You always come in here every day and just act normal like you ain't got a whole new born at the house.

Oh my god, that's probably the only place I can be a.

Little normal, really. Yeah.

Between her and ash because you know, Ashton is twelve, so he's going into that teenage phase and then well the teenage life, and then her she's six months in two days. So she she's doing a lot like she talking.

She loud all the time.

And I can't even be mad because I'm loud in my house all the time.

But she is loud.

When we try to get sleep, she loud. It's hard to get a nap and whatever.

She not a cribbaby.

She just scream and talk and just yell all day.

Is she on a regular schedule, because you you got to get up at one time, four o'clock.

I get up at three fifteen.

Every day, she'd be up. She be sleeping. No, she sleep.

She goes asleep at like ten thirty and then she'll sleep till seven.

Yeah, you know why she gotta be talking all night. She probably want another siblings, so she's be like aayther sister my age to talk to.

Yet not right now, No, take like two years off of that. Okay, Yeah, that natural birth put me down for a little bit.

Much of that, Yeah, tapped out for a little bit already.

No, so not right now.

All the working mothers out there, man, absolutely you know what I'm saying, got the new boys at the house, gotta get up in the morning.

You don't still lift your life like everything normal?

And then the more that you do and the more time to pass, you like your milk decrease depending on who you are, because every woman is different, Like it's a decreasing and milk flow, like the more time passed, because I'm not making as much milk as i was like two months ago now, but I'm also doing much more and she's eating solids now, so it's good. It's it's adjusting to her as she grows.

Well, salute to all the moms out there now. Today on the show, Will Packer will be joining us Man.

He's got a new book, Who Better Than You, The Art of Healthy Arrogance in Dreaming Big out Now. So Will's always a good conversation. He always makes a good conversation.

That's right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news, Morgan. We'll be breaking everything down and don't go anywhere.

It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning morning, everybody's dj NV just Hilarius, Charlamagne, the God.

We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news.

Good morning, Morgan, good morning.

And Charlemagne God and Jess hilarious. All right, let's get into it. So a federal judge is declining a request from fourteen attorneys general to temporary block, temporary, to temporarily ban Elon Musk from accessing data at seven federal agencies fourteen states as a as for a restraining order to block Musk doze a Department of Government efficiency from firing employees and gaining access to sensitive records.

Now.

The group of attorneys general argued the power granted to Musk by President Trump is unconstitutional. However, the judge said the AG's hadn't shown specific examples of how doge would cause irreparable harm to the states.

I guess we have to wait and see.

But President Trump and the first friend, Elon Musk, they took part in a joint interview on Fox last night. Trump credited Musk with implementing many executive orders he has signed since taking office. Again, Trump said that a lot of his executive orders will be ordered into law, and he said Musk works with his group at DOGE, who he referred to as geniuses to get things done. Elon also expressed his affection for the president, and here's what he had to say.

If you really didn't believe the media, become one of your best friends.

He's working for free for you, the president. I just want to be care about that.

I don't care about that.

I know, I love the I love the President.

I think I think President Trump is a good man and he's you know, I've.

Said what he said that you know there's something that I said that it really is.

You know, because I mean, the President has been so unfailure attacked in the media.

It's truly outrageous.

And I've spent at this point, spent a lot of time with president and not once have I seen him do something that was mean or cruel or or wrong.

I really don't understand how how what you know he's being allowed to do with constitutional or legal like why does an unelected person have that type of power?

Like over twelve thousand.

Federal workers fired, they fired and then tried to rehire nuclear weapons works as workers accidentally fired people at the USDA working on flu like.

What happened to America? First, you have a foreigner in control of people's money and livelihood.

How is that? Okay, hmmm, talk about it.

So Musk went on to say that the assassination attempts on Trump in July only sped up the process of him endorsing Trump and speaking from mar Largo, Trump called Musk a patriot, So let's hear those comments.

Elon is to me a patriot.

So you know, you could call him an employee, you could call them a consultant, you could call them whatever you want, but he's a patriot.

So there has been a lot of hoopla around this whole doze thing about who's in charge. So the White House has recently said that Elon Musk is not in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency. That's according to a recent court document filed. The filing, signed by the Director of the Office of Administration at the White House, says Musk has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself.

Right.

I know.

President Trump has made public statements saying that Musk is leading DOGE. So it's very controversial and it's you know, we're trying to figure it out. So the affidavit says that Musk is a special government employee and serves as a senior advisor to the president.

Furthermore, in that uh that I can.

Say, I'm not five to six A but you got eyes right, You're not five six, You're like five to two.

Is there any good.

You just the people talking?

I think this is really funny.

So Hannity, Trump and Musk also spoke about X, the app formerly known as Twitter, and how X recently paid Trump ten million dollar judgment. You know, he had that lawsuit out against him, but you know it added that Musk got that had to cut that check. Basically, Musk got a huge he said. Trump said, Musk got a huge discount and he doesn't even realize it. Of course, the president sued the social media app before Musk got it.

And they all paying they tithes and offerends of Trump.

ABC.

You know, paramount about to pay day tithes and offerings to Facebook Guardy paid they tithes and off they all any tithes and offerends of Trump.

So Furthermore, in that interview, Musk also said that he felt that the president isn't being wrapped represented and that the will of the people. If the president isn't being represented, then the will of the people isn't being represented. So speaking of the will of the people. In San Francisco, California, I think this is an interesting story.

Guys.

Officials are investigating three men who claim to be from the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE. Authorities say that the men went to city hall wearing DOZE shirts and MAGA hats and demanded records from several offices and employees. The men demanded digital information related to alleged wasteful government spending and fraud. City hall employees refused their requests and called

So all that does is encourage this type of behavior.

Having someone who is not like you said, and government official, someone who has not been elected but seems to be leading the country.

We call them the first front.

First, all I know is if you run on the economy man, and you know within three weeks, you know, twelve dolland people have lost their job, that's never a good thing. I want to salute the five Well five W one movement. They're the organization that led the protests on Monday. They had fifty protests in fifty states and they were protesting against you know, Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

And that was on Monday, and.

I mean there was literally, you know, thousands of protesters all across the country. So drop on a clues bond for them.

Sorry, that's your front page news for six a m. At seven am, we'll talk about more with Elon Hunt and uh, I guess we would call it a foreign affairs and what's going on overseas and how that whole transport, how all of that transpires.

And then we'll also get into some aviation news and updates. So I'll keep you guys.

Supposed to go America is supposed to be ran by incompetent Americans, not incompetent foreigners. Merit merit based all right, Well, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, phone line to wide open again eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

I was minding my business last week, y'all. I was up minded my business last week and somebody called in, mentioning me multiple times, trying to get every reaction.

Okay, Sean Shawn Stone, Yes, yes it was, Yes, it.

Was showing story, y'all. I ain't mentioned this man and a whole year and bring him up last year. I got my all little things I'm worried about in life. Right now, I'm trying to slow us on my songwriting. I'm trying to fok us on that hating on somebody, a straight man who just don't like me because he is because I'm gay. I ain't got time for it.

Over it.

It's been seven years. I beat him in a rap battle seven years ago.

He has not let it go.

Baby, You gotta let that go.

He really ain't let that hurt go. He's been hurt ever since you busted his ass in that rap battle. I'm not gonna lie to you, trap. Listen, happened in real life? You ever busted somebody ass like physically like you just you just you know, pounded him out and they couldn't get.

Back.

Around that time, he was threatening me right like like real life, trying to pretten me. And I told he clear didn't know who I was. And I told him, so, I'm gonna be at dj Envy's car show. And I told him to come up the enemy's car show. I'm gonna whoop his ass show.

I was gonna say, damn, he gotta beat by budget crazy, but don't be bringing to my car show.

We're gonna be in the parking lot. I already nobody want to know. There's worse things you could have did this after and beat it.

So I'm trat.

Bye, y'all.

Hello, who's this top of the morning? This is fab what's but get it off your chest?

