You gotta be gotta be big time at lay and Charlomagne the guy the Breakfast Club, bitch you good morning usc yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo Good morning Angela Yee, good mondy danby Charlomagne the Guy. Piece to the planet is Tuesday, Yes, Tuesday, still stuck in the crib. Snow came down. I think we got seven inches of snow. Man, I ain't seen as much snow in a long time. I've been living in New York

since two thousand and six. I can't remember the last time I've seen snow like this two over two feet of snow. Bro, Bro, that's crazy. You guys are in New Jersey. I'm in Detroit, and normally Detroit has worse weather than the Tri state area, but we it hasn't been bad here now. We got about twenty seven twenty eight inches of snow. So yesterday I had to run the CVS because one of the producers asked me I had to do something. So I needed a blank CD, so I ran the CBS to go get it in

the snowstorm. It took me an hour and a half to get the CPS. Right, such thing is running out in the snow storm? Yeah, a blank CD. Yeah, it was a long story. So I went and got it. It took me an hour and a half to get there and back usually takes ten minutes. Then I realized I left my wallet at CBS, so then I had to go back out to go get it again. When I say that was like a five hour day yesterday going back and forth the CVS and the weather was disgusting.

The snow was nasty that the streets were at plowed. It was horrible outside. Yeah, I'm surprised the CVS was even open. Yeah, they closed it early at two o'clock. I mean, some people still got to go get their prescriptions and pills and medicine or whatever they needed. I just needed some blink CD. So I don't get me wrong. Snow. Snow is a beautiful thing, right, It's a beautiful thing, you know when it's falling and you know your kids are looking outside the window. And then once the lands,

it even looks pretty. But it's the aftermath, you know what I mean, having to deal with things like the clearing the driveway, digging the car out, digging the car or even know, yeah my mind, I put them on the rock, but yes, digging the car out in some cases, it's a very strenuous process after this, what I mean, And the snow, this snow right there, the snow gonna

be around for two weeks absolutely, and then gets the side. Yeah, it gets ugly, it gets it gets nasty, it gets it gets all dirtys it gets really really hard, and it's still coming down now. I'm looking out the window. Now it's still snowing. When you have to when you have to park on the street and the snow plow comes and it pushes the snow on top of your

car and you have to dig it out again. Well, Drummas just told us that his car is actually plowed in, so so now that that snow gets difficult, gets hard. So now I don't even know how Dramas is gonna get it out. He's gonna really have the day when you're gonna have to get you have to call your people's dramas and come help you get that snow that car off. Just depending on where you live. I know where I live, they always plowed to the right, So whenever I know what's gonna snow, I always park on

the left side of the street. I try to park it super early so that way I don't get cloud in. You should have told drama that drama dramas. Dramas gets plowed in all the time. You know what side you like, dramas, the right side of side when you get clouded. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Okay, we're talking about snow, man, Get your mind out. The gutter guy in. Yeah. The only people that like the snow like this is I'll be honest, my dog and

my kids. They love it. They want to go out and they want to jump out. Everybody else they like Nah, be. It is something comforting about the snow though, when it's just sitting there, saddled, when it first falls, it's something comforting about it. But not twenty seven Don't get the hell out of here that twenty seven inches, Like there's no where to put all the snow, like I've never seen it where the snow is all my window like

it It's crazy. Did you just said there's no where You just said that there's nowhere to put twenty seven inches? You just said that early in the morning. You you that was you? All right? Well, Nate Parker will be joining us this morning. Oh man, Nate have a movie out called American Skin. If you have not watched American Skin yet, and you need to watch American Skin. I've been watching some very tru movies I had. I had an early screener of Judas in The Black Messiah, Black Messiah,

Black Massire, phenomenal film. It didn't Dominique fishback in that. I don't know who. She's an amazing actor. She was um, she was in The Hate You Give. But she's been like a bunch of different movies and she's a great She's in The Deuced you know what I'm talking about she's been Brooklyn. That's why let me take a look. I think she's saying, I gotta watch that. That's a

phenomenal movie. But American Skin. American Skin is another very trauma traumatizing movie, triggering movie because of a lot of the things that we've been discussing on this radio, like yesterday when I gave donkey today to the police officers of Rochester who handcuffed and pepper sprayed that nine year old girl, and and and the reactions you would think somebody would have like if you were the parent in

that situation. It actually happens in American Skin, if you haven't seen it yet, but we'll talk about it this morning, all right. And also all my friends that live in the West Coast, that live in U down South, Miami, La, Vegas, Ya, don't you don't have to send me pictures, Like you don't have to be like, hey, how's it doing in New York and New Jersey. We know how it is in Miami, all right, we know how it is in La. We know how it is in Vegas, Atlanta. I know

you don't have to send me pictures. I get it, I honestly get it, especially if you're doing that from Florida, California, because we're covered in snow, y'all covered in COVID. All right, that's a good way to look at it. That's a good way to look at it. But let's get the show crack in front page news. What we're talking about, Well, I send you BA COVID. Let's talk about these at home COVID tests and what the plan is. The White House is putting some money to make sure you can

get tested at home. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping lockers to breakfast club morning morning. Everybody is cej Envy, Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news now. Last night NBA game, Lebron James and the Lakers took call on Atlanta Hawks, and it looks like he got into an argument with one of the fans. I don't know what. Yeah, the whole it was for them. They all got kicked out.

They were going back and forth. She said that Lebron called her a bitch, and then she started ellen and they went back and forth, but she had her mask off and they asked her to leave because she took a mask down. Why Why would those thugs harassing Lebron James. What did Lebron James do to anybody last night to be harassed by those thugs? He said they were just going back and forth and um, he said, they were just talking. Ish. We have audio. Can you play the audio?

Which audio? U the courtside? Karen quart side Karen, all right, Chris has been a Hawks fan forever, whatever he has this issue with Lebron. I don't have an issue with Lebron and don't get Lebron anyway. All of a sudden, Lebron says something to my husband. I sat up and go,

don't talk to my husband. And he looks at me and he goes, sit the down, bitch, and they go, don't call me a bitch here, sit down, get the out of here, and they go, don't talk to my husband like that, And all of a sudden, no, I'm getting kicked out. Excuse me, I have courtside seats that I paid for. Okay, well, I mean he called hers been a well the NBA will showing an argument. I didn't see Lebron say bitch one time. But here's Lebron's what Lebron said after it. I'm having fans were back

in the building. We as players need that interaction. I don't feel like it was warning to be kicked out, but they might have had a couple of drinks maybe, and they could have probably kept it going in the game. Wouldn't have been about the game no more so. Did the referees do what they had to do? And I don't, I mean, it's fine, I don't. I don't think taking

down the mask or whatever the case. Maybe at that point in time with a harmed anybody, but the people that was right next year, I wasn't close enough to her. I don't think any of my teammates's close enough to him. Maybe a couple of rest maybe now, Heckelin got to be a normal thing for Lebron at this point in his career. Right, A lot of Lebron playing in sixteen seventeen years, it's high school, like Heckelin got to be

a normal thing. I wonder if he's not used to it because they haven't had fans in the arena and so long. I want to have a level of disrespect though, if he was cursing at Lebron and saying all kinds of crazy things, and then I'm sure she started going crazy. And she starts going crazy and then and then it's been screaming out. Now you sit down. Yeah, no, it depends. But sometimes Lebron goes back and forth. We've seen Lebron go back and forth with our friend Michael tell Dad

each other. So he he goes back and forth sometimes. But it was no, so I'm sure he's heard worse. Well, they had to go. I just wonder. They're like, we don't care if you have course, I see you gotta go check it out? What else we got you? Uh? We all right at a time, all right, well, get it off your chest.

