- 3:53Speaker 8: claimed he received more votes from black Americans than any
- 3:56Speaker 8: other Republican president ever, while jokingly asking the crowd he
- 4:00Speaker 8: should run again.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Now.
- 4:01Speaker 8: The ceremony comes as the administration has been cracking down
- 4:03Speaker 8: on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, with Trump issuing an
- 4:07Speaker 8: executive order last month ending the federal government's DEI programs.
- 4:11Speaker 7: Now.
- 4:11Speaker 8: Following that that order, the Department of Defense also came
- 4:14Speaker 8: out with guidance declaring Identity months dead, so there will
- 4:18Speaker 8: be no Pride Month, no Black History Month. But Trump
- 4:20Speaker 8: was joined on stage by golf legend Tiger Woods as
- 4:24Speaker 8: a as well as several prominent black.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Tiger Woods stop being black. I thought Tiger Wood never
- 4:28Speaker 3: wanted to be black. I thought he was comblination. Yo.
- 4:30Speaker 6: They said, if he blame, why can't be black?
- 4:34Speaker 9: Listen?
- 4:34Speaker 8: Okay, So Tiger Woods was there, Several other black prominent
- 4:37Speaker 8: figures were there.
- 4:38Speaker 7: Supposedly Kodak Black.
- 4:42Speaker 6: Kodak was there.
- 4:43Speaker 10: Koa q.
- 4:46Speaker 7: I was gonna say he pardoned them. So there's that.
- 4:48Speaker 8: But let's take a listen to Trump's remarks during the
- 4:50Speaker 8: Black History Months ceremony at the White House.
- 4:53Speaker 11: Today, we paid tribute to the generations of black legends, champions, warriors,
- 4:58Speaker 11: and patriots who helped drive our country forward to greatness.
- 5:02Speaker 3: And you really are.
- 5:03Speaker 11: Great, great people, What a great, nice group of I.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Have some people in front of me every once in

- 5:20Speaker 11: I can tell you that. And we're making them nice rapidly.
- 5:24Speaker 7: What making them nice and making them nice rapidly.
- 5:27Speaker 8: So during his speech, he also spoke about the Garden
- 5:29Speaker 8: of Heroes, which is located along the National Mall, saying
- 5:33Speaker 8: the space will be the new home to statues, bus plaques,
- 5:36Speaker 8: and other markers celebrating heroic figures in American history. Of course,
- 5:40Speaker 8: that includes some iconic black figures that t hear more
- 5:43Speaker 8: from Trump on the Garden of Heroes.
- 5:45Speaker 11: The garden will predominantly feature incredible women like Harriet Tubman,
- 5:51Speaker 11: Rosa Parks, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, and Coretta Scott King,
- 5:57Speaker 11: and I will showcase extraordinary. It will be something very extraordinary.
- 6:02Speaker 11: It's gonna be producing. We're going to produce some of
- 6:06Speaker 11: the most beautiful works of art in the form of
- 6:08Speaker 11: a statue for men like Frederick Douglas, Booker, T. Washington,
- 6:12Speaker 11: Jackie Jackie Robinson. What a great athlete that was, Martin
- 6:17Speaker 11: Luther King Jr. Muhammad Ali usually not a bad athlete.
- 6:22Speaker 3: What do you think?
- 6:23Speaker 11: Muhammad not too bad? And the late Kobe Bryant. People
- 6:28Speaker 11: love Colby.
- 6:31Speaker 7: You guys his thoughts.
- 6:38Speaker 3: All right.
- 6:38Speaker 7: So that's the Black History Month ceremony at the White House.
- 6:42Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 6:43Speaker 8: Uh so this comes at the same time the wild
- 6:45Speaker 8: White House is marking one month officially since President Trump
- 6:48Speaker 8: has been back in office. Officials touted accomplishments in immigration
- 6:52Speaker 8: and the economy achieved by Trump since its inauguration. Let's
- 6:55Speaker 8: hear more from White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt and
- 6:59Speaker 8: White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller with more
- 7:03Speaker 8: comments about the president's first month in office.
- 7:06Speaker 3: Today marks one month of President Trump's return to the
- 7:10Speaker 3: oval office, and there is no denying this administration is
- 7:14Speaker 3: off to a historic start.
- 7:16Speaker 12: No president comes close to what Donald Trump has achieved
- 7:19Speaker 12: over just the last thirty days. He has packed eight
- 7:23Speaker 12: years of transformative action, restoring this nation, restoring our laws,
- 7:29Speaker 12: restoring fairness, restoring economic opportunity, restoring national security.
- 7:34Speaker 7: Restoring is relative depending on who you are.
- 7:37Speaker 8: But the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett and CEO
- 7:41Speaker 8: said CEO confidence is that it's highest it's been in years.
- 7:45Speaker 8: National Security Advisor Mike Walls also noted that the US
- 7:47Speaker 8: has been in a c change in its foreign policy
- 7:50Speaker 8: since Trump's return to office. So what do you guys think.
- 7:53Speaker 8: I mean, it's been a month. We've seen a lot.
- 7:55Speaker 8: There's been a lot of executive orders that have come down.
- 7:57Speaker 8: A lot of those have also been blocked.
- 8:00Speaker 3: It's just been a lot of chaos and a lot
- 8:01Speaker 3: of mess over the past month, especially in regards to
- 8:04Speaker 3: what Dolge is doing. But you know what, you asked
- 8:06Speaker 3: us something earlier, You asked us what we thought about, uh,
- 8:08Speaker 3: his White House? What it was? It was the honoring
- 8:10Speaker 3: Black Christry month with the White House, and it did
- 8:12Speaker 3: just come to me. I'm not impressed by any of
- 8:15Speaker 3: that symbolism from any president, regardless of what party they're from. Democrat,
- 8:20Speaker 3: are Republican, like the statues you know in the garden.
- 8:23Speaker 3: That's cool, but I want something. I always want something
- 8:25Speaker 3: tangible for the black community, like plant some money trees
- 8:29Speaker 3: in the black community, plant some money trees in the hood.
- 8:31Speaker 3: That's what That's what my mind is always at when
- 8:33Speaker 3: it comes to when you ask me that. That's why
- 8:34Speaker 3: I was just like, I don't. I don't think anything
- 8:35Speaker 3: of it because I'm never impressed by symbolism from any party,
- 8:40Speaker 3: just statues. Okay, I'm not mad at the statues though,
- 8:43Speaker 3: I'm not mad at that, but that ain't what is that?
- 8:45Speaker 2: Okay. The reason I say I'm not mad at that
- 8:47Speaker 2: is is because if you are ever a child and
- 8:49Speaker 2: you got to tour the White House, you never seen
- 8:51Speaker 2: anything that looked like you. So the fact that you've
- 8:52Speaker 2: seen people that look like you in statues and the
- 8:55Speaker 2: fact that they have Barack Obama and Michelle Obama and
- 8:58Speaker 2: things that look like you, that that reflect where you're from.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I'm not mad at sure, but.
- 9:02Speaker 3: I always want something more for the black community. I
- 9:03Speaker 3: want something tangible. I want you. I want something that's
- 9:06Speaker 3: really going to improve our condition.
- 9:07Speaker 4: And I hope them black kids get there. Because he
- 9:10Speaker 4: don't like to include us and things. You remember, he's
- 9:12Speaker 4: getting ready of DEI everywhere.
- 9:13Speaker 3: And you know, like I said, plants some money trees,
- 9:16Speaker 3: and plants some money trees in the hood, like give
- 9:18Speaker 3: us something tangible that can actually improve our condition. Like
- 9:21Speaker 3: I always say, it was systemic things that you know,
- 9:25Speaker 3: put you know, Black people in the position that we're in.
- 9:27Speaker 3: And it's gonna be systemic things that help us to
- 9:29Speaker 3: get out. So that's where my mind is always that,
- 9:31Speaker 3: regardless of who's in the White House.
- 9:32Speaker 2: All right, And as far as the first thirty days,
- 9:35Speaker 2: Jasmine Cracker to be here next hour, and I'm sure
- 9:37Speaker 2: she'll break down. The first thirty days is very true.

- 14:39Speaker 18: talking to Obama like that, man, Like if y'all really
- 14:41Speaker 18: dissect the whole situation, he wasn't playing at all. Obama
- 14:45Speaker 18: was really just trying to start a conversation with him,
- 14:47Speaker 18: you know what I'm saying, and he took.
- 14:48Speaker 3: It way left, like he did it call Lebrono.
- 14:51Speaker 13: That's why when he called Lebrono where he's like, man, y'all.
- 14:54Speaker 10: Talking to this young man, Like why is he talking
- 14:56Speaker 10: to me like that?
- 14:56Speaker 18: Like that's the first black president, bro like Jeffy but
- 15:01Speaker 18: nah manna man.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Like yeah, listen, Brocca is the first black president. But
- 15:05Speaker 3: he's still a man, and he's an og half a
- 15:08Speaker 3: black man who's also a hooper.
- 15:10Speaker 2: He's a hoop.
- 15:11Speaker 3: He didn't even take nothing.
- 15:12Speaker 2: He didn't even he wasn't even offended by it.
- 15:14Speaker 3: He's a hoop. He actually told Anthony at the end
- 15:16Speaker 3: of the conversation that's how you supposed to feel.
- 15:18Speaker 18: Man, go back to the very end when when he
- 15:20Speaker 18: was telling him good back, Anthony was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 15:24Speaker 18: like completely.
- 15:25Speaker 2: He hops they talking trash to each other.
- 15:29Speaker 3: But you know why though, because Obama little of them.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Here's the thing. You know, if I'm talking to you
- 15:33Speaker 3: right now, I'd be like, oh, I see you got
- 15:35Speaker 3: your little car. You know what I'm saying. I see
- 15:37Speaker 3: you with your little your little your little new sneakers
- 15:39Speaker 3: on Obama hit him with a little Obama a young.
- 15:43Speaker 18: Boy, in my opinion, In my opinion, he was just
- 15:45Speaker 18: trying to start a conversation with a young man like
- 15:48Speaker 18: Charam Layne. How would you feel if your if he
- 15:50Speaker 18: was your son, and your son spoke to the president
- 15:53Speaker 18: like that? Like would you be happy if he spoke
- 15:54Speaker 18: to him that in that kind of way?
- 15:56Speaker 3: And that and that in that context, I would have
- 15:58Speaker 3: no problem with it because they talking basketball, They talking hoops, man,
- 16:01Speaker 3: like what we're talking about here? Like Obama was messing
- 16:04Speaker 3: with him, and Anthony gave him that energy back like
- 16:06Speaker 3: I don't see the problem.
- 16:07Speaker 2: I don't see a problem.
- 16:09Speaker 13: Okay, Okay, we agree to disagreement.
- 16:11Speaker 18: But I love y'all doing. I was listening to y'all
- 16:13Speaker 18: every morning. Man, y'all have a good one.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Yes, this conversation is really silly to me. Obama knew
- 16:18Speaker 3: what he was doing. Obama, That's why Obama was like,
- 16:20Speaker 3: what's up with this guy? All right? Right, y'all got
- 16:23Speaker 3: a little game to him?
- 16:24Speaker 17: Right?
- 16:25Speaker 2: What he's doing about? I would say, I got your
- 16:27Speaker 2: side sneaking in the call. We can go play right now.
- 16:30Speaker 6: In more than any other words, ain't nothing over here,
- 16:32Speaker 6: little at all. You're right, Yeah, I'm good drunk.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Hello, Who's This's DC from Texas?
- 16:39Speaker 3: Man, what's up?
- 16:39Speaker 10: Breadford Blood?
- 16:40Speaker 2: What's up? DC? Get it off his chest?
- 16:41Speaker 3: Brother, Man.
- 16:42Speaker 10: I've just been in in a space and I've been
- 16:44Speaker 10: hearing everybody saying all this stuff, you know, the politics
- 16:47Speaker 10: and everything, and I think if as the black people, man,
- 16:50Speaker 10: we ought to ship ship our energy to trying to
- 16:53Speaker 10: understand and kind of let the stuff play out, man,
- 16:55Speaker 10: because to me, nobody, nobody is happy with what's going on.
- 17:00Speaker 10: And I just I've been in a space where I'm thinking, like,
- 17:02Speaker 10: you know, change is always radical and always looks it
- 17:05Speaker 10: always looks real bad in the beginning, but hopefully eventually,
- 17:08Speaker 10: you know, it'll all shake out, because like you know,
- 17:10Speaker 10: we had President Linde B. Johnson years ago saying I
- 17:13Speaker 10: don't have those in words those Democrats for the next
- 17:15Speaker 10: four hundred years, and now look where we're at with it,
- 17:18Speaker 10: and it's like, you know, sometimes we might need to
- 17:21Speaker 10: do something different just because like we keep getting the
- 17:23Speaker 10: same results with with the other party. And I'm not
- 17:26Speaker 10: I'm not advocating for any party, but I'm just saying,
- 17:28Speaker 10: like in this instance, right now, with all this stuff
- 17:30Speaker 10: going on, I think God shift our focus to not
- 17:33Speaker 10: being so crooical and preparing ourselves to work with what
- 17:36Speaker 10: we have going on because it's here like we can't
- 17:39Speaker 10: change it. Ripen and moaning about it and saying everything
- 17:41Speaker 10: he does is not going to help us out. And
- 17:44Speaker 10: I think our country is isn't a place to where
- 17:46Speaker 10: you know, you can listen to you can you can
- 17:48Speaker 10: tell who's somebody voting for, about what news stations they
- 17:51Speaker 10: walked to, what radio is to do. There's nobody that's
- 17:53Speaker 10: you know, that's that's that's sharing both sides. And I
- 17:56Speaker 10: think that's part of the problem when you just have
- 17:58Speaker 10: one side always talking down about one side to the
- 18:01Speaker 10: other side, you know, right versa. So I just believe
- 18:03Speaker 10: that if we try to, you know, work with what
- 18:06Speaker 10: we got going on, we might can see it a
- 18:08Speaker 10: little more progress.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Hey, I hear you. You know what I'm saying, And
- 18:10Speaker 3: I don't disagree, but I will say this, man, I
- 18:13Speaker 3: don't know what color these federal workers are that are
- 18:15Speaker 3: losing their jobs.
