I'm waking good morning Usa yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo Good mor than angela ye, good Yoomagne, and they pieced up playing in is Friday? Yes, the weekend is here, Yes, the weekend is officially here. What's happening? How did everybody feel out there today? I'm good, I'm good, I feel good, I feel better. I got a little rest last night.

I'm feeling great. Weekend this hit, damn it? What about you? I wish I could say I didn't get rest last night because I slept in the car because I had to go to Norfolk State University Norfolk. They make sure to tell you to pronounce it Norfolk without the R dropping the clues bombs for Norfolk. I was there yesterday as a guest for their Vision Cast week, you know, speaking to the students in the Wildest Center, in particular a lot of the mass communication students and my good

friend April Wood it was the moderator. But on the way back, the weather in Norfolk was so bad that they canceled all the flights, every single flight. So he drove, I canceled, had to had to had to drive back six and a half, six and a half hours. You

should do that every week. It brought back a lot of memories because you know, driving from the Carolina sometimes to New York, New Jersey back in the day, you had to take that trip and go through VA, go through them back roads to two thirty What is it two thirty I can't even remember what it was anymore. No, it's the route they take where they got where they

drive over that bridge. What's that Chester people? Chestpe Bay Bridge? Yes, and the and the and the wind blowing absolutely, because because they say trucks will be flipping over some time and if you take that route, it saves you two hours or something like that saves your hour in like twenty minutes. Yes, that's where my night was last night. So I got back to New Jersey round three three thirty in the morning at home run three thirty in

the morning. That used to be the trip I used to drive that, I think every weekend, every other weekend back home to the crib. And it was like six six and a half hours. But you would get your best music in. You just turn on your your favorite albums and that way you can listen to a full album. It was. It was the best because the radio station has changed so much between VA in New York. So you you listen to your radio. You ride out and and try not to speed too much because the cops

they are are a little crazy. And in Virginia, you know, it's a common state place, common commonwealth state, so they will pull you over, lock you up for anything. Well, I was knocked out. We had we had a phenomenal driver flute. A young woman named Sean dropped on a club moss for Sean and and and she got us back safe. I missed those drives, those are those used to be the best drives? I know I didn't. I don't like long ride, bro, I can't do it. I didn't like him when I was a kid. Don't like

him now. I do not like road trips. I am the all way there yet person? Really? Okay? Yes, I don't like don't front when you hit there, when you get to the New Jersey turn back, he'd be like, oh almost there. No sleep, well you slept, Yeah, I will sleep. I wanted room. I wake up. I want to be there. If I wake up and we're not there yet, I'm going back to sleep till we get there. All right, Well, today we got a couple of guests joining us. We have Pete boota judge. He'll be here,

Secretary of Transportation. Yeah, Secretary people to judge. He always pops through when he comes in New York. He's here for the National Action Network convention, so you know he pulled up to the Breakfast club. And also comedian Tony Baker he'll be joining us. He's gonna be performing in

Caroline New York's comedy show this weekend too. Yes it sold out though, but yes, right he definitely can't Tony big campaign he was like, I want to go on breakfast Club and everybody named Mama was hitting us up for Tony to come out breakfast clubs. We're happy to have Tony this morning. A right, wow, let's start to show off with five Yo four and his album is out today. This is a new joint feature in Queen Nage and Coi Larey. It's called What's My Name? It's

the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You think like that recommend and Queen Nag Coilrey make sure you pick up that five Yo stream that album today, all right as well her albums out today. Shout the coin lay as well. But let's get into front page news where we're starting. Well, two more black coaches have joined black Brian floor as his discrimination lawsuit against the NFL. They both have significant NFL experience, and they accused the league and its teams

of discrimination and paying lip service to minority hiring rules. Now, this is all involving the little gation of former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. He's now joined by Stephen Wilkes, who's a former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, and Ray Horton, who was most recently the defensive backs coach

for the team now known as the Washington Commanders. Wilkes was in charge in Arizona in twenty eighteen, and he was discriminated against by the Arizona Cardinals, he says, by being hired merely as a bridge coach and not given any meaningful chance to succeed. Arizona replaced Wilkes them with Cliff Kingsbury, a former head coach at Texas Tech University

who had no NFL coaching experience. Kingsbury, who was white, went thirty five and forty and six college seasons and despite the services of future NFL star Patrick Mahomes, that's what his record was. The Cardinals had become a playoff contender under Kingsbury and Kyler Murray. Now, according to Horton, he was the defensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans when he alleges he was put through a sham interview for the head job in Nashville to satisfy the Rooney Rule,

which is a requirement to interview minority candidates. He said he was at home in Phoenix when he was called on January fifteen, twenty sixteen, and told to board a last second late night flight to Tennessee to meet with Amy Adams Strunk, who was the controlling owner of the Titans,

to interview for the head coaching spot. He said, the ownership there and her family came in and told them he was going to be the head coach before they went through the Rooney rule, and so he said, I sat there knowing im as a head coach in twenty sixteen, as they went through this fake hiring process, knowing a lot of the coaches they were interviewing, knowing how much they prepared to go through those interviews, knowing that everything they could do and had no chance of getting that job.

You know they're saying now that that was just a fake interview. Yeah. I mean it's tough with that, with the Rooney rule, right, because if a team doesn't want to hire you, but then they have to, it's kind of isn't like they're pandering to you just to just to make sure to interview you, interview just to make sure it's okay for the league. Wonder and I wonder

how you prove that it's a fake interview. Yeah, I'd sometimes they already know who they're hiring, So imagine they already know, and then they call you in for an interview last minute because they have to, and then remember that any wasn't there a text message that went out to Brian Flores congratulating him for the job. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I wonder how many jobs feel like that. I wonder how many jobs do interviews with people but they already know in their mind, who really really want It's like a waste of time, right, like why haven't you come up here and give him a spiel? But then I'm sure maybe a couple of times they thought they had somebody and somebody and pressed them to the point where they were like, you know, let's get him a chance.

I doubt it, but you know, I mean, because if you've got some money on your mind, now you just interview with me because you have to. You're gonna take the interview series? Are you really gonna kare? You know?

It's so hard because you know it, right, like you can you can look at the NFL and see that there's you know, discrimination, you know that, but it's so hard to prove correct Yeah, you know, yeah, I mean, I guess the only way is if other people who were being interviewed to come forward and say you know, I already knew I had the job, and they were still high interviewing other people for the position just to

satisfy this rule, or maybe checking emails. Who knows if anybody would say, that's not gonna happen noway, because then you black ball, you boxed out. That's right, all right, Well that is your front page news, all right. Get it off your chests eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent fun line to wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up.

If you're trying to get it off your chest or blast, we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, this I do want to disston to doctor New Jersey. Good morning God, Breakfast Club. This is just getting out again. What's your opinion? We have ten year old girls and boys now watching poorn, googling the website and watching it. Now. Don't you have been watching it? But now they're introducing me a little dunger cousins to watch it. So what age would we be allowing these kids? I mean, I

don't agree. I don't think a ten year old boy or girl. But I was sold boys started this age, you know, So I don't know. But I just don't a great So I just like to know what we you know what the rest of these these country or you guys came about the age group that should be watching porn. Well, I got parental control on the iPads and their phone, so they can't go to a lot of those sites. Or my kids don't have phones. My

young kids don't have so phones. They got iPads, but I have parental controls and then I limit the amount of time they can use. So I mean, you gotta monitor your kids. But it's hard because I remember the first time I've seen porn when I was young. It was at my friend's house. Her dad had some takes and so that's how I've seen it. So I just feel like, you know, you gotta have conversations with your

kids when they're old enough. But Cassandra, your question is flawed from the start because you said when do you allow your kids? I don't think you ever allow your kids. It's time, it's time. Secondly, I want to talk about the mayor of Clark, how he made these racist remark but how how you and then you apologize a lot of times when they make the remarks and they apologize,

obviously you meant to stay. You are six time term mayor and Clark is a very racist town, one of the racist towns in New Jersey, because New Jersey is most one of the most racist states. So he apologized, but you meant that because that town is so racist even down to they motive, uh, their violations for coming through. The motor vehicle violations is the fees was just astronomical,

It's crazy. And then the diversity. When we talk about diversities, you can also talk about the NFL and the diversity. A lot of these in these companies kill me when they talk about diversity, but diversity is never in the main area. Like I talked about the waterfront back New Jerseys how phoebe story. He talks about diversity, but it's no diversity on the commission, on the board, on the

board in the wait. When they talk about diversity, they don't don't they have like another book like a Latino or Chinese, but no black. They don't have no black on these most important boys. So how is that diversity? Right? Thank you? He's absolutely right, Hello, who's this? You know? This is DJ rob you og? I want a girl with extensions in their hair, bamboo air rings at least two pair offend thee bag, and a bad attitude. That's all I need to get me in a good move.

