Yeah, it's just throwing a box and give them away because I'm not small enough to know what's worth what and what's not worth what. Now, I ain't got time to do the research. Oh you should definitely do that, because you got a couple of pair that's worth a couple of thousand. Damn sure you're give them a good will you get that blessing back later on somewhere down the line of life. There you go. You

Yes, all right, geez, welcome on the guys. I was every aboudy yesterday. What you guys do? I was in San Francisco. I landed at like one o'clock this morning, so I've been going, Oh it was good. Shout out to everybody at a black enterprise. I was moderating a panel for a TechNet

called Digipam. So Amber Grahams, some Spotify and Elia Janelle Young were on that panel as well. Okay, what about you, charlot Aye, want you do yes or anything? Bro? I don't even remember yesterday, man, I'm gonna be honest with you. That's how I know I'm getting no. I don't know what happened. You're old. Yesterday. Yesterday was Monday, Monday day. I can remember from yesterday is like, you know, outside of like the kids and the wife is. I saw Meet the Mackis last night and the first of allby

is so damn funny, man, Mamby. Mom just need to be on everybody's TV screen, everybody's radio, everybody's podcast. It's just her regular normal self always. She talking to her mom last night on the show, and she just said tells her, mom, are you dumb? It's why you dumb today? Mother? My goodness, goodness, gracious remy. I love Ram shot, the Ram shot, the Pat Pools. I like Meet the Mathews too. I like that show. Now. Last time I was watching

the Yankees game. The Yankees got blown blown away, like sixteen to one. Bad but you watch baseball, but it was pretty bad, pretty pretty bad for the New York Yankees. But they play again tonight. I'm going to the game. I'm taking my pops, my sixteen. You might be bad luck now I didn't go last night. Okay, I watched it from the cram. I'm gonna go to night and team the one sixteen one dropping a clues bound for the Boston Red Shots. They must be on that old

school steroids. It was the old school steroids. Course that can't happen one at home random. Oh yes, okay, everybody knows baseball was better when everybody was on steroids. I would know. I would have watched that game that sounded exciting, sixteen to one. Everybody was a baton has been been real good this year. What is batting? Hitting home runs offense?

It's been pretty good this year. So anyway for the Yankees, I'm going to the game tonight, usually for the Yanks, but I'm going to that last night c C Sabathist picture. So I'm gonna go see CC Sabathia win tonight. Now, this morning we got from Black Lightning Crust Williams joining us. Yes, because Black Lightning Season two premiers tonight on the CW. Isn't Erica Alexander joining the cast? Now? I saw that that'd be interesting because he used to play school on

Living Single, which I didn't know. It didn't It didn't connect with me. It didn't click with me until yesterday. I was like, oh shoot, that is school from living. Yeah, so we'll kick it with him in a little bit, and we got front pagers. What we're talking about, you, Well, Donald Trump went Chicago to do stop and frisk policies. Now about that, all right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keeping lockes the Breakfast Club, Good

morning morning. Everybody is DJ mv Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast Club's getting some front page news. Now. Last night and Monday night football, the New Orleans Saints beat the Redskins forty three nineteen. Now, this game is so great because my division sucks, right, the Eagles suck, the Cowboys suck, the Redskins are halfway decent, and the Giant sucks. So I gotta like I'm only one game away from being the second place. Aren't watching? Foo? I

don't know what you're talking about. As a Dallas Cowboy fan, I'm you know, I'm standing with Cat. Now you staying Cat and the Yankees lost last night sixteen to when they play tonight, CCS on the mound. All right, what else were talking about? You? Well, Donald Trump is urging Chicago to adopt stop and frisk policies. He said, I have directed the Attorney General's office to immediately go to the great City of Chicago to help straighten out the

terrible shooting wave. I'm going to straighten it out and straighten it out fast. He wants the FEDS to work with the local authorities to try to change the terrible deal the city of Chicago entered him with ACLU and to strongly consider stop and frisk. He said, it works, and it was meant for problems like Chicago. It was

meant for it. Stop and frisk. Well, stopping frisk would absolutely increase racial profile and because they would talk your point, disfranchise areas which are heavily populated by black and brown people. But it has to be some productive way to come back gain crime and gun violence in Chicago. So my question is, didn't Ye gets safe after the stopping frisc Actually did not know now the NYPD did you stopping frisk?

And he accredited that to Rudy Giuliani. A judge did rule that it discriminated against my nerves, which it did because you could get stopped as a black person, were getting stopped with so much more frequently than white people. And then a small thing like having a bag of weed on you might end you up, might land you in prison, and then you have to sit there until

you can get bail or not. So the city record, so the city didn't get say they actually reduced when they reduced the use of stopping frisk, then the crime dropped even more after stopped doing stapp and frisk. So, I mean, there's no way to see if stopping frist work. Then if you tested it on a huge city like New York, the biggest thing in America, and it didn't work, while would you implemented as well, it makes no sense. Crime actually jobed when they stopped using staff and frisk

all right. Now. In addition to that, Donald Trump apologized to Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation. Here's what he had to say on behalf of our nation. I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. Those who stepped forward to serve our country deserve a fair evaluation, not a campaign of political and personal destruction

based on lies and deception our country. A man or a woman must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. And with that, I must say that you, sir, were proven innocent. I saw people mad at that. But I mean, if you believe Kavanaugh didn't do it and he deserves an apology, well, he wasn't proven innocent. They just couldn't prove that he did it. So we just don't know. We don't know if he did it or not. They didn't prove that she mean, they didn't prove that

she was lying. Yeah, but I mean he was technically and whatever that court was or whatever, but he wasn't in court. It was just really a job interview. It wasn't a trial or they investigated. They investigated it. Yeah, but people had problems with the FBI investigation because there were a lot of witnesses that could have come forward that they didn't investigate. So the whole thing wasn't a

trial that you're innocent. This is just basically, well, they clearly investigated in their in their mind, they found found like he didn't do anything. So if you believe Kavanaugh didn't do it, then he deserves an apology. If you believe he did do it, then you feel like an apology was inappropriate. Right. I can't say that he was proven instant though. This wasn't in a court of law where you were proving anything. It's just you know, we

don't know. We'll never really know how he was proven innocent. And whatever that court was or whatever it was investigating, it was investigent. It was investigating. Yeah, all right, and the Flint here's good news. They're getting safe water fountains, thinks to Elon Musk. The Musk Foundation is donated donating money to install knew water fountains the filtration systems at all of the schools. So that's a great thing, a

positive thing that happened. Yes, it is. Drop on a blue bump for Elon Musk right after you scare everybody in LA again, Why don't even keep falling for that? Every time space x launching something, it's some R and B star recording it in the sky saying, what is that? What if that happens every few months? Ms is launching rockets through SpaceX every few months, and we fall for

the same trick over and over. It's like Kanye's Magga had at this point, come on, oh, and I just want to say that that limo that crashed a day ago, that twenty people were killed. They said that that car didn't have the right inspection and the driver didn't have the right license to be driving that limo. So again, rest in peace to anybody who last, anybody in that crash. It's horrible, and they're getting more and more details about who owned it and more and more details about the car.

