Speaker 9: to talk about this morning. But we do have a
Speaker 9: great guest this morning. That's somebody who I see in
Speaker 9: my house all the time, because you know, if you
Speaker 9: got young kids, you know, and you do allow them
Speaker 9: to watch YouTube, even though I've taken away their YouTube recently.
Speaker 2: But you know about time, time baby.
Speaker 6: That's right. But the brown will be joining us, that's right.
Speaker 6: She's got a new book out called Yes, it's called
Speaker 6: I Did a New Thing Thirty Days to Living Free.
Speaker 2: That's right. I mean time. I don't know.
Speaker 9: She is an entrepreneur like big mogul status out here,
Speaker 9: whether you realize it or not. So it's gonna be
Speaker 9: great to have a conversation with her absolute morning.
Speaker 6: Why do you take the kids YouTube? Boy?
Speaker 9: I didn't like some of the language I was I
Speaker 9: was hearing, because you know, you can tell, if you
Speaker 9: you know, if you can tell when your kids start
Speaker 9: to learn new words. And you know, one of my
Speaker 9: daughters is really into like.
Speaker 2: Minecraft, so she'll be watching those YouTube videos of people
Speaker 2: playing people playing Minecraft.
Speaker 9: I'm still think the thing that people don't realize when
Speaker 9: people are when you're watching. When they're watching those videos,
Speaker 9: they're listening to other people talk, so the person that's
Speaker 9: playing is talking, so you know, I just it's not
Speaker 9: like it's foul language. It's just words that like like
Speaker 9: where you get that from?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 2: So I wanted to pull back on it.
Speaker 6: You have to do that with my son with Fortnite, yeah,
Speaker 6: because they go into those rooms and although I watch
Speaker 6: over him as he plays, some of the people that
Speaker 6: he plays with his same age are using words in
Speaker 6: terms that I'm like, nah, let's let's let's fall back.
Speaker 9: And my thing also with the YouTube is like, yo,
Speaker 9: why watch people play Minecraft?
Speaker 2: Learn to play it yourself.
Speaker 9: So if you are gonna when she does have the
Speaker 9: time to be with the technology, go play the video game.
Speaker 2: But I learned to play the actual game. She does
Speaker 2: what she's into now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I asked that to it. And the reason
Speaker 6: they do that it is special boards. There's special things
Speaker 6: that you can get, and a lot of times they
Speaker 6: actually follow them to see where those special things are,
Speaker 6: special skins are, or whatever it may be. When we
Speaker 6: were playing Mario back in the day, we just had
Speaker 6: to figure it out and it might take us a
Speaker 6: week to get past.
Speaker 2: We wanted them colds.
Speaker 6: We wanted them cold.
Speaker 2: Wanted once you learned them cold. That was the thing.
Speaker 9: Once you start learning them colds for contract. Not mind
Speaker 9: you just big uncle talk right now.
Speaker 6: It's contract up up, down, down right the A B
Speaker 6: A selection updown updown left right left right, b A
Speaker 6: B A select start. Okay, I think that's the cold.
Speaker 9: That's the contra cold. Yeah, but once you learned that,
Speaker 9: that's what we used to worry about, learning them cold.
Speaker 11: That's right.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I'm I don't let my kids do too
Speaker 9: much technology. That's why I was watching the social media
Speaker 9: CEOs testifying yesterday and the Senate yesterday.
Speaker 2: That's what I was saying. Yeah, they were. They were saying
Speaker 2: that it was on the ass.
Speaker 6: They were saying that it's very addictive and kids shouldn't
Speaker 6: be on it the way that they on it.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 9: I wasn't mad at some of the rhetoric that was
Speaker 9: being thrown at them, especially when they especially like there
Speaker 9: was that one where they they showed like the sexual
Speaker 9: abuse thing. Did you see that if it's like images
Speaker 9: of child sexual abuse, they give you two options, and
Speaker 9: one option is it tells you, it warns you about
Speaker 9: it and you can watch it anyway.
Speaker 2: Then another one is more resources or.
Speaker 8: Something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was strange. I'm like, why they don't just
Speaker 2: have that block period.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, if you got kids, just make sure
Speaker 6: you stay on top of what they've got with them phones.
Speaker 6: You got my phones and computers and all that.
Speaker 2: Social media YouTube, all that.
Speaker 9: My kids ain't on social media at all, but the
Speaker 9: YouTube is just as just as dangerous.
Speaker 6: Absolutely. All right, Well, let's get the show crack and
Speaker 6: we got front page news coming up. Tesling figure over
Speaker 6: be joining us. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody.
Speaker 6: It's the DJ env Charlemagne de God. We are the
Speaker 6: breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning
Speaker 6: tis little morning, j Charlemagne the God. Yeah, I just
Speaker 6: want to start off with some quick sports. Mark Gasol,
Speaker 6: he announced his retirement from basketball on Wednesday. He spent
Speaker 6: thirteen years playing in the NBA twenty years playing professional
Speaker 6: basketball overseas. So congratulations to Mark Gasol. All right, now
Speaker 6: let's talk about the social media CEO testifying in the Senate.
Speaker 6: Charlemagne and I started talking about it a little.
Speaker 4: Bit, Yeah you did. So this is what happened yesterday
Speaker 4: in Congress.
Speaker 12: So they said, sexual predators, addictive features that you guys mentioned, suicide,
Speaker 12: eating disorders, unrealistic beauty standers, bullying. These are just some
Speaker 12: of the issues young people are dealing with on social media.
Speaker 12: I always like to say it's not just young people,
Speaker 12: like adults are obviously, you know, affected as well, but
Speaker 12: this was about young people, they said. Child advocates and
Speaker 12: lawmakers say that these companies are not doing enough to
Speaker 12: protect them. So wednesday, what you guys talked about Yesterday,
Speaker 12: CEOs of Meta and TikTok x and other social media
Speaker 12: companies went before the Senate Judici Judiciary Committee to testify
Speaker 12: as lawmakers and parents grew increasingly concerned about the effects
Speaker 12: of social media on young people's lives. Now the hearing
Speaker 12: began with recorded testimony from kids and parents who said
Speaker 12: that their children have been exploited on social media.
Speaker 4: Throughout the hour long, hours long.
Speaker 12: Events, parents who lost their children to suicide silently held
Speaker 12: up pictures of their dead children. Now the hearing began
Speaker 12: will record a testimony from the kids like I just mentioned,
Speaker 12: and a heated question and answer session with Medicine.
Speaker 4: Oh, Mark Zuckerberd, they really had him on the ropes.
Speaker 12: Yesterday, Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley asked the MEDICEO if
Speaker 12: he personally compensated any of the victims and their families
Speaker 12: for what they've been through. He also asked, would he
Speaker 12: liked to apologize to the families?
Speaker 4: Take a listen.
Speaker 13: So you didn't take any action, You didn't take any action,
Speaker 13: you didn't fire anybody. You haven't compensated a single victims.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 13: There's families of victims here today.
Speaker 2: Have you apologized to the victims? Would you like to
Speaker 2: do so?
Speaker 13: Now? Well they're here, you're on national television. Would you
Speaker 13: like now to apologize to the victims who have been
Speaker 13: harmed by your product?
Speaker 2: Showing the pictures?
Speaker 13: Would you like to apologize for what you've done to
Speaker 13: these good people?
Speaker 6: I'm sorry for everything that you apologying through. Terrible.
Speaker 14: No one should have to go through the things that
Speaker 14: your families have suffered. And this is why we invested
Speaker 14: so much and are going to continue doing industry leading
Speaker 14: efforts to UH to make sure that no one has
Speaker 14: to go through the types of things that your families
Speaker 14: have type of suffered.
Speaker 9: Oh, man, I watched it. I watched a lot of
Speaker 9: that here and yesterday. I wasn't mad at it. I
Speaker 9: just wish some of those senators had the same energy
Speaker 9: for things like you know, mass shootings, you know, gun control. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I was gonna way they had the same energy for
Speaker 9: things like you know, poverty, because they was coming down
Speaker 9: on you know, the social media CEOs like they were
Speaker 9: the scum of the earth.
Speaker 6: Because I think a lot of that is unfair though, right,
Speaker 6: And the reason I think a lot of it is
Speaker 6: unfair is they create these sites and I don't maybe
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I don't think they created these
Speaker 6: sites for evil, for negativity. They thought it would be
Speaker 6: a great space for my kids to talk to somebody's
Speaker 6: kids in Florida. Now why people use these sites and
Speaker 6: how it's changed, it's effing horrible, right, But I don't
Speaker 6: think they built these platforms for it to be evil, right,
Speaker 6: for it? But they building for the intention.
Speaker 4: Well it wasn't the intention.
Speaker 12: But they have been told repeatedly when you talk about
Speaker 12: the algorithms, when you talk about you know, all the
Speaker 12: whistlel on that we've seen over the years, particularly about
Speaker 12: Facebook and how they have been told that this is
Speaker 12: doing negative things and they just continue to do it
Speaker 12: for the money.
Speaker 4: And for the advertising.
Speaker 12: And Mark Zuckerberg said yesterday that he didn't think there
Speaker 12: was a link between mental health and negative outcomes on
Speaker 12: young people.
Speaker 4: We know that not to be true.
Speaker 12: We see that well grown people that there's a link
Speaker 12: between mental health and that. So Democrat Senator Dick Durbin
Speaker 12: obviously disagreed. Let's listen to what he said right quick.
Speaker 15: With the touch of your finger, that smartphone that can
Speaker 15: entertain and inform you can become a back alley where
Speaker 15: the lives of your children are damaged and destroyed. These
Speaker 15: apps have changed the ways we live, work and play,
Speaker 15: But as investigations have detailed, social media and messaging apps
Speaker 15: have also given predators powerful new tools to sexually exploit children.
Speaker 15: Your carefully crafted algorithms can be more powerful for us
Speaker 15: in the lives of our children that even the most
Speaker 15: best intentioned parent see.
Speaker 6: But like you said, why don't they go at you know,
Speaker 6: gun manufacturers the same and cigarette manufacture is the same way.
Speaker 6: Why don't they I want those people the same way
Speaker 6: that they went at these people just what I.
Speaker 9: Do they do with cigarettes? But I just wish, I
Speaker 9: wish they had the same energy. But there is no
Speaker 9: regulations on social media at all. Like if these platforms,
Speaker 9: you know, are the biggest broadcast platforms and they need
Speaker 9: to have the same SCC rules and regulations as other
Speaker 9: broadcast platforms.
Speaker 2: You can't just get on TV and radio and you know,
Speaker 2: say whatever you want.
Speaker 9: I mean, you can, but it will be consequences and repercussions,
Speaker 9: not just for the broadcaster before the platform. We saw
Speaker 9: that with the Fox News and the dominion voting case recently.
Speaker 9: So I think what's going to change these platforms when
Speaker 9: they are held liable Because I believe at the moment
Speaker 9: they can't be sued.
Speaker 6: I don't what they can.
Speaker 4: And let me just tell you what they were.
Speaker 12: What the whole thing was the point of yesterday, they're
Speaker 12: trying to pass the act called the Kids Online Safety Act.
Speaker 12: Just so folks know, this bill will require online services
Speaker 12: like social media networks, video game sites, messaging apps to
Speaker 12: put reasonable measures to prevent harm like bullying and the
Speaker 12: self harm and all this stuff. And it will also
Speaker 12: require them to turn on privacy and safety settings for
Speaker 12: default for kids under eighteen. It is bipartisan. Both Democrats
Speaker 12: and Republicans seem to agree. But we'll see if they're.
Speaker 2: All for us.
Speaker 6: Let me ask a question, when do parents take responsibility
Speaker 6: as well?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 6: Because, yeah, you're allowing your kids to go in these sites,
Speaker 6: you're allowing your kids to play. You know, you're not
Speaker 6: watching over your kids to make sure they're saying, like
Speaker 6: you said, you had to, you know, stop your daughter
Speaker 6: from playing it, you know on YouTube, And I stopped
Speaker 6: my son from playing certain things because I watch them.
