Ye piece to the planet is Thursday. Yes it is a wiffle colored negro. Friend DJ NBA is off today, but we don't eat him. How are you? Let me? Had the worst excuse yesterday too, like your

Instagram gotta match up with whatever excuse you give. He was like, I gotta go pick up my family out of the country, and then I saw him in Atlanta. I was wondering about that too, but I was just minding my business. I don't you know, And he said it several times. I'm like, you got to pick up your family. I heard that too. And then yesterday he's in Atlanta. He's hanging out of it. Well, I thought he had to go to daily. I thought the day he had to go, biggest family about the Countryeah. I

thought he said Thursday. So he probably stopped in Atlanta and going to whatever. I don't know. God bless when we send him healing energy. How was your night last night? Uh? Oh my god. I did a Facebook audio room yesterday which was really great. It was on how to start a podcast because people are asking me that all the time.

So I had Jamal hill On and I had Norion and they were given their own expert advice on how they've done it, how to monetize it, and just basically the equipment that you might need, like the basic equipment, what's the best things to do, how to make it happen. All of that was great. Those are two people that definitely UH have have have a lot of experience when it comes to launching successful podcast. Hill and Nori drink

champs and Jamael hill unbothered. Her own whole network is Spotify too, so she was talking about what she looks for, and then Nori was talking about a certain instants where you have to be responsible for, like who your guests are and maybe even what they say while it's on your platform. We had that whole discussion too. Yeah, that's something I mean, that's one of those things you learn, you learned late. I never I never agreed with that early and I still don't all the way agree with it.

But if you can protect some people from being hurt by the things some folks say. Yes, Now, how was your night? I don't even remember what I ate from Guacamoleia A couple of nights to go, and that's all I keep thinking about about Tuesday. Yeah, because my wife had made it, but it was sitting in there for a while and I forgot it was in there, and I ate it the other night. How long does that stay good for her? Oh? No, boy, But it's been Uh, it's affected me the past forty eight seventy two hours.

I'll tell you that much. But I don't far in my clothes. I don't even worry about it. We got coming up in front Payton. Oh. First of all, on the show today, we have a brother man. This book right here, and I'm holding in my hands my grandmother's hands. Racialized Trauma in The Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies by Resuma Menicum resumea Menicum. This is one of the best books I've ever read in my life. Definitely one of the best books I read this year. But

we have this brother coming on to day. If you are on a healing journey and you are trying to figure out how to pass this trauma through your body, you need to read my grandmother's hands and you need to listen to brother Resuma when he joins us here on the breakfast club this morning. All right, that's right now what we got in front page Newsy. Let's talk about these create challenges, these milk create challenges that are going on. TikTok has made a statement and you know

they barely ever do that. We'll tell you what they said. Hey, it just means it hot as Helen him. I'm good Jesus Craig, I like it. And you got on a hoodie. Yeah, and I'm cold. I'm on shorts, but I have a hoodie on over my shorts because I'm cold. Maybe it's that Dan guacamole making me feel like this anyway, it's the Breakfast Club. We're here. Yeah, after the world Most Dangerous want to show to Breakfast Club. Charlomagne and God Angela. Ye dj Envia is off today and it's time for

Front page News. What we got, ye, Well, TikTok has made a statement after the milk crate challenge backlash. They've gotten everybody's trying to do this milk crate challenge and now they're saying that they will remove such videos from their platform. So we've been seeing these videos people stacking a bunch of the milk crates and then they climbed to the top and back down the other side without

them collapsing. Not a lot of people were able to hold their balance, and physicians were looking on with horror. They expect to see an uptick in injuries tied to this challenge. I can't speak for TikTok, but man, why aren't they so quick to always take down videos like that? But they'll let videos of you, unarmed black people getting shot by the police are beaten up by the police

linger on these platforms forever. Well, yeah, TikTok, I'm not sure what their policy is on that, but they did say they prohibit content that promoter glorifies dangerous acts, and we remove videos and redirect searches to our community guidelines to discourage such content. They said, we encourage everyone to exercise caution and the avia, whether online or off. Social

engineering is amazing. People always want to talk about agendas and you know, folks programming, but y'all programmed, y'allself with that great challenge this week because that started somewhere and everybody team's doing it all right now. Serena and Venus Williams will not be playing in the US Open. Here is what Venus Williams had to say in a video message. Oh well, it's news from Serena and I today, I too am unable to play the US Open. It's super, super,

super disappointing. Having some issues with my leg all this summer and just couldn't work through it. I can't wait to get back out on the court whenever that is. I'll work with my team to make it as soon as I can. No date at this time now, Serena posted. After careful consideration and following the advice of my doctors and medical team, I've decided to withdraw from the US Open to allow my body to heal completely from a torn hamstring. And the US Open does start on Monday.

It's televised by ESPN. Now, if you plan to go, they are going to require masks or proof of COVID vaccine for spectators. So if you want to go there, you'll get you can go and hold on. It doesn't require are no proof of vaccine. No man, y'all gotta y'all gotta figure this out, like they're a pandemic going on or not. Winbow didn't. They did require proof of negative tests. They asked fans to wear masks around the grounds,

but the US Open is not doing that. They said there's local vaccination rates around seventy percent, So they're banking on their protocols and common sense to keep the tournament from becoming a super spreader. If their crisis going on out here in these streets and not because some people act like it is, some people act like it is. I'm confused. I don't get it. The players get COVID tests upon a rival, and then they get them again

every four days. If you test positive as a player, then you'll force you'll be forced to withdraw when you hear stuff like that, How can you say that you know these corporations should mandate people to have the vaccine when they're having these gatherings like that with no mask and no proof of vaccination. Yeah, and it's in the United States. That's a little weird to me because I know they're saying, even to eat in a restaurant, you have to have proof of vaccination. So I smell a jigger.

All right, Well that is your front page. That's right. We gottah what you do next? Tell them why you at none of your chat? Get it off your chats. We gotta get it off your chests. Coming up next. If you want to tell us why you're blessed off you feel like vining, reach out and touch us right now. One hundred and five and five one oh five one is the world the most dangerous? Want to show the breakfast club, the breakfast club. This is your time to

get it off your chest. Whether you're man than from you on the breakfast club. You got something on your mind? Yeah, get it off your chat? Who's this? Oh snaps charlottage? What man? Peace king? How are you doing? Black man? What's your name? Yeah? I'm good man, I'm David Man to come morning, Angela even its beautiful good morning David. Oh Man, I love that. No, you know, I just wanted to say, you know, I love y'all. Man. That's

Charlotte Magine. You know you know what's crazy, man like because I listened to your I listened to the Breakfast two at thirteen. I'm telling now and y'all the changes now, all three of you guys made its ridiculous, like I love it. You guys are doing your things, and you know this one thing I wanted to talk to you guys about, okay, sir, like like and being honest for me, like being real with me. Plays it's the Illuminati real, not that I know. I'm not part of it, so

I wouldn't know. As soon as I get it. As soon as I get in, I'll let y'all know. Now, what changes have you made since twenty thirteen? Oh man? I had a baby. You know, I stopped smoking cigarettes. You know what I mean. And it's just you know, but I still had a baby fat though I don't know how to get rid of that. Now. I'm not gonna lie. Illuminati might be real because Angelie, you changed

the subject real quick, west side of it. I can't tell you that is very true how this world is going nowadays, with the with the all the the stuff of the book Revelation on life. So you know, whoever, whoever think that is cool? Like lons X man the six six six shoes? Come on now, Lay, how did you promote that? You know what I mean? Well, I believe that there are secret societies, but honestly, I believe that it's the not so secret societies that are causing us.

