M Cholomagne the gut piece. Did up planning this Thursday? Yes, it's Thursday. Good morning. We are hell, what was happening? What day of the week? Is it Sunday? Monday too? When the fifth day of the week. Okay, yes, fifth day of the week, because Sunday comes to the first day.

I don't do all that all that. Tomorrow's Friday, and that's when the weekend starts. Man, and it's Super Bowl weekend. Yes, it's definitely super Bowl weekend. I think that we have to embrace Thursday as a day of the weekend. And I'll tell you why. I can you know because weekends be feeling like thirty minute lunch breaks. So it's like, I think we have to start embracing now at the weekend. So that means tomorrow, if you got to go to work, don't give it. You all, don't give it. You all

don't give it. You all you know what coasts no Fridays. You know what I mean. I really start today, but really, when you go in tomorrow, treated as if it's just like you know, you're going in to pick something up, but he really got nothing to do. Better, you have the only way, that's the only way to truly enjoy your weekend. We'll coast to the unemployment line. You better

because we only get one full day. So if you think about it, you get a night Friday night, Friday night, and usually it's too exhalsted from working, so you don't really do nothing on Friday, and then you got all day Saturday, and then Sunday morning you might go to church. He might sleep in, he might do bedside Baptists like I do with Bishop td Jakes meaning I'm in the bed, but I'm watching on YouTube and then you're back at working Monday. That's not right. I didn't want to do

that though. You wouldn't say that to like the teachers who are in the schools with your kids. Absolutely, you wouldn't want them to come to work. I wouldn't. That's a lie. On Fridays, there was nothing like being in school when your teachers would come to school and not want to do anything though a movie on you know what I mean. Tell y'all have some creative time. Y'all talk amongst yourselves. It's Friday. Enjoy yourself. I would you would love that if I was the teacher, Especially if

I was the teacher. If you're in the airport, you wouldn't went to people there to just take their time while the line is getting longer and longer, and not care going through going through it, didn't beep into security. Nothing beat Oh, and enjoy yourself, Yes, all right, Friday's a nice day to just relax, don't you think. I mean every day is a nice day just to relaxing. Put out there like that goodness, but definitely Fridays, all right, Well,

Reverend al Sharpton will be joining us this morning. Okay, he's got a new book out. And he got a new book out. It's called Untold Stories of the Social Justice Movement in America. Right, you try to troublemaker this, right, so we're gonna kick it with up. Reverend al Sho love Rever now, all right, and he takes note he takes no days off. No, he takes no days off. Definitely takes no day True. I haven't been on vacation with Rever now. I haven't been seeing I haven't seen

Rever now longer. Probably was still working on that phone. I'm sure you're still in the gym. Take a sofiast, shout the river. Now, all right, let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and he is talking about racism in the NFL. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, and she and she and they love them some men. So I never heard that part of the morning. Everybody is from me,

Angela ye, Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning, good morning to you. Let's get in some front page news now. I believe today it's the NBA trade deadline. They've been talking a lot about. Possibly James Hall didn't go into Philly for Ben Simmons. Yeah, I saw that. That That wouldn't make no sense. That would make no sense. Oh, I mean, bro, if Ben Simmons can't deal with Philly, he's not gonna be able to do Yeah, he's not gonna be able to do with Brooklyn.

I'm talking about for Philly because it's like, you know, you get rid of that piece that is Ben Simmons, and you get James Harden, James Hardys going into free agency. I got James Harden wants to be on the East coast. Ain't no nightlife on the East coast. Okay, you come from a state in Texas where there's no taxes. Now you got to pay all this money in taxes here in New York going to be the same thing in Philly.

James don't want to be on the East coast. Yeah, but at least the Philly a will and deal Ben Simmons, who nobody knows where he wants to be. Yeah, but then your Phillies left for nothing after that? Yeah, But j Harden leading free agency. Then't what but they have nothing now with Ben Simmons at least, So you get James and try to make a push for the championship, run for the Chipman and hopefully if they do, you know, he'd be like, all right, well, I'll stay another year.

I got Joela b I got a couple of pieces around me. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know what Brooklyn does with Ben Simmons though I don't, but I don't know what Brooklyn does with Brooklyn at this point. Yeah, because if that press get on Ben Simmons as Yeah, he Philly was rough. Goodness, gracious, all right, what else we guy? Easy? Well, let's talk about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He made some remarks during the State of the League adjests leading up

to the Super Bowl. And this is all, of course, following that federal class action lawsuit that was filed last week by Brian Flores, who is the former Miami Dolphins head coach. He accused the league, along with three NFL franchises, of alleged racial discrimination. Here is what Roger Goodell had to say. Why does the NFL and its owners have such a difficult time at the highest levels hiring black people into decision making positions. We look at the same numbers.

We believe in diversity. We believe in it as a value. We believe it's made it stronger. People who come into the league who are diverse have been very successful and made us better. I think what we have to do is just continue and find and look and step back and say we're not doing a good enough job here. We need to find better solutions and better outcomes. That's all I got. That's it. Yeah, I mean the league is roughly seventy percent black players and only two black

head coaches among their thirty two franchises. Yeah. I don't know what you can do because you can't change the heart of the owners. And I don't even know if it's you know, legal, to make it mandatory that there has to be a certain amount of you know, black coaches, black offensive coordinator, defensive coordinators, assistant coaches. I don't I don't even know if that's legal. Doubt it, right. All they have now is that Rooney rule. You have to

interview the interview for it, yep. And that's about it. The enemy black people for open head coaching positions and at least one external minority candidate for a coordinator job, but that doesn't mean you have to hire them exactly. No. One thing that could help is Byron Allen, as you know, is making a bid for the Broncos. He wants to buy the Denver Broncos. That would make him the only majority owner of an NFL team. But I don't understand

is this Robert Smith. You know it's been rumored that Robert Smith wants to make a bid for the Broncos too. I don't Byron Allan and Robert Smith coming together, that makes that makes zero sense to me. Why compete with another black man to buy the team because you know one of y'all exits the other out. Don't you think I'm gonna ask you? Does it increase your chances of having a black on it if you have two people bidden, or does it decrease them? Or does it increase it

for y'all to come together. But it's like it's my business in your business. We might not see out of eye on a lot of things. But you know you you have enough money to try to purchase it. I have enough money. But you'll both want to buy the team, right, So it's like why not pull your resources come together and you know, maybe that give you a stronger chance, And it might be it might be too much mental space. Now who runs the team? Who's in control? You know,

it's I don't know. Yeah, I mean if they both can't afford it to do it, and they both want to, but maybe they didn't necessarily want a team up with each other. They shouldn't have to know, they definitely should. I think sometimes we cancel each other out when we

do things like that, but we both should. We shouldn't have might increase the chances of when it because now you have two people maybe you know that are different bids, all right, But he said that he was actually encouraged to consider NFL Friends Chilies ownership by a pair of

prominent league power players. He said, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in New England Patriots owner A. Rout a Craft came to me in November of twenty nineteen and asked me to take a good look at buying an NFL team, And after serious consideration, I strongly believe I can affectuate positive changes throughout the league and for that reason I will be making a bid for the Denver Broncos. Now, let me ask you a question. If I own the Denver Broncos right now, can I decide who I want

to sell it too? That it's gonna it's gonna make it look crazy? Um, you know, for you to turn down two black people making a bid, I mean because you can, right, we'd be like, you know what, I don't want to I don't want to sell it to either of them. I don't like the direction they want to take the team. I'll sell it to somebody else, right And I don't know how many people are making bids either, right now? I mean, so how does that work? I have no idea? Right, Well, that is news, okay,

I'm I'm acting my wage. I don't know nothing about how billionaires you know, selly teams. I can't even speculate. Even with the Charlotte hone and Charlotte bobcast, I mean, Bob Johnson had a choice to who he wanted to sell it to. Right, So the Big MJ so to Michael jo That just makes so much sense on so many different levels. Number One, Michael Jordan's black, But number one, he's the greatest basketball player. So Michael Jordan wanted to sell it. He hopefully he's sell it to another brother.

