We're not just here for our health though. We're not here because we want to be here. But I don't want to be It's nice, the weather's eighty degrees. It feels good, and you get free breakfast for real everybody. Yeah, sure, yeah, everybody gets free breakfast. Hello.

I just want to make sure everyone is welcome, but it is first come, first served, so we get here late and there's no more breakfast. You don't get free. Eddie says, we are on it, so it said, sounds good so far. It's the only time we really the breakfast club. Then actual breakfast for the people. Absolutely when y'all get to Miami yesterday, you got here yesterday. I

got it late last night. I was in a DC all day yesterday I was on Capitol Hill speaking on this panel for Black History Month called twenty first Century Solutions, Same Challenge, Multiple Paths Dope, which ended the Tim Scott and Van Jones and a few other people, and we was out there just having a conversation. Don't come about different things affecting the black community. Then I flew here and the first thing I did when I landed around nine thirty pm, that's what I went to the liquor lick.

You went to the licking, and oh I did? I was hungry. Did you go to gym? I didn't go to the gym. Did you release it yet? Yes? I did? Oh? Thank god? Why are you worried about what? Because did you gonna be all over here and it's gonna be all smeller? You know why you say that? Because I know you stop looking on the beach too, right next to buy idol. Yes they do, yep and and shout

to myself. I want to shout to myself today. Let me tell you today it's a seventeen year anniversary of my album that I released my debut album, Drop Drop, Drop a Bomb. Seventeen years since I dropped my debut album, The Block Party. It had jay z DM man. That's funny. I don't think nobody cares, but you. I do care. As I saw, I'm shot myself. You don't even care because you didn't have somebody posted. You got on Instagram and tagged you. That's how you didn't even know. That's

how I know. But I'm a posting now. That album means nothing to you. It means everything was my start, one of my starts. Everything that I do means a lot. Today is the you don't even know the date eleven February eleven. I would be honest with you. Have clued on posted the don't count because it came out on Desert Storm. It didn't come out on Desert Storm. Shout the Clue, shout d shout the schame because Clue always

post fabulous anniversary albums. See if you post that. Now I gotta text him telling you better posted now see shag him. Now. Who's joining us this morning? Oh man, we got Angela Rys coming this morning. Angel Rob will be joining us this morning else as well as Oliver Gilbert. Right, Oliver Gilbert. He's the mayor of Miami Garden. Yes, so he looks like he's in the NI. He's always got on the bull tie barely. Yes, okay, fresh shave. He'll be joining us this morning too. All right, Well, let's

get the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about. Well, I know yesterday you were talking about the new league right for football that could potentially be XFL. Yeah, the XFL. So we'll tell you what they are saying is the reason why Colin Kaepernick isn't playing, and we'll talk about their opening weekend. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep a lot this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, you're out of your DJ envy, Angela yee,

Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news where we start with you. Well, let's start with the XFL. You were talking about this. They're saying that if this version of the XFL last one full season, then it will beat out the Alliance of American Football. Now, if it lasts more than that, then it will outlast its first iteration. So it's XFL two point zero. And they are saying that one thing that stood out was that all four games were on

major networks. There were two games on Fox and one on ESPN and one on ABC, and they said early ratings returns were pretty good. They just have to keep that energy going. I thought it was pretty good. I watched it. I watched a couple of games. I thought it was entertaining. I thought it was really really good. You could tell like a lot of those players are playing very hard because they want to get in the league. I just think they need a star. They need a

star college. He could have been that start, but they said they spoke with his representation and they said the salary requirements were exorbitant. You know, he did make over forty million in his six NFL seasons and the average

salary for XFL players is about fifty five thousand. So wow, it should have gave me to gave him some equity and the actual league because he would have been a face that they should again a little extra money three five percent of the actual whole x because if I'm Colin Kapnick, I'm not playing for fifty five thousand now. It's like I got so much going on now. Well, I heard the quarterbacks in the league make a little bit more like like a quarter million dollars from whatever

from something I read. So you're telling me the xx XFL didn't last the full season the first time. Yeah, I think it was just one season. Oh, one season? Okay, guy was pretty good though. The games were pretty good last week when I was watching. Yeah, so they just got to build on that and people got it. But being on major networks, I'm sure we'll how about a lot all right, Now, they were two police officers shot, and there's a suspect that shot allegedly shot those police

officers who was dead. That all happened at a Walmart shooting in Arkansas. How can y'all do that in the holy grounds of Walmart? Right? Well, they said the witnesses to the suspect was quote talking out of his mind at the time of the shooting. The officers were responding to complaints that there was a man threatening people, and

that man then pulled out a gun and shot. Both officers and the officers who responded to the incident were not wearing body cameras at the time of the shooting, but they said that the officers were treated to the incident and release. Oh so it wasn't a premeditated shooting where the guy was targeting police office. Now, I like the incident of the Bronx the other day. It looks like they were just at the warm right, they tried to show up and Amy Klobashar she is leading now

in the midnight vote in New Hampshire. So not a lot of people that have waited in on this, but it looks like her last showing and the last debates were pretty good. People really like Amy Klobshar. Now early though, I mean midnight. The poles opened at midnight in New Hampshire. Yeah, it wasn't a lot of voting. Yeah, so the actual polls open at what nine? I don't know what time they open this morning, but I mean they actually opened this morning, so I don't expect her hotel. I think

the post used to open at eight am. I'm not sure the direct time. All right, well that is your front page news, now get it off your chests eight on't drink five eight five one oh five one.

This to Breakfast Club, Go Morning, The Breakfast Club, the World's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good Morning. We're

nine four Northwest twenty seventh Avenue. There you go. That's right. Angel Angela Rye has joined us too. What's up, miss ry Hey Angela Ryan? Yes, my guy DJ Killer touches in here too. I got I don't know if I should say this. This car got declined yesterday. Your car got declined. You need to hold something bro Okay, But anyway, let's get into room. Right, let's get to the room.

