And then yesterday she had the one shoulder out and it was just that one shoulder ashy.

It ain't Nobody said nothing all day.

And look, even even Curry watched it was like, oh you got the little shoulder around.

She noticed it. That's what she wanted to she wanted to say something about it. Listen.

I did a date night last night, being the wife went out. I went to go see uh, Stranger Things on Broadway. They all watch s Grange of Things on Netflix.

I used to watch it.

I used to watch Change the Man.

That is the greatest stage play production I've ever seen in my life. I'm just talking about the production aspect of it. They did things on that stage I didn't think you could do really yes, like like falling out the sky in slow motion, like monsters coming from the.

Ceiling, like a production.

Oh my god, the stage play production was incredible, dropping the clues bombs to us.

Scranging Things on Brodway. They only been doing it for two weeks.

I meant to see that.

Yes, yesterday was a Rachel Rachel Edwards a born day. That's a good friend of mine. So we went to go see Scranging Things with my wife and oldes daughter loves Scranging Things. But if you are ever in New York City, even if you're not a fan of Broadway, even if you've never even seen the Scrange of Things play, that is something that I mean, the Strange Things show.

That is something to go watch.

Yes, I cannot be a fan of Broadway, like people don't like I love.

Yeah, Well it used to, it.

Got it got like really entertaining for the youth over the years. At first, Broadway used to be really boring in my opinion, And then when I saw when I got like to be a teenager and I saw.

Wicked for the first time, then I was like I like this.

But I think I was just going to see the most boring things because we used to go to field trips.

Go on field trip.

What's the first thing you remember seeing? You know?

No, it was like a little slave.

Place, you see that.

I never.

Was in it at the time too.

Yeah, I want to go see something about some slaves.

Yes, more Dangerous Morning Show, The Emphis Club, Charlamagne Tha God, just hilarious.

Dj nvy is out, what lay and Lerosa is in and it's time for front page news.

What's up?

Morgan?

Tell y'all, Hey, how y'all feeling happy?

Thursday?

Girl?

Plu's black and Holly favored. What's happening all right, y'all?

So first up on front page, President Trump says, historically, black colleges and universities should not be worried about federal spending cuts. Y'all know, I had to get into the HBCU news right. So Trump called into a News Nation town hall event hosted by Chris Cuomo and moderated via Bill O'Reilly and Stephen A.

Smith last night.

When asked if HBCUs should be concerned about their funding considering all of the funding and rollbacks that the Trump administration is doing, Trump said he took care of the HBCUs and black colleges and that he got them more money than they ever dreamt possible.

Let's take a listen to those comments.

They were going out of business. They came to me about fifty people that headed up, and they came to me the first year, and I took care of them. I got them more money than they ever dreamt possible.

And they're in great shape.

Now when they have long term financing. Nobody did that for Donald Trump.

So under the Trump administration in his first term, he did sign a bipartisan bill in twenty nineteen that permanently provides more than two hundred and fifty million a year to the nation's historically black colleges and universities. If you were to, I guess sum that up over the course of four years, but again it was just twenty nineteen. If you were to sum that up over the course of four years, that would equate to one billion dollars.

Now last week, well.

If combined combined, there's actually more than seventeen billion in federal investments from the Biden Paris administration.

That's right, that's right, that's right over the Yes, that's correct.

And then of course last week Trump signed an executive order that will ensure or HBCUs get the maximum funding they're entitled to. Now, Trump said during the town hall that they have a long term financing, and that of course nobody else did it but him. Now, Lauren, you went to a HBCU delta card. You shout out to the hornets. So what do you think of all of what he is saying.

I don't know how much of what is true, but I just know whoever's in the president draw office should make sure that the funding is going because if it wasn't for federal funding, I would not have graduated from college at all. So it's very important and that's all I know. They need the money a lot.

Of it too.

Absolutely, it should be a ticket.

Like it should be.

If you don't fund HBCUs, we don't support you like it is a big ticket.

You're not gonna get no push back from me. You know, you see Donald Trump supporting HBCU. The only thing I would say is we want more. But you know me who wouldn't yep.

Period period.

So Trump addressed recent polling on his approval rating as saying they were fake polls where Democrats were interviewed. Yeah, he said democrat. More Democrats were interviewed than GOP members. When asked about making a deal with Tryina, Trump said, there is a very good chance, but there will be, but it will be on the terms of the US and of course he shrugged off concerns about the economy and concerns that his policies only benefit the wealthy.

Trump said, he knows what he.

Is doing is perfectly and that is perfect, and essentially that his economic approach will be better for the middle class.

Well, you can't, well you can't.

You can't lie to people because people are gonna feel it in their pockets regardless. So you know, you can get on television and you know, say that, but if people don't feel it in their pockets, they gonna they're gonna push back. And when people say, you know, when people are losing jobs, when people can't afford to pay their bills or they can't afford to put food on their table, they will push back.

So you can you can't lie to them about that because they feel it.

Right And speaking of which, the numbers don't lie. So the new reports have the US economy heading into uncertain waters this summer, as you have been saying, Charlotta Magne, the gross domestic product or GDP, which some of the value of goods and services produce, fell three point fell three percent over las last year. Growth had originally been predicted by economists, but outlooks were revised to negative thanks

And Trump said that this isn't his GDP, this is Biden's GDP.

He did, that's not true.

That's okay, you about this quarterly.

That's right.

You are the president of the United States of America.

The tariffs and other things you have implemented directly have impacted America's GDP. You got to own that, you know what I mean. You can't keep pointing to blame with other people. You are the person that is governing right now.

This is you.

Clock is CpG.

You know how your grandmom be telling you, like keep money in the mattress and keep guessing your card. What you're supposed to do right now in preparation for the recession, Like what's the.

That's a good stay kit?

I was I was thinking about, you know, just you know, stocking up on things that you would probably need. But the reality of the situation is you probably can't afford to stock up on things you actually need, Like if you know that there's gonna be a recession this summer, so you say, hey, you know what, let me stock up on you know.

Let's just say toothpaste.

You might can't afford to buy three four months of two pastes just in case.

So I don't know. I'm not an e commiss you do know we on people can see.

You, right, yeah, makeup real quick? All right, yeah, I mean I'm in the conversation. We're here.

Yeah, okay, all right, y'all. That's your front page news for six am.

Stick around at seven we will talk about Vice President Kamala Harris. She had her first speech out since losing her bid to the White House.

This is rookie from New Jersey.

Peace Peace.

I want to say good morning to jest and laurd.