If you need to vent, hit this up now. It's the breakfast club. Go morning. This is

Let me think good morning to all of y'all. I love y'all's chune but Charlotte man, yes, man. They pissed me off every morning. Poll him up there begging for books, like, if they really want to support you, I want a book, go bad. Stop being in for books. It's not right to help

some people. But don't keep giving all your books away. You want a book, Mama, I don't purchase me listen. Okay, you know, Michelle, I have been blessed to be a New York Times bestselling author a couple of times over with black privileges, shook on anxiety, playing tricks on me. I have no problem of giving out, giving out books and and you know I love I love doctor Rita

Walker's unapologetic guy in the black mental health. Like I bought a bunch of copies of her book to giveaway because I think the information in it in regard to the mental health and the black community is that important. It is very important. But I just I think some people just taking fantasy to big to be big. It's okay, ain't you too? Now? Hello, who's this? What's up? Bro? Get it off your chest? A little time to job

for going in on black contractors. Yesterday y'all was going in on it like there's no such thing as an honest contractor. I'm a honest contractor, and I'll be going through it down here. We didn't say that a good contractor period, regardless of color. Because you have to admit,

there's a lot of contractors who are pretty shot. I'm not agree with you, but I also noticed that a lot of people who have the most problems with contractors never got worked, like if you don't understand what's involved, Like it should be transparency from the beginning, right, so you should know, like, hey, this could be this, this could be that, this could be this. You know, so you know it's always gonna cost more, not HGTV more,

but it's gonna cost more. You gotta know that. But then it's gonna cost more than the estimate you give us. It's undetermined because so many things affect so many other things, you know what I mean. I'm not no, I don't know what y'all talking about specifically, or what y'all been through specifically, but I find myself getting in the arguments with people who never honed a house one, never got no housework, no worse, no work done before too. Why that's why we look to you to give us a

pretty decent estimate because that's your specialty. And then a lot of times it goes over I would say a high percentage of times it goes over the amount of

money that you say it's gonna be. I'd rather you tell me it's gonna cost more and then it ends up costing less than the other way around, because we're budgeting, so you have to think people are putting money to the side to get this work done based off of an estimate that you gave them, and then when it comes out to be way more than that, are these

all these other extra problems? Or were calling somebody else and they say they can get it done cheaper, or are you say it's gonna get done in a certain amount of time and then we're waiting because we play for it and it doesn't. Those are all things that are difficult because people have their own plans. True indeed, true indeed, But again where the transparency comes right, all

all this should happen. But what do you what do you say to people who never who never did nothing before, don't know your job and telling you how to do your job? You know what I mean? Like things happen, and look, most of the time we're building, it's cutting pace, so the framing and all that stuff. If you don't know what the last person done, so you can only give them, you can only give them what you what

you know based off of you know. But once you open up and then you understand that and there's things that you find all the time. But the thing is

like she said, there's always time. It's time where you say, hey, I gotta I have a deadline, just especially for me if I'm flipping the house and I have a deadline and I'm trying to stick to this deadline and you got me two months over my dead line, or that's not writing and not doing things the proper way, and you're doing it to cut corners, and it really hurts me more because I got to open back up those walls. And you're talking to three people that have done this

several times. When it comes to working with contractors and doing things around the house or building houses or fixing the houses. So we have those problems at the point now where I buy my own materials and I pay the workers hourly. The most frustrating thing about dealing with a contractor is my father was a contractor. So it's certain things that a contractor can tell me that I know is bs and then I can call my pops and be like, Pops, such and such and such a

he'd be like, man, that dude is ripping you off. Yeah, I mean, but there's always somebody that's gonna say that, you know what I mean, Like, there's always somebody that's gonna be able to do it or say, what's the disconnect? And again, Black people were always skeptical of each other in general. So you know what I'm saying. I can come to you with with with two pure attensions, and things happen. And I'm telling you so you know you're looking at me like, yeah, he come to ball. You know,

I'm skeptic from all contractors. I don't care what they are, Black skeptic for all contractors. I'm get it. And the worst when the job and the job is almost done and then the contractor goes missing because they're not that concerned because they're onto the next that does happen, and I hate that does happen? People? Will you what if we treated y'all? What if we treat a contractors the

way uber drivers treat us? What you mean, huh? When they pull up and they don't give us we need an extra five minutes but they don't want to give it to us. That's not the same because you don't know that all those involved with getting that specific work done though, like especially getting it done right. Well, I appreciate your honest contractor man, And where you from this,

I'm from Jersey. I'm in Atlanta right now, though I'm doing I'm doing my own thing in Atlanta, and I've been grinding for three years out here, grinding, and trust me, the only problems I ain't gonna say the only problems, but the majority of the problems I have are from people who you know, that look like me. And that's very,

very frustrating. I'm telling people like, listen, you can go like, you can have these, you can talk to other people and you can get other but you're not gonna it's not gonna change nothing like it still has to happen. So I deal with people who want their home to be perfect, and then people who won investments and people were investments. You know, you're just cutting pacing. You make it cosmetically right. Let's do this. So let's just put your information. We can use you bro more the stories.

If you're in the Lanta Hill. At Beacon Building Services, we get stuff done. We make dirty things clean, specializing in pressure, Washington everything else. All right, what's your number so they can I can call you six seven eight three three eight seven four or five three and you can highlight me on Instagram at Beacon Solution or Facebook at Beacon Solution all that. I got it all right, however, thank get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent,

you can hit it up. We got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about silent. So he has been arrested for murdering his own cousin. Damn it man, all right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. God morning, the Breakfast Club. Listen, Oh gosh, got report, got angel And it's the Report the Breakfast Club. Well, a lot of people are watching Wendy Williams biopic were shocked to find out about Wendy Williams relationship with Eric B from Eric B and Rock Him and how he had gotten

a car. I guess he rented a car while they were together and never returned it. It. Were having some issues with that. And here is that part of the movie. Hey, can I get your car today? Oh, let's throw with yours? Okay, Well, I need it back by five so I get to work on time. I got your baby. He did not have me. I couldn't realize I was just a booty call and he was using me. But instead I rented him a car on my credit card. M Well. Eric

B has responded on social media. He posted a throwback picture of himself standing in front of a Rose Royce and said, damn, I need a rental and then he said too hilarious. I laughed too well, it made for great TV. But the truth is something different. Try that. Yeah, that was strange to me when I thought that in the movie, because I thought it was knowing that Eric B like had birds have money. Yeah, yeah, Eric from Eric B and rock him like I always thought he

had from change. So I didn't understand why he was depicted like that in the movie. But it's always two sides of every story. Eric may do a movie one day and show you something totally different. Who knows what the truth? There's always three sides. It's side, her side

and the truth. It's always three sides, And I just wanted to Yesterday I saw after Tamika metha Man's wife, released her statement about her issues with Wendy Williams, revealing her cancer diagnosis before she had told family and people were thinking that it was method man Pillow talking and telling her that it was really somebody in the hospital had leaked that information to Wendy Williams. All right, now, since we're talking about Wendy Williams, let's pivot over to

Miss Jones. Now, Miss Jones used to have a morning show in New York, and Envy, you really kind of gotta start doing mornings on the Miss Jones morning show. Correct, Yes, correct, She had a show, I believe for four years on Hot ninety seven Competitor when I was over there. So yeah, she gave me my start. She she was, of course the main person. She was the first black woman to host her own morning show, and she gave me a job.

But things did go a little left, and recently, you guys had a reunion show and it was all sparked because she saw you and Gia on Behind every Man. She was on a show called Behind every Man, and she starts talking about Envy's journey and she says the most profound thing that God knows. I needed to hear that Envy got his start and a lot of his successes because I gave him a shot on my morning show.

So I reached out to him after twelve years of not seeing him, not talking to him, and I just said, I just want to thank you and your wife for saying those things because I needed to hear it. As soon as I hit send and V text it right back and was like, you don't understand. I miss you. And we started talking and I said, stop crying because by this time I'm in tears, and I'm like, I have an idea. I want to do a reunion show. No, miss miss Jones was was tearing up and crying. We

haven't spoken twelve years, you know, was he said. She said, thing, we stopped speaking, and she's seen that. She called and when we spoke, it was just like good times, like old times. Like you know, when when the Breakfast Club first started, everybody was against us, so we were real tight, real close. And that was the same thing with Miss Jones. Everybody was against it, so we were close and tight. We'd go everywhere in my family, her family. We would

do everything together. And then twelve years you started speaking to somebody, so you know, we we caught back up, spoke to each other's kids. It was it was a great reunion. Yeah. I get it with Miss Jones. She wants her props, you know what I'm saying. She wants folks to give it up to her for things that

she accomplished in this game. That's totally understandable. And and and it's a testament to you know how far you've come envy, because I mean, if you was just some washed up DJ, she wouldn't want to claim you wouldn't. She wouldn't. She wouldn't want you to say that you got her start your start with her, you know, but a lot of people got this, A lot of people got that start. Danelle Rawlins was on there. He got his start on radio doing that show. Don't claim him.

I wouldn't claim Stephen A. Smith. Most people don't know he got to start on her show as well. At claimed Stephen a claim claims. I claimed Stephen. I claimed Stephen A an NBA followed Miss Jones. But he's more of a comedian than a radio personality. That I wouldn't say you got to start in comedy because of that show. No, not in comedy. But he definitely boost a career when when he was in New York doing radio. Definitely was Ashley Larry You and you should go pick up Miss

Jones book too. If you're a radio junkie like I am. If you're a radio guy or girl or somebody that wants to be in radio. Have you met Miss Jones? The Life and Loves of Radio most controversial de very good read. All right. We didn't get a chance to get to Silento, so we'll get to that in the next hour. But he has been charged with murdering his cousin, and Georgia will tell you the information and what his publicist is saying in the next hour. But we do

have Front Page News on the way. Yeah, what what are we talking about? Front Page News? Let's talk about coronavirus and what's going on with you COVID testing and are you going to get these stimulus checks? All right? And also with Miss Jones, she started a podcast and the first five episodes just like the Reunion show, so it's the band back together talking about what we're doing and some of the amazing shows. And then she's going to be doing her own podcasts, which I'm excited about.