The mostar and the not so secret society is the American government. As an old white man, do you that's right? You know? Would you join that? Uh? Would you join the Illuminati? No? I don't know. I love God. I love God too, Benny, what is the Illuminati? I don't even know what I don't even know what it is. Yeah, I think edge Lee might be in she protesting a little too hard. I didn't know it. I didn't know. People in the humanati don't believe in God. I believe

in God. I believe in a high eproblem. But brother, thank you, bro, get it off your chests. Who's this? Hey? Charlamin more than scho more than Angel Ricky, jeez king, how are you, brother, I'm good man, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. Mold. I recently bought a crab so my my commuters a little bit more. But congratulations, Yeah, thanks man. Thanks. So I heard you say something earlier about those those videos online of like black men getting shot by the

cops or stuffing. I can do just stay up, man, not because I want to relift trauma and over and over set know and be able to have that footage to go through sometimes. So like you know, taking down the CREP Challenge videos and that's very we're just doing stupid stuff that way, but keeping those videos up it's

actually necessary as a resource. Yeah, But the logic don't add up though, if they're saying that they're taking down the create videos because they don't like to post videos where you know, people are endangerous situations, are there's danger, are violence, like come on watching cops beat up on black people. But the CREP Challenge, just like Jackasses, is voluntary. Voluntary uh um, calm harmy yourself voluntarily dudes with the

cops to contact because you have the bodycams. I mean that the cops are able to post that up and you can see it, all right, So you're saying one thing is more like accountability, the other one is a challenge. It's encouraging people to do the same thing. You know. So if it's almost like your stupid challenge is what people go up and do it, those dudes are voluntarily and and and those those you take down because you're

misleading the pumpics again encouraging people to do stafidity. But if you have those bodycam videos or those videos of people getting hurt, you should keep those ups because in terms of the resource, I understand what you're saying. I get it. I think I think. I think that those videos are making making people aware of what's going on. But I don't see the cops getting held more accountable

because of them. True, But add it up before you go, yes, I want to come through the E day all right, come to that Saturday, Angela ye Day twelve to five in Brooklyn. Okay, kids, do I have to be because I'm not. I know you don't have to be vaccinated, but I definitely encourage everybody to wear a mask. It is outdoors, so we're trying to keep everybody as spread out as possible. But I would say, please wear a mask.

I will will we will? All right? I look for it to seeing you guys there page Rick get bay, Yes, sir, let's get it off your chests. We do that every morning. We're still taking your calls right now. One hundred and five and five one on five one is the phone number. Reach out and touches. Man, it's the breakfast club, the breakfast club. Wake up, wake up, wake k you're trying to get it off your chat? Is it a man or blass? We want to hear from you on a

breakfast block. Get it off your chats? Who's this? Yes, sir? What's happening to King? All right? Man? This is Sean. Are you doing I'm blessed black and Holly favor my brother? How will you? All right? Good morning? How you doing well? I'm doing pretty good now. I want to get off my chest. Uh. The interview that you guys want to do with you last year? That was this week? Alight this week? Yes, sir, I'm so bad, I don't even remember the week. I feel like Charlie Mayne. I feel

like you were framing up a negative way. How was I framing it in a negative way when Bovie said he was whoop like that for being or claiming that he wanted to be. He wasn't attacking gay people. He was attacking a man. He was attacking what a naked man on stage? If you naked, you don't keep that. And I saw that the Scripps right, he came, well, he shouldn't watched sippers. Well, he said that though he

said that regard. He said, if it was anybody on stage neck of a scrape man or woman, he wouldn't like that in front of kids. So exactly exactly, but you were saying that. But then, but then he contradicted himself to very next sentence and said, you don't turn my scriptles against me. He's the one who said. The people he brought up, that's what that's a job. If you're not, If they're not, they're not a job. Now they don't have to be naked. Listen, you're probably right.

But here's the thing that I say, man, Let's not become what we hate. You know what I mean, if we if we if we don't, if we don't like, prejudice bigger than people, Let's not become prejudice bigger than people. Let's not hate people just because of who they are. I agree with you on that. And Andrew, Yes, you would think you were saying that people's actions don't necessarily influence your kids. What people do, don't that's starty enter into kids. That's not true. Not in regard to sexuality.

I disagree in regards when it comes to said, I've listened, I've never been influenced by seeing two women kissing, felt like, man, I need to go do that. That's true, and you know that's good for you. Hey, you ever watched poor Yes, sir, when the last time you ever been turned on by penis on a poem? I don't watch porn for penis. But but but but no. But all I'm saying is by that thinking, then people who are gay, if they watch straight people on television, it's not gonna turn them straight.

That's right. Why why? Why? Why gave people don't get turned scrap? I want you to look at it from this perspective. Also, right, how do kids? How do kids learn to speak or even walk? Not? Sexuality, Brother, sexuality is so natural. I mean every animals, animals are gonna have sex, Like if everything on this planet that breeze is gonna have sex at some point. That's just something that's naturally within us. And what you like is what you like. I don't think you can influence to influence

somebody to like something that they don't like. I don't care how many. I don't care how many I see today. I don't want one anywhere too. Shut up anywhere I'm trying to see. You don't aware of something, and it's constantly being put in front of your faith, then you might speak your inter All I'm saying is there's gonna be gay people here, whether or not you like it. That's right. There's nothing you can do about it. You cannot say, do not have anything gay on television because

it's gonna turn all the kids gay. Because guess what, there are some gay kids out there. They need to see somebody that looks like them, that represents them so they don't feel weird, other strange, suicidal and any of those things. And people need to understand acceptance of other people. And if you don't see any representation of a person that's other than what you are, then how can you even know to accept that? And my thing is not because I disagree with gay lifestyle doesn't mean that I

dislike gave people at off. That's not you know, it's like going to the restaurant and you're choosing what meals you want to eat. That doesn't mean you hate because you ordered porky. You just don't want to see gay people on television, is what you're saying. But I also know that you're not gonna. Hey, I also know you're not gonna sit at that table and chastise people for eating polk. I don't think you would care that much about what So why you care so much about what

people doing with that sexuality is what I'm saying. Don't worry about what people putting that. I don't care how much pork somebody puts on the menu. I'm not ordering it, and I'm not gonna chastise you for reading it. Hey, we gotta go, We gotta go, brother. I appreciate you, man. You know last thing in I just want people to know that you can't infringe upon my right just because you're looking to get your rights. And you know what rights a being? What rights of being a fringe upon

people as a street guard? Gay people exist? What do you want them to do? Hide you're speaking right now. We just add you speaking. They shouldn't hide, but they should be mindful of what the display in the public. Petty, hey bro, we love you man, appreciate you, sending you healing energy. King. All right, I don't know how you can say. You can't You're not allowed to speak, and you just spoke. The logic makes no sense. Everybody's speaking now.

We got coming up you, Yes, Kanye West down. The event is today, but give you some details and what's about to happen. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela. Well. Today is Kanye's third listening party in Chicago, and he's also launching a stem player that will let users customize any song on the Donda album. What do you mean? They can like give it its own beat and stuff like that.

You can control the vocals and drums, the base, the samples, you can isolate parts, you can add effects and things like that. That's dope, that's slick. How much does that cost? Two hundred dollars? So you can pre order that right now. And they're saying the album has an August twenty ninth release date on the iTunes store. What is that? That's Friday, that's tomorrow. What's to day? Today's the twenty six? So it on a Monday, oh twenty eight, I don't know, Yes, Sunday, Sunday, yep.

I mean that's the Lord's day. That would make sense for him. All right. So we don't know what that exact release date will be, but we do know at the Donda event tonight, they're going to be doing COVID vaccines again. But you're not required to be back sated or even test negative to be able to go to the event. Lord have mercy. Listen. I keep telling y'all, I respect the anticipation that he has built for this album.

I mean, it's an album named after his mother, so you should go all out right, like you should have two live events in Atlanta, the place you was born, and now bringing it back to Chicago, the place that she was raised. Why not? All right? Now, let's talk about Young Blue. He is apologizing to police officers in Georgia following his release. We told you about this whole running that he had. Now he was visiting a trailer

dealer called Absolute Trailers in Gainesville, Georgia. He was trying to buy a trailer, and the owner called the local police. When police arrived at the lot, and since Young Blue believe the cops had no reason to question him, he left and then he got pulled over. He got arrested for driving with the suspended license, and they gave him a citation. So then he went on Instagram. He was blasting Absolute Trailers and the Gainesville Police Department for allegedly

racially profiling him. But now he's apologizing for taking his anger out on the police depart He said, instead of the business who lied and manipulated the situation. I was embarrassed and in disbelief of what happened, so I directed my energy towards the wrong people. My energy will now be directed towards Absolute Trailers because their lies could have

turned to a possibly deadly situation for me. Officers were moving off what they were told by this establishment that I was a fraudulent thief before even knowing my name or interacting with us. I understand that that's that's what's response. So he's actually gonna be suing them now, not the

police department, but Absolute Trailers. I mean, it's not like the police would would need a reason to cercially profile a black man, but that trailer, that trailer, police gave him a reason, right, and he said that I meant when I'm wrong. Even though I did not agree with all the methods used of detaining me. My license was suspended and I was arrested legally. I was furious about what led the police to me. I could see how that could really furiate you all. Right Now, back to Kanye.