You, Charlotte, thank you, we love you too.

I wanted to I wanted to get off my chest. I've seen an orange man on TV last night. He came across my screen and the way he was sitting there a line and talking about everything.

Is on by it.

Nah, he can't he got to hold this when he is the President of the United States of America. When Joe Biden left office, the GDP was actually pretty good, and you know, because of a lot of the things that Trump is implemented over the first hundred days, it is not anymore.

So he got he own that he.

Don't hold nothing. He lied about everything. You know what they want to overtalk everybody.

You know what's interesting, Uh, you know, we can't act like any of these tariffs and stuff. Was a surprise because he said he was going to do this, and him and Elon must they all said there was going to be a period of economic pain that everybody was going to have to go through. I would rather than just keep saying that as opposed to you know, now trying to put the blame on on Biden.

That's weird exactly.

And he needs to bring that manhole from out Salvador and bring him home to his family. He knew he was wrong what he did. If they did that to his family, he be betting over backwards and stuttering over his words, trying to get a family hole.

I thought they was trying to bring him.

They not.

He said he wasn't doing it.

And if he told them, he said, he told them he's not bringing that manhole. He could make a pole call that.

He's wanted to, but he's a lot of course, he can all right, well you got it you good, I got it. Make sure you got it all out. Thank you guys, wee you too, Thank you for calling. All right, that's get it off your chests. We do that every morning.

Man.

Anytime you want to vent, you can call up here and do that. Anytime you want to call up here and tell us why you blessed, you can do that too, every morning on The Breakfast Club. Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up next.

We do so Lisa Hill and Mary J. Blige, the five million dollar lawsuit.

Oh lord, they're still going at I talk to me, is still going at Mary.

Don't give a damn dish.

Mary's team has not responded to me, but I did talk to me yesterday and she she watched the segment that we did and she wanted to clear.

Up some things.

Okay, So we're gonna get into that first thing in the latest.

All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the world's most dangerous morning to show, The Breakfast.

Club, The Breakfast Club.

Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne to God, just hilarious, envious out what Lauren Leroe says, and it is time for the ladies with Lauren lawn.

Be coming a straight fast?

Did she gets them to somebody that knows somebody detail.

I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.

She'd be having the latest on.

The latest with Lauren la Rosa.

Sometimes you have sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything.

It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

Talk to me, all right, y'all.

So I told you that he was going to get something straight when it came to this, me to hill In, Mary J. Blige, five million dollar LOSSU Ravado?

All right?

So I spoke to me to hill In and she wanted to make clear Charlemagne. You would ask some questions about why five million dollars? And is Vado even making that?

No?

What I said, was he ever? I said?

Has he ever made that for camra On when he was signed the camera on? Did he ever make that for Calid when he was signed with cald What? What made them project five million dollars for? All right?

Well, before y'all get to that, I didn't want to say anything yesterday because everybody knew who this name was.

But who is Vado?

Because I thought y'all was mistaken Vito's name Forravado. Vito was a singer. Don't play with him, put some respect on it.

But Noo is really a good singer. Yeah, like you going viral online, I know that's time. I love you the singer and Yo, he gonna tank R and B money album and on it.

You would enjoy him. But when is a rapper from New York, you.

Should have pulled some of his old records.

Because I didn't know that Merji bliche had artists, and I didn't know you that I'll get you a battle song, Okay, you could listen to.

Actually he has one with Mary J. Blige, which is we're gonna talk about it, Okay, okay. So according to Misa Hill, and she says, when you calculated numbers, Botto was writing for two Mary J. Blige albums as well as two tours that he was promised that he was going to go on with her that are now not happening allegedly.

So Mysa says Mary J.

Blige removed all of this allegedly and the number the five million dollars is not for her from them in anticipating album sales and it's not because they were supporting her label. It's because he's a super creative writer, vocal producer and ghostwriter. And the song, for instance, that he has with Mary J. Blige to Still Believe in The Still Believe In Love song went ten weeks number one

To the side.

I appreciate all that information, but I still don't answer my questions. Did he ever make five million dollars the Cameron? Do you have to make five million dollars with Calum? What made him think he could make five million dollars?

Now?

I do agree that if he is stuck in a contract, that he shouldn't be in anymore, and Mary is the reason for that.

To marriage she let him out the contract that I agree with.

Yes, and you know me so also wanted to make it clear that her and Mary J. Blige and their friendship of over thirty years that not end or fall out or wherever it is right now because of Vado, and she did not follow this lawsuit just because she's upset that they're no longer friends. To Charlemagne's point, it was about the business, and it was about the contract

So you know that she just wanted to clear it.

Saying, it's no permanent friends and enemies when it comes to business, But what.

If you are already friends.

It's easy to say that when people you're not really dealing with, when you're actually friends with a person.

Is it, Yeah, it definitely can mess up. It's difficult relationships. It's definitely difficult.

I prefer not to do business with friends with a friend, yeah, And if I do do it, I'd rather be like stand off, like maybe I'm just like I don't know something, because it gets a little tricky. But she also wanted to clarify the timeline on when they fell out. She says that she said, it's been a year that they have not spoken, and again she doesn't really know the exact reason why, but there's a ton of different things

Of her own.

What's trying to relax.

It's so much going on, and I didn't realize that she would talk directly to me while all this is happening, peopuld be listening.

I think she just wants to clear things up because even though you.

Realize that they weren't they literally set on the panel together. But you know what, we don't know what's happening, right. That's just another example you don't know what people are really going through behind closed doors.

Because I swear like it seemed.

Like everything was fine, Like they were in the same rooms, we were behind stage together, and no, Mary not supposed to be like, oh I don't like that bitch, and you know me isposed don't like you know it wasn't given that energy. And these are two women that know how to govern themselves with or without drama, you know.

But I tell you who don't give a damn about none of this Mary Jane.

Okay, you do that video that you sent me yesterday with Mary and.

Just like sing the damn songs I can get about here. If you think Mary care about any of this.

Crazy Ryan got nothing from the side I've been trying, y'all, is Jane.

No, I don't think that's what I said.

Yeah, yeah, let's see with that Jay Sam. I can't believe we don't know the sh Yeah, I know. I never thought about it.

Oh no, I never heard nobody ask that before. What is the j because you know how weezy f he always he changed the FS for something different every song. Mary Jane so perfect.

I like that.

Yeah, that is the update there. But yeah, the lawsuit is still ongoing. But she didn't want to clear up those few things. Basically, she says, stop playing with you know, artists and creative charlagage because you don't know what's in their pockets.