You're married. I got you. I got you. But you're married. That sounds good. You're doing better. You're catching it manly, Charlottagne. You got something before? I let it go? What's up now? I'm gonna let you handle it. You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna let you get it. Okay, check this out. I told them I heard them talking a lot, but then saying nothing. Body language speaking of different tones and stop fronting and who your boat stepping up to bring

back brand? What you're talking in the store might nothing like them? Baby, I just move different, standing holding square. I'm militant. Who sick with it? I just do what I do. Who happened? Disattached e bowler with swine fluid? Miss man? You know what I mean? You ain't got nothing sh yo, So bust a fresh move and take it from me. Listen to the fifth sound of the CTG that's talking about Yeah, you got something? What happened. You got something. Now you welcome back, and you welcome back.

If you need to vent, hit us up now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Did your time to get it off your chests? Whether you're man or blest, so please better at the same in we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this Hies either? Oh my god? Him so sorry, Oh so sorry,

I'm freaking out a little bit. Um sorry. You guys are talking about the whole racism and NFL and y'all got me thinking about systemic racism in Hollywood. I am a performing art student into the ann and man, when I tell you, when you go to look at actors access, it is nothing but AA's for white females or white elderly females, and it's rarely anything for Black females. And it is so hard at getting this industry. And I

as like, um, basically actors access. It's what they categorize it as, so you'll have it for like white females of a certain age or Black females of a certain age or males either or And compared to the amount that you see for Black women, it is terrible, absolutely horrible enough to mention the competition out there for Black women because of how many will will we actually get right? It's such a limited pool of opportunities available, very much

so compared to our counterparts. Absolutely what's your Instagram page so people can see you at Asia Jones actress? Okay, that way, maybe somebody's listening is some opportunities of level for you. Oh well, thank you. I appreciate it. My sophomore year guy, so I'm working all right. Well, thank you for calling, and they're absolutely right, good luck, Thank you I appreciate it.

Okay, all right, get it off your chest eight drew five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent, hit us up now. Now we got rooms on the way. You yes, imagine missing out on a Drake collaboration because your boyfriend was jealous. But tell you who has that story? All right, we'll get into that next. Don't move. It's

the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. It's about the rumor report the breakfast Club. Well, now I see why they said. Coyleer does not want to talk about her dad and interviews. She wrote a series of tweets calling out her father, who claims and she claims that he's been threatening her and her mom because she called him broke. She said, I hate to bring this ish

to social media, but my father need help. Sorry if I offended you on the breakfast club, but don't treat me or my mom because you hate to admit that we went broke after the source, she said, build an effing bridge and get over it. That's why I don't even like mentioning his name. That's why I never mentioned his name coming into this industry, because he can't get over his past and don't even realize how much he's damaging when he does this stuff. He's texting my mom,

threatening her, talking about some watch grow up. You was just trying to get her to do growing up hip hop. We don't want that life. She's trying to be here for me and support me, while you're trying to find every way to beef with me and suck the life out of me. I'm tired. The devil is working. This is a perfect example. When everything is going so good, here he comes being weird, trying to f up somebody's life. I'm your only effing daughter. You worried about being called

broke on the day of my day abut album. You ain't even text me congratulations. You so bitter and evil. I'm a pray for you. And here is the part of the interview that. I guess he didn't like. My dad is a great is a great you know man, and I love him, you know, regardless of our differences, He's still my father. I got to respect him, right. And Dad's no Dad's guys get a little too crazy and over excited. Yeah, so you know, me and my dad are still building our relationship. I don't want to argue,

I don't want to nothing. And I was just so excited. I'm like, yo, Dad, like, don't worry. You feel me Like my father came in this game. And as I'm learning, as I'm getting older, I'm learning a lot more about what he brought because I really don't know too much, but I'm learning more and I feel him and I understand him, and I just want to be able to be like yo, like I got you like. And I guess at some point she said that she said they were broke. Yeah, I thought of the part what she said.

People think she grew up with a silver spoon, but correct around nine years old. I guess when they lost the sauce and she said they were broke for a little bit, broke, don't and I don't know. I don't think it's wrong with that I mean people go through ups and downs. I mean, I've been broke before. I'm sure Sean Lemagne was broke. I don't know about yourselfie, but I've been in situations where I was broke. But

the thing is, which which what I don't like? And I can't tell her father how to feel or daughter how to feel. Is She spoke nothing but positive about him the whole interview. She was like, I respect him, I love him. You know we don't have the best relationship, but we're working on it. And I know sometimes ben Zino, I know we haven't had the best relationship up here, but sometimes you gotta get out your way and really

support your daughter. Like there's that's small things like you don't want to look up ten years down the line and you're like, damn, I don't have that relationship. Off for bull crap, off for something stupid, Off for something very small. I thought she was very positive and I don't think she was trying to say anything to be offensive. Now, he posted on social media to whom this made concern, the legends don't play the back, they set the standards.

Thank you, my brothers, see the God in envy for sticking up for me and not letting a false narrative of who I am and what I've accomplished happened. I put in too much work in the culture. The problem with this so your generation is they have no respect or regard for who came before them and how they laid the blueprint for them to be successful. I always revered those who came before me, and I am grateful

to the legends of hip hop. I don't think that had anything to do with you know what she said, And he said, I'm tired of this old talk. Hip hop is over forty years old, and the one who appeal to older and younger will be the most successful. Anyone who thinks that because you're in your forties and fifties, you should just go sit in a rocking chair and still don't live out and pursue their dreams and aspirations

are idiots. All you young people who are in their twenties and successful at rapping, chances are you still will be rapping in your fifties. Period. When the younger generation starts listening more and respect the older before them is when life will be better and our entire culture will be better. Yeah, I don't know Venzino personally. But the reality is you can never take away what somebody has done. Like the Source meant something, the culture was, it was

an institution. We still use the five migrating system and casual conversation. Now he's people will say he's gonna know he's a legend for that Source magazine. What they created him and Dave May is created. You can't take that back. And it's set the tune for a lot of things in hip hop. And I don't think Coila Ray was saying that you shouldn't do music if you're older. I think she was saying that the older people need to give the younger people a chance too. I don't think

she was saying not to listen. You know. It's interesting though, I think Nino's concerned about his legacy, which I can understand, but also I remember that Coilarey is part of his

legacy as well. Absolutely all right, And I don't think this is necessarily I think you have to separate being a dad from being a legend, right because she's saying she wants to do things, and she has been doing a lot of things on her own, and so step back as a father and let her do her thing, But that doesn't mean you have to step back from what it is that you brought to the game. They have a different sort of relationship, and I get with what a lot of younger artists were saying. I remember

coming up at as a DJ. I used to hate the older DJs and the older artis because I felt like they never supported or open the doors. That's why when it comes to whatever I do, I like to have the conversations, whether it's with little Dirk or Offset, or a CARDI or a little baby, if I can help them get into real estate or get to things which I couldn't do, I try to help. I don't I don't want to charge nobody. I just want them

to win. I want everybody to win, like and I also want to I do want to young people to know that you're gonna be old and much lost. Be young. Yeah, how I say young, it's so fleeting have fun in that pocket, but it's really just the pocket, Like it's really a short period of time that you're gonna be young, and you know when you realize that when you get old. Yeah yeah, But I think she was just saying, give us a little bit of support and shine. That's all.

She wasn't saying, no one should get old, you shouldn't do music because you're older. She was just saying, And a lot of younger artists who say this, they don't like the fact that people feel like, oh, you gotta do this, you gotta do that. Oh we don't listen

to that type of music. That's not for me. And somebody sells support, but nobody said that, like and I know a lot of times people get sensitive, like even with Charlemagne, says Charlemagne says, I like a couple of records and a couple of dot but that's all the artists. That's younger artists. That's it doesn't matter. I listened to some whole records and there's somebody like I listened to also, you know what I mean, also envy by the way,

you know who else says that young people? Yes, it's young people who say that that may not be for me, or I don't like that, or they might just say that's straight up. It's like, yes, it's all subjective. Music is just subjective. All right, Well that is your rumor reports. Okay, thank you, miss ye. Now from Page News. Next, what we're talking about yes, and let's talk about something historic that has happened. It's official. We have our first black

woman to sit on the Supreme Court. All right, we'll get into that next. We're gonna play another five Rio joint. Shout the Fabio five Yo's album is in stores or I sit in stores, and that's where you know, you can know you could stream it. It's in stores. Pick it up and this is five yoor no more. There's stores's best buy. It might still it might be in some do some stores guitar, but everybody down streams it now, downloads it title and Spotify and all that other stuff.