Drake is rumored to be releasing a song with Young Thug and Future, and according to reports, that's gonna be coming out tomorrow. So we'll see, because some people are thinking that Kanye's album is gonna drop tomorrow. But you see this, You see how you you mentioned Drake, but you you can't mention Drake what I've mentioned Kanye right now? Yeah, because the two of them right now. But that's my point,

Like that that's certified. Love a Boy was probably the most anticipated album of the Yeah, but now Kanye's putting his down to project right in the mix with that. Yeah, So I gotta respect it. We gotta see what's gonna happen these next few days. And Lizzo says she has heard from Drake after she name dropped him on the song rumors, here's that little drop. No, no, I ain't f Drake yet. So she actually talked about it on Jimmy kim Alive. I think he's heard the number four

song in the country. All right, No, actually I have heard from Drake, but that's all I'm gonna say on that. All right, get it, get a girl? Drake said he likes a girl's BBW. Right, all right. Now, Tina knows lust and is responding to people who are critical of Beyonce for wearing that Tiffany diamond her latest campaign with Tiffany and in the photos shoot. We talked about this a lot yesterday. People were mad about it. They were talking about blood diamonds. They were upset that jay Z

and Beyonce were not endorsing a black owned company. Yeah, so all of that happened. So now Tina knows, of course, it's coming to her daughter's defense. And she said, how many of you socially conscious activists owned diamonds? I thought, so, well, guess what did you go to try to check to see where the diamond came from? Probably not. So when

you guys get engaged, you won't have a diamond. You're gonna put on a sterling silver band and you better check out where it came from, in the origin of where it came from, and why you added check out the costs for the leather that you wear because they made it, came from another country to band, and not buy diamonds, right because you're righteous. So that was her

way of defending her daughter. Yeah, I don't understand the whole logic of they wan't Beyonce and jay Z to push black owned businesses, as if they don't do that all the time. Now, Beyonce got a black business directory on her website. It's been there forever, you know. I remember when they were writing the articles saying she had thirteen blacks sign is in Black is King. She she got spotted out in two black brands that did the bad company with a tell far and there was some

pant you had on two that were black on. So it's just like, that's what they do. Why can't they do both right? And they do do both well? That is yours. I don't even as sometimes I thought, you're not using that where I'm trying not to. But how else do you describe these people? Yeah? Jesus, all right, you got front page moves coming up next. Yes, and only fans, it looks like you might have a little bit more time if you wanted to do some porn

on there. All right, it's the breakfast Club, The breakfast Club. Your morning's will never be the same. What up, y'all? Is DJ and V Now Samsung is blowing people's minds right now. The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold three five G literally unfolds into a tablet, and the new z Flip three five G folds to fit in the palm of your hand. Insane pre audios now at Samson dot com. Hey, it's the worldmost dangerous. Want to show the Breakfast Club Charlomagne and God Angela Ye, dj Envia is off today

with its time for front page news. What we got, ye, Well, only fans had suspended their plan. They were going to do this policy change banning porn that was supposed to start October first, and you saw the creators took to the streets. Were not the streets, but they took to the web and social media and they were upset. They felt like only fans turned their backs on them, And so what only fans are saying? That decision was made to safeguard the funds of the creators and subscriptions from

increasingly unfair actions by banks and media companies. We obviously do not want to lose our most loyal creators. So now they are putting up pause. They suspended the plan October first, policy change the situation in Afghanistan. Not teach us anything. You can't pull out without a plan. Okay, that only fans even think about what they were going to do. After they decided to tell everybody that they can't do pawn on this site. I thought, that's what

Only Fans is all about. Yeah, you know what. And there's a number of other platforms that have stepped up ever since Only Fans said that they weren't going to be doing poor anymore. And some of them I saw have been crashing as people are trying to make their subscriptions so unlocked. As one of them, they said in a recent press release, their mottos get eighty five percent of their earnings, as opposed to the eighty percent found

on Only Fans. Only Fans still got a lot of brand equity with their name, though, right, so then it will take a lot of those other sites a while to get their name up. Yeah, I mean some of them have already existed, so it'll just be a good time to grow. But then for some people, they don't trust only fans. Now they're like at any moment and people ain't going anywhere. People be right on there to

day jerking off to their favorite celebrity. All right, Now, yesterday Joe Biden signed into law a pilot program that is gonna connect veterans struggling with PTSD with service dogs. What NY producers side eyed me and then he hit the dumb button. I guess I couldn't say what I said. I didn't even notice you said anything crazy. I said. I shouldn't say masturbating, right, that's what I should have said. Yes, I'm sorry. All right, back to Joe Biden and these dogs.

They didn't have to do with that, right, So Joe Biden signed a lot yesterday a pilot program that's going to connect veterans struggling with PTSD with service dogs. So it's called the Puppies Assisting Wounded Service Members Pause for Veterans Therapy Act. That's PAWS Pause Paws. Oh you want to go home? Well, why do that worth your Paul? Is Paul assisting wounded service members Paul not p a

USC paws. All right. So this is the culmination of years of hard work to boast the services to address our veterans mental and physical health from so many people. So they said similar programs have shown great results with veterans, and they want to give that access to even more people. I think that's nice. I was reading um in my grandmother's hands. They were talking about how having a pet can Actually that's one of the souths you well, yes,

one of the actions and practices. All right. Johnson and Johnson says that they're going to be doing their booster shots, and they said that the booster shot of their vaccine provides a ninefold increase in covid antibodies. So if you've already gotten that first dose, you can go and get that booster shot and it's going to give you a lot more protection. Johnson and Johnson, And then now let's

talk about FISER. They're seeking FDA approval for their vaccine booster dose, so they're saying that could get full well, as we know, the two dose vaccine did get full regulatory approval this week, so they are planning to get these booster shots available now and they have started that approval process for that third dose, and that's going to

be for Americans age sixteen and older. They plan to complete their application with the FDA by the end of this week and then it should be rocking and rolling soon after that. Okay, And by the way, what I said was we were talking about the only fans. I said, people aren't going anywhere. Okay, they'll be on there probably today masturbating two their favorite celebrity. That's what I said. But I said it, and which sling? Look type of sling?

I said, All right, oh man, you listen. You heard Angelie just referenced a book of my Grandmother's Hands, one of the best books that I read this year, one of the best books I've I've ever read period, especially in regard to healing. You know, I tell y'all, they're

invest in your mental wealth all the time. And if you're on a journey of healing, if you're trying to deal with your trauma so your trauma doesn't deal with you, then you need to listen to this interview that we have coming up with the author of My Grandmother's Hands, Resma Mini Him. Okay, I'm probably gonna mess his name up when he gets here, all right, because I can't pronounce anything. But he'll be joining us next on the

Breakfast Club. All right, all right, the Breakfast Club. Yeah, it's the world most dangerous morning to show the Breakfast Club. Charlomagne and God Angelie ye DJ. We had to step out. But man, we have the author of one of the best books I read this year, Menicim, author of My Grandmother's Hands, Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. First of all, it is a pleasure to sit down and talk to you. How are you. I'm doing well, man, I'm doing well. Busy but doing well.

Absolutely absolutely. Now tell folks what this book is about. So, brother, the book is really about racialized trauma and how more often than not, when we think about racism and white body supremacy, we think about it from an intellectual place like you know, uh, you know, dates and times and stuff like that. But my whole work is really around how trauma lives in the bottom and gets passed down,

and how it gets passed down through generations. What is up happening is that we we don't just learn from our caregivers in terms of struction, we also learn from what their bodies recoil from and lean into. Trauma in a person over time can look like personality. Trauma in a family over time can look like family traits. But trauma and a people can look like culture. And we and we missed those pieces. And so the whole book

was about my journey, my own personal journey. Um you know in Afghanistan, want to raise the Milwaukee, Wisconsin and my journey in terms of my people and my grandmother. Can you talk about what white body supremacy is? Yes, So when we say the word white supremacy, a lot of times what happens is that people move to the head. They start trying to say, well, I'm not racist, or I'm not this or I'm not that person. Did that

I'm not the person? Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And so what ends up happening is is that we end up having an intellectual conversation and not how this stuff actually impacts the body. And so white body supremacy is my attempt to get us to be again to think about what shows up when we're having these types of interactions, What shows up when we see a black body being murdered on the streets. Right, what shows up when we see people homeless underneath bridges and stuff like that, And that

actually may not just be your own personal piece. It might be historical, it might be intergenerational, it might be persistent institutional, and then your own personal stuff gets combined with So what I tell when I'm training young therapists, one of the things that I do is I say, the most important thing when you're working, especially with bodies of culture and black bodies, indigenous bodies, one of the things that you have to do is you have to

slow it down because a lot of times therapy people, therapists think that their job is to give you advice, when really their job is to create rooms so you can tap into resource that you don't currently have. Right, it is not just about talking to your head, is

about watching you, seeing you not just body language. But it's but but but having enough sense of resonance that when something shows up and having enough racial literacy that when something shows up in Charlotte Magne or something shows up in Sister E, that I'm able to pick up on it as vibe, as image, as meaning making, as behavior urges, as sensation. Right, that's when we like when when black people say to each other, I feel you there's such a depth to that that we haven't really unpacked.