I think she's gonna be great. So shout out to Miss Joe. But Front Page News is next. It's the Breakfast Club Gomotor Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front Page News. I know we've got a lot to cover, so let's get right into it, all right. President Biden and sat down with a group of ten Republican senators and they have different ideas for

what this coronavirus relief bill will look like now. Biden's plan wants to send another fourteen hundred dollars per person to eligible recipients in addition to the six hundred dollars payments that were approved by Congress in December that totals two thousand. The Republicans want to send a thousand dollars checks per adult, but target them to those with a lower income, so that would phase out at forty thousand dollars for individuals and eighty thousand for couples filing jointly,

and so not everybody would get that money. Unemployment benefits, Biden's plan would increase the federal booths for the joblests to get four hundred dollars a week from the three hundred dollars weekly enhancements. Republicans want to extended three hundred dollars a week benefit through June thirtieth and provide two billion dollars to states to improve technology when it comes

to COVID nineteen, vaccines, testing and tracing. Joe Biden wants to invest twenty billion dollars in a national vaccination program. Republicans want to provide the same amount to battle the pandemic and schools reopening. The President wants to provide one hundred and seventy billion dollars from kindergarten to twelfth grade for schools, colleges, and universities to help them reopen. Republicans want to provide twenty billion dollars to get kindergarten the

twelfth grade students back in school. Man, do y'all want to help people and not man when the money coming. That's what we need to know. I'm glad they got all the time in the world to discuss how people are going to eat, because meanwhile, everyday people are getting a businesses are closing, people can't afford the basics, or they're sitting around discussing the money they close the evictions. But you know people are still not paying their rent.

People can't pay their car. Those people can't pay electricity, water, they can't pay the landlords can't pay. Like you said, you're printing up all this money for the basics Yeah, you're printing up this money anyway, your minds will just keep printing it. Let people don't hold people damn until this is over. Yeah, I don't. They still have questions

when it comes to the big corporations. When it comes to the big corporations, it's like, look, here's the one point nine trade, and y'all gonna do what y'all gotta do. And it comes to the people, it's all of this conversation, correct, right, Well, this has to pass through and the Republicans have to be on board in order to prove this stimulus dal and they haven't improved it yet, so you know, hopefully

soon because people need that money. And if you had COVID nineteen, according to doctor Fauci, you could get reinfected, as we've been seeing, if the variants become dominant. Here is what doctor Fauci had to say. If you have these variants and they seem to be a looting the vaccine a little, should we really be getting vaccines that we should be wait for the next generation of vaccines.

The answer is, you need to get vaccinated when it becomes available, and the reason for that is that there is a fact that viruses cannot mutate if they don't replicate, and if you stop their replication by vaccinating widely, you will not get mutations. Why doctor Facci sound like a mix and Mike Tyson, Stephen Asmith, and Jesse Jackson. You must vaccinate in order for the virus to not replicate. You can catch worth viruses based on who you date. Well,

I would tell you this. My parents didn't get the vaccine last week, and I'm trying to get mine as soon as I can. I seen Budon b and his wife got the vaccine. As soon as I get the opportunity, I'm taking it. Well. Health experts have identified at least three coronavirus variants so far in the United States. They have originated. It appears in the UK, South Africa, and Brazil. So they're kind of nervous that things could get even

worse and they could be another resurgence. Now. They are saying though more Americans have now been vaccinated for COVID nineteen than infected, so they have been getting a lot of people vaccinated, and that's what they said, a milestone and a celebration. But they are warning the Super Bowl is coming up this weekend, so if you want a chair at a party or you have a little get together, make sure it's spaced out outdoor gathering or virtual watch parties.

So what they are recommending, and you do have to wear a mask if you're inside and maintain so just distancing, avoid crowded and poorly ventilated indoor spaces. Now said you said that more people have been vaccinated than have what now then been infected. So right now, they said, at least twenty six point five million people in the US have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine. And you know, twenty six point two million cases of coronavirus have been in the United States since the onset. So

now there's been more people vaccinated than infected. So we're good. No, no, we still need yeah, we still need more. I think what at least seventy percent of people to get vaccinated for her community. Well, come all, white people, y'all make up seventy six point three percent of the population. Step up, white people, let's go white people. You slacking all right, too much emphasis on the black community. White people. Let's

go go get vaccinated. And if you want to get an at home COVID test, they do have a company called a loom, and the Biden and administration announced the deal. They're giving two hundred and thirty million dollars to ramp up production of these at home COVID tests. They're around ninety five percent accurate, and they're supposed to give you your results in fifteen minutes. Yeah, I've been seeing those tests.

They actually I'm going to the Super bowlers weekend and to get and I'm not sure if it's to get into the arena the sweet that I'm going to be in. They actually ascend an at home test for everybody that's going. So I have to take it, my son has to take it, and that's before I could even get into the arena. So we'll see how accurate those things are. All right, Well that is your front page news, all right, thank you? Yea. Now when we come back, Nate Parker

will be joining us. Nate Parker has a new film called American Skin. Now, what is that about? American Skin? Man? American Skin is about how I think a lot of us would would would react in certain situations regarding the police, you know what I mean, especially when the police are doing things to your children. Like all of these conversations we have about. You know, it's only but so much I can take as a human before I react. American Skin shows you what that reaction couldn't look like. Man,

it's a great film. Okay, we'll get into that next Keeping locked Nate Parker when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, Corning. It's the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. What we have? The brother Nave park on the lines, welcome brother, what our brother? What up? What up? We got need here to talk about his new film, Man, American Skin, very very powerful film. But why the title

American Skin? First of all, well, brother, you know me man like, my whole thing is about truth, you know. And if we're gonna we're gonna talk about being citizens in this country and talk about all the all the things that come with that and this nation, the constitution, we have to ask ourselves where do we fit in, you know? And what does it mean to have American skin? When it comes to rights, when it comes to equality and equity, we have to really ask ourselves where do

we fit in in this American dream? So for me, it was what does that mean, you know, it's interesting because the way Lincoln Jefferson reacted is how I feel like most humans want to react. I don't want to give away the movie, but but what is it that keeps humans from reacting in that way? You think, let's keep it real. Most humans do react in that way.

We're the ones that don't like. Around every turn, they're throwing that this idea of peace and locking arms, but no one's really talking about how every other culture has literally fought and I mean we fought as a country for other people who have been killed in the streets, you know. So I think it's again, we just gotta be honest, bro about what it's like to be here,

what it's like to wake up. And it be a dice role when we go outside, like I'm talking to YouTube brothers and we're not and we're doing all right. But when this interview goes off, we leave it, getting our car and drive anywhere. A cock can be on a freeway going the other way and we can be down on the street and their lights on and we grab the It's post traumatic stress in our whole country. But does that ever change? I mean, that's happened to

my grandfather. Happened to my father, happens to me. You know, I got a seventeen year old like, it's his license in the next ten days, you know what I mean, it's gonna happen to him. You know, it's has that change? When does it change? Just like with the film, I think we have to reapproach how we're willing to deal with it and what we're willing to give up. You know,

we gotta keep it real. Like Antre Lour has this great quote that says, um, the master's tools will never dismantle the Master's house, right, And so many of us want to be the end and assimilated. And I don't mean to say that disparage anyone, but when you come from nothing, you want something right. But we got to recognize that we've given something up. I mean, we got

more than than we've ever had. We got we got more people in holding office to look like us than we ever had, But we also got more people getting killed in the streets, got more people in prison. So I think we gotta ask ourselves what are we willing to give up so we're not handing this legacy off to our children. I'm not okay with the fact that I got me I adopted my nephew to my whole inspiration for this film. I adopted. I have five daughters. I adopted my nephew from my sister, right, so it

was my only son. And uh, and I'm thinking, boom, he's gonna be in a great school. He's gonna have all this opportunity, and you know, I'm breaking the curse. Next thing, you know, Michael Brown face down bloating in the street. My nephew turns to me as we're watching on the news and he says, well, open, Nate, what do I do if I get pulled over by the police. He's taller than me at thirteen fourteen, dark skinned, beautiful

young man. And I'm like, damn, I just took him out of the frying pan into the fire because I'm telling him, okay, grab your phone and called me and I'll beat there. And the I'm like, don't grab the phone, don't grab your phone, nephew, put your feet down, put your hands up, make eye contact with the cops. He can see your baby face so he can see that you're not a threat. You know, whatever you do, don't