I know it's not, but that's why I'm asking the question.

But you know what, you know what That's why the bottom Did the guy say anything yet? No, this is nothing personal. The bottle Bittle has always been a cool, solid individual. I'm just from business perspective. When I'm thinking about the business, I think about Cam, I think about Caln.

Did he ever make Cam five million dollars? Did he ever make Callum five million dollars?

So?

What would you know make them feel like? What would why would they project that he could make them?

For me?

I'm just asking, That's why I'm asking asking questions.

Well, do we have a song, because I'm going to identify bottle Mary J.

Blige song that bottle is on.

I may have heard it.

You hear something you don't even know. You don't put the name to the face.

And that's why it sucks to be an artist.

You've been mentioning a bottle for the last three days, but not one goddamn record.

Play yeah, and they hae no record?

I know.

Let me see you. Well, we don't have nothing.

Just sitting here.

I didn't mean to do that. Shuts me out. You want me to scratch scratch too?

I just sitting here.

Come on, get with it.

We got front page news coming up next with Morgan Wood just the Breakfast Club.

You're checking out the breakfast Club.

Yes, it's the world's most dangerous Morning to show the Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne the God just hilarious.

Dj Ndia is out with Lauren le Roe says, and and it's time for front page news with Morgan Woods. Morgan, what's happening? Can I do two NBA playoff scores first?

Morgan? Okay, that's last night.

The Rockets beat the Warriors one thirty one to one sixteen and the Los Angeles Lakers Timberwolves in five. Okay, the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. Yesterday Lebron James and Lucas sitting they ass at home, and I'm laughing my ass off because I don't know if this.

Was real or now.

But there was a picture of Ronnie James and he posted missing the beach, and Anthony Edwards Leftacama and said, I'm about to I'm gonna send you and your daddy home there early he did Timberwolves in five.

Okay, that is out. Well, we got Morgan all right, y'all.

So former Vice President Kamala Harris is criticizing President Trump's tariff policies. In her first major public remarks since leaving the White House now, Harris delivered a keynote address at a gala for Emerged America in San Francisco, California, yesterday, where she said people are describing the recent months as absolute chaos. She spoke about current leadership, the current administration, and said that the country belongs to we the people,

The American people deserve leaders who make their lives better and make our country stronger. But sadly, we have seen quite the opposite over these past few months.

This country is ours.

It doesn't belong to whoever.

Is in the White House.

It belongs to you, It belongs to us, It belongs to we the people.

She's absolutely right, absolutely right. But when the media doesn't care, they don't care. Because I wasn't home yesterday, so I didn't see any cable news. But was that speech ad anywhere? I think, I don't believe that I see it on social media.

I see it on cable news.

Her first bee since I was like, oh, what did.

I remember you telling us it was gonna happen. Morgan, Yeah, no, no it was not.

It was not televised, but so yeah, I did have to go looking for it. So what you're saying is that that's something that more people should have saw, more people should have heard when the.

Media don't care, they don't care because I did not see that speech nowhere, and it sounded like it was a good speech.

I'm gonna watch it in full later.

So yeah, the former VP, she did say that the tariffs that Trump has imposed are clearly inviting a recession, referring to what she now calls the greatest man made economic crisis in modern presidential history. Now elsewhere or meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, yesterday I was out there. Democratic lawmakers gathered for remarks on the steps of the US Capitol for an event that marked Trump's one hundred days of what they call chaos.

Now.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke alongside House Minority Leader King Jeffries. Georgia Senator Rafael Warnock, Delaware Senator Lisa Rochester, and others also spoke. Let's take a listen to Georgia Senator Rafael Warnock's comments.

This is the worst first one hundred days that this country is seen in a very very long time. And so know that as we fight on the inside, we need you to fight on the outside, and we will prove once again that this is the United States of America. And at the end of the day, it's the people who have the last word.

Yeah.

So, Delaware Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is only one of two black senators, Okay, real quick, just you know, plugs that real quick in the Senate.

And the other one is here in Maryland. Hey, hey, also Brooks.

So Lisa, Delaware Senator Lisa bent Rochester said that she has a message for Republicans across the aisle, and here's what she had to say in her comments on the steps.

When I first came in, the word was unprecedented.

But now the words are uncertain, chaotic, confused, and corrupt.

Those are the words. And so to our colleagues on.

The other side of the aisle, I say, on this one hundred and first day, there is an adage the truth shall set you free, the truth shall shut you free.

Yeah, so what do you guys think the first one hundred days? It seems like the country is still divided more divided than ever. And is it more of the same as you're seeing from Dems or do you actually see that there is some there is some galvanizing, there's some fight there.

What do you think, Chug May No, I.

Still don't see no galvanizing and I still don't see no fight. But the reality also is, man, you know, we don't have time for division. And the reason we don't have time for division right now is because this is America. Regardless of who's in the White House, everything that's happening, Uh, you know, everything that's happening in regard to this administration is going to impact all American people. When the shelves are empty, it don't matter if you

Everybody is going to suffer. So you know, y'all can sit there and keep you.

No pointing the finger and saying, oh are you Democrat Republican? But at the end of the day, if everybody broke, that's going that's what's really gonna matter.

You know who kind of just said that about one hundred days Nelly what Nelly said. He just said he looking at the glasses half full. He's trying to stay positive.

So it's kind of I don't even know why you bought Nelly into the conversation.

Because I saw it this morning and I was like, it's luten.

Nelly, But I have no idea because he has no idea what Nelly was on Fox News.

He gave a comment to Fox News and he said he's looking at the glasses half fool because that's the type of guy he is, and he's staying positive.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, you really don't have no choice. You really don't have no choice but to remain optimistic. But you still got to deal with the reality of life, you know what I mean. And the reality of life is I don't care what your political party is when your economy's back period.

All right, Well, let me just get into my last story real quick. Elon Musk may be stepping away from the Trump administration. There's no official announcement that he made, but yesterday during the cabinet meeting, he did indicate that it was an honor to serve. He tout it finding one hundred sixty billion dollars of government waste and predicted

Of course, he has s did to take.

Quite a loss as being involved with this administration through Tesla, not so much the used ones.

But you know, this is not a good look.

So if you did find all his money in ways, what they're gonna do with the money? Remember remember remember when they was touting those five thousand dollars stimulus checks they was going to give the people if they found more ways, So what's up?

