That album is hard, but that top remix,

1:24

Oh my god, step yeah,

1:26

a little dirt that I can't walk by, Pete. Every

1:28

day I wake up to some brand new hate. You should

1:30

listen to the mixed more man, you would hear songs like that install

1:33

if you would do it live like you used to, and

1:35

I'd be sitting in here listening to do music,

1:38

1:40

no turntables here exactly, geting

1:43

1:54

him now because y'all wasn't talking to me about him before. Is

1:59

I don't know. Sloth to Daniel though it's

2:01

a death chair, but I'm not sure my white producing

2:04

here, he's one of our producer.

2:06

Putting me on is one of our top five

2:09

lip service interviews. I

2:11

love that record, though, I really I got problems

2:13

with this because I won't be fake love it.

2:16

I got my first shout of the vaccine yesterday,

2:20

So what are you looking at me like that? I'm

2:23

just looking to see what the big gonna grow from now. Man,

2:27

it's like the big growing out his neck this morning. Trip

2:30

No, man, he come down. Look

2:32

like the Beijing on your throat? Does that touch a drum?

2:34

Touches throat um?

2:37

Are you talking about? Yeah? So I took I took

2:39

the first shot of the vaccine.

2:41

Murda, A little weak shot.

2:44

You look a little weak, white, your eyes red shut,

2:51

be watching. I gotta go back on the twenty fifth of

2:53

next month to get my second shot, So I

2:56

twitch you. Yeah, what's wrong with you? Man? Good

2:58

money? Man? Now, how did you man? Is to get the shot?

3:01

The same thing, the same reason I tell you guys yesterday.

3:03

You know, if you

3:04

go, you

3:07

know, at the end of the day, a lot of these pharmacies and hospitals

3:09

and testing places vaccine places.

3:11

I should say, they have to use

3:14

it. If they don't use it, it goes bad. So I

3:16

was just waiting around and like I did yesterday

3:18

and yesterday the sential worker came. H

3:20

Well, the day before, an essential worker came. Yesterday,

3:22

no essential worker came, and I was the only one there about

3:24

to get rid of it, so they gave it to me. So

3:27

that's how I got the shot. So he was just hanging out outside of the the pharmacy

3:29

waiting for a leftover drugs. Basically,

3:33

yeah, pretty much. All right, Well, speaking of drugs, we

3:35

gotta a

3:37

great guest this morning. Yes, his name

3:39

is doctor Karl Hearts. Yes, I

3:41

enjoyed doctor Carl Hearts conversation.

3:43

Yes, he is the doctor that I

3:46

don't want to say. He's a Is he a function

3:48

in heroin user? Yes, he is a function functioning

3:51

heroin user. He

3:53

uses drugs. He has a book out called Drug Use for

3:55

Grown Ups, Chasing Liberty and Land

3:58

of Fear. Right. Yeah, so he talks

4:00

about his drug use, him using heroin

4:02

and some other drugs, and how

4:04

he's functioning, how he's still a professor, and he's

4:07

an American neuroscientist, but he

4:10

studies drugs. So what he tells you

4:12

to do, the average person probably

4:15

couldn't do. Nobody should

4:18

because and he studies

4:20

the effects on the brain. So he

4:22

also wanted to see what with Darrow would be like,

4:25

and he knows how to micro dose and he but

4:27

it's a lot of things that you might not do

4:30

because you're not an expert. Anyway,

4:32

I don't think heroin is a drug that you should be doing recreationally.

4:35

No, no, no, there's a lot of drugs

4:37

like, I mean, it's not I I don't think you should be doing crack recreation.

4:44

You know. But he talks about his drug use, he wrote

4:46

a book about it. He's a professor. But we're

4:48

not here to judge just because we may not necessarily

4:51

agree, but we will. We will have the

4:53

conversation with him this morning. I just

4:55

can't get into the you know, mold of telling people just

4:58

say yes, that's just yeah,

5:00

I'm with the motor No, don't try

5:02

it, don't use it. It's not okay. What if

5:05

you're in the hospital and they prescribe it. I've

5:07

never gonna prescribe heroin. Prescribe

5:10

what heroin? Yeah, heroin

5:12

for well, not crack, but heroin. Yeah.

5:15

The type of open, definite people get.

5:17

People get addicted to those Like the opioid

5:19

death rate is through the roof right now. Opioid

5:21

overdose death rate, it's through the roof

5:23

right now. You know, I do a lot of real estate,

5:26

and we do a lot of real estate and messed up areas, and

5:28

I would say seventy to eighty percent of the time

5:30

when I walk in these houses, you would see a heroin

5:33

fiend in there and needles everywhere. And

5:35

then when you have conversations with them, they usually

5:37

come from a great family or a nice

5:39

family, or a lot of times family

5:42

with money, but they got addicted and they can't get out.

5:44

Yeah, I just can't stop and they have to

5:46

continue to have this this drug. This drug

5:49

took their life over and they went to rehab

5:51

and they can't get out. They can't kick it, they can't beat

5:53

it. So I've seen it. I had family members

5:55

that odeed or drugs. So I don't play with drugs like I'm

5:57

not even trying, like no, Like Heroin

6:00

is the most addictive and it's the hardest to get off.