Let's talk. The Rocks daughter report Angela on the Breakfast Club. Well, Dwayne the Rock Johnson his eighteen year old daughter, Simone Johnson's is training to be a WWE wrestler. She would be the fourth generation. Because wow, yeah, is that amazing? That's so that's scary for me. I want with my daughter to wrestler, I would be scared she get hurt. Get injured is fake. They still get injured as long as they Yeah, that's actually still not easy. You see

how they get flam It might be choreographed. Yeah, as long as they do it correctly. That prevents a lot of injuries in wrestling. And you also can't control what the other person does correct, so they could land on your neck wrong. But her great grandfather started the dynasty of very talented wrestlers. So The Rock corresponded to the news on Instagram. He said, to the little girl who fell in love with wrestling and said this would be my life one day. This is for you. I'm humbled,

grateful and ready to work. Let to do this. And her mother also posted a response on Instagram. While the legacy of the family, maybe your platform, your future will be uniquely yours to earn. That is very true. It seems like it's big shoes to feel but truly she has her own unique lane because she is a woman wrestler, know what I mean. It's not like they're going to expect her to go out there and be Dwayne the Rock Johnson. She could be her own thing all right now.

Black China. People were wondering, why was she on the red carpet at the Oscars. Was yeah, she was there, Yeah, black Chinachina. Yes, like black black child at the Oscars. Yes, what, Well, there you go. Now she's saying it's because of racism, that's why people were questioning diversity. Well, no, she said, racim is why people were even questioning that. She said, there's a lot of people that you know, you could say why is she there? But she says she believes,

she believes she belongs there. She contributes to the entertainment industry as a star of her own reality show as a black woman Goodness who finds inspiration in supporting her friends, mentors, and other talent that has helped provide a blueprint for her career. That is her quote. I thought the Oscars are just trying to feel quotas. You know, if you need more diversity, you need some black and US agents or some all right. And Avra Dubernay is going to

be directing a Nipsey Hustle to documentary. It's been picked up by Netflix. It was a whole bidding war for it, so it's a co production between her company and Nipsey Hustle's Marathon Films. The project was secured by Netflix. They said everybody wanted it and that's where it's going to land. I still can't wait to see that. I wonder what

it's about. I saw at Nipsey Hustle docum. I didn't see the whole thing, but I saw portions of something when we was running around doing the opportunities own legislation stuff, and it was him and David Gross. I wonder if that's if that's it, if it's something new all right now? Justin Bieber, he's been opening up in his docuseries about a lot of things that he went through, including his

drug uses. Here's what he had to say. There was a time where I was sipping lean, I was popping pills, I was doing molly, you know, shrooms, everything, and it was just an escape from me. I was just young, but my experience was in front of cameras and I had a different level of exposure and people, and like I had a lot of money and a lot of things.

So then you have all these people around me just kind of hanging on wanting stuff from me, knowing that like I was living this lifestyle that they also wanted to live all right now, you can always find a silver lining no matter what, and he talks about how

lime disease actually helped him. Honestly, I'm committed to getting better and committed to doing whatever I have to do, whether it's inconvenient or not, because I know ultimately it's not only for me, but being the best me is going to help be the best husband, the best father, the best friend I can possibly be, And for all the fans that I want to enjoy the music that I make and stuff, I can't do it if I'm not healthy. And I haven't been healthy for a long

time now. How life threatening is lime disease? Because I got a couple, I got a friend who had lime disease, and I don't know if it's the end of the world or not. Well, Listen, you just have to make sure you stay healthy or you can't keep doing you know, living fast like that, because I could make it even worse for you. So you got to make smarter decisions

when you know anything could happen. So he wants to improve his health and be the best husband he can be, and his wife Harley also talks about how him having lime disease has been life changing for the better. That goes back what I was saying last week. It's like, y'all, I want to hear Justin Bieber's music reflecting what's really going on in his life. Like all his records sound like they were written by somebody else and they're just like that pop generic formula that a lot of Maybe

just maybe that's just the singles for radio. Maybe his album will be I wouldn't hope, So I want to I want his music to be as deep as some of his interviews be. You know what I mean? You know, I know it's something that my dog has lime disease. I just found out my dog. I can't believe dogs, but it's a lot. It's a lot like a dog he can use it loses vision at times. Like it's a lot that they have. See he told you. The doctor told me when I took that told me that

the dog can lose vision. There's a lot of things that make you feel sad. Look like my Chuck Norris has lime disease, but he's good money. And I was gonna say with Justin Bieber, his song intentions that he has with Quavo, that is kind of a reflection of him trying to be a better person than do positive things. I haven't heard it, so you mean to tell me the video I saw with him with all the need girls in the trap bouncing up and down. That's a positive video. I don't know what the song is. That

wasn't a trap. That wasn't a trap, right, wasn't it like an orphaning Yeah? He would not thought Quabo post beave in the trap. Yes, man, you ain't that video. I ain't see that. Man. They're actually going to help out people that They got a lot of donations that were raised for this um it's a charity organization called the Alexandria House. They actually helped people move from crisis to stability for women and children in need. So that's

where they were. So they were actually raising money and awareness and they started a whole campaign for that too. Our producer Daniel said it was at One Oak they were, man's a transitional Which video are you talking about? No childrens hospital? To me? Well, there was not a hospital. I don't know whatever. All right, Well, anyway, that is your room and report on angela year. All right, thank you,

miss yea. All right, we'll live We're broadcasts a lot about Miami Soul Cafe one on three five debat, and we got Frontage News when we come back, Yes we do. We are going to be talking about the XFL and why Colin Kaepernick didn't end up playing in the XFL even though they wanted them. All right, and Angela rays here, we'll talk to her next hour two, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We're broadcasting live out in Miami Soul Cafe one on three five debats. What are we doing here? Of course, there's voter registration. We're encouraging people to come down in register to vote. I'm trying to voter. Registration is now available at Miami Garden City Hall or doors opened at seven am Monday through Thursday, seven am to seven pm. You can go out there in register to vote. All right, Well, Lai is here with us as well. Yeah, we're gonna

kill her next. But we got front page news. What we're talking about you, Yes, we're gonna talk about the XFL. I know you said you watched this first opening weekend I did, and you said it was very enjoyable. I thought it was good. I thought it was good to see a lot of those players you could tell playing hard. Maybe they want to make it into the NFL, but they were playing hard. It was no no light work, they were working well. All four games were on a

major networks. Two games were on Fox, there was a game on ESPN, and a game on ABC. So that's good news. They said. Early ratings materials were good. But every new football league, they said, normally it gets a lot of eyeballs opening weekend. The real test is gonna be, well this keep up after opening weekends. So they said for some reference um on the ratings they got about the AAF got two point nine million viewers for his first game on CBS, and they considered that to be

a huge win. I mean, if the games are good, people are watching. I mean football seasons in a round, right football season is over, They're gonna need to stand out somebody that people can you know, look forward to watching, whether it was like it's Brady or it's Odell Beckham. They're gonna need some of those where people would really want to just go to the game to see that.