I believe that all of this is going to go into the efforts of that supposed Well, this is what they're saying, at least, this is what Dems are saying, is that these tax breaks and all this money that you know, he's supposedly finding, it's going to be lying in the pockets of his billionaire buddies, or at least that's what the Dems are.

I want to say something about the media again.

Media has not been mentioning Elon Musk like that in recent weeks. Elon Musk, you know, hasn't even been seeking media like that. You haven't really seen them tweets. He was making all that noise with Doge earlier, and then it started impacting his business.

I was gonna say, his pocket and now.

That's right, Yeah, that's right, that's right. Now, he didn't win, thought he was exempt. Thought was that's right?

Oh you thought I was fooling you? Okay, anyways, sorry, all right, y'all. That's your front face News.

Now.

When we come back the Icon Living, Carrie Washington will be joining us. She's got a new movie out called Shadow Force. It will be in Thetis Made Knife and we're going to talk to her next on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show.

To Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club.

Warning everybody you see J n V, Jesse Larris, the guy we at the breakfast club.

We got a special guest in the building, the Icon living Kerry Washington here. How are you kidding?

Good?

I'm happy to be here. Always good when I'm.

With you all.

Yeah, what's your energy like this morning?

I feel good, I feel centered, I feel grateful. Yeah, I'm curious.

Do you have an attention this morning? When you will go?

I didn't state an intention when I woke up this morning, but I woke up with a lot of gratitude.

Amazing, Yeah, amazing.

What's the gratitude for?

You know?

I feel like this is going to sound so cliche, but I'm very aware lately. Maybe I'm trying to cultivate more awareness lately that as much as things are challenging in the world, Like I feel like the circumstances in the world are tough at the moment for a lot

This is a time for I mean, it always never a time, but I want people to return back to God in this moment. I really because if you are a person of faith and you got to believe, everything truly does happen for a greater good, right, or at least for some reason that we may not understand.

I do believe that I do. I think that.

I try to remember though, also that that faith is not just about being like handing your power over that. For me, faith is about listening for God's will, which is also pointing me in the right direction toward action. Right Like faith is not just about like sitting back and saying like other people will do or somebody else will provide.

It's also about like, how can you use me today?

Lord?

Right?

How can I be of service today? How can I show up? Because faith isn't just about being inactive, It's about like really stepping into your purpose. You're calling your responsibility action?

Is that your word for this season? Since you're in shadow? For I do you know?

It's funny?

I feel like the last time I was here may have been to talk about my memoir Thicker than Water, And it was when I was writing Thicker than Water, I was making this movie, and so there was like an awareness of a strength that was growing in my life, like an emotional strength, a spiritual strength.

With my family.

And I feel like the film allowed me to put that in my body, like in my cells, to be like, what does fierceness really look like feel like on me?

Not that I know that.

Thinking about back to that conversation, I can I've seen a movie, so I can kind of see what you're talking about. Yeah, but did you ever think that you'll be taking on because this is your first action film, you'd be taking on action in your career in a role like this.

So, I mean, I'm just gonna be honest with you. I did an action film twenty years ago. I was Angelina Julie's best friend and mister Missus Smith and I got to like climb that mountain with Angelina and shoot some guns, and I was like.

I love this.

I loved it.

Oh, so you loved it. But I never had a chance.

Yeah until I then, I like, my career kind of took a different turn, and I was doing drama and TV and movies and comedy, but I'd never had a chance to do action again, and I really wanted to,

But at its heart, it's about love.

It's about family, It's about the sacrifices you make for the people that you love the most. It's about what it means to be a parent, and I think most parents know what it feels like to be like I would go to the ends of the earth to protect this child.

But if you are a trained mercenary.

Like my character and they kill people for a living, what does that look like to really do whatever it takes to protect your little black boy Joy? Yea, what was the training at this point in your career for this action film versus that first action film.

I don't even remember for the training for that one, And you know, maybe because I'm older or just it was so new for me.

But this was intense.

It was great.

I mean there was a lot of just weightlifting and pilates even just to get in shape to be able to learn the choreography. And then there was stunt training and weapons training because we're not just shooting guns where loading guns, were cleaning guns, where there was the fight choreography. I mean it was hours and hours of training.

Is you know a bus your gun before? No?

I did.

Yeah, yeah, I mean I had done a little bit, but I really and on all different kinds of guns and I'm a really good shot.

Did to make you want to own one?

It didn't make me want to own one, but it made me grateful that I could use it if I needed to.

Definitely, Yeah, was that ever challenging? What part of it was ever challenging?

The shooting was not challenging. Weirdly, it was weird like that it came. I mean, I have a one of our targets that I'm framing for my office that I got like a bullet in each eye, like crazy. I don't know why I'm such a good shot, but I'm I'm not complaining. I think the physical, like learning the martial arts, especially because a a lot of my fights.

Were with people much bigger than me.

So to learn how to fight Omarci, who plays my husband in the film, who's the actor of many of You may love him from Lupin or Lupin if you're saying it the French way, but he's so much taller than me, and so to figure out, like what is my fight approach to be able to take him on was fun.

Hard, I'll be honest with you, sounds very tiring, like what would the recovery process likes.

A press while you're yeah at all, But I loved it. I mean, it's it was.

It was useful to have a husband at the you know, my husband who was a former professional athlete, to be able to kind of help me through some of that.

But I love that.

I love challenging myself physically, and I love working out. I love getting into the body of the character. So it was exhausting, but I.

Also felt, I don't know, I was really proud.

That when my kids would get up on a Saturday morning, they would come downstairs and see mommy like with the boxing gloves on, kicking ass and the driveway with my trainer, Like there was something really exciting about that.

The role, like this help you to express your shadow side war.

I think so.

I definitely like i've I think my go to personality. I'm much more of a lover than a fighter. I'm not a person who likes to argue. I'm not really combative.

I'm not.

I'm not avoidant, but I'm definitely not an aggressive person. So this did help me tap into a level of anger and aggression and courage more than anything.

Ooh, courage. That's by courage.

Because I think when you put yourself in situations where you can get hurt, it requires you to face those fears and you know the It's funny. I was talking to Omar because he's French and our word courage comes from the French word kul, which means heart. So it's really about like having a strong heart, a capacity to challenge your heart.

That's interesting because I was thinking about something earlier, like what do you think your characters have taught you that no human being our real life ever.

I mean, I'm lucky because every time I play a character, I get to learn her greatest lessons. So it's almost like reincarnation in this lifetime, like I get to learn what she learns and then fold it into my life to move forward. A lot of times, what characters remind me, they remind me to be grateful, you know, Like for this film in Shadow Force, it's really about what it takes to protect the people you love from the systems that want to cause you harm, which I think is

I got pregnant.