Well, I mean, the only thing I want to say is, uh, there's a lot going on in the climate, the culture and everything. I just want to say, uh, simply that as an American who is black. I voted for Donald Trump, born in Harlem, raised just stout you making queens. I'm proud of what he's doing. And also as a proud Black American, I want to say that our group is not making the progress we want to due to a

Me.

It's one thing to have an argument about things that took place in the past and want to make it right, but it's another thing to hate your own land and country that you cannot be deported from and expect the best from it. So we have to be Americans first. Black is second. We got to I don't want to say it like that, but we just got to bring more patriotism. You know, we got to support America. We are Americans first and foremost, so that means that, you know, we belonged to a greater dominant.

Cultural Groupes CAUs your question because I do believe America first.

How do you feel about a foreigner being in control of where the government spends money and a foreigner, you know, being responsible for twelve thousand American federal workers being laid off and when you talk about you know, you know what you say, you said you gotta be be black

And yes, And that's a great question. I'm glad you brought that up, and I want to answer that as a natural born, foundational black American, we want those things. You see, we tend to associate what's the word I'm looking for, We tend to associate corruption with this white face. But over these last twelve years, throughout the Obama administration

Even presidencies.

And it is shown that black people are just as prone to corruption as well if you look at different majors who are the city. So we got to stop associating that.

It's not about it but I don't understand what I don't understand last.

Point, last point, last quick point. You said, what about a foreigner? Okay, so America is a land of the brave, home of the free. Many foreigners here. It's not about where you're from, it's about your mindset on America. If a foreigner has a positive mind state about American left this plan and want to put it first, and that's fine. But if a foreigner like ilean Omar, somebody like that, is representing another country while in our Congress we elect

I don't like these generalizations that you making, Like I don't know who told you that all black people hate white people?

Like where did you get this logic from?

Y'all got this conversation behind the scenes because we got to go get it off your chest.

Broad generalization came from.

Five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, you can get it up now. We got just with the mess coming up. What we're talking about speaking of freedom and letting it bring.

Is not goofyak yes, because he was preaching brothers.

All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast.

Club, Good morning everybody. It's Steve j n V.

Jess hilarious, charlamage to God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the message.

News is real, weapons just corrobb the more.

Just don't do no lines, don't do that talk.

World why Jess worldwise mass on the Breakfast Club.

She's the coaching ship.

She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.

That's time to set it off.

I'm happy that a SAP is free. That's another black man who can be home with his family, like you know, he's got them two.

Kids, that wife.

We might get an album from Rihanna, you know, yeah, her man just beat twenty four years.

I feel like we're not gonna get the album now because he just because they're gonna be busy.

Did you what did that say about asad Rocky is a rabbit that y'all want to hear from his wife, but not him.

Y'.

I mean, Sugar put him on the album.

I want to.

I want to Rihanna album because they found that.

It's been ten years for re Rito, so I love people want an album. I mean, I ain't never gonna stop wanting that.

I do love her.

I like her.

Well, yes, now we can focus back on her now that this man is free.

I mean, let me tell you.

Listen, yesterday, so Asap Rocky was found not guilty. Yesterday in court, he was found not guilty of all charges. Uh, so he's gonna walk free. And the minute that the verdict was read, y'all talking about Rihanna just to his family, and it went crazy. Let's take a listen, b A five is zero.

Eight one or two.

That's zero way we luxury above the time of actually find the defendant ROCKI mayors guilty.

I loved that.

Yo.

He jumped over that that bench in Rihanna's arms.

Huh.

There were reporters in the court back in Qunif. She said that actually Rihanna was in tears that they read the verdict and when he jumped over and hugged her, and his family was in tears as well too.

They had no safer place to beat. In those women's arms he dived into four years.

Four years.

Yeah, and that happened pretty fast. I know it probably didn't feel fast for Rocky or for Rihanna.

For his family.

But fourteen days they went to deliberations yesterday came back at the end of the day. It was around like eight o'clock when the jury came back with the not guilty and yeah, he was facing he was accused of firing gun at his former friend Asap Brelly, so he was looking at some time. Now, people though, aren't asking what happens because okay, so on one side you have ACEPS attorney who's like he lied on the stand a lot.

We're grateful for the jury they saw through this barrage day they won.

He was innocent.

He turned down a plate for almost no jail time because he was innocent.

This was an extortion.

The extortion played out live in color in court. What it says is that the district attorneyship looked long and hard at prosecuting Pyrel Frock. We said that from day one they should do it. Now they have them admitted to perjury. They have a committed assortion destroy stowed through it and came through it the enormously quick as screeny verdict for me, my partner Chad where honored have represented

They said, Joe probably get charge of perjury.

He should, that's what they're pushing for many extortion.

There's a few moments on the stand where he had said things and then it was debunked and it was a lot that happened. But also to Raley had found that thirty million dollar defamation loss against Asas. That was first that was it was like after the shooting, but it was before the criminal started. Yes, yes, and that's gonna have to be thrown out because he was alleging that because of the shooting and because of the statements that ace acept Rocky's attorney was making, he was being defamed.

They could prove he lied on the stand. He should have to be prosecuted.

He should be prosecuted because there's no way that Asap Rocky has to pay for attorney fees, has to do all these different things.

And somebody who lies on the stand just walks not.

Knew who Asap really was this situation and so now it's just like that's what you're known for, you know, for somebody who couldn't even rat.

Right, and I know even she got shot now real, I mean, just yeah, he was lying.

Well do we really do?

What should happen?

Yeah, well, congratulations of asap Rocky. My advice to never leave the house ever again. Okay, but I can't happen. Don't communicate with any n words after five PM. Situations like this, though, is you get to really see who's who. I'm sure over the last however many years has been he's got to see who was like really in his corner.

So s luthor U asap rocket.

Yep, Yes, he's getting to his family, moving on a CARDI be girl.

So I said that that Stephan was keeping her busy. She decided that to tweet about Offset when she got to it.

Yeah, well you asked yesterday did she respond? Did she because you know she'll get online now listen, she didn't. She didn't say offsets name in this tweet, but of course, and she deleted the tweet. But we know what this is given. So yesterday, after we reported about her amazing Valentine's a weekend CARDI got on Twitter and she tweeted, I'm getting harassed the worst way. I suggest you shut

All you famous girls, that was getting Yeah, I guess you know, she said. She look at her and.

Put his hand on his hip when he said that Cardi do it. I don't want to know what all said, hitless, look like all at the head. We'd like to live by cash. Leave to the young boys, you know what I'm saying.

I see.

They got kids together. I want to be able to work it out and be able to still, you know, move on.

But I don't want to. I don't want, even though I'm happy Cardi is doing her own thing, only because you still got raised kids, don't.

I don't want.

I mean, I don't want Carti to do that because even though she's out doing her own thing, and I understand how she feels about off set, they still got raised some kids together, got kids.

It's a lot, you know what I mean?

Why the extra Nama girl.

Just but but he keep on like poking at her though, like he's poking that. Ever since he's been seeing her out having fun, moving on whatever with whoever, it is, like he had been poking. Yeah, he's been trying to Yeah, and even dragging his nuts all over you know what.

I mean her, Yeah, she could do that.

Put the molds up, I mean, put them bitches out there.

But that's just gonna make all set look good depending on who the girls.

No, it's not.

Because depending on how close they are to her industry wise, like if they in her vicinity too much, you're gonna look crazy because your wife is crazy.

Me he do.

Wasn't whole her down.

I just pray somebody can get in between and and be like, look, we got kids, Like the kids can see this. Everything is online right now, let's work this out.

Queen.

It's tired.

Envy, they tired.

Yeah, I don't like seeing their drama play out online. Man' luth at cardy. I hope that you'll figure it out.

Shut up. You just say that was a political plane. Do it in the music.

Put it in a music. You can tell me, just text me, let me by casually through that.

For real?

Right, I could see that one all right?