So for the league to have Michael Jordan owning the team, that's great for the NBA. That's that's that was a no brainer, all right, get it off your chests. Eight hundred five five one o five one. If you need to hit us up right now, phone lines or wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five one h five one is to breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club. Wake up, wake up, you're time to get it off your chest, your man or blacks. We want to hear

from you on a breakfast club. Hello. Who's this we want? As from Josey? Good morning everybody? Hey, good morning man. Get it off your chests, brothers. I just want to briefly address the Jim Jones incident at Gucci. Yes, and I feel he leave after later one night there or the next day he went and posted out another European establishment and I don't say you opions Leggatt, I mean as far as a high end designer European establishment. So he posted it as though it was a win, which

in actuality is not. He went from one place that didn't appreciate him or like him because of who he was didn't give him the proper or service to another place that although they did outside the confines, without establishment, it would treat him the same way. We have to learn and that cliche about going where you are I appreciated and not tolerated works in one aspect, but economically we had it doesn't apply because we have to go

and build our own infrastructures. What would have been to win if Jim would have went right He's a Harlem cat, if he would have went right over the Lenox went to Harlem habit Ashery, which has been around for decades and makes some of the best closure you can see, and said, listen, I'm at home. I just dropped twenty thousand halland habit Ashery. I helped the Blackbone business. I went where I'm not only tolerated, when where I'm loved,

and I helped them grow. We talk in our community about black generational wealth and we only look at it from an individual family aspect. But there's not going to be any sustained generational wealth without a black infrastructure. So for instance, and I'm not highlighting you three, for for instance, Mvu and Charlomagne, your great grandchildren when they're spending them money. It's probably going to be in a white community, or a white establishment, or a white environment. And that's not

a knock on them. It's because they're gonna you guys that reached a certain level economically and socially that your the circles that your kids are gonna run are not going to be necessarily the ones that you run you ran in, or predominantly black people running. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can't say something real quick. I don't say something quick. No, I want to say something real quick. You're not wrong, but I'm broke, baby, Okay, Well I ain't got no goddamn money. I would say this though, but even you

are absolutely positively wrong. I know, Charlomagne, you're not wrong. We're creating businesses for our kids to run. I know my businesses are for our community. Whether it comes to the car show, whether it comes to a lot of the other things, it's for our community. So our money

will stay in our community. And as far as Jim Jones is concerned, I can't you know say or to not, but I do know that that was a video that they were shooting five mics featuring Jim Jones and five Mics is actually a family member of mine, like a real family. They were shooting a video, and they were going from store to stores shooting a video talking about shopping. And I don't know how many stores they went to.

I think they went to about seven to ten stores, and they were just jumping in and out, so they might have went to some black establishments as well, but we only see what they posted. I don't think this, brother's wrong. And I'm not even gonna say it's a class thing, brother, because I don't know if you've ever seen that episode A trigger one in by Killer Mike, when Killer Mike did an experiment where he purposely was like, I'm not going to spend any money with for a

white establishment. Everything I spend money on the day is gonna be with black people. And he caught hell, he couldn't find any place. I'm sorry he was saying that he could. He couldn't find it. He was saying that Big Mike killer because it was everything you're trying to buy, like products to washwood, driving cars, driving cars, everything because we don't have that infrastructure. And so I guess you

guys saw the apple. But mister treated I was trying to plan as far as our infrastructure or help and same black generational wealth for all black people once we have uh infrastructure where we can go spend our money, not just banks and focus stores, but things overall where we can have a community and our money stays stays there.

Right now, if if if I became a millionaire, and even with the minds that I have, my great grandchildren are going to spend mine when I'm dead and going, those millions are going to probably end up outside of the community. Uh look at uh you name any successful

black multimillionaire billionaire. Chances are when that money is spent, it's going to be spent outside our community, not because they don't want to spend it inside our community, because we don't have when so, so I just asked that when we say generational wealth, we don't just think about our own immediate circle, because we want to be able to create generational walk for all of us. Yes, sir, we got my brother. We gotta go. But thank you man, you you you, you graated a lot of great points

this morning. King you definitely did get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent hit us up now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chests, whether you're man or blast, so we better have the same in. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? What's every what's up?

May be is lying that that that video was in the group chat last night. Oh I may be lying. Man, Why are we gonna say that Live. Nobody said that in the

group chat last Night Live. For no goddamn reason. I'm saying that like that, I'm saying said it to me. I didn't know that was Isaiah. Please? Are you saving watching a random porto? No, the resource because Charlomagne sent me something I didn't send you that that did not come from me, that came from somebody else. And then are you sure that I didn't look so, I don't know, but I have nothing to do with this. Well, we haven't sent it to me. I want you to know that. Thanks,

all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five A five one five. We got rumors on the work. Well, yeah, let's switch gars for a second and let's talk about Danny Lay's brother getting into it with the baby and a bowling alley in La. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club, Morgan's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Good morning. What's happening. Now, let's get

to the rumors. Let's talk the baby. This is the rumor Report with angela year breast, Well, the baby, baby and Danny Lay's brother Brandon Bills, got into it at a bowling alley in la. It looks like London on the Track was having a party at the bowling alley and they were all in attendance. And so just to flash you guys back, Danny Lay's brother, Brandon Bills does not like the baby because he doesn't like how the

baby treated his sister, Danny Lay. That's fair, right, And if you call Danny Lay and the baby got into you know, they got into a spattered disagreement on social media. He was live, he was saying things about her and Brandon Bills had since said that he wanted to box the baby. And here's what else he had to say on Hollywood Unlocked. This don't want to call the couse from sis. This want to disrespect my sister online for

the world to see, disrespect my family. You missed a tough guy over here beating up bitches, knocking little little little guys out here and there. You're not gonna do that to me, first off, So this is what we're gonna do. Bro. You know what I'm saying. I'm in a hospital right now. I got into car waxon. I gotta up neck I still beat your ass from my neck like this broke on. God, when you come to the West Coast, bro one on one fade to see

what happens between me and you. I want to see how much of the gangster you are, how much of a real man you are? All right? Well, they did did go to the West Coast, and well that videos from a while ago. But he did go to the West Coast, and he was at this party at the bowling alley, and he did see the baby at the bowling alley. Brandon Bills was there and there was an altercation. There's a video of it all over online and you can see it's the baby and his entourage and Brandon

Bills definitely got slammed onto the bowling alley, onto the lanes. Now, Danny Lay posted lame as hell, running up on my brother on some slippery ass floors with five or six of your boys while he's by himself and not even touching him. Lame and so sad, I prayed the steps now because this is my family and I got a daughter to raise. Sad. Now, prior to us seeing this video of the altercation, the baby had posted a picture

of himself. It could be related. It could not be related, and he put a it's changed first and where a play gets stepped on And that was the picture and the caption that he posted, and that was about nine hours ago. Here is what Brandon Bells had to say after this video was released. I want to grab you by my hair and it cash no fair ones. They kim and jumped me once I was slipping. I spoke to you like a man. I say, you'll come, let's talk one on one like some men. You want to

side me. That's a bitch, as you know, Brownie push there. My niggas grab me by my hair on that slippery ass for money thought he here nick one one person and I was by myself and I stood right there. I spoke to you, well, all you right there. I bet you that I should have been I'll been slipping. I would have been throwing. It would have been one. It would have been on for real. But the reality of the situation is, you know, when you make that kind of threat, the baby and everybody around the baby

is on alert for you. So if I'm with all my people and you approach me by yourself to me and my folks automatically think it's a threat and you might have something on you. Yeah, so I know he that's for the one on one fade, but he has to know that wouldn't be the case. You can't pick and choose the outcome of those situations. I keep telling y'all over and over. You cannot control how someone reacts to you. And I will never understand how people can say I do things and then you think you can

control a person's response. That's not how life works. Yeah, And I will say this. If you threaten me on line and then I see you in person, it's on site. And if I'm the baby, I have what a couple with me, my friends with me, everybody's on high alert, and if they see you, I mean you lucky. I'll be honest. And this is I'm not picking a side, but you come into that bowling alley by yourself, You're lucky that you were able to walk out. That's that's

God's on the truth. And I'm thinking if you're walking up that's the name Night talks so too. But that's also like, if you walk up on me and I'm with all my people and you by yourself, I have to think you got a gun on you correct. I just I mean, that's just my that would just be my mentality. And I know everybody around me mentality, but you know, I wish everybody situation. I agree with Danny Lay and that she helps. It stops now because she does have a family, they do have a child together.