So now we have to go on the run to protect our kid from the very unit that we used to be a part of, the Shadow Force unit. So for me, the film is about, like, when there are systems that don't want you to have freedom and love and joy, what do you do to fight those systems? And I think that's a great lesson to be reminded of right now. It's a great question for all of us to be asking ourselves right now. You know, Like I too, as a mom, want to protect my black

Also these two mercenaries. You know, they have to separate.

I kind of back off from the family to try to protect them from Afar, and Omar plays the dad.

It's this beautiful.

It's such a perfect date movie because the action is beast but Omar also plays He's doing the primary parenting of the dad, and that image of a black father who's so like locked in and present is so beautiful in a film. But part of what they learn is about partnership. Like, if you're lucky enough to have a partner in parenting, you are so much stronger when you

Is also a gift.

So I think I walked away from the film so grateful for my partner, for my kids, for our safety, for our willingness to fight for our joy no matter what's happening in the world.

Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington when we come back, don't move.

It's to Breakfast Club.

Good morning, everybody, It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the Guy we Are the Breakfast Club. Lauren la Roast is here as well. Was still kicking it with Carrie Washington.

Lauren the first scene that stood out to me where I was like, I think this is what I'm feeling. I'm feeling like she's fighting the fact that like this is a good man and he loves your son and you as much as you think he does.

Just let him do it.

Oh, you got it, girl. Y'all were at the gun range and.

Don't don't give no damn more.

Okay, Yeah, yeah, y'all and y'all y'all had the back and forth there, yeah, and you left and his shot was perfect, and I was like, man, it talked about a lot about how men have to sacrifice in family and relationship versus how women have to do it and how.

We feel it.

Yes, and now we come together because you really kind of twisted the gender norms in this film where the woman is out there working protecting from Afar, trying to you know, not just bring home the bacon, like bring home the dead bodies to protect this family. But he's even though he's badass and strong, he's also like the more sensitive parents.

He's like really present.

I was talking to my girlfriends, like, to me, there is nothing sexier than watching a man be a good dad.

It is just like so beautiful.

So I just love that we're kind of playing in those gender norms and asking people to challenge your idea of even what family looks like today.

Did that cause any conversations for you at home with your family of like, Okay, here are some things that you know I want to I don't know, let you do. Let you I'm gonna I'm gonna lean and allow you to do. Because that was like the biggest thing is.

Like, yeah, I don't know that the film caused me to have those conversations in my marriage. But I think one of the reasons why the film really resonated for me is because I do really understand the value of the partnership that I can and I really do have. You know, I love parenting with my husband. You know, I love our marriage and I love how we are a team with these kids, and both are really important.

All of that is just so important.

So when I read the script, I was like, Oh, this just feels so good to see black love portrayed in this way black power like they are so badass, but also to see black love sort of explored in this way.

You play so many different roles, like when you go home, how do you remain rooted?

And who Carrie Washington is.

Yeah, I have rituals that I do at the end of the day, like a lot of times, you know, a lot of times I'll play a character, for example, who's married to somebody else, right, And so for me, when I take off my wedding ring and put it back on at the beginning of the end of the day, that's a small ritual.

That grounds me and who I am.

So it's such a big part of who I am and how I walk in the world. And I just I have like ways that I close out the day because in the beginning of my career I used to try to live in these characters all day long. But when you get married and have kids, You're like, I don't need to go home and be sharing my shadow self with people that don't.

Deserve that or need that. So I try to.

Really create containers you know, some of that has to do with the hair and the makeup. When I take off the costume, I just try to leave what needs to be left there. It's not always perfect. There's you know, I'm a person who thinks a lot about the work even when I'm not at work. But I do try to make sure that I'm as present as I can be with my family because they deserve that.

Have you ever bought a home and called you?

You mane?

Their own name?

Characters?

The characters now, yes, Olivia.

No, no, okay no no no.

I feel like I got to say gradulations to you too, because the six Triple Late received the Congressional Medal.

Yes, honor.

I feel I feel like the Netflix series, Nicole Avon and Tyler Perry, I feel like that amplified that story.

That was our goal.

You know, when when Tyler and Nicole came to me with that project.

It was so clear to us that this story.

Needed to be told because these women needed to be celebrated, and that the most important thing was that we made a movie that really resonated with people so that no one would ever forget these women existed and what they did, the sacrifices they made for this country and the courage they had to do what they did. So the fact that it like broke records, it was Tyler's biggest film ever on Netflix, that fifty million people watched it in the first few months, Like it was just an insane

That feels psychologically to see the same administration has taken so much from us to also reward the six triple late.

I don't know if it was this administration that made that decision or if it happened prior to I just ought to speak at yeah, yeah, yeah, But I would just say, whoever gives them their flowers, they deserve their flowers. It doesn't make me say that the other decisions they're making are okay, right, Like they don't get a pass because they've done this one thing. These women deserve to be honored and celebrated despite whoever is in power at any time, and.

Then the NAACP Image of work moments. But thank you to Tyler Perry. Congratulations, I'll Standing Actress in a Motion Picture for us, and.

Then we also won Best Picture, which was so proud as an executive producer of that film.

Yeah, the movie was perfectly cast. It to oh my god, all those girls.

It was.

As a producer, I was really proud to be introducing all of that young talent, all those incredible young black actresses to the world.

They were so.

Amazing and in shadow force too. I mean Jalil As a producer, when we audition Omar and I auditioned Julia, who plays our son in the film, I mean, he like steals the movie. He's so adorable and lovable and he has to be right because every explosion, every kick, every punch is for him, so you have to fall in love with him, and he's so good. And then method Man's in the film to find Joy. We were lucky we got her before her fancy Oscar. But the cast is incredible. It's stacked.

I love Yeah, Graduat.

I wanted to ask you when the NAACP Image of word moment happened where you think Tyler Perry again, and then he posted online talking about how that brought him to tears. Y'all talked after. I'm sure was it an emotional conversation.

It was because again, like we don't you know, we had just made this film to give flowers to eight hundred and fifty two women in heaven and three who were still with us, to honor their sacrifice and their service. And he was like, I'm so grateful that you take that you took the time to give me my flowers now right, we can't wait for people to go to say how great they are. We need to let people know in the real And I didn't. I just didn't know that I had thanked him twice.

Going throughause, I blacked out.