- 18:16Speaker 17: You know.
- 18:17Speaker 3: When I was in Maryland a couple of weeks and
- 18:18Speaker 3: weekends ago for my daughter's cheerleading competition. There was black people,
- 18:21Speaker 3: white people, Asian people walking up to me telling me
- 18:24Speaker 3: how you know, they're losing their job or they potentially
- 18:27Speaker 3: will lose their job. And for me, all I ever
- 18:29Speaker 3: want any government official to do is make sure that
- 18:32Speaker 3: American people got some money in their pocket and to
- 18:35Speaker 3: make sure that they feel safe and secure. You can't
- 18:37Speaker 3: do that when you know you don't you don't have
- 18:39Speaker 3: a job. So that's all that's all I ever care about.
- 18:41Speaker 3: That's right. So when I see these people complaining, it
- 18:44Speaker 3: don't matter to me what race they are, don't matter
- 18:46Speaker 3: to me what party they are. These are people who
- 18:48Speaker 3: can't feed their families. These are people who can't keep
- 18:50Speaker 3: a roof over their head because according to data, fifty
- 18:52Speaker 3: nine percent of Americans are considering one pay check away
- 18:54Speaker 3: from being broke. When you see these tens of thousands
- 18:56Speaker 3: of people losing their jobs, that's what I care about.
- 18:59Speaker 3: I want to fix that. I want to store that down.
- 19:01Speaker 3: I don't want that to happen once again, regardless of
- 19:03Speaker 3: who's in the White House.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
- 19:07Speaker 2: one oh five one. We got just with the mess
- 19:08Speaker 2: coming up, Yes we do.
- 19:09Speaker 4: Angela Bassett is finally speaking out about her viral at
- 19:14Speaker 4: the Oscars in twenty twenty three.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Not a Great time Last night drunk.
- 19:17Speaker 4: Basically, listen, Angela Basket. Is Angela Basket telling y'all about
- 19:22Speaker 4: She's telling y'all leave her alone. Okay, she deserves to
- 19:25Speaker 4: be disappointed. She deserved that Oscar's Friday.
- 19:28Speaker 2: All right, we blame this. Now, let's take you out.
- 19:30Speaker 2: We got to have a conversation with nieces Man. All right,
- 19:32Speaker 2: we'll get to I know what I'm trying to say.
- 19:34Speaker 3: That's what.
- 19:36Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club Board, the Breakfast Club, Good morning,
- 19:42Speaker 1: Everybody's t J n V, Jess hilarious, charlamage, the God
- 19:46Speaker 1: we are the Breakfast Club.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Let's get to Jess with the mess you use.
- 19:49Speaker 7: Is real, whether it's Marius, Jessica, Robbin Moore, just don't do.
- 19:53Speaker 2: No lines, don't do talk Nobody talk.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Them ro why Jess worldwide mass.
- 20:02Speaker 2: On the Breakfast Club.
- 20:03Speaker 3: He's the Coaches Shows with Lauren Lauren Ros. I'm and
- 20:08Speaker 3: I got the mess talked Timmy talk drunkie.
- 20:14Speaker 6: Oh I thought and was going to bring it in
- 20:16Speaker 6: or something. I don't know.
- 20:18Speaker 4: Okay, So Angela, No, I'm not stopped saying that Angela Bassett.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Y'all remember in twenty twenty three, we thought, well, now
- 20:28Speaker 4: she she's going on to win some awards. But we
- 20:30Speaker 4: thought that Angela Bassett was going to finally get her Oscar.
- 20:32Speaker 4: In twenty twenty three for Wakanda, she was nominated for
- 20:35Speaker 4: Best Supporting Actress in that lane. In the category at
- 20:38Speaker 4: the time too, was Jamie Lee Curtis, who actually ended
- 20:41Speaker 4: up winning the award, And when it was announced, the
- 20:43Speaker 4: camera payed to her, to Angela Bassett, and her reaction
- 20:48Speaker 4: was she was visibly like upset. You could tell that
- 20:50Speaker 4: she was upset, and normally when this happened, especially with
- 20:53Speaker 4: a big name like that, you know the camera's gonna
- 20:54Speaker 4: pay to you, you don't really react anyway that can
- 20:58Speaker 4: be taken away or made news. And it was a
- 21:00Speaker 4: complete opposite. So it became such a big story of
- 21:02Speaker 4: her reaction, especially because it had been years and years
- 21:05Speaker 4: and years of her being invited to the Oscars, her
- 21:08Speaker 4: being deserving of an award and not being nominated. So
- 21:10Speaker 4: people felt like, y'all keep playing in her face and
- 21:14Speaker 4: people were upset about it. She was upset about it.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Jonathan Majors and Michael Jordan actually came out and showed
- 21:20Speaker 4: her some love. Right after that happened, he Yautie, we
- 21:23Speaker 4: love you. And that became like a viral moment as
- 21:27Speaker 4: well too, because people were flooding her Instagram comments. We
- 21:30Speaker 4: were all over Twitter, news, a list wherever we could say, yo,
- 21:34Speaker 4: we love Angela Bassett, and she deserved that people were
- 21:36Speaker 4: saying it. Now after this, she sat down and talked
- 21:39Speaker 4: to Oprah. After that moment when viral, Angela Bassett sat
- 21:42Speaker 4: down and talked to Oprah, and she said that she
- 21:43Speaker 4: was gobsmacked, like she was basically really caught off guard
- 21:47Speaker 4: and disappointed. But now she's opening up. She's talking to
- 21:49Speaker 4: Town in the Country magazine. She's promoting a show called
- 21:53Speaker 4: Zero Days that she's in on Netflix, and in this
- 21:55Speaker 4: interview she tells them it's a written interview. She tells
- 21:58Speaker 4: them that she felt like she wasn't allowed to be disappointed,
- 22:01Speaker 4: that people literally wrote articles about her and had so
- 22:03Speaker 4: much to say about the fact that she as a
- 22:05Speaker 4: human person was visibly disappointed and she should have been
- 22:08Speaker 4: allowed to be disappointed in that moment. I love that
- 22:10Speaker 4: she said that because she kept it all in for
- 22:13Speaker 4: so long, kept it really cute.
- 22:15Speaker 6: And very classy, as she always does.
- 22:16Speaker 4: But I love to hear her say I deserve to
- 22:18Speaker 4: be able to feel in that moment and y'all need
- 22:20Speaker 4: to leave me alone.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Angela Bastard is the woman in the garden. She deserves
- 22:23Speaker 3: it all, Okay, And I'm biased when it comes to
- 22:25Speaker 3: Angela basket because the reality is she should have won
- 22:27Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety four for what's love got to do
- 22:29Speaker 3: with it? So I personally believe she should win everything everywhere,
- 22:32Speaker 3: all the time. Not only is she one of the
- 22:34Speaker 3: most incredible actresses ever, she's one of the most beautiful
- 22:37Speaker 3: creations God has ever designed. Going to clues bombs to
- 22:41Speaker 3: Angela Bassett.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely right. I mean Hollywood is so fake.
- 22:45Speaker 2: What am I supposed to just smile as somebody gets
- 22:47Speaker 2: in the war that I worked hard for and I
- 22:48Speaker 2: think I deserve. Yes, I can show emotion. I could
- 22:50Speaker 2: be pissed off. That doesn't mean I don't I don't,
- 22:53Speaker 2: you know, feel happy for you. Yeah, I'm pissed off
- 22:56Speaker 2: out of it.
- 22:57Speaker 3: I could be. I think sometimes people mistake that for
- 22:59Speaker 3: hate hating on you because you won. But I damn
- 23:03Speaker 3: sure wanted to win. Yes, like at the end of
- 23:07Speaker 3: games when teams lose, they be having their head down
- 23:10Speaker 3: the kicking gatorade buckets, slamming stuff on the floor. Nobody
- 23:13Speaker 3: else says, damn man, they acting like so it loses, no,
- 23:16Speaker 3: like nobody wants to lose.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Congratulations to you, but I wanted to wait.
- 23:20Speaker 4: Yeah, And she went on and to win, you know,
- 23:22Speaker 4: other awards, and actually ended up getting her Academy Award
- 23:26Speaker 4: after that. But she did mention she said, I love
- 23:29Speaker 4: applauding people, but in that moment she talks about that
- 23:32Speaker 4: she felt like she put in the hard work to
- 23:34Speaker 4: be recognized. And she said, uh, she said, I thought
- 23:37Speaker 4: I had put in the work, and then she corrected herself.
- 23:38Speaker 4: She said, no, I had put in, put in the time,
- 23:41Speaker 4: put in the good work over time. I didn't think
- 23:43Speaker 4: that that was a gift. I thought it was a given, basically,
- 23:46Speaker 4: like if I'm doing the work, how y'all don't see
- 23:49Speaker 4: me type of thing. And I think a lot of
- 23:50Speaker 4: people love to act like that doesn't matter. So I
- 23:52Speaker 4: love to hear her speak about this, especially at the
- 23:54Speaker 4: point that she's at in her career. And she said
- 23:55Speaker 4: it was a tough one because you know, She's really
- 23:57Speaker 4: respected amongst her peers, but he felt like the establishment
- 24:01Speaker 4: at that time didn't respect her.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Auntie, she well deserves. She deserves everything she gets.
- 24:05Speaker 3: They Audie just don't have the taste that they think
- 24:07Speaker 3: they have, because how do you not award her? In
- 24:10Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four, Fords Love Got to Do It one
- 24:12Speaker 3: of the most iconic roles ever. People look at that
- 24:15Speaker 3: and think that, you know how long I thought that
- 24:16Speaker 3: was Tina Turner? Actually I was young and I ain't know.
- 24:23Speaker 3: I thought she was actually Tina Turner. But at the
- 24:25Speaker 3: end of the movie they showed her real Tina. But
- 24:26Speaker 3: even when they showed her real Tina, you gotta rub
- 24:27Speaker 3: your eyes a little bit like.
- 24:28Speaker 4: Oh, did you also think that she really burned the
- 24:32Speaker 4: car down?
- 24:32Speaker 2: To Oh? Of course?
- 24:34Speaker 3: And waiting next?
- 24:35Speaker 6: Hell, come on, man, absolutely, I love that.
- 24:38Speaker 2: What you got next?
- 24:39Speaker 19: Is that?
- 24:40Speaker 6: Really?
- 24:41Speaker 5: So?
- 24:41Speaker 4: Is that really finally spoke out following being basically proven
- 24:46Speaker 4: that or I don't know, I wouldn't No, I was
- 24:48Speaker 4: going to say basically being proven as a liar, But
- 24:51Speaker 4: I can't say that.
- 24:51Speaker 2: But what did the speak out to say?
- 24:53Speaker 4: So after asap, Rocky was proved was found not guilty
- 24:56Speaker 4: in the shooting of acep Lly. He posted something with
- 24:58Speaker 4: ig story said, gossip as a form of entertainment for
- 25:01Speaker 4: people who have no meaningful goals or purpose in life.
- 25:03Speaker 4: Hate me, bring shame to my name, say bad things
- 25:05Speaker 4: about me. I don't care. Your existence doesn't add any
- 25:08Speaker 4: value in my life.
- 25:09Speaker 3: Now in the art, I know, social media when crazy.
- 25:10Speaker 3: They were like, godsman, what about I know they went crazy.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Now, I will say in the article that pinpointed this,
- 25:18Speaker 4: they did mention your dounky today that you gave him no.
- 25:22Speaker 6: Yeah, so maybe saw that too.
- 25:25Speaker 2: I'm sure he's seen that, and I'm sure that that
- 25:27Speaker 2: upset them because yes, if he lied on the stand correct.
- 25:31Speaker 4: Uh yeah, so there was there were things that were
- 25:32Speaker 4: debunked on the sand of the Ha said. And I
- 25:34Speaker 4: will say, as we are wrapping up to that, I
- 25:36Speaker 4: did reach out to Joe Tacopina, a SAPs attorney. You know,
- 25:39Speaker 4: I said this before I went out last night, and
- 25:41Speaker 4: he he did tell me that. Right now, they're putting
- 25:43Speaker 4: together transcripts because they want to submit it to the
- 25:46Speaker 4: people the establishing the establishments. That may be because they
- 25:51Speaker 4: do want to push for a perjury. They want to
- 25:52Speaker 4: make sure that that.
- 25:53Speaker 2: I feel like anybody that lies on that stand, that
- 25:57Speaker 2: tries to put somebody away, that tries to sue, somebody
- 26:00Speaker 2: that lies to gain for themselves should have to face
- 26:03Speaker 2: the music.
- 26:04Speaker 6: Absolutely, except Joe trying to make.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Sure to stop people from lying on the stand.
- 26:09Speaker 6: I mean that's a that's a known thing, that perjury
- 26:11Speaker 6: is the thing.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but most people, but most people, when they do that,
- 26:15Speaker 2: there's no consequences for them.
- 26:16Speaker 3: Think about it, everybody. Perjury is definitely consequences of perjury.
- 26:19Speaker 3: You're under a perjury.
- 26:20Speaker 2: A lot of people at that purge understand nothing ever happens.
- 26:24Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about.
- 26:26Speaker 6: I think you're talking about the Purge, the movie or something.
- 26:27Speaker 3: I think you mean lying about I think you're talking
- 26:29Speaker 3: about lying about allegations. Period. That's what you're talking about.
- 26:34Speaker 3: You get on that stand and you lie and commit perjury,
- 26:36Speaker 3: you're gonna get You're gonna get in trouble.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Well he should get in trouble. All right, Well that's

- 27:27Speaker 7: All right, y'all.
- 27:28Speaker 8: So a federal judge says President Trump's mass firings of
- 27:31Speaker 8: government employees can continue for now. Multiple labor unions recently
- 27:37Speaker 8: filed a lawsuit trying to block the administration's layoffs of
- 27:40Speaker 8: thousands of probationary employees, while on Thursday, a judge denied
- 27:43Speaker 8: that bid, saying the federal court was not the appropriate avenue.