And I disagree with Danny Lay when she said that he didn't get touched. I got eyes right. Okay, Well, Adele is under fire and now I have to say, this is weird. She's being accused of transphobia. And this is all because she was at the brit Awards on Tuesday. She was getting her prize for Artists of the Year, and that's a newly created category emerging the old Best Male and Best Female Artist awards, So instead of those two separate ones, there's just Artist of the Year. And

here's what she had to say, by my name. Look, it's award is training. But I'm really loved being a woman and being a female artist. I dude, I'm I'm pretty proud of us. Say I'm thank you so much. What did that? What's transphobic? What did she say? I'm missing transphobia? What is the transphobia? That's what I'm saying people were attacking her online for that woman her saying she's probably to be a woman that's transphobic, she's probably

be a woman artist. Huh. World has Yeah, I think this is too much now because the thing is too much of history of this award, you know, and you can see this is the first time they've merged these two awards together to just make it Artists of the Year. Obviously, women have a lot rougher time in the entertainment industry. So that's why I took it. I must be missing some context because I just I just felt like she

was saying she's proud to be a woman. What does that have to do with the award merging and everything else? I don't I'm so confused and transphobia, Like, I'm so confused. What does it all have to do with anything? The reason there was a best male and Best Female Artist award, Now there's just an Artist of the Year award. Okay, best artist that means you're the best artist period, correct period. Okay. So she said she was proud to and loves being

a woman and loves being a female artist. People in the audience seemed to like it, but then online people were calling her a turf. They were saying she was transphobic and that she had used her platform to call for the district action of the trans community. Can we stop listening to people online? Seriously? Man? Who are these people? Like? If there's not a face to these people? Like, if these people you know, aren't someone that you can actually

go touch and see, why are you listening to these people? Angelie? Are you probably be a woman online? Outrageous? Silly? All right, especially for stuff like that? Yeah? Are you probud to be a woman? Yeah, I'm proud of the accomplishments that I've made in this male dominated industry. And y'all do realizing life is always another side, right, Like, just because you, I guess, do something that you think is progressive and all inclusive doesn't mean the folks you're, the folks you

are racing have to like it. I guess can you say? Can she say she's proud to be a woman? Who? Ye? Man, I don't let me alone. I don't know. I don't even know what are we talking about? What you are? You probably be, all right, But I am proud to be a black human, okay? And I don't even know if I'm really human. I might be an alien. I'm okay. Well, technically we all are aliens to somebody else. So I am a proud human alien. Okay, because other people on planets,

other planets look at us something different. So I am a proud human extraterrestrial. Okay. They're protesting and I'm a superhero. Right now. You're a superhero, and I think I was teeming with growing up. So I'm proud to be all of that. Okay, I am me. You're way too little to be Team Wolfe. What are you talking about, Michael J. Fox.

Wasn't that target? I'm taller to Michael J. Told Michael J. FOXX, I'll beat you up to Michael number five feet tall and you four for nine five six five seven is correct, Michael J. Fox is hold on, let me get this typ right fast. I'm offended. He's five five. I'm offended. Short Chaman right, definitely tall, I'm taller, all right? Now? All right, we got front paced news next me and all the short people about to protest y'all outside the

radio stage. Oh boy, okay, I'm scared. Yes, Florida's story when we come back Florida, all right, we'll get to the next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. The General Insurance a quality insurance company that's been saving people money for nearly sixty years. What up, y'all? Is dj Envy and you should take a closer look at the General called eight under General, or visit the General dot com the

General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. An insurance agency. Nashville, Tennis morning. Everybody is dj Envy. Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news all right? Where were starting easy? Well, you know Super Bowl Sunday is coming up. They did a survey. They said that forty eight percent of fans would like to see the game moved to Saturday's moving forward because fourteen percent of Americans call out sick the next day. That

makes anything about that naive US. Monday off Saturdays are cool football days, but it's nothing like Sundays, man Sundays all the days for football. It just is what it is, all right now. A couple in Florida was arrested. They allegedly forced their adoptive teen son to live in a small, locked structure that was inside of their garage and they actually had the thirteen year old boy there for several years. He was uncovered by authorities. He was reported missing from

the family's home. A detective was investigating the missing person's case and they spotted that eight by eight foot structure. It had a dead boat lock and a light switched on the exterior wall. Inside of the box was a bucket, there was a mattress, and there was a camera. Now the mother said the space was used as an office and for storage. But then police found the missing son at school the following day and they learned what that

was really used for. Through several interviews with the boy, they determined that they had kept him locked up in that box since at least twenty seventeen. He was only allowed to leave to go to school. They brought him meals and he was forced to go to the bathroom in that bucket. They were charged with aggravated child abuse. That family, the Ferretters, also three other kids living inside their home and they've been placed in custody. Yeah, correct

me if I'm wrong. But when you when you adopt somebody, don't they have to come and do a wellness check. On the house and see where the kid's gonna be living and staying and all of that type of stuff. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, I'm sure they looked in the house and probably inside the house and not that structure, and you know, but really sad story. So fortunately they did manage to find him and get him out of that situation, but it

went on for years. So imagine the type of trauma that child is going to be facing from having had to deal with that. You could have just kept him an adoption, Like that's silly. Some sick people in this world, man, all right now, According to reports, Bob Saget did not die of a heart attack or a stroke. Authorities originally believed that was the case. They said, what really happened is he hit an object, possibly the headboard or something like that, but there was a bruise on the back

of his head. They said that they believe he didn't know the severity of the injury. He got under the covers, went to sleep, and they said he never woke up and he died from a brain bleed. So they said, the toxicology coort came back there was no narcotics or alcohol in his system. That was horrible. Damn the healing energy to him and his family. But they always tell you when you when you hit your head as a kid, or if you have children, if they hit their head,

you never never go to sleep. Don't go to sleep, yea, even if you're your own head, they say, don't go to sleep for a while. But clearly he didn't know how severe it was, because you know, sometimes you can hit your head and think it's not a big deal and be like, ah, that's gonna leave it, you know, absolutely, and then go to sleep. Yeah. All right, well that is your front page news, all right, all right, now when we come back, Reverend Al Sharpton will be joining us.

We're gonna kick it with reverend now, so don't move. It's to breakfast club. Go morning, the breakfast Club. How do you see j mvy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. We got a special guest in the belly keeps getting younger and younger. That's right, renew the younger again. How you doing around? I'm great? How are you doing? Blessed black and Holly favored man? But how you been doing during this COVID and in pandemic?

How's everything been with you. Everything been good. I mean, luckily I've not had any COVID and uh, most of my staff around the country has been good. So we've been we've been rolling. If they would just stop killing us, I couldn't stay home. But you know, you know, we had to fight the arm of the Aubrey case, the case of Dante right and the George Floyd trial in the middle of the COVID and do the marches in Washington, so we remained active. So I was concerned being out there,

but we had to do we had to do. They didn't stop shooting doing COVID, so we didn't stop doing what we had to do. Right now, you yeah, of course you're in your base out of New York City. There's a lot of crime going on in New York right now. How can we get ahold of the crime a little bit and kind of stop these shooting, stop these innocent kids and people getting killed. What do you think?

I mean? You know, I think that we've got to have a balance where we've got to really deal with crime, but at the same time not go overboard, where we go back into everybody as a criminal in our community. We're like stopping Frisk was Eric Adams, the new mayor. When I started National Action Network thirty years ago, we had to have five people signing in corporation. One was a black cop named Eric Adam. So I've known Eric

a long time. He's been in the House of Justice, our headquarters in Hollow five times since he was elected. And I've said to him, I've got concerns that we don't go overboard because they're talking about bringing back the playing class, so that where they thrown everybody up against the wall like you're a suspect. But at the same time, we cannot underground not be concerned with all these murders and and and looting going on. So there's got to

be community policing. You've got to make the community work with the precinct. You've got to get rid of these cops that are not conducive to that. One of the things that you are the force to police in New York to live in New York. So right now you need to have a police live in the city. You need to have them in their precincse work with the communities groups. And I'm not talking about the funding groups. I'm talking about the grassroots groups. Underground because people can

talk to people, that can relate to people. And I think that some of the community groups, those of us like Nash Action that work that fight police frutality, have got to say we've got to work with people that are responsive to us around this crime issue. I don't want to be mugged, I don't want to be robbed. I don't want to be killed by a cop or or somebody in our community that's criminal. The other thing we got to deal with is this mental health situation.

The one thing that that COVID showed is that something you've been championing, there's a lot of mental health issue and it's not caused by people. You never saw the amount of mental health people in the streets until COVID, and I think that there's been no real announcement on how we're gonna really go and deal with that. I think that that is a problem. If somebody stands on a platform at a subway and pushing somebody in front of train, that's a mental problem. It's not a criminal problem.