make any sound and moves. Do whatever he says, I'm thinking to myself, I'm traumatizing my nephew, right, I'm literally teaching him that everything I've ever stood for doesn't really matter, because at the end of the day, you have to literally become less than human or become whatever he is, whatever he sees you. So when you talk about your sevente year old son, I'm no longer willing to just be like, this is the way it's gonna be for me person. If we're being honest, all of us feel

this way. So I don't have the answers. The Mill movie doesn't have the answers. But I tell you what if the next fifty year is like the last fifty years, whereas you know, at least with Rodney King, the brother got beat, they got arrested. You know what I'm saying, they have to go to court nowadays, you know you did just Choe. Eric Garner was like, ah, Dad, nope, we're good. But you know what you say, we shouldn't

have to do that. And my dad is a retired police officer, and the one thing rolling up as a kid, my dad always used to say, you gotta make it hold. You can't win in the streets with the cops. But you get hold, then we could figure out how to win. But you have to make it hold. And like that was the thing. And that's what I told my kids, Like, even if they rolled, swallow your pride, make it hold. But what if you do everything right? Envy? Like that's the thing. So I think that we have to really

ask ourselves, like, all right, what does accountability look like? Right? Like what does police accountable? I mean I interviewed dozens of cops, look them in their eyes, and they said to me, you know, hey, I speak but on the condition to anonymity. I'm like, cool. I didn't have to interview any cops. I could have just been like the police, we're just gonna make sure they look like the trash

that they I didn't do that. I said, Look, if we really want to move forward, we gotta find a way to get in their heads too, right, have conversations that is inclusive of the reality of where we are right now, and then we can still have that conversation about getting home. But everything we do on high level, like we old heads now, like like anything we're doing right now is about all right. We're gonna make sure from a standpoint of accountability, that we're approaching this in

a different way. Subjugation leads of revolution, right, Lincoln Jefferson, is gonna happen if they choose the wrong the wrong person's kid, right, or the wrong person's relative. The hope is that this is like preventive, preventative measure. Well, let's expound on that. Do you think the way Lincoln Jefferson replied is an inevitable response to police brutality? It is everywhere else. Subjugation leads of revolution. Like, that's real, that's and I'm not making it up. I'm not saying go

out in the streets and do anything. I'm not saying become Lincoln Jefferson. I'm just saying, at some point we got to ask ourselves, like where's the line? You know, I don't want to lose my children, and I ain't no killer. I just don't want to lose my children. So I think, is Lincoln Jefferson among us? Yeah? Is there a way around it? I really do believe there is, but we first need honest conversation. How police officers reacted to this film very positively, it pieve it or not.

We had a chance to screen the film in Upstate New York at the Center for Police Equity for some police trainers. And you know, it was a scary thing because I don't I'm not apologetic, Like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go and stand in front of cops and say chow to meet and spit out the bones. You know. If it anything you don't like, I'm not that dude. I'm like, this is what it is. This is how we feel, you know, so watch it if you don't like it, cool, I'm out. But the response was, Yo,

we can use this for training. So I think there is a conversation we had from so many different perspectives, right that'll deal with the double standards we're dealing when it comes to police and when it comes to how we're handled. So I think there's a conversation that we

had by police. Yes, I think there are conversations to be had in our community about about how we are approaching it, what we're willing to do, being able to close the door, like we can't forget, like what we're doing right now was used to be illegal not too

long ago. Like we couldn't have a conversation unapologetically talking about what we want to talk about without a white person being present, kind of overseeing what we were saying and how so I think that there are a lot of things that can that need to be done, but the first step is just being honest about where we're at a right, We got more with Nate Parker when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, co

Money Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking in with Nate Parker. He had movie out American Skin. And when do you have those conversations? You say, you have five daughters and a nephew that you adopted. You said he about thirteen, So what age do you start having those conversations? You know, I think every kid is different.

But as you don't want to scare your kids either, You're like, you don't want them every time they see a you know, a police officer or a cop car they crying, you know, I mean, but you want to tell them so if they ever get into a situation, it's already pre programmed what to do, what to say to make sure that they you know, they're good, right, But but it's really symptomatic of other issues, like like, what we're really talking about is white supremacy and systemic

racism and institutional racism. Like it's no different than me telling my nephew or my daughter at at ten at some point, and I've had those conversations with my girls, like you call your skin, someone's gonna maybe call you this,

Like you got to be ready for that. In the same way that other communities that have endured genocides talk to their children at very young ages about what they should and should not tolerate, we should be open to those conversations like what's more scary, right my seven year old daughter me having to talk to her about either police brutality or racism or tell her about it and her be scared about it at first but can identify it when it's coming from her classmates or her teachers,

or to not tell her anything and she come home one day like wait, what does this mean? And why did they say that? And why do I feel this way? So I think that we have to be more open to expose our kids and things that might be hurtful in the beginning, but empower them to know how to deal with it. Because most people even the people that

are spewing the ignorance are ignorant themselves. But you know, when you confront that early, I think you position your kids to be able to develop not only an understanding, but an offense. Why do I wonder why? And you know, I think about this when we watch we watch the police off to slam the young girl to the ground last week unconscious. You know, yesterday police in Rochester handcuffed the nine year old girl Pepper's Brayder. Why do you

think police officers don't see themselves in others? Well, because they don't see us as them It's like the whole idea. How how people treat their dogs in the United States of America, right, like the dog is like a person. When you go to other cultures, they eat dogs, That's what they do. If you see a human like an animal, then you're treating it like an animal. Is not even in the same universe of you seeing yourself in them because you don't see them as human, you know, And

I think that that is a stemmic. You know, when I talk to these police officers, you know, one police officer in particular told me said, look, Nate, he said, when I come to your neighborhood or can I come to the neighborhood And I say that it's administrative policing. How you doing, sir, How you doing, ma'am? Can I please thank you very much, have a nice day, he said, when we go to the jungle, and he said that, he was like, they hate us. It's get the guy

to cut the the courage right now. He says, it's it's it's just the way it is. And I asked him. I was like, wow, that's interesting, criminal police versus a minister of policing. I said, is that in the handbook? He's like, na, it's like what you mean. He was like, when everyone just knows, it's like what you mean? And when he says it's just the way, it's just the way it is. Yeah, whatever that book it is that officers keep talking about, and I keep hearing them say

that's what they did it by the book. They did it by the book. That book is making them sociopaths. Do you think do you think cops put on the uniform and just automatically become sociopaths. I think this the second you say I want to be a part of a system that brutalizes subject gates, marginalizes, and controls and intimidates people. Regardless of what color you are. The second you step into that paradigm, whether you like it or not,

you're gonna become a part of that. So I think that they are well intentioned men and women that have gone into law enforcements saying, look, this is how it's gonna be. I'm gonna fix things. I'm gonna be the person that fix things. I'm gonna make sure And I do believe there are people that have told that line and been able to make it through. But the majority of people that become engaged in these type of systems that just by virtue of their existence, are corrupt when

it comes to how they dehumanize or treat people. It's unavoidable. Some of the worst videos I saw in my research are brothers and Latino brothers with the baton hitting people, breaking legs, trying to prove that they're brothers with the You know, I think it's systemic, and I think that's another thing we got to think about, Like, yo, look, if a cop kill someone, right, we want justice? All right,

cool that cop is fired. I don't know if we should just be happy because if the company is creating widgets, and the widgets are killing black people. Destroying the widgets doesn't stop the company from creating the widgets. Right, we gotta find a way to say, Okay, obviously there's something wrong with this institution, and we can't be okay with the fact that it just hasn't happened to us yet. You know, Lincoln Jefferson, I love that name. I know

it's from science. In that name, why that name, Lincoln Jefferson one is is a call to our desperation to kind of to fit in in society and to try to accept and walk in this American dream. Right. I've met so many people, black folks who are proudly named after people who aren't necessarily for us. This is a man is not only a veteran who has served his time, who has come home and things haven't been right, because there's a lot of veterans and a lot of us

has a history. A lot of my uncles and aunt's army military comeback and they struggling like they never left. We talk about Lincoln in the same way we talk about King, right, because there's there's two Lincoln's right, there's Lincoln Freed the slave, and there's I have a dream king, right, but we ignore the Lincoln who in the Lincolns Douglas rebates, was like, nah, I don't think black people are equal.