- 27:47Speaker 7: For their lawsuit. So if they can file the lawsuit
- 27:49Speaker 7: is just not with the feeds.
- 27:50Speaker 8: Despite the denial, the judge did indicate that he was
- 27:53Speaker 8: sympathetic to the Union, saying many of Trump's executive orders
- 27:56Speaker 8: caused disruption and even chaos and widespread quarters of American
- 28:01Speaker 8: society switching gears. To the Conservative Political Action Conference also
- 28:06Speaker 8: known as SEAPAC twenty twenty five that's underway, Vice President JD.
- 28:09Speaker 8: Vance he spoke, and he talked about President Trump's efforts
- 28:12Speaker 8: to slash federal spending and at the political conference that
- 28:17Speaker 8: bills itself as the most influential gathering of conservatives in
- 28:21Speaker 8: the world now. Vance also spoke about Trump's efforts to
- 28:23Speaker 8: end the war in Ukraine with Russia. Let's hear more
- 28:26Speaker 8: from Vice President Vance at SEAPAC twenty twenty five.
- 28:29Speaker 19: I think all of us are sitting around and asking,
- 28:31Speaker 19: what the hell are we doing with the American people's
- 28:34Speaker 19: money for the last four years.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Let's turn off.
- 28:36Speaker 19: The spigot and spend the American people's tax money on
- 28:39Speaker 19: the American people's priority. And that's of course been a
- 28:42Speaker 19: big focus in the administration too. He wants the killing
- 28:45Speaker 19: to stop, he wants to bring lasting peace to Europe.
- 28:48Speaker 19: He doesn't just want to stop it now and have
- 28:50Speaker 19: the war restart a month from now. He wants to
- 28:53Speaker 19: bring lasting peace to Europe.
- 28:55Speaker 8: So Vance also talked about Trumps immigration policy, saying drug
- 28:58Speaker 8: traffickers free in this country is over with Trump back
- 29:02Speaker 8: in office. This year's gathering is expected to be a
- 29:04Speaker 8: celebration of President Trump's MAGA movement after Republicans sweeping victory
- 29:09Speaker 8: in November. Trump is also scheduled to speak at the
- 29:12Speaker 8: conference on Saturday. Other speakers expected to grace the States
- 29:17Speaker 8: or House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senators Ted Cruz, Rick Scott,
- 29:20Speaker 8: and Bordersar Tom Polman, speaking of which Ukrainian President Zelensky
- 29:25Speaker 8: says he did have a productive meeting with President Trump's
- 29:27Speaker 8: envoy to Russia and Ukraine. In a post on ex
- 29:30Speaker 8: Zelensky said he is grateful to the United States for
- 29:32Speaker 8: all the assistants and bipartisan support for Ukraine and the
- 29:35Speaker 8: Ukrainian people now.
- 29:36Speaker 7: Earlier this week, US officials met with.
- 29:38Speaker 8: Russia to discuss the end of its war with Ukraine,
- 29:41Speaker 8: and Zelensky's meeting with Keith Kellogg came a day after
- 29:44Speaker 8: he called Trump.
- 29:46Speaker 7: He and Trump went back and forth over those talks.
- 29:48Speaker 8: Now Trump called Zelensky a dictator without elections, while Ukrainian
- 29:51Speaker 8: leader Zelensky said Trump is living in this disinformation bubble.
- 29:55Speaker 8: So the drama kind of continues, but we're going to
- 29:57Speaker 8: ease back a little bit and BPC politically correct. Bringing
- 30:01Speaker 8: things to New York. Governor Kathy Hokel is deciding not
- 30:04Speaker 8: to remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office,
- 30:07Speaker 8: but she is putting limits on his power now. Hockel
- 30:10Speaker 8: says she's troubled by the allegations against the mayor. She
- 30:13Speaker 8: is proposing legislation to create a special Inspector General to
- 30:16Speaker 8: manage the city's affairs and give the city Council Speaker, comptroller,
- 30:21Speaker 8: and public advocate independent authority to take legal action against
- 30:25Speaker 8: the federal government. Let's hear more from New York Governor
- 30:27Speaker 8: Kathy Hokul.
- 30:28Speaker 20: Not just the initial indictment, but also the more recent
- 30:31Speaker 20: allegation of a quid pro quo with the Trump administration.
- 30:35Speaker 20: The State Inspector General we be able to direct the
- 30:37Speaker 20: New York City Department of Investigations, and the Mayor will
- 30:41Speaker 20: only be able to move the Department Investigations Commissioner with
- 30:44Speaker 20: the approval of the State Inspector General. The Trump administration
- 30:48Speaker 20: has said is already trying to use the legal jeopardy
- 30:50Speaker 20: facing Our mayor has leveraged to squeeze and punish our city.
- 30:54Speaker 20: The President's already trying to weaken our public transit system.
- 30:58Speaker 7: She's talking about the congestion price and she's still about that.
- 31:00Speaker 8: So Hoko believes that the will of the voters preclude
- 31:03Speaker 8: her power to remove him. She says she wants to
- 31:06Speaker 8: expand funding to the state promptroller for city oversights, so
- 31:10Speaker 8: she's gonna limit those the powers that be for mayor.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Eric's crazy. That's that's like, yeah, you're not grounded, but
- 31:19Speaker 2: you can't lead a house. That's pretty much what they're saying, like, Yeah,
- 31:22Speaker 2: that's The're not gonna take you out, but we're gonna
- 31:24Speaker 2: watch what you do and limit what you can do.
- 31:25Speaker 2: So he's so basically he doesn't have full control as mayth.
- 31:29Speaker 7: No he does not, No, no, that would not be
- 31:31Speaker 7: the case.
- 31:31Speaker 2: So you might as well take him out. If he
- 31:32Speaker 2: can't do everything he's supposed to be doing as a man,
- 31:34Speaker 2: you might as well just take him out.
- 31:35Speaker 6: If it might be something, because they're trying to push
- 31:37Speaker 6: him to just resign.
- 31:38Speaker 8: Yeah, I was gonna say, it sounds like it could
- 31:40Speaker 8: be a you know, a push to resign or you
- 31:42Speaker 8: know they push him out to resign. To your point, Lauren, absolutely,
- 31:46Speaker 8: and just switching gears to another story out of New York.
- 31:49Speaker 7: Very sad.
- 31:50Speaker 8: Six upstate New York corrections officers are now facing murder
- 31:53Speaker 8: charges and the death of an inmate caught on body cam.
- 31:56Speaker 8: Now the six officers charged with murder and three others
- 31:59Speaker 8: accused of manslaughter for not stopping the December attack where
- 32:03Speaker 8: they were arraigned after a special prosecutor unsealed the charges
- 32:06Speaker 8: on Thursday.
- 32:07Speaker 10: Now.
- 32:07Speaker 7: Robert Brooks was the inmate.
- 32:08Speaker 8: He was killed during a vicious attack inside the Marcie
- 32:11Speaker 8: Correctional facility. The state released bodycam video around that the
- 32:15Speaker 8: time of the special prosecutor was appointed. It appears to
- 32:19Speaker 8: show officers restraining, kicking, and beating Brooks and more. All
- 32:22Speaker 8: of the officers had bail set at one hundred thousand
- 32:24Speaker 8: dollars or less. This is a developing story, so I
- 32:27Speaker 8: will continue to keep you guys posted on this, but
- 32:31Speaker 8: very very, you know, very said, let's continue to say
- 32:33Speaker 8: his name, Robert Brooks.
- 32:35Speaker 7: That's your front page news.

- 32:52Speaker 2: from the Texas and we're gonna talk to her next.
- 32:54Speaker 2: It don't go anywhere as the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
- 32:57Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. Only everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
- 33:04Speaker 2: Charlamage the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
- 33:06Speaker 2: a special guest in the building.
- 33:07Speaker 3: One of the best messages in the Democratic Party.
- 33:09Speaker 2: That's right, we have you women, Jasmine Crockett, welcome.
- 33:12Speaker 4: Back one morning. I am you be clapping back, you bet,
- 33:19Speaker 4: wake up by you. But we don't have any hearings
- 33:21Speaker 4: this early. I just want to be weird. Nothing starts
- 33:24Speaker 4: before ten o'clock.
- 33:25Speaker 3: How are you? First and foremost? How you feeling?
- 33:27Speaker 6: I'm over it?
- 33:28Speaker 4: It's only been what has it been thirty days? Yet
- 33:31Speaker 4: this this fool is driving me crazy.
- 33:34Speaker 3: You eat sleeper this though? Like do you mean like
- 33:36Speaker 3: do you do never? Like just turn off, turn the
- 33:38Speaker 3: TV off? Like everything, Like, you know what, I don't
- 33:40Speaker 3: want to think about it.
- 33:40Speaker 4: I don't want to do nothing as much as I
- 33:42Speaker 4: don't want to think about it. I definitely stop watching
- 33:45Speaker 4: the news as much as I used to.
- 33:46Speaker 6: But people are like DM and me. They're sending me emails,
- 33:50Speaker 6: We're constantly getting phone calls. So no, I don't turn off.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Is there anything good that this administration has done so far,
- 33:56Speaker 2: anything that you can say, well, at least that's a
- 33:58Speaker 2: good day.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Huh?
- 34:01Speaker 3: Not nothing. I thought Bernie Sanders post yesterday about uh,
- 34:04Speaker 3: he likes what Trump is attempting to do with the
- 34:07Speaker 3: Pentagon by auditing them and stuff.
- 34:08Speaker 4: Like that, attempting let's see it happen. Here's the reality.
- 34:13Speaker 4: I serve on the Oversight Committee. That's where all the
- 34:14Speaker 4: drama typically happens. And we've had Department of Defense come
- 34:18Speaker 4: before us a number of times. The vast majority of
- 34:21Speaker 4: the waste brought in abuse that we have in this
- 34:22Speaker 4: country is Department of Defense. You can google and find
- 34:25Speaker 4: out that at some point in time we were spending
- 34:27Speaker 4: like one thousand dollars per toilet or something. So that's
- 34:30Speaker 4: where we see these inflated costs. That's where we have
- 34:33Speaker 4: a lot of contractors. That's where they play a lot
- 34:36Speaker 4: of games. That's where Elin gets. The vast majority of
- 34:38Speaker 4: his money is out of defense. And when they come
- 34:41Speaker 4: before us and we ask them about their audit, they
- 34:43Speaker 4: haven't had a clean audit in the last six times
- 34:46Speaker 4: we've asked for an audit. So the fact that they're
- 34:49Speaker 4: going to start with people that are getting six dollars
- 34:51Speaker 4: a day to eat, or they want to go after
- 34:53Speaker 4: the little old lady that's just trying to get her
- 34:56Speaker 4: little health care and they believe that that's what the
- 34:57Speaker 4: savings is. That's not where the say, nor is it
- 35:01Speaker 4: going after career civil servants and saying, oh, let me
- 35:05Speaker 4: take your coins, let me take your job.
- 35:07Speaker 6: Because when we add.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Up, even if we fired everybody that works for the
- 35:12Speaker 4: federal government, it's only maybe four or five percent of
- 35:15Speaker 4: our budget, but over or approximately fifty percent of our
- 35:19Speaker 4: discretionary budget is defense and they can't pass an audit.
- 35:23Speaker 4: So why we didn't start there where Elon has decided
- 35:26Speaker 4: that he was going to get two new contracts just
- 35:29Speaker 4: in two weeks, one for four hundred million dollars to Tesla,
- 35:32Speaker 4: another for a little over three hundred million dollars to SpaceX.
- 35:36Speaker 4: I don't know why we didn't start there, but it
- 35:38Speaker 4: seems like we could find a lot of waste, brought
- 35:41Speaker 4: an abuse because again they've not been able to pass
- 35:43Speaker 4: an audit.
- 35:44Speaker 3: School school me on this too, Right, Bill Clinton did
- 35:46Speaker 3: the National Partnership for Reinventing Government. He essentially Elon's saying,
- 35:51Speaker 3: he's essentially doing the same thing Bill Clinton did. As
- 35:54Speaker 3: far as, like, you know, making the government smaller or
- 35:57Speaker 3: more efficient, what do you say to that, what's the
- 35:59Speaker 3: difference what Clinton did in the nineties.
- 36:02Speaker 6: And so there's a lot that's different. But I do
- 36:04Speaker 6: want to start with because I actually looked at the numbers.
- 36:08Speaker 6: We really work kind of big.
- 36:10Speaker 4: We actually had more people working in the federal government
- 36:13Speaker 4: when Bill Clinton was in office initially than we have now.
- 36:17Speaker 6: You know, the differences. The country's just a little bit bigger, right,
- 36:21Speaker 6: So chances.
- 36:22Speaker 4: Are you would need more. And we're talking about the
- 36:24Speaker 4: people that are delivering your mail. You're talking about the
- 36:26Speaker 4: people because all y'all about to start calling us somema
- 36:28Speaker 4: someone I ain't got my tax refund check?
- 36:29Speaker 6: Okay, So like.
- 36:31Speaker 4: Firing the irs, we're talking about, you know, the people
- 36:33Speaker 4: that do FAA. So the planes don't fall out the sky, right,
- 36:37Speaker 4: So we have a lot more going on, and we
- 36:39Speaker 4: literally don't even have as many people as we had
- 36:42Speaker 4: working when he came in, so we were a little
- 36:45Speaker 4: kind of bloated when it came down to it. But
- 36:47Speaker 4: also all presidents should have advisors, and that's essentially what.
- 36:51Speaker 6: He had, was an advisor.
- 36:53Speaker 4: What they have said is that Elon is the one
- 36:55Speaker 4: that cut off the specket of money like this is
- 36:58Speaker 4: after money was appropriated and then he's like, oh no, no, no,
- 37:00Speaker 4: you can't get that money. And now people are dying
- 37:03Speaker 4: in other countries because USAID has stopped. And I want
- 37:06Speaker 4: to be clear about something. You can shut down USAID
- 37:09Speaker 4: if you want to, but that has to be done congressionally.