You know, it's God bought this book in my life at the right time, you know, Angela ROI kept telling me to get it, but it came in my life at a point where I started doing healing exercises. I started actually doing things that helped this this trauma move through my body, explaining why that's not necessary. So I so if you notice in the book, brother, I don't call him exercise. I call him practice. Why it's because whenever we think about trauma, and specific racialized trauma, we

think about something we need to just purge. Right, But in an actuality, race, the concept of race has a four hundred to five hundred year old charge to it. So when we start to begin to deal with it, that charge can overwhelm us. And with your experience, and I've listened to you quite a bit, and so some of the experience when you have when you yourself have been traumatized, right in addition to the historical trauma that gets passed down, in addition to the intergenerational trauma, you

don't really know how to articulate. So the practices are designed to go slow. One of the things about the practice is that it forces you to work with to learn discernment. Oh this is more resource, or this really scares me, or this is more constricted in my body. When we're traumatized, that's all blended together. We don't know

how to discern one sensation from an image. You have to condition and temper your body to be able to withstand the trauma and the stuff that has happened, so you can metabolize it over time and not just be overwhelmed when it shows up. And then practices for white people as well, Oh hell yeah, what happens with white folks? Right? We live in a structure by which the white body deems and has deemed itself the supreme standard of humanness

philosophically and structurally rustic casts that's it. So what ends up happening is that in that process, white bodies, like like you noticed, white people have not all There hasn't always been white people, Irish people, Russian people, there were all of these, right, but the acceptance of whiteness right made made white people have to give up part of their humanity in order to be white. They had to you can't participate in brutalizing people, right without disrupting part

of your own humanity. And so the practices in a book are really designed to help white people begin to confront that thing that had that the ways that they've been standardized as human and me and you've been standardized

as deviant from human. They're they're the normal and we're deviant, right, And so what happens is is that not only do through the process of brutalization and the process of of whiteness, do they do they mispart of the humanity It is standardized, so they don't even feel like they need to even do nothing about it. That's why I have the practices in there for for for white bodies. You know, now's a great time to segue into the false fragility of

white bodies that do so. Um, what I say is is that there is appearance of fragility, but the reality of brutality. Right. So, so what happens is with fragility is that because white folks and white bodies have not had to develop any racial acuity or racial agility, what ends up happen thing is that when they get confronted with something race race around race. They their voice, actually their their their throat actually clinches. They don't there's no

language to it. It's because they haven't had to practice meet us three. We can't navigate in this world not understanding the vibe of race. So they either have to blow it through you, right, you know something you're doing is hurting them, or they have to cry. But notice that whenever you see these things on TV, like with with with Amy Cooper, right and all the notice that the first move is some type of emotional thing, but the next move is to grab the system that they

believe operation. Okay, we got more with the great resume of Minician when we come back discussing his book My Grandmother's Hands, Racialized Trauma in the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies on the Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world most dangerous. Want to show the Breakfast Club Charlomagne and God Angela ye j Envy is off today and we're talking to Resma Minicim. He's the author of My Grandmother's Hands, Racialized Trauma in the Pathway to Mending Our

Hearts and Bodies. Now, I love what you say about how you feel things in the body because you can hear certain things and it triggers, like when you're explaining to your child why they can't do certain things. As a father, that's that's a struggle with my thirteen year old daughter because I always wanted am I creating an inferiority complex and her by saying you're black, your friends the white you can't do what they do? Like, does

that create an inference? So here's so there are five intelligence or six intelligences that we have, but in this structure, in this culture we have, we have carved these intelligences down to one and we only believe that cognition and the way we think is the most important thing, but it's actually crowded out all of the other five intelligence And the five intelligences are vibes, images, and thoughts and

cognition meaning making behavior and urges, feelings and emotional and sensations. Right, And so if the vibe is resource, there is a less of a likelihood that she will she will pick that up as inferiority and more of a likelihood that

she will pick it up as resource. True. So what I tell parents a lot of times that are trying to usher their children through this brutality is if you've done some of your own pieces and you're coming from what solid in you as opposed to was wounded in you, right, your children will pick it up in their nervous system. That's why the work around me talking about the body is so important, is because they are intelligence that black people have that that is literally tied to creation that

we must cultivate. We got to cultivate it and stop overriding in like pushing it to the side, like or so dirty pain is that pain where you're with somebody or you're doing something and something in your gut goes, I need I need to stop dealing with this person. I really need to do better, and you don't. That's dirty, right.

Clean is when you go, I need to stop dealing with this person, and then you do, and even though you in pain, something opens up a little yeah, not like oh not like that, but just like can be such a burden, right well, paints so as adults are As adults, we don't get the choice between pain and no pain. Most of the time, we get the choice between clean and dirty, right right, Am I going to make a choice. That's that's that's that's tied to my integrity or am I going to make a choice to

move me around it? That's it, and the rest of the things line up after you make that choice, you know. But sometimes I think your emotions can make you because we also talked about all these different things in our body and thinking with your brain and cognitively, and sometimes your emotions will make you, not make you, but you'll deal with dirty pain because of your emotions and your

body response. And it is painful to make that right decision. Right. See, this is why when I'm doing my work with people, I don't I don't go at people and think that they're defective. I don't think it's defective. When we accept dirty there's usually a very good reason that trauma that some people look at as a defect, right, it's not the resource and joy is the primary energy. Trauma is not primary trauma towards that energy, and our work is to begin to create room so that energy that is

tied to creation can actually emerge. One of my favorite chapters is healing is in our hands? Is it? Really? It is absolutely in our hands. One of the things I appreciate about you and appreciate about the show is how much y'all focus on black mental health. I love that because it's changing. People are starting to begin to think about Now access is another thing, right, But but it's beginning to change. People are willing to have a discussion around about trauma and what can we do about it,

and not just seeing it as a personal defect. It is not a personal defect. Black people are not defective. Something happened and continues to happen to us. We have to start thinking about how do we create communal ways of healing that and not just individual ways. Yeah, that's what my girl, dead dead would say that to me all the time. She was like, therapy is great. It gives you the language to be able to explain what it is you're going through, but you still got to

go do these practices that actually heal. That's it you have to So I did, so I did you read read it in the book. I did two years in Afghanistan, right. And in those two years in Afghanistan, I my job was to I worked on fifty three military basis in southern Afghanistan, right, And so my job was to go to the basis after I got hit by the Taliban, and my job was to go there if somebody hung

themselves process the base. Then my job was to determine whether or not the military contractors that were there could stay. I was one therapist with seventeen thousand people, damn right. So through the course of that hearing people's trauma, seeing things I shouldn't have seen, smelling things that I shouldn't have smelled. In order to get through that, I had to override my own pieces in order to be of service to people. So I did that for two years,

and then I came home. And then when I got home is when the stuff started popping up, right, And so when that stuff started popping up, Luckily I had friends of the trauma therapists and people who love me. Luckily I had a wife that was like, I'm You're gonna have to do something right. And so the reason why I say that is that had I saw this as a personal defect right, what I was going through,