Yeah, that's just with you, man SR.

When we come back, we got Front Page News and then Will Packer will be joining us.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, you're checking out the Breakfast Club.

Hoping everybody is dj NVY just hilarious charlamage the gud We are the breakfast club.

Let's get in some front page news.

Listen, what's up we're talking about. We're getting updates on what's happening in aviation. You see left and right, there's all kinds of incidents. So nearly three hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees have been fired by the Trump administration.

The employees got their notices over the.

Weekend and a move to call their union in a move their union calls a hastily made decision and an agency already challenged by understaffing. Now the workers affected include mechanics, aviation safety assistants, and others.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted.

On Monday on x that less than four hundred of the agency's forty five thousand employees were let go and they were all probationary. He said none of them were air traffic controllers and critical personnel. Now this comes at the same time officials say two people remain hospitalized following Monday's plane crash in Toronto. Twenty one people were injured in the incident at Toronto Pearson Airport and airport president Deborah Flint said the rescue operation was a huge success.

She talked more about the incident. Let's hear from her.

Urgency workers and responders mounted a text book response, reaching the site within minutes and quickly evacuating the passengers. At the time, there were twenty one injured passengers, ranging from miner minor to critical but not life threatening injuries. A total of night eighteen passengers went to the hospital local hospitals, with two more going to hospitals in the time period after we have completed the reunification process for all of the remaining passengers.

Yeah.

So the Regional Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis was carrying eighty people aboard. Official safe first responders and the plane's crew of course, like she mentioned, issued a executed a textbook response and the plane will remain on the scene at the airport for the next forty eight hours as investigators continue to look into the cause of the crash.

But again, we'll keep you posted.

I don't want to get too ahead of myself in regards to what caused that crash.

Yeah, it was anna ask, they said. In the video you can see the plane actually catches on fire as soon as it lands. So they don't know what the reason. Was it emergency landing or it was just a regular did they say?

Or no?

Still not to yet again they.

From what I've heard so far is that the landing up until the point of impact was pretty normal, really yeah, and then there was it was almost like all of a sudden, they were on their side and then upside down. So again, it does appear if you look at the video like the landing gear may have been compromised or one of the wheels of the plane, which could have

You guys posted.

So in foreign affairs, President Trump is blaming Ukraine for starting the war.

Now.

Speaking for mar A Lago, Trump said he thinks he has the power to end the war and he thinks it's going very well. But he heard, oh well, we weren't invited, and well, he went on to say, well, you've been there for three years, adding you should have you shouldn't have started it, and you could have made a deal. He's referencing Ukraine. He's talking about President Ukrainian President Zelenski. So this comes as the first piece talks between the US and Russia have in the Russian.

War in Ukraine are done.

Secretaries of State mark Or Rubio and other US officials met with a Russian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. He says the US one to move quickly with the peace talks in the Russia Ukraine War. Let's hear more from a Secretary of State Marco Rubia.

We're going to appoint a high level team from our end to help negotiate and walk work through the end of the conflict in Ukraine in a way that's enduring and acceptable to all the parties engaged. We're going to point our teams respective their work very quickly to re establish the functionality of our respective missions in Washington and in Moscow. For US to be able to continue to move down this road, we need to have diplomatic facilities that are operating and functioning normal.

Yeah, I would agree.

I think it's a little counterintuitive that Rubio is overseas having these peace talks while Trump is at home talking about, yeah, you should have started a deal and blaming Ukraine for starting a war that you know they were once invaded side by.

The way, that's insanity though, Like you know, you can't have peace talks if you don't have both countries that sabea like that basically means like you know, you've given Russia whatever it is that they want, yep, and you're deciding you're deciding Ukraine's feed for them.

That's right, So ukraining him for President Zelensky, he did say that his government didn't know anything about the talks, and he said that he will not accept a peace deal that is made without his country's involvement.

Fair enough, switching gears to me.

Said, I don't believe that he won't accept something.

If there's a deal that's made, you know, and it brings peace to the country, I don't think that he, you know, will not accept it just because he wasn't at the table, because I.

Mean, what if it is a good deal. I don't know if it will be, but what if it is yeah.

Fair enough and switch In just this last little story I thought was really interesting because we're always talking about, you know, who could be president?

Who could be next? Steven A. Smith?

He is considering running for president kind of. I won't get too much into the semantics of it. Let's just listen to this audio.

Although I have absolutely positively no desire to be a politician, because shaking hands and kissing babies ain't my thing, being a professional beggar looking for donors, looking for campaign dollars, looking for elected officials to try to curry favor with them so I can get what I want legislatively and beyond.

Although I have no desire to do any of those.

Things, I do have an insatiable desire one day, when I'm more qualified, as I really dig my heels into this stuff, to be on a stage debating presidential candidates for the United States of America.

And in order to do that, I would have to be a candidate. What do you guys think about that?

He may not be the ideal candidate, but it further speaks to your point, Charlemagne, that maybe the non traditional politicians are actually in demand.

What do you think, you know the Washington Post called me about this yesterday, man, and you know, I'll repeat what I said. That's just Stephen A is a great media personality. I respect who he is and that s face tremendously. I hope ESPN makes him the highest paid person at the network because he deserves it. But when it comes to him being president, Look, you never know

That's the whole conversation that he's having. He's saying people are coming up to him actually saying it to him, or even a president. So he's saying, where are we as a country if whatever sport's broadcaster is being considered running for president.

Comes Well, what happened was one of Donald Trump's old posters actually put his name in a poll and like he came back with like two percent of the people said that they would vote for him.

I think that was done purposely.

I think it was done to be a distraction, and I think that you know, when I saw Hakim Jeffries asked about it, and I wish Hakim didn't even entertain.

It because they're a big offisher fry.

Like you know we talked about earlier, twelve thousand federal workers laid off because of Elon Musk unelected. You know, official controls, how the government pays everybody. With Elon Musk again, social security will probably be on the chopping block next all because this country decided oligarky is better than democracy.

Maybe not him, but you do you think that non traditional politicians should somebody should step up, non tradition someone The.

Only non traditional, the only, yes, the only non traditional person that I would love to see in that field is John Stewart.

Literally, everybody, we got to get back to business. I don't want to got the knowledge base.

I don't want to see no more celebrity in chiefs and let John Stewart desire if he wants to take a real stab at it.

I don't want to see no celebrity in chiefs, all right, No celebrity and chiefs. No more first buddies. All right, that's your front page news of Worgan.

Y'all have a good one all right now, Thank you Morgan. When we come back, Will Packer will be joining us. He has a new book, Who Better Than You? The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big is out now. It's the Breakfast Slug Good Morning, the Breakfast.

Club Morning everybody.

It's j n V.

Just hilarious. Charlamagne the God we.

Are the Breakfast Club La La Rosa is here as well. We got a special guest in the building, his new book, Who Better Than You, The of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big is out now.

Ladies and gentlemen, Will Packer family, what's going on? How are Black and Hold? How you feeling? I'm feeling amazing. You know I'm up here.

I'm up here with one of the most incredible platforms in media right now. Interesting time in media, you know media, ebbs and flow. We're in an EBB right now. In the movie business, Charlottagne. You know, yeah, just you know, coming off the strikes, coming off of COVID, like, the

Media companies are making a lot less. So it's interesting time in the business man.

Who better than You is the name of the book? What makes you decide to write this?

Yo?

You know, I have been in the movie game for almost thirty years now, and I have dealt with some of the biggest names, some of the most impressive successful people, some of the most toxic, insecure people, and throughout that process, I have gained a set of skills that I want to share with people about how you can be successful and manifest the more full life, how you can use some of the skills that I've learned that are transferable

But it's really lessons, right, it's lessons.

About this is how you deal with people, how you position yourself to succeed, and how.

You have healthy arrogance. Now to be confused with toxic arrogance.

Right, Toxic arrogant walks in the room and says, I'm better than everybody here.