All right, but here'stu to fire five yo quevo. It's the breakfast club God Morning, the breakfast Club Mornings. I'll never be the same. I teamed up with Zyrtech for this allergy relief message. Springtime brings vibrancy to the air and pollen, so I take Zyrtech when allergy symptoms start, save the tissues and live vibrantly with zyrt Tech starts working at hour one and stay strong day after day. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We

are the breakfast club. All right, let's get to some front page news. But we're starting easy. Well, the tenant has confirmed that Katangi Brown Jackson will be the first black woman to sit on the Supreme Court. I was watching the two I kept hearing all these days. Well, I was watching day Nay when they were calling out the names. But here is Kamala Harris actually announcing the news on this vote. The a's are fifty three, the names are forty seven, and this nomination is confirmed in

the face, All right. South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott was trending after this. He was among the forty seven who voted against confirming Katanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. If you look on Twitter to see why he's trend in, you can see what people are saying. There are three black men in the US Senate. One of them, Tim Scott, voted no on confirming just Katanji Brown Jackson to the

Supreme Court. There is always one of us. Another person said, only eleven black people have served in the US Senate. Tim Scott is the only one who can say he opposed the nomination of the first black women to the Supreme Court. That's embarrassing. Well, that's because Tim Scott wanted a judge Michelle Childs who was a black woman from South Carolina. Like, that's where he wanted to be the Supreme Court pick. All right. Now here is Senator Chuch

Schumer on Katanji's nomination. It is just an amazing day. If I had to think of an adjective to describe all all of us, it would be elated. This has been a long, hard road as we try to get to greater equality, less bigotry in America. Now. Joe Biden had said during his twenty twenty presidential campaign that he was committed to nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court if elected. He posted Judge Jackson's confirmation was a historic moment for our nation. We've taken another step toward

making our highest court reflected diversity of America. She will be an incredible justice and I was honored to share this moment with her and the two hundred and thirty three year history of the Supreme Court. By the way, we have never had a black woman hold the title of justice. Kautanzi Brown Jackson will be the first, and hopefully, as it should be, there will be many more to come, so let's make sure that that happens. But yes, it is historic. She'll be sworn in after Justice Stephen Bryer

retires sometime this summer. Until then, she'll remain in her current position on the US Court of Appeals. Yes, it's a very, very historic pick. You know, Joe Biden definitely fulfilled a campaign promise that he made to you og, Jim Clyde Burne in many others. And I love how happy this pick makes so many black women. But we still have to be realistic about the fact that the Supreme Court is still a six three conservative majority. And

I've been saying it and I'll keep saying it. I personally think Democrats should expand the courts and add four judge Jacksons. And I don't want us to miss the opportunity to use this moment to educate people on exactly what the Supreme Court is and how there are major issues on the table that they are talking about overturning, like voting rights and roll versus wage. So, you know, celebrate for two seconds and then let people know the reality of what we are facing with that damn six

three conservative majority in the Supreme Court. All right in the metaverse. Where is it going next? Well, according to the New York Post, they're getting ready to create their own payment system and currency. They said, Meta is getting ready to introduce introduce payment tokens, which they're calling zuckbucks. So it won't be cryptocurrency, but an inn app currency that's managed and controlled by Meta like Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah,

zack bucks, that's what they're callingbucks, the rodblocks coins, social tokens. Yeah, you can only use it in there, zuckbucks. If I'm using for prostitution, they're called suck bucks, while you can say the f bucks. No. If I'm just saying, because that's what's gonna happen, right, you know it's going with the currency evolves, people are gonna start using these things

for nefarious means like prostitution in the metaverse. I'm sure if you want to like buy a car, or paint your house or change your clothes, you have to use the zuck bucks or you know, if you want to put in your mind, if you think there ain't gonna be no suck bucks or no f bucks in the metaverse, Okay, they're gonna be in there. Freaking you ever see those videos or those people over in Asia with the goggles on and they'd be like humping the air, wilding. I've

never seen it. Yeah, it's gonna go down. What do you be watching? Man? All right? Well that America is not the first country with virtual reality. I didn't say it, but I don't. I don't google people hump in the air that send you the video or this grandma and the grandma had the goggles on and the grandkid walked in on them, or she was wild If you send me in that video, Human Resources, I'm time you have right now. Hey, she was wilding with him vall glasses us.

She was doing something to a ghost wanted to two. All right, Well, when we come back, the Secretary of Transportation Pete booda judge will be joining us and we'll talk to him when we come back, so don't move. It's a breakfast club, Comoy, the breakfast club, Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne and the guy. We are to breakfast club. We got a special guests in the building. Always a pleasure when he comes in. Secretary Pete Boota judge's head. How are you, sir, I'm good, Thanks for having me over.

How you feeling feeling great, okay, and you have a very intense job right now, which we'll get into. But let's discuss the last time you were here where we left off. Yeah, I mean then we were still putting this transportation bill together, thinking about what we could actually do with it. Now we've put more than fifty billion dollars in road funding out for road improvements in every

part of the country, bridge funding, transit funding. We just did that this week, So we're actually doing the things we came here to do. There's a ton of work still to come, but it feels good after basically spending most of the last year just trying to get the bill through, now we're actually doing the work. You know.

Before we get into the work, I want to talk to you because I saw that you just had your twins go to daycare for the first time and your parents you're not difficult, that is when you gotta dropped him all. So how difficult was that for you? Yeah, it was a little. We were doing fine with it until the last minute. So we got a boy and a girl, twins. They're about seven to eight months now, and just as we started to hand her over our girl over at the daycare, that little lower lip came out.

We call it the Yeah, we call it the chaos lip because you know, once you see that little pouty lip, then she's usually pretty upset. But no, they actually did great. We've got this app now they tell us when I just got an alert that there was a diaper change, so you know, I feel like I'm in the know. Um and uh and they're doing great. Did they have to have security of cause right, uh, yeah, I won't get in that too much, but they're they're safe and secure.

How his fatherhood changed you changes everything. I mean it's first of all, it's hard. I mean it's it's beautiful, wonderful work. But I've never had a job that demanding. I mean, you know, especially in the early weeks where you know, you start your day at three am, when when Chaston would tap out, we went to kind of a night's a shift system because um, just the way they were growing and eating, you kind of had to

be with them almost all the time. And he would tap out somewhere between two and three in the morning. Then I'd start my day and I knew that, you know, being a new dad means you have to get up in the middle of the night. But I thought that, man, you'd get up and then you get to go back to bed afterwards. And a lot of times that that didn't happen, didn't work that way. Uh, and you know

it's humbling. I mean, you're you know, you're getting puked on routinely, and uh, you know, it's it's a little different from most of what goes on in your day as a cabinet member. But we know it's great, and you know, all the cliches come true, right. You think about the future more, Um, you think about what advantaged more. Yeah, absolutely, I mean, uh, just getting them into daycare was was

you know, um, one big step for us. But yeah, you just the whole world looks looks a little bit different. I think about what it'll be like when they're uh, you know, old enough to get a job or go to college, and that that's not that far off. And the decisions we're making right now, especially on things like climate but the economy, all of it is going to shape how they're going to do. So yeah, I guess I sound like every other parent, but now I feel

it in a different way. The difference that you're in a position to actually shape the future though, So how did that impact you are? Yeah, well, I think about it. You know, when they're when they're going about their lives, they're going to be you know, riding or driving on the roads and bridges that that I'm working on building

right now. Right They're going to be taking the subways that that that we're funding right now and so, and they're going to breathe be breathing air that we either make cleaner or fail to make cleaner based on the work we're doing right now. So yeah, I mean, it's it makes everything a lot more personal, especially in an

in transportation infrastructure, because it's long term, right. I Mean, there's there's stuff we're doing to make sure that we get through the season or get through the year, but most of what you do in transportation infrastructure is is very much about the long, long term. You're planning through the twenty twenties to make sure the twenty thirties and the twenty forties go well. And your relationship to what's going on in the twenty forties and beyond is now

you know, it's through your children. You're you're raising your children, but you're also raising your replacements. How it works and trying to save the world because not only will be thinking about climate change, but we're thinking about economics now to but the war that's going on with Russia and Ukraine, and then having to worry about gas prices and people not being able to afford that, but then on top

of it climate change. Yeah, and so what are some things that our front and center for you when it comes to that. I Mean, the biggest thing I see happening with climate change is we're out of the period where it was something that people were arguing over whether it might happen or what's going to happen in the

future someday. It is now right, even just looking at it from a transportation person effective last year, they had to shut down transit in the Northwest in Oregon right because there was a heat wave that wasn't even considered meteorologically possible until it happened. There were, i mean, the cables. They had to shut it down because they were the cables might melt in the heat. There was a stretch of highway that I saw in Colorado where first wildfires

came through. That happens more and more often with climate change. Then you had extreme rainfall, very extreme rainfall, like the kind of thing that should only happen every five hundred two a thousand years, except it keeps happening. Those two things combined meant that all of this, all of the vegetation had burned off, and so all of the mud on the hillside wasn't held together by the roots of the vegetation, so it slid onto the highway and it

took two weeks to clear up. The highway was turned into a supply chain problem. So I guess my point is these effects of climate change are right now. But the other thing that exists right now is some of the solutions. This big report from the the UN panel came out last week or I think this week, saying we're running out of time. It's it's worse than we thought. But also the solutions include technologies that exist right now.