And Jefferson, come on, Thomas Jefferson, his relationship with his property, and and the fact that when he died he was like, nah, keep them locked up. So I wanted to give a name that was was was a call back to our desperation as a people to be seen as as Americans, to our own detriment. Yeah, I know how this film is probably will resonate with black people. How do you want it to resonate with white folks in others who

don't who don't live our existence if you even care. Yeah, well that's the thing, right, Like I think, as I said before, first, I think our voices have to be elevated the way the country is designed, you know, with respector who has power. A lot of times our voice don't get to the masses. It's like, you know, there's I'm not gonna give away the film, but there is a line where the guy basically says, the world needs

to see what's happening, you know what I mean. So by us understanding our condition or by us elevating our voices. If nothing else, if only the continent, if only it resonates only they say, all right, Nick, the only people that's gonna resonate with people look like you in the United States of America and people that look like you on the continent. And you can't you know whatever, like

black people, African people, Africa sent all over. If that was it and they drew a line and I couldn't do anything about it, I would be I would be like, Okay, the reality is, we have media, we have digit we have zooms, we have so when when when the white friends call us and jip George Floyd? Oh my god,

what can I do to help? You? Know what you can do watch this film and talk to your kids about racism and white supremacy and privilege, and you know what, don't be afraid to draw the parallels between the double standard and policing that we see in this film and what we see saw at the Capitol. I think if the best thing that people are not in our community can do is confront racism white supremacy the same way that we're having the front confront racism and white supremacy.

And guess what, even if you don't, you don't have to go out and find a random black person at a at a Starbucks and say, oh, can I have a hug? Like that don't help. It's like, really, you gotta address your internalized white supremacy. You gotta address it. You gotta speak out about institutional racist or racism you see in your kids private school and the barriers to entry when it comes to us trying to get a

proper education for our kids. You gotta speak out about the double standards when it comes to sentencing and bail reform. I do think white people need to see the film. I do. I do think cops are gonna see this. I don't think they're gonna tell people, but I think they're gonna be some cops they push that push that play button or Amazon Pride because they hear about it, and I think at the end of it, whether whatever they feel, they'll know that there was truth in it,

and they'll know that there was a desire to gain understanding. Unapologetically. I don't move. We got more with Nate Parker. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Nate Parker. He's here. He has a new movie out called American Skin. Charlomagne, I want to go back to the military thing real quick, like,

because you know Lincoln Jefferson is a military event. What are your thoughts on black people joining the military to fight for a country that doesn't fight for us. It's it's an interesting question. It comes up a lot. You know, I only speak personally to what to what I think. First of all, I'll never disparage anyone that looks like

me publicly for any reason. I think that's some conversations had to be adding in private, anything that I feel from a negative standpoint about what black people should it should not do, I think it's for it's for a different company. But I will say this, this is as much our country, if not more than any other people walking around, not just because we fought, but because bonsible for the freedom in this country, right like we fought

in every single war. Specifically, you look at like red tails like if it wasn't for the tuskey, Yeah, man, I don't know if we went because We went from losing some crazy number like eighty percent of all bombers to losing zero in combat. You know what I mean. It's I don't think our contribution is a small one. It's not a participation award. We were MVP in all

the wars. You know what I'm saying. Civil War MVPs Lincoln knew what time it was Frederick Dougins when he went to him and said, Yo, you gotta let us fight. It's because we were losing, you know what I'm stand So, I think that I honor all the people that look like me have had that fought for this country, but I would say they fought for their country. We built the country. We continue to build it. We build it with brick and mortar, We build it with culture appropriated

or not, it's still hours. We still build it. This radio show is more important than any other, in my opinion, mainstream media outlet that exists. And I'm not saying that to to be negative or create controversy. God knows, I'm

not trying to do that. I'm saying it to say when it comes to my experience, when it comes to asking questions like how do we feel about our veterans that look like us, that go as we speak on other on other soil, as they're hearing about you know, brothers and s Brianna Taylor, and they're healing it, hearing about all the all the killings, and still got to wake up, look at that watch clean that weapon, and go out in and march and look for someone to

to to make sure that that they're doing they're supposed to do. I think that this country is ours. I think we've earned it. We've earned every step we take, every every I still because you know, as Baldwin says, we have the right to hold it, this country accountable. You know, it's funny. I was, you know, talking to my dad and of course he was in the military, and I asked him why, well, you know why, and his whole thing was there was no jobs. He was like, I couldn't get a job. I had the main I

had two sisters. My father wasn't in my life. I had to support my mother, so I had to do it. And he said, but joining the military wasn't a problem, he said. When I came back home, he said, I think it, I'd be you know, a military vet. You know, I just did my four years in military, I get a job, he said. I couldn't find a job. He said. I went from military to fixing cars at a car out, and he said, there was nobody that would give me a job. He said, So the only job that I had,

he said, I took. He said, I did with all black people did back then. I took the sanitation test. I took the post office test, and the police officer tests. He said. The police officer tests was the one that came back to first, he says, and I needed a job, and I just feel like we don't take care of ourt vets in this country, like our vets come home. You see him on the side of the road twenty five said, for food. You know, they don't have a place to stay, they don't have no It's horrible the

way we treat our own. That's why you can't tell me. You can't tell me anything about being a patriot based off the way we our ventures at all. And guess what we're allowed to say that the problem is we're not having those conversations publicly and holding people accountable to those conversations and answers. I guess, I guess this is my final question. Do you do you think police brutality would still be as much of an much of an issue as it is if if people responded to the

injustice the way Lincoln Jefferson did an American skin. Now you gotta watch American skin. I mean, I'm with you to be totally honest, because I don't I don't have any answers. And as you said, after a while, with subjugation becomes revolution, it's only a matter of time. And guess what, it's okay like the status quote or I'll say that make us feel bad for what's happening to us, and make us feel bad for being frustrated and being out of options, and even entertaining the idea that things

an option. You know what I'm saying, Like that's wrong. We need to be able to have all kinds of conversation about protecting our children, because the children are not fine in this country, ours aren't. Keeping them alive is one thing, but even think about it like this, our brother, if our brother Michael Brown lives, then they lock him up for the same thing. If the God would have shot me, wouldn't have died. They threw the book out,

So there's police killing. But then there's just walking and breathing. We're being miseducated, like in the ways that it's criminal. Like if you can't afford a proper education, you're doomed. Everyone knows that. And so what do we do. We're not gonna play Russians, let with our kids. So all of our kids on, you know, and be I'm sure your kids got the best education. My kids getting the best. So you're in a situation where you're like, I'm not

gonna put them in the worst schools to prove a point. Again, I don't have all the answers. I wish I had more, but you know, all of us are trying to figure this thing out. This film is just a critique which has more questions than it answers. You know what I mean. I'm no, you know, no hero, I'm no. I'm just an artist, man, just trying to reflect the times in a way that makes us have conversations like this so our our listeners, our audience can approach this thing a

little differently. Absolutely well banking, man. It was early out there man, for y'all. Anything American Skin is a must watch, man. I'm not gonna lie. Um. I watched the Jeet with the Judas in The Black Messiah and then American Skin. It's not a good combination, two great movies. But you will be triggered as a black person in America in a good way. Though, you will be triggered. Don't want to do something. That's it. Well, thank you, brother, we

appreciate you again. Reckless Club, good mother, thank you brother. Morning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast Club. I don't know about you, Charlomagne. But the kids are up. They are in class that virtually learning right now because of the snowstorm. And it's gonna be a long one today. Brouh. My five year old don't have school today. I don't know the KIDSI school for you, Yeah, they got they got them more

virtually learning today. It sucks for them because usually they'd have the day off because of the snow. But anyway, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Cardi B. This is the Rumor Report with Angela. All right, well, get ready for some new music from Cardi B. She has announced on social media my new single up drops this Friday.

Let's go and there's some artwork with it too, So she already has whopped that was triple platinum, that came out back in August, and now she's got a new single coming out on Friday, Okay, And I'm sure, I'm sure it'll be some visuals to go along with that. And I'm positive it'll be some visuals to go along with that. That's all Cardi operation. Yeah, absolutely, all right now, Silento,

you guys remember they'll watch me with watch me na. Well, he was arrested yesterday for allegedly murdering his cousin, Frederick Rooks. After an investigation, they found him shot to death in the street on January twenty first. They found eight bullet casings on the scene. They didn't have a clear motive behind the shooting, but they said they obtained some ring camera footage from homes in the area which captured at least one gun shot and several vehicles fleeing the scene.