I'm gonna win because you're gonna lose. Right, I'm better than you.

Healthy arrogance walks in a room and says, okay, number one, I belong in this room.

Right.

The most successful people feel that they don't feel like am I supposed to be here with all these important people. Healthy arrogance feels like I'm supposed to be here. However, I also have something to add to this room. This room is better because I'm in it, and I'm going to get other people to understand how they and I

You know, when I read about you talk about healthy arrogance or hear your interviews about healthy arro against it feels like you're saying you just got it.

It's like a sense of worthiness. It's value.

It is.

It is very much understanding the value to place on yourself, right, Charlotte Man, Because you talk about mental health a lot, we.

All have this drum beat in our head, right.

It can be a negative drum beat of I'm not ready, I'm not worthy, I don't have the skills, I'm not prepared.

More and more you tell yourself that, the louder those voices get.

But there's a confidence muscle that you can build that you can grow by telling yourself the exact opposite that I am worthy, right, that I am prepared, But it's really about assigning value. The thing I say to people is that understand, from the time you are born and to the time you leave this earth, you are building your brand everything you do, right, I mean, you can't make mistakes.

Everybody does.

But every decision you make in everything you do is building your brand, and it is telling people what value to assign to you. Whether that's somebody that is looking to invest in you, looking to date you, looking to just hang out with you, you are telling them what your value is. And you have to be healthily arrogant in the way that you force other people to recognize your value.

Damn. Yeah.

So if you don't have nobody, that means you know, we're well, you know, I'm not gonna say that. You mean like a relationship, Well, that just means that you have to be sure that you're surrounding yourself with people that understand your value. It might mean that you're worth more than people want to give you credit for talking about. It might mean you're single because other people don't recognize your value and you're not willing to compromise for you have something.

To say latte.

What dog won't they.

Coming this way? The sassiness caught me off. God, is that what it is? Are you with your hair back?

I was asking you a question because I like what you're talking about. Okay, all right, well, yes, absolutely so if some you know, somebody happens to be an amazing, beautiful single sister. I don't know you know the relationship status of everybody here, but let's just say present company.

Why Well, because she said you had a sassy.

Next, so she is. She is immediately the most entertaated person at this.

I want to ask you about imposter syndrome. Yeah, and when did that? Like, when did you get past that? Where did you deal with that at all?

Yourself?

I absolutely deal with everybody deals with Everybody gets to a point where they feel like, yo, do I belong right? Do I deserve to be in the most important spaces? And I've been very, very fortunate to be in some incredible rooms with some people that are, you know, some of the most powerful people from around the world. As I said, what I realize is that when I'm walk in those rooms, I cannot question if I'm supposed to be there. I need to realize what is it that

Right?

So black man, African American, Film, American, Hollywood, not a lot of folks at my level in the rooms that I'm in.

Oftentimes it's all white people in those rooms.

What I choose to do instead of saying, Okay, I'm the only black person in this room.

I know they race, i know they're looking at me a certain way. I know they have a negative perception.

I'm walking in the room and I'm thinking, Okay, you know what, I'm bringing something that nobody else can bring. When I talk about my perspective, when I talk about my audience, when I talk about my community, nobody else can debate me on that because I'm the only one with that lived experience. Whatever it is in the rooms and the circles that you're in, what's the unique thing that you have, and then you triple down on that

It's something that you can.

Build, but you do have to build it by putting a success with a success with a success, right Like just like hey baum deg said, check with a check, with a check, you got to build the successes. And sometimes to do that you got to come back and not say, Okay, my first success has to be so big, right, just accomplish something. I call it fabricating momental. I believe that sometimes we get stuck on the first rung, the very first thing I'm trying to get started. I don't

Right, that's a lot. That's a momentous task.

Make the first thing by the shoes hiking boost, then buy a rope, then drive by the mountain and look at it. Well, you know you've done three things right, Get started. Do something that helps to build that confidence we all need that.

We got more with Will Packer when we come back.

His new book Who Better Than You, The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, is out now is the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning, everybody is dej envy just hilarious. Charlamagne thea God we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Will Packer.

Lauren, you have a chapter in the book.

I think it's chapter twenty Yeah, chapter twenty one. All you Need is one white guy. Yeah, get into that chapter a little bit, because I know you just mentioned being the only in the room and kind of dealing with that, like talk to us a bit of putting that chapter in why and kind of what your experience has been and why you titled it.

Yeah, the chapter Sometimes all you need is one white guy.

And it's actually the irony of it is that I'm saying that what you need is an advocate.

Right.

Everybody he does nobody.

I don't care who they are, how successful they are, nobody does it by themselves.

What I'm saying is that your person may not be white, may not be a guy.

Right.

And so when I came into Hollywood, there was a white executive. It was a white gay executive. He used to tell me that he felt like he was trapped in the body of a black woman. I said, okay, his name was Clint Culpepper. I said, Clint, first of all, don't tell nobody else that executive all and can get you some therapy to unpack that. But he was somebody that was an advocate. He was he didn't play spakas. He didn't he didn't go to FAM you or nothing

What can you do for me?

The best way to get help and the best way to find your advocate? Right, your quote unquote one white guy. I don't care what it looked like. It could look like Charlotte Mane could look like just it doesn't matter. The point is to get that one person. You gotta add value to them, make them look smart, figure out what it is that they need, and then once you were able to help them, they're gonna want to continue to help you. Right, This guy wanted to make movies

Don't just think about what can you do for me? What can you do for me?

No, that's not how the people at the top level thing. Did he get out your way? Did he let you create? Or he absolutely did? Yeah, and it became a very semiotic relationship. It was a two way street, right, So he was he went out and got financing from Sony Pictures for the movie someone Early like if you look at my think a Man's no good deeds, obsessed Takers. Anybody remembers those movies? Those are all movies that open number one at the box off. Those are movies that

Now, your book is motivational and inspirational, right, but it leans on comedy too. You love comedy because the interesting thing is the back the quotes you got quick quotes from Kevin Isa, Kerry Washing.

What made you do that?

It just quote is that I did not authorize Will Packard, used my name in this book and did it anyway.

It tells you all you need to know about Will Packard. That's one hundred percent truth.

All those quotes are truth because I come with Kevin pretty hard, and and so he said, you know what, I don't have to like this and I don't have to laugh at it. So if you look at the quotes, I reached out of my industry friends and I said, just be honest. Steve Harvey's quote is by my book first and then by Will.

That's hilarious.

You know what I'm saying.

That's very much how Steve as. But you know, for me, it is a lot of it is told through humor, It's told through comedy. I have had an incredible career. I look back and I can't believe it's been thirty years in the game. I can't believe I've had the success I've had. That is because of the people listening to the show. It's because of you all and me come on the show.

It's because of the support of that audience. But the reality telling it.

Now I can look back with levity and with light, and now I'm saying, Okay, learn from what I went through.

You know what I'm saying, learn from that moment when.

Kevinhart left me on the set of Ride Alone to go shoot a stand up special and almost sunk the whole movie.

You know what I mean.

I don't want to hear you talk bad about Kevin no more after reading chapter twenty two, Rush's chapter if all those fails open the fruit stand benefits of Phelies.

And I don't want to give it all the way.

Yeah, but I'll just say, you got into Jamaica with an inspired passport. I snuck into a foreign country, and you called Shla to fix that problem for you. Going into a country with an expired passport and feelessness is criminal. It was not the smartest thing I've ever done. Criminal And I just started shout out to Sheila. It was, you know what the point of that when you read.

That chapter, sir, is sometimes you can get away with crimes. No, that is not the point of it, And that is not what it was. It was the fact that I was first.

It was one of my first dates with this new woman that I had met and met this amazing woman named Heather, and you you know what it was just we got to the counter and my passport was expired. Because with a passport, you know it's like seven eight years or something. Right, That's good, but that's also the problem. You don't think about it.

I got to that counter and they said my passport was inspired.