That's why I talk about electric vehicles all the time, not that that's the cure all, but it's a really important piece of it. And by the way, good old fashioned transit is a piece of it. If people have a choice, an alternative to having to drive to get where they're they're going, depending where they live, that helps. So, you know, climate change is something where transportation is being impacted, transportation gets disrupted because of climate change, and where transportation

can be part of the answer. Have you seen a movie Don't Look Up? Yeah? Yeah. Do you feel like that? Like they say it's satire, but it's really not to me? Like you feel like that when it comes to discussing things like climate change. Yeah, sometimes, And when you get into these conversations on the hill or with folks who just don't want to I don't know, they just don't want to go there there. Look, it makes sense to discuss all of the problems that we're still trying to solve.

For example, the electric vehicles, right, they're not affordable enough. It takes a lot of work to get the raw materials and the minerals that go into them. We got to build up the charging infrastructure and be ready for that. Those are real issues. But it's one thing to say these are some real issues we got to work on,

which is what we're saying. It's another to raise those issues as an excuse to just keep doing the exact same thing, the exact same way for as long as we can get away with it, right, And that's what that movie reminds me of this idea of just well, whatever it is, it's too hard and it's too complicated, We're just not going to deal with it. We're just going to keep doing the same thing. People to get

electric cars. So a couple of things. One, as we've proposed tax credits, it would actually literally just bring down the sticker price. So we think about like these electric pickup trucks, for example, a lot of Super Bowl Super Bowl ads about these. They start about forty thousand dollars, more affordable than people think, but obviously not affordable for

a lot of Americans. If we got the kinds of tax credits through that we're talking about, basically, it would take ten to twelve thousand dollars off of that sticker price and move it into the high twenties. When you get to that level, even if your car payment is higher than a regular gas car would have been, you will come out ahead every month because you'll have less of a gas bill. You still have to pay to fill up with electricity, but you pay less than you

would have with gas. And so that is something that we could do right now if Congress acted to pass those tax credits to bring the prices down. The other thing is just the more they get It's like anything, the more they get produced, the less expensive. Yeah, the more efficient they are to produce, and you see the prices come down. So you know, I just not with a bunch of auto CEOs yesterday. They're all moving in

this direction already. It's going to happen. The question is will it happen fast enough, will it happen in America, you know, made in America by American workers most of all, And will it happen in a way that's affordable they can reach everybody. Another issue in terms of access is being able to charge them right. So if you're in a rural or suburban area, you're in a single family home, no problem. I mean, you can just plug it in your garage, even in a regular or wallplug. It's not

the most efficient, but it'll work. But if you're in a multifamily building, if you're in New York City, if you're if you're in most urban areas, we need to plan to make sure that chargers are available. So we're putting out five billion dollars for the states to work with. They're going to come in, they need to bring their plans to us over the summer and then we'll approve them and that'll set up kind of a highway network

of chargers. And then we have another two and a half billion dollars for community charging to try to buy down the cost of setting up chargers at the workplace, at the apartment building where you know they're starting to go in now, because you know, you can often have a profitable business running electric chargers, but it's not quite penciling out yet. We can do something about that, and that's one of the things in law, and that's one of the things we're funding. All right, we have all

with Pete Booda, Judge, Secretary of Transportation. When we come back is the breakfast Club, Good morning. I think everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club, was still kicking it with Secretary of Transportation Pete Boodha Judge Charlomagne. I want to go back to what you were saying about the movie. Don't look up. You know, it's hard to get people to mo right, even with the threat of imminent danger. It's hard to

get people to react. It is. I mean, that's that's the crazy thing about it. Right, I think because unlike the plot of Don't Look Up, where it's a you know, something that's going to happen to us in on a specific date, this is one of those slow rolling things, but it's not so slow. And again it's it's not something we're arguing about whether it's going to happen, it's it's it's already happening. So why aren't people more focused

on it? Partly, I think because we always are more aware of holding on to what we've got than preparing for something that we can't quite see and feel. Partly because people think it's it's really going to set them back. So one great thing about the electric vehicles is when people drive them, they realize they're as good or better than the gas vehicles. It takes away that that fear

the unknown, but it still seems like something unknown. And of course part of it also is that, you know, some people feel that climate change will happen to somebody, but they're going to be just fine. It's selfish too, because you're not also thinking about the next generation. You might think, well, we're alive, it'll be fine, right, Who cares what happens? Right? And that's another one of those things where I'm holding by, you know, a little twins

in my arms. You know this is completely going to shape their lives. But also again, this is not some far off distant thing, right, I mean, we're talking about what's going to happen within this decade, including the impact, and as as so often happens with these issues, a lot of the most vulnerable people, the people who are now the most economically vulnerable, are those who stand to lose the most, and they're not necessarily the ones making

the decisions. Well how come? You know, I think about that and I hit it, and I receive it and understand it. But the mid terms of this year, you know, the next couple of years to be the presidential election year, it feels like the depth of democracy is right there, imminent danger, right, But it doesn't feel like people that are in positions of power, mainly the Democrats, are responding

to it in that way. Well, I think our agenda is about shoring up our democracy really, yeah, of course, but also we're operating environment where nobody actually has complete control of the levers of government. Right. You've got Congress, you've got the courts, you've got all these state legislatures. And if there's one big lesson we've seen I think in the last few years is just how much of the power when it comes to voting in elections is in state and even county hands. And I'm not saying

that by way of an excuse. I mean, the administration should be and is very forward leaning on this, but it's not as if we're just able to have our way on everything, right, and that's why the midterms matter. I also believe that one of the best things we can do, and maybe this is just based on where I sit as the Transportation Secretary, but one of the best things we can do to walk America a little bit back from this cliff is to just deliver on

the basics. Yes, so that's what transportation is all about. Right. There really is a question about whether democracies are better at delivering on the basics or whether authoritarian countries are better at them. Right. I mean, the argument that China is basically making is, hey, we have a command and control system, and we're going to get stuff done faster, cheaper, and better than in the messy, democratic American way of

doing things. And that's why this moment is a test even on things as unsexy as you know, how do you pave the roads and get the subway to run on time? Right? That's I think very high stakes for our democracy because if we can show that we can do it in our messy democratic system, it allows us to consolidate our sense of democracy is the way to go. If we can't, there's an alternative out there that is not the one we want to be dominating the world

right now. And I mean, but Democrats could have the Powell if you could get everybody on the same page. Last time you hear, I asked you who's the real president? You know, Joe Mansion by Joe Biden. Clearly President Biden is the president, but Joe Mansion has been blocking Biden's agenda since the last time we've had a conversation. Are you frustrated with him yet? Look, I'm frustrated anytime we don't get our way automatically in Congress. But I also

get to it doesn't work that way. And you're talking about one senator, a senator by the way, who was Democratic senator from a state that Donald Trump won by like forty points, and we should be talking about a hundred senators there's ninety nine other senators too, right, And there has been unified, uniform Republican opposition to so many of these things we're trying to do. On the voting

on things like extending the child tax credit. And it's not even about what's right about black I mean, it feels like a brick wall, except I will say, on our transportation bill. Right, So we got eighteen senators to cross party lines. I mean it's not often that you see, you know, everybody from from you know, Joe Mansion to Bernie Sanders to Mitch McConnell kind of agreeing to do something. It was a little more partisan in the House, but even there, a lot of a lot of Republican House

members came over. And I think it shows that again, if you if you can demonstrate that there's a chance to take care of the basics, you can actually build some bridges there literally but also politically. Um. But yes, look, if we're going to talk about frustration with the Congress, let's talk about how everyone's voting. The insolent thing. Right, There was a bill to lower the cost of insolent for Americans and so many, so many legislators voted against it.

And that wasn't It wasn't Democrats that we had the big problems with them. I agree with all of that, you know, but I think you know, as a voter, you know, when I see hundreds of members of Congress who are Democrats silent, when you see the mansions and cinemas blocking progress, it makes me wonder is everybody complicit? So I would say everybody's standing up for what they think we ought to do in the best way they

know how. And you know, if somebody's holding out on you, going up to them and poking them in the eye is probably not going to help you get the result that you want. There are times that and it's not just you know, any one senator. There are many times that have been very frustrated that I was pretty sure I had the right way to go and somebody was

standing in the way. But the way to maneuver through that is to try to build not just try to convince people right, but but but also try to build the public support that makes it clear that this is where we got to go. Well, how do you do that without calling out the pupil out of blocking progress. Well, look, we can say that's one thing that does very well. You know, Trump would have had a million nicknames with mansion in cinema. Yeah. Yeah, But I mean that didn't

necessarily get him his way either, right. It got attention, sure, I mean it got us all talking about him, But did it really help move an agenda? I would say, I mean, you look at what they set out to do, what they said they were going to They really did have control of all the all the you know, levers of power, and they couldn't get rid of Obamacare. For example.