6:02

But to your point, when you've seen

6:04

a dopege, yes, you're not cant encourage

6:06

nobody to do that recreationally otherwise.

6:09

But we'll talk about it all right, Front Page News. What

6:11

we're talking about, Well, let's talk about the X Team

6:13

USA gym nastics coach John gettart

6:15

he is dead. We'll tell you what

6:17

happened everything, every

6:22

boy, Hi, whatever, I don't know. He started

6:24

talking to me. Nick cameraman looked

6:26

at me and say, why are you talking about Mars? I

6:29

said what? And he said, we landed on Mars.

6:32

What are you talking about? Its gates? All

6:34

right, Well, let's get in some front page news.

6:37

Where we start, Well,

6:39

let's start with John Gettt, the coach of the

6:42

legendary twenty twelve team USA gymnastics

6:44

team. Now, he was charged with multiple accounts

6:46

of human trafficking and sexual assault. He faced

6:49

us up to life in prison, and

6:51

he's six he's sixty three years old. But

6:53

they say he should not be celebrated as some great

6:55

coach. He actually sexually assaulted

6:58

an unidentified person in twenty twelve who was between

7:00

the ages of thirteen and sixteen. But

7:02

the charges he's facing twenty counts

7:04

of human trafficking, two counts of sexual

7:06

assault, one count of racketarian, one

7:08

count of lying to a peace officer. Well,

7:11

now he is dead, according to state officials,

7:13

and they said he took his own life after sexual

7:15

assault child charges were filed against

7:17

him. Gunshot wound. They

7:20

said he died yesterday afternoon. I

7:22

know you even heard him towards this. Now. He actually

7:25

has ties to Larry

7:27

Nassar. You know him, that was the

7:29

tennis no Olympic coach.

7:32

Well Nassar was the team doctor for the

7:34

gymnastics team. Yeah, he was a doctor, so

7:37

he um. Yeah, they have some ties with each

7:39

other too, So he's no longer

7:41

here all right. A survey shows

7:43

that thirty eight percent of Americans would

7:45

give up sex if they could travel

7:47

again. They would give up sex for a year in

7:50

order to be able to travel again. So no

7:52

from me, not me. That's what I love going.

7:54

I love traveling to have sex with my wife. That's what having

7:58

sex and exotically travel

8:00

of taking my wife. But you haven't sex there anyway? Hello,

8:05

Well you guys could also have connections

8:07

in other ways too, we do. You

8:09

could travel together and not have sex and

8:11

to have great deep conversation. I'm

8:14

not with that. I would venture

8:16

to say that those thirty eight percent of people probably weren't

8:19

having sex anyway. How much sex are they having

8:21

prior to them giving it up? That's what I would

8:23

like tell people that, like man, I haven't traveled in

8:25

a year. I need to go somewhere.

8:28

I haven't traveled in it yet, but I'm

8:30

good. Yeah, I'll take I'm much

8:32

rather than my destination be my wife's John damn

8:35

much. You know, I'm fine with that, all right. The Senate has

8:37

ruled against including including the

8:39

increase in the minimum wage and the COVID relief bill.

8:41

They decided that last night. How much

8:43

so when they ruled against it,

8:46

Yeah, fifteen dollars an hour. So what

8:48

they are saying is they believe that they do believe that

8:50

it will pass easier, the COVID relief bill without

8:52

the minimum wage in it. But of course Democrats

8:55

feel like, no, we need to have this in the bill. It's very

8:58

important, and Republicans are the ones that

9:00

are against it. So Biden is

9:02

disappointed in this outcome. He proposed having

9:04

the fifteen dollar minimum wage as part of the American

9:06

Rescue Plan, and he respects

9:09

their decision in the sentence process, but they

9:11

still want to make sure that bill gets passed. Yeah, I gotta

9:13

talk to somebody way smarter than me on this, because

9:16

I thought Democrats had control of

9:18

the Senate. Yeah, I thought Kamala Harris

9:20

was the tiebreaker and all of that type of stuff. Don't

9:23

you have to have like two thirds or something.

9:25

I don't know. That's why I gotta talk to somebody smarter than me. I

9:28

have no idea. All right, well that

9:30

is your front page news. All right, get

9:32

it off your chests. Eight hundred five eight five

9:35

one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right

9:37

now, phone line to wide open. It's the Breakfast

9:39

Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

9:46

This is your time to get it off your chests, whether you're

9:48

mad or blest. Hello,

9:51

who's this was going on? Man? I

9:54

want to say an emental if I can. It's kind of

9:56

a first situation. It's the radio. You

9:59

just give us a fake. What would you want your name to be?

10:01

If you could choose any name? Mike

10:03

say Mike, Hey Mike, what's happening? Good morning?

10:06

Mico? Might get it off your chest? Bike? Um

10:08

No, I've been going through it, man.