Speaker 6: I make sure that there's certain words that can't be said,
Speaker 6: and if I hear those words, I stop it immediately.
Speaker 2: Like when it's not one person's fault.
Speaker 9: Now, it's not the parents' fault, it's not the social
Speaker 9: media ceo.
Speaker 2: It's not one person's fault.
Speaker 6: That's my point.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but then remember the whistle blowing guys. And last
Speaker 12: year when remember when John Todd, the founder whistle Blown Act,
Speaker 12: they exposed Facebook for these algorithms that are specifically targeting kids.
Speaker 12: And you know how stuff pop up in your feed
Speaker 12: over and over and over and over and over. So
Speaker 12: there's been some accountability. DJ and B does come down
Speaker 12: to the parents. A lot of parents don't know what
Speaker 12: their kids are doing.
Speaker 4: They just can't. You can't monitor everything.
Speaker 12: But when you've been told at these algorithms that you're
Speaker 12: literally setting it up to only be able to swipe
Speaker 12: certain things, and they keep popping up over and over
Speaker 12: and over, that's kind of where it gets a little
Speaker 12: bit sticky.
Speaker 2: This is about bullying, though, This is about kids who
Speaker 2: have killed themselves because they were being bully that's just
Speaker 2: not necessarily that's not algorithms.
Speaker 4: No, but it's no. But it's all it's all of that,
Speaker 4: is what they're saying. It's all of that. It's the bullying,
Speaker 4: it's the algorithms, it's the just.
Speaker 2: Like you just heard, bullying and harmful content.
Speaker 6: That's right. Well, we'll talk about it some more and
Speaker 6: then we'll see you in about an hour. Test. Yes, sir,
Speaker 6: get it off your chest. Eight don't drink five eight
Speaker 6: five one oh five one. If you need to vent,
Speaker 6: talk to us. The phone lines wide open. It's the
Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your
Speaker 6: time to get it off your chest. Eight hundred and
Speaker 6: five eight five one five one. We want to hear
Speaker 6: from you on the Breakfast club. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 16: This is DJ Maniac.
Speaker 2: Won't know DJ Maniac. What's happening?
Speaker 17: King, what's happening?
Speaker 16: I wanted to thank you got Uh for being being
Speaker 16: real keeping it ring on about social media situation and yeah,
Speaker 16: it's not one person's fault.
Speaker 18: It's not a social.
Speaker 16: Media fault, Armor Grayson. Everybody needs to get together and
Speaker 16: I appreciate you guys doing that to the public.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you. I mean, it's just the truth.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 2: You're lying to yourself if you think social media not
Speaker 2: impacting your.
Speaker 6: Kids after bug positively, But like you said, it's it's
Speaker 6: it's the kids, you know. Sometimes it's not not the cads,
Speaker 6: it's the parents. It's it's the social media place. It's
Speaker 6: it's a little bit of everybody, and we all have
Speaker 6: to make sure that we play a part of making
Speaker 6: sure that we can stop it and slow it down
Speaker 6: because cyber bullying is real. These kids are influenced, that's real.
Speaker 6: So I think it's everybody mellow, yo, envy, what's the wording?
Speaker 18: What's up?
Speaker 17: Uncle Sola?
Speaker 2: How y'all feeling mellow? What's up? My brother?
Speaker 11: Before I even get into this, I apologize to anybody
Speaker 11: out of fend but respectfully, I was a bullying a
Speaker 11: thing when you could just turn your phone off or
Speaker 11: delete the app, like back in the day, like if
Speaker 11: your mom cut your head, you had to defend your
Speaker 11: existence for the next two weeks at the lunch table. Like,
Speaker 11: and you're telling me you could you have the option
Speaker 11: or walk away from your phone or turn your phone off,
Speaker 11: and you're still allowing it.
Speaker 2: To get leaded.
Speaker 11: Yeah, by that, that doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 9: I tell you something, mellow, you know, I get what
Speaker 9: you're saying. But think about this, right, if you're a
Speaker 9: young kid who isn't han't learned emotional intelligence yet, and
Speaker 9: you know you're getting online, it's one thing to have
Speaker 9: to deal with, like you know, five or six kids
Speaker 9: at the lunch table, you gotta deal withreds hundreds of
Speaker 9: people on social media, people that you don't even know,
Speaker 9: just going in on you over and over and over.
Speaker 9: And yeah, I can, yeah, turn your phone off, but
Speaker 9: what if you've already experienced.
Speaker 2: Five minutes of it, ten minutes of it, fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: of it. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I hear you on that, But you can just
Speaker 11: lock out the app.
Speaker 18: And on top of that.
Speaker 11: Where's the parents that, Like, if you're not emotionally intelligent
Speaker 11: enough to be able to deal with that on social media,
Speaker 11: then you should not have one.
Speaker 18: And that's your parent's job.
Speaker 11: Why do you hope to lead social media your companies accountable?
Speaker 18: I don't care, but you're.
Speaker 6: Doing jonal melo. You gotta think. Let's say you get
Speaker 6: into an incident at school, like Charlamage said, that incident
Speaker 6: is over the next day, but now you got something
Speaker 6: that lingers, Like you got a video that you got
Speaker 6: into a fight that you might have lost that stays online.
Speaker 6: Now you got a situation you.
Speaker 2: Did your most embarrassing moment forever on social media.
Speaker 9: And why do we keep talking about the kids as
Speaker 9: if the adults, If the adults aren't following, following, following
Speaker 9: for this more than anybody, Like, the adults show a lack.
Speaker 2: Of emotional intelligence more than the kids.
Speaker 9: Nowadays, you don't get adults the other ones having the
Speaker 9: meltdowns on social media.
Speaker 11: Na, that's nah, you got me on that one. The
Speaker 11: adult Yeah, no, they need to get dunky of to
Speaker 11: day because like, excuse me, like turn your phone off
Speaker 11: the children.
Speaker 17: I respect y'all.
Speaker 18: That was my band.
Speaker 2: But the adult.
Speaker 11: Ye, get them out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, social media, no joke.
Speaker 9: And I don't even think our brains are equipped, you know,
Speaker 9: to deal with the constant onslaught of criticism, you know,
Speaker 9: the constant onslaught of you know, harassment, the constant onslaught
Speaker 9: of people saying negative things like it's just it's.
Speaker 2: Disgusting a lot. And that's all.
Speaker 9: My daddy always told me, you never as good as
Speaker 9: they say you are. You never as bad as they
Speaker 9: say you are. So that's always been my mentality since
Speaker 9: I was young. So you know, I'm kind of numb
Speaker 9: to it either way, but I can totally see how
Speaker 9: it can how it can affect people psychologically.
Speaker 6: Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
Speaker 6: one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit
Speaker 6: us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Ray right, ray Yo, Charla man, Nancy?

Speaker 17: I listen to Mary J. I still feel the same
Speaker 17: way I did when I was born, Like her message
Speaker 17: came through you know what I'm saying through her, Boy,
Speaker 17: I feel like just to do.
Speaker 19: The same thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just saying it based on what I
Speaker 6: see my assistant, my daughter who you know, who was
Speaker 6: a lot younger than me, how they vibe and how
Speaker 6: they feel sism when when you know, when we take
Speaker 6: trips and when we take whatever, they love sister, how
Speaker 6: I love Mary. That's that's all I was saying. I
Speaker 6: wasn't disrespecting scissor or Mary.
Speaker 2: But what tho? Yeah, sharp ps king, what's ingro we're
Speaker 2: Scharla Man good.
Speaker 17: Mor Hey, Charlotte Man. I want to say this, I
Speaker 17: disagree with you. I understand what you're saying, but I
Speaker 17: disagree about the color purple things. I feel like black people,
Speaker 17: when black people support something, we go out and spend
Speaker 17: our money. I feel like we don't want to see
Speaker 17: a color purple, and we said that's that's when it
Speaker 17: came out to the black people don't want to see that.
Speaker 17: We want to see something do where Tyler Perry came
Speaker 17: out with Diary of a Man Black Woman and all that.
Speaker 17: Not just nobody had to tell us.
Speaker 9: To go, we win, Hey, black man. You know I
Speaker 9: literally said that verbatim yesterday. I literally said, we got
Speaker 9: to support with our dollars. But I also said, I
Speaker 9: think one of the problems with Color Purple was nobody
Speaker 9: wanted to see a color purple remake you did.
Speaker 20: Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, you're right.
Speaker 10: Hey.
Speaker 17: I want to shout out my my best friend. First,
Speaker 17: I want to shout out all the black male nursey.
Speaker 17: I want to shout out my best friend Dawanna Partner,
Speaker 17: he a black male nurse. I want to shout out
Speaker 17: my brother Charles Brooks, your nurse. To shout out to
Speaker 17: my nephews, Durian, Dwan, Messiah Roger, and my niece. All them.
Speaker 2: That's all black male nurses.
Speaker 18: No, the kid the other ones is a kid.
Speaker 17: Dwan and Charles does stuff, my brother Charleston school for nurse,
Speaker 17: and my friend dwan. He just became a nurser year ago.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, to all the black nurses, I think black
Speaker 6: male nurses, I should say, for real.
Speaker 18: Is not a lot of them. It's not a lot
Speaker 18: of them.
Speaker 6: All right, thank you, brother, all right, have a good day. Hello.
Speaker 2: Who's this?
Speaker 6: He ain't Sophia? Good morning? Get it off your chest.
Speaker 19: Yes, I wanted to ask Arl name women when you've
Speaker 19: done for interviewing Nikki Hayley. And she made a comment
Speaker 19: about abortion, late term abortion, which is not true. Women
Speaker 19: don't have late term abortions. I still, if we want
Speaker 19: to ask questions, we need to have a rebuttal to
Speaker 19: those answers because she just misinformation out there.
Speaker 2: About late term abortion.
Speaker 6: Yes that she.
Speaker 19: Does not happen.
Speaker 6: We asked it for her. I asked her stance on abortion,
Speaker 6: and she said she's pro life, but you know, she
Speaker 6: wants a woman to be able to make her own
Speaker 6: choice about their own bodies. But she's just against late
Speaker 6: term abortions. I think that's what she said.
Speaker 9: But I thought different people. I thought people define late
Speaker 9: term abortion different. I think I thought a late term
Speaker 9: abortion sometimes described when it's fifteen to twenty weeks or
Speaker 9: even earlier.
Speaker 19: No, No, she has said that women has had abortions
Speaker 19: at eight months and that's not true. So we have
Speaker 19: to do our homework when we are talking about this information.
Speaker 2: Totally understand.
Speaker 6: Late term abortion is referred to the third trimester abortion.
Speaker 2: I did, I did, I did.

Speaker 5: the people, and then feeling that energy. I don't remember
Speaker 5: the last time that I've been to a show like that.
Speaker 5: You know, this arena gave me an opportunity to be
Speaker 5: able to be closer to my fans because i'd been
Speaker 5: I hadn't put out an album in almost six years, right,
Speaker 5: so now being able to reconnect in that way, you know,
Speaker 5: obviously it spun into something that became gave me a
Speaker 5: new title. Yeah, I think Charlemagne a god named me
Speaker 5: like the Domestic Terrorists. I'm like, bro, I'm just this
Speaker 5: is this is actually an Usher show.
Speaker 9: The bigger conversation outside who gave him the name the
Speaker 9: Domestic Terrorists was the convoy they was having around that
Speaker 9: was basically was just Usher feel bad about serenading other
Speaker 9: people's women. Okay, does he feel bad about the homes
Speaker 9: he may have ruined because of that Vegas residency? Okay,

Speaker 6: You said yeah on the record, but you just say no.
Speaker 21: That's the one.
Speaker 2: I think that we just got caught up.

Speaker 21: We was talking about it, having secret meetings about it.