- 37:12Speaker 6: Okay, that's number one. Number two, USAID is less than
- 37:17Speaker 6: one percent of our budget. So they over here talking
- 37:19Speaker 6: about some oh.
- 37:20Speaker 4: They had and out condoms and they doing this and
- 37:22Speaker 4: all this kind of stuff. It's literally less than one
- 37:25Speaker 4: percent of our budget because they don't want you to
- 37:26Speaker 4: pay attention to the over ninety nine percent of the budget,
- 37:29Speaker 4: where yes, I would say most of the waste, fraud,
- 37:32Speaker 4: and abuse is actually still at the hands of somebody
- 37:34Speaker 4: like Eli Musk, like these bootleg trucks that he decided
- 37:38Speaker 4: that he was going to sell the federal government. I
- 37:41Speaker 4: think maybe at one hundred thousand dollars. I don't know
- 37:43Speaker 4: what the price is per truck or whatever. But he's
- 37:45Speaker 4: selling these trucks at the same time that he's getting
- 37:48Speaker 4: rid of all the people that were conducting investigations over
- 37:53Speaker 4: him about Tesla, investigations about SpaceX.
- 37:57Speaker 6: He got rid of all those people. And even in
- 37:59Speaker 6: that interview that Trump.
- 38:00Speaker 4: Just did, he's like, asked by Fox News of all places, right,
- 38:06Speaker 4: He's asked, well, you know who's going to oversee Elon
- 38:09Speaker 4: and make sure his conflicts are good?
- 38:11Speaker 6: He's like, oh, Elon is like, I mean, because I
- 38:16Speaker 6: got a whole body.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Of people that's over me, Like I don't just get
- 38:19Speaker 4: to decide what it's like right and wrong, and honestly,
- 38:23Speaker 4: I'm not allowed to take any money, Like I have
- 38:25Speaker 4: to live a very poor life right now, right, like you'reid.
- 38:29Speaker 6: I could be getting paid.
- 38:30Speaker 4: I've made more money before, I will make more money
- 38:32Speaker 4: up right now.
- 38:34Speaker 6: I am living not in the overflow. No, I mean.
- 38:40Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, listen, no, no, no, And I had to
- 38:46Speaker 4: shut them down because first they said that I had
- 38:48Speaker 4: a husband.
- 38:49Speaker 6: No husband, y'all.
- 38:51Speaker 4: First they said I had a husband, and they said
- 38:53Speaker 4: that I was paying him half a million dollars to
- 38:57Speaker 4: keep me safe. And people were like he should be
- 38:59Speaker 4: doing it for free. And I was like, I don't
- 39:00Speaker 4: know if y'all mix up the playground home or if
- 39:04Speaker 4: y'all just think every black girl that comes to Congress
- 39:06Speaker 4: brings a husband who has to live off. That's not
- 39:09Speaker 4: what it is. Okay, no husband, never been married, never
- 39:12Speaker 4: been engaged. A right, that's number one. So then they said, well,
- 39:15Speaker 4: she's worth nine million dollars and she's got all these homes.
- 39:19Speaker 6: Let me tell you something.
- 39:20Speaker 4: When I first got to Congress, about two weeks in,
- 39:23Speaker 4: there was a case that I've been working for seven years.
- 39:26Speaker 4: It was a civil rights case, one of my last
- 39:28Speaker 4: two civil rights cases, and I still got one pen in.
- 39:30Speaker 4: So just so y'all know, if I gotta resign, I'm
- 39:32Speaker 4: a resigned.
- 39:33Speaker 6: But nevertheless it goes to trial, I'm unable to participate.
- 39:36Speaker 4: Because I'm not supposed to be. But I'm in this
- 39:39Speaker 4: wine down period. It actually hits for about twenty two
- 39:42Speaker 4: million dollars. So ethic says, you can't collect your attorneys
- 39:46Speaker 4: feel on that at all. Now, mind you, I worked
- 39:48Speaker 4: this case before I ever ran for Congress, right, so
- 39:52Speaker 4: like that gives you an idea of how far they
- 39:55Speaker 4: go when it comes to the contry.
- 39:56Speaker 6: No, but here's the deal. I would have resigned and
- 39:59Speaker 6: I will.
- 40:00Speaker 4: No, I'm not going to play with my money like
- 40:02Speaker 4: y'all tripping, because I worked on that case for seven years.
- 40:04Speaker 4: It was against a very small city that literally can't
- 40:07Speaker 4: pay it. Now, if for some reason they go find
- 40:09Speaker 4: the coins, then absolutely, I'm resigning, forcing a special election
- 40:13Speaker 4: and I'll win.
- 40:14Speaker 13: Right.
- 40:14Speaker 4: But I do have another one that is penning, and
- 40:16Speaker 4: it's pinning against the city of Dallas, and the officer
- 40:20Speaker 4: in that case actually played guilty. If the City of
- 40:22Speaker 4: Dallas does pay up, you heard it here. First, You're
- 40:26Speaker 4: resigning and it will be a seven figure payday for
- 40:29Speaker 4: me because as an attorney, yeah, we do have cases
- 40:33Speaker 4: that hit for millions of dollars. It's not really that odd.
- 40:37Speaker 4: The thing is that I've always been a bleeding herd liberal.
- 40:39Speaker 4: I have, so I was doing more criminal defense than anything.
- 40:42Speaker 4: I wasn't really doing a lot of the big million
- 40:46Speaker 4: dollar cases unless I was helping out the homies. I've
- 40:48Speaker 4: got plenty of cases where I've gone into court help
- 40:51Speaker 4: homies get seven figure results, but.
- 40:54Speaker 6: That never was me.
- 40:55Speaker 4: I just wanted to be comfortable. And now I got,
- 40:57Speaker 4: you know, deal with Congress said.
- 40:58Speaker 3: You can resign and didn't run again and said.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Ye now, yeah, we have more of a congress woman
- 41:05Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett. When we come back, it's the breakfast Club.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Good morning morning. Everybody is tj envy just hilarious, charlamage,
- 41:12Speaker 2: na gud. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking
- 41:15Speaker 2: it with Jasmine crocket Now do you think what Trump
- 41:17Speaker 2: is doing now is to throw people off? Is the
- 41:20Speaker 2: well were possibly gonna give you guys five thousand dollars
- 41:22Speaker 2: as the district possibly gonna take the congestion prices, say
- 41:25Speaker 2: hello to the king. You think he's doing those things
- 41:27Speaker 2: to say, you know what all the rest of our stuff,
- 41:30Speaker 2: These people won't even check me because I'm doing they
- 41:32Speaker 2: think I'm doing this.
- 41:32Speaker 6: That's exactly right.
- 41:34Speaker 4: He knows that they're not gonna check them, right, Like,
- 41:36Speaker 4: I mean, you can go back and play the clips
- 41:37Speaker 4: of him talking about how he loves the uneducated. Right,
- 41:40Speaker 4: if you would ever run for president he was run
- 41:41Speaker 4: as a Republican like and we know, like, this isn't
- 41:44Speaker 4: me trying to throw shade. These are just the facts
- 41:47Speaker 4: when you look at who's voting for who the less
- 41:50Speaker 4: educated folks. And when I say educated, I'm not even
- 41:52Speaker 4: talking about formal education. I'm talking about people that literally
- 41:56Speaker 4: don't want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those
- 41:59Speaker 4: are the people that vote for the Republicans. And this
- 42:01Speaker 4: one of the reasons that we have to stop writing
- 42:04Speaker 4: in theses as Democrats, right, Like, we want to give
- 42:07Speaker 4: you every single little detail that we can find so
- 42:10Speaker 4: that you can have all the information. But the reality
- 42:12Speaker 4: is that the average person that is going out there
- 42:15Speaker 4: and voting, they're not paying attention to that. And we
- 42:17Speaker 4: fail to realize how selfish people are. People go out
- 42:21Speaker 4: and they vote in their own self interest. And so
- 42:23Speaker 4: you had all these races that showed up and decided
- 42:25Speaker 4: that they were going to vote for the other races
- 42:27Speaker 4: because they thought, hey, we are all the same. But
- 42:29Speaker 4: the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay,
- 42:32Speaker 4: and so when he decided that he was going to
- 42:34Speaker 4: look out for somebody, it was only going to be
- 42:36Speaker 4: other rich white guys, not the rest of y'all. So
- 42:39Speaker 4: as you're losing your job, as you're losing your medicaid,
- 42:42Speaker 4: as you're losing your farm, you're feeling a way because
- 42:45Speaker 4: you're like, wait a minute, you were supposed to go
- 42:47Speaker 4: after the others, not come after us, And now they're saying, oh, well,
- 42:51Speaker 4: we'll give you a five thousand dollars check. I don't
- 42:52Speaker 4: see it happening right now. That is not a part
- 42:55Speaker 4: of the budget that they have proposed, that is for sure.
- 42:57Speaker 4: So they just had a markup. So this is the
- 43:00Speaker 4: that they're ever talking about. This the budget that they
- 43:02Speaker 4: proposed where they went through a thirteen hour markup just
- 43:06Speaker 4: the other day, proposed getting rid of Medicare. So I mean,
- 43:09Speaker 4: theoretically they should have the money if you decide that
- 43:12Speaker 4: people won't have healthcare in this country, which costs a
- 43:14Speaker 4: little bit more than five thousand dollars a person. But
- 43:17Speaker 4: the reality is that they're not gonna do that.
- 43:18Speaker 3: Why do people still talk like Donald Trump's campaigning as
- 43:22Speaker 3: opposed to like he's actually here right now in the
- 43:25Speaker 3: flesh doing what it is that he's doing. Like they
- 43:27Speaker 3: still talk like they stopped, like they talk like they
- 43:29Speaker 3: can stop this. Like I saw governor governor of Illinois, JV.
- 43:33Speaker 3: What's his name, David. Yeah, he was talking, but I'm like, yo,
- 43:35Speaker 3: that should have been said four years ago. The things
- 43:38Speaker 3: that he was saying, like like, why are they talking
- 43:40Speaker 3: like he's still campaigning.
- 43:42Speaker 6: I'm gonna say this. I think that there's two things.
- 43:44Speaker 4: I think that again, Democrats are so cerebral that we
- 43:48Speaker 4: were like, of course, nobody's gonna vote for him again.
- 43:50Speaker 4: They'll remember the dead bodies that were piling up in
- 43:53Speaker 4: freezer trucks in New York. They'll remember that he was
- 43:56Speaker 4: selling people there in Jake Bleach. They'll remember that, you know,
- 44:00Speaker 4: they were losing their jobs. They did not know if
- 44:02Speaker 4: their family members were going to live or die.
- 44:03Speaker 6: They will remember.
- 44:05Speaker 4: We thought he like people would remember, and then we
- 44:08Speaker 4: started to realize way too late that a lot of
- 44:10Speaker 4: people forgot all they remembered. It was almost like our
- 44:13Speaker 4: brains would not remember the bad. All they remembered was
- 44:16Speaker 4: like things like a twelve hundred dollars check, but they
- 44:18Speaker 4: didn't remember how they got it right, Like they didn't
- 44:20Speaker 4: remember Pelosi, they didn't remember the Democrats were controlling the
- 44:24Speaker 4: House at the time, Like they didn't remember that part
- 44:27Speaker 4: of the story.
- 44:27Speaker 3: The Democrats mess and marketing.
- 44:30Speaker 6: Well, you know, we're still working.
- 44:32Speaker 4: But I will say the other part of this though
- 44:34Speaker 4: about Pritzker is that I think what we're trying to
- 44:38Speaker 4: do is at least make sure that people wake up
- 44:40Speaker 4: because there are things that we can do.
- 44:43Speaker 6: I don't accept defeat.
- 44:45Speaker 4: I mean, if I accepted defeat, here's the reality, I
- 44:48Speaker 4: wouldn't be sitting here before you. My ancestors never accepted defeat,
- 44:51Speaker 4: so I won't either.
- 44:52Speaker 6: Did he win?
- 44:53Speaker 4: Absolutely? Are we defeated? Absolutely not? And so right now
- 44:58Speaker 4: constitution absolutely look at.
- 45:01Speaker 6: You with your alliterature. Okay, there, we got me. So
- 45:04Speaker 6: here's the deal.
- 45:05Speaker 4: We know that the House is only a three member
- 45:09Speaker 4: different three members going to the Democratic side means that
- 45:12Speaker 4: we control the House and we start slowing things down.
- 45:15Speaker 4: We have three seats that are about to be up.
- 45:16Speaker 4: We have two seats that are up right now. We
- 45:18Speaker 4: have another run that will be up in New York.
- 45:20Speaker 4: And so I'm telling people put all your energy into
- 45:22Speaker 4: these three seats because I can't wait two years. Like
- 45:25Speaker 4: I'm tired of him already, So we need an opportunity
- 45:28Speaker 4: to start stopping him. So I do want governors like
- 45:31Speaker 4: Pritzker to give people this belief and this hope. And
- 45:35Speaker 4: I want people to go out and say, you know what,
- 45:37Speaker 4: I don't have very much money, but I think that
- 45:39Speaker 4: it's worthwhile for me to give my ten dollars to
- 45:41Speaker 4: these people that are running in Florida, to give money
- 45:45Speaker 4: to whoever is going to ultimately run here in New York.
- 45:47Speaker 4: I think it's worth my time to show up and
- 45:50Speaker 4: actually knock on some doors and talk to people and
- 45:52Speaker 4: listen to people and ask them why did you vote
- 45:54Speaker 4: for Trump? And Trump would still be your president.
- 45:57Speaker 6: But don't you want this to slow a little bit?
- 46:00Speaker 4: Don't you want somebody to say, hey, wait a minute.
- 46:04Speaker 4: We think that it's important that social security still exists,
- 46:07Speaker 4: and the only thing that will stand between you and
- 46:11Speaker 4: your social security is potentially having a democratic House. And
- 46:14Speaker 4: it doesn't mean you're a Democrat, but it does mean
- 46:16Speaker 4: that you believe in a democratic republic. And so I
- 46:20Speaker 4: want us to work these three seats right now because
- 46:22Speaker 4: one of the elections Florida will take place on April first.