10:10

I'm trying to trying to secure a place

10:12

to live. Man, and I'm twenty nine years

10:15

old. I have a good credit score, I

10:17

have money for a down payment and for you

10:20

know, closing costs and stuff. But I can't

10:22

find nobody to help me because

10:24

I don't have I mean, I don't have the income

10:26

to get the house. And I've been in a wheelchair

10:29

for the past ten years, going through rehabilitation

10:32

after getting shot, and you know,

10:35

open heart surgery and stuff like that. So

10:37

I haven't had the work history that everybody's

10:40

asking me for. And man,

10:42

I got seven months left on my least. I'm playing

10:44

eighteen hundred dollars a month and

10:47

my rental history doesn't even matter. And

10:49

I'm about to be on the street with my three kids.

10:51

I'm a stepfather to three kids. You know what I'm

10:53

saying. What money do you have coming in monthly?

10:55

Do you have an income coming in monthly? Yeah? I mean

10:58

I'm a government assistance you know what I'm saying. But

11:00

they don't give me nearly enough for

11:02

them to approve me for a loan. Right.

11:05

Well, See, that's the thing. If any bank won't

11:07

give you a loan, I mean, as far

11:09

as what you make. There's different ways

11:11

they can do a loan. They can actually do it as far as checking

11:13

your deposits and see how much you actually deposit a

11:15

month, But you got to show some money coming

11:17

in. You just can't say I can afford this house. Trust

11:19

me, like, you gotta have some type of income

11:21

coming in where you can show the lenders that

11:23

it's okay that you can pay that loan. Though. Yeah,

11:25

I mean I've been trying, and it's like

11:27

I'm going everywhere that I can to get a job for

11:30

leave. But even if I get a job right

11:32

now, nobody hiring for COVID. You

11:34

know, I've been trying my best man, but like,

11:37

I's got suffering money. But I'm gonna be on the street,

11:39

and I know there's somebody out there that can help

11:41

me out to finance me. I have money coming

11:43

to them from the government. How much money

11:45

you got coming in from the government, About eight

11:48

hundreds a month? So how do you pay the rest of your

11:50

rent? The rest of the thousand dollars for your rent? I

11:52

mean, I have people that helped me out and stuff. You

11:54

know, I'll do sign all to underside

11:57

whatever I can, and you know,

11:59

I just try to make money as much as possible

12:01

throughout the weeks to come. But every month,

12:04

you know, being eighteen hundred dollars of months

12:07

is crazy. And if I had a house,

12:09

I wouldn't be a kneel of that much. No, I mean, yeah,

12:11

because if you had a house. But you know what, you know what you could do.

12:13

Let me put you on the line with with Matt

12:15

because what they can do is they can do an asset lending,

12:18

and asset lending is pretty much saying if

12:20

you buy purchase a two family house, you

12:23

you make the money or for the other apartments,

12:25

and that's how you pay your part of the rent. Maybe that's

12:27

an option for you, especially since you have the down

12:29

payment and everything already and enough

12:31

for the closing course. So hold on, let me put you on the on

12:33

the line with with one of my people and see

12:35

if they can help you. I

12:38

don't know, I don't know if they can, but I

12:40

mean it might be a good way to go, because

12:42

you know that way you can say the two apartments,

12:45

pay your rent and pay your mortgage, and

12:47

then you just live in the on the last apartment

12:49

with your family. That might be an option. I

12:52

wanted to do anything because, like I said, I

12:54

got I got three kids and a white man.

12:56

I don't want to be on the street. I don't want to lose my family,

13:00

my life right now, hold on, brother, thank

13:02

you all right, get it off your chest. Eight

13:04

hundred five eight five one oh five one. If

13:06

you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's the Breakfast

13:08

Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club

13:14

of Yo. This is your time to get it off your

13:17

chest, whether you're mad or blast.

13:19

Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We

13:21

want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Okay,

13:23

what's up? Get it off your chest. Let me

13:25

tell you something. There's a famous celebrity

13:28

from the forties that looks like a combination of you,

13:31

envy and charlot me. I

13:33

want to know if you ever heard of a celebrity named

13:35

reck Ingram. Never

13:37

heard of never heard of him, I ever heard

13:39

of the names to booth. Nope, that's

13:41

the famous and then actor. You should do the rigging

13:44

next stuff like that. There was a genie, his

13:46

name is rech Ingram. When he opens up the bottle, he

13:48

looks exactly like a combination of you and

13:51

envy. Well you sharlow me.

13:53

He has your stuff and eyebrowsers. So let

13:56

me go look at this hands and man, let me google him. Thank

13:58

you, mama, An don't look

14:00

nothing like me, that nothing like getting I'm

14:03

looking looking at him right now. He was an

14:05

actor. I'm looking at him right now. He was an actor

14:07

in eighteen hundreds eighteen

14:11

ninety five. He was born, though

14:14

I died in nineteen sixty nine. Jelly

14:18

Belly from Boston. Hey, Jelly Belly,

14:20

get it off for

14:24

Charlamagne? Right, Yes, Jelly.

14:26

When you started therapy, do

14:28

you remember the first UM

14:31

interview that you did that you transformed?

14:33

Do you realize you was you change? Oh?

14:38

I don't. I would have to give it some thought for some reason.

14:40

Why G popped in my head just now because

14:43

I remember having a conversation with YG

14:46

about therapy when he was here.