I probably wouldn't have made it. Because that stuff actually helped me help me begin to ask questions around, Okay, if I'm having this experience, what was my grandmoma, my grandmother, what was the experience she was having picking cotton and her when her hands were bleeding right. So the Afghanistan stuff, all of that stuff, there is a purpose for these pieces. I'm not saying we should be brutalized. I'm saying we

can turn that into fuel. But if you ain't gonna do it, if you ain't practicing, you ain't gonna do it. If you ain't getting your reps in, you ain't gonna do it. If you just think all you have to do is be tough and override, that's not. Trauma will break you down and force you to contend with it or force you to become an idiot. When did you

first become aware of the trauma and your body? I think I began to recognize it more fully after Afghanist over there, when you're on the basis, you don't break eye contact. Everybody's doing that. So when I got back, that was my body was My body was acclab it too to just the person you're within or everybody, everybody. So when I got back, was e dinner with my wife and this dude caught my eye. I'm looking over her shoulder and this dude caught my eye and so

I stare. I just stared at him, right, and he got he got uncomfortable, and my wife looked at me, she becaues, you need to stop doing that, you really, because I was so caught in New York, we're so conditioned to not make eye kinds with anybody, like since I was young. It's like, don't look at anything, keep your eyes, you know, the first thing you don't want people say what you're looking at? What you're looking at? You look at someone. And I believe some of that

is actually what I call a traumatic retention. I believe that for black people, not looking in people's eyes sometimes is a direct result of enslavement. Um I think I think because that that could potentially put your people in harm's way and put yourself in harm's way, right, I think that's why some of the moves like what I call racial caping, I think I think those people, we make those moves, but I think it's a it is

a traumatic retention that's passed down. That's worthless, that's decontextual. I agree with that. I heard Jay Z once say, also, too, you think somebody sees you? Is he looking at you too long? He's looking in your eyes, he looking at your soul? Like then this pression might really see me before I see. That's right. I don't even know who are you trying to look at my soul? I will destroy you. But but what I don't do is put that defect in my people. I'm not gonna say someone's

defective in my people. I'm gonna say something happened to my people. That's right. Okay. We got more with the Great Resuma Minicim when we come back discussing his book My Grandmother's Hands, Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies on the Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world most dangerous. Want to show the Breakfast Club Charlomagne and God Angela y dj Envy is off today

and we're talking to Resume Menaim. He's the author of My Grandmother's Hands, Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. Now, can we talk about the title of the book, to my Grandmother's Hands and what that does represent as far as the work that you've been so so, my grandmother was a small woman, but when we were young, like seven eight years old, we would go over there and stay with my grandmother and my grandmother number one, she would be in the kitchen

and she would hum. And when you notice in the book I talk about the hum and the vegel nerves and it's a very important piece um. And so we would just rub her hands. Now back in I don't know if y'all old enough to remember this, but back in the day, black folks used to have two TVs. The big old RCA Curtis Mathlets that was on the floor, and then the little one that worked up on the top of They would never work right, and so or

the sound worked of the pres the wearing. One time I was rubbing their hands and I was comparing her hands to my hands, like, my hands are very thin and angular. My grandmother had these thick digits, like thick, and then the thickness inside of her her palm and the thickness on the back of her palm. And so I was, I was rubbing, and I said, Grandma, why are your hands so fat? Why are your hands fat like that? And without missing the beach, she goes, oh, boy,

that's from picking cot. I'm seven to eight right, And I'm like okay, And she must have heard the space divide. So she turned and this and her cadence picked up right. I knew. I didn't know what it was, but I knew I need to page. She goes, well, you ever seen the cotton plant? No, man, She goes, complante got these birds. This is where she's talking. And I said okay, and she said, when you reach your hands in there, And at four years old, I started walking up and

down the rods where I was four. My daddy was a sharecropper. So when you reach your hands in that stuff, your hands bleed. And I did not remember that story again until I started reading the book. I started writing the book, that's amazing because then the calysis protect her hands bleeding. It just gets used to it. That's exactly right. And then I took that and said, whoa, that's how trauma works, right, because when I got back from Afghanistan, all of the callouses that I had, I was so

used to it. My wife would tell me, I don't even know who you are. I can't feel you, and I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about until until I started doing the work. And the other thing is my grandma. She would complain of her hands, says she authoritis. I didn't find out to after she passed that she didn't have authority. Wow, you know, I wanted to ask you about something because me and my home

girl dad was talking about this yesterday. It was a Instagram post somebody posted and they said, not everything is a trauma response, And they say, the point here is we can't just slap a label of trauma on the everything. We can't understand all behavior as trauma responses. We have to think more about the roles culture plays and creating

and sustaining trauma responses. And trauma responses aren't necessarily all bad. Yeah, absolutely, Okay, So trauma is personal and particular me and you maybe homeboys, and something happens in front of us, right, A necessary component of trauma is stuck, Right, no matter what I do, stuck, something that stuck. That's a necessary component. Something back and happened to both of us at the same time. And you get stuck and I don't, right, So when it

comes to trauma, right. But but there's a higher propensity to get stuck, right when when the thing that happens happens to a massive people. Right. And I believe that you will more likely get stuck in trauma when children are involved, right, and when there's a lot of stuff happen, like when black people watched Rotten to King, when black people watched Brother George Floyd, right, when black people heard

about Brianna Taylor, Right, there was a visceral reaction. You there's something you there's something that happens in your body when you hear and see those different types of things. What I would say is some people get stuck with that and some people don't. It does it? But it but but But I also don't want to take the culture off the hook, right and say, well, not everybody is traumatized, so it's not really a big deal. It is a huge deal because the trauma that we're talking

about has compounded over time and has been decontextualized. So now we take out on each other, right, And so I say, you have to you have to do both. You have to keep the vertical and the horizontal when you're viewing this stuff around race. You have to keep both of them on the table. You know, you say that a healing racism begins with the body. Do you think that takes precedent over legislation. No, No, here's here's what I believe. I believe that legislation is fine, and

it is anaddic, It is unsustainable. It can't just be policy changed. It can't be policy changes. Look, look we had, we had the Voting Rights Act, right, Look at what we Look at what we're doing right just yesterday trying to implement the Voting Rights from sixty five. You see

what I mean? What I believe is that as we created at what I call a living embodied anti racist culture, as we begin to do that, the emergence will will will open up so much room and so much feel and so much power that our politicians will either have to comply or get the hell out of the way. But because we haven't done that, because we because we haven't worked our own pieces, they can keep skirting around what they should be doing for us as a people.

One of the things I appreciate about what y'all do here is that y'all pub people and do things for people without expecting something back. And what that does is creates a cultural glue, right, And so those pieces matter. The more you do that, right, the more you develop these structures of trust, not not transactional right. Right. So once as we begin to continue to do that, as black women continue to do that, black women are the ones that's ushering this end at least in terms of

what I'm saying, that's right and so and so. As that begins to happen, you're not the powers that be are not going to be able to continue to do the way that they're doing it because we're developing structures of trust, not structures of transaction. And at the same time, when stuff happens between us, right, I can hold it with you and help you move communally through that trauma. If it's a trauma, response will help you move through it and not just cast you off. That's the pieces. So, yes,

legislation is fine. Do you find that white people are receptive to these illnesses? I'm just curious. But the reaction, no, no, no, no, no no. I trauma response for sure, that was trauma retention. Yeah. I didn't have some experiences in the last the last couple of weeks trying to train white folks around this. You know, you started writing this book in twenty seventeen, right, So what's next? Because I'm sure so much has happened since then, and people do my grandmother's face, what are

you working on next? But it was so a couple of beautiful things. I just I'm working with um getting ready to do a podcast called grill Amuse. I actually am just signed to do it documentary based on the book. Wow Wow. I've been talking with sister Angela. Anybody do some stuff with me on that, mister Angela ry Um. I am writing my next book, which is called The Quaking of America, The Coming Race War, um and um and how to prepare and then I also on my website,

I have practice books. Yeah, twelve books, practice books. I got ways for people to work with this stuff. So go to my website resume dot com, um and uh and then I do. I also do foundation classes so people can learn the basics of white body supremacy and somatic evolution. Anybody that's on a journey, journey of healing, you gotta get my grandmother's hands. You have to racialize trauma in the pathway to mending our hearts and bodies.