We're just with the President Obama and President Biden this week celebrating the ACA, and the reason they couldn't get rid of it, I think is that it had made such a concrete difference, positive difference in American lives that

America basically wouldn't let them. And uh, you know, we can vent all we want about this or that member of Congress is not going along with the thing I want to do, but in the end, they're passing the laws, and so we got either work with them or we've got to use the tools that we have, including executive authority. And the President is taking a lot of steps the authority he has right to try to solve the problem while We're getting the other pieces done, but none of

this matters if we can't deliver. That's why where I'm getting up in the morning. The main thing I'm thinking about is how do we make sure we take all this money, you know, it's one point two trillion dollars, about half of that is transportation, and actually deliver one point two trillion dollars worth of value so people believe in what we're trying to do through this administration, have

some level of trust and government to address problems. If we can't deliver that, then it'll just keep keep spiraling down. All right, We have more with Pete Boodha, Judge, Secretary of Transportation. When we come back. Is the breakfast club,

Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are to breakfast club was still kicking it with Secretary of Transportation, Pete Boodha, Judge Charlomagne, you do realize, Pete, a lot of black people feel like Democrats have kept no promises since they've been in since they've been in office. Really, yes, rebet Alas said that a million times. I'm sure I'm in pressing you about. Look,

I get it because the work is not done. But the reason I say really is we just passed one of the biggest pieces of infrastructure legislation in American history. It was a promise and it wasn't just a promise that the Biden Harris administration made or the dust Democrats made in twenty twenty. This is a promise that every president and every Congress is made in some way, shape or form for as long as I've been an adult, and we actually did it. But those are big, broad

things and that's great. But I'm talking about things like things that you campaign going, like the George Floyd policing and effect that our voting rights man like like nineteen states have implemented boldest depression bills. You know that's going to directly impact us the most. But the only strategy Democrats are going to have is we got to go out there and vote in mass numbers to fight it. That's that's not a strategy. It's not a strategy. Right.

Mobilization is a strategy, and these tactics that you're talking about make mobilization harder. And you're absolutely right that work is not done. That work has to get done, and it's not acceptable where we are right now. I think that's true. And you know what really scary is seeing a lot of women's reproductive rights regressing and LGBTQ community their rights being taken away stid state right, voting rights

of being taken away state by state. Those things are scary even in the education system, you know, just not being able to discuss certain things state by state. That's a scary thing to me. And it's like we see it expanding. No, that's right. And so again part of the answer is organizing at the state level, because in this country, a lot of the power and a lot of the decisions are actually at the state level. What's happening in our schools, what even the way elections are run, right,

that plays out at that level. But look, I don't think I don't think anyone on our side is satisfied with how far we've come on whether it's a George Floyd Policing Act, whether it's it's it's voting rights. What I'll say is we're pushing for as much as we can get in terms of results in Congress and taking

whatever executive actions are available to the president. So you look at the policing side, right for example, actions to limit these chokeholds, to limit these these kinds of no knock warrants, to make sure that at least on the federal side, you have body cameras when when search warrants are being executed. I know, it's not the whole job gets not the federal I mean, it's great that you did it, but it's not the federal police that um it's Look, it's not that the federal side alone is

where all the work has to be done. But what you'll see happening is when we have direct authority. And I say we, I mean, obviously I'm not directly involved, mostly on the law enforcement piece, but when the administration has direct authority, then it's going to be used according to the constitutional powers of the president. When it's indirect, when you got to go to Congress to get a law, then you got to go to Congress to get a law.

And we're going to keep pushing. And yes, that's that's up to up to us as administration, but it's up to everybody who cares about this in the country to keep pushing. I know it's supposed to be a slim down version of the build back better that Congress might act on before Memorial So we don't know which pieces are going to make it, but we've we're going to keep pushing for all of them that we think are good.

And yeah, I think some form of this is going to move because these are policies we really need, childcare, prescription drugs, doing something about climate. And if we can't get everything we wanted, okay, well we'll keep pushing for the things we didn't get. But we've got to get as much as we can, and we've got to deliver because we do. We do have some promises to keep. I'm proud of the promises we've kept on the transportation side. I get that we've got more promises to keep. That's

why we're gonna keep pushing. Even with the bill, even with the slim down version. The headlines already Christen Cinema is opposed to it, she's not with it, same same old problem. Look, I don't think it's even been there's not an it yet right in terms of a final deal or a package that's been agreed on. But you know, the way the Senate works is on most things, you definitely need fifty and you usually need sixty votes. And on this one, it'll be fifty because of the reconciliation rules.

We've got to we've got to push. I mean, look, I would like to believe that you could get some Republicans on board with the idea that I don't know that childcare ought to be cheaper, or that that leave ought to be available, or that we got to make those electric vehicles cheaper for every American, especially because it's often in rural states that tend to be a little more Republican, that people drive longer distances, they burn more gas, they spend more money, and they're going to save more

money if they had nev if we made it cheaper. It seems like a smart business to start would be making those electric charging stations. Yeah. Absolutely, and we're seeing a lot of companies get into that. Matter of fact, one just opened facility in Tennessee. It's really cool to see American jobs being created in Tennessee making the chargers

that you are going to charge the car. What I'm saying is, you know, not only do we need to obviously secure the fifty votes in our party, we need to talk about why there there's really going to be one hundred percent opposition on the Republican side, Well, we don't expect it. Personally, I vote for Democrats. I don't expect anything of reprobable. They let us know exactly who they are and they're not trying to pretend to be offerings. But this helps Republicans too, absolutely, I mean at least

Republican constituents. Yeah, there needs to be some pressure on I think, I mean, I think these are things that are going to be in different states, no matter. You don't have to be a Republican to believe it's a good idea to make childcare more afford one right, or prescription drugs like this is one of the top issues

on Americans minds. Democrats and Republicans, seniors who tend to be to skew a little more Republican right want at least want to let Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices would make a cheaper for all of us. M Those are things that I think we at least have to raise the question of why you couldn't cross party lines to support that. It's obviously physically possible to support party lines, because a lot of them did a good thing and

cross party lines to make this transportation bill possible. So it can be done. I'm not naive about how easy it will be to get it done. But I hope our conversation is not just about one or two Democrats that we haven't brought on board yet. It's only could be a black and progress that's all. Well, we need yeah, we need them to be on board in order for anything to move. Do you have a feuge aspirations? I don't know. I know this gonna sound like the political answer,

but it's true. I don't know if I'll ever run for office again. Really, because you don't run for office because you just want to have it. You're run for office because you think you meet a need in a particular moment. That's how I've made the decision every time I've decided to run for office, and every time I've decided not to. What I know is the whole point of running for office is that if if you succeed,

you get a chance to government. And the President has asked me to take on this job with a chance to participate in government in a really big way, and if I can do a good job at this that will be that could be the work of a lifetime. And if we don't get this right, nothing else matters. So I've got more than enough work on my plate to take all of my energy and all of my imagination, and then I'm really glad to be here. Right. How much does being a dad affect those decisions too? Well?

You definitely look at everything differently, right. I mean I used to not mind being on the road all the time. I used to not mind uh you know, stay at the office till way past too late. And now you think about those things, right, So I got to try to get back for for I'm in charge of bathtime most days, so I gotta get back by and the kids don't care that that. You know, we got an extra meeting at it to the calendar to deal with the committee report or something. Right there, it's bathtime. Um,

so you know I'll go. I can go back and and go back to work afterwards. You want you Yeah, partly because it's important to me. Partly because we just literally need to do it right. I means Chaston and me and um and we owe it to each other to Yeah, kids got a bad kids got to eat, diaper's got to get changed, so we just start him in daycare. So that's their that's their day daycare and and uh and like everybody, I mean we've turned to two friends. Um, you know that's saying. It takes a village.

That's definitely been our experience and you want to be there. Jesus Christ, get your money up man, getting nanny Jesus gases secretary people to judge. Thank you for coming always, man, We really do appreciate you taking the time, you know, to come to the Breathers Club when you're in New York City. Always pleasure, Thanks Rady absolutely. Breakfast Club Secretary, Pete, did you know today is National impati today? I know now because you got us a bunch of impanadas. Yeah,

shout out to a lady. G Impanadas a minority owned business. I believe it's a black owned business. Uh. The young ladies came and they dropped off some impanadas for me. They have all type of imfanadas, Charlemagne, you missed it today. They got oxtail dinner umpanadas. They got crabbing shrimp, spinach and feta jerk chicken, cheesy fried chicken, buffalo chicken, terry chicken, jerk back bean. I'm just happy that dj Envy is

finally leaning into his Dominican roots. Out of the clause, dropping the tools bombs for DJ Envy, embracing his Dominican side. It's about damn time. Been sitting on this radio for twelve years and they never did nothing Dominican except for where white jeans with a giant's jersey. Now you're bringing a simpanadas, dropping the clues bomb for DJ and I believe these ladies are black, by the way, but they got dessert. They got cinnamon apple and panadas. I mean

the dessert one. Oh man, it's so great. So shout shout to the ladies from Lady G. They actually sponsored my casture last year, so they just wanted to bring it up for Okay, Well, we appreciate it. And panades is one thing that I know how to make. Really well. You should have played meet up the Black Blog. You're giving back to both of your sides though, because you know you got impanadas, a Dominican dish. But then it's a black owned business, right, turn it up a little bit. Yeah,

talk to me. Oh, you're really leaning into your Dominican side. You got American bars, Now I don't. I don't have what I need one. You gotta know you gotta Dominican real estate siminar coming up? Where where what you're doing? Man, you should put it on an our Alpha. Well that got that got a lot of curses in it. A yeah, that got a lot of Okay, all right, Well let's get to the rumors. Let's go. She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the

Breakfast Club. Well, imagine you could have gotten yourself a Drake collaboration, but your boyfriend was too jealous. That's what happened to money Long. We all know her from that hits on this number one on the charts right now, hours and hours. She posted that one time in two thousand and eight. I missed that on a Drake feature because my boyfriend at the time found out he was pulling up to the studio and flew into a jealous raid. So I chickened out and quit responding to his text.