Is just very, very crazy. So if you do have to take a limo, they're saying, no matter what it is, whether it's prom whether it's wedding, whether it's going out, do your homework because some of these cars are not even registered in that license right, So just definitely do your homework, all right, Well, last front page news.

Yes, I run they had forty people that learned to talk to the FBI, but they only investigated little people and they didn't in Brett cabin or doctor brought before and and the way he again, I don't think that's right. A lot of people had a problem with the investigation, saying it wasn't very thorough at all. They were just trying

to rush through it to get to the confirmation. No, it worn't that's the thing, Like I mean this lady, he sowed it in the beginning, like you know, I'm gonna be ag. I really can't hear you. It's how you got your phone in the red cup talking through the phone. Ye, my man, I don't know. All right now you want to talk to us in the right tone?

The reason why I'm man, I'm mad at Donald Trump because I think he's full of ish. When it comes to the black man, you know what I'm saying, he want to say, they'll get it, they're guilty. When he came to the such part Pole, he said they was guilty. But but they even had a trial.

But when it comes to Kavanaugh, oh, he's innocent. Being on top of that, he'll choose O'bama of being not from the United States. So I think he's bullet ish. We already know he is.

You know that is slang for getting your face beat me and getting your putty, getting your makeup put on. Right. Guess if you don't know what that means, some of them knew. You know, you know, we uh, we watched people on this up on this uh on the TV show. So when you

But if you ever want your face to get beautified, yes, well, thank you for calling the white people like like, oh my god, the guy inviting answer would go to Miami and get beat up, and she gladly accepted. Hello. Who's this? Yeah, Hello, it's there. What's up? Broke it off your chess man?

All right, I just wanted to share. Um. First of all'm thankful for just waking up this morning and being able to go to work. But also then I've been home five years. Um, you know, I'm thirty two years old. I got locked up when I was younger, and you know, I haven't been in trouble since I started my fitness business. I had my ups and downs, but I never you know, I never swayed my way up going back to the street.

And I just wanted, you know, people to hear that, you know, no matter how hard it is or whatever, you're going to our wife congratulations sir, Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. All right, Brod, all right you ever do, sir? Get it off your chests. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one that you We got rooms on the way, Yes, I mean tend to be discussed. Let's talk about Donald Trump some more. I guess who was

going to the White House to visit him. Also, congratulations to this star who was going to be having his own at late night TV show. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked as to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Shout to my homie Deep Powis today it's his birthday, turns forty two. Happy birthday, Happy birthday to him. All Right, now let's get to these rumors. Let's talk new late night show. Listen, Oh gosh, report guys, it's the rum

report the Breakfast Club. But it looks like we might be seeing Nick Cannon on your TV screens on late night television. He has ink to deal. He's going to develop a series for Fox. They said it's untitled right now, and it will cover topical subjects like pop culture commentary, celebrity interviews, music performances, and comedy acts as well. Salute to Fox would being for not being afraid of Nick Cannon's head wraps. Okay, people people like safe Nick Cannon.

They don't like militant Nick Cannon. When you started talking all that black power stuff, you know, they walked away. NBC did. So it's a beautiful thing to see Fox embrace with NBC couldn't handle. Well. Yeah, I'm glad. I'll definitely be supportive of that. They haven't announced a date

for that talk show now. Kanye West is supposedly going to meet with Donald Trump and Derek Kushner at the White House at some point this week, So we don't know exactly when that's going to happen, but according to reports, that's going to go down sometimes going on. I have no idea. Did he get back on social media yet or is he still gone? I don't know from all his accounts. I think he's off all right, Yeah, I think he's off. Um. Now, Donald Trump has some issues

now with Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift posted and she's never voiced her own political agendas or anything any support that she's given to anybody, but now I guess she felt the need. She posted on Instagram. I'm writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November six, in which

I'll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past, I've been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. And she goes on to support a Democrat. She's voting for two Democrats in that state, and she's also going against the Republican Marsha Blackburn, who was running for Senate there. Well, Donald Trump didn't like that at all.

And here's what he had to say about Taylor Swift. You know, well, Marsha Blackburn is doing a very good job in Tennessee. She's leading now substantially, which you should. I'm sure Taylor Swift does nothing or not doesn't know what to think about her. And let's say that I like Taylor's music about twenty percent. Now, okay, I think that's crazy. Now, be aware, though, if you are not registered to vote. Today in some states is the last

day to be able to register to vote. To make sure you check your team states dot org to see in your state when is the last day, But for fifteen different states, yesterday is the last day for you to register, so make sure you go ahead and check that. I wonder what Taylors's political leanings were before this administration. I just assumed she was conservative, which is my fault for profiling. But I just assume that I wonder what

her political leanings were before this administration. Well, all we know is that Instagram post did bring a spike voter registration. According to vote dot org yesterday, there were about fifty one tho new registrations in the past twenty four hours, and in the state of Tennessee alone, there were about

thirty five hundred new registrations so far. No. Well, and goes to make the power of Manny's Yeah, so that's a big deal that people are going to go out and now and register to vote just because of Taylor Swift saying what you have to say and putting that information out there. All right. Jim Jones has announced a new Diplomats album and release date as well, So if you guys are excited, it's going to be the follow up to the Diplomats two thousand and four album Diplomatic

Community two all right. So they actually announced this at the A three C Festival. I've seen him shooting a video yesterday too. Yes, it's going to be coming out on Thanksgiving and it's called Diplomatic Ties. I'm here for that, all you guys. So Thanksgiving is on Thursday, November twenty second, and you can look out for that album. I'm always here for anything that I grew up on. I will always support the artists from my era. Okay, all right,

And post Malone has gotten his first acting role. He'll be joining Mark Wahlberg in a movie and Winston Duke from Black Panther as well. And it's going to be an adaptation of Robert B. Parker's Wonderland. Uh, and he'll be in that. So we get to see post Malone on the big screen as well. So I see him taking some shots with Nas yesterday. O post Malone, post malhonea Nas were together. I see him taking shots. The post would have to cover up all his tattoos and

everything to really act, right, depends on playing less. He's being super typecasted. Yeah, it plays on the character. Yeah, I have no IDEA banker definitely a biker. Biker, definitely a biker with all those tattoos or who lever Well. Congratulations to him. That's a great first acting role to be alongside market. I think post Malone is a great clown. It's going to be a Netflix film also, by the way. Okay, all right, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report.