It's available everywhere you get books. Now resume, Thank you, my brother. It was an absolute pleasure man, Thank you, thank you, sir. It's the Breakfast Club's Report. Angela the Breakfast Club. Well let nas X is speaking out after Tony Hawk did announce the release of limited edition skateboards, and these skateboards actually have his blood, Tony Hawk's blood mixed into the deck paint. Here is Tony Hawk talking

about these skateboards. Hey, what's up. I'm Tony Hawk, and I recently became an ambassador for Liquid Death Mountain Water. Apparently I didn't read the fine print, and now Liquid Death officially owns my soul and my blood too. It's very confusing, and we're going to use it for skateboard graphics. So they're gonna mix my blood into the paint and do a limited run of skateboards using my real blood

in the graphics. But some of the prophits would go towards killing clastic pollution and to building skate parks and underserved communities. Now, little nas X post and now that Tony Hawk has released skateboards with his blood painted on them, and there was no public outrage. Oh, y'all ready to admit, y'all were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes, And maybe you were mad for some other reason. So

I mean that is a very valid point. People were so mad when he put out these nikes and had the blood mixed in. Well, it's different too though, and then now Tony Hawk has skateboards, but Tony Hawk is white. Little knas X black black people. We are much different when it comes to watching other black people being the satan and blood and stuff like that. That's a fact. That's why you see the white guys they do the golf thing and all that stuff. Nobody really trips on that.

We don't really rock with that in the black community. Can't speak for all black people, but you know, I'm just saying, I mean, but it turned into a he was controversy where they had to pull the sneakers and everything. I can understand though. Yeah, so it wasn't a real collaboration. It wasn't. But people do it all the time with Nike and Kells. Yes they do. They don't pull them all the time. Crazy Nike will pull up a collaboration

that's not authorized in a minute, all right. Little nas X also has shared a new teaser video announcing the release state for his debut album, Montera, which is going to be September seventeen. Breaking news power Bottom rappers, blue Law section his Caucasian friend let a prison escape this morning. This comes just months after the tent the Talentless Homosexual was sinceence to five years in prison. Investigators say anybody that comes in contact with the power of bottoms to

contact authorities immediately. Somebody define power bottom. For me, I didn't know you could be a power bottom. Oh so you just like being a powered top. I thought you could only be a power top. I thought that. I thought the top. I thought the power was in the top. I don't try any of that, but I thought the power was in the top. I didn't know you could be a power bottom. Listen, sometimes the bottom is so

much better than the top. You never know. I listened to the Read podcast for years and could fury to be given the bottoms. Hell, I didn't know that there was power in the bottom. Right. That's how you turn out what some people consider negative into a positive. Right. Guess all right now. He also put out a snippet of some new music and he said no album cover coming soon, y'all gonna effing love it, and then he

said creating this album has been therapy for me. I've learned to let go of trying to control people's perceptions of who I am or what I can do and where I will be. I realize the only opinion of me that really matters is my own. That's a fact. Yeah, all right. Now, NICs has announced the global partnership with Escobar Cigars, and so come on na Escobar now yes, okay, not nazaks a different nas how to make sure. So Nice is now both a co owner and equity partner

in the Escobar brand. So congratulations to him for that. You smoke cigars on occasion when I'm on vacation, it's not It's not a thing for me though, just for the post for a picture. No, I don't do it for pictures. I do it on occasion. Like I'm not the guy that goes to the cigar lounge like a lot of people and makes a thing of it. But yeah, I'm'm wanting a nice cigar here and there, all right now. The flavor Flavor says that Doctor Dre's album is getting

One of the best people in the world. Man. Not only that, but I'm honored for him to have me record something at his house for his upcoming album that's getting ready to come out so different. Yeah, so listen people, do

Alan Iverson was on Shannon Sharps on Clubs Shah and he was discussing how he feels like he could have been better at football than at basketball. Not being cocky, not being arrogant. I think no, I know that I would have been a better player in football than I was at ball. And that's not disrespecting basketball, guys. That's not

disrespecting the game that's done so much for me. But football was my first love. Now, he said that he wouldn't have stopped lifting weights after high school if he would have played football. He said he would have had a short career with basketball. He just didn't like lifting weights because it was too heavy. He said, football, I knew I would have had to lift. Well, what's meant for you? Will not miss you? All right? And Doja Cat is hosting MTVS twenty twenty one VMA's so congratulations

to her. It's gonna be live on the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It goes down Sunday, September twelfth at APM. It's her first time hosting, so it's her hosting debut and she's definitely performed right there before, so they said, also performing our Camilla Cabeo, Little Nazac's Lord Mochigue Gun, Kelly Olivia Rodrigo, Chloe, Shawn Mendez and twenty one pilots. The Food Fighters are getting the inaugural MTV VMA's Global Icon Award and they are going to perform as well.

Missy Elliott, in the meantime, was doing an interview for Interview magazine and she was talking to Doja Cat, and Doja Cat said, when it comes to rap, I could be better. I think everybody feels that way with their own art and all kinds of ways. But I see all these incredibly talented rappers around me, and I'm like, yeah, I'm doing pop, but I should focus on my pen

now more than ever. I'm good, and I can be funny and charming, and I can do little punchlines here in there, but I need to talk about my life more and what's going on this personal stuff that happens in my life that I don't talk about in my music. I also kind of don't care now. Missy Elliott said, sometimes you have to take a chance. I never felt like I fit in period. I don't think there was a lane for the music that we did. The only reason they found the lane is because I was rapping

over the tracks. But at first I don't think people understood the music. You're starting to create your online. It probably won't ever fit, but people will love it. Those are Jet and then Grils because I think she can rap when she really wants to, because she killed that City Girls record. Though yes Poom Poom talk I like those are Kat. She said that she finds rapping harder than singing because she doesn't want to come out with silly lyrics. She said, it's harder for me to rap.

Sometimes I get writers black because I don't want to write something stupid. Sometimes I write something and be like why would I say that? Then I'll restart and eventually just give up. But when I do it right, I'm really really happy. Even when it sounds stupid, it makes sense. Like even on that City Girl song, she say the Poom Poom is talented. It do KRT wheels. We know that Johnny can't do cart wheels, but it sounds amazing when you hear say it. That depends on what you

mean by kartwheel and that is your rumor reports. All right now, chelamne me getting ready for that Donkey of the Day. Yes, four after the hour. We need two people to come to the front of the congregation, James Acres and Dan Bowman. They are both on other sides of the mass spectrum. We'll talk about it, all right, coming up Donkey of the Day, Breakfast Club, the breakfast club.

Your mornings will never be the same. CJ MV Indigital Insurance is all about flexible with their flexible payment plans and the ability to choose your payment date. Get the quality coverage you deserve at prices you can afford. For eight hundred General or go to the General dot com. Some restrictions apply time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Dunkey of the Day a little bit of a mix club. So like a Donkey day. Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three years,

like Donkey of the Day is a new wife. Donkey Today for Thursday August twenty six goes to two people on two different sides of the mass spectrum. Okay. One is a man from Texas named James Acres, the others a father from Florida named Dan Bowman. Let me tell you something, my people. Life is about choices. Okay. That's it, nothing more than nothing less. Everything in life comes down

to a choice. Everything. It's estimated that the average adult makes about thirty five thousand remotely conscious decisions each day. Thirty five thousand remotely conscious decisions every day, every day, okay, in each choice has consequences. There are consequences that every single choice. One of y'all may choose to not brush your teeth this morning, Fine, that's your choice. But if you're wearing a mask, that mask gonna humble the hell

out of you. Okay, hell, I'll brush my teeth every morning, but around noon or one o'clock, when I smelled the inside of that mask, it reminds me to go kill ninety nine point nine percent of germs that cause bad breath, plaque and ginger virus by goggling with that listing cool mint, which is also my choice to do. And we make choices based on the circumstances presented to us at the time, which leads me to today's donkey of the day mask To wear a mask or not wear a mask? That

is the question. Well, it's your personal choice, okay, when you are in your own personal space. But what I think folks fail to realize that we share this space called Earth with other humans, and we frequent other humans establishments. Okay, when it comes to schools and corporations, things of that nature. The people who run those establishments can choose to have whatever mandates they want. They can choose to have whatever rules they want, and you, as an individual can make

a choice to either follow the rules or not. You as an individual can make the choice to follow the mandates or not. This is why I don't understand folks who act like the civil liberties are being taken away. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. They are giving you a choice, and the choice is simple. Wear a mask, you can come in. Don't wear a mask, you can't come in. Either way, your choice, Okay. Everybody always having these conversations about boundaries. I have to put up boundaries

to protect my peace and protect my energy. True, Well, these schools and corporations are putting up boundaries to protect themselves. Okay, you have to be able to understand that, right, Well, people like Dan Bowman don't see it that way. See. Dan Bowman is a fifteen year resident of Dripping Springs, and he's been arrested for assault after he got into a physical fight with his student at his daughter school while protesting the mask mandate. Let's go to w FR