14:49

I think this was after Nipsey

14:52

past. Maybe I'm not sure. You

14:54

know what that Nipsey moment, I realized

14:57

I had changed too, because I never thought I would

14:59

have pay for the person who

15:02

actually killed Nipsey, you know what I mean. I

15:05

looked at that brother and I was like, man, that brother had to be

15:07

in some real pain. He had to be dealing with

15:09

some real trauma to to do

15:11

that, to do that to Nipsey, not just shoot him, but

15:13

would kick him the way that he did that. That

15:16

that moment, I definitely felt

15:18

the real change. Absolutely. Okay,

15:21

And what about ye and um

15:23

Envy? Did you guys see a change after his

15:25

therapy session, that you guys were scared

15:28

afterwards, or like Charlemagne,

15:30

I would say this, he got a little he got more kinkier.

15:33

So like you know, I can tell that he needed some more

15:35

love. Like I guess, he wanted more self love

15:38

and more outside love. So he comes in asking

15:40

for more hugs. He stands behind

15:42

me more. I do see that. I've been going to

15:44

therapy though since twenty sixteen. Thank you, Mama. No,

15:47

that's fine. Lead with love, that's all. That's

15:50

all I got to say. Lee would love everybody. I

15:52

love, Thank you, Thank you. Hello. Who's this Hey?

just I'm unable to do it. Man. I

16:25

raised my credit from five

16:27

forty all the way to seven eighty, and

16:29

then I told her man, for some reason,

16:32

cop of the one place that

16:35

I missed a payment or something like that in my credit

16:37

drop from seven eighty

16:39

to like six forty, and right

16:42

now I raised it right back up to seven ten. And I'm

16:44

it's just hard for me to get alone. Man, I

16:46

don't know what to do. Um, well, you hold

16:48

on a line. I gotta credit. Do that that I get your credit

16:50

back up, and then it's just a matter of

16:52

finding a property. Do you have income coming in? Oh

16:55

yeah, man, I worked on a wife's work. I get

16:57

income from the military, so the

17:01

income is not a problem. Okay,

17:03

all right, and then um yeah, we should

17:05

be able to find this is your first time, your first time purchasing

17:07

the home, first time? Man, Oh yeah, so you'll

17:09

qualifying the regulations.

17:11

All right. You hold on him and I put you on my guy

17:13

that could possibly get you a loan. I want to say this

17:15

to this brother too. Man. This is why America

17:18

pisses me off, because this is a veteran who

17:21

you know, was on the front lines for our

17:23

country. I feel like all veterans should get free

17:25

healthcare. You should get all you should get

17:27

free room in board, right, and you

17:29

should get like a stipend every month to

17:32

take care of you know, whatever, whatever your

17:34

needs are, you should be getting taken care of for the rest

17:36

of your life. You should not be in this position at all.

17:38

Yeah. I thought they had special programs from veterans.

17:40

I know in Detroit they do now they have special

17:42

programs for veterans. And then they have FHR loans

17:45

where he would only have to put down three percent or three

17:47

and a half percent. But um, yeah, I'll

17:49

get you with a mortgage guy that can help you out

17:51

and hopefully he can get you put point you in the right

17:53

direction. Right, man, I definitely appreciate that.

17:56

Man, God bless y'all. Man, his name is Matt.

17:58

I'm gonna put you on with Matt, master guy that gets a people

18:00

loans. All right,

18:02

all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five

18:04

A five one oh five one. And that's the reason why I do those

18:06

seminars, to try to teach people so people don't go in the

18:09

wrong direction. And you can help

18:11

people get loans, and there's different ways.

18:13

And the people that I'm around its way smarter than

18:15

me when it comes to real estate, and I can ask them and

18:17

ain't no ways, and they've been able to do this a

18:19

million times before, and the next seminar,

18:21

we're doing this in Atlanta on March

18:24

fourteenth, where we break it down everywhere

18:26

from vets to fah loans,

18:29

to first time home buyers, to investment

18:31

properties to multi units to all that.

18:34

We bring everybody from credit repair to attorneys,

18:37

to contractors, to conventional

18:39

lending to hard money lending. We break it all down

18:42

because we really try to help people. I know Drama's been

18:44

one of the seminars and he recently pursedes

18:46

his crib and we just try to help as many people

18:48

as possible because I want to see people, you know,

18:50

owning their own homes instead of renting. So hopefully

18:52

we'll see you guys in Atlanta on the fourteenth.

18:55

All right, now, we got rooms on the way, yes,

18:57

and we'll be talking about Mike Tyson he to

19:00

boycott Hulu. We'll tell you why. All

19:02

right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Moore,

19:05

the Breakfast Club team.

19:13

This is the rumor rapport with Angela

19:16

Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well,

19:20

Mike Tyson wants you to boycott

19:22

Hulu. Now. He put out a statement on his

19:24

Instagram page. He said, these

19:27

actions taken by Hulu are just the tip of

19:29

the iceberg. We shouldn't be surprised

19:31

by these abhorrent actions, as they represent

19:33

the systemic racism that has plagued Hollywood

19:35

for its entire existence. These corporate

19:38

giants hide behind employees and praise themselves

19:40

for offering tone deaf attempts at diversity

19:42

and inclusion, like Hulu's Black Stories

19:45

playlists that recommends stories about black culture

19:47

to viewers on the app. Yet behind closed

19:50

doors, they steal stories from the black

19:52

community, all because they are doing an unauthorized

19:54

mini series of the Tyson Story without

19:56

compensation. Yeah. I never understood

19:59

unauthor unauthorized book or

20:01

documentaries or movies about people,

20:03

Like how can someone just make something about you,

20:06

use your name, your story, your likeness, and that

20:08

compensate you. I've never understood that.