And you you you need to doc to that, not just lock it up. When you lock it up, if you let it out in five months or five years, they still got a problems, right. You know what you're discussing is, you know things I'm very concerned about because it does feel like we're going back to the ninety four Crime Bill days. And you know, with with Biden in office, he's a tough on crime president, I can

see that happening. I marched on Biden and Clinton in ninety four about the crime Bill, and most of the civil rights community at that time, ch'allamagne was against me, many other congressional Black Caucus members, and I said, wait a minute, y'all are gonna lock us up. They had mandatory jail time if you were caught with two vals of cracking, but you can you had discretionary time if you had cocaine. I said, well, that's the only gonna

hit us at the bottom. You can't have crack without cocaine. Find y'all hitting the big distributors and and and all a half generation of us with the jail for mandatory time or under that. Biden was who helped us shore it through for Bill Clinton. If people don't when you can't march against the Democrats, I said, watch me, and we did. And later I'll give credit Biden did come to Nash actually work about three years ago to admidity was wrong. But I mean that's after people have done

twenty thirty years. So my concern, and I've said this Eric Adams, and I say this to the black hawkers now, is that you've got Biden in now oh who had done that the past. I do not want to see them revert back. I do here city will not. But if the city start pushing him in all his politics, where we're going with how do you think that they're doing both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I think Biden got a tough hand with a fifty fifty Senate, and I think that I wish that he would have put

voting rights bill ahead of the infrastructure bill. He used his capital on the infrastructure bill. We didn't get the voting rights bill, and I think they're gonna have a challenge in the mid term elections because we voted for Biden around voting rights and George Floyd Policing Act Least brutality we've got nothing from and we've got to deal with. Yeah, it's good, infrastructure is good. I give him credit on that. Some of the things are good. He's not Donald Trump.

But the things that we wanted we've not gotten and we don't see a clear path. They need to make it clear how we do that. In terms of Kamala Harris, a vice president, if she goes too far out there, you're overshadowing the president. If you don't go far enough, what are you doing? So she's in a very precarious position. Wow, we got more with Reverend Al Sharpton. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning, pulling everybody's

DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Reverend Al Sharpton. Charlemagne, you know you got the new book Righteous Troublemakers, untold story that the social justice movement in America? What is

the book about? I wanted to come out, especially during Black History more because grown up in the movement in the North, it occurred to me that were people that I didn't know about, and clearly the public didn't know about that made real changes and they played them off to the side. And what happened was last year when we had the big march on Washington around George Floyd and in the cases. We had over tw hundred thousand people in the middle of a pandemic, and we're marching.

We're walking rather to the stage or the steps where we're gonna speak right with doctor Kingsport, Moth King the Third and me. Families of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, Aubrey Aller and were there. And there was this old man in the crowd jumping up and down with something in his hand, and the security guys around me just kept moving.

I said, women, what is that old man doing? And they said, keep moving, reven I said, no, get that old man, and they brought him over to me and he said he looked like he was in his eighties. He said, Revn, this is a button and they looked read the button. March on Washington sixty three. He said, I was here in sixty three, doctor King, and I wanted to be here with you today. And he just went back in the crowd, a couple of hundred thousand people. And I thought about it to me for a while.

I said, how many people that knew they were not gonna be in the newspaper in the morning. They knew they were not gonna be interviewed on TV tonight. These are the people take their money for un recognized reasons and made the movement work. And I wanted the profile. And most people don't know. There was a black woman arrested for refusing to give up her seat in the front of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before

Rosa Parks. They didn't make a rally around her, make a symbol out of her because they said she was too dark skinned and she was pregnant and are not married. Wow, I write about her. There was an attorney named Paulie Murray who wrote a lot of the legal work that Third Good Mass she used in the historic Brown versus the Board of Education Supreme Court case. They would not pump her up, blow out up, as we would say,

because she was a woman and gay. So I wanted to write a book about Look, these people paid dues. These people made it possible for us to get where we are, and they didn't get no limelight. And I figured where I have some shine on me? I wanted to shine it on those that I know. I know down through the years. If I had called marches and nobody came, I'm just a guy going for a walk, So it's time sometimes say driving sometimes said, wait a minute.

You know these people back here are sacrifice. I'm gonna get a little profile, but they ain't getting nothing. They're the real champions of the movement. You know, you're talking about the eighty year old man who came to yeld March and you know you're og rev So why don't I see I feel like I don't see the older and younger generations of leaders working together more that just folks that's already on your team. But like you know, the Tamika Mallory's, the Kimberly Johnson. I think I think

a lot of it. I think a lot of it is that everybody wants to make their brand, make their name and uh and I think you got to give them space. I came up generation of me was John Lewis and Jesse Jackson, and then I wanted to make my own bone. So I don't interfere with that. But I think that what has to happen is those that have traditional organizations, like I need to be working with the young people in the organizations because some of them come out of our organizations and there should be a

bond in there. I think a lot of them feel well, if I'm too much around a shopton or the head of an ACP is going to overwhelm me. They need to get their own brand, but work with other people, because this the movement going to have to be continued beyond us. I don't care who we are. We ain't gonna last forever. And I think you're right, we've got

to have that continuity or struggle. Like right now, they've got all kind of stuff out there against Black Lives Matter, and I talked to some of them and say, wait a minute, we need to know what's real was not real,

so we can stand together. I remember when about twenty years ago, Press was on me about something and Rebend Jackson called me, who was you know, like a mentor to me, but we were hadn't been talking, and he said, all I keep telling you that an oak tree can only be covered in the forest by another oak bush can't cover it because it's not tall enough. Oak trees need to cover oak trees. And that's the kind of maturity we need from both the young and the old.

The old can't hold on too long and the young can't act like they just invented the wheel. We all got to try to find a way to do what the Bible say, old folks for counselor young folks for war. I mean it sounds like you're open to giving that counsel. I'm open to give that counsel. But they're gonna they need to want the counsel. I don't need to impose it. But I'm saying, whether I give the counsel or not, they ought to be working together. And I can counsel

through our young people, you know, Tylie McMillan. I got a twenty five year old youth leader. That's great. I think all of us need to do. We gotta do. And it's not only in the movement, it's in hip hop. I mean, I was talking to a young sister at our youth We have a group and we call huddle that our young people meet every week. So I come, I don't go every week. But I was in my office one night and I said, let me show you

some stuff I'm going to press. So she was fifteen sixteen, and I said, here's a picture with me and Puffy and here's a picture with me and this. When in Uh I did Michael Jackson's funeral, she said, old, do you know any young artists, and I'm like, I'm like, okay, but to them guys fifty years old old, that just made us feel dumb old. He's like, yeah, were born in the nineteen hundred, Yeah, yeah, but that just make it sound like he's born at long. Yeah. That's right,

that's right. I was gonna ask With everything going on, I just want to opinion on some of the things. I want to start off with whoopee, Whoopie Goldberg. I mean, I think that all right. First of all, there's no doubt Hitler went after the Jews as a race. Of course, he went for the white supremacist, white arian. It was based on race. They are are the debates about or whether it's race or religion. But the challenge that you had is the Holocaust was based on race about an

area nation. Now the question, because for me in this cancel culture, is how you can suspend whoopee. But you got all kinds of maturations around Joe Rogan, So I mean, so what's the standard here? Did you feel like? I think it's based on a company. I think it's the company you were. I think it's the company. And I think it's whether or not you can put public pressure. ABC is different in terms of the corporate lineup than

than Spotify. It. What do you think about what Joe Rogan said and do you think he more should have happened? I think again, it's the company's got to deal with. I think the fact that the company's losing a lot of people. If they're gonna choose him over them, then we know who they are. And I think you know, somebody asked me, TMZ, are you calling of them to fire them? Are you going after him like years ago? You and after imus I said, they may want us

to do that. We've got to be strategic. We knew the vulnerability of CBS and NBC. Spotify is a different structure right now. We had jumped on the NFL and we had a meeting the other day with Goodell, you've got advertisers, you've got public finance. A NFL has to deal with where's your nerve point? With Spotify? Those go back to council and those of us that's been in this a while need to always tell people you got to pick the fights you can win, and all motion

ain't movement. All right. We got more with Reverend Al Sharpton when we come back don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, a Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Reverend Al Shopton. Now you said you had a meeting with Roger Goodell from the NFL. How did

that go? We had a zoom meeting. I wrote him a letter Friday, asked for a meeting, and on Monday, Mark Moreal of the Urban leg Derek Johnson, NACP Revend Barbera Skinner, and Melody Camperllon I had to meet and we told him the Rooney rule is out there. Wind it's not worked. When you look at the Belichick text message that he sent to the wrong Brian rather than