Speaker 5: We were talking about music and how we're gonna flip
Speaker 5: it in it the business of it, and somehow, man,
Speaker 5: we just got distracted, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 21: And it never happened. You know, that's the one that
Speaker 21: I actually wish would have happened.
Speaker 9: That's one of those things that when you look at
Speaker 9: it on paper, all the ingredients, you know, they look good. Separately,
Speaker 9: but I don't know if they necessarily go together. But
Speaker 9: if a chef tells me they can put it together,
Speaker 9: you try it, you know what I mean? Well, not necessarily.
Speaker 9: I don't know if I want it, but I try
Speaker 9: it. It would have been dope.
Speaker 6: You're thinking about the success Parrell has had with Usha,
Speaker 6: the success Parol has had with Hove. You put that
Speaker 6: all together?
Speaker 2: Wait, does it mix? Like us is the only singer?
Speaker 18: Right?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 2: He the producer? I guess did.
Speaker 9: He would have produced his He would have produced a
Speaker 9: Lis and Jay would have did all the rapping, so
Speaker 9: it's an Usher and jay Z group. Then with Pharrell
Speaker 9: doing the beats and some hooks. It would have been dope. No,
Speaker 9: I think it would have been dope.
Speaker 2: Maybe. Like I said, I would try it.
Speaker 9: All the ingredients look good separately, but I don't know
Speaker 9: if they all go together, but I would I would
Speaker 9: try it.

Speaker 6: Everybody is tj Envy, charlemagnea gud we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: I just signed for some front Page news. What ups
Speaker 6: was going on?
Speaker 4: DJ's Charlemagne the guy?
Speaker 6: He said, Now let's jump right into us now. Man
Speaker 6: was arrested after video posts showed a severed head of
Speaker 6: his father. What the hell?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is wild wold wid wow.
Speaker 12: The Pennsylvania man has been charged after his father was
Speaker 12: found beheaded inside their family home Tuesday night in Middleton Township.
Speaker 22: Take a listen, thirty two year old Justin Mohan of
Speaker 22: love Oftown, Bucks County, and he stands accused of a
Speaker 22: truly unspeakable crime. He's accused of murdering and decapitating his
Speaker 22: own father, sixty eight year old Michael Moon, a crime
Speaker 22: he allegedly videoed and then posted online.
Speaker 2: I am very sad for the family.
Speaker 9: I'm very sad for the community, you know, and also
Speaker 9: for the people that knew him.
Speaker 22: By the time authorities got to the family home on
Speaker 22: Upper Orchard Drive a bit past seven o'clock, the suspect
Speaker 22: that already left with his father's vehicle.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 12: During this fourteen minute long YouTube video, Moon titled it
Speaker 12: the Moan's Militia Called to Arms for American Patriots. He
Speaker 12: described his father as a federal worker in rails against
Speaker 12: the Biden administration and the border crisis, and declined himself
Speaker 12: the new acting president under martial law. Now so again,
Speaker 12: he referred to himself as a militia leader. He said
Speaker 12: that he was upset that his father was a federal
Speaker 12: employee for twenty years. Talked about again Joe Biden, and
Speaker 12: he was reading from a script. The police did eventually
Speaker 12: find him by pinging his cell phone and he was
Speaker 12: arrested without incident. So this was some political stuff going
Speaker 12: on with this as well.
Speaker 6: That's just insane, so insane.
Speaker 9: It's the world we live in. And you know, I
Speaker 9: can't be surprised by any of this stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 9: People commit crimes and for whatever reason, they feel like
Speaker 9: they want to showcase them online.
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, I know what it is. It's projection.
Speaker 9: When these people commit these heinous acts, they got so
Speaker 9: much trauma, they want to trauma dump on everybody. So
Speaker 9: they're sharing their heinous crime with the world because it's
Speaker 9: eating them up on the inside. That's just projection. But
Speaker 9: I'm glad that it makes it easier for the police
Speaker 9: to lock these people up.
Speaker 4: But boy, well what about the political side.
Speaker 12: You know, him talking about America's coming bloody revolution and
Speaker 12: the mental.
Speaker 9: You know again, just that just lets me know he
Speaker 9: got some he got mental health issues.
Speaker 2: That's what that is. That's just that's that. Don't even
Speaker 2: that rant, don't even mean nothing. That's just gibberiush.
Speaker 9: After you commit a crime like that, after you do
Speaker 9: something like that, you settled ahead of your father and
Speaker 9: post it online, that's just gibberiush.
Speaker 2: Whatever's coming out of your mouth, that's just Obviously he
Speaker 2: has problems.
Speaker 9: But what do you do with a person like that.
Speaker 9: You definitely got to go deal with the consequences of
Speaker 9: his actions. Right, But while he's in prison, shouldn't he
Speaker 9: be getting some type of psychological treatment?
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 12: Well it's amazing that without incident, That's what's amazing to me.
Speaker 12: But I mean, I just I just think it also
Speaker 12: went again. I know, we said it's just gibberous what
Speaker 12: he's saying is, but some of these people, he was
Speaker 12: a part of QAnon, he believed in, he believed in
Speaker 12: these conspiracies, these online things that are happening over and
Speaker 12: over and over and over. Just kind of going back
Speaker 12: to what we talked about, it's not just kids that
Speaker 12: are affected by online. It's a lot of these conspiracies
Speaker 12: and people are tapping into this.
Speaker 4: Two people who are mentally ill.
Speaker 12: You know, you can't control it, But I think it's
Speaker 12: not worth Did.
Speaker 2: He kill his father because of his father's political views?
Speaker 2: Did his father have opposing when.
Speaker 12: He said his father was a federal worker and was
Speaker 12: a trader for work because he worked for the government
Speaker 12: for twenty years.
Speaker 2: That's what he said, So that's the reason he killed him.
Speaker 2: That was the motive.
Speaker 6: That's what he said.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't you know, again, I don't know
Speaker 4: that's what but that's.
Speaker 2: Literally I'm saying that was that the motive of the police.
Speaker 2: That was the motive.
Speaker 4: I'm asking That's what he said on the video. That's
Speaker 4: what he said.
Speaker 2: He said, that's the reason he did it.
Speaker 12: Yes, he said, my father is a trader for working
Speaker 12: for the government for over twenty years.
Speaker 4: This guy was an anti government.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 12: He talked about it for fourteen minutes. He lifted his
Speaker 12: head up and showed it on YouTube and.
Speaker 6: All of that.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: That is his that is his motive.
Speaker 12: He's saying, that is his motive, that his father deserved
Speaker 12: to die because he was a trader. He should have
Speaker 12: never worked for the federal government.
Speaker 2: The fact that that can even make it to YouTube
Speaker 2: is insane.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 2: But that's the problem. Like, that's the problem.
Speaker 9: There's no degree of difficulty to get on YouTube like
Speaker 9: and I don't think and you can't stop that, you
Speaker 9: can't stop doing something like that.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, how do you control it? Like
Speaker 6: there's not enough people in the world to watch everybody's pays.
Speaker 6: Make sure that they can pull it in, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean.
Speaker 2: And you can't under see it. So once you've witnessed it,

Speaker 12: something so powerful that it's for children, But it still
Speaker 12: feels like it didn't happen. It feels like a dream almost.
Speaker 12: But the crazy thing is there's another side of that
Speaker 12: that it feels completely normal. It's a weird feeling, it's yours. Yeah,
Speaker 12: it feels like, oh, this is what God intended for
Speaker 12: my life. Absolutely, But the other side of it is like,
Speaker 12: did that really happen?
Speaker 10: So?
Speaker 2: But yeah, how did the Internet change your life?
Speaker 23: Shoot, honey?
Speaker 4: In every way?
Speaker 12: You know, I was a I still am an actress,
Speaker 12: but for a long time, you know, I was pursuing
Speaker 12: acting and nobody really knew me from you know, acting,
Speaker 12: And I started doing content, doing you know, videos, not
Speaker 12: because I wanted to, but I had a dream and
Speaker 12: God spoke to me and told me to start doing videos.
Speaker 12: And I was like, I don't want to do that,
Speaker 12: you know, but I was also trying to live a
Speaker 12: life of obedience. I started and nobody was watching, and
Speaker 12: I was like, well, God, you told me to do this,
Speaker 12: and ain't nobody ain't nobody showing up on these videos
Speaker 12: to watch?
Speaker 4: Why do you have me doing this?
Speaker 12: And I started in August of twenty seventeen doing videos,
Speaker 12: and by December thirtieth.
Speaker 4: One of my videos went viral.
Speaker 6: Which one it was.
Speaker 4: It was a TTLA.
Speaker 12: I was eating a sandwich in my car because I
Speaker 12: was driving Uber and because I was on disability for
Speaker 12: over you because I was so sick.
Speaker 23: And when I started.
Speaker 12: Feeling better after going vegan, I started driving Uber and
Speaker 12: I was like, you know what, I had had a
Speaker 12: job before. I didn't want to get stuck back in
Speaker 12: the nine to five. So I told my husband. I
Speaker 12: was like, you know what, I'm gonna go drive Uber.
Speaker 12: We live in LA. I'm probably get discovered in my car.
Speaker 12: In my mind, I'm thinking I'm gonna, you know, pick
Speaker 12: up a producer or director or something. I stopped by
Speaker 12: Whole Foods because I dropped somebody off and I was like,
Speaker 12: I'm go ahead and get me a little breakfast, and
Speaker 12: because I'm still a new vegan at that time, and
Speaker 12: I got a sandwich and did a review on it.
Speaker 12: Because I was my videos when I first started, I
Speaker 12: was just telling people I'm going vegan. When I find
Speaker 12: new vegan options, I'm just gonna share it. By the
Speaker 12: time I got home in the video had like fifty
Speaker 12: some thousand views, and I was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 12: who watching this video?
Speaker 2: But you was before.
Speaker 4: Listen. I love that's my nephew.
Speaker 12: But the next morning had like over one hundred thousand
Speaker 12: views and I was like, I told my husband, I said,
Speaker 12: I think I'm going viral.
Speaker 4: Was like, he was like, what that means. I was like,
Speaker 4: I don't know. And four days later, the Whole Foods
Speaker 4: reached out.
Speaker 12: I was like, we saw your video because I got
Speaker 12: the you know, sandwich from there, and they wanted to
Speaker 12: partner with me. I became their brand ambassador and I
Speaker 12: want to do so many campaigns and it ain't It's
Speaker 12: been on ever since then.
Speaker 6: Now, why'd you switch to vegan for people? I don't know?
Speaker 23: So I got sick.
Speaker 12: So January of twenty sixteen, I woke up one morning
Speaker 12: and I had this headache in the back of my head.
Speaker 12: And I had a car accident in high school, so
Speaker 12: I'm used to like waking up sometime in the back
Speaker 12: my neck is tight and sometime it goes into my head.
Speaker 23: So I thought it was one of those episodes.
Speaker 12: But this headache rested in the back of my head
Speaker 12: for a year and seven months and it started to,
Speaker 12: you know, affect my body, and so I started to
Speaker 12: fall when out will walk as a woman.
Speaker 23: Everything was all out of whack. I just did not
Speaker 23: feel well.
Speaker 12: So every time I went to the doctor, they were
Speaker 12: doing so many tests they was doing in myris trying
Speaker 12: to figure out what is wrong. So they told me,
Speaker 12: they was like, we know it's something autoimmune that's attacking
Speaker 12: your body.
Speaker 23: We just can't figure it out. I lost my vision
Speaker 23: for a day.
Speaker 12: It was a really bad time for me, and I
Speaker 12: took every drug the doctor offered me. I was like
Speaker 12: a guinea pig because you are desperate to feel better,
Speaker 12: and if anything, it probably made me worse.
Speaker 4: Nothing was working.
Speaker 12: And so my daughter came home from school one day
Speaker 12: and she was like, Mommy, we saw this documentary at
Speaker 12: school today.
Speaker 4: I think you should watch it.