If you know, they need a star. Basic. Yeah, absolutely gotlin Kaepernick should win to the XFL and made them give him equity in the league, I think, but they did it. Stalary demands were too hot, but maybe they weren't giving up equity. I'm sure they weren't. But yeah, so if he can't get that, you know, they're not going to give that up. But they said his salary demands were just too high to play quarterback and the XFL was exorbitant. They said they spoke with his representative.

The salary requirements were certainly out of their arrange. I wonder if his agents even asked for that, though, because I mean, that would have been dope for him, because you know, you give him a little bit of equity in the in the organization, so even after he stops playing, he can still be a voice for the XFL and the recruit players to come there, Like you would have made a lot of sense for them to do that, right,

still does. Actually, Yeah, and he made over forty million dollars in his six seasons, and the average salary for an XFL player is about fifty five thousand, so I'm sure he would have got you know, a nice six figure salary, but not the millions that he would be used to. Yeah, the highest count dract I saw an xfl the quarter million dollars. True. And they said the games, all four of them got an attendance between seventeen and

eighteen thousand people. So that's not like numbers at all. Yeah, all right, now let's talk about the midnight vote in New Hampshire. They said Amy Klobisher is leading, but there's not a lot of votes in yet, so I think it's hard to tell. But they said she won the most votes to win a little more than two dozen New Hampshire residents cast their ballots shortly after midnight and

the first in the nation primary. That means nothing right, it's nothing rights too early and oh I'm sorry the midnight primary has it's a tradition and they're like two people. It's not a little more than that. It's like twenty four people, very small primary. That's it, baver twenty four people. That was the midnight win. There's still another whole election day on Amy's team. Do you cheer on right now? Yeah?

Amy win number one? Right now? Okay, vote celebrate every victory, have a momosa this morning, Amy, But I'm sure we're going to talk more about that in just a few minutes. All right, Well, Angela Roy is here, we're gonna kick it with her when we come back. We got a lot to talk about. We've been saying something for the last what three years, that we want it, and it happened. Well, it happened. It did happen. It did happen, but didn't

get nothing happened. But I don't think anybody anticipated that, right, what's that him getting removed? I think that people certainly hoped for it. We did. I prayed on it. Pray, Lord did not hear your prayers. I would never wish any of my time with God on that prep My goodness, Angela rib when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the

Breakfast Club. Now we're broadcasting live in Miami Soul Cafe one h three, five to beat. We're encouraging people to register to vote. So we're out here too. I believe what noon? We are here to noon? No, we're not here till noon. Yeah, why would you say that? No, Voter registration is now available at Miami Garden City all Monday through Thursday, seven am to seven pm, and you can register the vote with us until we're here. Tell about ten am, ten aye, But how long's the truck

out there registering people all day? Eleven? I believe we don't give me the line. Man, I'm not responsible. Get here as soon as you can. So well, we have Angela right here. Good morning, miss right, good morning. We need to fact check that voter ration. We'll get We'll get the facts. I know for a fact. He's here till ten am, because we're here till ten am. Okay, that's all I can account for. Now. We've been asking and talking about impeaching the president. Yes he was impeached,

but what does that mean nothing? It seems like it. Well it does mean something. So this is the first president who will have ever run for a second term as an impeach president. What Okay, that's that's what you are on this morning. It's the truth. Okay. Well, encourage people to term register to vote, nonetheless with your pessimism. But um, I think what we were hoping for is that after impeachment, which of course happens on the House side that the Senate side would remove him. Um, that

did not happen. Um. There was only one courageous Republican on one of the articles of impeachment, of course, that was Mitt Romney. Now what happens to him? He's an outcast now, well nothing. They never were super close. There was never this deep soul brother connection. We know that Donald Trump took him out to talk about an ambassadorship and that ended up being a laughing stock at a rally virtually the next day. So I don't think much. Why yeah, why people Actually they can do something to

met Ronnie. Ronnie he's a rich white man. That's like the one super villain versus another one. Yeah, you know what I mean, Yeah, both bosses. Now we also see that Donald Trump, they said he's polling higher than he has been, right, and so does this make him more invincible? I think that he has never not been invincible. Clearly, there's nothing that Donald Trump can do that warrants an evaporation of his base. Like, no matter what he does, he is able to keep a consistent base of support.

I think that is when you look at what happened with the Republican Senate, why they didn't vote for his removal. He has a ton of support in there with their constituencies, with those states, they are solid red. And what's even scarier is the fact that they would not vote to remove him. Says they agree with him, and it's something that we've all kind of tacitly known but haven't said. I think it's really clear now they will not remove to someone who is at moral, who is corrupt, who

abuses his power, who would obstruct Congress both chambers. It is very clear that they want the judges at all costs, is very clear that they want immigration policy that is bigoted at all costs, um and they don't stand on the side of truth and righteousness. I think that is the truth of a matter. Trump's at the bar in twenty sixteen when he told everybody I could go out in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and my people would still love me. That was the bar.

The bar is I will shoot somebody and I'll be good. Could Yeah, so long as you don't shoot nobody else. Well, no, he still he'll still be fine. So what happens? So what's the plan to get Trump out of office? And as far as Democrats are concerned. Who are we looking for?

Who looks pretty good? Who's our hope? Well, before you are so grumpy smurf today, dude, do you know the thing that is so fascinating to me is I really think that it's not just in who the candidate is, it is in what issues will move us to the ballot. I believe strongly that when Barack Obama won in two thousand and eight, it wasn't just because we were voting um, because this man was awesome with a funny name and

had a great policy plan. I think that Barack Obama was an issue um for black and brown voters, for young voters, for some older voters that wanted to perhaps correct their pass and that issue was making history. So this time, um, there are only a couple of folks that we could be making history for. There are the women candidates, and there's being Buddha judge. Yeah, and Andrew Yang. Oh yes of course, but like, okay, don't yeah, you

guys are gonna get me, yann. That would be changing making history too that way for discussing that, No, it would be. But I just I think that the reality of an Andrew Yang victory is second to none at this point, right, he didn't even he didn't even although I would say Amy klobshot, people weren't paying that much attention to her until recently. The only differences there actually has been a caucus, and he did not perform well in the caucus and fired a lot of his team.