All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, we got front page news. What we are talking about frontage nugi. Well, let's talk about Flint. Find out what's happening for schools and Flint thanks to Elon Musk. All Right, we'll get to that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ MVY, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's getting some front page news now. Last night Major League Baseball, the Yankees got blown away by the Boys to Red Sox sixteen to one. But don't worry. Game three tonight. CC's on the mount taking my pops and my son today, so it should be a lot of fun. The Ashtrolls beat the Indians eleven three, and the Dodgers beat the Brave six two. Now in Monday Night football, the Saints beat the Redskins forty three nineteen, which is

great for me because my division sucks. So the Giants are like, what, one in four and we are in third place, so that's not bad. Listen, man, you know I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan. My team is in that NFC East, but I'm not watching football, you know what I'm saying now, You're not watching from standwood cap All right, Okay, what else we talking about? Hurricane Michael is taking aim now,

so some counties in Florida have in order to evacuate. Also, there will be damaging wins across the Florida Panhandle, southern Georgia, in southeast Alabama as Michael is moving inland. So just giving y'all their heads up. If you're flying traveling, make sure you check on all of that as well. I'm also in Flint, schools are getting safe water fountains. That's because of a half a million dollar donation from Elon Musk. They are donating money to install new water fountains with

filtration systems at all of the schools. It's a crazy they're still living with these issues in Flint. Absolutely, it's crazy that he's still living with those issues, and it's crazy that Elon must keep launching those rockets from SpaceX in Los Angeles and people keep falling forward. Every single time, like every few months is some R and B single with the camera in the sky talking about what is that in the sky. You should know what's in the

sky by now. It's rockets from SpaceX. Alright. And Donald Trump has apologized to Brett Kavanaugh for sexual misconduct allegations. He apologized during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation. Here's what he said on behalf of our nation. I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Cavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. Those who stepped forward to serve our country deserve a fair evaluation, not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on

lies and deception our country. A man or a woman must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. And with that I must say that you, sir, were proven innocent. But the only problem with that apologies. You can't apologize for the whole nation because some people in the nation think Kavanaugh is guilty. If you believe Kavanaugh didn't do it, then he deserves an apology. Okay, if you should believe he did do it and you feel

like he doesn't deserve an apology. And a lot of people were upset with that apology just because they said it wasn't anything proven by this, because it wasn't a trial. It was basically just an FBI investigation that they felt was flawed as well. All right, well that is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, let's take your calls. Eight one five one oh five one. Yesterday my wife and I

were talking about this. This meme was floating around. Right in the meme is parents, please stop sending your kids to school with the idea someone hits you, you hit them back. You are part of the problem. What's the problem, let's talk about it. And so it's my problem that your child is putting the hands on my child, and then when my child defends himself, they're part of the problem. Teaching my child to defend themself as a problem. Five eight five one on five. While they have self defend

classes for kids, what's the kids? Why kids in karate? Kids learn how to box point? What's the point in karate? They teach you not to be the aggressive. But if somebody push their heads on you, then you defend yourself. Somebody teach youself. Let me ask you this. If a little girl hits your little boy, should he beat her up? But we didn't say beat up. I'm just asking our should he hit her back? Or I'm just asking you all got to go to the extreme of gender. You know,

we ain't talking about damn gender. No, but we're saying, you're teaching your kids to hit somebody back if they hit you. Do you talk to women? All right, That's what I'm asking I don't have kids. I'm asking a question. Well, I tell I tell my kids if somebody hits them, you hit him back. But if a boy hit you or pushes you, you hit them back. Yes, I do tell him. But Logan went a little too far when he was a kid, and he would really hit these kids back. And the problem was is when these kids

pushed the hit Logan, Logan wouldn't cry. So Logan hit the kid back. The kid cries, and then Logan would get in trouble and we would always stay in the principal's office. But I had to tell him that if you if you get hit once, tell it, teach it the second time. Defend yourself. No, I had to tell him because he would always get in trouble because, like I said, he logan plays football a rough kid. You hit him, he's not crying. Hey. The reason I put

my daughter in my ten year daughter in tagwon door early. Okay, all right, you're gonna get a take down, right, I'm sorry. And I tell the same thing with my girls. Keep their hands to theyself. How about everybody keep their hands to theyself. But in the event that some child does put their hand on my child and my child knows how, it's defend it. And I agree with you and a problem.

And I really think, and this is gonna sound crazy, I really think it reduces bullet because now if you if you show your kid, if somebody hit you, you hit them back. You defend yourself. I remember teaching my daughter how to snap on the bus, Like, how did this people on the bus? If people did, sure, just it reduced bullet Now somebody had need to come over

here for that that type of advice. Okay, her daddy don't know how to do those snaps, but you know, you know I would turn to tell her come over here. She needs some advice on how to hurt people feelings verbally. I like, your mama, that's that's what How far your mama, that's all you got. But your mama driving Toyota. I don't know. I couldn't think wow, wow, yeah wow, that's that's all I could come with it. Discust, I know. But anyway, eight hundred five A five one oh five one.

Nothing wrong with Toyota's parents. Please stop sending your kids to school with the idea someone here to don't talk about you hit them Offend me because I grew up in a Corolla US. I had a hundred of Toyota too. But I've justly hurt your feelings, and that's what I was supposed to do. But the eight hundred five A five one oh five one. Someone hits you, you hit them back. You are part of the problem. Do you agree? Call us now, It's the Breakfast Club. Come morning morning.

Everybody is DJ mvy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us. This was a conversation to my crib last night. This meme was going around and the meme went like this, parents, please stop sitting your kids to school with the idea someone hit you, you hit them back. You are part of the problem. See I don't. I don't understand this logic. And the reason I understand this logic is because that's

not how the world works. You know, we're always taught to never be the aggressor by words of action, but in the event you are attacked, you should defend yourself. You know what I mean. And my daughter is ten years old. She was taking taiekwondo very early on. I put her in taekwondo because I want her to be able to defend herself. You put my hand, you put your hands on my daughter. She knows how to defend herself. Now,

I did the same thing with my kids. My daughter is in tai Kwando, my son is in Tai Kwando. My son even went to boxing, and that was part of the thing. If somebody hit you, you hit them back. And especially because my kids are so small, like I have small kids, Logan is a small kid, so and that's what will happened. The only problem with that is when Logan wound up hitting these kids back, these kids would cry. Because Logan played football, he's rough, he boxed,

he you know, did karate. So when these kids hit him, he didn't cry. But as soon as Logan hit the kid, the kid would cry and all the principal or teachers would see what the kids a little one trouble. So I have to change it a little bit and say the first time you get hit, you tell it teacher. Second time you defend yourself. Oh make him, don't let him marginalize himself, suppress his strip just because somebody don't know how to keep their hands to theyself. That's what

happens in life and life. You put your hands on somebody, you push somebody, They may punch you, and guess what that punch maybe Mike Tyson level right, and that's your fault. You may get hit by the next Canelo Aluriz and don't even know. Hey, hey, what were you taught you? Of course we retretted somebody hits you to hit them back, but also to let the teacher know so that it's not just a situation where you end up fighting all the time. So you gotta let the teacher know. Yeah, yeah,

that's easier, that's easier. Said now, my dad said the same thing. If y'all know smack from Smack DVD. Does the goddamn smackstory again? Yes, Mike, it's been the only fighting. That's the only one when people who know Smack Smack hit me and I hit Smack back every single time. But it is what it was. That's when my dad taught me. Let's go to the phone line, Tello. Who's this Brittany, Hey, brig, good morning. What do you think

about that statement? Um? I have to disagree. I have a I have a daughter and a son at school, and um, they both know, if anybody hit them, you hit them back. If anybody has a problem with that on fight kids too, you know that. But I ain't mad at you. Yeah, I'm fit kids too, because I don't allow that bullying. I have a son and I tell them all the time, don't put your hands on the girl. But if somebody hits you, you hit them back.