20:12

Well, Mike Tyxon is, by the way, doing his own

20:14

authorized autobiography

20:17

too. That story is in development, so it will

20:19

be coming in coming out soon.

20:22

But there's nothing you can do about it, right, it

20:25

seems always it is always something you can do. I'm

20:27

sure, and I'm sure it's some type of legal action.

20:29

I think people don't be wanting to, you know, go down that

20:31

road because you know, these networks got so much

20:33

goddamn money. You know what I meaning? These companies

20:36

you're trying to go up and gets got so much money. But I

20:38

don't get it. You think people were boycott

20:40

Hulu? Um,

20:43

I don't see why not? Why not? I

20:45

just want to make sure we put it out there because Dave Chappelle

20:47

clearly did it. Or you know, even

20:49

with the Dave Chappelle's situation is different, right because everybody

20:52

says yeah, but everybody said he boycotted.

20:54

But also what really helped Dave was HBO

20:56

Max removing it and Netflix removing it.

20:58

You think people would have boycotted those shows were still

21:00

up there without those networks taking that down.

21:03

I think it's easier. I think he said he didn't

21:05

want people to watch it, so he told them don't

21:08

watch it, don't stream it because it was on for

21:10

a little while. And then when they

21:11

they gonna make any money

21:13

from it too. Yeah, I think it helps when the network

21:16

supports the artist, supports

21:18

the creative. All right now, Nicki Minaj her

21:20

barbs are sending death threats to Claudia

21:23

Jordan. I know,

21:25

right, all right, So this is what Claudia Jordan said,

21:28

and you know, she has a show on Fox Soul, and

21:31

she was telling a story about running into Meek Mill

21:33

and Nicki minaj Here's what she said. Meek got

21:35

upset about someone trying to take a

21:37

picture of them in restaurant. But I'm like, it's

21:40

Nicki Minaje, the biggest

21:42

rapper of all time at the time, and

21:44

Meek Mills like they're a hot celebrity rap

21:46

couple, and of course someone's gonna try to

21:48

take a picture, and he like made a scene. I

21:50

remember feeling pretty like kind of bad Nicki. She

21:52

was like yo, okay, port nick She

21:55

was trying to control her guy like just chill,

21:57

just chill, and he was just like I

21:59

think and we were one table

22:01

over. It was like super uncomfortable. What did

22:03

she say that was bad? The part where

22:05

she said Nikki was I guess the hottest

22:08

And then she said at that time, Oh,

22:11

you know, it's funny. I saw when this first

22:13

happened, and I was like, oh, the barbs are going to be mad.

22:16

I didn't hear that, util you just said it, and that's what they

22:18

were mad about. And she wasn't trying to insult Nicki

22:20

Minaj. No, it's jay Z who said before

22:22

that you're you're you're only going to be like that white

22:24

hot artist once. You know

22:26

what I'm saying, you can always be consistently hot.

22:29

But that that that time when this year a moment

22:31

like you know, that's that's a few years were

22:34

sending out death threats. Listen to what Claudia

22:36

had to say, Yeah, doing a little

22:39

death threats and the you know, i'most

22:41

spit on you when I see you because you talked about Meek

22:43

Mills and I found you was trying to

22:45

shade her in your compliment Claudia,

22:47

you can definitely tell her story because it's her story to tell,

22:49

But what was the context? What was the reason she was She

22:52

was talking about Meek Mill and how

22:54

he was a little acting out. So

22:56

in the course of the story, she's talking about seeing

22:59

Nikki and Meek out together and how Meek was

23:01

really upset and kind of embarrassing Nikki.

23:05

So that was it. She wasn't trying to insult Nicki

23:07

Minaj, but they took it that way, all

23:10

right. Natri is going to be co

23:12

lead opposite Eve in a new

23:14

ABC show that ABC hour long pilot

23:17

is called Queens. So it's

23:19

four strange and out of touch women and their forties

23:21

reuniting for a chance to recapture their fame

23:24

and regain the swagger they had as

23:26

the Nasty Bitches. It was a group in the nineties

23:29

that made them legends in the hip hop. Well, well,

23:32

so what she's not gonna be on Power Normal? She

23:34

is still they said, she is still going

23:37

to be. She's no longer a series regular. Yep.

23:39

Sound to me like some mighty character might be getting killed

23:41

off, But she is. They said, gonna

23:43

reprise her role in some fashion down the road.

23:46

So I don't know what's happening on the next

23:48

season. Of course, they're not going to tell you because they're shooting

23:51

the new season of Goals and now I believe, so

23:53

we shall see. But so congratulations

23:56

to my girl Natri. Also, Tyler

23:58

Perry has another drama that's going to be a BT plus

24:00

and it's called All the Queen's Men, and

24:03

that's going to follow the female owner of an upscale

24:05

strip club in Atlanta who is savvy and charming.