Can you imagine that your boyfriend is that jealous? You're an artist, Drake is gonna pull up to the studio. Drake fault. Wow, that's Drake fault. Because everybody know Drake is the number one snifer out here. That's why you know at first I was like, yeah, why would you be mad? And then but by the way, this wasn't two thousand and eight, and yeah, but I'm saying he no, no, no, no, no, no, he wasn't two thousand and eight.

He's eighteen years old. Man. We're gonna we're gonna talk some simple math this morning. Okay, all right, we'll get

to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same. Hey, it's angela Ye. Have you taken a look at the General insurance lately?

An insurance agency Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. I was born to Donkey. It's the

Donkey Day, Charlomagne Devil Breakfast Club. Yeah, it's Donkey here today for Friday, April eighth, and drop on the clues bombs for me, because I think I got the day of day right. Every day this week Friday April Today's Donkey goes to Camari Oliville, an eighteen year old Las Vegas student in the Clark County School District who is now facing charges of murder, robbery, burglary, and kidnapping and connection with a botched home invasion that left the woman dead.

When I see stories like this, all I can hear is my father in my hear telling me trouble is easy to get into and hard to get out of. Dropping a clues bomb from my pops Kelvin kicktil Sooth Carolina, Love you, sir. That piece of advice is one of the greatest pieces of advice that you can give a young person or anybody. Really, trouble is easy to get into, but hard to get out of. One thing that churn don't understand is that what you do today would directly

impact your life tomorrow. And there's certain things you should just say no to. Okay, this generation is really one of the stupidest generations in human history. In fact, I think it's probably the stupidest generation in human history. I mean, there's been so many advancements in technology, but I don't think there's been many advancements in people. Now. The reason I believe this is one of the dumbest generations ever is because this generation has so much evidence as to

why certain things will just simply not work. And crime is absolutely one of those things that will simply not work. What's that saying. Smart people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. Well, what do people who are smart who are not smart nor wise do, Well, they just be dumb and the world is happening all around them and they pay no attention to it. They pay no attention to their present. So you know they're not paying attention to their past all

their future. And what's sad about this Kamari Oliver situation. From this story, it sounds like he was actually caring about his future somewhat because he was still doing his homework. Yes, Kamari wasn't a young eighteen year old who devoted his life to crime or had an extensive criminal history. This

is actually his first defense. He was a young eighteen year old who to me sounds like he was trying to be a dual threat the Dion Sanders of criminal and school assignments, if you will, and Kamari is a prime example of why you can't do both. In fact, doing both is what literally got him caught. Okay, being involved with the crime got him cut, and doing his homework also got him caught. Uncle Charlotte, Brother Lenaud, what

the hell are you talking about? Well, let's go to Fox five for the report police So Joe police say man accused in a home invasion left his math homework in the getaway car. Okay, that's one of the details. And a new police report of an incident that left a woman dead. Eighteen year old Kamari Oliver faces several charges, including open murder. Police say last month, Oliver, along with two others, entered the victim's home near Robindale and Jones

Too Robert. A woman now identified as Natalie Monthly pulled out a gun and shot at them. Matro says at least one of those suspects shot back and hit her multiple times. The victim's boyfriend says the group I saw the group leaving and ran their car with his own into a nearby wall. That group did get away, but police found a backpack in the car with that math homework we talked about earlier. Police arrested Oliver a few days later when he showed up school. No, we gotta

play game. Shut up? Okay, can let me get through the donkey first? All right? Trouble is easy to get into and hard to get out of. All right, Sending healing energy to the family Natalie who was killed in this incident. Man and stories like this is why Trey wanted dough boy to let him out of the car. Okay. Trey knew he wasn't built for that life. Trade knew that life had no future. Trade just wanted to go to Moorhouse and have a future with Brandy who was

going to Spellman. That's why he told Dough to let him out of the car. All right. The fat Kmari that you had your backpack with your chrome book along with a notebook of schoolwork on your person. Lets me know that you two wanted to get out of the car. All right. Some young person out there is listening to me right now and they will be faced with the opportunity to make a penitentiary choice this weekend. And I want to be the first to tell you to get out of the car. Tell do to let you out,

all right. Matter of fact, that's advice for if you've gotten into the car. Let's be even more preventive here. Don't you take your ass rotting him Charing who don't want to do anything with themselves? All right? Then little folks is going to jail, and you're not going with them, all right. Kamari Oliver is the hood version of Hansel from Hanseling Gretel, but instead of leaving breadcrumbs for him to follow the return back home, he left his math

homework in the getaway car. The lead police right to his front door. In this situation, it led police to his school where they questioned Kmari about his injuries because he had a burn and laceration above his right eye. Kamari said he had been in a fight over the weekend. Then police, who also obtained camera footage. They obtained camera footage, I said, They obtained camera footage of Kamari disposing the murder weapon near the crime scene, questioned you know him

about the murder. And that's when he asked for a lawyer, and that's when they stopped ask asking questions. Now, Kamari's lawyers is saying evidence will show he did not go inside of that house, and he's an eighteen year old with no prior criminal history as an adult or juvenile. Hey, lawyers got a lawyer. But the fact of the matter is he should have gotten out of the car, all right. You can't do both. Body in the history of life

has done positive and negative, all right. The negative will always catch up to you when the negative is this extreme, all right, it will always catch up to you before the positive does. That's why crime shouldn't even be an option. Okay, Hey, young world, please please please do something that I didn't do when I was Kamari's age. Do something that Kamari

didn't do. Now learn from the mistakes of others. Okay, you want to do a math problem, I have a simple one for you that will keep you out of trouble. When something doesn't add up, subtract yourself. Maybe I could say that another way. When things aren't adding up in your life, start subtracting. That means people, places, habits that all may be causing things not to add up, and crime should never be part of that equation. It's one of the first things you should subtract. Please give Kamari

Oliver the biggest he hall. Why you Why do you want to play a game? Let's play a game. I just want to play because it's Friday. Well, but they got to do it anything because I don't know. I just want to say Friday, I don't know. I'm like, what all right? Okay? If you must, all right, let's

play a game off? Yes? What race right? Kamaro Oliver, eighteen years old young man from Las Vegas got caught is facing charges of murder, robbery, burgley, and kidnapping in connection with a botched home invasion that left the young woman dead, all because he left his math homework in

the car. Yess what race is envy. Now I'm thinking about this right, Think of a student close your eyes, class, who loves math, who loves to do math problems, that left their math homework, always has their math on them. This is gonna sound crazy nuts. I don't know. I don't know the race. What right up to that ledge and decided not to jump up? You got right up

on that what's that thing on the pool? That board, the diving board, the diving board, you decided not to jump in hut And I'm gonna say black wow wow, because we're very smart and we're very intire math and now numbers and everything. So I'm gonna say black wow because I'm good with numbers. My son's good with numbers. Well, his name is Kamari. What does that mean? I don't know.

Anybody don't know white people named Kamar No Angela Yee Kamari Oliver, eighteen years old Las Vegas student facing charges of murder, robbery, burglary, and kidnapping and connection with a box home invasion that left the young woman dead, all because he left his math homework in his car. Guess what race? Yes, I'm gonna say that he is black? Why because because his name is Camari. That's so racist? Ye why is that racist? I don't know. Is that a bad name? What is he? Charlomagne? I don't like

playing this game when it's not white people. Man, I'm just be honest with y'all. I see people on YouTube say that, and I never thought about it, like it's always the white person would guests with racist. I don't like playing this game when it's not a white person. But both of y'all are correct, black, So you were trying to take black people love math. I love math, so I knew it was black because I you know,

no math. All right, And I want to say I want to say, I want to say he's not black, he's nigga, But I don't want to say that because he's only eighteen years old and this is his first defense. Correct. He could have just been in the car, didn't know what was going on. He should have exactly exactly, all right, all right, Well up next we have comedian Tony Baker. He's gonna be joining us. He has some sould out shows in New York this weekend, so we're gonna kick

give it. Tony Baker. I just to Breakfast Club, Come on in the Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club and at and Charlomagne the Guy. Everybody, how do you d j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlo Mine the Guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Man very requested, guests, highly requested. Really yes Bakers. Wow, Man, for the first time, this is debut. I love y'all. By the way, I want to interview y'all. I want to ask y'all the questions.