Goddamn right. Absolutely. And I even tell my son if somebody puts their hands on my daughter, you gotta defended sister. Thank you, mom. That's what my son does. Helcome no proper Hello. Who's this Hi? This is Carl and Carl kids. Good morning. What do you think about that statement? N y'all agree? With you. I think if someone is hitting you, you definitely need to hit them back or her back, because it will reduce bullying. Yeah, if they're going to

keep them your faith and it will continue. It's hard because I'm an educator and I also have two sons, but I definitely think you need to hit them back. Yeah, because that's the thing, the thing at the end of the day when it comes to bully, and bully's only going to keep doing what you allowed him to do. Yes, that's exactly right. So I just have to say. And as far as whether or not as a girl or boy, a girl crass the skin of my son's face when he was in third grade. So I teach my son

to not beat him up. But you can get them off you without really fighting them. But you can't let them today your personal face. You have to get them back. Okay, thank you mama. Well you guys have a great guy you too, Grace, Good morning, Hello morning, good morning. Now, it was a meme going around where somebody said someone hits you, you hit them back. You are part of the problem, meaning that idea is part of the problem. What do you think I disagree. I would tell my

kids to hit back. No one should be able to be put the hand on your on your face or anybody that's rightolutely not. I told my kids I'm a grandmother now, and I told my girl so I'm the same thing. You don't hit first, but if somebody hit you, you'll hit them back. And if you come home and you'll end them back, then I'm gonna hit you absolutely. And my dad might have told me that one to today. Yeah,

I don't understand this unrealistic way of thinking. And then one thing I tell my daughter too is man like, you know, don't worry about the consequences from school. Don't worry about what the teacher's gonna say to you, don't worry about the principle gonna say to you. We got this, don't worry about that. Tell them what I'm saying. You will not get in trouble at home now. Somebody put their hands on you and you defend yourself. Not at all. And we've been to the principal many of times for this.

But the eight D five eight five one oh five one. This meme was floating around yesterday, so let's talk about it. Parents, Please stop sending your kids to school with the idea, someone hit you, you hit them back. You are a part of the problem. What do you think? What are your thoughts calling us up? Now? Was the breakfast Club in the morning? Everybody is DJ mvy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Good morning if you just joined us. This conversation comes from a meme

that was floating around yesterday. Now, parents, please stop sending your kids to school with the idea someone hit you, you hit them back. You are a part of the problem. So they want your kids to grow up to be punks. They want your kids to grow up to be suckers who don't know how to defend themselves. Now, I'm gonna be honest. Right, growing up in Queens, it was more, of course minorities, right, more Black, more Spanish or Latino's Caribbean,

and that was the mentality. Someone hit you, you hit them back, and if you don't hit back, when you get home, you're fighting your pops. That's that's what it was. Yeah. When I moved over out to Jersey, white people think a little differently. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie like they they tell first they somebody hit you, go tell a teacher, which which I don't necessarily agree with. I think that

kind of starts bullying. I think they put that into the black kid's head in these rich white areas because they want us to be goddamn you know, marginalized and oppressed all the mother ff and time. They want us to feel like victims all the time. If the white man hit you, you don't hit them back, all right, So I don't go I don't see color that. I don't see color when it comes to I don't see

color when it comes to defending yourself. If somebody puts their heads on you, regardless of race, you have every right to defend yourself. Yeah. Do you tell your kids to tell the teacher? Also? Yeah, after you punched him in the name out, then you gonna tell the teacher he hit me, so I hit him back? Yes, I mean they have to. They have to hit first, because they can't go tell the teaching. Then't hit Then it looks like he you know, planned it. But um, yeah,

tell him to tell the teacher. But now you know, I tell him. If somebody hit you the first time, you let it go. The second time you hit back. That the old kids, by the way, because if you get a hit, if if a kid hits you, and then your first inclination is to going to tell the teacher your fool. You're fool for the rest of your school career. I tell you now, I tell you, bust somebody head in the hallways. See didn't see the problem with me? Was was Logan a kid to hit him?

The kid wouldn't cry. Logan plays football, so he doesn't cry, So he's gonna hit the kid back, right, And now Logan's in the principal's office because the kids crying on the that's with them, little white kids in you're a rich town, get for hitting on the Dominican all right, now, little Dominican boy can fight. Okay, you know what? You know what forget you? Hello? Who's this from, Jeff? What do you think? Jeff? I said the same thing like you say, envy, tell the teacher the first time the

second time, hit him back. See nobody telling no teacher. Ain't nobody got time for that when you get punched in the face. I only did that because Logan would always get in trouble and because and this is gonna sound crazy, one of the few black kids in this schoo we were always in the principal's office. I said, just chill out, let him hit you first, and he does it again, knocked his ass out. That's why I did that. But for the for the younger ones, it's

the same thing. Somebody hit you hit him back, and the teacher ain't gonna do nothing to teach. You're gonna treat that situation like she had cops. You don't feel like doing all that paperwork. All she's gonna do a telling boy, telling the boy stop hitting on that, stop hitting people. Then what ica. I grew up in Jamaica, and that's how I was ready. Somebody lick you look them up. So I moved to America. I had kids. I tell my kids the same thing, except in a

different dialect. I don't know. I don't be telling these kids to lick each other's cool now that can go either way nowadays, going on, ta hey, Trina, what do you think about the meme now was floating around yesterday. I disagree with it because when our kids were smaller, I used to tell them if somebody hit him or do something to him, tell the teach her first. If she does them do anyse things, then you go ahead

and defend yourself. Now once they got older, I'm like, if somebody hit you hit them back, because sometimes, like you said, it's bullying and they need to send up for themselves. If you send up for the bullet, they'll quit. Typically, hey, just telling the teach her first business whack. No, But I did that when Charlotte, Maine. I did that when they were really really small, like because I didn't want them fighting because I got a son. That's like how

Envy said his son was. He was. He's in football and he's very aggressive. He even had a fight with one of the teachers kids one time. So I don't I didn't want him to be in or doing it. But now is like, since they're older, I'm like, well, if they hit you, you hit them back. Don't let nobody touch you. They ain't got no business being that close to your face and your face though, if they hit you hit them back, and that's just that I don't. Of course they're high school is now, so I don't

want them to get locked up. But what you're gonna do? And I told the older one, you got to defend your sisters. Bro, I'm like, if I'm not there and something bout of if you defend your sister, you got you gotta make sure you defend and make sure that when you the eldest Dominican around the hold down the rest of the family. We're not dominican, man. What's the more hold of the story? Man? The mold of the story has never be the aggressive about word of action.