24:07

They said they're going to be shooting that in Georgia and Atlanta.

24:10

Okay, All right, Britney Spears.

24:13

Her mom has denied calling Columbus

24:15

short the N word. Now, he had done

24:17

an interview and he was

24:19

talking about the

24:22

incident that happened. He was a backup dancer

24:24

for Britney Spears, by the way, and he had choreographed

24:27

her tour back in two thousand and four. He

24:29

was on Jazzy Bell's YouTube show Inside

24:31

Hollywood earlier this month and he said this,

24:33

like, I wasn't shocked when it happened.

24:36

Look where they're from. They're from a Louisiana.

24:38

Just because they're in Hollywood, you know they have black

24:40

bodyguards. Don't mean that they don't behind closed doors

24:42

use that word. And the way it came out was so

24:45

effortless. Did you ever felt that Britney

24:47

Spears was racist? Well after

24:49

that, I felt like maybe she

24:51

was using me to piss them off for

24:54

some reason. But I don't know. No, I think

24:56

she is a really sweet

24:58

person that was toward tormented.

25:01

I liking it to like Princess Diana, she was

25:03

the pop princess of this one of the world. Yeah,

25:06

I just pulled it up on us Weekly, you know. Her

25:08

mom replied, I know, I got it right here. Okay,

25:10

she said, nigga, please, I would never no.

25:15

Her mom, Lynn Spears denied

25:17

it, and she said, I want to be very clear, those

25:19

terrible words are not remotely in my vocabulary.

25:22

She said that to The New York Post, page six. I

25:24

would never say that to anyone, much less my

25:26

daughter. Ever. He has it in

25:28

his book too, by the way. All right, well

25:30

that is your rumor report.

25:33

All right, now we got FROMT page News. Next we'll be talking about.

25:36

Yes, let's talk about this is George Floyd Police

25:38

Reform bill. House Democrats

25:40

have reintroduced that bill finally. All

25:42

right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good

25:44

morning, Billy Jean, Billy Jean

25:47

morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,

25:49

Angela Guee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast

25:51

Club. Let's getting too front page News

25:54

where we're starting easy. Oh, I wanted to

25:56

clarify something earlier. I know Charlomagne had a question

25:58

about the minimum wage and the COVID relief bill.

26:01

Well, they had ruled against even putting

26:03

that in the bill for COVID relief. That's why it's not

26:05

in it. It's not that it didn't pass, it's

26:08

just that they ruled that they couldn't put it in the actual

26:10

COVID relief package that bill.

26:13

They'll have to do that separately. So that's

26:16

why it's not there. It's not that it was voted on all

26:18

right now. House Democrats also reintroduced

26:21

policing legislation that is

26:23

named in honor of George Floyd, the George

26:25

Floyd Justice and Policing Act of twenty

26:27

twenty one. That's what the bill is called. They

26:29

want to overhaul qualified immunity for law enforcement

26:31

and prohibitions on racial profiling on the part of

26:33

law enforcement, and a ban on no knock

26:36

warrants and federal drug cases. They could vote

26:38

on this proposal as soon as next week.

26:41

Yeah, finally, you know, the George Floyd Policing

26:44

Act, making weed legal, decriminalizing

26:46

weed, whatever it is. Those are some things

26:48

I thought, you know, they would have knocked out of the park

26:50

asap, because those are things that they actually

26:52

were running on. You know, those were reasons

26:55

they were telling us we should vote if you want to George Floyd Policing

26:57

Act, if you want you know, marijuana

26:59

legal, vote Democrat. So

27:01

they should have knocked that out of the park early, gets

27:04

done. Next week. Joe Biden posted on Twitter,

27:07

I'm pleased at the House, but vote next week on the George

27:09

Floyd Justice and Policing Act. I encourage the House

27:11

to pass it following Senate consideration.

27:13

I hope to be able to sign it into law. A

27:15

landmark police to perform worm bill.

27:18

So I know he came in and did

27:20

all these things immediately, but the main thing

27:22

is you want to make sure that it becomes an actual

27:25

law so that it's not something the next president

27:27

can overturn. All

27:29

right, now, let's discuss this supposed

27:33

object that could have been a UFO. The FBI

27:36

is looking into an encounter with

27:38

the UFO that was in flying

27:41

over New Mexico. That flight was American

27:43

Airlines headed to Phoenix from Cincinnati.

27:46

Here is what they said, Abby

27:48

targets up here. We just had stuff to go

27:50

right over the top of us that I hate

27:52

to say, this looked like a long celindrical

27:55

object that almost looked like a cruise muscial

27:57

type of think, moving really fast but ent right

27:59

over the top of the will listen,

28:01

it's time, I mean listen, man. You

28:04

know you know I'm an avid believer

28:06

and extraterrestrial simply because you cannot

28:09

look at this planet Earth and look at all the diversity

28:11

of life on this Earth and think that the universe

28:14

is not as diverse. I mean, you got humans

28:16

here and fish and animals, birds

28:19

in the sky, all types of stuff. You think that the universe

28:21

is not as diverse? Come on, you think we're the

28:23

smartest life forms and all of these

28:25

galaxies? Please? Did you have an incident?