And right now Silento has been arrested. He's being held into cal County jail and that he's being charged with a murder. Wow. I saw one of Silento's business partners. I didn't read the whole thing, but he posted yesterday that Silento has been dealing with mental health issues for a while. Now. Yeah, we can see that he got arrested for domestic violence. I think in the last couple

of months. Also, he was doing like one forty in his car I think a month ago, and I mean yeeks right, well, as publicists posted a police send my clients Silento some positive vibrations. Over the past several years, Ricky has been suffering immensely from a series of mental health illnesses. We will continue in his efforts of treatment, but we ask in the meantime the public uplift him and his family an immediate prayer and positive energy. Yeah, you remember when he came to do an interview and

he was late. You remember that, Yes, I do, and what do we do? And we told him, we told him that we'll get him on the next single. The next single never came. Now, next single never came, The next single never came, all right. Alexandria Alcasio Cortez says that she is a survivor of sexual assault, and she discussed this also while describing the trauma of what happened at the Capitol. Now, she talks about what happened at the Capitol that day. I immediately realized that I shouldn't

have gone into the bathroom. I should have jumped in the closet, and so I opened the door, when all of a sudden, I hear that whoever was trying to get inside got into my office. And then I just start to hear these yells where is she? And this was the moment where I thought everything was over. I mean I thought I was going to die. I have

never been quieter in my entire life. Well, so she did talk about also being a survivor of sexual assault in the charm that comes with this, and she didn't even think she could trust the Capitol Police at that point. And then all of a sudden, I hear, hey, it's okay, come out, and I come out, and this man is a Capitol police officer. But then it didn't feel right because he was looking at me with a tremendous amount of anger and things weren't adding up. He wasn't yelling

like this is Capitol police, this is Capitol police. And I talked to g my legislative director, after the fact, and he said, no, I didn't know if he was there to help us or hurt us either. That's crazy. Now in addition to this, she I get it. She has something to say to everybody that is telling her she should just move on. And you know, she says

that they're using the same tactics as abusers. These folks who tell us to move on, that we should forget what's happened, or even telling us to apologize, these are the same tactics of abusers. And I'm a survivor of sexual assault, and I haven't told many people that in my life, but when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other. Hey man, I don't I don't know if you can ever truly heal your trauma. It sounds good to say what I don't know, because you never

know what's going to trigger you. Just when you think something is healed inside of you, it's a situation that sets you off and re traumatizes you all over again. So I think life is a process of constantly letting the same trauma go. I mean, that's some conversations I've been having with my therapist lately, and you know, my homegirl, Debbie Brown, you know, just just different people. I know that practice mindfulness. I've been having that conversation, like, do

you ever truly heal from trauma because I don't know. No, I don't think you really do no way right, I'm sure think trigger too. Yeah, all right, well that is your rumor report. All right, thank you miss here Charlemagne. Who are giving that donkey too? Oh man, I need court Sidecaren to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a world with her. Her name is actually Julie Anna Carlos Chris and Juliana Carlos. Her and her husband need to come to the front of

the congregation. We'd like to have a world with him this morning. All right, we'll get into that next keeping lock this to breakfast club. Good mornings. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the day. I'm a big boy. I could take it to be I feel I deserve. It ain't no big deal, I know, Charlotte Mini gut gonds some funny sad mouth. I gotta say something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I need who's getting that donkey that donkeys that

don't don't don't don't donkey other day? Right there the breakfast club, bitches, you can call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean, no harm yees donk here today for Tuesday, February second goes to Chris and Juliana Carlos Sodium warning the Mayonnaids is heavy on this story. Okay, FYI, I made some tuna yesterday, and I was so proud of myself because I used just enough mayonnaise, one forkful and a single cana tuna which some old bass seasoning,

pepper and garlic, salt, yum meat. Okay, we was in business, you feel me. I mean that one foulkful of Mannaids made the tuna the right color and everything. And that's the thing about maynonnaise. I don't dislike mandaise, it's just that too much of it on anything ruins whatever that thing is. Okay, you can ruin up a potato salad are some tuna if you apply too much goddamn band as. There you go. I was waiting for a dropmost and that's exactly what happened last night at State Farm Arena. Okay.

See it's Atlanta. We all know Atlanta is on phase one seventy three when it comes to reopening the city. What is COVID to Atlanta Atlanta really might be Wakanda because they act like it's a force field covering the

whole city that's keeping COVID out. But one simple look at CDC statistics will tell you otherwise, because as of Monday, seven hundred and forty nine thousand, eight hundred and sixty seven Georgians have tested positive for COVID nineteen since the pandemic started last March, and the total of twelve thousand, five hundred and seventy have died in connection with the virus. In nineteen cases of a COVID nineteen variant first discovered

in the United Kingdom has been found in Georgia. Okay, so don't let the picks and videos on IG fool you. COVID is very real in Atlanta, and last night was the first night I saw folks in Georgia. Folks in Atlanta take any type of COVID nineteen protocol serious and rightfully so, because last night Lebron James was attacked by

a group of thucks. Okay, I don't know if they were members of Vanilla Isis or not, but it seemed to me that one of them took their mask off, aimed at Lebron James and just beginning to curse him out for no reason, which can only be described in this climate as biological warfare. We don't know what her COVID status was or is. Maybe she's positive, maybe she's negative, Maybe it's Mabeline. I don't know. All I know is if they want you to wear a mask in a

building is for a reason. And when you decide to become a maskless heckler and purposely take your mask off Julianna Carlos in order to talk in the direction of Lebron James, that can only be considered one thing during a pandemic germ warfare. Now what happened. It was late in the fourth quarter. The game had to be stopped because the devil that is Duke's Manna is in the form of Chris and Julianna Carlos got into it with a man who's got a Bible named after him, Lebron James.

Listening to some of it, We've got a lot of jawing going on the front row and look at that. And now the security is getting involved, and the security is actually, i mean the referees are actually telling the security they may want to usher somebody out of the building. They might be gone. I think this was happening. Also, somebody was all over Lebron. They're still I think that's what it is a few minutes ago, and I know

he was glaring into the seats. Wow. But she's pointing like that one meme with the Lady of the cat. That is the most accurate description of this woman. Okay, that that is what I saw when I saw that pale, privileged, unseasoned piece of poultry standing there with the mass dangling off her chin, pointing at Lebron. That's exactly what I thought about, that white woman pointing and screaming at that cat. Now, Juliana went on live last night. They explain what happened.

There's a few parts to this. Let me see what I want to hear. Um, let's let's let's hear the first part. Kicked out of the game. Husband, this is such a listen. Let me tell you, Lebron James looked at my husband during the game and custom out And I stood up and I go, don't it. Will talk to my husband. Talk to my husband one more time. Le will you up? And you started finding shut your mouth, un bet, and I go, you shut your mouth. Fitch, whoa number one? If a fan heckle is a player,

a player? Can Hecko back? What I want to know? Juliana? If Lebron and your husband were going back and forth, do you realize you escalated the situation if you indeed stood up and told him, talk to my husband one more time, I will f you up. Did I hear that right? Did she say that? Can you play that part? Drum? Talk to my husband one more time? Level you up? Geezh, talk to my husband one more time. I will f

you up. You were at State Farm Arena and immediately chose violence, Julianna, I will f you up as a call to arms. Okay, that right there means I need to prepare for confrontation. I need to defend myself against the potential takeover. Telling me I will f you up means I need to get ready for combat. Word to Reggio, say combat Jack forever now, Juliana explained first, and let's listen. Chris has been a Hawks fan forever. Whatever he has this issue with Lebron, I don't have an issue with Lebron.

I don't Lebron anyway. All of a sudden, Lebron says something to my husband. I sat up and go, don't talk to my husband. And he looks at me and he goes, sit the down, bitch, and they go, don't call me a bit here, sit down, get the out of here, and they go, don't talk to my husband like that, And all of a sudden, now I'm getting kicked out. Excuse me. I have court sight seats that I pay for. See, Julianna talks too much. Yeah, she just admitted. She just admitted to a targeted attack. You

just said Chris doesn't like Lebron. Lebron. I'm sure it doesn't even know Chris. So Chris went there with the intent to wage biological warfare on Lebron, and you, Juliana, are the germ that he used to attack. Oh, this is bigger than Nino brown baby. In fact, there is no brown in it. This is a great war White Walkers versus the King. Now, Juliana, you said Lebron called you a bitch. Okay, let's let's listen to that one part. He look, she said Lebron told her to sit the

f down, bitch. Okay, just like the woman on the meme arguing with the cat, you're hearing what you want to hear, Juliana, Lebron didn't tell you to sit the f down, bitch. He said to you why you got your mask down in this bitch, which is a damn good question. Juliana. See, fans like you are gonna make it bad for everyone else. If you can't follow proper COVID protocol, then maybe, just maybe it's too much of

a risk to let fans attend the games. Just when you think you're getting back to some sense of normalcy, here goes Juliana bringing attention to her lip injections by in her mouth and doing what historically white women have done when they have interactions with big black men, playing the victim after they started the problem. That's why Mmettel got killed. It was the catalyst for black Wall screen