So till man, how'd y'all getting reading? Yes, and listen out of Roger Bikers. I know she absolutely loves you. She always talks about you. So she hit me too. She was like, are you gonna have Tony Baker on? I'm like, it's already taken care of. Yes, that that is my dog right there. Now. I had everybody hitting me, from Sean King to the comedians, like isaid Kelly, I'm like anybody on Instagram? Yeah, Because it was like, man, I want to be on the Breakfast Club. I always

wanted to be on. I was like, I'm doing Carolines this weekend. Let me just you know, put it out there in the universe. We didn't need our help for that though. So that out quick, man, Yeah, it's sold out, like New York pool up because New York always in the comments section when you coming to New York Sin when you could were just born Sin. When you coming, I was like, all right, if I come out there, buy the tickets early. And they did. Now I saw,

I saw a bit you did when you returned the stage. Man, I know, condolences on your son, you know, But I was very intrigued because I was like, how does a comedian approach something right? You know, like this? So I'm even holding up. First of all, this has been first like the scariest I've ever been comedically, like normally, like I'm the type of comedian that I talked about whatever's

going on in my life. Now I talk about like on the surface stuff like you know, observations and stuff like that, but then you know, I always include what I'm going through in my life. And so with that, it was like, you know, comedy. My son passed August third in the car accident for those who don't know, and then uh, I went on the road August twenty

fifth to Atlanta. So I was like, uh, and I needed to come down, needed to keep working and making people laugh as part of mine, you know, therapy, and so I was like, uh, but I'm scared to do it because people saw me lose my son in real time, so it's not like you know, you just see me and like, man, he lost his son, but we didn't know him then, so we can kind of detach from that reality. So now I'm scared to bring that material out because the crowd is hurting too, so they mourning

with me. So it was just like, man, so I finally did it Gonna Keep Your Distance, which is a virtual comedy show that keV on stage does, and it went and it went well. I told the audience, look, man, I need to talk about this, so y'all need to open up, and then they received it, said yeah about the cremation, like you know, how do I know? I want to know? I need to check this this dust right? And I thought it was funnier, but I was like, am I supposed to laugh? Yes, that's the weird part,

But there's comedy everywhere. You just got to be able to find the sweet spot. I guess, to be able to make it relative and like funny Marlin Wayne said when he was up here, he was like when you're a comedian, even a funeral you can find some type of and he said that exact same thing. Yeah. So it's like, you know, because I'm sitting there and I'm laughing, you know, I was able to laugh, like, you know,

the day he passed, I'm laughing, you know, crying. You know, I still cry daily, but it's like I laugh at stuff every day too. So I was like, man, I never thought, you know, you never you never know how you're going to react yourself until it happens. Yeah. I mean, I'm because I'm from the country I'm from, so we laugh at everything. But I feel like sometimes with comedians it's like an obligation to be funny. But what if

I don't feel like being funny right now? Right? Yeah. Yeah, there's those moments where it was just like, I guess it was just in me and I found that out going through that. I was just like, man, I'm still cracking jokes. Yeah, I can't believe. It's like at the funeral, I'm doing a set, you know, I did fifteen minutes at the funeral, just like yeah, yeah, man, crying. And then I was be like, yeah, he was always late. He was late to the afterlife too, Like God was like, man, yo,

I called you twenty minutes ago. What took you so long? I had to had to put lotion on. Yeah, you don't. You don't get ashy here. You never know. You gotta look good. And I saw you said that the crowd gets tight, right, So when crowds get uncomfortable. As a comedian, you're used to I guess loosening them up, right, Yeah, yeah, so going up there like I'll cuss the crowd out.

That's the kind of comedian I am. Like, if the comedians and if the if the crowd is too stiff, I'll cuss them out, like you know if because like there's certain rooms where they'd be like prove it to us, and they just sit there arms folded. And then I saw somebody bring her boyfriend to a comedy show and he was sitting there like yeah the whole time, right in the front too. You can't be in the front

with that energy. Yeah you should be. If you're gonna be in the front, we need the energy, fake it. But if you're gonna be arms folded McGhee sitting the back, sit your ass in the back with that in is you'd be like look out man, but with with with this type of topic. And it's not like I was forcing myself to find the material because some comedians do too much and they feel like I have to make everything funny out of everything. For me, it was just organic.

It was just like, you know, I'd be looking at my son's earn. It's right in the living room. So I'm sitting there, I'm like, how do I know that's him in there? They could have handed me any type of your son. That's true, though, So I was like, yo, can I take this on more to make sure this is my son in there? You know what I'm saying.

The DNA, you know what's so crazy about that? When I heard you said, I think I would have to watch I know, as cruel as it sounds, only because maybe harvest and organs and stuff, right, you know what I'm saying. So I want to make sure y'all, Oh you want to watch the PLA, Yeah, make sure everything is gone. Definitely throw me in the oven three seventy five roasted for some seasons now, I don't think, but

that's y'all. Wanted to land like a week like slow roadsmen if they can you know what I mean, so y'all want to be cremated. I haven't thought about it, man, Yeah, I don't think so. I don't know who want to be Why do you want to be cremated? Because we're running out of real estate, that is true, So you don't want to It's over crowd it's like you, especially in New York. We drove through Queens. It's all cemetery.

That's very thoughtful of you. So just because of overcrowding, Yeah, because you know, the old bodies, the people that died in eighteen sixty nine, you gotta get out of there. Yeah, ain't nobody coming to visit? You know more, you died in eighteen sixty nine, your family moved. But that is too. I guess it's more inexpensive too, like as far as having to buy apply to land and having to get a casket because caskets are expensive too. Yeah, and you did and what you what you care what I'm saying?

Just throw me in there? Yeah, because you have to have on like something nice. Yeah, you know that's a wasted were good outfit? Wasted were good outfit, a good suit, you know, and then you're sitting there in one location like what if you don't like the location no more. Your family even moved to different states. I'm like, scattered me around, put me in a put me in the garden of a nice house, and just sprinkle me right there. He would look this out, sprinkle me the owner, come out.

What you're doing out there? You just run off? Yeah about movies. But they like, don't bury me. I'm not dead, Oh yeah, buried alive? Ye you were still alive. Yeah, but you did already did your autopsuit. You could have woke up then. But y'all been starting thinking about this man's coming. I know we were talking about how are you supposed to the funeral? Where he was in the club. Yeah, he was standing on stage, and I'm like, yo, that's how I want my funeral. We were talking about this

the other day. I want to party. You wanted to have you want to have your ashes in the club. No, no, no, I want keep my body for the for the actual party game that I want a game night though, I don't want the club because I'm not the club. Cool. Okay, okay, So prop me up at the table, luting cards in my hand, and you can pay your respects. You put that reverse down come back to his tone reverse. Yeah, that's a good funeral right there. That's how I was living,

or on stage with a mic. Okay, whatever you was into, like for y'all, y'all be propped up in the radio. We got Charlotte Man in the corner. You know what I'm saying, stirring the pot, so put like a pop here as you stirring it. Angel did with the info on the guest, hard heaving questions, doing you just be over here and not really knowing who the guest is? And like, give me your top five such and such here your top five real estate investments of all time?

All right, we have more with comedian Tony Baker when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is envy and Jeliye Scharlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with comedian Tony Baker. Ye all right. So look, you guys just talked about Jerry Carmichael. Did you watch his pasion y. I loved it. Yeah, like I didn't. I didn't laugh a lot, but I

loved it. And it was like a community gathering where he's interacting with the It felt like it felt like he wasn't forcing the jokes. He wasn't forcing the comedy. It was like you can laugh or you cannot. When he when he came out, I feel like the laughter reveed up after that. So there was some good, good things in there. But he felt very personally, feel like a conversation. And you know, there was a moment in there that hit me personally when he said his mom

was silent. So that hit me personally because I feel like when I lost my son, my dad, and my oldest brother, they just fell back. I'm just like yo. And I told him, I was like, yo, y'all, don't have to give me space here like I need y'all around. He was like, yeah, we hear you, but we're gonna get your space anyway. You know why, man, that's so it's so difficult when you have a loved one and they lose somebody really close to them because you don't know how to show up for them. Yeah. You know

what I'm saying. You let them know I'm here for you if you need me. Yeah, but I don't know how to show up for you. It's weird, man, that it's strange and that and that's and that's why I told him. I was like, you don't have to when people are grieving. I think we overthink it a lot and we'd be like, man, I gotta come in then, I gotta I gotta hit them on some hard hidden I gotta come in and say, you know, God puts things in place. You don't have to do all that.

Just like for me, I hate talking on the phone, like notoriously, don't call me, and so all I need is a text like thinking that you love you, bro. There's my my boy, Demetrius. He texts me every single day, Love you, bro, And that's all I need. Why do you hate talking on the phone. I hate talking on because you got to You got to show up first of all, on the phone the phone, you gotta be there. You gotta have energy, you gotta have them back and forth.