28:27

Also, I've definitely seen the UFO before. So are

28:30

in third grade? Now? You said something somebody abducted

28:32

you. I've been abducted before as well. Right, how

28:34

did you skip over that? But talk about this? I

28:36

mean I've had a bunch of actually

28:39

actually wrote a book called Black Privilege, Opportunity

28:41

Comes to those who creatives, some New yng Times bestseller. I

28:43

you know, detail these experiences

28:46

in death. But they said you

28:48

had two holes in your had two scars on

28:50

both shins. They were in the exact same place,

28:53

they were the exact same length, woke

28:55

up, woke up in them in the morning

28:57

with them there. That was recently though, that was in

29:00

the past five years, five six

29:02

years. Absolutely, But

29:05

you know what, but listen, I see the looks

29:07

on your face. I can't wait to see the looks on your face when

29:09

y'all realized aliens are real. Extra trust is real,

29:11

and they're looking at us like we were aliens the whole time. They're gonna

29:13

look at you and be like, whatever that is on your face isn't

29:15

natural study. You've been studying

29:17

humans for years. That that that

29:20

that black stuff on your face, that doesn't

29:22

come naturally. Shout to Kevin Hart, shout

29:24

the college shot. But you, my

29:27

brothers, you

29:29

want everybody to get a Beijing conspiracy shot.

29:34

Carter, I can't see my brothers. God, what

29:36

are we going? What are we going into next? Gracious?

29:38

Let's him die in peace, my

29:41

brod that when we come back, doctor

29:44

Carr Hart will be joining it. That's a good

29:46

transition. Why from one thing to

29:48

that? Go ahead, that doctor Carl Hard he um.

29:52

I guess he's an avid heroine music. I guess it's a

29:54

good transition because it beat me up, Scottie, you know

29:56

what I mean? He gets hot right

29:58

off heroin. Yeah, okay. The book out

30:00

called drug Use for Growing Ups, Chasing Liberty

30:03

in the Land of Fear, And don't

30:05

just call him a drug user. He's a professor

30:07

of neuroscience, and psychology at

30:09

Columbia University.

30:12

He did an

30:14

aviad drug user. That he's a professor

30:16

at Columbia University. And by the way, he's the first

30:18

line in his book is I'm like he says, like,

30:20

I'm I'm an avid drug user. Yeah, I'm

30:22

an unapologetic drug use. That I don't want

30:24

to just define him as just that though, like he's

30:26

just a regular just you know, he studies

30:28

it. But just the way he said, he's doctor Carhard,

30:31

he's an avid drug user. Coming up next, he's

30:33

he's an aviad drug user. That

30:35

that's what he tells. But I'm saying what

30:38

makes him qualified to write a book is he's also a neuroscientist

30:41

and he's known for his research on drug abuse and

30:43

drug addiction. There we go, however you want

30:45

to say it. He's an avid drug user that teachers at Columbia

30:48

University. We're gonna talk to him next, y'all want

30:50

to put it out there, all right, he's a heroin user. We're

30:52

gonna talk to him. It's a breakfast club corning.

30:55

What the breakfast club? We

30:59

got a special us in the building today.

31:01

Yes, indeed, doctor Carl Hard,

31:03

Columbia University professor. Welcome, sir,

31:06

Thank you for having me. Good morning, sir. Tell them a little

31:08

bit more about yourself. I'm a professor

31:10

at Columbia. I also teach,

31:12

I mean work at the New York State Psychiatric

31:14

Institute, where I'm a research scientist.

31:17

I've been doing that for about twenty five years.

31:20

Before that, I was at Yale, and before

31:22

that, I was at the University of California,

31:25

San Francisco. That we talked about you

31:27

earlier this week because you were all over

31:29

the news, got a book out, and you

31:31

were talking that you you are an admitted heroin

31:33

user. We'll get to the book first. The book, it

31:36

was all over the news and I saw you on that crack

31:38

Um documentary. Yeah,

31:42

I saw him on that crack Like It's great.

31:45

It's great. You should watch it if you guys hadn't seen

31:47

it yet. But the book is called drug Used for Growing Ups,

31:49

Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear. It's

31:51

explaining that title. The real action is in

31:54

the subtitle Chasing

31:56

Liberty in the Land of Fear. I used

31:58

drugs as a topic to explore our

32:01

own liberty. I'm a drug

32:03

expert, so I use drugs and I was trying

32:05

to point out to people that the

32:07

Declaration of Independence, for example, guarantees

32:10

all of us three birthrights, life,

32:12

liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as

32:15

long as you don't mess with anybody else's ability

32:17

to do the same. Now, what that means

32:19

is that you can live your life however

32:22

you choose. And I was using

32:24

drugs as a topic. It's like, why

32:27

should people care what you put in your

32:29

body as long as you are a

32:31

good person. And so in exploring

32:33

this topic this past week, I realized

32:36

that I'm an example of

32:38

how moralistic we are.