- 46:25Speaker 3: So those are the guardrails that are in place to protect,
- 46:27Speaker 3: you know, people like the federal workers from what Elon
- 46:30Speaker 3: Musk and Donald trumpe are.
- 46:31Speaker 4: Roll as it relates that to that part. The guardrails
- 46:35Speaker 4: are the courts. That's the only thing that we have
- 46:37Speaker 4: standing right now, and I'm concerned that ultimately the High
- 46:41Speaker 4: Court belongs to him. So I know he's trying to
- 46:44Speaker 4: get those cases up to the Supreme Court again, get
- 46:47Speaker 4: them to dismantle the constitution a bit, dismantle laws a
- 46:51Speaker 4: little bit. But the fact that they push back on
- 46:53Speaker 4: TikTok of all things, like just forget the subject matter.
- 46:57Speaker 4: But ultimately, in a nine to zero decision when it
- 47:00Speaker 4: came down to TikTok, they said.
- 47:01Speaker 6: Oh, never mind, Like, no, you can't do that. That
- 47:04Speaker 6: was signed in law.
- 47:04Speaker 4: Whether you like it or not, it was signed in
- 47:06Speaker 4: the law, and you can't just unilaterally overturn that. So
- 47:10Speaker 4: I think that we may have a little hope from
- 47:14Speaker 4: them when it comes down to things like once Congress
- 47:17Speaker 4: appropriates something, you can't do anything about it. Now, here's
- 47:20Speaker 4: the thing, it'll never make the Supreme Court in time
- 47:22Speaker 4: because this last funding bill runs out on March fourteenth.
- 47:26Speaker 4: We won't get to the Supreme Court by March fourteenth
- 47:29Speaker 4: to get a decision. But we potentially will have a
- 47:31Speaker 4: new budget and that budget should be done because he
- 47:35Speaker 4: does have a Trump trifecta. It should be done in
- 47:37Speaker 4: the image of what it is that they want to deliver,
- 47:41Speaker 4: and so we'll see if they can get it done.
- 47:43Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 47:44Speaker 6: I think we're shutting down on March fourteen.
- 47:45Speaker 3: On March fourteen, you think the government's gonna shut down?
- 47:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the last time we shut down was
- 47:50Speaker 4: under Trump. When we shut down I think at least
- 47:53Speaker 4: two times, and the longest shutdown we've ever had in
- 47:55Speaker 4: the history of this country came under Trump. And right
- 47:58Speaker 4: now they have a slimmer majority than they had when
- 48:01Speaker 4: I was in the one hundred and eighteenth session. So right
- 48:05Speaker 4: now they only have they can only lose one vote.
- 48:08Speaker 4: One Republican vote can vote against it, So if all
- 48:11Speaker 4: Democrats show up and vote against it, which we should,
- 48:14Speaker 4: they can only lose one.
- 48:15Speaker 6: Right now.
- 48:17Speaker 4: I don't see how they get it past, but we'll
- 48:20Speaker 4: see they can get it past the Senate.
- 48:22Speaker 6: I don't see how they get a past House.
- 48:24Speaker 2: We have more with congress Woman Jasmine Crockett when we
- 48:26Speaker 2: come back as the Breakfast Club goal morning morning, everybody
- 48:28Speaker 2: is j Envy, Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are
- 48:32Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Jasmine Crocket. Well, child,
- 48:37Speaker 2: what is on your what is on your breakdown? What's
- 48:41Speaker 2: on your shirt? Child?
- 48:42Speaker 6: Yes?
- 48:43Speaker 4: Yes, yes, So we dropped the child collection collection after
- 48:48Speaker 4: Nancy mays act it like she wanted to take me outside.
- 48:52Speaker 3: So minutes with you.
- 48:53Speaker 4: She's going to be your mind when she asks you,
- 48:57Speaker 4: I'd like to take this outside.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Military school.
- 49:00Speaker 6: I don't want.
- 49:05Speaker 3: From the citadel which is all military scho.
- 49:07Speaker 4: Yeah, right, So DEI helped her just fyi, because it
- 49:13Speaker 4: didn't exist, and there were people that did not want
- 49:16Speaker 4: a woman in the institution. But her father actually taught
- 49:20Speaker 4: at the institution, and so she wanted to be just
- 49:23Speaker 4: like her dad, and so they sued, they went to
- 49:25Speaker 4: the courts so that she could get in as a woman.
- 49:29Speaker 4: And now she is the very same woman that wants
- 49:32Speaker 4: to do like a bunch of the same immigrants to
- 49:35Speaker 4: somehow get over here, get their citizenship, and then they like,
- 49:37Speaker 4: forget everybody else coming behind me.
- 49:39Speaker 6: She is the same. And so she claims that she's
- 49:42Speaker 6: been a champion for.
- 49:43Speaker 4: Women and that's why she's against trans people, but she
- 49:46Speaker 4: forgets that she benefited from diversity, equity and inclusion like
- 49:51Speaker 4: most white women, because white women are the vast majority
- 49:56Speaker 4: of the beneficiaries of DEI policies. But that's all she
- 50:01Speaker 4: But when she said let's take it outside, you know,
- 50:03Speaker 4: I really want to be like, let's go now, I
- 50:05Speaker 4: knew that I couldn't because again, they would have been
- 50:08Speaker 4: trying to expel me. And if the tables were turned
- 50:10Speaker 4: if I had said that to her, oh, the Karen
- 50:13Speaker 4: would have been calling everybody to come through and come
- 50:16Speaker 4: grab me, and they would have had me on the
- 50:19Speaker 4: floor for an explosion for trying to incite violence against
- 50:23Speaker 4: another member of Congress literally in a committee hearing. But
- 50:28Speaker 4: instead they said, well, maybe she meant go outside for coffee.
- 50:33Speaker 6: I do be thinking that though I guess what they said.
- 50:35Speaker 3: I'd be thinking that these people are so old and
- 50:37Speaker 3: so culturally clue is that they don't understand.
- 50:40Speaker 6: No no, no, no no.
- 50:42Speaker 3: When you did it either, when you did your bad
- 50:44Speaker 3: Bill Bush Bodies that the guy was like, what.
- 50:46Speaker 4: It's the same guy, Nancy, I am not a child. Now,
- 50:54Speaker 4: I do think that she is culturally unaware, even though
- 50:57Speaker 4: she's always bragging about how many black people she represents
- 51:00Speaker 4: in her district in South Carolina.
- 51:01Speaker 6: Black people in South Carolina.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Wake up here up we went to high school together.
- 51:07Speaker 4: Well, no, well she's anyway, I'm not gonna cuss you
- 51:10Speaker 4: said the economy she does because South Carolina about to
- 51:15Speaker 4: catch it, just like all these other ones, all of them,
- 51:19Speaker 4: they're about to catch it the hardest. Like you think
- 51:21Speaker 4: you're quote unquote owning the Libs. But guess what New
- 51:25Speaker 4: York has money? Okay, guess what California has money? Right,
- 51:30Speaker 4: the ones that are broke and need the money, the
- 51:33Speaker 4: New York and California bay into is you little red
- 51:36Speaker 4: states down south?
- 51:38Speaker 6: The vast majority of y'all. Y'all are the ones that
- 51:40Speaker 6: are broken. Y'all are the ones that are constantly bleeding
- 51:43Speaker 6: population as well. Right, Like we know that these.
- 51:46Speaker 4: Small states like people are moving to the big cities,
- 51:49Speaker 4: which to be in the bluer states where there are
- 51:52Speaker 4: more opportunities. So but Nancy, you know, she now wants
- 51:56Speaker 4: to us.
- 51:57Speaker 6: To take it outside because they're going through all of that.
- 52:00Speaker 4: No, she she just wants to try to elevate her
- 52:03Speaker 4: name and her status. So she's allegedly talking about running
- 52:08Speaker 4: for governor.
- 52:09Speaker 6: Don't do it.
- 52:10Speaker 4: Don't do it South Carolina. But if you look into her,
- 52:14Speaker 4: like she said so much staff that has resigned, she
- 52:16Speaker 4: is consistently being accused of all types of inappropriateness when
- 52:20Speaker 4: it comes to like sex stuff in general. So beyond her, well,
- 52:25Speaker 4: i'll just say that in committee right in that same hearing,
- 52:29Speaker 4: she was talking about quote unquote.
- 52:31Speaker 6: Chicks with peace. Yeah, so she was doing like all
- 52:35Speaker 6: that kind of stuff.
- 52:35Speaker 4: So she constantly like throws the word around and committee
- 52:39Speaker 4: and that kind of thing. But she's also been accused
- 52:42Speaker 4: of talking to staff about her sex life and making
- 52:46Speaker 4: them uncomfortable, and so she's had staff resign alleging that
- 52:50Speaker 4: she is very inappropriate.
- 52:52Speaker 3: She didn't just say she was a victim of rape
- 52:54Speaker 3: and sexual all.
- 52:55Speaker 6: He also did that with a lot of protections.
- 52:58Speaker 4: So people don't know that if you go on the
- 53:00Speaker 4: house floor, you can pretty much say anything and people
- 53:03Speaker 4: can't suit you.
- 53:03Speaker 6: It's the debate clause. What do you mean, speech and debate?
- 53:06Speaker 4: Speech and debate clause means that when you are in
- 53:10Speaker 4: the chamber and you're on the floor and you say
- 53:13Speaker 4: certain things, I can say something defammatory and I can't
- 53:17Speaker 4: be sued.
- 53:18Speaker 3: Oh.
- 53:19Speaker 4: So the theory is this is that she decided, now
- 53:22Speaker 4: that she's getting ready for this supernatorial she decided to
- 53:27Speaker 4: kind of head off some potential bad headlines by going
- 53:30Speaker 4: onto the house floor and accusing not one, not two,
- 53:34Speaker 4: but three men of sexually abusing.
- 53:38Speaker 6: Her and recording it and drugging her.
- 53:42Speaker 4: So the thought is that maybe there's a sex safe
- 53:44Speaker 4: that's about to come out, and so if she went
- 53:46Speaker 4: on the floor, they can't do anything about it. Now
- 53:49Speaker 4: she's not filed charges against any of them. She just
- 53:52Speaker 4: went on the floor, made these accusations, but did not
- 53:55Speaker 4: go and file a case against anybody. Now she files
- 53:59Speaker 4: a case against somebody and she's found to be lying.
- 54:03Speaker 6: That is a crime.
- 54:04Speaker 4: But she could go on the floor and accuse them
- 54:07Speaker 4: of whatever and they can't sue her. So interesting place
- 54:10Speaker 4: to go and report.
- 54:12Speaker 3: Most jae.
- 54:19Speaker 6: Somebody else?
- 54:22Speaker 4: Is it true to somebody else that works for another
- 54:24Speaker 4: sitting member. They called in and that they bet they
- 54:27Speaker 4: was betting on a fight. Oh yeah, they wanted to
- 54:29Speaker 4: see it. I don't know who it was, but we
- 54:33Speaker 4: have Capitol police. We have Capitol police following up on
- 54:37Speaker 4: that because they called during working hours on a house phone,
- 54:41Speaker 4: and they were so smart that they didn't realize that
- 54:44Speaker 4: all calls made on house phones are recorded, so it
- 54:48Speaker 4: is recorded.
- 54:48Speaker 6: We know which member's office it came from.
- 54:51Speaker 4: It was a Republican out of Texas whose office it
- 54:55Speaker 4: came from.
- 54:56Speaker 2: They were trying to.
- 54:58Speaker 4: They yeah, so they called my office and was like, yeah,
- 55:02Speaker 4: this is what we want to see. Blah blah blah
- 55:04Speaker 4: blah blah. Were trying to place a bit some random staffer.
- 55:07Speaker 6: They're called my office. It's the audacity.
- 55:10Speaker 3: But I can see why they would want to see it.
- 55:12Speaker 3: But this is what I'm saying, right, do you think
- 55:14Speaker 3: that Congress could get more done if y'all actually did
- 55:17Speaker 3: throw hands every now and no, just real quick, real quick,
- 55:20Speaker 3: thirty seconds, then y'all get it out and go back
- 55:22Speaker 3: now want to fight?
- 55:24Speaker 6: No?
- 55:25Speaker 3: I do want to ask you this. I know you
- 55:27Speaker 3: got to go. Why don't Democrats sit down? Chuck Schuman
- 55:30Speaker 3: and Hakim Jefferies they all represent the old way of
- 55:33Speaker 3: doing things that don't work anymore. People like yourself, AOC.
- 55:36Speaker 3: Y'all know how to communicate, y'all know how to message.
- 55:39Speaker 3: Why don't they let y'all be front tracing in the party.
- 55:41Speaker 3: What are they holding on to? I know their positions,
- 55:43Speaker 3: but forget the position. If they're not connecting with people,
- 55:47Speaker 3: why are they the ones that are out front but
- 55:49Speaker 3: not y'all.
- 55:49Speaker 4: I mean, there's just a lot that we could be doing,
- 55:51Speaker 4: and I'm hoping that we get a lot more aggressive
- 55:54Speaker 4: and decide every single day like this is just what
- 55:56Speaker 4: it is. Like I told my staff, I'm like, y'all
- 55:59Speaker 4: had it good last term.
- 56:00Speaker 6: I know y'all thought y'all didn't, but.
- 56:02Speaker 4: I'm like, we actually now have to work ten times
- 56:05Speaker 4: harder than we did before because we've got to make
- 56:08Speaker 4: sure people understand how bad these policies are and what's happening.
- 56:12Speaker 4: If we don't communicate it in real time, then we're doomed.
- 56:15Speaker 4: That was the problem even when we were trying to
- 56:18Speaker 4: get the White House back, is that we did not
- 56:20Speaker 4: communicate in real time the good things we were doing.
- 56:23Speaker 4: Now they're like, oh, wait a minute, those wait minutes.