Speaker 12: And I don't know if you know teenagers, honey, but
Speaker 12: it ain't every day they come home and tell you
Speaker 12: to watch the documentary. And so it was what they
Speaker 12: helped on Netflix, and so I was like, you know what,
Speaker 12: let's watch it together as a family.
Speaker 4: So I watched it.
Speaker 12: And when they started talking about not all diseases or
Speaker 12: hereditary sometimes you can eat the same thing in your
Speaker 12: family that will cause the same disease in your bloodline
Speaker 12: and so that was kind of like a light bulb.
Speaker 4: Moment for me.
Speaker 12: My mama died at fifty one of a rare disease LS.
Speaker 12: My daddy is now seventy two, but he's the oldest
Speaker 12: man that ever lived in my family.
Speaker 16: Wow.
Speaker 12: People get sick at young ages in my family, and
Speaker 12: they die at young ages in my family. And the
Speaker 12: only thing I could think of that we had in
Speaker 12: common was how we ate. Now, I wasn't a bad
Speaker 12: eater because I was in LA but I wasn't eating
Speaker 12: to feel well. I was eating to look a certain way,
Speaker 12: which is is also a sickness, and so eating.
Speaker 4: To look a certain way, so I'm not exactly.
Speaker 12: I wasn't eating to like, oh me put this in
Speaker 12: my body so I can be well. I was like, oh,
Speaker 12: let me put this in my body so I don't
Speaker 12: gain weight, gotcha, you understand. So, but I said, it
Speaker 12: wasn't you know, a terrible You know, I haven't eaten
Speaker 12: red metal pork since I was fifteen, And I was like, okay,
Speaker 12: and I'm allergic to derivery like most people.
Speaker 23: But I also was like, it's the only thing I
Speaker 23: haven't tried.
Speaker 12: So I told my husband, let's do like a thirty
Speaker 12: day began challenge except for thirty days, and so on
Speaker 12: like day ten, the headache I had every day for
Speaker 12: a year and seven months disappeared.
Speaker 4: Wow, and I was like, wait, min, I'm onto something.
Speaker 12: And after that, every day I started getting energy again
Speaker 12: because I had chronic fatigue and I had chronic panic
Speaker 12: attacks because when you sick and you know something is wrong,
Speaker 12: but the doctor said, well we can't figure it out,
Speaker 12: it makes you have anxiety and depression. And so I
Speaker 12: started getting energy again because I would sleep all day
Speaker 12: all night like I would just be exhausted all the time.
Speaker 12: And so energy started coming back. My head, you know,
Speaker 12: was feeling better. I was starting to feel like myself again.
Speaker 12: And so that day, look, when day thirty came, I
Speaker 12: told my husband. I was like, this is gonna be
Speaker 12: my life. You know, I'm gonna go vegan. He was like, well,
Speaker 12: tomorrow we need.
Speaker 4: A piece of chicken.
Speaker 23: Tab like it gonna be.
Speaker 16: Right.
Speaker 12: And so but I always tell people that part because
Speaker 12: sometimes the journey that may change your life or safe
Speaker 12: your life, you gotta be willing to go on and
Speaker 12: the loan and so I was like all right, and
Speaker 12: so I ain't never looked back.
Speaker 4: That's why we got more.
Speaker 6: With Tabatha Brown. When we come back, don't move. It's
Speaker 6: the breakfast club, Good morning, pulling everybody in DJ env
Speaker 6: Charlmagne the God. We are the breakfast club. It's still
Speaker 6: kicking with Tabitha Brown, Charlamagne.
Speaker 9: I got so many questions. Number one, you said something
Speaker 9: earlier about God spoke to you. What does God sound
Speaker 9: like for me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 12: So I always tell people. I get asked that a lot.
Speaker 12: Now I am gifted in a different way than most people.
Speaker 12: So for me, I can hear like your voice. I
Speaker 12: can hear sometimes it sounds like a flutter, like a
Speaker 12: humming bird would be close to my ear, so it's
Speaker 12: like a wind and it's a it's a flutter, but
Speaker 12: you can hear sound in it. I can see it,
Speaker 12: I can dream it. I'm a seer, but in my dreams,
Speaker 12: like my dreams can speak to me and things come
Speaker 12: to pass. So that's what it sounds like for me.
Speaker 12: For most people who are always trying to figure out
Speaker 12: is this God speaking to me?
Speaker 2: Is this just my thoughts?
Speaker 12: I will tell you that when you think of something,
Speaker 12: you'll think of it and you may lose the thought
Speaker 12: later right, may not even come back to you. But
Speaker 12: when God is speaking to you, when he's putting something
Speaker 12: inside of you, it won't let you rest. It'll keep
Speaker 12: coming back. And so that's how you can kind of decipher.
Speaker 12: And then sometimes he will use a voice that's familiar
Speaker 12: to you. And when you gift it, sometime it do
Speaker 12: feel like you're crazy, and other people think that as well.
Speaker 12: But now of course I know like, oh no, this
Speaker 12: is just my gift and I don't hide it anymore.
Speaker 12: I don't straight away from it. I wrote about in
Speaker 12: my first book because I wanted people to know, like,
Speaker 12: this is me. If you won't rock with tail, honey,
Speaker 12: this is who I really am. I don't hide that
Speaker 12: part of me anymore.
Speaker 9: So, Wow, when you say you have a gift, so
Speaker 9: are you clairvoyant? Are you like a medium?
Speaker 23: I call it.
Speaker 12: I'm a seeer right, It's just you know, that's a
Speaker 12: gift that God gave me. I was born with it
Speaker 12: in that way. Yeah, my whole life, I feel like
Speaker 12: we all have discernment. We just don't all lean into it, right.
Speaker 12: But for me, as a little girl would dream about
Speaker 12: people I've never met before and wake up and tell
Speaker 12: my mom and dad. They're like, oh, I such and such,
Speaker 12: and they'd be like that person been dead twenty years,
Speaker 12: Like you would never know that person, right. I can
Speaker 12: remember being in my grandfather's funeral, but they're like, you
Speaker 12: were ten months old.
Speaker 4: It's no way for you to remember that. I don't know,
Speaker 4: and I can't control it. That's the thing.
Speaker 12: It just happens, like I gonna be talking to you
Speaker 12: and something can just appear that I can see, and
Speaker 12: it may be for you, or it may be to
Speaker 12: protect me.
Speaker 4: It's just a pen but I have no control over deb.
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask you, so you know North Carolina?
Speaker 4: Uh huh?
Speaker 6: So now you pick up your family and you move
Speaker 6: to LA. Yes, I was that conversation with your husband
Speaker 6: and your child, and let's just go to l A a
Speaker 6: place we don't know.
Speaker 2: You gotta find a new job in this good Carolina.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's crazy because at first my husband's like, so
Speaker 12: in ninety eight, I moved to California in pursuit of acting,
Speaker 12: but I wasn't in LA and I was like in
Speaker 12: Orange County, and I didn't tell my husband. He was
Speaker 12: my boyfriend at the time, Like how bad it was?
Speaker 12: I ain't telling nobody. I was renting the room from
Speaker 12: somebody who was like taking all my money. But you know,
Speaker 12: I'm like young, like nineteen, I really want to get
Speaker 12: this dream out of me and I want to do something.
Speaker 12: And so our plan was for him to move out
Speaker 12: a couple months later, you know, and then we would
Speaker 12: get our own place. But when he moved out and
Speaker 12: saw how I was living, he was like, no, this
Speaker 12: is crazy. He's like, you working two jobs and survive.
Speaker 12: You ain't nowhere near LA. You're not pursuing acting. He
Speaker 12: was like, we need to move back to North Carolina
Speaker 12: so that we could save but money because it's cheaper.
Speaker 12: He was like, we can stay for one year then
Speaker 12: move back to LA so you can really pursue your dreams.
Speaker 12: That one year turned into five years and a forgotten
Speaker 12: dream right until I had that experience that morning. So
Speaker 12: when I told my husband after I worked that job
Speaker 12: for like a year, I was like, now it's time
Speaker 12: for us to move back to LA.
Speaker 23: He was like nah. I was like, well, listen, I can.
Speaker 12: I can go out there, but like I can feel
Speaker 12: it calling me and I can come back and forth.
Speaker 4: He was like, oh, no, we're not going to do that.
Speaker 6: I can imagine those arguments you gonna go with.
Speaker 12: And I don't know what money I thought I had
Speaker 12: that I could be by coastal Okay, and go back
Speaker 12: and forth. I don't know what I was thinking, but
Speaker 12: we saved up like eight thousand dollars. Took us some
Speaker 12: months and we moved to LA And we first got there,
Speaker 12: we was living in Barwen Hills and my husband, I mean,
Speaker 12: we're both from the same hometown, you know, we're from Eden.
Speaker 4: It's a bear small town in North Carolina. And our apartment.
Speaker 12: I had flew out there to find our apartment because
Speaker 12: back then my husband used to be afraid to fly,
Speaker 12: you know, people from the country. They'd be like, I
Speaker 12: don't getting on no plane, you know. So I had
Speaker 12: went back and forth to find us a place and
Speaker 12: I found a cute this this spot was cute to me, right,
Speaker 12: And but it did have the bars on the window
Speaker 12: because most of them do in LA.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So, but we weren't used to that.
Speaker 12: But I didn't tell him because in my mind I
Speaker 12: thought it was nice, and it was.
Speaker 23: It did turn out to be nice.
Speaker 2: Was he able to bring his gun with them?
Speaker 4: He did?
Speaker 2: Action, Okay, you.
Speaker 4: Know what he did.
Speaker 9: He did.
Speaker 2: Carolina Garden.
Speaker 1: No, he did.
Speaker 12: But when we got that he was hot. He was
Speaker 12: like you what we was like right off Crenshaw. Yeah,
Speaker 12: he was like, what babe, we got a door there.
Speaker 12: I was like, babe, I didn't scolped it out. This
Speaker 12: is a good area, I promise you. And because there
Speaker 12: was you know, that was when the reality show ball
Speaker 12: when Hills was out. Remember that, I said, we live
Speaker 12: in Baldwin Hills. It's just that we don't live in
Speaker 12: View Park, but where we part we could see the view.
Speaker 12: Like I'm trying to sell it all right. But he
Speaker 12: got used to it over time. But you know, in
Speaker 12: the beginning, we was a little we was at odds
Speaker 12: for a while, but you know, we saved up for
Speaker 12: five years.
Speaker 4: And we loved it.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 9: One of the moments that we all saw that went
Speaker 9: viral was when you retired your husband and you know,
Speaker 9: Wendy Williams had made some statements about you and the
Speaker 9: way you responded. You responded with such grace and such love.
Speaker 9: It was almost like, I hope you heal absolutely moment.
Speaker 9: Do you respond like that always?
Speaker 23: In this season? In my life?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean the old tab probably would have had
Speaker 12: that get back spirit, right, But she didn't even know me,
Speaker 12: and I don't know her other than knowing her from
Speaker 12: you know her her career. But you can also tell
Speaker 12: when somebody is hurt. And we've all been through things
Speaker 12: that caused us to project and feel a certain way.
Speaker 12: But I'm not going to exhaust energy and give anybody
Speaker 12: control over me to anger me.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 12: So but also I just love people despite what anybody
Speaker 12: have to say about me. There's so many people now
Speaker 12: that that hate me, that don't know me, but I
Speaker 12: love them. It also makes me want to love harder
Speaker 12: in the world because people are hurting. Right. You know,
Speaker 12: a lot of people think that I'm fake because I'm
Speaker 12: nice and I'm like, I'm a kind, I'm compassionate. I
Speaker 12: held my mama's hand while she died, like I've seen
Speaker 12: death so many times, like I have also almost lost
Speaker 12: my life.
Speaker 23: Why would I not be happy and joyful?
Speaker 12: I'm still here sure, right, So it hurts my heart
Speaker 12: for other people when I know that they're just hurting
Speaker 12: and they don't mean any harm in a way that
Speaker 12: they it's really they're trying to make themselves feel better.
