that I.

Speaker 9

Want to be seen with somebody and I wanted to.

Speaker 6

Be he is lying. I did not say that that.

Speaker 1

I did not say.

Speaker 8