- 56:26Speaker 4: So the overdraft fees, that was Joe Biden that reduced
- 56:29Speaker 4: it so it wasn't more than five dollars per overdraft,
- 56:32Speaker 4: and now the Republicans have filed a bill saying, you
- 56:36Speaker 4: know what, we want those overdraft fees to go back
- 56:38Speaker 4: up because again they're looking out for the rich people,
- 56:42Speaker 4: not the people who was struggling. Who has overdraft fees?
- 56:45Speaker 4: Is it the rich people or is the people live
- 56:47Speaker 4: in check to check? So the people they kept saying, oh, no,
- 56:50Speaker 4: he's for the middle class.
- 56:51Speaker 6: No he's not. And they tried to convince you that
- 56:53Speaker 6: the Democrats.
- 56:54Speaker 4: Had done nothing, but they had, They had consistently done
- 56:57Speaker 4: things for the middle class.
- 56:58Speaker 6: It's just that.
- 56:59Speaker 4: And so when even when Democrats are like, oh, we're
- 57:01Speaker 4: not the party of the middle class anymore, Yes we are.
- 57:03Speaker 4: Our policies are clear because over draft fees, that's not
- 57:07Speaker 4: for rich people, but now it is about to be
- 57:09Speaker 4: for rich people. You know why, because again we're seeing
- 57:12Speaker 4: a government that wants to prey on those that are
- 57:15Speaker 4: struggling so that others at the top can benefit to
- 57:19Speaker 4: some ridiculous amount of money.
- 57:21Speaker 6: And that's what we're about to go through.
- 57:22Speaker 4: So I'm just like, listen, if you were broke and
- 57:24Speaker 4: thought he was your guy, will God bless you?
- 57:27Speaker 5: All?
- 57:27Speaker 17: Right?
- 57:27Speaker 3: Jeffer can never talk like that. I just want you
- 57:29Speaker 3: to know that we can never speak to people. Know that.

- 58:11Speaker 4: Welcome Home concert cancelation situation really went down from inside.
- 58:16Speaker 6: We have the answers. Boosie to the rescue. Let's take
- 58:19Speaker 6: a listen.
- 58:20Speaker 21: Oh, we was asking the people, even the people at
- 58:22Speaker 21: the arena, and he was like, some federal people came
- 58:24Speaker 21: in here with let us like shut this down like
- 58:28Speaker 21: it was some what Yeah, that was the one of
- 58:30Speaker 21: the workers say, like they came in here right before that.
- 58:33Speaker 21: They say they came in sound chick and shut it down.
- 58:36Speaker 21: So this was this some last minute power whatever it
- 58:39Speaker 21: happened to it. With this, the arena was open, everything
- 58:42Speaker 21: was open, bro like it was going down.
- 58:46Speaker 3: Was that on TV? Yes?
- 58:47Speaker 6: That TV?
- 58:49Speaker 3: Yep.
- 58:49Speaker 4: Now I think that that makes it even worse than
- 58:51Speaker 4: it honestly makes me want to figure out who's these
- 58:54Speaker 4: federal people on what is the situation.
- 58:57Speaker 2: I don't know, but I know that the son of
- 58:58Speaker 2: Sam lor and I'm not saying this, this is part
- 59:00Speaker 2: of it, but the son of samads. You can't profit
- 59:02Speaker 2: off of a crime that you did.
- 59:04Speaker 3: What crimes? What crime? Huh? You can't drop it.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Off of I guess your name or the crimes or
- 59:08Speaker 2: anything telling the story of that you did.
- 59:10Speaker 6: But they're telling them, welcome home.
- 59:11Speaker 3: It's a concert.
- 59:13Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
- 59:14Speaker 4: I was thinking maybe they thought that there was the
- 59:17Speaker 4: capacity was going to be too crazy and you know,
- 59:19Speaker 4: like crime marshals can come in or whatever.
- 59:20Speaker 6: But that's not federal.
- 59:21Speaker 3: I was told they saw nine hundred tickets of fourteen thousand.
- 59:25Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the building whole fourteen dollars. That's what I
- 59:27Speaker 3: was told. I was told it was a ticket thing.
- 59:29Speaker 4: Well, Boosie also talked about just the way that little
- 59:32Speaker 4: Meach has been carrying a whole situation. And I will
- 59:34Speaker 4: say little Meach was out and about and there's a
- 59:37Speaker 4: video of him chopping it up with Rick Ross at
- 59:39Speaker 4: a Floyd Mayweather's party in Miami recently. Let's take a
- 59:42Speaker 4: listen to what Boosey had to say about how littlech
- 59:43Speaker 4: is carrying this whole situation.
- 59:45Speaker 21: Let Meach ain't like his response. It seemed like he
- 59:48Speaker 21: got a genuine kind of love for fitting on his response.
- 59:52Speaker 21: But you know, my respunan, let's go to Walter.
- 59:57Speaker 5: You.
- 59:57Speaker 21: I don't know what Meat was on some I'm a pope.
- 1:00:01Speaker 21: I don't give him, my son. You ain't gonna go
- 1:00:04Speaker 21: against this grain.
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: He basically feels like he's leaning into Fifty too much.
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: But I mean, now that this videos out of him
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: in your grass, I don't think that that's the case whatsoever.
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: So now we know, I am going to try and
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: figure out more information about that though, Like what was
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: that situation?
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Like who are these.
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: Federal people that boot the show at the concert? Yeah,
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: with the concert for the Big Meach Welcome Home concert.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: So Boosie was saying that Meach, little meat should just
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: roll with Big Meach.
- 1:00:29Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's his dad.
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: That's a little more complicated than that, though. I get it, Yeah,
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: I get it. I mean I understand, but you know,
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: he does have a relationship with Fifty as well, that's
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: his father. But it's still business. You're grown, you're two adults,
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: like little Meach is an adult. Big Meach is an adult.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: Fifty Center is an adult. Low Meach has his own
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: relationship with fifty. He's getting caught up in the crossheads
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: or whatever. You know, big meats, fifty and rosscot going on.
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: I thought lot Meach's response to the fifty was valid.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: Your dad name is cowboy, right, yeah, cowboy get into something.
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: You're gonna neutrally try and figure it out.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: It's different, just gonna go from zero to one hundreds.
- 1:01:06Speaker 14: Let's go to war.
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: Fifty, it's different, and.
- 1:01:08Speaker 6: Let's go to war. But like I'm not explaining, I'm
- 1:01:10Speaker 6: not texting none of that.
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: That's my dad.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: I think little Meets looked at fifty as a father figure.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: Remember little Meat was down for a second so many times,
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: so many years, and fifty helped him out rehab allegedly
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: and got him a deal. So I think you might
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: have looked at him as a father figure.
- 1:01:24Speaker 6: I get it, I hear you. But that's his dad.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: Sure, but there should still be a conversation. There still
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: shouldn't just be a yo. From what I remember in
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: the text of the text was like, what's going on,
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: what's happening here? Right?
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: But fifty had already went zero to one hundred at
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: that point. So now you got to pick a side,
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: and that's my dad.
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: Do you think he should just match energy and just
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: do what Boozy said?
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: He no, No, he should calmly just sit next to
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: his dad and just chill. Stop texting, stop all of that.
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: Take what comes with your dad made a decision.
- 1:01:55Speaker 6: Here we are.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: Do you have a conversation with your father and say, damn, pop,
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: did you even think about this? You know that fifty
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: got an issue and fifty did a lot for us.
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: You do have that conversation, you know, but you gotta
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: roll with your pops. Like when it comes to like
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: you now you're stepping over the line, you send a text.
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: Like, Hey, I don't think it's that easy on my side,
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: not in that situation. I know it seems like that
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: to some people, but I don't think.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: It's that easy, not in that situation.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: And I know it wasn't that easy for a little beach.
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: It can't. It's not that easy. But it's your dad though.
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: Like I don't, I don't know, not in that situation,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: not when your dad been down for what's twenty years.
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: We'll see, girl, what's happening there. You gave me that face.
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: Go ahead, Andy on what's going on?
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: What's you about to start?
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: You start that dad stuff.
- 1:02:41Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not happening you good.
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna effect. I'm gonna text you, all right, don't.
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: I'm gonna text you and then you tell.
- 1:02:49Speaker 6: Me anyway and not the news.

- 1:08:49Speaker 3: February twenty first goes to Ashley Cross. Ashley is a
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: thirty seven year old African American woman from Memphis, Tennessee. Okay, smooth,
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: everyone who listens to us on K ninety seven in Memphis. Now,
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: I'm sure that you all are aware by now there's
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: a lot of companies have rolled back their diversity equity
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: and including initiatives. One of those companies is Walmart. Now,
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: if you read my first book, Black Privilege, and you
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: know the joy Walmart brought me as a child, Because
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: when you grow up in the country like I did,
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: salute the Monst Corner, South Carolina, drop on the clues,
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: BOMs Amost Cornersauth Carolina. When you grow up in the country,
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: a rural area, the twenty four hour Walmart is everything. Okay,
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: That's what we would go late at night because there
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: was nothing else to do. Yes, the good old days.
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: Walk in the holy grounds of Walmart. This was way
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: back in the day when the only thing they were
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: rolling back is prices. But a lot of people have
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: called for a boycott at these companies in particular target,
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: but Ashley Cross has decided that she is staging a
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: one woman boycott of Walmart. Yes, in fact, Ashley is
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: not going to be shopping at Walmart in period. No
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: Walmart in the country, none of them ever again. Okay,
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: do you have that kind of commitment to your boycott?
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: Can you vow to never shopping an establishment ever again?
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: Are a scott paper tower being ten sixty eight for
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: twelve rolls too great a deal to pass up? Well?
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: If it is, then you can always do what Ashley
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: did because it's guaranteed Ashley will never step foot in
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: any Walmart ever again. And I lie, it's not because
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: she's boycotting Walmart. It's actually because Walmart is boycotting her.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: What do you mean, Uncle, Sharla, Walmart is boycotting her. Well,

- 1:10:49Speaker 14: using and devised to scan her items for one dollar
- 1:10:52Speaker 14: at a self checkout machine.
- 1:10:54Speaker 23: Ashley Cross remains in jail on a seventy five hundred
- 1:10:58Speaker 23: dollars bond. She is due back in court February nineteenth.
- 1:11:01Speaker 23: The suspect with Cross received a misdemeanor citation for theft
- 1:11:05Speaker 23: of property.
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: Oh, she already went the court. I wonder what happened.
- 1:11:08Speaker 17: Listen.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: I used to shoplift up until twenty sixteen. Okay, that's
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: when I stopped shoplifting. But I didn't, you know, feel
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: like I was stealing because.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: Nine years ago you had a little money.
- 1:11:19Speaker 6: Nine years ago, are you still stealing?
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: I don't know. But I didn't feel like it was
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: stealing because I didn't try to hide anything. I would
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: walk in and, you know, take what I want and
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: just walk out. You only get caught when you look suspicious,
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: you know. Plus I never really stole anything but magazines,
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: you know, when I was young, like Black and Miles,
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: twelve packs of butt light, random stuff like that. But
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: Ashley is clearly a kleptomaniac, and she's good because she
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: was using a bar code from an old watch battery
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: to scan all her items for just one dollar to
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: self checkout. I stand a creative thief. Okay, y'all still
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: stealing like flintstones actually out here like a jection with it.
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: Or maybe this is the normal way to shoplift. Now,
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: I don't steal anymore, so I wouldn't know. But Ashley
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: stole eleven packs of roumenodles, women's boots, a pair of jeans,
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: and a T shirt, all totally one hundred and thirty
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: seven dollars and thirty four cents. Now, this woman was
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: clearly stealing essentials. Okay, these are reasonable things to steal. Ramen, noodles, boots, clothes.
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: I understand. In America, I'm gonna tell you something you
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: don't want to hear. There's gonna be a lot more
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: of this. Why because during America's inflation crisis, Walmart was
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: the spot. Okay, you can get good deals all types
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: of essentials. But on yesterday Walmart said things are about
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: to get slow because consumers are growing increasingly frustrated with
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: inflation and they're concerned about President Trump's tariffs. Basically, folks
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: been broken and if people keep losing their jobs, they
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: will be broken. And if you are the reason, okay,
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: people are losing their jobs, like Elon Musk and Donald
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: Trump are in regards the federal workers, and you're putting
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: tariffs on items. Not only do I not have a job,
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: things are going to be even more expensive. So what
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: am I going to resort to doing? I tell you
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: what people will resort to doing. Trying to survive, and
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: trying to survive can look like a number of things,
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: and sometimes one of those things is shoplifted. I'm not
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: making excuses for Ashley. I'm just telling America what the
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: inevitable is when you don't take care of the least
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: of us. Nevertheless, Ashley crosses on Walmart's authorization of agency lists,
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: which prohibits her from entering any Walmart store across the country.
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: I didn't know such a list existed, but Ashley is
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: on it, and she is currently well, I don't even
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: know if currently, but she was being held on the
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: seventy five hundred dollars bond, probably still in it. She's
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: probably still in it because if he had one hundred
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: and thirty four dollars to get these items from Walmart,
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: you damn sure ain't got the seventy five hundred dollars bond.
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: All to ten percent of seven hundred and fifty dollars
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: to get out. But some donkey of the days just
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: sell themselves. Please give Ashley Cross the sweets outs of
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: the Hamiltons. Oh no, you are the dog gee of.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: The day, the dog gee.
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: Ah, it's just you feel bad for now. You don't
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: feel bad for her. She's a repeat offender.
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: She could have got a job, or maybe the first
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: offense put something on her record and she couldn't get
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: the job.
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: That is true too, But she stole from there a lot.
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you switch it up?
- 1:14:22Speaker 6: All right?
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: This is gonna sound bad, but no, you ever, you
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: ever be in so check out and be feeling like this.
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: I shouldn't have to pay for this stuff. Like some
- 1:14:34Speaker 6: of this stuff is old to me, Like maybe she
- 1:14:36Speaker 6: felt like that.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: No, I don't know what I feel like that.
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: And that's what happens when you still wiggle, When you
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: still wiggle, you know what I'm saying?