This is my first trip out of town and I'm trying to be impressive, and she looking at me like, oh, I'm with that guy. I'm with the guy that don't even have an active passport and don't check this stuff out and you will pack it.

I what.

So I was like, I got to figure this out, so I do tell the story about how I snuck in. The bad thing was that I was able to get out of America, and I didn't think about the fact that once I got into the country, my passport was still expired and I would have preferred to be in American jail versus a Jamaican jail Arctic. So I kind of didn't think it all the way through. But here's the point. We all have situations, right. Life is hard where we have to then decide after we are in

You had to go hard because her group chats. You ain't wanted to tell her friends?

No, definitely not, But I locked that down after she's my wife. Now that head that she is here with me right now. Did you tell your friend yes, whether you were an accomplished I just want you to know that you can.

Oh yeah, Hea, Heather, definitely yeah. She had to flirt with the Jamaican dude help us get into the country. I don't want to say no, no, I did. I definitely. I definitely threw my wife out there. That's not one of my proudest moments. I said, maybe you gotta do what you gotta do. When Kevin wanted to go do his standing up and go to the party, yes, we heard that. It was completely irresponsible. Do not try to defer in that man. He was irresponsible. He knew exactly

Come on, man, woman of your career life with the Heather you fifteen years later?

It was, it was, and it panned out.

And one thing I would say about keV if anything, he works too hard, it wasn't malicious in what he did.

He overbooked because he does work too hard. And that's the other thing.

The most successful people who have accomplished things that you may look and say, how do I get there?

The only difference between them and you is just that they haven't stopped. That's it.

They just keep going. They've made all kinds of mistakes, right, They've had to pivot. And I always say, giving up and quitting are two different things. Never ever ever give up. But you can quit, right. You might be doing something the wrong way.

You might need to quit. Everybody I know that's really successful.

Has quit doing something some way and pivoted the power of the pivot.

Never give up, all right? We got more with Will Packer when we come back.

It's the Breakfast Club, good morning pointing. Everybody is tj Envy just hilarious charlamage. The God we are the Breakfast Club Lone, the Roaster's here with us as well. We're still kicking it with Will Packer book Who Better Than You, The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, is out now, Chelamaane.

I want to get to the art of the pivot, but first I want to ask you about the chapter that says, stay in your lane.

Yeah, just just make it wide, lean into your thing? Yes?

How does one avoid being typecasted by leaning into their thing? And when do you know the pivot?

Yeah?

You know it.

The whole point of that chapter is about when you have something that you do really really well, because many times people are afraid of being locked into something that people will think that's all I can do, right, But if you do that thing and you do it really really well, do not stop. Okay, don't stop. The most successful people have a thing that they do and they do it well. Then they use the ability to be successful in a lane to go out and do something else.

Right now, I'm able to go and do other things. So don't worry about that. Oh well, I can do so much other stuff. What's the thing you do really.

Well, do that, triple down on that, be the best person in that particular field, and by the way, find your passion within that.

Right.

Too many times people are telling me, well, I'm not passionate about something. I gotta wait to find my passion and before I go out and work really hard. And I'm telling you, you're building your brand from day one. Work hard today.

I didn't have a passion to be a filmmaker, I will admit that, but I was. I did not. That was not my dream growing up.

But I found that I was really good at knowing how to hire actors and raise money and self distribute. And then I found the passion in storytelling later. So I found the thing I was really really good at, and then I found my passion within it. I encourage people to do that and worry about being type passed. Stay in your lane, but you can make it wide. I'm not trying to pigeonhole you, and I'm not trying to limit what you can do, but stay in your lane.

That is just not how humans work. What's the thing you do well, triple down on that.

So once you've leaned into your thing and you find that thing, there's never a pivot from that thing.

It can be a pivot where you use that thing.

You use your ability, you use your brand, you use the fact that you have got credibility in a particular space, you have done the exact same thing. You use the fact that you have credibility in one lane in order to then expand your lane. Right, But it should still all be about this is the thing that I do. That's why I say stay in your lane, but make your lane wide.

Is there ever a time where like you're because I mean, look, I remember when you told the story about Kevin what the last time you guys were here? And now I'm seeing in context of this book of like who better than you? And I feel like in that moment he had the arrogance to be like, I can do both of these. I'm going to be fine, and it's all going to work out. But things like that can kind of get pretty tricky because what if it hadn't have

You have to be honest with yourself number one.

Right, We live in a world where people think either they are too great or they are too awful. Rodger Kipling has a poem called if, and my favorite stanza in that poem is if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same. That is saying that both triumph and disaster are impostors, neither of them are real.

Right.

Too many times, because we post some on social media, everybody tell you, oh my god, you the greatest thing ever?

Is so good? Or the opposite. They just hay, no, you're telling you how offul you are.

Neither of that is true. You gotta stay even keeled. So the first thing you gotta do is be honest about you and your skill set. It's the only way you're gonna get better. Don't worry about external factors. You got to have a very honest conversation. One of the things I talk about in the book is how we have to make sure I'm a daily affirmation type of person.

I don't care what you tell the world.

A lot of yourself, a lot of your mom, a lot of your cousin, a lot of your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife.

Do not lie to yourself. Be very very clear about what it is that you do. Well.

Yeah, you know, I want to talk you about the pack of family model too. If you want to have what others won't you have to do with others don't. Yeah, yeah, you got your mom with you again for her, I got moms, I got you know what. It's something that mom instilled in me.

You know when I was growing up, Mom and dad they took me like you know, like Simmling the lion king and lifted me up and said, you know, whatever the son touches is your son. Like I encourage my folks with kids, do that. Tell your kids because that's when they're the most impressible. Tell them they can do anything. They told me that it so I was.

Very audacious growing up with my family. It's me, my wife. We have four children.

So that's the sixth path. If you want to have what others don't, you have to be willing to do what others won't.

Period. That is the mantra.

The mantra is that understand whatever it is that you want to do, if anybody else can do it, then it's not special. You're not gonna get it right. You're not gonna get something that's unique. You gotta be willing to do what others are not to get that thing. And I believe that the more you do hard things, the better you become at hard things. The more hard things you do, the easier hard things become. So don't run from doing hard things. Don't run from doing the

Why I say dream.

Big because your dream has got to be so big, because they're gonna be challenges along the way. It's gotta be so big that it pushes you past those challenges inevitably. Because if the dream is just a mediocre dream, like man, it'd be kind of cool to do that. Then when you run into a speed bump and that's really hard, you're gonna say, you know what, it ain't worth it.

I'm cool, right, But if the.

Dream is so big, right, I mean so big for color eight four khd, like super crazy beyond your wildless dreams big, then when you do hit that hard moment, those challenges, you know it's worth it to keep going and keep fighting because the dream is big enough.

Is Will Packer allowed to turn his own book into a movie?

Yeah?

Limited, seriously, Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I'm Will Packer.

You know I think about doing it.

I could do that.

I saw Heather in the background this day.

You know what hed to say in the background.

I don't know.

I just saw something.

I was giving a lean like maybe no, don't do it right now or something.

You know what.

I've made this book not to turn into a movie or a TV show. You never say never, because you know, one of my biggest movies is Think Like a Man. Steve Harvey will tell you he never thought of that as a movie, never.

He never wrote it for that.

I wrote this to give the master mentorship that I didn't have people coming to me a lot and saying, tell me about your success story, tell me about your failures, tell me about what you had to overcome.

And so what I tell these stories? Right, and I talk about you know.

Beyonce turning me down five times or in yourselba you know almost not walking the carpet at the first in means and how you get past that? Like when I tell these stories, I'm doing that so that other people can benefit from you.

So I could turn into a movie, but that's not what I made it for.

I literally made this book so that I could influence other folks who are either on their way up, thinking about making a pivot or living a life that they know could be a.

Little more fulfilling. Well, we appreciate you for joining us. Will pack a new book.