CBS four for the report. Police in the midst of a steady stream of kids filing into Fort Lauderdale High School on what appears to be a usual Monday morning quickly turns unusual for the past four school days. This father, who would only identify himself as Dan, walks his daughter Isabel into school, only to be denied because she won't wear a mask. This is him before the arrest. First of all, it's illegal for them to mandate it. It's

against the law. Isabel is a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High. She admittedly is an anti masker and thinks face covering should be optional. Since Broward schools resumed in person learning, Isabel has shown up every day for the proverbial door that he slammed in her maskless face. Several dozen classmates line the fence, chanting their feelings on the matter. More

now on that police report and the arrest. The young lady who saw walking up to mister Bauman in that video, she attempted to grab the cell phone, or apparently, according to police, mister Bauman grabbed her arm twisted a back according to police reports, now facing aggravated child abuse charges. I notice is Florida, and I know the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida. Is it ever this serious? Okay? I've seen people follow the rules to a t when it comes to the

dress code of nightclubs. All right, These dudes that don't even wear button ups will go buy a button up tucket in make sure they got on nice shoes and slacks, just to be dressed right for the nightclub. But she's standing outside the school. Your daughter attends protesting because she has to wear a mask. A mask. The thing that bugs me out about parents who don't want their kids to wear a mask is what's the other option? I just want my kids to be safe. Okay. Clearly we

know it's a disease out there called COVID. Clearly we know people who got it have gotten it, died from it. And if they say a mask slows down transmission of it, didn't wear the damn mask. I don't know when this trend started, okay, but we wear long sleeve shirts and hoodies and ninety degree weather. Our producer Eddie in here with one on right now. Okay, you got on a long sleeves in a hoodie right now. Hell I was in here with one on last week. Was I comfortable

when I went outside? Hell No, got in the car and put the ac on low. Okay, they didn't even have the temperature, just blow freezing, all right. What y'all talking about a mask makes you uncomfortable? Listen, choices, Okay, that's what we make here, people choices. We choose to do these things. I've seen people wear white shorts, and I've seen white people wear shorts in the winter. Okay, but y'all saying masks make you uncomfortable? All right? Now.

On the other side is James Acres. Okay. James Acres is from Texas, and he absolutely believes in wearing a mask. In fact, he was at the school board meeting in Texas and he wanted to prove that we all follow certain rules for a very good reason. Let's go to WXA n NBC thirty six. What are your port Please? The furor over masks led to an unexpected moment at last night's Dripping Springs Iced Board meeting. It's this is parent James Acres. He decided to strip down to his

underwear at the microphone to make a point. He also outlined all the different laws and social expectations in place people are expected to follow, whether they like them or not. Masks, he says, are one of those things people should abide by in the effort of doing the right thing for the safety of others. We caught up with him fully

clothed today. There are too many voices out there that I think are digging in for political reasons and absolutely just not thinking about the common sense decisions we make every day to comply with everything. Do we have audio of James Acres at the schoolboy meeting? Can we hear it? Please? I'm here to say that I do not government or any other entity, just ask my wife telling me what

to do. But sometimes I got to push the envelope a little bit, and I just decided that I'm going to not just talk about it, but I'm gonna walk the walk at work. They make me wear this jacket. I hate it. They made me wear this shirt and tie. I hate it. On the way over here, I ran three stop signs and four red lights. I almost kill somebody out there. But by god, it's my roads too, so I have every right to drive as fast as I want to make the turns that I want to.

It's something protocol. People. We follow certain rules for a very good reason. Mister Akers, I understand, I believe you're a swimmer, but if you wouldn't mind putting your pants back on for a comment, that would be appreciated. He's pro mask. James Akers made a choice to script down at the school board meeting because he wanted to prove why folks should wear a mask. I can't even make the kind of stuff up up. Listen, all choices, all right. Wearing a mask is a choice. Scripting down to your

underwear at the school board meeting is a choice. They are all choices. But here's the thing for me, and while we are here for Donkey to day see, people who are pro vaccine promsk sound just as Nutch as people who are anti mask anti vaccine. These two situations. James Acres of Texas and Dan Bowman of Florida. One is anti mask, one is promsk but both of them are doing nutass things to prove that point. W makes it harder, okay, it makes it harder for a lot

of people to choose what to do. I don't know who's right or who's wrong here. All I know is you, as in you listening, me as in me talking. We all have to make our individual choices. We have to use our discernment to make choices based off the circumstances that are presented to us. When it comes to wearing mask and establishments that aren't yours, you have the right to choose based on what the owner of set establishment mandates.

I'm not protesting at a school about said school having a mask mandate, and I'm damn sure I'm not gonna in a fight with a student over it. And I'm not stripping at a school board meeting down to my underwear and running red lights and almost killing people to prove why people should wear a mask either. What I'm basically saying is all of this is making us crazy. Okay, everybody,

regardless of what side you are on, Folks, are going mad. Okay, if your pro mask pro vaccine, don't let these people who are anti mask and anti vaccine make you go nuts. And if you anti mask, anti vaccine, don't let people who are pro masking pro vaccine make you go nuts. Because here's what it all boils down to. People. You are free to make whatever choice you want, but you

are not free from the consequences of those choices. The only thing I pray for, in the words of the late Great Nelson Mandela, may your choices reflect your hopes, not your fists. But man, everybody's doing a lot of fear mongering dow days. Please let him Mark give James Acres and Dan Boming the biggest he huh heh heh you stupid? Are you dumb? All right? Well, yo, let me thank you for that. Donkey to day worked yourself up into a sweat over there. Hey, man, you know

it's everybody. All of this is making everybody go crazy. All right, Well, coming up next, we do have to ask ye eight hundred five or five one oh five one is and number. If you have any questions you need some advice about anything, call us up right now and I got you. It's the Breakfast Club, Breakfast Club, It's the world most Dangers. Want to show the Breakfast Club. Cholomne and God Angela y dj Enva is off today, but we definitely don't need them for this segment because

it's ask ye hello, who's this Yo? What's going on? Yo? Yo? Yo? Yo? First of all, man, Pa, y'all man, I can't believe I'm talking to your mom. Face starts, what's up? Well, yo? Eat man A little my girl. Man, she's pregnant right now, right and everybody's be telling me, oh, I when they pregnant, they'd be fucking, they'd be tweaking and cool, but the next level right now yo, And she's mad, crazy and secure and it's like, right now I'm pouring the joint

where I want to leave her. And my Pop's always be like, Yo, you know you created a monster because you know I'm probably it's probably a resort pass stuff. But I'm trying to give my stuff together man like it. And it's like, Yo, I can't, I can't get a break Yo. I'm a day. Two days ago, she went through my whole team mobile call on if there was a guy, she would hang up if it was a girl. She was how old is she? She's a grown woman?

Yes she thirty four, thirty three. That's awful, Like, hey, yes, she wearing my brother wasn't like, what else did she She went through your phone instead of calling numbers back? What else did she do? Well? Another time she took my boy's laptop. Right, it's my MacBook because I'm idwart he engineering and stuff like that. Right, bom, she took my MacBook. She thought it was mine, but it was my man's mac Book and I was because I was fixing it fall. So I'm like, yo, listen, you took

the wrong mac to take minds. I don't care because I don't want to be responsible for my man's stuff. Like frol me right, that's like unexplainable right there. Yeah, she did not give it back. She was like, f you, I got the nobody getting I have like a big scene.

And she'd be putting me in positions where not for none, she'd be disrespected chicks like people know who she I'll be feeling like, ya, you're gonna put me in a position where somebody gonna want to do something you And then I'm not gonna allow that because at the end of the Day's still my girl. But I'm just like many mad friends. So let me ask you this, is there a reason, and I want you to be honest. Is there a reason why she's acting like this? Has

something happened in your relationship? You know, in the past, she never had pal I ain't gonna say that, like, she never specially ever called me cheating, right, but she she always thoughted like a million texas. I don't know. I just got a thing where I would be okay, okay,

So let's be honest. You have cheated like years though okay, but that's still obviously, But it was because it was a it was a minute where I wasn't even sexful for like almost two years, no long we were sleeping in the same bed, let me right, But because I was so disgusted it as a person like, oh my gosh, well you know what it sounds like. You guys do have a toxic relationship and have done things to each other.