But in the event, you are attack in yourself. Simple as that. Kids, ain't that. It ain't that serious, not like you looking for a fright. I really think that. Will you know, limit bullying because bullies will not get off if you get punched in the face one time. You don't want to bully, That's a fact, because the bully is only going to keep doing what you allow

him to do. Simple as that. And I just I always think about the time when Charlemagne was bullying the down syndrome kid, and then down he was a slow kid. Charlemagne was bullying a slow kid. I wasn't bullying him. I was teasing him. It's the same thing. It was a joke. And why did you stop? Because he put me in the chokehold that that that I felt like it was almost over. There would be no Charlemagne on

the breakfast Claus. I saw, I saw, I saw my brief sixteen year old, seventeen year old life flat before my eyes in that moment. But thank god the slow child to day, and that's gonna calm your ass down right, Not really, but you know, but you got them alone. I knew to leave slow kids alone. Anybody else could get it all right with that slow kids scrimped different.

You know what? We got roomors on the way, he asked, we'll be talking about Kevin hard he was running the Chicago Marathon and find out what he witnessed on his run. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked as to Breakfast Club Corning. This is the Ruble Report with Angela. So Kevin Hurtt was competing in the Chicago Marathon and things got very real now. He said he wasn't too happy with his time. Check

it out Marathon number two complete. Man, I didn't get the time I wanted, but the weather was on my ass. It rain for the first sixteen miles, but it didn't stop me. I ran twenty one mile straight, broke down a mile twenty two. Felt like somebody was on the roof with a little thing called a cramp, gun shot me in my ass feet, froze up, saw two older women on themselves, true story. One of them just it just came down the back of a leg. The others

stopped in the grass and moved to short. That's me up. But I made it. I ran with a purpose. Today, I'm about to send more kids to college. I'm gonna double up on what I did. Yes, you know, guys run his diarrhea is real. Yeah, you talk about it all the time. Yeah, so when when you run a marathon, it happens all the time. You can look it up online and see pitches of people actually winning the marathons. Wouldn't you poop beforehand? Though? If you know what that's

gonna happen when you run twenty six miles. It kind of like breaks down your insides while you're running. And that's why it happens. It's just a scientifically is what can happen to you? I don't even think human beings can do that. You can't just poop and keep moving. Yes you can, when you're trying to win a marathon, you can ain't that's serious, mate, But yeah, I mean I don't think you can control that from happening like you don't anticipate that. I'm sure everybody tries to go beforehand,

but imagine running twenty six miles. That's a long time. Kind of hell. Kevin Hark got time to run marathons. He's training, and I'm telling you, talent, I mean, hard work beats talent. When talent doesn't work. You can say whatever you want about Kevin Hardt. You can say he's not funny, but he will outwork your ass all day long. And he's funny. I think it's funny. But right now Bill on his payroll. According to Radar Online, Bill Cosby

and jail had some issues. He was trying to tell some jokes in prison, and somebody slapped him across the face with the chicken patty. Wait a minute, the first time he allegedly got slapped in the face with a hot dog, Well, no, he did not get slapped. They said somebody threw a hot dog. Oh, hit him in the face with a hot dog, and then this time a chicken patty. Ain't none of this stuff, true, man, hot dog bun the first time is what they're saying. Allegedly.

Now they're saying that he cracked this joke and the inmate was mad enough to take his chicken out of the bun and plunge it at her. It is true. I don't believe any of this. Who told you this? What's what's the source online? I don't believe it, I said, all right. Jamae Dupree has postponed the launch of his tour.

He said to all my fans. I know what I'm about to say is going to create a very very big fire, but due to my schedule and creative changes, I don't feel comfortable starting this tour on the fourteenth. I honestly believe I need another week to get this to where I wanted to be. You gotta gotta seal the deal with bow Wow. Can't hit the roll without Shaddy Moss now bats that he's back in. Yeah, he's

back in. He's out, he's in. Who knows what people bone crushing and bone crushing must be holding it up with contract negotiations. All right, Vica Man said, we told you about this early year about DJ Scheme. Upset about what Vic Menson said during his freestyle Cipher at the BT Hip Hop Awards about xxx Dantasion Now, DJ Scheme had tweeted out Yober, How are you going to say your favorite rapper is an abuser and then follow it with the line saying some ish X some ish so

I won't live long. You can deny it, but everyone who was there heard that ish well. Vic Menson went on Instagram to actually, I guess, try to give more clarity to what it was he was trying to do. Here's what he said. Recently, I did a freestyle for the BT Awards Cipher addressing and condemning rappers who unabashedly abuse women and those who stand up for them and

even call them legends. I stand behind no statements. It was prerecorded weeks ago, and I had no idea a grieving mother would be in the audience to honor her lost son. I never intended to disrespect her and offer my deepest condolences for her loss at the hands of gun violence. However, I vehemently reject the trending hip hop of championing abusers, and I will not hold my t about it. I agree with the overall message. You know what I'm saying. Yes, we should denounce abuses and you

know people who commit violence against women. But Vick, you have to address your own bs first though, because Vic Minsa admitted in a song that he choked out his girl here on the Breakfast Club. I mean he said it in a song, but we talked about it here on the Breakfast Club. No, I'm talking about between me and her. How how far? Yeah, I mean I was just he choked her out in the song. But that's that's the beginning of the story. That's that's that's when

you realize. I mean, that's when I realized that. Wow. But that was like maybe two years or something before we broke up. So in my album, I deal with a lot more of just like some crazy you gotta admit your own bs first. You gotta put yourself in that mix too, right, Yeah, I would think. So I need to apologize for the fact that Xxx and Tasson's mother was in the audience. So that's a poor timing on his part. All right, Well I'm ante la yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you,

miss ye Charlemagne. Yes, so you're giving that, oh man. You know, I suffer from parental paranoiacsig. I'm a father of three, and I think that we should have some rational anxiety when it comes to being a parent. But this story right here is why I have that rational anxiety, and we'll talk about it four after the hour, all right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This to breakfast club, Good morning, ya, don't get today For Tuesday October, NiFe goes to a Long Island man

named Russell Cohen. You know, as a father of three beautiful girls, I suffer from the rational anxiety that I think comes with being a parent. I call it parental paranoia. Now, anyone who suffers from anxiety knows how irrational those fears and insecurities that come from suffering from anxiety can be. But being a parent, it's a lot of rational anxiety

that comes with that. I call it rational anxiety because I know exactly why I'm anxious when it comes to my kids, because they're my kids, okay, and I want them to be safe at all times. And one of the main ways to ensure safety in America nowadays is to avoid crazy at all costs. Okay, crazy as crazy situations and most importantly, crazy people. But that is almost impossible nowadays because you just don't know who's crazy anymore. Okay, All the safe spaces that used to exist in this society.

All the people we used to could count on to not be crazy are sometimes the craziest. For example, the church not safe. Okay, crazy people coming there, Remember that bastard Dylan Roof ain't police. Some of them are crazy and they think we're crazy, so they're scared, and that combination of scared and crazy with a gun leads the problems a lot of the time. Okay, Walmart, the holy grounds of Walmart used to be a safe space, but

now it's no shortage. You're crazy in there. Someone may try to buy your kid for two hundred thousand dollars. In schools, oh, the institution that we have to send our kids to for eight hours a day. I already have their anxiety of potential school shootings. But the most anxiety comes from having to entrust our kids safety to a bunch of adults that we hope we can count on. Okay, a bunch of adults that we hope aren't crazy. But Lord have Jesus Christ, we know that's not the case.