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: You get what? Yeah?
- 1:14:50Speaker 4: You so lucky you were still in when your face
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: was two different colors, because they wouldn't have recognized you
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: from me this side.
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: That is true. That is very true. If I'm on
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: camera in twenty sixteen, that's not me. Okay, that's not me.
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: It's not the same person.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: All right, Well that is donkey of the day. Now
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: when we come back, the CEO of Red Lobster will
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: be joining us, is then, mister Mola Adam Lokin.

- 1:17:02Speaker 3: people always ask, you know, who do you want to interview?
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: And I never know the answer. But then I see
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: certain people in the schedule and I'm like, damn, I
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: would like to talk to this guy, And when I
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: saw your name on the schedule, I was like, CEO
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: right last, yeah, yes, I'd like to talk to him.
- 1:17:16Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys, you guys are doing amazing things.
- 1:17:18Speaker 17: That's gonna be.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: So let's start from the beginning. How did you get
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: into fool because you just weren't the CEO of a
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: livester you with CEO of P of Chang. So how
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: did you get your start into this restaurant business.
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: And you're only thirty six?
- 1:17:29Speaker 13: Yeah?
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, really, I started by waiting tables when I
- 1:17:34Speaker 5: was young, when I was in high school, and you're
- 1:17:36Speaker 5: from I'm from Uh, I'm not jering. Originally, I went
- 1:17:38Speaker 5: to high school in Maryland, Okay, so it's nice, yeah,
- 1:17:41Speaker 5: you know, doing the uh the waiter slash runner thing
- 1:17:45Speaker 5: in high school. But in this current track, you know,
- 1:17:48Speaker 5: I started working in finance when I was in college.
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: So I started interning at Goldman Sacks when I was nineteen,
- 1:17:53Speaker 5: so seventeen years ago. Wow, So I got my first
- 1:17:57Speaker 5: internship at Goldman. I was at Brown playing football and
- 1:18:01Speaker 5: worked at Goldman for four years, and then worked at
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: a private equity firm called TPG, and then went to
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: business school and then worked at a hedge fund here
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: in New York. The reason I got into restaurants because
- 1:18:11Speaker 5: I did a restaurant deal. We bought PF Changs in
- 1:18:14Speaker 5: twenty nineteen. I worked for John Paulson, who's a famous
- 1:18:19Speaker 5: billionaire investor in New York. This firm is called Paulson
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: and Company. So I was working at a hedge fund
- 1:18:25Speaker 5: and we do a lot of things. The hedge fund's big,
- 1:18:26Speaker 5: it's you know, billions of dollars, and we do a
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: lot of different things. But one of the things that
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: we did that I suggested was to buy PF Chanks.
- 1:18:32Speaker 5: It was up for sale, so I pitched it to
- 1:18:35Speaker 5: the firm. They agreed, but I led the deal. This
- 1:18:38Speaker 5: is twenty nineteen now, so it was up for sale.
- 1:18:41Speaker 5: You know, I thought it was an interesting thing, good brand,
- 1:18:43Speaker 5: great great history, great product. I thought we could do
- 1:18:46Speaker 5: a lot of new things with it. We could a delivery,
- 1:18:48Speaker 5: we could remodel the restaurants, we could make it more interesting,
- 1:18:51Speaker 5: make it more relevant, cool. And it was all going
- 1:18:53Speaker 5: pretty well. And then COVID hit right in twenty twenty.
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: So my big restaurant deal. You know, we put hundreds
- 1:18:58Speaker 5: of millions of dollars into it and it went south
- 1:19:00Speaker 5: COVID like like everything else did.
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: So how did you get to Red Lobster?
- 1:19:03Speaker 17: Red Lobster?
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: So, you know, the PF chain's dealent well, and you know,
- 1:19:08Speaker 5: it won me some some plaudits in the industry because
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: it was difficult, right, and we.
- 1:19:12Speaker 17: Made it happen.
- 1:19:13Speaker 5: And then after that, I connected with the folks who
- 1:19:17Speaker 5: had lent money to Red Lobster before the company went bankrupt,
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: so they were in line to own it coming out
- 1:19:22Speaker 5: of bankruptcy. It's a good group called Fortress, and so
- 1:19:25Speaker 5: they asked me first to consult to provide advice, like,
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: you know, you were just spent four years running a
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: business that was in distress similar to this, you know,
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: what do you think of this situation? So I was
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: advising them at first, and then it turned into uh uh.
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: They asked me to come run it. Basically presented a plan.
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: They were like, well, like your plan, police come executed
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: for us, right. So I took over CEO coming out
- 1:19:46Speaker 5: of bankruptcy in September.
- 1:19:48Speaker 17: That's what we've been doing.
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: You know, when I first heard that story, I was
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: on the radio acting like I knew what I was
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: talking about, and I was just like, I know exactly
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: what Red Lobster should be doing. Yeah, and I felt
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: like Red Lobster should, you know, scale down from being
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: a fine dining establishment and be more like Chipotle, Like
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: you could go in there and you know you can
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: get your lobster insurance pasta right from the bar or whatever.
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: The items is just right there from the bar. Just
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: make it like a small or more Chipotle like establishment.
- 1:20:11Speaker 3: Of the polls by buying dining restaurant.
- 1:20:13Speaker 5: Well, your point about being able to get food conveniently
- 1:20:16Speaker 5: is an important one. There should be options and there
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: should be ways.
- 1:20:19Speaker 17: Where you get things you need quickly.
- 1:20:20Speaker 5: For example, our delivery business that should feel fast casualist
- 1:20:24Speaker 5: where you put it in order, it comes quickly, et cetera.
- 1:20:26Speaker 5: The way the company is set up has a cost structure.
- 1:20:29Speaker 17: That you can run it. You can run it like Chipotle.
- 1:20:32Speaker 5: For example, our restaurants they're nine to ten thousand square feet.
- 1:20:35Speaker 5: Hipolis are fifteen hundred square feet maybe two thousand max.
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: So you have a real estate footprint that you couldn't
- 1:20:40Speaker 5: run on Chipotle revenue per unit.
- 1:20:43Speaker 17: Right, you have to do more. The food we serve,
- 1:20:46Speaker 17: we serve lobster and crab.
- 1:20:48Speaker 5: You can't sell that at Chipotle price points because you
- 1:20:50Speaker 5: pay too much for those products. So there's there's structural
- 1:20:54Speaker 5: differences in the businesses that would prevent that. But that said,
- 1:20:56Speaker 5: some of the things Pole is good at you can
- 1:20:58Speaker 5: be better at, right, like delivery, digital, you know, speed
- 1:21:01Speaker 5: of service. Those are things that people care about them.
- 1:21:04Speaker 5: Definitely you can learn from it.
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: Hold on, Remember I started off by saying acting like
- 1:21:07Speaker 3: I knew what I knew, said, acting like I know.
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: So how do you say red lobster now?
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: Right? Well, so the thing is you have to lean
- 1:21:16Speaker 5: into what made it successful in the first place, right, Like,
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: what do people love about red Lobster?
- 1:21:20Speaker 17: There's reason it is what it is. Biscuits biscuits for sure.
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: And I also think a lot of us from where
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: we grew up that was you know, we went for graduation,
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: we went for celebratory. It felt like five stars, like
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: five stars until you got to make that's it. But
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: until all these other restaurants started popping up. Now, you know,
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: people look down on red Lobster when it comes to celebratory.
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: They'll go to you know, a p of changs, they'll
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: go to a towel, they'll go to an expensive steakhouse
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: because they don't look at Red Lobster as that I think,
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: but you know it's good, but you know, so how
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: do you change that way of thinking? So it used
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: to be it used to.
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: Red Lobster is the first company to take these high
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: end seafood products across the country. It was the first
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: place you could get lobster, get crab for a lot
- 1:22:12Speaker 5: of people's their first experience. I went with to Red
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: Lobster in Springfield, Illinois when I used to live there,
- 1:22:17Speaker 5: when I was in you know, nine or ten, and
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: I remember that, So I think people a lot of
- 1:22:21Speaker 5: people have these memories after church on Sundays, you know,
- 1:22:24Speaker 5: important dinners, graduation, et cetera. The it's now you can
- 1:22:29Speaker 5: get these products in different places, but we're still the
- 1:22:31Speaker 5: only company at scale that serves lobster and crab. And
- 1:22:34Speaker 5: by the way, lobster and crab are wild caught products.
- 1:22:36Speaker 5: You can't form raise them, so they catch them on boats.
- 1:22:39Speaker 5: We buy twenty five percent of the lobster that's that's
- 1:22:41Speaker 5: caught on boats in North America.
- 1:22:42Speaker 17: We buy a quarter of it.
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: We buy a quarter of the crab that's caught by
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: virtue of our size and scale we can get the
- 1:22:47Speaker 5: best product, which we do. So the lobster you get it,
- 1:22:49Speaker 5: red lobster is as good as lobster you'll get anywhere.
- 1:22:52Speaker 5: But people don't know that, No, not at all, And
- 1:22:53Speaker 5: so there's a communication aspect to it that need to
- 1:22:56Speaker 5: let people know this is the best, this is the
- 1:22:58Speaker 5: best product you can get four lobster for crab.
- 1:23:00Speaker 17: That's number one.
- 1:23:00Speaker 5: Number two, you need to give people a reason. You know,
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: you mentioned Chipotle. If we're not going to be prices
- 1:23:05Speaker 5: to Chipole, then we need to offer something and that
- 1:23:07Speaker 5: totally doesn't offer and what that is is called service
- 1:23:09Speaker 5: and hospitality. Like you need to come in, you need
- 1:23:12Speaker 5: to feel like you're welcome, you need to feel like
- 1:23:14Speaker 5: you're a guest, you need to be taken care of.
- 1:23:16Speaker 5: You need to get it in connection with your server.
- 1:23:18Speaker 5: So it's food and its service is where we.
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: Win and ambiyonce. A lot of these restaurants.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Don't look left to feels like McDonald's at times when
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: you walk out, the floors look very cold.
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: The right word outdated. I did a I did a
- 1:23:35Speaker 5: remodel project. I totally agree. I did a remodel project
- 1:23:38Speaker 5: at PF Chanin's where we remodel eighty percent of the
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: restaurants right and if you go to them now, it's red, gold,
- 1:23:42Speaker 5: black like. So that's what we you know, we did that,
- 1:23:46Speaker 5: and so this needs something similar and we're working on that.
- 1:23:48Speaker 17: That takes a bit of time.
- 1:23:50Speaker 5: You have to design it, you have to scope it,
- 1:23:52Speaker 5: you have to test it, you have to prove the results.
- 1:23:54Speaker 17: Then you have to raise the money. Then you have
- 1:23:55Speaker 17: to go. So that takes time. What you can do
- 1:23:58Speaker 17: now is improve service.
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: We launch something we're called Red Carpet Hospitality and we
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: launched that a couple of weeks ago. If you go
- 1:24:04Speaker 5: and ask the server and Red Lobster about it, they'll
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: tell you about it. Red stands for recognize, engage in delight.
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: When people walk in, you need to recognize them. As
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: soon as they walk in. There should be somebody smiling
- 1:24:12Speaker 5: at the post stand to greet them. You see somebody,
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: you're within ten feet of them, You recognize them within
- 1:24:17Speaker 5: four feet you speak to them.
- 1:24:18Speaker 17: We call the ten four rule.
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: You make sure that you know when people need to
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: go to the bathroom, you walk them there.
- 1:24:23Speaker 17: You don't point to the bathroom. You escort them.
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: You make sure that you're connecting with them, you're talking
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: with them, you asking questions. So we're training these behavioral patterns.
- 1:24:31Speaker 5: That's something you can do today, right, and then trying
- 1:24:34Speaker 5: to highlight the quality of the food and introduce them
- 1:24:36Speaker 5: new things like the lobster rolls that are fun, that
- 1:24:38Speaker 5: are interesting, so food and service. And then the third
- 1:24:40Speaker 5: point for sure is ambyonce we fix the things we
- 1:24:43Speaker 5: can fix quickly, like the music is better. If you
- 1:24:44Speaker 5: go to the Red Lobster now, you'll notice the music
- 1:24:46Speaker 5: is better. And you'll notice there's small things like we
- 1:24:49Speaker 5: put the market prices on the lobster, we put the
- 1:24:51Speaker 5: liners on the tables. There's small things you can do now,
- 1:24:53Speaker 5: but comprehensively, there needs to be a remodel, right, and
- 1:24:56Speaker 5: that's something that we'll do in the future.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: All Right, we have more with the of Red Lobster.
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: The Mola Adam Logan. When we come back is the
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is dej Envy Jess hilarious,
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: Charlamage the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: kicking in with the CEO of Red Lobster, the Mola
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: Adam Locan.
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: Yes, there was a list that women have put together, right,
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: of places that they don't want to be taken on
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: the first date. Red Labster was number eleven. Eleven, Yes,
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: it was number eleven. So what did do you? Would
- 1:25:25Speaker 4: you say that real lobster is a valley place for
- 1:25:27Speaker 4: a first date?
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: I mean lobster a first date?
- 1:25:29Speaker 17: Can you beat that?
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: Yeah? First date?
- 1:25:33Speaker 5: You want to share some main lobster, lobster tales, rock
- 1:25:35Speaker 5: lobster main right, okay.
- 1:25:39Speaker 4: But also on that list it was PF Chain's and
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: cheesecake everything.
- 1:25:45Speaker 5: I think, yes, it's these are chain restaurants, and there's
- 1:25:47Speaker 5: something about like chain versus independent. Now, if you make
- 1:25:51Speaker 5: the chain experience feel like an independent, like each restaurant's
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: its own and they have like a culture and personality,
- 1:25:58Speaker 5: then it's it doesn't feel like a chain. Yeah, and
- 1:26:01Speaker 5: there's restaurants that do that really well.
- 1:26:03Speaker 17: And we're, you know, we're working to become that.