So that's the only reason why I would say, who's grumpy smurf? Now I'm just saying getting value ya Yang? And haven't we said that the last two elections though, that the people that were electable weren't electable. So here's a many people that we weren't electable they won Trump. Let's talk about that when we come back there. Angela rys here eight undred five eight five, one on five, when we're broadcasting live from Soul Cafe in Miami, we want you to come down here and register to vote.

We are here to ten, so we want to see you guys as the breakfast red Velvet Waffles going. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club were broadcasting live from Soul Cafe in Miami one on three five Guards Baby, we are encouraging you guys to come register to vote. We got some free food for you guys while supplies last, and come hang out with us, Saras come first, sir, Yes it

is now. I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna do my part all twenty twenty to get as many people to vote as possible. But I have to say I feel disingenuous because they still have not addressed properly the Election Security Bill. So how do we know that you know the election is even gonna be fair? So a few things. One is, what we know is if people don't engage by registering to vote, by calling their senators, by pushing for this legislation, it also won't be fair. What we

also know has not served us as apathy. So we have to motivate around some set of circumstances. I wish that Andrew Gillam could have come this morning, but there's also another thing today called a primary in New Hampshire, so he's working on that coverage. But Andrew stood an organization here in Florida called Forward Florida to register a million voters. There was a significant voter drop off after Barack Obama. I think the numbers went down from seven

hundred thousand registered Democrats to three hundred thousand. There have been purging of the role as roles in all of that. What we do know for sure is when we're up against voter suppression, we're not going to win. But what we especially know is if we're not registered and lest we don't go out to vote, or even in the worst set of that's exactly right. And so even if they're not playing fair, I think that doesn't mean that our response to that is to stay at home or

to not engage, because it's always been stacked. This system has been stacked against us from the beginning of the country's foundation. So there's no reason to disengage. Now why the black voters love candidates that have a history of racist policies because you know a lot of black voters loved Joe Biden. Joe Biden, And now I saw yesterday that Bloomberg. Did you see the tap tap No? No, But but did you see the statistics that Bloomberg has

more Black voters not in Bernie. So this is when this is what I think would be smart for candidates to do with the campaigns. If there's been a significant shift with Bloomberg, what that means is that all of the money he's spending on advertising Super Bowl, he's everywhere. He's all on digital, he's all on TV, on linear. And so what that says is that no matter where we are, we are we over index on social media, He's there right on TV ads, He's there ever present.

He's getting ready to go to Tennessee when most candidates are still just talking about New Hampshire, South Carolina and Super Tuesday. He's going to Tennessee next Yeah, but he can afford all of that. He can't. And that also tells us that if while money is in politics, it's always going to be stacked against candidates of color. So what do you think about Bloomberg? A lot of people in New York seemed to like him. They think he did a good job in New York. What are your

thoughts on Bloomberg? Bloom I have to tell you, I am really frustrated by the fact that Michael Bloomberg was the one who was holding up the Central Park five settlement. I have to tell you his policies around stop at frist and how they impacted black and brown people, especially black and brown boys, is troubling. I have to tell you that this tape that came out yesterday on social media that I think has one point three that's why

Bloomberg is racist was trendy. So yeah. So there's a tape from a conversation he was having at the Aspen Institute where he talks about how if you target a particular profile, they're likely to have guns, they're likely to have drugs. He put he focused on putting police in black and brown neighborhoods because he said that's how you would stop the crime. So of course, if that's how you stop the crime, more black and brown people are

getting arrested, and it's an unintended consequence. What is bad about this is this is not from the nineties. This is not a Hillary moment, super predator crime Bill moment. This was like a few years ago. So I'm just like, how do you reconcile that right and apologize that the black church in Brooklyn the day before you announced your candidacy.

That's what he did, right, But he had been asked to apologize for forever, right, And I think the other issue is he has all these black mayors, all of these black elected officials who he's supported for a long time coming out to support him. They look bad because all their constituents are like, you're not supporting someone who's in our interest. Now the other thing is, and I think that black folks do this more than anyone else.

Will support a candidate who's deemed electable, and by being electable, I think what you were getting at a little earlier, that means that they can't be good on any of our issues. So we will once again put all of our issues aside for incrementalism's sake and vote for someone who's electable, even though all of our stuff gets sacrificed.

I think it's time out for that. I think we can do both, get someone who's electable and good on our issues, and if we don't, it's gonna it's not gonna say we're just looking for somebody who can beat Trump basically whether or not those are the issues that matter. I think that's what's been happening initially. But now Joe Biden seems like he's sliding down. He's sliding down the pole by landing on his head. Goodness, So what do

you think is the explanation for that? You think it's these debates that he's not performing well in, or do you think other candidates are stepping up. I don't know that Joe Biden never expected to do really well in Iowa. I think you know, today's results will tell us um whether or not he can perform in a white state and win back to the Trump voter, which is how he kind of came into this race, is being known as the guy who can get the working class white person.

Right now, what it looks like is he can get the black vote. So that's where he's doing really well in South Carolina. We don't know what's going to happen in New Hampshire birth right now. He's not expecting. He's like waiting for Super Tuesday and waiting for South Carolina before that. Yeah, no, no, we gotta rap. Okay, you come back and talk about So she's not going anywhere, should be here all morning long. We'll talk to her law, so don't move. And we got rumors on the way

what we're talking about. Yes, we are gonna talk about Nicki Minaj because Queen Radio made it to be tearing yesterday. So we'll tell you it. Yes, we'll tell you it's you have to say her first Queen Radio of the year. All right, we'll get into that next keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ MVY, Angela Yee, Charlomagne and guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Good morning. We out here, we are, We're all side.