Who better than you to all the healthy arrogance and dreaming big out right now? Always a pleasure to see you go out there and by this book making the New York Times bestseller. Massreciate your found I appreciate you man, thank you, thank you all for having me. Charlae Mann, and thank you because you're somebody that you know and

It's Will Packer, It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Jess with the messag up.

There, just wanting everybody's ej NV, Jesse, Larry Chelamine, the guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess.

You is real.

Weather is just Carrobbor Moore just don't do no lines, don't do that talky talk those stations world why Jess worldwide messments.

On the breakfast Clubs. He's the coach of ship.

She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that.

Nobody could get you to see this time to set it off.

So Drake is on toy. He been having Tantrum's girl. He's been doing all types of acts. He's been, you know, trying to prove that he's not dead. He's very much alive. It's a lot going on. I don't even know why though, I mean, but he is charting.

So I am gonna give him that.

Yes, he's charting. That is exactly where I was about to go. I don't know why because at this point, I know we talked about it here and I know y'all don't care but sex, some sexy songs for you. But the boy is moving. He is right now some sexy songs for you. It is supposed to be headed to number one on Billboard.

Uh, congratulations, nice, nice, big.

That's a big thing for him, because I feel like I'm not even gonna lie. I feel like the Kendrick goggles of not like us has changed the way I even which is so unfair.

It's still a superstar he still has. He's still gonna hit number one on all those charts.

I got the.

Labels calling saying, what song you know it should be at radio. So even through the lawsuit, I know, but last week.

It's hard to not look at some of the things and then like to see what he's doing, and then you just immediately think back to some of Kendrick's lyrics, like remember he was like I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, even the way that you dress.

Yeah, people talking about his outfits and I'm like, that's crazy because I know, even the stuff he's been doing on tour, so like the shoot there was like one one girl wasn't want to do and the.

Jersey evening the shooting things.

But that's what I'm saying, he said to myself. I'm like, but he's been doing this.

It was the same thing with the outfits.

He's been doing the outfits to no, no, no, he used to dress a little bit the them funny outfits in the matching outfits with the bright colors.

He would do them.

I ain't never seeing where a T shirt that said where do you see my d in the arrow point in his mind?

I mean probably not that exact T shirt, but that that was the T shirt that it was, what do you see mine?

Pointed, Ja, There's no arrow pointing to it he was. That wasn't on stage. That was he was walking around.

I've never seen him with a hoodie on with smoke coming from the holes like I just you know.

I think even though you know that's headed up the charts. I know, give me a hug hit number one on like us like an Apple Music chart as well, too, amazing. Yeah, I do think that the Kendrick lamar not like us. Effect is a thing because even he posted, well he there was a video of like a drone that was flying around. I think it was just like a promotional ad low key for Drake and Steak, which is where he don't have sports gambling.

Even when I saw that, I'm like, why are you doing all that? It's like we've we've then I been taking off, But he did.

He did these stupid videos before, you know what I mean, and everybody loved it before they he always he would always do these stupid videos conversations.

Like the workout.

I wanted to show some love because the music is charting.

I don't know, does it sounds like love ahead.

First of all, y'all are having a conversation about Drake. That's been going on since the beginning of time. Drake has always charted and he's always been corning.

I ain't never said I.

Honestly, just now, to be honest with you, we weren't considering him.

Some girls are like Drake had over.

One's a Drake hater, but he's always done them stupid commercials like him working out and and act like he's listening to music.

He's listening to Taylor Swift as he works out. He's always done these. And he also he has a huge fan base. Even even whether or not Kendrick Lamar won the rap battle, we know that, and he's still charging it with Drake still has a base.

Yeah, yeah, wow and other.

News exactly because he gives out birkens and were gonna leave him alone.

He ain't giving us one.

I got one, should know, No Drake from Drake his birthday party, Yeah, we gave you one. He literally raffles him off for his birthday party. We didn't want getting another one because you're sitting next to the biggest hate.

So he just gave you one.

He raffles them. He gave him five that night.

No, I don't believe that. I swear. My sister used to.

Dance for him on the Scorpions tour and I went to his birthday party.

That's it's no little sister, have you ever been to drakes sister? Tell us now.

I went to Drake's birthday party and he gave away five Chanel bags that night, and I was one of my I didn't think it was real. I even went up to them and was like, yo, what is going on? And They're like, we do this all the time. I don't have it today, but you have seen it before. It's the big boy, the great one.

Okay okay, oh yeah.

No it's not.

She got a but no, she got the bitch.

Now that's the one. I told her.

I like, I do like it anywhere New Year's So she said that with British British Vogue, and when she was up here, she asked her question and she looked like, what are you talking to or what? I'm sorry, I shouldn't.

It was something like that, Okay, yes, so Tyler, but I know, I know, you said.

Okay.

So Tyler was here at the Breakfast Club and she was asked the question about how she identifies as a black woman or not. She recently brought this back up when she was speaking to British Vogue. Let's take a listen to though, what happened when she came here to the breakfast club.

Poo me on these debates that they be having about your identity as a South African colored person, what does that even mean?

Can we yeah?

Can we not?

Oh?

I like that we're keeping that in the interview too.

I like when they talk from.

The back and say we can't.

I like that even better.

Tyler wasn't that bad, wasn't man that baby with that neck around like, uh, he asked me a.

Question that we said don't ask.

By the way, the label made that bad. Okay, because the label came in here and said, don't ask these questions. Of course I'm going to ask that, but we told we told the label that we was going to ask the questions. And look how I asked the question. I said, school me going her an opportunity too. It was polite, you said it nice. It wasn't an attack and didn't even and then it.

Was like twelve things on the list we couldn't talk about, and it was like, damn, what else can we ask?

You know?

But when she sat down with British Vogue in context, like in you know, fullness of the conversation, she was talking about, you know, just her career and representing where she's from and you know, just how she's been handling all of that and what representation is like for her and why she doesn't feel the pressure to do so anymore. And they brought up the interview and they said that the interview basically like made the matter kind of worse, and they asked her, you know, why didn't she answer?

Could have answered that here. Charlamagne didn't ask it a negative way. She could have just answered just like that. It's true.

In South Africa, it was a lot of segregation. It was a lot of things going on in the past and all that stuff. And she she's still young, but ever since she was a little girl, you know, she's been called colored and she get overhead and we can't more about the actual color you are than.

Just being colored, you know. So it's just it's cultural differences. But she definitely could have said it.

She's probably more prepared to answer it now.

Yeah, I think.

I think she might have been nervous about how she would be challenged in this room versus the definitely British Vogue is a little bit more. But they're not going to in it's print.

Said school on you didn't test.

She would be very honest, it is. This is a very intimidating room depending on who you are coming here. And people do come you know, they come up here nonetheless, but they come up here just like sometimes people might come up here on edge and until they realize how cool that you are and and that you're not this ugly person, you know what I'm saying on.

The inside, Yeah, on the whole face.

Yeah, you're not right. Then they'd be like, okay, you not.

So by the way, laur you look better that FA know, but listen, you know you today right. We do this all the time whenever guests come up. Whenever guests come up here, I guests have things that we don't want them to ask. It's up to us whether or not we say yes or no to the request. That literally happened yesterday. There was a person that called and said, hey, I want to come up, but I don't want to

That's nothing, that's right, well breaking news, Oh my god, break it real quick.

Girl.

Cassie is pregnant.

That's not breaking. That was on the stream. Man go your way. Man popped up about an hour, like an hour like I used to wear so club. You're like into the breakfast club.

I wanted to know how you came up with them.

Don't be a name because you mean.

There's a bunch of donkeys do that is what I remember life where we might are tongue based off Coolie may have fined he never was saying on the Breakfast Club.

In the words of Charlemagne, to God, he's a donkey, ah Man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey the day to who now.

Donkey of today for Wednesday, February nineteenth goes to Terrell Ephron known as asap Rally. Now, I never heard of a brother before this case with Asaf Rocky. If you haven't heard, by the way, Asaf Rocky was facing two felony councils assault with a firearm in connection with this altercation that happened with a sap Rally.