- 1:26:04Speaker 5: But look, if you go in the date and have
- 1:26:06Speaker 5: some Cherry Bay biscuits, some lobster tail, some bar dye
- 1:26:08Speaker 5: crab like, people are gonna have a great time.
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: Did you'll stop the endless shrimp promotion? Yeah, it's done,
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: So no more endless shrimp. You got a messed up now, by.
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: The way, that was the dumb wasn't a dumb promotion.
- 1:26:20Speaker 3: But don't promise people in dless shrimp because y'all never
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: give in.
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: It was a challenge. I know people who've tried. They
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: do put a cap on it.
- 1:26:28Speaker 3: He's tried. I've been in the restaurants, but they put
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: a cap on the end the shrimp.
- 1:26:31Speaker 5: I mean, look, the way it was done didn't work.
- 1:26:34Speaker 5: I'm not saying it'll never be done, but it'll be
- 1:26:36Speaker 5: done in a way that's that's more sensible.
- 1:26:37Speaker 3: Well sensible, because you guys, I'm gonna telling what people
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: to do. Going there with four people, one person order
- 1:26:42Speaker 3: endless shrimp and they just keep bringing mass shrimp for
- 1:26:44Speaker 3: the table.
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: That's that's insensible. I mean, look, I mean these promotions
- 1:26:51Speaker 5: people do promotions like this. Olive Garden does a this
- 1:26:53Speaker 5: endless positive promotion like people do.
- 1:26:54Speaker 3: These lives is a lie. They will put a cap
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: on your fast as different.
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: Because it fills you up so fast and it's cheap.
- 1:27:04Speaker 17: Yeah yeah, and it's cheap, so they can do that.
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: You just need to the mathe need to needs to
- 1:27:08Speaker 5: make sense.
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: I'm looking at the lobster fress me and you right now.
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie. I might go around Laftter this weekend.
- 1:27:12Speaker 3: I'm not I might send me. I'm like, I never
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: took my kids the Red Loss never never, And I'm like,
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: you know, like me in the White List, take the
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: kids the Red Lobster, just to see what they know
- 1:27:22Speaker 3: what for you. No, I'm not gonna tell you I'm going,
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: but I'm gonna tell you I know exactly which one
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: I'm going to to go to. But that one look
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: a little beat up, though it looks a lot big up.
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: But I'm gonna tell you something.
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: That's why I was just asking that question.
- 1:27:36Speaker 3: They don't look I passed it every morning and in
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: my mind, you know, you just thinking nostalgia. I'm like, damn, yo,
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: back in the day when I was young, that have
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: been perfect. The hotel right there, the red lobster, right
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: thing right, the red still perfect.
- 1:27:48Speaker 17: Man, it's perfect.
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: That's a motel.
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: But think about when you were seventeen eighty, that'd have
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: been perfect, right Well.
- 1:27:57Speaker 4: Think about when Beyonce said it in the song yes
- 1:28:01Speaker 4: Me good, I take Red Lobster.
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: What did that do for the.
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: Same I was here, that was before me. It's not
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: too late though, right right, because it's not too late
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: for that. Even when Riley mentioned it on the Boon Doctors.
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: You know, the Kelsey Brothers did something with us.
- 1:28:16Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean part of part of the game
- 1:28:18Speaker 5: is to is to take advantage of cultural moments, right,
- 1:28:20Speaker 5: like when something happens in the culture, like you.
- 1:28:22Speaker 17: Want to be on it.
- 1:28:22Speaker 5: So that that's something that we weren't very good at
- 1:28:25Speaker 5: in the past and we need to get better after sure.
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: Did you even talk to him about that? Like, did
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: anybody reach out to beyond? I don't know.
- 1:28:30Speaker 5: I can't speak to that and I wasn't here. But
- 1:28:32Speaker 5: for example, Flavor Flavor, we did wanted to save the
- 1:28:36Speaker 5: you know, wanted to save Red Lobster. Did you know
- 1:28:37Speaker 5: we did a promotion with them? So there's it's it's
- 1:28:40Speaker 5: important for sure, and uh yeah, I mean look now
- 1:28:44Speaker 5: Kelsey brothers reach out, we respond the same day, right like,
- 1:28:47Speaker 5: so we're we're engaging and it's important.
- 1:28:49Speaker 3: How the weaponization of de I impacted you if at
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: all the people say, oh, he's a de I higher, No,
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: I've just been.
- 1:28:56Speaker 17: So successful throughout my life.
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: I don't get that.
- 1:28:58Speaker 5: I aim to excel at everything I do and there's
- 1:29:01Speaker 5: very little evidence of me not excelling at anything that
- 1:29:03Speaker 5: I've tried to do, from football to Brown to Goldman
- 1:29:06Speaker 5: to TBG to Harvard to there's no real l's on
- 1:29:11Speaker 5: the not saying I won't fail it anything, and I
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: have failed at plenty.
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: Let's go talk to them coaches.
- 1:29:16Speaker 16: Well, there's a record out there that's funny nobody's talking about.
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: That's a very funt but you know, and I'm not
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: saying that to Brad, But I'm just saying, you can
- 1:29:36Speaker 5: build a habit of excellence and that that's how that's
- 1:29:39Speaker 5: how you'll be viewed. Right, and so any I think
- 1:29:41Speaker 5: anybody can achieve, you just have to build these habits.
- 1:29:43Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 1:29:44Speaker 5: Right, So it's really more motivation to people who are listening.
- 1:29:47Speaker 3: What's your involvement with HBCU, What was real allowed to
- 1:29:49Speaker 3: deal with hbc Yeah?
- 1:29:50Speaker 5: Look, I mean before that, Darden the founder of Red Lobster,
- 1:29:53Speaker 5: Bill Darden, who Darden Company is named after. That's all
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: of Garden, Texas, Longhorn, et cetera. So he's an important
- 1:29:59Speaker 5: restaurant tour and American history. The first restaurant that he
- 1:30:01Speaker 5: opened was Red Lobster, and that from the very beginning
- 1:30:05Speaker 5: had a really good relationship with the Black American community.
- 1:30:08Speaker 5: This is in sixty eight, so at the very end
- 1:30:09Speaker 5: of the Civil Rights movement, but from the very beginning,
- 1:30:12Speaker 5: black people were welcome to eat there, welcome to work there.
- 1:30:14Speaker 17: And that was stan City from the very beginning.
- 1:30:17Speaker 5: So it's always had a good relationship with Black America
- 1:30:20Speaker 5: from the start. You mentioned Beyonce mess Flavor flav It's
- 1:30:23Speaker 5: always had a position in culture. I'm just acknowledging it
- 1:30:26Speaker 5: and speaking to it and doing more for that to
- 1:30:29Speaker 5: try to build that. So HBCUs. We did Band of
- 1:30:32Speaker 5: the Year, right, We went to watch the band's perform.
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: Fan Move won, Miles won for the junior division, and
- 1:30:38Speaker 5: we gave the awards out. We sponsored it red Lobster,
- 1:30:41Speaker 5: and you know, millions of dollars went to scholarships and
- 1:30:43Speaker 5: things like that. So we're going to do more. You know,
- 1:30:46Speaker 5: that's a start, But it's an important community. It's one
- 1:30:48Speaker 5: that has been connected to the brand for a long time,
- 1:30:50Speaker 5: and it's a good place to spend time and spend
- 1:30:53Speaker 5: money on our behalf.

- 1:34:01Speaker 25: on time, I'm gonna keep pushing it. I got this
- 1:34:02Speaker 25: new Coco Jones Taste Records that I really like the
- 1:34:07Speaker 25: Britneys but made it like slower and sensual. And then
- 1:34:10Speaker 25: my very last one, this came out on Valentine's Day,
- 1:34:12Speaker 25: but I was sick.
- 1:34:13Speaker 6: But I'm a big fan.
- 1:34:14Speaker 25: No, I mean, I mean, obviously, yes, Drake dropped too,
- 1:34:18Speaker 25: but he gets enough tension and.
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: It ain't that good right from a woman.
- 1:34:24Speaker 25: I always say, I'm trying to Drake complain about women
- 1:34:26Speaker 25: on records.
- 1:34:26Speaker 9: It's like an R and B project, but.
- 1:34:28Speaker 7: It's not love songs GA like one song on that.
- 1:34:31Speaker 25: Tiffany with the Chanel and the I don't want to
- 1:34:33Speaker 25: hear it like I want to hear love.
- 1:34:35Speaker 9: I want to hear something real R and B. So
- 1:34:37Speaker 9: but speaking of real R and B, let's get into it.
- 1:34:39Speaker 6: Marie, but just dropped the album.
- 1:34:40Speaker 9: Marie was one of my favorites.
- 1:34:41Speaker 25: She's a part of this village village and my favorite
- 1:34:44Speaker 25: song on her project is called Hawk.
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: You said it's an R and B. See what is
- 1:34:49Speaker 4: R and B anymore? You were upset at Drake for
- 1:34:51Speaker 4: not sounding like R and B. But that wouldn't that's
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: not like R and B. I love it though.
- 1:34:59Speaker 9: I think that the only record on there where she
- 1:35:01Speaker 9: had like a verse.
- 1:35:02Speaker 6: She's not a rapper at all.
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she sounds like she's doing it like a doperson.
- 1:35:08Speaker 25: No no, no, she's not a singer, but she's like
- 1:35:11Speaker 25: she's more classical.
- 1:35:14Speaker 3: Well you should have introduced her singing from but.
- 1:35:15Speaker 6: She does R and B and R and B does.
- 1:35:21Speaker 4: I could see where you're going with that little bit
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: of poppy rappers. That sounds like it wasn't good.
- 1:35:25Speaker 6: She sounded great value. Y'all are in disrespect.
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: No, I'm not trying to disrespect. I'm just saying that's
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: how it sounds like. Whenever you sound like a second
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: rate version of anybody, you know, that's what I'm gonna say.
- 1:35:35Speaker 25: But Mari, but really doesn't sound like anybody like She's
- 1:35:38Speaker 25: right there.

- 1:39:48Speaker 22: of the most notable chants at Winston Salem State University

- 1:40:40Speaker 22: the part of Florida they gave fam was the highest heel,
- 1:40:43Speaker 22: but it was filled with rattlesnakes. So the state of

- 1:40:52Speaker 22: Turned it into one of the top HBCUs in the country.
- 1:40:56Speaker 22: They embraced those rattlesnakes and became the fam You rat
- 1:41:00Speaker 22: And if you meet any Rattler, they'll let you know
- 1:41:03Speaker 22: that they're from the highest of seven hills.
- 1:41:06Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:41:06Speaker 22: Fam You sits at the highest points in Tallahassee, Florida.
- 1:41:10Speaker 22: Even Florida State got to look up at the Rattlers
- 1:41:13Speaker 22: and they hate that. Fam You is so iconic it
- 1:41:17Speaker 22: makes you want to enroll just for homecoming, no cap
- 1:41:20Speaker 22: I experienced it last year. And don't let the march
- 1:41:22Speaker 22: in one hundred touch the field? Have you ever seen
- 1:41:24Speaker 22: them before? The band might do as much work as
- 1:41:27Speaker 22: the football team on Saturdays. And Fam You has some
- 1:41:30Speaker 22: of the dopest alumni in the game. Keisha Lance Bottoms,
- 1:41:33Speaker 22: the former mayor of Atlanta. Fam You grad What about
- 1:41:36Speaker 22: the movie director Will Packer here rattler and he even
- 1:41:39Speaker 22: got a perform in Arts Amphitheater right on campus. So
- 1:41:43Speaker 22: whether it's Winston Salem State University with the motto enter
- 1:41:46Speaker 22: to Learn, depart to serve in the heart of North
- 1:41:49Speaker 22: Carolina or Fam You with the motto excellence, it's carrying
- 1:41:54Speaker 22: down there in the sunshine State.
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: These schools are more than just campuses.
- 1:41:58Speaker 22: They're launching pads for greatness and they're two of my favorites.

- 1:42:09Speaker 3: And salute to my guy bet Dot. Make sure you
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: subscribe to I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either on
- 1:42:13Speaker 3: the Black Effect. iHeart Radio podcast network available everywhere you
- 1:42:16Speaker 3: listen to podcasts.
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, we got the positive
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: note is the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning. Everybody is
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: DJ env Jess hilarious, Chelamaine the guy. We are the
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. Load on the Rosa filling in for Jess.
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: We gotta salute Jasmine Crockett Congresswoman Jasmin Crockett for stopping
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: through Man.
- 1:42:31Speaker 3: Always a pleasure when Jasmine pulls up Man. The reason
- 1:42:34Speaker 3: I like Jazmine so much is because she's just able
- 1:42:36Speaker 3: to communicate in message, and that is a problem that
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: the Democrats have. They should be leaning on Jasmine Crockett
- 1:42:45Speaker 3: for her messaging. They should be leaning on AOC for
- 1:42:48Speaker 3: her messaging. Whatever they trying to tell people, they need
- 1:42:50Speaker 3: to tell them first so they can translate and then
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: bring it to the masses.
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: And also salute to the CEO of Red Lobster, Demola
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: Adam Lokin. I know I said his name wrong, but
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: he's to see you a Red Lops but you.
- 1:43:00Speaker 3: Know, and once again I told him during the interview,
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: he's one of those people that folks always ASKU. It's like,
- 1:43:05Speaker 3: what's your favorite interview? Or you know, who do you

- 1:43:09Speaker 3: to interview, Like it's never a thing, like I'm never
- 1:43:11Speaker 3: sitting around thinking like the only person I ever wanted
- 1:43:13Speaker 3: the interview was Judy Bloom, like wanted to like that's
- 1:43:16Speaker 3: my whole life. But when I saw his name on
- 1:43:18Speaker 3: the schedule, I'm like, that's somebody I wanted to talk to.
- 1:43:20Speaker 3: I'm glad we got to have that conversation. Yes, all right,
- 1:43:23Speaker 3: Well you got a positive note I do. My positive
- 1:43:27Speaker 3: note is simple. I want everybody out there to remember this.
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: Successful people have a sense of gratitude. Unsuccessful people have
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: a sense of entitlement.