That's right. We're broadcasting live from the Soul Cafe out in Miami Miami Gardens. Shout to one or three five to beat. We're encouraging people are registered to vote. We outside, that's side. And you can register to vote today at Miami Garden City Hall Monday through Thursday, seven am to seven pm. So they are going to accept completed applications. You can also call three or five six to two eight thousand from more information. And we got applications out here, right, yeah,

we got out here. We got applications here in Miami Soul Cafe. You can come out here and register to and we got food, yes we do. We haven't got Angela Angela here as well, Angela d I know you go to different markets and you try to encourage people to vote. How important is our people registering to vote? To make sure we get out there and vocus. A lot of people like voting. I don't care, you know, they don't feel like good and none of these candidates

stand for me. Is that that well, I think partially, But more than anything else, we need to stand for ourselves. Um. This is about honoring the ancestors, honoring each other, and honoring the future. I think more than anything, UM, we can't expect for people to do for us what we won't do for ourselves. And I think that's where we have to start again. Commending um Andrew Gillen for what

he's doing with Forward Florida. Thinking about the last time we were here, I think, well, v you weren't here car show, okay, but we were down here trying to get people to register to vote. But UM, with that, I don't know if you all remember the gentleman that came to talk about Amendment four on the ballot and because black people turned out to vote, Um, folks who were returning citizens from being incarcerated were re enfranchised, right, And I think that now this is another fight that

we have to take on. It was kind of too good to be true. So with that progress, they try to dial it back. They've been fighting people on past binds. So some folks haven't been able to register to vote, particularly in this state. So the ACLU and others are taking it on and saying, look, you cannot make people pay to vote, which is essentially what you're saying. If they don't pay their fines, they can't be registered to vote.

So even being able to take something like that on, it doesn't have to be the candidate of your choice. It could be the issue of your choice. What issues are you willing to stand up? Those bubbles outside right now too? I just spoke to those Yeah yeah, but if you have a Democratic candidate who has no black issues, are no black agenda, how is it standing for ourselves, Like we're voting for people that aren't gonna do nothing for us anyway? Well, I don't think that that has

to be the case. I also think that if we're just sitting around waiting until November or for example, and I think we should say this as well. In Florida, voter registration day is at the final data register is February eighteenth. Okay. I think that is important because if we're only sitting around to wait to go to the polls, we are not truly politically empowered. So there are candidates who may be okay on your issues, why can't you

call them and talk to them. Why can't you reach out to their campaign and say, these are some of the things that I expect you to be good on in order for you to get my vote. You need to be great on these five things. Why can't you do that? Right? You have to be You can't complain about a system if you're not even trying to do anything about it. That's right. We're the only we are the only group of people who think that our politics

are optional. Every other enfranchised power empower group in this country knows that politics are not optional. It impacts your everyday life. So you can participate in it to ensure that it is representing your best interests, or you can sit around and let it just impact you. I think Black people feel like, you know that because they treat us like an option. Who so I think that we have to be careful with um. Black people think that, right. Like.

One of the things that I've been fighting against, especially this cycle, is the African American voter. It's voters plural because we are interested in different candidates and different issues and have different takes on how we get to the end goal. The bottom line is yes on both parties. Within both parties, we have been treated as optional. Why we have allowed that. We have allowed that. There are people who are in power, in positions of power who

are not representing our best interests. Remove them, right, And there are people running from office now because they want to change that, and they are us. Yeah, especially in local well, and we had some folks who were on the national stage. We had Kamala and Corey who were absolutely speaking to our issues, and honestly some of us cannibalize them right like we were. Oh, Kamala's record, her prosecutorial record, Amy's out here killing it. And Amy's prosecutorial

record is worse than Kamala Harris's. And She's voted to support some of Trump's judicial picks. That's damning. We're not holding her accountable to that. Angela rys here, she's not going anywhere. And we got rumors on the way. What we're talking about you, Oh, we're gonna talk about Nicki Mina's Queen Radio that came back yesterday. So we'll tell you some things that happened because fifty cent dropped by our girl Malibu. Mitch was on their freestyle in So

we have some of that for you. All right, don't move, it's to breakfast club. Good Morner right voting everybody to CJ mvy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy we are to breakfast club now, usually Charlomagne give somebody his donkey of the Yeah, we usually do donkey to day right here, but we are in Miami registering people to vote and also being at the setup is sold bootleg. I don't want to be in the middle of donkey and then we cuts off. This cuts off. So we have Putula

Berk here. Putula burn She is the director of Civic Engagement from Miami Garden. She is out here helping register people to vote. Good morning, Fortula, good morning, thank you. What are some of the misconceptions when it comes to voter registration? That's hard. We've made it easy in the City of Miami Gardens. You can come to our city Hall Monday through Thursday seven am to seven pm registered to vote, and we will actually send it into the

Supervisor of Elections for you. So it's really that simple. There's really nothing else for you to do. How long is a process? Like five minutes? Hey, you do it online also, you can do it online, but we have the paper. It's easy and we make sure because then we make sure it gets in so there's no sort of hiccups, so to speak, as a law on line to wait to register to vote, I gotta wait hours. No,

that's really way. You can come in. And if you're at the front desk, there are other people in city Hall. So if there's a long line, we can come down and make sure that that doesn't happen. But if I'm scared of city Hall because I smell like cush and you know I'm just driving through, were not arrest in votes. We want you to register to vote. Your voice counts, and the only way your voice counts is if you register, so you can smell like coming down. There not a problem,

you know. Now there's new Now there's new laws. Some people feel like maybe they're not eligible to vote. So let's talk about who is eligible who's not. So if you are a returning citizen, so if you have been released from prison, you can register to vote here today we have the Florida Restoration of Rights Coalition right outside, so they will walk people through that process as well. All right, well, register to vote, give them the address, tell them what time you guys are there when they

can come register and all that good stuff. One eight six zero five Northwest twenty seventh Avenue in Miami Gardens. We are here Monday through Thursday, seven eight to seven p Now, what do you say to people who feel like their vote doesn't count. It doesn't count if you don't vote. That's the only way it doesn't count if you do not vote. If you vote, then your voice matters, and if then white people suppress the vote. But that's

a whole another issue. So if you can just tell the folks, when is the last day to register February eighteenth in order to vote in this prior correct February eighteenth, it's the last day to make sure you get out there and register to vote if you got exactly one week. If you can't make it, give them a website again where they can register online. I don't do. I don't have the website in front of me, but it's the Supervisors of elections. But really, just come down to city

Hall or they can come down today too. They can come down right now, they can come right here. They can come to city Hall anytime, and you can visit our web site Miami Gardens um flum dott. You can go to city Hall between seven am and seven pm. Everybody, we're here at Miami Soul Cafe right now. Patula is here right now, she can right now. That's right, that's right out of the solution. You're part of the problem.