Speaker 12: They're projecting right, they're projecting, and so the harm is
Speaker 12: really they're doing it to themselves because they're not. Instead
Speaker 12: of projecting, you should be trying to heal yourself and
Speaker 12: get what you need to feel better.
Speaker 4: But I don't know, did you get a lot of
Speaker 4: flak for it?
Speaker 6: Because you know what it told me during that time
Speaker 6: is people don't understand love. Yeah, right, you love your husband.
Speaker 6: You were financially fine, and you can make sure that
Speaker 6: he's okay, you know, and it doesn't matter if he's
Speaker 6: a man, he's a woman, or what he is. You
Speaker 6: love me and you had the opportunity to retire man
Speaker 6: and men do it for women all the time. So
Speaker 6: I didn't see it. So did you get a lot
Speaker 6: of flat for it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 21: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I mean a lot of people had something to say
Speaker 12: about it, but that's their opinion.
Speaker 4: I don't care.
Speaker 12: That ain't my business. But I also realized that a
Speaker 12: lot of people don't understand partnership.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 12: I've been my husband twenty six years, amazing, more than
Speaker 12: half my life. Right, most people don't even understand that.
Speaker 6: How do he feel?
Speaker 4: He felt amazing?
Speaker 12: But after what people don't know is I had been
Speaker 12: trying to retire my husband for like two years, we
Speaker 12: had enough money. He was like, that money came to quit. Bay,
Speaker 12: I don't want to do that to you now, just
Speaker 12: in case. Yeah, he was like, nah, I know one
Speaker 12: plus one equal two.
Speaker 2: We don't know.
Speaker 12: Because he also has watched me in Hollywood over twenty
Speaker 12: years not get jobs for six months or two years
Speaker 12: or whatever.
Speaker 4: He was like, we can't.
Speaker 12: We can't count on this new money, right, And so
Speaker 12: I was like, Babe, I promise you I got the
Speaker 12: amount of money that we have always said that we
Speaker 12: have this amount of money in the bank. Tax has
Speaker 12: been paid. We don't owe nobody that you will retire.
Speaker 12: And he was like, all right, and let me think
Speaker 12: about it. He took a leave first. He just was like,
Speaker 12: I don't want that on your back, you know, even
Speaker 12: though he has a nonprofit, but it wasn't gonna make that,
Speaker 12: you know, coming straight down. He won't gonna make the
Speaker 12: kind of money he was making before. And I was like,
Speaker 12: but now you can build it. Now you can do
Speaker 12: all the things you wanted to do.
Speaker 16: Right.
Speaker 12: So it took him a while, but afterwards, now listen,
Speaker 12: right now, what time is that they might be on
Speaker 12: the golf course?
Speaker 4: Okay, listen.
Speaker 12: He worked with his kids three four days a week,
Speaker 12: but he'd be on that golf course.
Speaker 4: He is, he is feeling it now, he about it. Absolute.
Speaker 6: We got more with Tabatha Brown when we come back,
Speaker 6: so don't move. It's to Breakfast clucle morning morning. Everybody
Speaker 6: in is dj NV Charlomagne to God, we are to
Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Are still kicking it with Tabitha Brown, Charlomagne.
Speaker 9: Let's talk about this book. I did a new thing,
Speaker 9: your new book. Yes, all thirty days of living free.
Speaker 9: When it's living free to Tabitha Brown.
Speaker 12: Well, you know freedom over coach switching right, We talked
Speaker 12: about that. But living free is like taking the opportunity
Speaker 12: to do something even if it scares you, right, just
Speaker 12: doing something new.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 12: I started doing this challenge in twenty fourteen. I was
Speaker 12: really just in search of, like getting to know myself
Speaker 12: better because I still was not free. And I would
Speaker 12: do something new, whether it be with my kids or
Speaker 12: by myself, and just to see how it would open
Speaker 12: my mind and how it would make me feel. And
Speaker 12: so I did that over the years, and I would always,
Speaker 12: you know, learn something new about myself, like I discovered
Speaker 12: my love for hiking, and I was like, oh shoot,
Speaker 12: I never would have thought that I would love hiking.
Speaker 12: And then now it's something I have continued to do
Speaker 12: over the years, and so I was like, if I
Speaker 12: do this again, I think I want to write a book.
Speaker 12: So last year I did it for thirty days and
Speaker 12: I journaled it and made it into a book. And
Speaker 12: my hope was that other people want to, you know,
Speaker 12: live free and try new things and the other thing
Speaker 12: about freedom. In order to like really go out and
Speaker 12: do something new, that's the only way you're gonna know
Speaker 12: if you love something or you don't like it, right,
Speaker 12: you have to be willing to be like, I don't care,
Speaker 12: I just want to find out. Let me just see right. So,
Speaker 12: and it also could be something as simple as I'm
Speaker 12: gonna work my hair different right now I'm doing. You know,
Speaker 12: my hair name is Donna. So I'm doing while I'm
Speaker 12: on tour, I'm making a new hair style every day.
Speaker 2: He say his name is Donna.
Speaker 4: Yeah, her name Donna like Donna. Oh, it's just Donna.
Speaker 10: Well.
Speaker 12: I named after don King because put together don K today.
Speaker 12: But she got her name because when I was I
Speaker 12: did the big chopping when she was growing back one
Speaker 12: night I was cooking live and it was like straight
Speaker 12: up in the top. I was like, why's that piece
Speaker 12: of hair, you know, sticking straight up looking like don King.
Speaker 23: I was like, I'm about to call her Donna.
Speaker 2: It's stuck, It's stuck.
Speaker 9: Yeah. I love that you dedicated your new book to you.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Why was that important to do?
Speaker 12: Causeinay, I'm the one who made the decision to choose myself,
Speaker 12: sure right, And I made the decision to stop being
Speaker 12: afraid and to live my life my way and to
Speaker 12: try new things. And the biggest thing I ever did
Speaker 12: for thirty days was go vegan, and it saved my life.
Speaker 23: And I was like, girl, this youtab.
Speaker 12: I prayed that I forever and always do new things
Speaker 12: every day.
Speaker 23: I want to do that for the rest of my life.
Speaker 6: I was going to ask, you know, so many people
Speaker 6: listening right, how did you know not to give up?
Speaker 16: Right?
Speaker 6: Because I'm sure there's somebody listening right now that's been
Speaker 6: trying music for ten years and it didn't work, And
Speaker 6: somebody that's trying acting it didn't work. Somebody's trying to
Speaker 6: be in the chef, somebody's trying to be an author,
Speaker 6: somebody's trying to do something online and creating videos and
Speaker 6: nobody's watching, and they probably said I felt I got
Speaker 6: a sign. Yeah, when did you tell them to say,
Speaker 6: maybe that's not the sign and maybe the change or
Speaker 6: you know, how do you somebody to continue to keep
Speaker 6: doing what they're doing because you could have gave up
Speaker 6: so many times?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I would never really tell anybody to give up.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 12: If you think God has given you a sign, then
Speaker 12: trust the signs. For me, it was always signs, and
Speaker 12: that's confirmation. If it won't let you rest, if you
Speaker 12: try to give up and it won't let you, those
Speaker 12: are the signs that we have to not ignore. But
Speaker 12: also we have to kind of ignore the noise of
Speaker 12: people who tell you you can't. But also we have
Speaker 12: to be honest with ourselves. If you are not really
Speaker 12: doing the work for the dream that you have, is
Speaker 12: it really your dream?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 12: Because sometimes it might be a goal. And the difference
Speaker 12: between a goal and a dream is a goal is
Speaker 12: something that you create. A dream is deposited inside of you.
Speaker 12: God does that. You don't make up a dream, it
Speaker 12: lives inside of you. So be honest with yourself. Do
Speaker 12: you want it?
Speaker 23: Because you see somebody else with it.
Speaker 4: It would look cool to you. Do you just want
Speaker 4: to make money or is it something that won't let
Speaker 4: you rest?
Speaker 6: Another chapter? Do something that breaks the rules but not
Speaker 6: the law.
Speaker 12: Oh so I tell people that all the time, Like,
Speaker 12: you know, some rules are said by us, you know,
Speaker 12: by people as well as laws.
Speaker 6: Right, but your kids come back with you all the time.
Speaker 6: Mommy said, break the rules.
Speaker 4: It's not the law exactly exactly. But I talk about
Speaker 4: this in the book that you know.
Speaker 12: I had got invited to a party, you know, and
Speaker 12: it was a strict dress code where they wanted you
Speaker 12: to wear black. I don't like wearing black, and this
Speaker 12: is about as black as a gift for me. I
Speaker 12: love color. It makes me happy when I wear like
Speaker 12: all black, it makes.
Speaker 4: Me feel weird full.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know, like even at funerals, like in
Speaker 12: my family we wear a lot of colors, or we
Speaker 12: were white, but it just makes me feel a little
Speaker 12: I don't know, maybe sad. And I realize that if
Speaker 12: I do wear I got to have like a proper color.
Speaker 12: My lips are something I don't know. But I was like,
Speaker 12: I don't want to wear black to this thing. I
Speaker 12: gotta figure something out. So I found like I had
Speaker 12: this it was like a blaze, but it was the
Speaker 12: background was black, but they had a bunch of colors
Speaker 12: and patterns on it.
Speaker 23: And I wore like some black beilt bottomed pants.
Speaker 12: Got there and a lot of other people hadn't wore black,
Speaker 12: and so I was like, this is why we can
Speaker 12: break the rules sometimes.
Speaker 21: You know.
Speaker 12: I could have said, Okay, I'm gonna wear all black
Speaker 12: and been uncomfortable all night and then got there and
Speaker 12: being mad, like, look.
Speaker 4: At the people.
Speaker 12: They ain't wear what they said. We're supposed to wear it, right,
Speaker 12: So that's what I mean by that. Sometime we can
Speaker 12: break the rules. Just don't break the law.
Speaker 9: But you ain't never gonna follow in the dress code
Speaker 9: if it's an all white party and nothing.
Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean I would wear it, but it's
Speaker 12: gonna have to have a little something that make me
Speaker 12: feel like taped, you know, because I also want to
Speaker 12: go and be myself, you know, So do something that
Speaker 12: requires you to face your losses. That's a powerful So
Speaker 12: when I you know, I had a restaurant, right and
Speaker 12: when I had my restaurant, it was a partnership and
Speaker 12: we had a lot of problems with the building and
Speaker 12: so cause the kill my name is the restaurant in
Speaker 12: Chicago that I fell in love with. So when he
Speaker 12: came to LA, I was like, oh, I partnered with
Speaker 12: you an open a restaurant, which I didn't know the
Speaker 12: restaurant business. But this building gave us a lot of issues,
Speaker 12: and so we ultimately had to close.
Speaker 4: And so I was.
Speaker 12: Like, oh, man, it felt like a loss to me
Speaker 12: because I had had, you.
Speaker 23: Know, so much happening. People would come in.
Speaker 12: I would people come from all over to just meet
Speaker 12: me at the restaurant. And I wasn't there every day,
Speaker 12: but on the weekends or whenever I could, I would
Speaker 12: go and just be there all day to make sure
Speaker 12: I got to see people when they came. We ended
Speaker 12: up having to shut it down, and I was like
Speaker 12: really kind of hurt about, you know, for a while,
Speaker 12: and I really couldn't talk about it because we were having
Speaker 12: legal problems with the you know, the building on it,
Speaker 12: because it was the whole thing. When it was time
Speaker 12: to do my taxes, now I've been carrying this, like, man,
Speaker 12: I feel so bad about it. I realized that the
Speaker 12: loss had really blessed me. I wasn't wind right and
Speaker 12: so I was like, sometimes we got to look at
Speaker 12: the loss for what it is. Maybe it ain't a loss,
Speaker 12: you know. But also it opened up doors for me.