And that brings me to Russell Cohen, who was a fifty eight old driving instructor. Now he's not a teacher, per se Well, he's an instructor at Suffolk's Auto driving school and on Saturday morning he was driving and instructing three teams and this happened. Let's go to CBS two New York for the report. Please. A mom and daughter are telling an incredible story about a driving instructor teaching

Lila Mabanta over the weekend how to drive. When the kids in the car, including Lila, realized that the driver something was terribly wrong. He thought he was drunk, Lila right, yea or high? He was overly complimenting us and he was actually really weird. You say that he was driving a radically actually hitting curb. Yeah, he hit a curb place. He told him to take us to McDonald's as soon as he hit the curb so that we could get

out as soon as possible. And then he got out of the car and he called nine one one, and Suffolk Police have arrested Russell Colne, fifty eight years old, a driving school instructor. That driving school was contracted Suffolk Community College, which says that they are reviewing their policies and their contract with the Suffoc County Driving School. Russell Coin, you have one job, okay, and that's teach kids how

to drive. The two most basic rules when it comes to driving is what What's one of the most basic rules when it comes to driving envy, always pay attention man, Shut up, angelie. It was one of the most basic rules when it comes to driving. Keep your hands on the stereywheel. I mean, jess, those are basically y'all are right. But other than that, the two most basic rules when it comes to driving, it's where a seatbelt and don't drink and drive? Okay, Like those are the basics, all right,

all right? If you're trying to teach kids what not to do behind the wheel, those are the basics, all right. These kids had to convince this guy to pull into a McDonald's. That's how I know he was drunk, because nothing soak up liquor like McDonald's, all right. They had to promise this man a sausage, egg and chiefs mcgriddle just so they could get to a location to escape. Now, Russell was arrested on aggravated DWI and and dangering the

welfare of children. And the only lesson he taught these kids was one they should already know, and that's highways can be dieways, the choice is yours, all right, don't drink and drive. Please give Russell corn the sweet Times to the Hamletones. Oh no you are do gee, Oh the day, the dogee, oh the day. Ye all right, well, thank you for that. Donk Kid today Charlemagne and Angela yee yes, seatbelt first, then pay attention, then put your

hands on the stage, all basics, right, all right. Now, when we come back from Black Lightning, we have Chruss Williams joining us, so we'll kick it with him when we come back. I know you guys love Black Lightning and Black Lightning. Actually premiss tonight. Season two premis tonight on the c W. That's right, so don't go anywhere.

Okay, let me just elect your cute to real quick, get it out. How are you this morning? My brother I'm good man, I'm good good. I'm perpetually tired. That's just my stake. Oh, because you always working, always work, man. I think that's a good feeling though. I mean, it just is between being a family man and working. How

Ten year old, three year old and a

I was talking about you as a superhero. Yeah, yeah, Well you're always in the comics. As a kid, I was in the cartoons and stuff because I couldn't afford comics. I couldn't afford anything, but I was always into cartoons and superheroes. Yeah.

Did you know anything about the Black Lightning backstory? I didn't. Um, I didn't. I was. I was familiar with like John Stewart, Green Lantern, and uh, that was really at the top of my list. But then, um, once I read the script, and then I started getting into the comics. Um, it was. It's so topical, even the comics in the seventies. You read some of the seventies comics that they could be

written today, problems today. But people testing you after the first episode, like because comic heads are serious about yes, yes, yeah, Issue thirty five you were wearing about. Yeah, they all know they're crazy. Yeah, But I mean that's why I was like, I'm gonna read all of this because I know they're gonna test me, and I'm not trying to be like, oh, I don't know. I wasn't familiar with Black Lightning and I'm a commic kid. I'm a Marvel

guy though. Okay, yeah, I wasn't familiar with Black Lightning. Yeah, it's a cool I mean, you should pick it up, man, especially starting from the seventies. It's a cool, cool comic. When I think about it, I'm more of a DC guy anyway, because a Superman was always my man trash what trash? What? He's so powerful? Man? As white supremacy in the flesh. They wanted to think white supremacy is, that's what the S stands for. Who was? I was somebody I brought it up yesterday. Man, I was like,

you're like, what's like, what's Batman? Superpower? White privilege? That's what it is. That's what it is. A rich white man, a rich and title white man. He's Donald Trump. If Donald Trump had a heart, My goodness. You wanted to be an act of your whole life, right, my whole life. I mean every since I was a little kid. You went to THTA I did. I went. It was kind of like I was the first person in my family

to go to college. So I was like, I really wanted to do that and be the first and complete it. And then I was like, and I knew I wanted to be an actress. So I was like, I'll go this round. That's playing your background for people that don't know you were born in Germany. I was born in Germany. My father was he was drafted Vietnam, and thankfully he didn't have to go to Vietnam. He wanted to being

stationed in h Germany, in Heidelberg. And then, as a story goes, he called my mom and said, come to Germany. I want to make a baby. And so that's what happened. See born German. Then you moved to Chicago. Move to Chicago, that's where my family's real July from. And then my parents split up and I moved to la with my mother when I was three. And was your mom and dad married when he told her to come to Germany? Yes, yeah, they were married. About to say, yeah, you can't call here.

Conceived in Germany? I was, yeah, did you ever live there? Just no, because as soon as I was born, we came right back. I gotta get there. I've never been there. Got to do a citizenship though, that's what they say, and I might you don't need to things keep going and going to Germany. I'm yeah, how poor were y'all?

I mean, especially with my like like po po yeah wow, like I don't even afford to o R yes, oh, but I mean and my mother she held it down, you know, I always say television was my babysitting, And I feel like I was meant to be an actor because she was like, hey, when you were a baby, if you cried, I wad do was turn on television and you were like transfixed. So I think I was meant to do it. You before to go to college scholarships and grants and loans and paid all that stuff off. Yes, okay, yes,

what kind of scholarships you kind of talk you. No, No, it wasn't that. It wasn't it was that it was well Maine. It wasn't until I got to like UCLA. They gave me some grant money and some like acting like like kind of scholarships for the most part. First of all, I started at junior college and back then

it was like fifty dollars to go to college. Fifty dollars. Yeah, junior college was fifty dollars, where like dollars a semester and bragging about student loans and you only order twenty fifty dollars by the time I was at UCLA for like two years, and I racked up in two years, I racked up like twelve thirteen thousand dollars. Wow. So with your dad in your life, growing up or not really, I mean honest, like I would see him occasion because he was still in Chicago, and so I would take

some summers and and go out and see him. And we had this kind of not really involved relationship from most of my life. But then, um, I really reached out to him, like probably a year before he passed and just a couple of years before you fast and just said, luck man, this is not cool. And thankfully he like he uh took him about a year to do it, but he stepped up and called me out of the blue and we just over the phone. We

had this just hash and everything out. He took like responsibility for not being there, and it just it lifted everything right because we just had this cathartic moment. And then from that point on he was he was my dog. I knew that feeling I had. I got that this summer because I had some issues with my father basically about you know, when he divorced my mom and you know moved on with another family. Oh yeah, that same story.