A lot of people, a lot of people just want to call you and talk to you andvent and you just sitting there taking and I wasn't ready to take it. So now I'm like, yeh, yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. Now, that's crazy to death. And then it's like you gotta be on. Then when you get quiet, like man, you're good. Why are you quiet? This is all I got, so all of that, I gotta prep for it. So it's like, man,

what you want? So you seem like you would be your phone talking from watching like your podcast and stuff that it feels like you would be like a good phone conversation of this, right, I mean I can, I can. I can hang in there. I can hold on my own. But if I don't feel like talking, I'll just be like that's crazy, Angela, Yeah, it's crazy. Sometimes sometimes you just gotta hang in there, you know what I'm saying.

Take it one day at a time. You got people that take advantage of you got people that take advantage of that, Like they know what time to call you, Like let me call them, like around nine thirty am when he just getting up. This is what I know people do. They'll text me and then I'll text back and they'll call me right after that because so they know you have your phone exactly, they know you can answer right now. Let's still watch it die. I will

watch that phone call dial in my hand. I'd be like, or if you post something on social media and then they call you right after, they're like, I know he's on his phone. He just posted this, and I'll see it too, And I just posted. Now they call me, I will watch that phone called dial. Do you ever not post because you don't want anybody to call you? Yes, I've done that, so you don't like the phone either. I talk on the phone. You know, we're not talking

the phone for real. When I'm in the car mostly, Oh yeah, Like if I'm driving and I got the Bluetooth, it's easier for me. Like while I'm just driving because I gotta be here anyway, this time I could really be doing at the same time. You can multitask, especially when you got the good when you're talking to them like it's like they're in the ceiling of the car. You're just like, yeah, so I'm told it right. And sometimes you gotta, you know, take one day at a time.

Also, Jack Carlo put out new music first Class, Rowdy, Rebel, Rowdy versus rebo I, D K and K trying to called Taco. And I'm hearing that Gunplay has new music out today. Auntie hold up and the cow gun slope mona to stick. I'm terrifically the sto ain't even take it to the situation.

Victim never came. I had to check it out different. Yeah, gun Play actually dropped the whole album called all bs Aside, All bs Aside. Okay, seeing that all bs a Side gun Play album out now, all right, that's an empire, all right, So shout out to everybody with their new music out today. I saw saw Tory Lane's discussing Chris Brown's album. He said he had a chance to listen to some of Chris Brown's music. He said, every song is a banger. You know that song Mormon Brace said

Chris Brown put out last week. A lot of people are loving that song. It's really really dope. He's sampled guy on that song. Let's chill and everybody hadn't been doing it. I'm gonna actually start the mix off with with let's chill all right, let's do it. Hey, I want to salute another R and B artist. Let's salute August.

I've seen it two, okay, because I spoke to August yesterday and he wants the people to know that he's not writing any tellaw book about anything, and there's never a need to go that low to write a book detailing anything about that situation. And he doesn't even know where that rumor came from. It came from the Sun and then it was reported on multiple platforms. But yes, he did a whole post yesterday letting people know that, no, he does not have any type of tellallbook coming out.

A matter of fact, he sent me a copy of a check that he got. He said, he's okay for you to say this, but the check was for like four hundred and five thousand dollars the check four and yes music. Yeah, he said. He said he would never dishonor himself by taking low vibration on money to write a book. And he said he just got a half a million dollars check from Screams on his music that from streams on music that's like ten years old, so he's not hurting for nothing. And yes, and it was

a surprise check check to make sure I have that right. No, it's not, it's it's actually just an accounting thing. But yes, four hundred and five thousand dollars. So shout out was actually shot by though, because I thought artists weren't making money on streams, but clearly all this is good. Artis always make money because people always listen to their music. Yeah, all right, well let's get to the mix. We're gonna start off with some less chill tomorrow and be here's

the Breakfast Club. Good morning. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same. I teamed up with Zyrtech for this allergy relief message.

Yeah, of course all day and him and Charlottage got the same skin tone, so I thought that would be really cool because they both bleached, they skinned the same place. I thought that would be you can't talk about what a little kid

You when you're saying joke, get your apologize because I don't want to get Will Smith now because that's a whole new thing. And now are you does that making nervous at all? Like? Has that ever happened to you? Has somebody ever approached you while you on stage? Never get been smacked? But of course people approach my stage. But I'm a bigger guy, so they kind of sit down.

They approached me, and I was like, this what you want to do and they kind of sit down. They were like, oh, this dude didn't do for that. But I I was DJ no, no, no no, because jumped a stage. Of course thout we're saying, but if someone come up and kind of bring that Will Smith energy, I a thousand percent And I know this is non spiritual, but I am suing A thousand said, I'm falling on the ground and I'm calling Selino and Barns.

So he has lawyer up, Yes he has. So we don't know what's about to happen, because he could be stilling the oscars. He could be suing Will Smith. We don't know, ah see smart secretive. But you okay, so he didn't press charges at that time, right,

that's you wouldn't have done that. Press charges now, and of course not we'd probably end up what about you, Ammy? It depends, right, It depends on the relationship, right, Okay. Let's say I'm doing the show and right you come up there and I say something about you and you come and slap me right now. Me and you have a relationship. I don't know if I can sue you for somebody.

So I don't know what they were friends. I don't know. That's a that's that's that's difficult. I think Will should just be like, you know what, bro, I apologize. Here's a check, just piece more for the check. We don't know what's going to happen behind the scenes, though it might happen selling

out everywhere. Tickets are selling out everywhere. He sold out immediately across the country with his tickets, so immediately, that's kudos to that, man. So I'm excited about the show. And of course, man, you're on my new TV show man, so that's right, you have new TV show talking about that. Urban Eats and Treats is coming on April fifteenth, so man, check that out. And it's streaming over a one hundred million homes, so big shout out to LL network and

NBC peacockets everywhere. And it's a great show where I go around telling people that we got great stuff to eat and urban neighborhoods, and we showed it. Amy took me to his favorite restaurant and we chop it up, and Aby even left me with the bility in which I thought it was weird. Well, you didn't ask me to do it. You know, I got a lot of favorite restaurants in Brokelyn. Oh, season two, let's go. I would love for you to do that. I own some

places too. Oh my god, Shack did it. If he did it, Nick did it, so many other celebrities on there. It's gonna be crazy. You know, a lot of people don't know that the Wilderdelt toy was created by you. Yes, so that breakdown, you know, you creating the Wildelt Tour and all that. Well, I actually started because I was writing on the Nick Cannon Specials shoot and we were sitting there and he was like, yo, we wouldn't took a watch Cat Williams. And he's like, yo, I wish

that I could sell out arenas like this. And I was like you, Nick, what do you mean you don't sell at arenas like that? And he's like, nah, I never have. It's one of my dreams. And I was like, well, you know, you have done a lot for me by putting me on the show and keeping me through all my antics and who on way too far, because you know, I mean, I go way too far. This is what I had him built. And I was like, I do

that for you. So I actually started it here in New York at the Amazuria, of all places, and I took I walked up to Nick. I was like, look, man, I don't know how much you get, but here it's some money and just the security day and I'm a due and I paid the whole cast, put them together and we did Amazuri and me and my daughter actually get the flies out to that and pushed it and it was such a hard struggle and I never forget that. When I went back to Nick, he was like, I

thought you was joking. I was like, no, man, to show us tomorrow. He was like, I got another show someone else. And I was like, look, whatever they pay and you, I will give it to you. Just show up for this and we're gonna start this whole thing. And we did an Amazouri did end up doing two shows, and then we did one in Long Island and then it turned into this phenomena. And I remember his reps telling me that these people. I was like, look, well, this is a real tour. And he was like these

people don't matter. I was like, what do you mean they don't matter? He was like, this is not a real audience. And that very next day I went and booked over twenty arenas and we just started selling them out all across the country. Yeah. I maxed out on my credit cards, sold my card and just put all the money I had and down and I just did it and we just knocked it out. And to this day, I still hold number two in the country for that year in Posstar for having the most sold out venues

across the country. Kelly Clarkson that year Kelly Clarkson, Yes, I did two. I killed him in de Luth. I did seventeen thousand and five in Deluth and I did two shows. I still hold a record in DC for doing two shows and one night and two separate arenas. Did seventeen thousand and five at Capital one and another thirteen thousand at Show Palace. Joe. If you listen, hey, you see all this money, geez. I wasn't about money. It was about the brand and actually bringing into people's homes.

And I see how much people enjoy the show, mother and son and father and daughter. I was like, this is finally something that you could take your kids to and enjoy. And that's what I've been doing. What I'm saying, Rip Michael's the April Foosday Comedy Show at the Backlaid's one of my favorite places to be this Saturday in Brooklyn. It's me Nick Cannon, Ti d Ray Davids, Michael Blacks,

and Bruce Bruce. So many different comedies especially, and we had money Bag Yo performing live and Little Kim in her hometime. I had to bring Little Kim back to Brooklyn, and you know, it's a whole huge thing. When we opened up to show a Little Kim just crazy. All right, Well it's Rip Michael's Charlemagne. You got a positive note. I do have a positive note, and the positive notee simply this man. If the words don't act that up, it's usually because the truth wasn't included in the equation.

I want you to remember that this weekend breakfast Club is y'all finish the y'all dumb