Make sure you register the vote now. Anything I can lie about on my application, like what if I just want to say no, I wasn't convicted of a felony, don't lie. Okay, So it's not like a job application. They won't throw it away if they see us. To good Fellon. Okay, all right, Now, when we come back to May it's supposed to be joining the Mayor of Miami Gardens, Oliver Gilbert. We're gonna kick it with him when we come back, so don't move. We're broadcasting live

from Soul Cafe. We want to see you. Shout the Papa Keith. Shout to Bulletproof. We want to see you, So come on out represent with us. Shout out one to three five the Beat Family logic. We see you in the studio. It's the Breakfast clubal Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ MVY, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Angela ry Our's sister is here. She's holding it down with us all morning. And we have the mayor of Miami Gardens joining us, Mayor Oliver G.

Gilbert the third. Welcome, sir, thank you, Welcome, listen, welcome to line the guards. You gave my whole government name, and that's that's that's my whole government name. Let's let's start to a first and formed with all of the Gilberts. So you can not come into city hallspitaling like, don't play yourself. That's the first thing you say coming out, and we will prefer not. But we're still gonna register you to vote. Yeah, you can. You can vote high. I mean, it's not a rule. Yeah. So now let's

let's talk about getting people to register to vote. Why is that so important? Man? Look, you know what, because we always we did a great job as a community complaining the day after elections and criticizing the day before elections. We do a real bad job as a community voting joint elections. Right, you can look at every meaningful election over our lifetime when we showed up to vote, people who actually speak for us and represent us well actually win.

We refuse to even be a part of the conversation. We won't participate. To participate, you have to register. So I hear all these things about, oh, it don't matter, your vote don't count with a sure way, it won't count it if you don't register and you don't vote. So when you talk about people trying to suppress our votes, the best way they can do it is get you not to register, right, make you feel discovered, you feel like it doesn't matter, and then that way you're not

going to even bother. It's like that. I was the Devil's advocate. The greatest the greatest thing the Devil ever did was proved view that convincing the world didn't exist exists. Right, So this myth has perpetuated itself to hey, it's not gonna matter and everybody's the same and it won't make a difference. Listen, this is the difference between Barack Obama and Donald Trump. We showed up the vote. That is that is literally definitely true. You can see the difference,

you can hear the difference. You just have to ask your question. Do you care who represents you? Do you care who speaks for you? Do you care the issues that are pushed to the forefront? Do you care that about what we do as a national community, a state community, and a local community. Do you care well? I think that's the actual issue, is that a lot of black people don't think that these people have their best interests

at heart. They don't have none of our issues on the table well, and I think that is the issue. The problem is that becomes self perpetuating if they don't. If you don't register the vote, you can never have someone who actually has your issues on the table. And a good example is Luck when I came here, or one of the things that I did was so we don't stop arresting people. We're gonna give civil citations for marijuana. I don't want to put people in jail for marijuana.

But but that was a policy decision of someone who got elected, right, So, Mayor GiB But what made you decide to even run for mayor? Because we talk about having representation and people who look like us, who matter and who cares about us. What made you decide that this was your calling? Just Miami Gardens becoming a city. I'm a lawyer by trade, and I was comfortable being

a lawyer, partner the law firm making money. A Miami Gardens becomes a city in two thousand and three, and this area previously was was unincorporated, and and we um, you know, it's one hundred and thirteen thousand people in the books, those are people who want to be counting, right, Yeah, it's probably more like one hundred and forty because people hide, and you know, your baby daddy hide, and your your cousin. The people don't want to be counting. So it's and

it became a city. And I heard the way that people talked about us, and so they would say, oh, this is just another ghetto. This isn't just another inner city. And they're like, we gotta sixty three sixty four percent homeowner home ownership break. It's higher than the county average, the state average, and the national average. When did it start being a ghetto? When? When when black people moving into the suburbs. No, No, I knew who we work because I grew up here. I had a good understanding

of who we were at the time contemporaneous. I know what we can be. And so when I ran for office, I start talking about things like hiring police officers from this community. And we start putting kids from this community through the police academy. So now we have a community of kids who grew up here. Right, they're the police. That's our version of community police. And I talked about the fact that business development. Listen, you don't want businesses,

but everything zoned residential. Right, So let's change his owning. Let's change his owning. Let's go out there and and talk to people about the type of business and show them the actual numbers. You might think that we don't have money, but all this data say we spend a lot of money, right, right, We just spend it in an aventur and Pembrook Puns and on Brickle. We're spending a lot of money. It's Mercedes over here, it's red

bottoms everywhere. You can't walk through nowhere without seeing luke'sons. Okay, alright, I'm not saying he's not saying that like it's a good thing. It's a good thing that we do have money to spend. So when people say, well, that community won't support this business, of course they well right, And so we start going out to people like top golf, and we got the first viable top golf in Dade County was in Miami guards and people were so shot. We like nice things too, We like nice things too

that we can support those things. And angela earlier, you were talking about just going to talk to your local representatives about what it is that you need instead of sitting back and waitning for things to happen. What are some things that your community has told you. Okay, this is what we need in our community to have made you pay attention to stand up. How can people approach you so that you listen? Well you can. We have an open door policy. You can. Actually anybody can make

a point. And I've literally have appointments with people who were addicted drug. He came in to tell me that he was being harassed, and so I take appointments with everyone. But I also do something that I call tease. And so if you invite me into your house, we'll bring refreshments. You invite your neighbors, and I'll sit in your living room and answer your questions and listen to your ideas for as long as you want. We do a couple of them. You just say you're having drinks with people

and teasing them. At day, husband saying you know what he said, Well we come back, and Gilbert, where we come back? We have veto Yeah, yeah, it is what it is we have more with the man when we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking in with the