Speaker 12: And now I have, you know, my food and stuff
Speaker 12: at Target. So I was like, it won't necessarily a loss.
Speaker 12: You know, we can't always look at them, you know,
Speaker 12: things like that. So it actually blessed me because I
Speaker 12: ain't have to pay as much.
Speaker 2: Let's run some of this stub down now. So you

Speaker 6: He has partnered up with tad Day now today started
Speaker 6: a campus, a school, a college, and Shaquille O'Neill wants
Speaker 6: to start investing in college to help students actually pay
Speaker 6: for school. He said, if it wasn't for his scholarship,
Speaker 6: he doesn't know how he would be how he would
Speaker 6: have went to college? Is shack talking about it?
Speaker 9: What was it about campus that made you say this
Speaker 9: is a worthwhile investment, not just for my money, but
Speaker 9: also for my time.
Speaker 10: You know, I like to invest in things. It's going
Speaker 10: to change people's lives. That to definitely changed a person's life. Everyone.
Speaker 10: To be able to have access to world class education
Speaker 10: is very important. When I first met today, he told
Speaker 10: me DF deals, Like, what does that mean? Debt free degrees?
Speaker 24: Uh?
Speaker 10: Very you know, very very very affordable. And look, it's
Speaker 10: just a great thing. I'm going to be the guy
Speaker 10: that you know, along with you know, people like yourself
Speaker 10: with doing his injury, We're going to bring attention to
Speaker 10: this matter. You know a lot of people, and you
Speaker 10: know I would saying earlier, I don't know what it
Speaker 10: takes to go to junior college, Like I wouldn't even
Speaker 10: went to college if for one for my basketball scholarship.
Speaker 10: I know there's a lot of people that are, you know,
Speaker 10: getting the higher end. They want to further of their education.
Speaker 10: But you know, a lot of things throw him up.
Speaker 10: But he hasn't beened, you know. I mean, you know,
Speaker 10: what he's been thinking about for a long time is
Speaker 10: very very impressive.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 9: I didn't go to college, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: But I understand the importance of a college education. But
Speaker 9: I don't think people should go broke for a college education,
Speaker 9: you know. And and I'm a big proponent of a
Speaker 9: you know, trade trade school as well. But either way,
Speaker 9: a lot of people can't afford to do either one
Speaker 9: of these things. So I salute the Shack for what
Speaker 9: he's doing. Absolutely. It's one of the reasons I opened
Speaker 9: up for a scholarship for at South Carolina State University, which,
Speaker 9: by the way, the deadline is February sixteenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 9: You can apply at bit dot l y slash forward
Speaker 9: Family SCSU Scholarship for all South Carolina State residents and
Speaker 9: seniors and more seniors that's come to say university.
Speaker 6: Now, if you're a big TikToker like Charlemagne is. That's
Speaker 6: a goddamn Universal is TikTok Universal Universal Music Group is
Speaker 6: threatening to pull their artists off of the TikTok platform. Now,
Speaker 6: this is over a contract dispute. Now, TikTok and Universal
Speaker 6: has been going back and forth. TikTok is basically saying, look,
Speaker 6: we made agreements with all these other labels and all
Speaker 6: these other places. What's the problem with us. And Universal
Speaker 6: is saying, now, there's a bunch of things that we
Speaker 6: got to discuss. We have to discuss. You can't take
Speaker 6: out our artists off and use AI. There's a couple
Speaker 6: of things that they want and they won't approve using
Speaker 6: the artists until these things are taken care of. TikTok
Speaker 6: is saying, you guys just want the money. You guys
Speaker 6: are just saying you're an artist first agreement, but clearly
Speaker 6: you guys just want more money and more situations in
Speaker 6: a more benefit role. And Universal Music Group is saying, no,
Speaker 6: that's not the case. We want to protect our artists
Speaker 6: and protect our music.
Speaker 9: So I don't believe that I believe that they're fighting
Speaker 9: over who can make the most money. I don't think
Speaker 9: the artists in that question at all. I think TikTok
Speaker 9: is like, we want to make all the money. Universe
Speaker 9: is like, we want to make all the money. And
Speaker 9: I don't hear the artists being mentioned in that at
Speaker 9: I'm shocked that they even said that at the end
Speaker 9: while looking out for the artists.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that.
Speaker 6: Now. Their demands include protection against AI generated recordings, online
Speaker 6: safety issues for user, and higher conversation for its artists
Speaker 6: and songwriters.
Speaker 9: That's what Universal is asking for. I'll tell you something else,
Speaker 9: and this is just me talking. I don't know anything
Speaker 9: about this, you know, I have no facts of proof
Speaker 9: to back this up, because it seems to me that
Speaker 9: most of these kids would rather be on TikTok more
Speaker 9: than record labels nowadays anyway, because TikTok is breaking so
Speaker 9: many records.
Speaker 6: TikTok breaks more records than labels do. And that's that's
Speaker 6: what they've been saying. That's what the labels are saying,
Speaker 6: Like TikTok is almost like a music platform where people
Speaker 6: hear music, and since they're playing music, we got to
Speaker 6: protect our artists, make sure they can't do AI generated things,
Speaker 6: make sure that the conversation is better because you hear
Speaker 6: it all the time that somebody a stream or or
Speaker 6: it'd be so many millions of download and they'll make
Speaker 6: twenty dollars. So they're trying to make sure that the
Speaker 6: artist accountisation labels.
Speaker 9: If I own my music right and I'm already getting
Speaker 9: paid off my music and I'm using TikTok as a
Speaker 9: distribution platform, wow, I'd rather be on TikTok and just
Speaker 9: getting people my music as opposed to signing to a
Speaker 9: label then letting the label put it on TikTok and
Speaker 9: then the label.
Speaker 2: Out and go right to TikTok. That's true, That is true?
Speaker 6: All right, well that is your rumor reports. Now, Chelamann,
Speaker 6: who are giving your donkey two?
Speaker 9: You know for Donkey of the Day to day? I
Speaker 9: need some crowd participation, Okay. The reason I need crow
Speaker 9: participation I want to go to breakfast club Court after
Speaker 9: Donkey of the Day and I want to decide who
Speaker 9: is going to get Donkey of the day.
Speaker 2: Will it be Starbucks?
Speaker 9: Okay, the place that so many of us love, you
Speaker 9: know when we go there all the time with chestnut preleine,
Speaker 9: frappuccinos and peppermint mocha frappuccinos, and dragon pepper white chocolate mochas,
Speaker 9: and yeah, dragonfly elimonade, Dragon Fraggon ball Z lemonade. Now
Speaker 9: all of that type of stuff are Will it be
Speaker 9: an employee who I think was unjustly fired from Starbucks?
Speaker 6: We'll discuss. Okay, we'll discuss. All right, we'll get to
Speaker 6: that next. And don't move.
Speaker 3: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your
Speaker 3: mornings will never be the same. Some donkey to days

Speaker 9: Yes, our amazing Breakfast Club listeners, the millions of you
Speaker 9: who listen to us daily, you will get to decide
Speaker 9: today who gets the biggest he hall. You will get
Speaker 9: to decide who gets the credit they deserve for being stupid.
Speaker 2: I personally know who I feel in my heart. You
Speaker 2: get it, But I want you.
Speaker 9: All to hear the story and then we can discuss
Speaker 9: and I'll give the heat haul later. But donkey of
Speaker 9: the day today will go to either a Starbucks in
Speaker 9: Saint Louis. All right, are a twenty year old former
Speaker 9: employee of the Starbucks in Saint Louis, Michael Harris. See,
Speaker 9: Michael Harris was fired from Starbucks in Saint Louis, and
Speaker 9: he is currently suing the whole coffee chain, saying he
Speaker 9: was wrongfully terminated after he confronted robbers at the store.
Speaker 9: Oh my god, No, Now, y'all know how I feel
Speaker 9: about that. These franchises ain't dying for you. Okay, somebody
Speaker 9: coming there and rob the star Let him have it,
Speaker 9: all right, it ain't yours.
Speaker 2: They pull out a pistol here, man, you can have
Speaker 2: all the pistachiol, frappucino, blended beverages you want, all right here.
Speaker 9: Take the get cards at the counter. You want a
Speaker 9: couple dollars out the register, you can take that too.
Speaker 9: Just gone about your business, all right? You nucked, and
Speaker 9: I ain't about to buck over. No, damn Starbucks are
Speaker 9: any fast food a retail chain for that matter.
Speaker 2: I'm making minimum wage. Okay.
Speaker 9: By the way, I don't care if you're a store
Speaker 9: manager making a salary. I'm not dying over no white
Speaker 9: chocolate mocha frappucino blended beverage.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 9: Now there is exceptions to the rule because sometimes you
Speaker 9: are not defending the star you have to yourself. And
Speaker 9: if you ask me, Michael Harris was in a position
Speaker 9: we had to defend himself. Let's go to NBC five
Speaker 9: on your side for the report.
Speaker 2: Police.
Speaker 26: I thought I was gonna die that day. They walked
Speaker 26: in announced that it was a robbery.
Speaker 27: Twenty year old Michael Harris was working the drive through
Speaker 27: here at the Starbucks on South Grand in Midtown.
Speaker 26: Then they started going up to people and firsteing them
Speaker 26: for stuff, and.
Speaker 2: We started to fight back against him, he says.
Speaker 27: When the two men then demanded cash from the register,
Speaker 27: he tried to open it, he says. One of the
Speaker 27: bad guys then hit him on the head with the gun.
Speaker 27: He tells me he felt emboldened to stand his ground,
Speaker 27: especially when he realized the gun he had just been
Speaker 27: attacked with was faith.
Speaker 6: Trigger for it like came busted off.
Speaker 26: And then that's when we noticed us and started to
Speaker 26: fight back.
Speaker 27: Not knowing if the crooks had another gun, Harris said
Speaker 27: he wanted to be careful. Eventually, one of the crooks
Speaker 27: took off. Harris and another coworker were able to restrain
Speaker 27: the other until police could get there. Weeks after the situation,
Speaker 27: Harris says he got a callated me.
Speaker 2: Damn, b you can bring it in here. You can
Speaker 2: bring the chaps to get in my lipso goddamn dry.
Speaker 2: First rule of nature is self preservation, okay. Michael Harris
Speaker 2: said he felt like he was gonna die that day.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 9: Michael Harris said he felt like he was gonna die
Speaker 9: that day. Michael Harris got hitting the head with the
Speaker 9: fake gun, so his blood was probably boiling, Okay. He
Speaker 9: was probably enraged, and then he realized the gun was
Speaker 9: fake because he noticed the trigger had fell off, so
Speaker 9: he sprung into action. Now I don't know if he's
Speaker 9: sprung in the action because he was trying to get
Speaker 9: his look back for getting hit with the gun. I
Speaker 9: don't know if he still felt like his life was
Speaker 9: in danger. I don't know if he was defending Starbucks.
Speaker 9: I just know he was fired weeks later and never
Speaker 9: given the reason as to why now a lot of
Speaker 9: these franchises like Starbucks have protocols in place, then sure
Speaker 9: things like this don't happen. In fact, Starbucks said about
Speaker 9: this incident that all employees are expected to follow are
Speaker 9: carefully crafted protocols to ensure the safety of customers and
Speaker 9: partners during these situations. Starbucks says, in situations like this,
Speaker 9: our training and protocols guide our partners to comply and
Speaker 9: de escalate, not just for their safety, but for the
Speaker 9: safety of all in the store, the safety of our
Speaker 9: customers and partners. But guess what the Home of the
Speaker 9: Caramel Apple Spice doesn't teach you. What's the proper procedure
Speaker 9: when you got a gun into your head?
Speaker 28: What the fucking precision when you got a gun in
Speaker 28: your head?
Speaker 9: Michael Harrison in the Turne he said Starbucks policy is unfair.