Brian Flores, you're sending it to the white Brian. He send it to Brian Florida, it shows that they were just going through the motions act like we interview the black and let it go. So you need to get rid of the Rooney rule. We need rules that deal were not rules necessarily, but we need timetable target dates, achievements, assessments,

hard calendar or anything other than that is unacceptable. I said, Now, let me tell you this Commissioner Goodell, this is not just about jumping up and down outside the stadium, which I've done. This is about all of your thirty two teams get public financing. People don't understand the taxpayers are paid for these stadiums be built. Taxpayers are paying a

lot of tax abatements. We'll go into these city councils in these cities and have them vote, because no city councilor's gonna get up there and vote against us on saying the NFL has thirty two teams, never had a black winner, a black owner. Rather, thirty two teams not only have two black coaches. So we can go to public route and we can tell your advertisers that if they advertise with you next Super Bowl, you got a problem with us, Let's sit down and talk. He said

that we're gonna have concrete beings. I don't want to. First of all, I don't want Brian Flores to be the next Colin Kaepernick. I think too many just walked over Kaepernick and didn't deal with the reality of that. Nothing should have went forward until that man has job back. We don't want that to happen to Brian Flores and Secondly, I think that we've got to go through if it's a year marker or six month marker, when do we see ownership, When do we see the amount of black coaches?

Is it legal to say, look, y'all have to have a mandatory amount of black coaches in the NFL. It's not legal if you say the number. Okay, it is legal to say that it has to be more diverse. And a city council can say there's not enough diversity for us to give public funds. They don't have to give a number, just say we can invest public funds in an entity that historically has not shown diversity. I want to go back to something you were saying about

cancel coaching. Do you think we have enough conversations around how coaching society change? Because one of my favorite books is Doctor Pernil Joseph, The Sword and the Shield. But if you read about Martin Luther King Junior back then and just you know, he didn't want women to lead, you know, lead the movement, wouldn't let women speak, you know, at raleys. Things like that, Like people would call that misogynistic, they would call a sexist. They would say, you know,

he was terrible to his wife. So in this era, they probably would want to cancel him. Yeah. So it's like, shouldn't people be allowed to grow it evolved? Shouldn't we have discussions about how culture has changed, if we to be honest, all of us has grown in event. And I think that we've got to be able to correct people without canceling them. I mean, who among us would not be canceled for anything? And I think that sometimes

we have taken it too far. I think, yes, some people ought to be totally dismissed if they do an over act that that is against the interests of the public. But if you're evolving and misspeak, if you're evolving and and and do something inadvertently that was not hate phil you can evolve. You sit down and talk about that.

And I think that they've used this in a way that I think is dangerous for President Joe Biden, right, and he's with him asking for all these different things when he was only in his campaign trail and he promised all these different things, and the fact that he's not doing that, where do we go as a people. I think the issue we're gonna have is during the midterms is that if we vote a new Senate in, and if we vote a new House in, it gives him more to work with. Now, whether we are Providen

or not, he's gonna be there another two years. His reason that he can't do a lot now is only fifty fifty. Well, if he gets more senators, then you have no excuse. If you get more consent, you have no excuse. Which is why it is vital that we get past these voting impediments that they're putting up. The Republicans had a long plan. They said that we are going to take the federal courts and the Supreme Court. They just decided that they were not going to turn

over the Alabama voting restrictions. Why because Donald Trump, with all of his imbecilic kind of actions, put three people on the Supreme Court, so you can say what you want. That's why I'm saying we all got to sit out and deal with strategy. And you mentioned a great book with Panel is that there always has got to be people that do things differently, but we've got to be

going the same place. And I think that we have got to say, if we delivered Georgia, if we delivered off Caroline, if we delivered this we expect this, that or the other, and y'all got two years to do it or you're gonna stuff in twenty four we suddenly can't go back and support people that are just outright or saying that Trump won the election. Why, what are your thoughts? You know, yesterday it was all over social media and you're on social media about the crack pipe bill.

You know that that that the president is gonna be giving away crack pipes in Thistanda. What were your thoughts on that bill that he passed yesterday and the fact that he's given that bill where we're talking about helping black people. I mean, I think again, are you trying to personify us with crack pipe? It just gives me us felt like, yeah, it just gives me an eerie feeling of going back to ninety four and I don't

want to go back there. And I think that if we start accepting that in conversation, it will then materialize in the legal community. And that's dangerous but also too it was it was the grant. Grant is for what the provision of smoking kids? You know what I mean, to help what do they call it? The safe it's basically like safe drug use to make sure they don't

spread diseases with needles and things like that. But the language and the way they spend it, I think can can It can give the wrong kind of of inference. Why do you think it's not more of an uproar over the fact that our voting ranks are being taken away. I don't understand it. I mean, we we are sitting around uh and they're stripping us one right after another,

and I think that we've got to It's funny. I was in Miami over the weekend for the anniversary of Treyvon Martin and I and I was telling the crowd at the dinner, I said, we cannot get into just going for what is trendy and not deal with the solid issues. There's nothing more solid about the voting thing. Everything you do. I meet people all the time, not just young people. People Why I'm not in the politics,

Yes you are. The clothes that you wear was approved through some agency that said that apparel's approval approval, the pooju eat. FDA had to approve it. Everything is political. The question is whether you have enough self respect that you're gonna say I'm gonna decide who's gonna make decisions

on my life. I was riding around many years ago with a brother who was from a different part of the movement than me, but we were friends, and we was riding in Atlanta, Georgia, and he said to me, you know, red, mal I don't follow the rules like y'all, no legislation like y'all. I just do my own thing. I'm black, black, black, black black. I said, then, why did you just stop for that red light? And he looked at me a laugh. I said, you follow what is going to protec? Yeah, the man that put the

red light there gave you regulations. So let's quit playing with ourselves and get down to some real basics. When you wake up every morning, how do you decide what's on the agenda for today? With so much going on, we just named a bunch, right, But then you know, we're still fighting for housing and the fact that they're not giving us loans, and the fact that the areas that we live in appraise a lot lower than other areas.

We're still fighting for cannabis, and the fact that a lot of us been arrested and locked up and spent years in prison, but not too many of us own dispensaries, not too many owned licenses. How do you decide what's the fight of the day or you know what I mean? Because it's so much going on, you gotta you gotta do what your you know, I have a staff for fifty one nationwide regional officers in six city. You gotta deal with our basic thrust in. Nash Action Network has

been dealing with racial violence and voting right. That's why Mark Morial and I worked together and then ACP and like what they call a traditional organization, everybody takes the area they have expertise in because you can't be all over the place. So if it comes up, whether police shooting or a racial killing like Aubrey, they defer to me because Nash Action Network has the staff to do that, do that and all that. If it's something about the

economic development, I defer to Mark moreal uh. You the way I always like to us say it is one year I spoke at NaN's convention and said, we gotta be like geese. If you watch geese fly, there's one geese goose out front and they's franked by everybody else and they go. The one outfront takes all of the hits all of the gnats, all of the win first, and he takes it as long as he can. Then he falls back in and another geese coming. We got to at least have geese sense. Wow, at least have

geese sense. That's a real well listen man, righteous troublemakers. Untold stories of the social justice movement in America from the Reverend how Shopton is available right now, right, Thank you for coming, brother, thank you for having me. Always good to see y'all. It's Reverendew Shopton. It's the Breakfast Club.