mayor of Miami Gardens, Oliver Gilbert, in the building. I wanted to ask, with super Bowl here right and the city making so much money, does any of that money go back to our communities or is one of those things where it's it's not going directly to us, it's it's It's complicated because we had a lot of conversation on social media about super Bowl and how it benefit in Miami Gardens and I was the city council in the last time it was in Miami Gardens and they

you couldn't get them to even say Miami Gardens on tv UM. We've seen some progress, but the money doesn't come back to the city. That money comes back to you, like for instance, when you when you're doing Super Bowl. When I went into a lot of the local restaurants, they were completely packed out. So a lot of times

people people get confused about how communities make money. Are super Bowls the government does not make money offer Bowls the government most assuredly, every government loses money on Super Bowls because we attract those big marquee type tourists tourism events, and people come and they stay in hotels, so the hotel makes the money. But our residents work in hotels, they sit, they go to restaurants, so the restaurants make

the money, right, the government doesn't make to them. We just kind of set the plate right, set the stage. And so we saw a lot of people come in two Miami Gardens, and we saw a lot of you know here the Lick and all these other places parties there Super Bowl weekend Miami Gardens. Yeah, we saw that type of thing. But as we mature as a community, one of the things that we're working on right now is is actually having hotels built in the city. A lot of times people think, oh, why don't they have

you know, the NFL Live experience in Miami Gardens. Well, because two hundred thousand people coming into the city in cars would be a problem every day. And you want places where there's hotel traffics. People can leave their hotel and walk to things on the beach and walk to things in Bay Side. Those are the type of that's the type of economy development we focus on um that in mainstream retail and entertainment that actually focuses on our needs.

So what we know is we are extraordinary community at setting trends. Everybody tries to imitate us, right, but we'd be trying to be somebody else. They're trying to be us. Literally, when I traveled to I was in a car in India on the back road. I had a guy. He was driving and I had hooked up to his car. He was the driver. We had been driving for like a week off and on, and when when he heard flow Rider, he starts singing, Welcome to my house, this guy who barely spoke any English on a back road

in India. Yeah, culture is permeated literally the world, but we find that we're always trying to be something else. You just be you and be good at it. If you're you and you're good at it, it kind of works out. We have to become comfortable with that. We've become comfortable with the idea that something else isn't better, that ice isn't colder just because man, it's not why it's like, it's ice, it's ice. So you can shave it and shape it and do all types of different things.

You can have it crushed, are cued, but it's ice. It's not colder because it's somebody else's, or it looks a different way. Let's vote a registration looking like here in Miami Garden. So far, you know, we One of the reasons I heard the Tula Birks on it, and she did a great job talking about it. One of the reasons I started the offer specific engagement, it's because I saw that people only talked about voting when it

was time to vote. The city should be registering folks to vote year around and so, and we made that commitment. So it just it trickles in, but we push it on everything. On all our emails that goes out, but all our events, it goes out. We want people to always have the opportunity because you know, people say that they people suppress our votes, and you know they may suppress our votes, but but I can't tell because we

don't try. When you think about historically you said they made suppress They may suppress our votes, but we're not. But we're not trying to vote. So when you go when you go to lines, these aren't dogs and water hoses and police officers guarding precincts. When you think about what people who did to actually vote, them making it harder and add another piece of paper, Well yeah, let's let's just do that. Let's do that. And when we actually vote as a community, what we can do is

we can elect people take away those suppressive laws. And so when you talk about voter suppression, yes, there are many of us who aren't even trying. But for those of us who do try, they do things like purge rolls. We know at the Amendment for there are folks who are returning citizens who've had to pay fines. That is a form of suppression because they're having to pay to vote. So I don't want to completely tell folks that they're not suppressive. Vote doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Oh, they

definitely nasty with it. I mean they are. But our job is to win and to vote. Anyway, I vot tries to try. And so one of the things when somebody asked me, I was having dinner with a group of businessmen. They said, well, what can we do to help register to vote? I said, well, why don't you Why don't you all when you all giving money to foundations. Since the courts say you got to pay, why don't you put put a million dollars in the frost. Put a million dollars in the trist and you have a

cross cross Florida. We're gonna pay for you to register to day if you got fines because most of the fine this is how you can This is how you can actually help, don't. I said, hey, listen, I appreciate the turkey giveaways and the book back giveaways, but if you really want to do something that I think is meaningful, put a million dollars in the trust. Letting start gaining some interests. Let people make the appointments. You got somebody walk down there with them. Hey, you want to register

the vote? No one should be prevented. That's how you make meaningful difference. So don't don't tell me about your community involvement. As we give our turkeys and at Thanksgiving, that's cool. I mean, we like turkey too, but I would much prefer those people we registered to vote, because when those people are registered to vote, listen, it's different when governors look down and they see people and when they see voters. It's different when presidents and Senators look

down and they see people and they see voters. Yeah, people may not affect what they do and say, voters definitely affect what they do and say, we've just been looking at people as our community. That's not how they look at start, right, they look at something in their own First. They want to stay elected. Okay, you want to stay elected. I'm the mayor of Miami Gardens. We have one hundred and thirteen thousand residents. We're around sixty

six thousand voters. Were the largest predominantly African American city and state of Florida. We are the largest home of working class, middle class black people. Question Florida said, you said, this minor Gardens seventy percent African American. Right, what are some of the specific policies if you put in place to directly impact that community? Well, everything I do directly impacts African Americans, because now we have we have basically

African Americans. Him. But when you look at whether it be little things like visiting every school and I leave her him going to Golden Glades right across right down the street here, visiting every school to let them know that a black man is the mayor of this city. And that they can actually be there. A kid who went to school in this community elementary school, middle school, high school, called the bus the law school is the

mayor of his hometown. Yeah, yeah, and so. But little stuff like that, or just giving laptops away the kids when they're going up college. If you go to college, we have this big laptop you give away Northwestern Carroll City in now Orleans, or to be jazz and gardances coming up, making sure that local businesses can't participate, or the hiring of the residents you're hiring preference, which says, hey, not just for police officers, but for everything. You get

a preference if you live here. So all of my policies affect us black people this portion because most of my residents are The reason I asked that question, because you know, when you look at these candidates and you know you have brothers and sisters who say, like, none of these candidates have our interests on the table. What are some things that you would share with some of these presidential candidates and policies that could work on the

national level. And black people have a greater interest than affordable housing and gun violence. Sometimes they talk to us like we're very basic and it's all we care about. Right. We care about international trade because that creates jobs. Right. We cared about the revitalization of the industrial economy. We care about all those Yeah, we listen. I'm building a park we just broke ground on it that has science, technology, engineering, mathematics,

recording studios, and television production area. I want to teach kids to do all kids do all those things on parks, right, I'm building a part to do that. Talk to us about things that meaningfully we care about the same stuff that other communities care about, but we don't hear about that.