Speaker 9: Their statement there is no way that an individual can
Speaker 9: be faced with danger, attempted potential death for themselves or
Speaker 9: another and then once they've been hit or down that
Speaker 9: they cannot defend themselves. Linard agrees, Okay, you have to
Speaker 9: factor in human emotions to all of this. Michael is
Speaker 9: a young twenty year old man who felt like his
Speaker 9: life was in danger. You can't be upset at him
Speaker 9: for fighting back when he thinks he's getting robbed at
Speaker 9: gunpoint and then he gets hit in the head with
Speaker 9: a gun. In fact, he shouldn't be fired. He should
Speaker 9: be employee of the month. He should be promoted the manager.
Speaker 9: Let him get unlimited sugar cookie, almond milk frappuccinos. This
Speaker 9: man earned that in much more. I believe if Michael
Speaker 9: would have said he was fighting for the store and
Speaker 9: not himself, he probably would still be employed today. But
Speaker 9: I told you we're going to go to breakfast club court.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 9: You heard the facts of the case, You've heard the situation.
Speaker 9: So who should get the biggest he hal here? Michael plas, Yeah,
Speaker 9: play him, get the breakfast to Michael for not following
Speaker 9: store protocols even though his life was in danger. Are
Speaker 9: Starbucks for allegedly firing Michael for not following store protocols?
Speaker 9: Once again, who should get the biggest he haul here?
Speaker 9: Michael for not following store protocols even though his life
Speaker 9: was in danger. Are Starbucks for allegedly firing Michael for
Speaker 9: not following store protocols even though his life was in danger.
Speaker 9: I don't usually agree with employees playing hero when stares
Speaker 9: they work at get robbed. But this was more than that.
Speaker 9: This was a man defending himself because he was working
Speaker 9: in a franchise that got robbed. There is a difference.
Speaker 9: Let's discuss, all right.
Speaker 6: Let's open up the phone lines eight hundred and five
Speaker 6: eighty five, one oh five one. Now, the reason most
Speaker 6: store owners are don't want people to apprehend shoplift. This
Speaker 6: is because they are not insured to risk their health physically,
Speaker 6: all right, So if something happens, they don't want to
Speaker 6: be liable. If you die, they don't want to be liable.
Speaker 6: But Charlemagne said something very specific. The man was hit
Speaker 6: over the head with the guns defending himself. So now
Speaker 6: it's not a robbery.
Speaker 8: This is an.
Speaker 6: Assault in his self preservation, and I have to defend
Speaker 6: myself first law nature, self preservation. He wasn't defending that
Speaker 6: store at that time. He was defending that head.
Speaker 21: Pause pause, woo woo woo woo woo.
Speaker 2: God, Mad Mac, where's your whip?
Speaker 25: Mac?
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ? Mad back? Come on Mac, where's the need
Speaker 2: that I'm going home?
Speaker 6: Got hit over the No, no, no, bro, God call
Speaker 6: us up now.
Speaker 2: Let's just because your brain working that way.
Speaker 6: The Breakfast Club, right, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Its topic time called eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 3: five one to join it to the discussion with the
Speaker 3: breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlemagne, the God. We are
Speaker 6: the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us. Charlemagne is
Speaker 6: trying to decide if he should give donkeys a data who.
Speaker 9: Well, here's the thing. Michael Harris twenty years old. He
Speaker 9: was an employee of Starbucks.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 9: He got fired from Starbucks because people came in there
Speaker 9: to rob the store. One of the guys hit him
Speaker 9: over the head with the gun, and he realized that
Speaker 9: the gun was fake because he saw the trigger fall.
Speaker 9: But he defended himself, correct, right, So weeks later Starbucks
Speaker 9: fired him.
Speaker 2: So now Michael Harris is suing Starbucks. Now.
Speaker 9: Usually I am totally against people fighting, you know, robbers
Speaker 9: when they come in to rob the places that they
Speaker 9: work at, because we know that none of these establishments,
Speaker 9: these chained retail stores, we know they ain't dying for you,
Speaker 9: so you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Die for them.
Speaker 9: But this is a different case. This man was not
Speaker 9: defending Starbucks. He was defending himself. The first law of nature,
Speaker 9: his self preservation got hitting the head with a gun.
Speaker 9: Once he realized the gun was fake, he went and
Speaker 9: made his move. That's not mad at that. I don't
Speaker 9: think he should be fired, but it's not up to me.
Speaker 9: It's up to the people. All right, that's coming to
Speaker 9: I don't think he should be Donkey to day, but
Speaker 9: it's not to mean.
Speaker 2: It's up to people. Hello, who's this Hi?
Speaker 24: This is Laobi.
Speaker 6: Hey Laomi, good morning, Good morning. Now you heard the story.
Speaker 6: Do you think Michael should get Donkey or Starbucks?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 20: I think it depends on you know what race is Michael, because.
Speaker 7: He is like you know of the talkaboy race.
Speaker 17: And he said that did it, and he said.
Speaker 6: The mind his business, and he said, let whatever.
Speaker 20: Happen and fall on the poor and just let this
Speaker 20: guys do.
Speaker 7: When he was sposed to now as he was black.
Speaker 28: Starbus old him an apology and he needs his drop
Speaker 28: back period because.
Speaker 6: His black history. So he's black. Yes, queen queenstand what
Speaker 6: you're saying.
Speaker 2: That is ridiculous. But he that is beyond ridiculous.
Speaker 4: It's not about what his race was, yes, it does.
Speaker 2: It's about right or wrong in this situation. Black, oh,
Speaker 2: white man? How about the people who robbed him was black?
Speaker 6: How about that?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 28: If he was robbed and he was black, you riding
Speaker 28: with him?
Speaker 2: It don't matter about the races?
Speaker 6: Her opinion and you you said the people this deside.
Speaker 2: She'd be disqualified from the jury. That's racist.
Speaker 9: That's number one. Yes, that would be she'd be disqualified
Speaker 9: from the damn jury. Okay, matter of fact, she is
Speaker 9: a qualified listening to her.

Speaker 18: He blessed up where he had led.
Speaker 16: It.
Speaker 18: Ain't realized that was.
Speaker 6: Fa so he said there was no red threat at
Speaker 6: that point.
Speaker 18: At that point, there was no redder threat, just like
Speaker 18: you were speaking on a few weeks ago where somebody
Speaker 18: got their back. R Yeah, there's no reasonless fire.
Speaker 6: You're no long that day.
Speaker 9: Well, listen, you've seen like a BB gun before, you

Speaker 19: Starbucks? Because they're not about to pay for that man center,
Speaker 19: and so he had to do what he had to
Speaker 19: do to keep his life.
Speaker 6: That's right, Okay, thank you man, have problem know?
Speaker 9: Okay, So currently we got one for Michael, one for Starbucks,
Speaker 9: and one disqualified juror because she made it about race,
Speaker 9: and I don't know why.
Speaker 6: Eight hundred five eighty five one five. When we come back,
Speaker 6: we're gonna take some more calls. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Good morning morning, everybody at CJ and Bean. Charlamagne the guy.
Speaker 6: We are to Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us.
Speaker 6: Charlamage is trying to decide who he wants to give
Speaker 6: donkey to get it, Starbucks or Michael.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 9: Now, let me explain the situation. Michael Harris was an
Speaker 9: employee at Starbucks in Saint Louis. Some guys came in
Speaker 9: there to rob the Starbucks in Saint Louis. One of
Speaker 9: the guys hit Michael in the head with a gun.
Speaker 2: Then Michael realized that the gun was faked because he
Speaker 2: saw the trigger fall off. So Michael decided to defend
Speaker 2: himself and he fought back against the robber.
Speaker 9: You know, and now weeks later, Starbucks has fired him,
Speaker 9: and Michael believes he got fired because he didn't follow
Speaker 9: their protocol, which is to comply and de escalate in
Speaker 9: situations like that. But I feel like the first law
Speaker 9: of nature is self preservation. You gotta in human emotion,
Speaker 9: somebody think that their life is about to be taken.
Speaker 9: They get hitting the head with a gun. I don't
Speaker 9: have a problem with the young man defended himself in
Speaker 9: that situation.
Speaker 2: Hello, who's this Malcolm? Malcolm?
Speaker 6: What's up? Brother? What's your thoughts? Malcolm should get Donkey?
Speaker 6: Should it be Starbucks or Michael? Listen?
Speaker 7: I think both of them should get it. Be honest
Speaker 7: with you, explain all right, Listen. I used to manage restaurrounds. Man,
Speaker 7: I used to manage the Burger King.
Speaker 2: We got proud.
Speaker 7: But I feel like I feel like Starbucks should be
Speaker 7: smart enough to know that he wasn't defending Starbucks at
Speaker 7: the time.
Speaker 2: He was defending himself.
Speaker 18: Starbucks.
Speaker 7: They need to know that right off the back.
Speaker 6: So then why is he getting dunky Good?
Speaker 7: He gotta get Dunky because he needs to know if
Speaker 7: these dudes got guns drawn who regardless if you think
Speaker 7: it's fake or not, you gotta take that lost because
Speaker 7: you don't know if they got.
Speaker 18: Another one or what's going on.
Speaker 7: That's trying to sit there and take that.
Speaker 2: I thought about that too, Like.
Speaker 7: They both got to share this and they need to
Speaker 7: go somewhere and talk about it, and both of them
Speaker 7: just be dounky and just living their.
Speaker 2: Life like that.
Speaker 6: Okay, Hello, who's this.

Speaker 9: law nature. And I feel like if he would have

Speaker 9: you still get you got to defend yourself. First law
Speaker 9: nature is self preservation. I'm not mad at the brother,

Speaker 8: Yeah, it makes you feel Yeah.
Speaker 2: So who's miss Smith from the movie?
Speaker 6: Miss Smith is Maya Erskine? I don't know who that is.
Speaker 6: Maya Erskine is Miss Smith.
Speaker 2: Wells black white with doctor Wumar proof is.
Speaker 10: What is it? Is it?
Speaker 6: Did you just disqualify that lady for asking about race?
Speaker 2: So that was ridiculous. That was just that made no
Speaker 2: sense what she was asking. I'm just asking.
Speaker 6: Let me look at up. Maya Erskine is. Okay, Well,
Speaker 6: she's not black, she's Asian. She's Asian. She's an American. Actually, yes,
Speaker 6: she's Asian.
Speaker 2: Okay, doctoring my witness proof. No, Okay, are they actually
Speaker 2: married in the movie.
Speaker 6: I just haven't seen have well in the old movie
Speaker 6: they are married. This movie, I'm assuming they would be married.
Speaker 2: Man, doctor whom I about to do a video about
Speaker 2: mister Missus Smith, Doctor Umar missed and Missus Smith review
Speaker 2: is coming soon.
Speaker 6: It's coming soon to an Instagram. Jesus Christ. Now hit boy,
Speaker 6: you know hit Boy producer. He did Niggas in Paris,
Speaker 6: he did click Kanye West, he did backseat Freestyle, Kendrick
Speaker 6: Lamar and a host of others bowed down for Beyonce
Speaker 6: flooryless jealous, haunted, but he talks about producers being underpaid.
Speaker 29: I want to empower to like produce a community because
Speaker 29: like even looking at some of my OG's and legends
Speaker 29: that I might know, the average person might not even
Speaker 29: know who somebody that I know is an amazing human being,
Speaker 29: an amazing talent.
Speaker 6: They don't even know who the thing is.
Speaker 29: Because history of this is the face is the.
Speaker 6: One who's doing it.
Speaker 29: Like I just chopped up a sample in front of
Speaker 29: you right now, and like won't even see that process
Speaker 29: at all. Here a song that ever is rapping over
Speaker 29: it and be like, oh WHOOPI whoop sampled that song
Speaker 29: when it's really hit boy sampled, you know what I mean?
Speaker 29: They gonna just put it on the artists. And that's
Speaker 29: because it's like the face value. And it's just like
Speaker 29: producers get played, bro. I know other producers that's popping,
Speaker 29: that's complaining about albums that dropped months ago that we
Speaker 29: none of us got paid off of these out here
Speaker 29: touring making millions of dollars, bro, And we're trying to
Speaker 29: beg the label to pass a Measley fee.