But yesterday he was acquitted of shooting a Savarell. He found not guilty on all charges. Let's go to the ABC News Florry fourth place.

Asap Rocky, he was looking at more than two decades behind bars if he had been found guilty. So if we put ourselves in his shoes, it's easy to understand the amount of emotion and joy and relief we saw from him when the verdict was handed down not guilty, relief and joy as Asaf Rocky heard not guilty. The rapper whose real name is Racki Meyers literally leaping into

This whole experience has been crazy for the past four years.

But I'm thankful.

Nonetheless, I'm thankful and this we're blessed to be here right now, to be a freeman token to y'all.

Thank you, all praise.

Due to God, travel to clues bombs with Asab rock with all praises do to God. Why didn't keep calling him Rakim? I thought it was rock Kim. Can't he name after rock him rock hem Eh? And he keeps saying Rakkim.

But let's be clear, Asavrelli was just trying to get paid, all right, more and nothing less.

And this is the world that we live in. When you are a personal statue, you know, some celebrity people think you got some paper, you will always look like a walking lick to those folks, which is why my advice to everyone who got something.

To lose isolation. All right, put your boundaries up, stay within your circle. Everybody that's not within that circle is dangerous.

And as we see in this case, sometimes people in your circle are dangerous most of the time, the most dangerous.

Now, I know this type of betrail has been going on since the beginning of time. But we really in a suite happy world, and you got folks like Asaf Relly who are looking for a quick payday and.

They don't care who they lie on to get it.

Now, the reason Asaf rally is getting donkey other day is because he can't even rat. Right, all right, Relly, you just on the stand and got caught lion every which way. I mean, you took the standing, just live, live, lied every which way you could possibly think of. I'm talking up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, press B, press A, press art.

Oh, Relly, you need all the lives you can get. Okay, you got to understand and tried to take Rocky out. But you're spinning the wind. And now you the one would talk two on your chin.

Okay.

According to Rocky's defense, you committed perjury, all right, allegedly, Okay. Some of your mistruths. According to TMC in the New York Times, included you denying shooting guns at the firing range in LA only to be confronted with video of you shooting guns at a firing range in LA. Rocky's lawyer asap Joe what's his name, Tacopina? Asap Joe Tacopina, I think too, Tocopoena. He thinks you're allying so much

Okay.

In fact, you said you wanted to try to shake Rocky down for money in a certain way because you didn't want to be accused of extortion.

Can we listen to that call.

All right.

Away?

Another island.

Just relax, You get what I'm saying.

They're gonna scrambling ki because now.

They have to up against Rocky the same.

Indeed, they have evidence and.

That they need the same when we present to a jury and you don't have a complaining witness.

Now this call was presented in court, and listen to what really said about the calls.

You guys just keep playing faith Audio two like face Up I never said none of that to him.

It doesn't even make sense.

It was in that moment that the jurors made up their mind. Okay, between this and the fact that the weapon Rocky had was a prop gun. By the way, Rocky, don't ever do that. Why are you walking around with a prop gun for protection?

Okay?

How's that gonna scare somebody? All right, especially somebody with a real gun? What if they quicker on the drawed in you? What if they pull the airs while you pull you off? Then what you're rich? Higher armed security.

But listen, really, the moral of the story is y'all needgros watch too much power. Okay, matter of fact, you not even power, you empire. You wasn't even trying to be realistic. Really, Okay, if Relly was a GPS, you'd never reach your destination. It'd be just a bunch of wrong turns and detours. He's the friend that tells you he's five minutes away and hasn't even left the house.

Yet, just lying for no reason.

And really you found out firsthand what happens when you put your hand on a bible in lie.

Rocky found not.

Guilty, but you Oh no, no, no, you wasted the DA's time playing around. Somebody gotta go to jail. Okay, why not the guy who allegedly may have committed perdrie. Why not the guy who allegedly was trying to extort their friend for thirty million dollars rally. You said they was gonna be scrambling to find you on an island. Well, I think that in the future that island's gonna be richers. Okay, Please let riby Ma give Terrell efren aka asap rally the biggest he.

Hull hee ha hee ha, you stupid mother?

Are you dumb boy? People can lie?

He should be prosecuted. That's crazy if us found persuring.

Prosecuting and words can lie for no reason. Can't do because people gotta stop that?

What?

All right? Well, thank you for that, donkey. Who I tell you.

I'm lying though, and I tell you trust me even though I'm lying, Okay, And I tell you that you should believe me even when I'm lying tomorrow of the stories I'm telling you I'm lying.

All right, Well, let's open up the phone line. Thank you for that, donkey.

To day eight hundred five eight five five one is a new study and the study says forty percent of women claim they avoid having children out of fear of becoming a single mother.

About three years ago. It was me and my son's father. I have a son, and we had just had a son and everything was going good until I had a child. You know, he would you know, call out of work for like stupid reasons. So after I have my son, I had to get back to work. I was working cent hours shifts at Amazon, and I would come home, you know, kids not fed, and he's.

Just on the games to a shelter.

I couldn't do it. I couldn't take care of a third child who's supposed to be a grown man. And it was extremely hard.

You know, I had suic title throughts and everything, but I got through it. I left the relationship, and it's hard.

It's still hard, but I.

Feel like it's better than you know, having a grown a grown man. It's extremely tough, you know, So shout out to all.

Eight hundred five five one oh five one.

We're talking about family work balance women, How difficult is it for you to work their moms? Man, Just salute to y'all. I knew that there was a lot of y'all out there, man, but you know they go through a lot of that. Woman says she had a lump in her thought fans that she had a lumper. Just talking about it. I see Jeff getting emotion on what she talking about?

Fake as eight five five five one. Let's discuss it's the breakfast club. Bret's say.

If y'all talking about it, you know we talking it's topic times called eight hundred five eight five one five one to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody ins thej en Vy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne, the gud We are the breakfast club. If he's just joining us, we're talking about family work balance. How difficult is it for women especially single women out there trying to do this all on their own with taking your calls.

Eight hundred five eight five one five.

One guess's talking about how difficult it is with her doing comedy and the breakfast.

Yeah, and then one thing is like write.

Another thing is writing comedy, Yo, writing comedy, and then writing a book, and then also just trying to keep up with like the internet, with the whole skit thing, like you know, cause I used to do way more skits. It's like, Yo, it's never enough time in a day to do all of that stuff because I have to You gotta write the skiss. You just can't just do it.

You gotta write it.

You know.

I used to be able to just do it.

Like things come to my mind, but with my mind being on so many other things, no, things just don't pop in my mind. No more jokes, know, So I have to sit down and like meditate to write new jokes and figure out what I'm gonna talk about when I get u up here, when I get up here, and then content just and I don't know, you never feel like you're doing enough.

How much material comes from your real life now, like you know, your family, all of it, dating a Mexican.

Yes, all of that, having a new baby at thirty two versus when I was nineteen when I got pregnant with Ash, and then just being the person who don't want to talk on a phone to nobody no more, because everybody wants something. And then even when they don't want nothing, they got problems they want to hear. They want you to hear them.

Vent and it's like you ain't dealing with everything, yo, Like damn, they take that.

Just fix my mess very seriously. And I love for people to do that because that is an outlet where I can, you know, help people, but damn ask me how I'm doing.

To fix you up. Definitely. We got Lola on the line.

Lola, good morning, Good morning, DJOK.

Good morning. Talk to us.

Well, the probable was about finding the balance, right, And I think the key to finding balance is making time for yourself. Because I have three kids, so it's hard to find time to do things for myself, and you know, we get so caught up and busy and rushing around

Isn't it even harder when you got a new board.

No, because even if you go away to get your head done and you know you lactating and your breast start to get hurt, hurt, and you can't wait to get back to them to feed them, and you know they can't wait for you to get home because they won't eat.

Right.