getting destroyed in the late eighteen hundred. Claims that black men, you know, had done things they didn't do on white women were frequently cited to justify their lynches. So we don't take it lightly when you start flapping your kylleague Jenna lip kids to accuse black men are doing and saying things they didn't say. Because it's a lot of generational trauma that goes along whip fact. Please let Chelsea Handler give Chris and Juliana Carlos the biggest he haw

he haw. That is way too much. Dan Mann is all right, well, thank you for that. Let's open up the phone lines. I know we ain't got much time, so let's get right to an eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. When is the last time you ran into a carrac hunt? When is the last time you got a situation with a carrot? All right? Call us up right now. We'll talk about it when

we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Go morning in right now at your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic breaking down five five one five one to Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us, we're asking when is the last time you ran into a karen right that This comes from Charlomagne's Donkey of the day who he gave donkey too? Who? What's her name? Chris and Julianna Carlos. They were the two people who

were heckling Lebron James last night. They actually waged during warfare on Lebron James. Because Julianna took her mask off to talk to Lebron. We don't know if she has COVID and not, so as far as I'm concerned, I was biological warfare. All right, Well, we're asking eight hundred five a five one on five one, when's the last time you ran into a Karen? And I started off for myself. I was with mine. Well let me not say bite gang because I know people here gang they

think of negative. So me and my crew we are riding up, you know, up to Nayak. And we were riding and we went out to this little town and when we were there, it was me. Now, everybody that rides his professionals like professionals. I was riding with John, who owns a NASCAR driving team. I was riding with my manager, June. I was riding with Duro, and there was a bunch of professionals, really good brothers. That's really really getting it. But we like to ride to stay

in shape. We want to make sure we're healthy, we want to make sure that we can live to see our kids, our grandkids, and we do it all together. So as we were riding in this town, this white lady yells out of her carte. So we said, we hate you back and total SMD and you know a couple of other things. But that was the last time I ran into a Karen. I've been carrying free the last couple of months. What about yourself, Charlomagne. You know, luckily I haven't had a lot of run ins with

Karen's in my life. I think it's because I grew up in South Carolina, so I tend to avoid unnecessary interactions with white women. Okay, even with your daughter, with your daughter doing cheerlead and something, they run into a karena, a cheerleader competition, anything like that, you know. But also, you know I have I have enough historical information in my brain to know that there's certain situations I'm not putting myself in. You know. Sadly, this is things that

black black men have to think about. If I'm at an elevator, right and it's like, you know, a couple of white women in the elevator, I probably won't get on the elevator with them the one just because yeah, I'll just take the next one, just because I want to avoid any unnecessary interaction, you know what I mean? Because just like I was talking about earlier during Donkey or the day you know, throughout the eighteen hundreds, you know, claimed that black men had done things the white women

that they didn't do. We're frequently cited to justify that lynching. So maybe that's just the generational trauma of my ancestors inside of me telling me to avoid you know, uh, certain interactions. Okay, what about you last time you went into a Karen Um. I was on a flight and this woman was going crazy because I guess you know, on Delta, they don't let you sit next to anybody the way they have the seating, and I was in

my seat. I was in my seat, and she got on the plane and she was like going crazy, like, oh my god, they had me sitting next to someone. And she was complaining and she was like, I don't know why this would happen. I know, we're not supposed and I was just being quiet. She was actually in the wrong seat, but she was asking them to check my ticket, like, well, you should check her ticket and see if she's in the right seat, Like I was Nope. I just sat there because I was waiting for somebody

to say something to me. But no one said anything, and I just was watching her go crazy, and then she was like, oh, I'm in actually in row three, that's the r Okay, I'm sorry, No, check your ticket first. Sorry. Well, let's go to the phone. Ones eight dreat five eight five one oh five one. Hello, who's this Brooklyn? Oh my god, I just have to say I love each and every one of you. Sholotte man, I love you, please always, Oh my god? Whoever? Now anyway, So I'll

just get right to my story. So I just started working at this hospital I'm not gonna say the name IM about seven months ago. I have this lady who just she pulls me all day. She complains, complains, complain. Nothing I do is ever right, But she'll never come to me and say anything. She'll just complain. This woman he on herself in front of everyone last night, and I front Road Center. How did she be on herself? Why?

I don't know. Well, she really should have been worried about wearing a depend for one of the patients instead of me. But I'm telling you, God would really let you get a front road seat to your enemies. Crumble. That's right, that's right. You know what I was gonna tell you. I was gonna tell you if if you've ever seen the Help, you know, maybe you need to make her a pie. The universe work that one. The universe work that one out for you even better, Darla

n Can you please send me a book? Yes, I will let the producer put you on hold of Day and put you on hold and I get your information. Hold on, Okayma, hang up, hold on Shema. Eight on drink five eight five one oh five one. We're asking, when's the last time you ran into a Karen? Call us? Now it's the Breakfast Club, Good morning, call me and your opinions to the Breakfast Club top on eight did five e five one five one morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,

Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. We're asking, when is the last time you ran into a Karen? Hello? Who's this first? Is foremost? I want to say, good morning. I love the show, listen to it every morning. Love listening to y'all every morning. Donkey of the Gate Day definitely makes my baby. We'll get away, Thank you, Thank you, sir, Donkey of the Gate. Donkey and again the new segment we're starting in March. I knew you was don be the one to do it.

I knew it. Man, he's probably even coming out. I appreciate you. Ran up to a flock of Karen's in nineteen twenty nineteen the GM strike. I drive sit my truck. I'm trying to get into a plant. They're picking it first. Someone breaks a mirror off of my truck. I get out of have a short conversation with him. He backs down. One of the other guys is going to come to his defense and get in my face. I'm six six hundred pounds, I'm not worried about nothing. Do what you

go through. We're gonna sell it right here. But dude spits in my face. What he now? No, so when you get out, jail at I never want to jail. So I deal with him accordingly. And two other guys come to his defense because he missed the whole rest of the fight. Up after the first bunch, everybody saying I started everything. I started everything. The group of quote unquote Karen's said he did it. He just started throwing punches.

I'm like, dude, spit in my face. One of the women actually said it looked like he might have spent first like I did. Look like I'll spend everybody's Thomas spit my face. But lord, video actually showed everything that happened, and thank god, yeah I got nothing. All three of the guys who end up getting beat up, all three of them, they all got fired from GM for them. So all three up, all three of all. Yeah, all

three of them got hands. I imagine that wouldn't have been imagine there wouldn't have been a video, and they would have just took their word against yours. I would love to see the video because I want to know who good marriagings are that came to your defense against these thugs. Hey, I can see y'all the video because the same day a guy when I played football with it, send me the video, said, hey, this is your firm. I said, yeah, that was me, send me that video.

My goodness. All right, give them the email. Give them the email Breakfast Club amat gmail dot com. You can just send it to our instagrams. Man, Hello, who's this? Hey? This is Chrystal. How are you, hey, Crystals? We're asking the last time you're read into Karen. Now I'm in South Carolina, So Karen's a common that's why. That's why I always avoided him. Hey, Charlomagne, good old, I'm in Columbia, so you know all about it. Eight o three, Dad is I'm gonna stop caring y'all in public. The other

day I'm with my eight year old daughter. I'll get in a can off the bottom of the owl. Lady walked up with her car. She said, yeah, my way, nigger. Who what now? You recessive jean, poor white trash? What is a recessive genes the ocean from the fish that's on the top bradby ashes. She went on to say all types of stuff. She will on to even say, I will slap you, I said, lady, And if you slap me, your whole family will be cooking greens all next week for your fall pears at your house. All

that sweet, I promise you. By the way, by the way, her calling you the N word is enough. That was enough. I'm ready to suit up. By the end, y'all, I'm like what I'm not my answer even my answers would have beat joke that part. Somebody's gonna get hurt for real. They're playing too much, like stop it, Okay, you better watch Charry again or talking about ned it's for real, all right, Well, thank you. What's the moral of the story, guys, I don't know if there isn't world of the story.