Comorton angela Geese on the Breakfast Club. Well, are you ready for a different kind of verses at the twenty twenty two NBA All Star Weekend, Well, Allen Iverson is going to compete, and he'll be competing against Tracy McGrady. Are you all ready to see that? That's very interesting. I'd like to see how they do it. I'm actually DJ okay okay. So it'll be their best highlights throughout their career and it'll be a live stream presentation. Now, NBA,

I already know Allen Iverson is your favorite of all time. Absolutely, shout the AI. That's two different totals, two totally different styles though. It is like when Tracy McGrady used to finish around the rim, he would finish around the rim with dunks and all of that kind of stuff. But you know, AI ball handling skills will second to none. So it's just like that's two different total styles. How do you even judge that defends what you like? You like rim action or you like boyd Hey, yeah, I

feel like just get it both all right? And Taylor Works will be the official host for the event, so I'm sure that's gonna be really dope too. I think I was doing something too. But you know, Ai, you know he crossed over? Why are you looking at me like da man? You'll start looking at me aheagee. All right, all right, you guys done. I didn't I didn't bite debate Angelie. If you notice he put that worm out there putting my mouth nowhere near that. I didn't put

no worm out there. But obviously is his handless skills he crossed over, Jordans, I think obviously, Why are you stuttering with uncomfortable? I'm making you uncomfortable? Are wow? Yes? You are all right? All right? Well, speaking of sporting events, Will Smith and Peacock have dropped there bell air super Bowl commercial spot. Listen to this now, this is a story all about how West Philadelphia day a couple of guys go up to no good on the neighborhood. What

is it now? The way they did this commercial was he got people from all over the world to join him in their own rendition of the theme song. So people submitted videos of themselves singing or performing the theme song. They cut it up and edited it for that super Bowl spot. I'm gonna get Tone one sounded amazing. Yeah, I'm gonna watch. I just don't know how I feel about darker fresh Prince, but I mean, I can't judge it until I see it, right, But I'm gonna watch

all right now. Another commercial you'll be able to see during the Super Bowl is for Squarespace and Daya Stars and that on j three thousand makes an appearance and he also does the voiceover. Listen to this. Sally sold Seashells by the Seashore, but the Seashells didn't sell somewhere, so Sally set up a seashow store on squares Things. Soon her sea show started selling. Sally with such a

sea side sensations. She also sold with swanky Seashells accessories, Seashell ceretu sessions, savory sea side snacks, even Seashell Excursions of the Sea shot Sally Sea shows were so successful she sailed into the setting sign. That's what Seashell celebrity shocks, all right. So getting ready for these super Bowls. That check was stupid. I know, to check you three thousand guy for that was stupid. Especially to get on three thousand to do something. Is he not even motivated? All right?

And Eminem is a launching a Mom's Spaghetti La pop up shop, and that's gonna be for the Super Bowl. So if you are in downtown LA, they're gonna have that there and it'll be open on well, it's open now and it stays open all the way up until Sunday, so it'll also be available on Postmates. You can order that as well. He just opened that Mom's Spaghetti location in Detroit in September of last year. I'm in Detroit

right now. It's just stopped by there, all right. And Snoop Dogg now officially owns death row records of gratulations to him, according to according to our press release, he'll be leading the brand for the coming years as its new owner, and he did emphasize how excited he is to have this great brand. He said, I'm thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value.

He owned the brand and the music are just the brand. I was curious to did he own the masters? Is the musical is just you know, the new brand? Well, I guess, um, yeah, where. I'm not sure how the whole deal works out, but I'm sure in the coming days we'll find out. But yes. Now in the meantime with Snoop Dogg, he's being sued, according to TMZ, for a sexual assault. A woman is saying that he forced

oral sex on her back in twenty thirteen. Now Snoop Dogg's representative has responded to this, and they're saying that the woman is filing this suit on the heels of the Super Bowl, hoping that she'll get a pay day from it. So, according to the woman, she says that she attended back in twenty thirteen one of Snoop shows in Anaheim, California, and Bishop don Juan, who was a longtime associated Snoops. We all know. Bishop don Juan offered

her a ride home. She said she was exhausted and fell asleep at his house and awoke at four am the next morning, and that's when the bishop removed his penis from his pants and forced his penis in her face. She also says that the bishop gave her a dress hold that to put it on so they could go to snoop studio. He said, I want to see if they'll make you the weather girl for some TV show, and she said that she's a model and a dancer.

She said she went to Snoops had a stomach ache, so she went to the bathroom and while she was on the toilet, Snoop walked in and stood with his crotch in her face and forced oral sex on her. Now, afterwards, she said, Bishop said, come on take a picture with Snoop and she said she was scared, so that's why she took the photo. And then Snoop wouldn't hire her because she refused to willingly and enthusiastical give oral sex. Now Snoop denies everything. He posted an image on his

Instagram and said that she is a gold digger. The woman wanted just a little bit under ten million dollars and that demand was rejected. According to sources, if you thought for one second day and I have no idea who they is, weren't gonna come at Doctor Dre, Snoop Dogg and Eminem the week of the Super Bowl were they doing the halftime show? You out of your damn mind.

I knew they was gonna pull up something. I thought it would be like old lyrics or something from an old interview, but they went great criminal and I'm glad they see the play because they went to Snoop's team told Snoop's team, there's an allegation and unless you pay such and such, we're gonna sue. And they thought he would settle because he didn't want the bad press for the Super Bowl. His team said no, and they sued and leaked the story. And I bet you they still

hoping he pays now to make it go away. If you can't see the player, I don't know what to tell you. All right, well that is your rumor reports. Well right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, Seonlman, who you give me your don you know It's kind of an update because I gave this person donkeys the day last year, but she just got sentenced. Mary Margaret Crooper, she's a nune. She needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have award with her.

It's the Donkey of the Death Charlomin Devil Breakfast Club. Yes, Donke here today for February. For Thursday, February, attempt goes to eighty year old Mary Margaret Crooper. She's a nune. Okay, what is it? Nine? Well, I did some research this morning, and by research I mean Google. And the nun is a woman who vows to dedicate or life to religious service. Nuns take vows that vary by faith in order, but often involved dedicating themselves to a life of poverty and chastity.

That means no money, no sex. Right. Ironically, that's most prostitutes modeled too. Okay, Some nuns devote themselves to prayer, while others, known as religious systems, serve their community by helping the poor. Teaching in schools, are providing healthcare. Nuns are not allowed to marry you. Social media are smartphones,

They can't own property, are engaging sexual relationships. Basically, nuns are like that boring ass piece of grilled chicken you eat for dinner two times a day when you're eat and clean, when you're on your workout vibes. Okay, I'm not knocking them at all. Takes a scream discipline to be a nun. But imagine doing all that, and when it's all said and done, you and Kodak black and Heaven together. Okay, and ain't no VIP once you pass those prolegates, y'all are all in the same section. Imagine.

But then again, nuns probably have so much peace. No social media, no smartphone, must be amazing for your mental and emotional health, and their pH balance has never been thrown off by a dirty penis, So it's a million benefits. I'm sure that being none, but all nuns are not created equal, okay, and Mary Margaret Cooper proves that. In fact, I would say that most nuns affronting and doing the best day can just like the rest of us. Okay. There is no such thing as perfect people. We all

fall short. And I don't knock anyone for the attempt. Just don't be a hypocrite and judged the rest of us publicly when you know you're doing the same sins, if not worse privately. Now, if you remember, I gave Mary Margaret Cooper donkey at a day last summer for doing this. Let's go to k causevs. Nine for the report please. A retired nune Tonight is now facing fraud and money laundering charges in connection with an embezzlement scheme.

Seventy nine year old Mary Crooper was the principle of Saint James Catholic School in Torrance for almost three decades. Prosecutors say she stole more than eight hundred thirty five thousand dollars in school funds, in tuition and charitable donations. Cooper is accused of using that money to pay credit card bills and lavish gambling trips to Las Vegas. She has agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and money

laundering charges. She now faces up to forty years in federal prison eight hundred and thirty plus grand to fund her gambling habit. All right, thal shalt not steal is one of the ten commandments. That's an alleged big one, guys. Okay, Moses wrote that on stone on a stone tablet. All right. I know tweets of the new stone tablets, but back in the day, it took a lot of work to get a chisel and write that in stone, thal shalt

not steal. That's seventeen characters. All right. Let that be a lesson to all you long tweeters and folks whole. Like the post long captions, less is more, all right. Now, the Bible doesn't specifically say you shouldn't gamble, but it does say money is the root of all evil, so gambling falls under that, even though the whole Bible's technically a gamble, because we break every rule the Bible tells us not to break and hope that the whole forgiveness

repeatness thing works out for us. That is a gamble. Okay, I'm saying all that to say all married and none was out here senting like the rest of us. Okay, Well she's been sentenced for those sins. Can go to Local twelve WKR stie Fordreipot Police. This was sister Mary Margaret Crooper as she headed into the Federal Court Building in downtown La last July to plead guilty to wire fraud and money laundering. Today she went back to court