I really really did not think I was gonna win. Like I told Nandi to stay home, like you gotta come to this baby, Like I knew. I knew that Cynthia Rivo was winning that award or she was nominated for an Oscar. I'm such a crazy, wicked fan, like I voted for Cynthia, so it was amazing. I really was shocked, Like like Beyonce Album of the year, shocked,

I just blew up the whole show.

I love that.

I love that level of gratitude, you know what I mean, because I feel like a lot of people who don't do that. Why was that so important for you to do in that moment? Like I have to make sure I think that.

I think because Tyler's been such a support for me throughout my career. Like at a time earlier in my career where I was like I'm done acting, I don't think I want to do this anymore, he called me to be in for Colored Girls Beautiful film, and I got to work with so many of my heroes, Whoopi Goldberg and Felicia Rashad and Loretta Devine and Janet Jackson and Anica Noni Rose a young Tessa Thompson. Like he's been there for me even when I've struggled, like in

So I want.

I just it was. I couldn't imagine not thinking him.

Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good Morning.

Wanting everybody.

It's theej Envy, Jesse, Larius Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club. Lorn La Ross here as well, was still kicking it with Kerrie Washington Charlomagne.

But what are the biggest lessons you've learned as a producer as opposed to things you learned as a as a fad actor.

I guess the thing I love most about producing is when you're.

An actor, you really are sitting around waiting for somebody else to give you an opportunity to do what you love to do right, Like you're like, please, somebody hire me, somebody invite me to your party, Like I just want to play, I want to hang out.

I want a seat at the table.

But when you're a producer, it's that thing of like if you don't have a seat at the table, build your own table. Like I get to build my own table now, and because it's my table, it's the table I know I want to be at and I do not build a table for one. So to have a table where I know thousands of people are getting to work and to pursue excellence and chase their dreams because of what we're doing at Simpson Street, that's such a gift.

Three, Desperate Housewives, Yeah I make Yeah, So.

We're really like we are creating lots of opportunities not just for me but for other people, and that I love to be of service.

I was going to ask how do you pick what you get involved in or choose to do.

Because the Desperate Housewives spin off, it's like twenty years later. Yeah, were you a fan of the show or like, how what's.

The fact I love the show. I'm a huge fan of the show and that showrunner Mark Cherry. I just I thought it's just a great time. Like some of the issues of that show, the idea of like living a life of perfection where everything looks good, but underneath there are secrets and desires and complexities that we're not talking about. Like that still resonates. So I thought this was a good time to to think about how would that show exist now? Who would be in that cul

I see people were not happy about that, though I saw some backlash. It was like, we don't want a new cast. I think they're trying to say we don't want to adversity. I think that's what it really says.

I was thinking, I mean, some black neighbors, we'll see, we'll see.

How do you even when you hear stuff like that, does it deter you in any way?

Like?

Is that a project? I want to touch.

I'm open to feedback. I think it's important to have your ear open to criticism. But I try to only give real power to people who are in the game right like I don't. I don't really take criticism to heart from people who I don't admire and respect.

Dang, you you're from outside.

I have to like you and like how you're living and right you're doing and what you're creating to feel like you have a say on what I do.

But I'm very open. I'm a very collaborative person. I'm very open to feedback.

I love getting like I love directors who challenge me, who make me be better, who ask tough questions.

You just have to be careful with your energy and not give it to haters.

So just the random folks on social media you like whatever, No I mean you.

I again, I think you have to stay aware.

I think anytime you just dismiss human beings is that's not healthy because everybody matters. Everybody's a child of God, People's voices matter, people count. But you just have to For me, as I'm weighing input, I have to make sure that I don't give my power away.

Question when when you were doing scandal, right, Yeah, the scandal seemed very absurd.

You think about the government.

When you look at the government now, you like, what like shann couldn't even it's wild.

What would do right now if she was part of his government.

Which I don't think she would be part of this government. I don't think she would have you know, she wouldn't serve this administration.

Even to be a spool who sat by the door like the that's.

An interesting twist. Maybe Shonda would write that kind of version.

Yeah, I don't. I really this administration is.

Beyond what I can wrap my head around right now, and so I'm really really trying to pivot my focus on most days to how each of us can show up to participate in this process in ways that really matters, because I think we got here because too many people feel like they don't matter, like their voices didn't matter. I think if more people understood the power of their vote, we wouldn't be where we are.

When did you first realize people were watching you not just as an actress, but as an as a leader.

Oh that's a good question. I don't know.

I think I've always been a little bit of a you know, I started my activism work when I was a teenager. So I've always been a person who's kind of been an artist but also tried to be of service.

But I don't know.

I don't, I don't.

I mean, even as you said it, I was like, oh, I guess people do think of me as a leader, but I don't. That's not first in my mind. I don't think about it in those terms. Yeah.

Interesting, I would say, even politically like people they I don't know your character of course because of you know, living Pope, but even politically like people look to you to see like who you're talking about, why you're talking about, on what you're doing, what you're not doing. You got off an X at one point, I did, Yeah you took a break. I saw you post that as well. Are you back now?

No?

No, no, no, right no.

But it's a synonymous with Olivia popeen who you know what I mean? The whole Scan show and.

That was Twitter.

Yeah, that was an ex. Twitter was made our show. Part of what it was the culture on Twitter and black Twitter. But X is a different place now. The neighborhood has changed. I don't want to live there. I'm not in that neighborhood anymore. I don't agree with the leadership. You want to talk about leadership like, I don't agree with the leadership there. I don't agree with how the conversations are happening.

It's not okay.

It's not as safe a place as it used to be, and it was never entirely safe, but now it's like the wild West, and there's a lot of misinformation, and so I don't want to be at that party.

I'm glad you use the word safe because you don't seem to play it safe, but you have this like huge career. A lot of people in Hollywood want to play it safe because they don't want to impact, you know, their career.

Why do you take that? I guess risk is the work.

It's interesting because I even at my company, when we talk about culture within the company at Simpson Street, we often don't say, like we want to make sure this is a safe space. We try to say, we want to make sure this is a brave space, because it's not about safety. It's about truth and having the courage, being brave to say the things that need to be said so that you can move everybody forward. Safe is about like tiptoeing eggshells, working around people. It's like, no, no, no, no, no,

What was there a brave story you want to tell right now?

Especially being like I said, they keep they're taking a lot of things from it. So I feel like art is going to be the only way to educate and inform.