World of the story is Karen's out here and these screech bro and they've been around forever in the day. So the only thing you can do is avoid them or have somebody to pay your bail money. Goodness, Curtius. All right, but we got roubles on the way, yes, and we are gonna be talking about what kind of forever. Let's talk about a spinoff series for Black Panther that is in the works at Disney Plus. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on

the breakfas his club. It's about Angela Ye, the Breakfast Club. So let's talk about Chad Wheeler, who played for the Seahawks. He was arrested in book January twenty third after his girlfriend accused him of twice tooking her until she was unconscious while he was experiencing what he called and she called it as well, a manic episode. Cops have described what the scene was like. They said that it took three police officers to detain him, and they said it

was like trying to subdue a bear. They said. When they arrived at the scene, his girlfriend was so badly injured. They had to subdue him. And they said, one cop said, I grabbed a hold of chat I could tell he was very solid and muscular. He was not easy to move, and all three responding cops ended up piling on top of him and it barely slowed him down. Yeah, he's six seven three under fifteen pounds, and he hit man and moves men for a living like black. They would

have shot him. If he was black, they would have shot him, and they wouldn't have cared that he had mental health issues. And they used a taser to detain him, but they said it had little to no effect, so he was later arrested. Now his how did they finally do it? Then? If they did, the taser didn't work, three men on top of him didn't work. What did they do? They said? They said, Ultimately they were finally able to get him into custody, but they said he

was so big they would confirmed he concerned. He wouldn't fit into the cruiser, the police cruiser, so they had to call for a larger jail van to take him to the station. Isn't it amazing how they can always figure it out when it's a white person or when it's a black person. They have no other bright idea other than the shoot bro. They shot the preacher that was having a mental illness I don't want to say a problem at the time. And he was what six

foot nowhere in there, three hundred fifteen pounds. They didn't need three men to take him down. They just shot him, which is crazy. And listen and you know, oh glad you. I was gonna say he has entered a not guilty plea though in this domestic violence case, I don't know how you can argue that. Well, you know, they say, Chad, will it deal with mental health issues? He wasn't taking

his medication. But I think when folks, you know, hear people say that, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be held accountable. Like even with all of those things, you can still get your ass beat. You can also still go to jail, and you can also get mental health counseling as well. All three of those things can be true. Now, his former girlfriend did a parent court with her left arm in a sling, and she said that she does not feel safe as long as he is out of custody.

She did object to his request that he'd be allowed to stay at his home in Hawaii, and she would prefer that he's not anywhere around her. So I can't blame her for that, of course, but we'll keep you updated on this case. All right. Now, let's talk about Black Panther. This is a good news story. There's a series in the works with director Ryan Kugler, is a five year exclusive TV deal with Disney, and they said one of those projects is going to be a Black

Panther TV series. Y'a all excited for that? Yeah, as I am. Come on, man, I'm so deep in the wand division. I mean, it's only been four episodes, but I already love what Marvel's doing with um, you know, the Disney Plus shows. That's actually the reason I got Disney Plus, even though my kids have taken Disney Plus over because they love Bluie and Sheriff Cally and you know, all of that type of stuff. But I got Disney

Plus for the Marvel TV shows. So yes, I'm excited, all right, Just make it sure I actually got Disney Plus two. I had to watch Soul and now I have Disney Plus at home, all right, Mariah carrys it's the best. It's the best screaming service, by the way. My kids love it because because a lot of the stuff that I enjoy are on Disney Plus. So what's the best service to me? All right? Mariah Carrey's extreame sister is suing her for emotional distress, and she said

that is because of Mariah's allegations about her. She's doing for one point two five million. Alison Carey says that Maria presented no evidence to back up the accusations of abuse in her book, The Meaning of Maria. She said Mariah's book alleges that Alison gave her value and trying to pimp her out and threw a cup of boiling hot tea on her, causing third degree burns when Maria was twelve. She's disputing these allegations as Mariah hasn't provided

any evidence to support them. That they'll all you say. I was gonna just say so crazy, the things that we go through with the people who are family members closest to us. Well, that's why they say when you write books, you should always change the names, just just in case. Because the situations like this, change just change the name. Yeah, absolutely chased the name. Ain't gotta deal

with the headaches. It's hard though, if it's your sister, right, because you still are going to say it's your sister. Won't people won't That still matter? Yeah, but anybody could sue for any reason. So if you can avoid a lawsuit, I mean, yeah, you tried. I mean, I know Charlemagne has been too a couple of times. I've been tooed for thirty million dollars so last year, So yeah, people, thirty million, you know that you paid it? No, I want them all right. Lee Daniels is doing a Wonder

Years reboot. They got the order for the pilot, so that will move forward. The original show featured a white middle class family in the sixties, but this time it will have a black middle class family in Montgomery, Alabama, also during the sixties and how they made sure that era was the Wonder Years for them. So the show's original creator, Neil Marlins is on board as a consultant and that's the plan. He's also doing a Waiting to

Exhale series, So I'm excited for that. I can't sit here and act like I wasn't all into Kevin and Winnie when the Wonder Years was popping to Kevin and Windey. Definitely Winnie Winnie Man shut up Vin and Windy also though he just be trying to trigger me, that's all. But now I was all in the Kevin and when that was all in for all six seasons of Don't. I don't know if it needs a remake, but I'm interested to see what Lee Daniels dodge with it all

right now. Eas Ray recently did an Instagram live conversation and she was talking about Insecure coming to an end and how she also is a little bit insecure about that. Here's what she said. My negative self talk has been I'm entering a new chapter in my life, which I'm discovering is you know, with the end of Insecure, and it feels like my future is kind of just up in the air. I'm like, what's gonna be my next thing? And you know, am I gonna be? Okay? I do?

I have longevity in this industry, and so I guess my positive affirmation will be you can be here as long as you want to be, as long as you work at it, and as long as it's right for you. Shocking to me more than fine. She just had Lovebird The love Birds on Netflix. She had the photograph, she had little she has all these other things going on. That's so interesting about those on her projects though she

was she was acting in those projects. I guess she means I thought some of them now far as being a producer, not that I I don't think none of those projects in a movie yet. I thought The Lovebirds was her project. But maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I'm not sure, but I don't I didn't know. I don't think she's done no films yet, not not produced a written one. Oh well, I felt like, I mean, Eastery is super talented. I love her stuff, so I can't wait to see what she does next. But I

understand the insecurity when you're when you're not sure. So she's just being vocal about it because no matter what, you always have to have, like you're playing ABC and D just in case, you never want to take things for granted. But you know we're all for I'm interested in the HBO Max show she got that's based on the two female rappers from Miami. I mean, that's not that just just reading that on paper, that looks incredible,

so I'm interested to see what she does. I want her to cast pretty v in that as well as well as the city girls. Why not both of them need to be on the screen. All right, Well I'm Angela Yee and that is your report. All right, thank you, miss ye. It's Black History monthfull we repping today. Listen, man, today we are representing Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Here is a Black History Month for legend. So this is a Black

History Month moment from a Black History Month legend. This man is giving us the most legendary meme of all time when he decided to be vulnerable and bear his soul and cry in front of the world. And now he's giving us another meme based off what some would call his petty But I don't call it being petty. I call it motivation to do what it is that he does. Now I know the second agreement in the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruise is don't take things personally.

But what if taking things personally is what drives your competitive spirit and makes you want to be better and execute better than everyone around you. Here's the ten times Michael Jordan took you personally. The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History Month legendary were tough. Every time I go in the game and come out, I got a new scratch. It became personal with me. I knew that Jerry Krause loved Dan Martin, and just because the Krouse liked him was enough for me. You think he's a

great defensive but okay, I'm sure that he's not. It became personal with me. Clyde wasn't a threat. You know, I'm not saying he wasn't a threat, but me being compared to him, it became personal with me. I was a little bit upset that I didn't get the MDP that they gave it the chart, but with that said, okay, fine, you can have that. It became personal with me. When I was playing baseball, Utah was in town to play

the balls. They're practicing at the facility. I go over, say hello, John and call and this kid by Russell comes up to me and said, man, while you quit. Then you knew I could guard your hands. I couldn't. You had to quit. But from that point on, he's been on my list. It became personal with me. Carl won't get MVP I'm not saying he wasn't deserving of it. All I'm saying is that that fuel fired me and say, okay, you think he's MVP. Okay, fine, the problem it became

personal with me during the finals. We got to dinner one night, George calls over on the other side having dinner, George Carl over there, and George Carl does not come over and speak to him. He walked right past me. Oh so that's how he's gonna play. That's all I needed for him to do that, and it it became personal with me. Lebradford Smith walking out of the gym had said nice game, Mike. He took such umbrage and a guy saying nice game, Mike that he torched and

humiliated him. I hated him and yeah, he carries even to this day. It became personal with me, and that was another New Black History Month legend courtesy of the Breakfast Club. I definitely take things personally. By the way, me too, but I think, yeah, and I use it for the same type of motivation that Michael Jeffrey Jordan does. Yes, all right, now, shout to Nate Parker for joining us this morning. That's right, man. If you get a chance

during this Black History Month, please watch American Skin. It's a lot of great movies that are coming out this month that have a lot of teachable moments. American Skin is one of them. Judas in the Black Messiah is another, So make sure you check those out. All right, Well, how the time to get up out of here. Shout to everybody on the East Coast. I know a lot of people are digging out today. Just be safe out there.

Even though they plowed a lot of the road to still icy, so just give yourself a little extra time. And it's cold, and if you're on the down south on the West Coast, it's hot, f y'all. Hey, And I want to tell everybody to man.