Speaker 9: I really wish more people would follow the Nas and
Speaker 9: hip boy formula, right, because that's a formula that you know,
Speaker 9: a lot of us grew up on when it was
Speaker 9: like the Snoop Doggs and the Doctor Dre. Like one
Speaker 9: one artist locked in with a producer for a whole
Speaker 9: project and what him and NAS did, you know, was incredible, incredible.
Speaker 2: He's a three time Grammy win It's loot the hit
Speaker 2: Boy for that. I think he's nominated. He's nominated though,
Speaker 2: this is some Grammys this year too as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: again because the NOWS album is nominated.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I do like when when producers locking, but I
Speaker 6: also like when artists get different producers, right. I like
Speaker 6: when when Jay has the ability to work work with Timberland,
Speaker 6: Pharrell Primo, and then he'll work with Doctor Dre and
Speaker 6: then he'll work with Hit Boy.
Speaker 10: I like.
Speaker 6: I like the fact that they're able to work in
Speaker 6: different things, but but.
Speaker 9: Out when they're when they're when they're together locked in,
Speaker 9: it's just a more cohesive project most of the time.
Speaker 10: It is.
Speaker 9: You know, you think about those Wu tang Riza albums,
Speaker 9: you know, those those those Death Row Doctor Dre produced albums.
Speaker 6: It was their sound like when they're locked in with
Speaker 6: one producer. To me, it's a more cohesive project. And
Speaker 6: I will say with producers that there was a time
Speaker 6: when producers were eating so much, back in the older
Speaker 6: Timberland days and the Swiss Beats days, Like these producers
Speaker 6: were getting two fifty a record, five hundred thousand record,
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty thousand record. Back then, it seemed
Speaker 6: like it veered off a lot. But back in the day,
Speaker 6: they used to stick these artists up absolutely positively. Lastly,
Speaker 6: Candice Owens, she was on her podcast, The Canvas Own Podcast,
Speaker 6: and she wanted to discuss a new record and it
Speaker 6: was Ice Spices Fart.
Speaker 28: Ice Spice recently released a song. It's called Think You
Speaker 28: the Fart. Yeah, I'm sorry, that's the title of a song.
Speaker 28: It's called think You Fart? And if you're wondering whether
Speaker 28: or not it's a good song, what do you think?
Speaker 28: It's called think You the Fart? Now, I think we
Speaker 28: can all admit that we've fallen as a society. I mean,
Speaker 28: I wouldn't say that that was Mozart or Beethoven, but
Speaker 28: I'm not All of these mainstream media publications that routinely
Speaker 28: rushed to defend this kind of music, similar to what
Speaker 28: they did with rock the most disgusting and filthiest lyrics
Speaker 28: I've ever read Here is hotnew hip hop dot com.
Speaker 28: Rushing to defend this, I Spice employees direct and unapologetic
Speaker 28: language to establish dominance over her peers, touching on the
Speaker 28: themes of wealth, physical appeal, and personal prowess. I just
Speaker 28: want to live in a society where we can all
Speaker 28: acknowledge that a song that's entitled think You the Fart
Speaker 28: is in fact itself a part.
Speaker 17: Ay man.
Speaker 9: You know it ain't for me. Man, I'm forty five
Speaker 9: years old. I was born in nineteen hundred and seventy
Speaker 9: eight year Okay for me, all right, I will say
Speaker 9: this right, I ain't saying nothing.
Speaker 6: I A for me.
Speaker 2: I ain't got nothing to say about that.
Speaker 6: Since twenty three, she just turned twenty four.
Speaker 9: She's doing her she's young, she's doing her that she's
Speaker 9: she's making the best possible art that she can, and
Speaker 9: you know, people are eating it up.
Speaker 6: Candae Owens is thirty four years old. Of course she's
Speaker 6: not going to get ice spices far, but there's a
Speaker 6: generation of kids that nobody to get a.
Speaker 2: Nice fart I hope wit Spice would have the coof
Speaker 2: to not fart around people.
Speaker 6: Bro, they love the song. Fart like this song is
Speaker 6: a catchy song. He kids like the song. They do
Speaker 6: like this song.
Speaker 9: Listen, everybody, everybody tie it to their opinion because you
Speaker 9: don't like it. That's just the truth of the matter.
Speaker 9: But I don't neither do I. But I know that
Speaker 9: it ain't for me.
Speaker 6: But as a DJ, I will play it in the
Speaker 6: club and I will play it because it's what the
Speaker 6: people like.
Speaker 9: Or how do you announce it when you're on the
Speaker 9: microphone at the party, New Ice Pice far God, yeah,
Speaker 9: candas one's right, we fall into society, y'all. There's a
Speaker 9: great move we called idiocracy, right, And if you watch Idiocracy,
Speaker 9: there's a scene in the movie where, like the I mean, yeah,
Speaker 9: there's a scene in the movie where the biggest movie
Speaker 9: of the moment is a movie called ass right, And
Speaker 9: it's literally just a man's ass on the screen, a
Speaker 9: pale white ass, and the ass is just foughting every
Speaker 9: now and then, and everybody's laughing and dying.
Speaker 6: They ass off.
Speaker 9: That's what they said. They said, when I said last
Speaker 9: week when we were playing fought every hour on the hour.
Speaker 9: I was like, it feels like we're in a spoof.
Speaker 6: But that's what they were saying farthest funny to people
Speaker 6: like it.
Speaker 2: It ain't for me. I was born in nineteen hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy eight. Okay, that's not for me.
Speaker 6: Big Sean did a record called ass ass As.
Speaker 2: Shut up. It's not the same. There's between the ass
Speaker 2: what comes out that ass.
Speaker 9: Okay, maybe she should have named it something else, something cuter,
Speaker 9: like poop, like Poot's a cuter, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Fought This sounds hard, but she says, you're.
Speaker 6: Not the ish. You're not even a poop.
Speaker 2: But it could still have the same lyrics. Maybe there's
Speaker 2: a different title.
Speaker 6: You not the issue, not even a breaking win, the issue,
Speaker 6: not even breaking win, backfire. You're not the issue. You're
Speaker 6: not even Maybe gas, that's what it should have been
Speaker 6: called Gas should have been.
Speaker 2: No, I ain't say change the layer. I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: if you just changed the title.
Speaker 6: You can't.
Speaker 9: You know, gas, you gotta go all the way, gotta
Speaker 9: be a different package. You're gonna give me lyrics like that,
Speaker 9: give me a different packaging, different that's all. But I'm
Speaker 9: not here to critique her. She's a young girl and
Speaker 9: she's making the best possible art that she can.
Speaker 2: It's not for me. If you like fart, that is on.
Speaker 8: You do your thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm wrong, wrong?

Speaker 9: Didn't Know Maybe you didn't either. It comes out daily
Speaker 9: on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network, and today I
Speaker 9: will be playing his first episode, and we're gonna talk
Speaker 9: about the history of swimming pools in America.
Speaker 2: We'll discuss when we come back.
Speaker 6: All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Good morning, warning everybody, it's DJ NV Charlamagne de Goud.
Speaker 6: We are the Breakfast Club's Black History Month. The first
Speaker 6: day of Black History.
Speaker 9: Month, First day of Black History Month, man, and I
Speaker 9: gotta sleute my guyb Dot. You know, every day during
Speaker 9: Black History Month. We have a podcast called I Didn't Know,
Speaker 9: Maybe you didn't either. It's a daily podcast hosted by
Speaker 9: b Dot where every day during Black History Month, he
Speaker 9: will tell you some things about black history that you
Speaker 9: didn't know. And today he's gonna talk to you about
Speaker 9: swimming pools in the history of swimming pools in America.
Speaker 25: Let's go be Dot, Yo, what's happening, and welcome to
Speaker 25: season three. If I didn't know, maybe you didn't either.
Speaker 25: I'm your host b Dot. This season, my goal is
Speaker 25: to connect the dots and show how some of the
Speaker 25: same atrocities were faced in the.
Speaker 8: Enslavement periods we experience today.
Speaker 25: Like that white lady that poured a bottle of soda
Speaker 25: on the head of eleven year old Jason Lee Yuri
Speaker 25: in Greensboro.
Speaker 2: North Carolina last year.
Speaker 8: Did you hear about that?
Speaker 25: Sixty two year old Kim Jennings She approached eleven year
Speaker 25: old Jason Lee Yuri and his eight year old sister
Speaker 25: Jayla and poured soda on the top of his head
Speaker 25: for swimming in the apartment complex pool. After pouring soda
Speaker 25: on his head, she punched him in the face with
Speaker 25: the can and then proceeded to douse him with the
Speaker 25: remaining contents in the camp. Of course, once the video
Speaker 25: went viral, she released an apology. She was arrested on
Speaker 25: two council simple assault, and the parents they filed a
Speaker 25: federal discrimination lawsuit. They being represented by Ben Krump, Jason Keith,
Speaker 25: and Harry Daniels. So you know we're gonna get some results.
Speaker 25: But historically black folks being mistreated by white folks at
Speaker 25: swimming pools.
Speaker 8: It's been heavily.
Speaker 25: Documented white folks never wanted us at the swimming pools.
Speaker 25: Like first, late nineteenth and early twentieth century, pools were
Speaker 25: built in white neighborhoods only, and they were segregated by gender.
Speaker 8: Men and women couldn't be in the same pool. By
Speaker 8: the nineteen twenties and.
Speaker 25: Thirties, it was a pool building spree all over the
Speaker 25: United States, literally thousands and thousands of pools, some of
Speaker 25: them was bigger than football fields, but they were extremely segregated,
Speaker 25: to the point where black folks would get violently beaten
Speaker 25: down just for trying to access the pools.
Speaker 8: And it was primarily for two reasons.
Speaker 25: One racist assumptions that black people were dirtier than white people,
Speaker 25: and two gender integration. See, most whites didn't want black
Speaker 25: men in particular to have access to white women as
Speaker 25: such an intimate public space. Once desegregation hit in the sixties,
Speaker 25: we were introduce to white flight. Now, white flight is
Speaker 25: when white folks stopped going to the public pools and
Speaker 25: build private.
Speaker 8: Pools, club pools, or just pools that they crib. And
Speaker 8: white flight is a real thing.
Speaker 25: It's been used to describe the phenomenon of when a
Speaker 25: neighborhood would become racially integrated. See when a black family
Speaker 25: would move into a neighborhood that had been all white,
Speaker 25: large numbers of white families would move right on out.
Speaker 6: Look the day.
Speaker 25: Pick the story, whether it was the nineteen fifty seven
Speaker 25: swimming pools show down in Monroe, North Carolina with the
Speaker 25: black folks versus the Klan. That story is eloquently documented
Speaker 25: in the book Negroes with Guns, Or you can pick
Speaker 25: nineteen sixty four when James Brock dumb acid in the
Speaker 25: pool at the Monson Motor Lodge in Saint Augustine, Florida,
Speaker 25: just to try to keep black folks from swimming in
Speaker 25: his pools. Or just last year in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 25: when Kim Jennings poured soda on and assaulted an eleven
Speaker 25: year old black boy, jace Lee Yuri, in front of
Speaker 25: his eight year old sister, Jayla, in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Speaker 8: She says he was trespassing.
Speaker 25: We'll discuss how trespassing relates to them enslave periods in
Speaker 25: episode three oh eight.
Speaker 2: But the moral of the story is this.
Speaker 25: Fifty eight percent of black kids can't swim, and there's
Speaker 25: been a historical hatred for black folks and swimming pools
Speaker 25: since the very first public swimming pool was built in Boston, Massachusetts,
Speaker 25: in eighteen sixty eight.
Speaker 8: And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
Speaker 9: No, all right, salutabidott falutabidt man. Make sure you subscribe
Speaker 9: to I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. On the