to be sentenced for her crimes. The eighty year old was the longtime principal at Saint James Catholic School in Torrance. During her final decade at the school, the Fed say Crooper embezzled more than eight hundred thirty five thousand dollars. They say she used that money to support her gambling habit, take trips to Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, and Temecula, as well as to pay personal expenses. The Fed say Crooper

regularly falsified school financial records to hide her crimes. Then, in an attempt to cover up what she'd done, they say, she ordered school employees to alter records and destroy documents during an audit that exposed the theft. I think all the time, all these PPPE scams getting all right for scamming? Okay, one year in prison for an eighty year old woman. This is Mary. I'm holding up a picture of Mary

right now, this is Mary. Now that the max was forty years, all right, she ended up getting one year. Was it sympathy because she's grandma? Was it white privilege? Or was it God? Was it prowl? Was it all the other nuns coming together to prail pray for Mary? I don't want to hear nothing about those sins, those broken laws, that violation of vows, commandments, whatever you want

to call them. Mary, you made a choice, and you knew the choice you was making, Okay, you knew the choice she was making was against all of those things you stood for when you did it, and you did it for a decade, a whole decade. Mary, you're eighty now. I know you're all mature at different times, but by seventy you should have it all figured out. I'm sure you make bad decisions when you're seventy, because hey, you've

never been seventy before. But I think by seventy we should all be passed the life of crime, unless, of course, we are just criminals, okay, career criminals. But I'm not here to judge. That's God's job. All I want to say is, don't tend to be something you're not. Okay, the real you will always catch up. You can't lead two lives, and we as people have to be careful, okay, because not everything is what it seems to be, all right, and not all people are you know, what they seem

to be. Some people pretend to be the beach, but they're actually quick saying that is what Mary was. Please give Mary Margaret Kruepler the biggest. He had one year, eight hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. Yeah, she got a year in the day, stealing from the church, stealing from that school for a decade, a decade of scamming. And they want her to get the money back, right, pay the money back restitution. Oh, you ain't getting the money back, she said, you gotta get that back in blood.

I'm eighty years old and I got a year to do a year in the day. I'll be eighty one when I come home, maybe eighty two, depending on what our birthday land. Please let me ask you a question. I'm sure there's somebody out there right now. They did a PPP scam in big, big, big, big, big time. They got to right and they got a lot more time than man ever he did. Is that fair? Of course it's not fair. What do you mean, it's not right?

Of course, it's not fair. We know that. But it might have been God, you're right, might have been prayer. I doubt it. I doubt it too. I doubt it. God'll be ignoring y'all. Y'all, y'all be praying some things. Y'all pray to God for he sends the spam folder. She spends, sends to her spam folder, telling y'all that right now, all right, it isn't baby, isn't baby blue from pretty Ricky going to jail and jail right now.

I've been himself in us. I think he got yeah, maybe prayed, oh you did, yeah, or maybe somebody praying for him too. They said he got more than twenty four million dollars from that, so Lord have mercy. Oh he doing better than Mary. He definitely did better than Marry. Go all right, well, thank you for that. Donkey to day up next, ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one if you need relationship advice to any type of advice. Call ye now, it's the Breakfast

Local morning. What what what you gonna know? Baby mama issues? Sneak some words of wisdom. All up now for ask eight hundred and five VE one O five one the Breakfast Club to the relationship advice. Need personal advice, just need real advice? Call up now for asking wanting everybody is cj Envy, Angela, Ye, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for asking. Ye. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey?

What's your question for you? Hey? Angela? Okay, So I've been talking to this guy for a year and a half and he's been in really bad relationships to bad marriage and everything, but he doesn't we do everything together. He's a really sweet guy, but he doesn't like title. Like he considers me his girlfriend, but he doesn't want to say that. Oh he's got some issues. He says he's told me before, like he really needs to heal. And he's like he told me like he's he's broken before.

And he's like, but if I talk to somebody else old or like, he'll get upset. But I don't know. He doesn't talk to anybody else, but we just don't have a title. And he's acts like what's different? You know? So I'm just wondering, like is it worth the way? Is it? Like always said my town? Like what what's your open? So everything else is great, you don't think that he's doing anything else. He doesn't want to be

with anybody else. You just don't have a title. He doesn't introduce you like this is my girlfriend, right, Like I've met his family and it's just hey, y'all, this is a call, like yeah, I've met it all his friends, Like we've gone out of town, we traveled with my friends. But it's just this is this is the call of it all right? And it bothers you, it does, it does? So what is it that you want? We've gotten arguments

about it before. Um. And like he's apologized and he's like he told me like he never wants another committed like relationship like that, and so as he committed or is he not committed? That's what I'm confused about because if he's committed and he's saying he is, but then he's saying he doesn't want a committed relationship, it's confusing, right right. Um? And that that's where like where my

dealing is. So some of my girlfriends are like, you know, wait it out, and then like people are like there, y'all are to get y'all together, and I'm like, but we're not. And it feels like he's getting more complicated than it has to be. If he's not talking to anybody else, you're not You're the person he wants to be with. Everything else is amazing. It's just no title.

But he has told you that he has some trauma from his past relationships, right right, Yeah, and so being sensitive to that and this is a man that you care about. How is he dealing with that? Um? Like he's like he's into meditation and everything. Um. He talks to me about like everything, like even like on his bad days when somebody has made him upset, Like he like he's truly like like he said that, like he's like, man,

you're like my soul mate. Man, Like I like you're everything that like I've wanted, and like he he considers me like his true like best friend. Um. But like the title of a wife or a girlfriend or anything like that, like it freaks him the heck out. Yeah, do you see any evolution from when you first started dating him to now, do you feel like things are getting better? I do? I really do? Um, Like the minute I say like, hey, I have like like when am I going to meet your friend? And like I

did that? Like he did that, like the next couple of months, like why do you want you to see to your friends and family? He like, okay, no problem here you go like and it's not like a one time thing, like just to make me happy, like I've met his family more than one time. After that, you know, Um, so if whatever I have an issue with, which is what you do in a relationship, like, He's fixed it right Okay? I mean it feels like everything is commendable.

I wouldn't want you to create problems if there aren't none. But I also don't want to downplay how you feel because there's two things going on here. You know, he still has this chrauma. He's been open and honest with you about it, and he says he doesn't want to quote be committed, but he is committed. So it feels like he has some things he needs to work out and he does need to get maybe some professional help to really discuss and delve into the things that he

needs to do. You know, he says he's meditating, and you say he's meditating and everything else is amazing, but I also want to make sure that you get what you want. So what I think is that there has to be what is the end goal here? Does he plan to ever get married again? We've talked about that, like even if it's not. We just brought it up in discussion. He's like, I don't think I can. And I'm like, okay, I've been married before, you know, And I'm like, okay, well, and I know people have been.

I know you've talked about it like people could be your relationships for like fifteen years and never really truly be married legally, you know. So I'm truly okay with not ever getting married again like he's been, you know. So what is it that bothers you? Is it that you feel like you guys are in exclusive? Is it that you want him to introduce you a certain way? I think that's what it is for me. Yeah, which one um? And I want it to be like introduced

a different way? So how does he introduce you just as Nicole? Like this is hey mom, this is Nicole. Like he'll just like it's just but it's not this is my friend. He never says like, this is my friend Nicole. Y're like, this is my girl. It's just this is Nicole. Okay, listen, I would say, they're like, go ahead. They know what it is though, Like I'm sure his family knows what he's been through, right, Oh, no,

they have. That is correct, they have. Okay. It feels like you're being really patient with him and you're helping him work through his problems and his issues. And I do feel like sometimes putting pressure on somebody when they're not ready for it and they've been vocal about how they feel about something, it leaves the ball in your court as far as what you want to do, and so the ball is in your court. I do feel like if he's doing everything that you win and everything

that you need, I wouldn't give up on him. Okay, Okay, thank you so much. Okay, all right, no problem, y'all. Just keep working through it, keep having a good time, enjoying yourself. But just let him know that at some point this is something that we'll have to be addressed again when you're when he's more comfortable to discuss, come discuss. Okay, thank you so much. All right, good, all right, good luck. Ask you by eight hundred five eight five one oh