Planning and properly planning, I guess we will be another key. So you know, you want to make sure that you had that milk ready before you go to your appointment, so you pumped before you go. So I guess planning will also be the balance.

Sometimes it ain't even all about the planning. I've been in the chair and had to pump while I was in the chair, you know what I mean with other people in the hassalon, like sometimes you can plan for things, but it don't go as planning.

Like you know, NICKI good morning, good morning, how you feel and talk to us? We're talking work, family, balance.

This morning, being a single parent.

I think you never find the worst balance I was. I got married in twenty twelve, my husband's parson waking in twenty eighteen, and I've been a single parent basically ever since. And I think that does weigh heavy on women being afraid of having kids and being single because I never intended to not have a husband. So yeah, it was a blow to the family and it still is every day dealing with it. So I think I learned different techniques as I go, but I don't think we ever figure it out.

Yeah, thank you, Nikki.

Hold on, you sound like did I miss it?

I missed?

What happened to the husband?

He got locked up?

He got locked up?

Well, yep, yep, how you got nineteen years?

Damn Jesus, how long you did?

Yeah?

So, so he's been gone since.

It's best seven years now.

Wow, hold your head up? Yeah about that? All right?

Well?

Is there mold to the story? Gosh?

I mean, I mean, I think there's no such thing as a mom who has it all together and that's okay.

Yeah, yeah, No matter how much money you got, how much help you got, you know, you have to just do your best to stayment mentally fit, because like you definitely would go crazy with a bunch of money and a bunch of people around you, Like you still just have to always make sure that you're getting some time for yourself.

You gotta take care of yourself for sure.

You haven't been able to do drugs where you want to know, you know what I'm saying.

No, although I did shrim on my birthday and that was like a clarity thing, Like it was like I am doing something right, I am, you know, because I don't stream just to you know, have fun, Like I get a lot of clarity when I stam to yeah, you know, And I got.

A lot of clarity with that trip, like absolutely, like a lot.

But I also laughed, and you know, we played around me and Chris like we streamed together, and I got exactly what I needed from that that shroom trip.

So yeah, all right, to all the moms out there and all the fellas out there, we said this before, make sure you support. If you can't make sure there, make sure you understand because we cannot do what then women can do when it comes to work balance, as Charlamage say, charlamone min and this lack taking things right now, I don't know, but you've been in the milky thing, but definitely support.

My wife had four kids. I know how hard that is.

You know what I'm saying, just sitting up here four all of the time, I ain't seen it. I haven't seen her pump yet, but I know she do because.

Now I'm more I'm want to schedule now with it four thirty and then I pump at twelve because it's it's longer time than between now because I'm not making as much as I was making. So I just I pumped three times a day.

Now, that's that.

We appreciate you busting your ass.

Thank you.

All right, we got just with the mess coming up? What were talking about?

Oh my good Cassie is having a baby, biggest news of the day. Oh my goodness, Yes, right, who would expect it?

She don't spend nobody world why Jess worldwide Massin on the Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shot and she was able to.

Could get you to see.

This's time to set it off. So Cassie is on baby number three? Oh my god. Yes, she got so much money. She gave more kids in the Canada.

So that's what's Congratulations Cassie and her husband. What is herhusbands name, Alex Fine, Alex Fine, Alex Fine. Yet the baby number three she's supposed on Instagram with the belly and the other kids. In the photo, it's a blue heart, so I'm I'm assuming it's a boy. Congratulations to her.

But in other love news, Kyle Kuzma Winnie Harlowe also got engaged. Congratulations time as well to someone that slide that on the there. Since we're talking about love, Davis to take a hard right turn.

Did we ever find out remember when when he had said that thing about.

You on Instagram?

She was like, just because she said, I said so her spies, Yeah yeah, yeah, and uh I did I went back and I did say.

Something, but it wasn't bad.

It wasn't nothing bad.

And then she said like she was just playing, and it just seemed like she was more aggresive because she was intoxicated. But she said she was joking. She didn't really take that serious anyway. But I just I called a patchy madgie or something like that. It was, it was, it was very harmless. It was all right, though, you know, the.

Congratulations to her.

It was hardless.

Yeah, you know it. She's a cuteie though. I spots her and that spots she's cute hard Right. Where are we going? Where we're going with this?

Oh?

Damn hard right? Damn from Patties? All right, what's going on? What's up?

So?

Uh, Puff's team? After jay Z got this dismissal to happen on the civil side with the allegations of the thirteen year old girl and all that stuff, now Diddy team is like, okay, the windows open, let's jump on in here. There asking for a dismissal, but they're asking for on the criminal side. They're actually they filed docs on Tuesday asking for the judge to dismiss count number three of the US Attorney's case against Puff. The criminal indictment that they have so Act number three talks about

How many men you got to have section to have a man a man.

It used to be called the White Slave Trafficking.

Damn wow, it used to be.

It was changed in June of June twenty fifth, nineteen ten. It was that's when it was passed. But yeah, so it's called the Man Act now it's named after this this guy a man. Yeah he is a man. But anyway, but what Puff is saying is that the reason, the only reason why they included this is because they are being racist because under this act, no black people have ever I mean no white people have ever been prosecuted.

So he's back or the actors, and I just know that because I just looked it up because it sounds so crazy. But it's a federal law that outlaws the transportation of women for im moral purposes.

Yeah, but he's saying that the transportation happened because the people wanted to be there, and the prostitutes or the male sex workers he was bringing into the relationship worked for a legal agency.

He said he didn't force them.

That's basically the same.

I wonder if that matters though, because it says the purpose of it is the prohibitive transportation of women for prostitution, the bauchery, or other moral purposes. So does it matter if they wanted to do it or not, or is that just how people perceive whatever it is that you're doing. Like if the judge said what you did, was the botcherself a moral matter?

If the women?

I think if if it was consensual and the women wanted to go, I mean I think.

The prostitution is illegal. Yeah, I mean, if you unless you want to do it. No, prostitution is illegal parents, but even if you want to do it. Waitang, really, so what about that sugar baby? You want to tell us something?

Yes, girl, because that's why I was like, then I need to follow lawsuits. Yes, because I was definitely out here sugar baby and m hmm, what a prostitute?

Though? Okay, but he's trying to and said.

It prohibits the coardion or enticement of women. Are girls for those sexual purposes?

But it doesn't say men too or just women. You just can't.

Why why you want to think about somebody and somebody.

Are so bad? Why go ahead, lorden, I'm listening.

Coercion for money though, if it's your girlfriend or this is like.

It's so confused and it's such a slipping sleep saying.

Y'all need to be that baby oil. How could it not be?

Yeah?

What we're doing today, man, every day during Black History Month. My guy beat Out puts out a podcas Ass called I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either, on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast Networking today, he is speaking about Alice Parker. She was the genius when vannaged central heating in nineteen nineteen, proven that even in the world full of cold shoulders, her ideas could still heat things up.

Let's discuss I didn't know.

I didn't know.

I didn't know.

Alice Parker was this brilliant black woman born way back in eighteen ninety five. So already you know, life wasn't handing out participation trophies to folks like her. But Alice looked around at how people were heating their homes using wood and cold and thought, this is trash. I mean, imagine chopping wood and freezing cold weather just so you cannot freeze in your house. Alice had the genius idea

How about that?

Anybody in agreement with that? And she didn't just dream it up, She didn't just talk it. She patented the design in nineteen nineteen. That's like inventing wildfire before anybody had ever seen a computer. And be clear, her design wasn't perfect, It wasn't what we used today, but it was revolutionary. It laid the groundwork for modern central heating systems.

Now here's the kicker. Why don't we know her name?

Why are you today years old just finding out about Alice Parker And she did this over one hundred years ago, barely a footnote in history. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison farts out of light bulb and we all act like he invented the sun and he didn't even invent the light bulb. But that's a whole nother conversation for a whole another episode. It's wild how black women like Alice were out here quietly saving the world while getting none of the credit.

And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