And now she's yeah, I'm trying to man and listen, and I understand that, but what what Here's the thing is that she's still traumatized from whatever things in your relationship have been unresolved because she's seen these text messages. She hasn't physically caught you cheating. Have you admitted that you cheated? Man, you haven't even admitted it. And I had a whole everything, like you know what I'm saying, But have you been honest though? Have you ever been

honest about what's what you've done and what's happened? Because I think part of it, too, is that sometimes people try to not admit things and cover it up, and it's something that we can never get over if you can't even admit it, Like how are we supposed to deal with? But I need you to I understand that, but I also need you to take some responsibility and accountability as well, Like you can't just put it all

on her. This is some body you chose to be with, and you've been with for years, and even when you guys were sleeping in the bed together for two years, you still stayed. And now she's pregnant, and so on top of the fact that she already was in secure and dealing with things, she's also pregnant, So that's a whole other layer. She doesn't even understand everything that's going on where her body. Plus she's also like this is the perfect time for him to continue to do what

he was doing to me before. I'll be feeling she's a person that I feel she'll break the cassle over a tingle and then like she'll wake up tomorrow. Is like, like you know what I'm saying right For example, last night, I had a studio session port studio session. I'm tender two. I'm sure how to text message from my boss and Ola like, yo, you know yo, limb mind you, I'm

already in hot water because I'd be labeled. I know, y'all gotta be in time for now with y'all, she'd have took the cocky because she think I was about to go to your with a girl. This is what I think, because it feels like it's just too much for you right now. But you feel guilty because she's pregnant. You already had issues before she got pregnant that you haven't wrecked a so ay, she definitely needs somebody to talk to and some professional help to deal with her

anger issues. And also I'm sure her body feels crazy right now, so she needs help. But I think as people who are about to be co parents, y'all have got to get on the right track and start working towards that. Now. If that means that you guys can't be together right now, but you can support her however you can. But I do encourage you to make sure she starts getting that help now, because it's only going to get worse. A man, I don't even know how

to approach to you. What city are you in? I'm gonna do, y'all, Okay, now, yeah, you definitely need to talk to somebody, to an expert, to get some help, and she does too, So hold on, let's get your information and let's see if we can try to hook you up with somebody. I'm gonna call it doctor Jasper so that he can start getting you guys on the track.

Because I am concerned about the fact that you're bringing a child into this world together and y'all, right now, have got to learn how to work as a as a team in order to be able to raise a child the right way and be a great example and also be able to peacefully at least at the minimum, be able to peacefully copare I figure I need I need to mediated like you. Man. I wish I could have posed race. I wish I would have had over the phone when you start on, man, what maybe it

would have went different? Would win? Yeah, we don't know how that might have went. Fingers would have been going back and forth. Right, well, we'll hold on. I'm gonna get your information and we'll talk offline. All right, that's what start. That's gonna say, y'all appreciate your word. Man, that's really sorry, y'all. Oh Man, you the man, love

you kid man. All right, all right, hold on, hold on, all right, we got more ask Ye coming up one, one hundred and five and five one oh five one if you got a question for Angela's the world most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club?

So, my baby Mama and I we have not seen nine and nine for the last three or four years. My son is excelling in football this year, and she has no way of getting to the games,

to the game or to the games. Would it be you know, Adam, you know too much for me to pay for her to come, or sure, I just seeve it everything. Well, here's my thing, her going to the game. Wouldn't your son want her at the game? Well, I mean it's for him, you know, I know it make him happen, right, But for her on the back end, you know, I don't. I want to help her, but I want to make her feel like she's not capable of doing it. Or well, you said she's not capable, Well,

she's not capable. I want to make her feel any less or know anymore for her, I'll be going to show up. Yeah, Like, the reason why you want her there is not because you want to sit next to her or something. It's because your son wants her there. And that's the sacrifice that you'll be making. You want to do whatever it can for your son who's excelling at football. The last thing you wanted for him to be concerned about the fact that his mom can't come to the games, right, what so I feel like this

is something you're doing for your son. You're not necessarily doing it for her. This is a white flag that you're waving to say, Look, this is bigger than how you and I feel about each other. This is about our child, absolutely. So there's your answer. All right, Well, I appreciate it, all right, and and I hope you guys work on repairing your relationships so you can compare it together. Okay, good luck. All right. We still taking more calls and we're in the middle of ask ye. Hello, Hey,

who's this R? What's up? Rock? What's your question for? Ask Ye? I was saying, I was with this chick for like three years. I'm not with it because you live well being daddy and she like, I think take the fan like last couple of months because she staying out a little longer than you be saying that. But she always claimed that she's not with them and trying to be in a relationship with me. But I feel like it's subs it about getting a relationship with that gra.

So so for three in the past three years, you've been dating this woman. She also has been living with her. I've been the side to okay, and she has no plans in moving. I've been trying to help a move. She ain't trying to fool trying to free from our house. But I don't feel like you school them from my house from other man's house, right, And look, if that's how you feel, then this is not the person for you.

If she's not ready to move and to commit, and you want a deeper commitment than I mean, I feel like there's no negotiating that. So I should just stay as a side to you. What I mean, if that's what you want, if you don't mind that. But it feels like you have real feelings for her. Yeah, she cool. I was saying, I ain't got a little problem, but played me like, oh, we're in a relationship. Then at the end of the night, I dropped you off at your house and you're going to you and father not

knowing what's going on in there. That feel crazy to you though, Yeah, that's that's why I'm cool with being inside you, because when it's flowing out, I don't care. I'm gonna I think you listen, you do care, because that's why we're having this conversation. You do care. I ain't try this I just don't want to trying to please like I'm in a relationship, which when you're going home with another dude. Yeah, but you're treating her like you guys are in a relationship. Right, she comes over

like women. I'm not going to be women at all when I'm gonna queen. I understand that. But what I'm saying is, do you want more for yourself? Yeah? Okay, Well it doesn't seem like what you're in right now is on the path for that. And I just feel like, why not spend that time and energy on somebody that can reciprocate that that you can actually have a future with.

Why are you wasting time you so to do? Okay, yeah, I mean listen, I can't imagine what it must feel like to drop somebody who you care about off at their baby, you know, at their house that they live with another man with. So just think about that, because you could be spending your time building a future with someone, absolutely right. I appreciate. All right, no problem? All right? All right? That was asking. Ye, that's right. We do that every Wednesday and Thursday around this time. And we

Letitia Wright got injured and it's not that bad. It's serious enough that she's been taken to a hospital, but they are saying that it's minor injury. She got hurt in an incident with a stunt rig while filming a scene in Boston. They said she's expected to be released soon and that's sure he, by the way, who she plays in Black Panther. Yeah, she was amazing on that. Why the hell shooting Boston? Why Black Panther shooting in White as Boston? I don't know. Maybe it's just certain scenes.

Maybe they're just on set somewhere. Maybe they just need to close off a street and make a scene like another place. All right now. PNB Rocket has been sentenced after pleading guilty to marijuana and stolen gun charges. And he actually got sentenced to thirty six months probation for each count, and he also has to do one hundred hours of community service. So that is guilty to one count of receiving stolen property and one count of possession

with intent to deliver. The probation real run concurrently, and he's also permitted to transfer his supervision to California. This is off from a twenty eighteen investigation. So wonder what community services nowadays? It used to be like they still do that. I'm sure they do that, but I don't know what else they do, Like parks, people have to clean up the park and things like that. Because I don't see them people nor more like I don't see them on the side of the road. Cleaning up normal.

That's why Okay and Vesso, I swear Vezo. Remember he was up here on the Breakfast Club from Detroit. He revealed that he's off probation. He posted, I'm finally free.

She has that show We Got Love Tianna and Iman, and on the last episode she was discussing finding out that she had lumps in her breast, and the physician conducted a biopsy and sent out the samples, and here is what she had to say. If you watch the show. It was a lot of lumps, which is really bad. For the

most part, is most likely just milk lumps. Fou with the doctor was able to get you in AFA colsations of pregnancy. Can we to stillborn if you don't deliver the baby early, which is the reason why both on babies have come a month early. And I had a lot of issues with producing milk this pregnancy, and when it finally came, literally everything hardened up. So thankfully everything was normal, even though she had to undergo a complicated procedure.

But she did say that cancer does run in her family, so I'm sure that's a difficult and scary thing for her to have to think about. You send in Tiana in a moan and they whole family healing energy and you can watch We Got Love. That's available any time online, but I believe it comes on on Wednesdays, all right.