five one. If you need advice, hit it right now. It's the breakfast Club. I'm keep real some real advice with Angela ye gets ask Ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlo Migne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're in the middle of ask yee. Hello. Who's this? Hello? Hey? What's your name? Hey? My name's Nasha. How are you guys? Hey, Nasha? How are you feeling good? Good? How am my way to work? All right? What's your

question for you? So? Um, I have a really good well, I would say good business pan for me to open oblem shop. Now it's a little different. I have a lot of ideas I go into it, and I have a lot of ideas for continuous profit and stuff like that. But I work a job that's like seventy hours a week and I never really have time to like work on my business plans. So all my ideas are just in my head. So I guess my question is how

do I find time to work on my business? And also, you know, I don't have money to open a business, so I guess also that you know, how do I find investors? The way to find a business? What is your business? So my goal is to open a coffee shop. I don't want to get too much details because it has really good Okay, you know, so I don't know. I just don't know what I should do to start this business. I don't know how to start, you know,

reaching out to people to find investors and stuff like that. Well, I will say when you open a business, you know, I own a coffee shop, and one of the main things you need to think about is the location. Where are you're going to have this location so that it will be profitable. The number one reason that breaking mortar businesses fail is because of location. So make sure you do your due diligence right. This is the time for you to be planning. To make sure that you do

all the research that you need to do. Look at competing brands, other places, spaces that you like, do the research, put together a deck. But you have to create time if you want to start a business, or else it won't work. Now, is there anybody that you know that you could partner with also, or somebody that you could use as a consultant? Because I know you said you don't have money, but is there some type of equity or somebody that would be equally passionate. Yeah, my boyfriends,

we both are working on this plan. We have our own inputs or own ideas. I've written stuff down, you know. I've taken the time to write everything down, to write down all the legal questions that I may have. Because it is going to be involved with cannabis. So I live in Florida and right now it's on illegal melody. So my kind of idea is to open a place where people can maybe use their medicine and be in a chill spot, because right now in Florida, you can

only use cannabis on a property that's owned. Like I'm the owner of the property, and I say, yes, you can smoke you or you can use your medicine, then you can use it. But so it has to be a place that I can own and buy. It can't be like a rented spot. There is a lot that goes into it because I'm trying to make it into maybe in the future when it does become recreational, I'm already have my foot in the door and do some research.

There are some places like CBD coffee shops that already exist in other cities, so I would try to make sure I get to visit them. But you do have to make sure you allocate time to this because if you're just doing this in your spare time, just writing things down. There's a lot of services that they offer locally to like you can go to your Small Business Administration Services and go and Fike and take classes on how to write a business plan. You can see those

things online. But you have to get all of that together because nobody is going to invest in something if they can't understand how it's going to make a profit for them. So you have to get those numbers together. And you have to also invest because people don't want to invest in you if you don't invest in yourself. So right now you're saying you don't have the money, come up with the plan, whatever it is that you

have to do to get that money. If you have to do a go fund me, if you have to ask, you know, people in your family to help contribute, but you need to make sure you have that groundwork laid out because if you're asking someone for money to invest, they want to know what is the return of my investment, and so that means you have a lot of work to do. You're in the beginning stages of planning this out, but you have to take it seriously. I know you

said you work like seventy hours a week. Is there a way that you can spend some more time on what it is that you want to do for yourself to lessen those hours right now? To lessen the hours? No, not really, Like we're pretty short stopped, so that's why I work so much. Okay, So really just I guess, you know, waking up early, so that's my issues. So may these I wake up a little bit earlier. I can see that time and the morning to start writing.

So yes, girl, find time. If you have vacation days, you might have to take your vacation days to do that and not go on vacation. Yeah, even taking a week off to just really focus and plan out. Yes, and if you're interested, I mean I would love to send you my ideas. Maybe an email that I can send you up my ideas too. Um. I know a couple of months ago I heard you talking to somebody.

They're like, yeah, you know, sometimes people don't have a business plan ready, but maybe create a slideshow or something. So I'm willing to do that. Um, if you're willing to hear my ideas, okay, and listen. Just start small. Don't try to do too much too soon. If you can show people this can work, you know, you can actually start small and then let your idea grow because it is going to change. It's not going to be

what you think it is in the beginning. So just make sure you get in there and don't don't put yourself in over your head when it comes to overhead. Okay, all right, yeah, but send it to me, Send it through to me. Okay, I give you my email. All right, you guys have a good day. Ask ye eight hundred five A five one oh five one. Now we got rooms on the way. Yes. Why is Vogue magazine under fire? It has to do with Kim Kardashian on the cover of the latest issue. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. So Kim Kardashian is on the cover of the latest issue of Vogue, and some people have some issues. They want to know why the former editor Andre Leon Tally, who recently passed, was not featured and was not on the cover. Instead, people were posting, some Vogue isn't doing anything special for a jay Leon Tally.

So Vogue thought it was a good idea to feature Kim Kardashian on the cover of the March twenty twenty two issue and not on jay Leon Tally. Well, we know Anna Wintour truly cared for Andre right and a little sarcastic face. Oh wow, who had a problem. How do we know that's not coming though? Like, how do we know the marches whom? We know the Marches who was probably already in the work. So you do the Marches?

You when you do I special dry right, So I'm not sure if there's something special about to happen, but if there wasn't, should be now right all right now. In this interview, Kim Kardashian talks about a lot of different things. She talks about her divorce and she said her forties are about being team me. She said, for so long I did what made other people happy, and I think in the last two years I decided I'm going to make myself happy and that feels really good.

And even if that created changes and cause my divorce, I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I've chosen myself. I think it's okay to choose you always, all right now. In addition to that, Kanye shared a photo collage of that Vogue some of the pictures that were inside, and there's some pictures of the family, and so he posted, God, please bring our family back together. And that was the caption that he puts along those images from that new

Vogue cover story. Not is it me? It doesn't seem like he's more even like he wants his family to get back together, he's definitely if he has a strange way of showing it. If he does, he can't. You can't sland to your wife in public like that, you know, and then say things like you want your family back again? Oh God, I want my family back together. No, all right now. A J. Johnson has responded to people having

issues with her lip Service interview. If you didn't see it, she talked about her experience on her fiftieth birthday with two men. I believe we had now when I was with three man recording make sure you got to record in society where it'd be like three simes, two men and a women. Let two men, two men. It was like they were friends and they trade it off. It's the best fiftieth birthday, okay, and they and they trade it off, so it's never like them together together, okay.

It was like they were flip flopping me. You know, one would please me, then he passed me to the other. One would kiss me, and then he spit me around for the other. It was like a beautiful dance. Oh my god, it was like doing the salsa with two guys at the same time. Well, a lot of people weighed in after that story, and she didn't exclusive. She didn't exclusive with Baula Alert. And here's what she had to say about people being childish. It wasn't even sexual.

We were like, you know, three musketeers, as I said, we were actually really friends, and the comfort of the friendship turned intimate and sensual, just a general intimate relationship before it became sexual. When people started saying it was a train, I never said there was penetration. I never said, you know, it's like that. That mind frame is what

took over. I said in the interview. It was sensual, it was intimate, it was you know, I felt very safe, I said all that, So that don't sound like a train to me. But again, here's the other thing. Call it what you want. All I know was it was the best intimate, sensual relationship I've ever had. And if you want to call it a train, shoot, shoot, well it sounds of sexual ol lip service. But my thing is, why does she have to explain herself? What does it matter?

Would your life this is what she enjoys, nobody's judging judge free zone. Would you all please stop explaining yourself to social media? Please say what you said and let it be. Let them discuss amongst themselves. Who cares with them? Folks? Think? What are you doing for your fiftieth but aj is always very open about talking about her life and talking about experiences. She is a life therapy coach, so she probably wanted to further explain. She was good at it.

Good explanation too too. All right, now, Kendick Lamar is going to detail the making of To Pimp a Butterfly on a podcast now, and it's on the upcoming season of Spotify is the Big Hit Show podcast. So that should be exciting. And that is a Barack Obama back

Yeah, yeah, and they got the robber horses. Now, everybody that worked with the cattle were considered cow hands, but to the gray black folk they called them cowboys. But then the term cowboys went mainstream, and they have been notable black cowboys that have been

whitewashed in history. For example, the Lone Ranger. Are you familiar with the Lone Ranger. He wasn't white, he was black. His name was Bass Reeves. He had a little Native American homeboy that went with him everywhere, and he went his whole career without ever getting shot one time. Nat Lord Nat Lord was so nice with the pistols.