I was just at the Brooklyn Artists Ball last night at the Brooklyn Museum and they were honoring Darren Walker, who's an incredible leader, and he was saying that artists hold such important meaning in the culture right now because artists are like a mirror.

Up to society.

I'm really proud of Shadow for us. I really I love this film. I feel like theaters are back, Like I'm so excited about Sinners. I'm obsessed with that film is so beautiful. I feel like this is another like really exciting film to see in theaters because the locations are gorgeous and it's not a lot of cgi Like this is real people doing real stunts, putting our bodies at risk. I'm excited to be in community with people telling stories about the power of black family and black love.

Yeah, and then I'm starting a series Simpsons.

Treet is producing a new series for Apple called Imperfect Women that we start in a couple of weeks. We're filming in LA So I'm really excited about that project to us with Lizzie Moss from Handmaid's Tale, and that's also really about like truth, you know.

And booked and busy trying. I love that.

And I'm excited that we're shooting in LA you know, because we need that after the fires. There's we really need for more production to be happening in Los Angeles. So I just finished doing a film there and now we're starting this series.

Are you reprising your role as Alicia Masters? And fantastic film.

I haven't been invited to.

Manifestation, but you can put that out there.

I do want to do more action films.

I really feel like doing Shadow Force was so fun, and I think it's exciting to work in that way, to be to take on strength, not just intellectually and emotionally and spiritually, but physically.

Got well. Thank you, Queen Carry Washington.

Always a pleasure when you pull up Shadow Forces in theaters.

On May Night. All the badass.

I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

She'd be having the latest on you.

The latest with Lauren La Rosa fact.

Sometimes we have detailed, sometimes you have a little bit.

Every time. Leader on the Breakfast Clubs talk to me.

So last night the twenty second NBA season ended, Lebron James and Lakers took a loss to the Timberwolves.

Three tonight.

Lakers, Shakers, Breakers, Takers tem.

Well this morning at following that game, hashtag he is forty has been trending.

Now.

This has been trending because that is Lebron James's age, and every time the NBA season ends, Lebron James talks about what his future is going to look like. This time around, he said last night that he is undecided when it comes to retirement or not. So people are just going back and forth about whether he should retire because I know he said before that he was just waiting to be able to play a year or a

What I mean? I don't.

I mean Lebron can still play. I mean for me, it's put it like this, I'm forty six years old. I've been watching Lebron play what twenty one to twenty two seasons. Now I've seen more. I've seen more of what I saw yesterday. Like you know, I guess heartbreak than I have him at the top. And it's not fair to say, because you know, I watched Michael Jordan for thirteen years. Half of that he won championships. I watched Maggic Johnson for thirteen years. Half of that he

Much, much, much, much, much much longer.

But I've seen him lose a lot, and I've seen a lot of people eat on his watch. Still, you know, top five greatest NBA player of all time, but I've seen a lot of people eat on his watch.

So I don't know what he still has to prove at this point.

Maybe he's still trying to chase that because he doesn't like that kind of conversation. Maybe he's still trying to chase some of those people I just named. But I don't think he has anything to prove. But I mean, I can't sit here and say he should retire because his game. Don't say that at all.

A lot of the articles last night it out and I think some of these injuries are common just with the game. But a lot of them pointed out last night that he was limping out of the Crypto arena. His left leg was swollen from a needy leede collision.

Here you wake up limping for no goddamn reason, okay, and have to run up and down the corn.

Like French or something stretching. I've seen it, crazy Yilli. Even Charlamune coming in this money every morning, be like.

I came out, Yes, he'd be doing that.

I thought it was because he was on a spectrum and didn't tell us. Thought it was a little remedia at first.

But no, it's literally is about to be fifty that's true.

Well, if if Lebron James does opt into his option, which he has to do by June twenty ninth, or he becomes a free agent, he can return to the Lakers for twenty six and it'll be worth fifty two point six million dollars.

If he does play for another year, I personally would like to see him going back to Cleveland for his last year and have his victory lap tour. And Cleveland got a really good team, so you know, you never know, like Cleveland got a really great team, right, like the know that I don't know if they don't win the championship this year, maybe somebody like Lebron can go there and help get them over the top. And it's easy to He'll be a free agency, they won't have to lose anything. So who knows well.

In other sports news really quick so we can get to those salmon sandwiches. The Atlanta Falcons and their defensive coordinator Jeff Albridge have been fined following that print call that Jeff Albridge's son did to Shadoor Sanders over the NFL draft.

Let's take a listen to jeff Arbridge apologizing.

First of all, I like to publicly apologize to Shadar and the Sanders family for what occurred. Second of all, I want to publicly apologize to mister Blank, Terry Foutino, Ran Morris, and the entire Falcons organization. My actions, my actions have not protected confidential data, were inexcusable. My son's actions were absolutely inexcusable, and for that we are both deeply sorry. The NFL has taken action and I fully

You should have your son up to apologizing too.

And furthermore, I'm taking money out all these accounts whatever I didn't save it up to him, trust funds and everything. This coming out your money, son, Okay, this quarter million, you're gonna pay for this.

So the Falcons will find two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, while Jeff Albridge will have to pay one hundred thousand dollars in an edition for failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information that was distributed to the club and advance of the NFL draft because that number his son was able to obtain because of those confidential documents. Now, question, Jess, what does a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars behind within look like in your household? Because my mom I

I would have to be a slave for the rest of my life.

Pretty much.

Yes, my mom is not paying that for me.

My dad would not pay that for me, Like if it was my fault, that's such a big bill, Like that accumulates in the house, and it's my fault. I'm working the rest of my life to pay that and swoppens every day and I'm thirty three, But.

I'm saying I'm not even joking, Like whatever trust fund he has put up for that little boy, that money should come out of that. It's like like whatever money he got put away for that little boy, if that little boy got money in his savings account, checking account, all of that got to come out to go to this fine. You got you a nice little car that you was driving, You're gonna have to sell that to anything you got valuable you got to get rid of until his dad.

Is paid off.

Daddy had a couple of dollars, so you know he was driving something nice. You know, you know he was not no more. Well, that is the latest, and make sure you got to check out the podcast The Latest with Learn the Rosa. Me and Brandon who's been sitting on the podcast, and we had a spirited discussion about this because you know, brand is into sports and some things.

Talk about Drew a couple of times, like we like Drew up here in front of the room.

Maybe, well, today is also made for us the first day of mental health away in this month. So we need a young woman named Akisha Johnson to come to the front of the congregation.

We would like to have a word with her. You'll see, okay, because that.