So it's like a pet peeve of mine when people come to Miami Gardens and the very first thing they talk about is, oh, yeah, well, you know, I want to get affordable housing more affordable housing with the affordability of housing is an important issue and it should never be diminished. But understand this, there's some black people who go to work every day and and have degrees and they still can't found housing. And that's not just a black issue. That's a housing issue today. County talk about

those things. Talk about not having first time home buyer programs but having second time and third time home buyer programs, talk about down payment assistance for if you if you've rebuilt your CREP, talk about all those those things. Right, are there any candidates you like right now? Oh? Do you like Mayor Pete? Being that he's done. You know, Mayor Pee came here, mc meror pie came here, and

he actually had a roundtable here in Miami Gardens. And I know Mayor pet from the US Conference of Mayors. I'm on the national Board of the Steps of Mayors, So I like Pete. He's a good guy. I'm not committed to any candidate because honestly, I want somebody to stop telling me, speaking to me in platitudes and tell me how they're gonna be Donald Trump, because right now everybody's speaking to me in platitudes. Everybody's saying, Oh, this is good, and this is what I want to do.

What we know is that the President has actually found a way to speak to what I call our deepest, darkest selves. Everybody has something in them deep down that they don't necessarily talk about this kind of big at it. So when you see, you know, President Trump getting eighteen percent of the blackmail vote, that's because they were voting from that place. We need people to vote from a different place. We need them to vote from different place,

and no one's no one's spoken to me. Now, well, may we appreciate you for joining us this morning, Mayor Oliver Gilbert, the mayor of Miami Garden some thank you. He got his vote, tie on. He looks like I a member of the NY But you may well thank you for joining us to get out there and registered to vote. And thank you for joining us again. Thank you. I appreciate you.

Let's talk for Essa Briant. Listen, oh Reports Report Breakfast Club. Yes, Vanessa brian She has posted on Instagram and she said, I've been reluctant to put my feelings into words. My brain refuses to accept that both Kobe and Gig are gone. I can't process both

at the same time. It's like I'm trying to process Kobe being gone, but my body refuses to accept my Gig will never come back to me. Why should I be able to wake up another day when my baby girl isn't being able to have that opportunity. I'm so mad. She has so much life to live. But she said then I realized I need to be strong and be here for my three daughters. So she wanted to share that in case there's anyone out there that's experienced a loss like this, and she said she's also praying for

all of the victims of this horrible tragedy. Please continue to pray for all. Absolutely, I don't know how strong I could be like if I lost my daughter. I really don't know. I don't even want to think about now. Oh yeah, I can't even imagine what she's going through. And I'm not going to pretend to act like I can imagine what she's going through. Well, the memorial service

will be held February twenty fourth at the Staples Center. Again, you know, just to remind you, guys, because that's two different levels of grieving, right, Like you're losing your significant other, your soul man, and one of your daughters. Oh jeezus, christ all right now, the assassination of Malcolm Exit looks like it might be getting a second look after a Netflix documentary. Now, historians have long believed that this was

a bosch An investigation. Are you surprised? And for decades after the assassination of Malcolm X, the confessed assassin has said that the two other men who were convicted that accomplices had nothing to do with the murder. But now, thanks to this Netflix documentary series, they're saying that they may review evidence in support of the two men's innocence or the person that they say actually shot him is dead anyway. I mean, I watched the do Community this weekend.

I thought it was a great document I thought it was amazing documentary. But alert, so what you the guy? If you've ever read a book, you would know that anyway. The guy is dead New Jersey. His name was William William Butler, So he's dead anyway. So they want to reopen it to rewrite history and half history accurate. Cool, but it's not like somebody's going to jail for it now. Javante Davis, he is pleading not guilty. And that's after that video we saw of him grabbing his child's mother

by the neck. And her name is Trita and he is now fighting a domestic battery criminal charge after that video went viral, so we shall see what happens. He planing for a lesson charge because it's video, right, I mean they were playing. He wunna say they were playing. They were playing. They played like that all the time, little rough housing. You know what he's saying is he never hit her. He said, yeah, I was aggressive, and he said that in a post after that incident and

everybody saw that video. But he's gonna realize he's got some issues there. And by the way, I'm sure she's gonna stick up for now. We don't know that she actually, I think even Um came forward and said that he was, you know, very aggressive toward her. So, yeah, everybody saw it. Some shopping spree is gonna work, huh No, absolutely not. And that's also that type of behavior where somebody acts a certain way to you and then they try to make up for it by shopping spree.

Everybody is CJ mvy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's Black History Months. So what we're doing today's Charlemagne. Listen, We're gonna honor a Black History Month legend, for sure. But this was absolutely a new Black History moment. Man off for ever, first, Lady Michelle Obama, let me tell you something.

I don't particularly subscribe to this line of thinking, but I noticed statement she made. It really really, really impacted and touched a lot of people. It's really just another way of saying, don't let anyone disturb your peace. Personally, I subscribe to the philosophy of if they go low, taken to the floor with them. But Michelle Obama doesn't feel that way, and she expressed herself at the Democratic National Convention in twenty sixteen when she said this, the

Breakfast Club presents a new Black History Month legend. I also told you about our daughters when they set off for their first day at their new school, and the only thing I could think was what have we done? See? Because at that moment, I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become, and how well we managed this experience could

truly make or break them. That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight. How we urge them too, I nor those who question their father's citizenship or fake how we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country. How we explain that when someone is cruel

or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high. And that was another new Black History Month legend courtesy of the Breakfast Club. All right, Michelle Obama, what a queen. But when they go low, sometimes you gotta take it to the floor with them. But I don't. I'm not mad if you decided to take it, take the high ro. All right. Well, that is how Black History Month legend today. Now when we come back positive note, don't move. It's