I mean, he was always there for me, but I had that conversation with him this summer, Like that was always on my heart and my mind, Like you know I had I felt a way about that. Yeah, I understand that lifting feeling you probably, yeah, you know, I mean because it was always there, and I guess when I was growing up, I just didn't want to just bring it up, like, Yo, how come you ain't calling me?

And then finally you, I guess you reach a certain point of adulthood where for me it was just kind of like, okay, either I gotta say this and this relationship's gotta change. Oh, I'm cool with it just keeping it moving and not have a relationship. So I had to get to that place and I just kind of put it all out there and it took him a while, but he came. He stepped up. The crazy thing is, no matter how old you get, you still had that

fear of your father. Absolutely. Yeah, like you still like you want to have a conversation, but you just it's not as easier just packing up the phone like hey man, Papa, but you can't. Yeah yeah, I mean, you just almost got to get to the point of your backs against the wall, and he just like, I can't do this anymore. Yeah, you know, thankfully we did it. Once you make a transition from the seat to like TV it was just

weird smooth transition. It was right into college. Man, I had like two quarters left to school, and I was trying to figure out howctually house gonna pay for it. I went through my first year at UCLA, and like I said, they gave me some award money and I spent all of it over the summer and didn't work a job. So the next quarter was about to start and I was like, I didn't have enough money. I'm like, I only got two quarters left and I may not

even finish. And this connection that I had, like they called me out of the blue and said, hey, you got an audition, come pick up the stuff tomorrow. It wound up being this re occurring on Beverly Hills nine two one, and then they got me the job. They got me an agent. The very next audition that my agent actually sent me out on was living single and then I got that job. He was a living single. Yeah, man,

that's what Scooter boy, I do remember that. Wow, Wow, you've been around brow Yeah, ninety ninety three, ninety four. What was your first gig? That was? That was Beverly Hills and Hill and they went up airing around the same time, so they were technically like he remember now, I used to watching nine two one though, so real Toll did not. Yeah, this was tory spelling, Brian Austin Greg. Yeah. It was the college years. Yeah, and then once they got to college. I don't remember that. I was a

de Sean Hardell. I was like this college basketball player and Brandon was supposed to to me, and I just was like, no, man, just stereotype. He was the basketball player and needed help in the education. It was stereotype, matter of fact, not even that like, it was a stereotype where I wanted he was supposed to to me, and I was just like, man, just go take my test for me. Oh so he was a super black.

He was a black job right, all right? We got more with Chruss Williams from Black Lightning when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Angela, yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have Chriss Williams from Black Lightning in the building, Charlemagne. But how to roll a Black Lightning happened? You know? I saw that they were auditioning, and I wanted, uh, you know, it's been a top of my list Player, superhero Man.

Uh thankfully. Yeah. I just like because I would have never thunk it because as a kid, we didn't see it, but we didn't sunk money. I like, funk I've never heard you use that word in my life. We got at being in the room all of sudden, you want to say your words like funk o. Yes, I've never funking, yes, yes, um no. I mean it's just you know, I said, I grew up watching these things and they started making movies and television. The technology is now where you could

see like the special effects. So I was like, man, I want to do this. And I auditioned for Luke Cage way back in the day. It didn't get it to play Luke. Yeah. Yeah, I don't see you as a little Cage. Yeah well I thought at the time, But now I'm happy that that didn't happen because I'd rather play black Lights. But yeah, I got the audition, and I just it actually happened pretty easy. Like from what I was told, they like they were always thinking of me. Why do you think it's such a hunger

for black superheroes? Man, there's a hunger for diversity, and I think it's honestly, it's because of the dude we got in the White House. I think everybody like and things that are going on in the world. I always look at it, like we thought. I always kind of liking it to roaches and we thought, you know, prior to this, we thought that we had like squashed a

lot of roaches. And then with him coming in and it kind of turned on the lights and we looked around and whoa, we got a lot more roaches than we thought. And so I think that made artists rise up and want to like, you know, swing the pendulum the other way and wait, so we're getting a lot more diversity. You're just funny you say that, because I was thinking about this this weekend. We have to make sure that we're not reacting to them the way they

reacted to Obama. And then like like like there was a lot of irrashal I'm not gonna say irrational, but there was a lot of the way we're acting towards Trump is the way that inside was acted towards Obama. Right, Well, yeah, and well I think it's always got to be rooted in action, you know what I mean. And and uh, I don't like getting back and forth with the name calling and uh or just the generalization of like republican Democrat. It can't be that like bad, evil, racist people are

only Republicans. Like it's it's on both sides and not even crime Bill came from Democrats. Right, you gotta call it, you gotta call president as they like to say. Okay, right, I think we just gotta call action to action. So you see something that's wrong, I don't care if you're a Democrat, I don't care if you're Republican. Wrong is wrong. I mean Trump his actions are very clear. How is that being a father? Because you got three kids and

how are you raising them kids? I mean, I'm just trying to make them, you know, the best people they can possibly be. Like it doesn't necessarily change how I raised them, but there it just it does change. Like I don't know, I have these thoughts, you know, in the car, We're looking at the way the world is, and I'm like, was it responsible that I'm bringing kids into the into this right now? Because I I mean, my wife and I we had this little phrase at times.

You just see something that's happening, I just like, you know what I want to get off? Can we stop the train because I want to get off. I want to get off this. I want to you know, like I just want out all this. Are you kids? Yes? Okay, yeah, yeah yeah, A white wife. Yeah, Italian I Tali. Yeah, I tell you, I te How was that going into an Italian home? At first? It was scary? Uh, it was scary. I mean it would be honest. I mean well, I just thought, like, I mean, I knew she had

a big Italian family. I'm like, Okay, one of y'all gotta be racist, like one of y'all like like how would you look? And just your number? Your number? One of y'all gotta hate me, you know, even just meeting their parents. I mean, I think it's just like I grew up primary in California and southern California, and I just I'm always cautious. So the minute I leave my neighborhood, I'm expecting trouble. Right. I was scared. I was worried. And thankfully they like they got they squashed all that.