Is yeah, that is messed up. Okay.

It's the Breakfast Club.

If you're like into the breakfast Club and.

I just wanted to know how you came up with them, don't hear.

The name, because you mean.

You get a bunch of donkeys.

That is what Charlemagne.

Because we live a life where we write are tongue based off who we may have seen, he never say anything.

On the Breakfast Club.

In the word of charlemagnea god he's a donkey.

Cow man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey a day.

To who now?

Yes, donkey today for Thursday, May first is going to a thirty five year old Kentucky woman named Makisha Johnson. Now today is made first. And do you know what today is?

It's the first day of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Okay, drop on the clues, bumps for mental health away as we This month is dedicated to raising awareness, promoting education, and providing resources to support those struggling with mental health challenges. And that is what we are doing today with this donkey. We are raising awareness to those struggling with mental health issues.

What do you mean, Uncle Sharlah.

She did something that a lot of people think about doing when the process at the hospital is taking too long.

Well, let's go to WDR you for the report. Please.

A woman is under arrest in Louisville after reportedly choking and assaulting a U OFFL hospital nurse. Court records saying nurse was making her roalm Saturday afternoon, when thirty five year old Miikeisha Johnson allegedly attacked her.

Plase Say.

Footage of the incident shows Johnson choking the nurse, then slamming her to the ground, where she reportedly began hitting the nurse in the face.

Officer Say.

Johnson claims she was angry at the staff were taking too long to discharge her. Johnson was charged with assault of a healthcare provider, wanting endangerment and menacing.

Here's the thing. When you're ready to go, you're ready to go. Okay.

We have all been part of the discharge process from the hospital in some way, shape or form, whether you've been the patient or whether you've been waiting with somebody. And yes, the hospital does drag their feet sometime. Okay,

Oh my god, you be so.

Ready to leave the hospital once they tell you nothing wrong or they fix what is wrong, but the hospital do be taken forever. But just because you think about choking somebody doesn't give you the right to do it.

Okay.

Escially, when this nurse wasn't doing anything but her job. Nurses out here working long hours, they're underpaid, they're stressed, and they always put their own health ever risk just to take care of our sick asses.

Okay, they do not deserve to be attacked on the job, full stop.

But also, if you're trying to speed up the process, Makisha, the quickest way to slow things down is by physically attacking the nurse. Okay, you're definitely not going home now, You're going to jail now. I'm not here to make excuses for her violences. Okay, what she did was wrong, but we have to know something was off with her mentally, right. You gotta know that there is a lot of things that are going to push people to the breaking point.

What, suck it up?

You know you were best eat because I could have tied all of that in with Kanye too, but I didn't because he's somebody else that we know is deal with mental health issues and people be telling him to suck it up. He did it literally, But we tell people to man up and get over it or just deal with it. Meanwhile, people out here exploding over little things, okay, and others have to pay the price like that poor nurse.

So we need to get people help, get them therapy.

I personally don't believe this young woman, Makisha Johnson needs to be in handcuffs but she does deserve to get the credit today for being stupid, so give her the biggest he huh. Yes, yo, this man said suck it up and people exploding over little things?

Rightness was so much gay intention? Oh my god, guys, no album.

But no, it is mental health aware.

Thisess wants to let's, you know, pay attention to what with mental health awareness is all about? Okay, there are people out here struggling with all types of mental health challenges that they don't know what to do with. So let this be the month that you know, we should do it all the time, but we should alway be raising awareness and promoting mental health education and providing resources to people who need it.

They gonna do that? Kane empathy?

Am I gonna get empathy? Well, here's the thing.

The reason I gave mckeisy Johnson donkey to day is because she's thirty five years old. At some point, you know, you know you shouldn't know better about it. You know you're not responsible for your trauma, but you are responsible for your healing.

I mean, I hear you just because what I think you said something crazy. It's Samon Berger.

Not answering the phone. I don't go around people.

You gotta surround yourself with, you know, positive vibes. I'm assuming because I'm positive for the most part. Ain't nothing wrong with a little negativity every now and then because everything can't be all peaches and sunshine and everything like that, and that builds character.

Negativity kind of builds character a little bit.

But yeah, just don't answer the phone. Just don't talk to people.

Is it your friends, your friends, your family?

Oh okay, So that's what happened.

All right, okay, so now we're being more specific. That was real broad how you just came out like that. All right, cool, but yeah, you you set that boundary, like, nah, I'm not allowing this in my life. This is not that you have to really really know what you won't take, because if you tolerate something, people are only going to keep doing, you know, displaying the same behavior. Like you have to you have to let people know you're serious

All your blood.

A lot of times, nah, a lot of times you gotta separate yourself and isolate yourself from family and friends as well so they understand on all right, Yeah, I may have done something that she didn't like or I made.

Her feel uncomfortable in some type of way.

Yeah, separates yourself, don't askwer the phone, don't go around these people. They they're not deserving of your time and certainly that they're not worth you draining your energy for them, like no.

I love that her and Viola Davis are both starring in an action film at the same time. It kind of gives you the feel of like the How To get Away with Murder and Scandal like Universe or something like that. Yeah, so I really really love it. Love seeing black women whom we ain't really ever see doing action before doing action and.

It was they're good too, Like it's not like where you can tell us it's stunt double or like yeah, it's actually good the shot.

Well, you know, it's so interesting about Shonda Rhimes and Biola Davis. They both had hit shows on network television. But a lot of times when you talk to a lot of you know, black people, especially black women, when they've had those hit shows on network TV, they don't go on to have like huge success in you anywhere. A lot of a lot of times, like especially when you talk to a lot of them from the nineties.

Yeah, they had.

Those big roles, but you didn't really see them do anything much after that, Like they didn't even get offered anything. So the fact that you know, uh, Carrie and Viola still get a lot of work is a testament to them.

But also you know, just I don't know, have time changed, Like what happened?

Have time changed? You were here then and you don't he has been here.

You.

Are still here.

We don't know, man, it's so stupid. What is the positive old people have time change that? But it's not that I'm asking y'all. I'm just asking.

Myself person when you accept time.

Changed that, but you tell us you was here, nigga, the old time, Oh the positive. Notice simply this, authenticity and integrity always win.

Okay.

People either accept you or they don't. You keep people in your life who align with the truth for your being or they don't. Nothing is lost when you remain honest.

Okay.

Authenticity filters your life for you. You keep the ones who are aligned and release the ones who aren't.

Have a great day, breakfast, club, bitchess you don't finish for y'all.

Done,