Like my in laws are amazing. How is your family? Because I know that you know, back in those days, you know, Mama only wanted to see a black woman with it with a black man. My mom was cool, but I mean I got it. I guess I caught it from her my mother, like growing up watching you know, like I said, my mother. My parents divorced so when I was a baby, so I don't have memories of them being married. So my mother was single. She never remarried,

but she was dating. And my mother dated everyone, And so I guess I grew up watching like all all races coming through the house. You know, she's mad on her as a black superhero. Are you aware that white women are a black man's kryptonae? What I ever aware of that? Yes? Yea? So so what is black lightning in the characters? Didn't mean to you? Just like black excellence. Man. I mean, the thing that I'm struck with and I'm

really proud of is that Jefferson Pierce. You know, the alter ego is like he's a heroic person even if he doesn't have powers. Him and his wife are divorced, but he has custody of his daughters. He's raising his daughters. He's a principal and a teacher, uh like community leader. So it's like all these things and I don't I still didn't really come up with any other superhero black otherwise whose alter ego is that heroic without powers? Um black,

he's a king, that's true. Yeah, yeah, I mean but most of the time, like you know, he said garbage a Superman. I mean, he was just a reporter. There's nothing like heroic about that. You know, batmana is a rich playboy. The word you know what. You know what I hate about Superman now as you say about it, more than now we all say white people. They all say black people look alike. White people look so much like that Superman can just throw some glasses on and

that I don't even thinking about that. Y'all know, it's not real, Like it's it's fake. People write it's like like I act like it's real, Like yeah, but I see issue thirty five. Why is it important to have like black superheroes in this political climate, especially with the messages that are in black lightning. When I first thing I got, when I got the role, I almost went back to being a kid because the first thing I thought of was myself as a kid. I was like, man,

this show was being on, was gonna be on. I would circle the calendar. I would be like so hype that this show was on, and you know, we never had I remember Selim, the creator of the show, he was talking about he was a Batman fan growing up as a kid, but like when he went off to get the Halloween costume, He's like the Batman mask had like a mask, but like then the face was white white. Yeah, and he just had to just and he would talking about like putting gloves on the cover his skin so

he could like play this hero. Well, that alone is ridiculous that we didn't have a superhero that we could like emulate for now, for our kids, like to have a black superhero, not just one, but like multiple black superhero on Black Lightning. You know, my daughters are also superhero so it's like we have black female superheroes. I mean, this is gonna be like our kids, This is gonna be their normal that they're gonna you know, I took

my daughter, I'm playing Black Black Lightning. We went to go see Black Panther, and I'm sitting right next to you and seeing all these these black women who were just like the foundation of the film. Weeks later, I take it to go see A Wrinkle in Time, and the girl and her are like so much alike and it's like, this is gonna be their normal and what is that gonna do for their self esteem? But they're confidence absolutely just their identity moving forward that we didn't have.

We had to overcome that. We need more of that though, We need more family friendly films like that, because what you say makes a lot of sense. I remember I took my daughter to see Black Panther and then I went to the Wrinkle in Time premiere in La. Yeah, so it's like she saw those back to back representations. Yeah, and then that night she met Oprah and Able Duvena. So that's a whole nother level of superia representation. Yeah. But thank you for joining us, man, Thanks for having

Chris Williams Black Lightning. Make sure you check it out, and we thank you for sharing so much this morning. Man. Oh, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me, Man, I had. It's to Breakfast Club. It's Chriss Williams the Breakfast Club. Bring everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Odell. It's about report is the rumor report? Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, now, Odell Beckham,

that's your guy, right, Envy, Yes, Odell Beckham Junior. Well, he gave an interview where he talked about Eli Manning and basically kind of blamed him for certain things that were going on this season. How's your record for the Giant so far? We're in third place, one in four Right, all right, here's what Odell Beckham Junior had to say. He's not gonna get out the party. He's not you know, Eli's not running. Is it amount of time and you can't?

Can you still do it? Yeah? It's been pretty safe, and it's been you know, cool catching the shadow and trying to take it to the house. But I'm you know, I want to go over the top of somebody. I feel like I'm being out schemed. And then I also don't have a chance to like do something well, I gotta take a slant and go safety. And not to say it's not fun, but it's like I want I

want some easy touchdowns too. I'll watch everybody across the league, all the type receievers get the ball the way that they you know, should, and if they don't, they say something about it. I mean, he may be correct. He's correct. It just sounds crazy for a guy that's never wonted nothing to be critique in the two time Super Bowl champion. No, he's correct. Well, he didn't backpedal. He didn't backpedal after

this last game on Sunday. And here's what he had to say about these statements because he's not taking it back, and he doesn't regret saying that actually bought the team closer together. I don't regret anything that I said. If it took that for us to come together as a team like we did today, I could take that. Every single time it had been on my heart, and I think all the stuff that was built up inside it just kind of it came out in the wrong way.

U and I texted him and I asked if I can have a minute just to talk to the team. If we're not all on the same page, if it's not authentic and real and we can all understand each other, then there's gonna always be miscommunication. Yeah, I'm not mad at what he said. I don't understand why he had to say it publicly. It's a football team, Like, well, don't you got locker rooms and stuff for that? Like it's not like Eli Manning was out there bashing him public.

I'm sure he probably did say it in the locker room and nothing probably changed. He probably was very frustrated. I'm definitely sure. I just thought, when it comes to a team sports, I think it should be kept inside. But Eli Manning said he hasn't heard anything, and he said Odell and I have a great relationship. Our mindset will be everybody stay focused on beating Philadelphia. So that was his comment after that. All right, Kat Williams, what

happened that he got arrested. He's Kat Williams. Now, we told you he got arrested for allegedly assaulting his driver. But he's still in jail in Portland. And apparently he was supposed to be in court. He had a scheduled court date, but instead the people around him didn't tell him about the schedule court date because they wanted him to get some shine at the Emmy's. His management team didn't tell him that he was due in court in atlant at the same time that he was going to

LA to attend the Emmy's. So I guess he had a warrant out as well. So a lot of different issues going on here, and this is why it doesn't matter how funny you are, how much talent you have, if you're always a liability. If you're a career liability, this is why you don't get to the next level. Yeah, Kat Williams on his bed, he would have went and went to court and took care of that business instead of going to the award show if he had to.

All Right, still assaulted to drive it though, Yeah, yeah, and that's how we found out about the war and he got arrested. He's got a lot going on the liability regardless. All right, Now let's discuss Jonah Hill. It looks like he might have some type of deal with Adidas. I don't know if you guys saw his post, but he posted a picture and he's Adidas and he says

something fun coming from me and Adidas. So I'm not sure exactly what that means, if he has his own Adidas launching, or if he's going to be endorsing them or just has the project coming with them. But he posted another picture said got my new reading in the bathroom waiting to take a bath, and then he put at Adida's originals hooked it up. So maybe he's doing something, all right, and Antonio Brown this story if you guys do have kids, so this will affect you, I'm sure.

Now he's being sued allegedly what happened is he was in a violent rage back in April, and he was throwing furniture off the balcony of his fourteenth story apartment building. While according to Old fair stir Burg, who is suing Antonio Brown, some of those items almost hit and killed his twenty two month old son who was walking around

the pool at the apartment complex. That's when they said large objects started to fall from the building many floors above them, including two very large vises, an ottoman, and other pieces of furniture which actually landed right near the toddler and his grandfather. So right now they are suing saying that they caused extensive damage and the child was terrified and traumatized by that incident and has had night

terrors as well. He's suing for assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and saying that Antonio Brown acted without regard for human life. If this is true. By the way, y'all can't be throwing furniture off an apart out of a window in the complex of people are walking around below you. Yeah, you know, I don't throw nothing out of a window where you know people maybe walking down. If you're like in a city or someplace where you know people could be by the pool or something. You

don't do that, not at all. Yeah. I don't do that period. All right. I'm angela Ye. And that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss Ye. Vote. Will see you guys tomorrow.