32:40

Regardless of what kind of person you are,

32:43

people will attack you if you

32:45

engage in certain behaviors

32:47

that have been deemed evil. Whether

32:50

there was a time when homosexuality

32:52

was the case, there was a time when black people

32:54

were being attacked for just being black. Now,

32:57

drugs, crack, or heroine

33:00

is the evil thing to engage

33:02

in because those things hurt people, including

33:05

the person using them. You know what I mean? A great

33:07

question. So I didn't ask a question, but well,

33:11

I was trying to save you, right, because

33:14

on the one hand, you should

33:16

know that heroin is a medication that is

33:18

approved for treatment. Heroin and

33:21

morphine are essentially the same drug.

33:23

Point is is that heroin is a perfectly

33:25

good pain reliever. It also

33:27

induces euphoria and a

33:30

wide range of effects that we

33:32

desire, like pleasure. So when you say

33:34

that it doesn't harm you, certainly

33:36

it can harm you. If people overdo it

33:38

and they don't know what they're doing, Yeah, they certainly

33:41

can be harmed, just like when you drive

33:43

a car. But is it addictive

33:45

though it is heroin addictive? Is

33:47

heroin addictive? Certainly can be addictive.

33:49

You drink alcohol, not really well,

33:52

people drink alcohol. Alcohol is addictive.

33:54

In my book, I'm trying to help people to understand

33:57

what makes things addictive, not the

33:59

substance itself. Because as

34:01

much as seventy five the people who use

34:04

heroin are not addicted, they don't have any

34:06

problem. When you see this, you say,

34:08

if most of the people who use that drug,

34:10

or any other drug for that matter, are not addicted,

34:13

then you have to look beyond the drug

34:16

itself. And in this book, I'm

34:18

trying to tell people what those

34:20

factors are that increases someone's

34:23

likelihood of becoming addicted. I'm fascinating

34:25

body's conversation. What do you what are your drug the choice?

34:27

What are my drugs of choice? Yeah, so like that

34:29

kind of question. For example, it's like saying, what's

34:32

your favorite sexual position. It's a private thing.

34:34

Well, no, you put it in the book. You said you do heroin. You said

34:36

you do hero No, no no, no, Hello. I put a lot of things in

34:38

the book. I said that I

34:40

have done heroin. For example, like in the

34:43

past week the media, I think it's

34:45

been said I do heroin every day, I inject

34:47

and so forth. As it's just

34:49

untrue. You know, we're in a pandemic.

34:52

How can I get heroin in this pandemic? At

34:54

least I can't, And any heroine I ever use

34:56

was pharmaceutically grade heroin.

34:58

I don't do drugs at are off

35:01

the street. That's stupid. You know, I published

35:05

Brooklyn or the Bronx. United States ain't

35:08

the only country, you know. I

35:10

travel a lot in this book. I travel to

35:12

five different continents, and heroin

35:15

is available on pharmaceutical grade

35:17

in many of these countries in

35:19

which I travel too. So people they

35:22

have this idea of someone who

35:24

uses heroin as some poor soul who

35:26

is injecting the drug and is a slave

35:28

to the drug and they think that

35:30

heroin is the reason for that person's

35:33

problem, because that person definitely exists,

35:35

but that the person's problem is

35:37

not so much heroin as everything

35:40

else, Like the person might have co occurring

35:42

psychiatric illnesses, the person

35:44

might have had some traumatic stuff that's

35:46

happened to their life. Can I ask you

35:48

a question? Absolutely. I always have people say, well,

35:51

I'm chasing that high I got the first time

35:53

that I use it? Is that a real thing? Because I've heard so

35:55

many people say that on documentaries. Yeah,

35:57

I know, because we are willing to accept

36:00

that, right, Um, it's certainly

36:02

true. Like just think of the first time you

36:04

enjoyed an orgasm. It's

36:06

like it was amazing for me

36:08

the first time. It's like, am I chasing the

36:10

first time I had an orgasm? No,

36:13

of course not. But aldough I drink that feeling.

36:15

I like that orgasm can't kill me? It

36:17

what orgasm can't kill me? You certainly

36:20

can't get kill I mean you think about sexual

36:22

even translated the diseases and

36:24

and so forth. Again, the title of the book is

36:26

drug used for grown Ups. I'm trying

36:28

to have a grown up conversation about

36:31

drugs, and that's why. But That's why we're asking

36:33

because you know, we don't know, like for instant, would you consider

36:35

yourself addicted to heroin? Or when

36:38

is the last time you use heroin more

36:40

than a year ago? I don't know, Okay, but

36:43

this is the thing. Your press makes it seem like you use it

36:45

every morning, like you poppy, click

36:47

open the fireplace and get me that. But that's why

36:49

we have you here. I want you to know you

36:51

we're not We're not judging. You were bringing

36:54

you here to have the conversation. Trust

36:56

me. I appreciate it and I know it. What

36:58

is the message you're trying to get across? Drug

37:00

use for grown ups? All right? So you all know

37:02

as At Yams, right, yes? And you

37:05

know he died from what was termed

37:07

a drug overdose, right Yes. When

37:10

that brother died, his mom contacted

37:12

me and she gave me

37:14

his toxicology to report and

37:16

showed me what was in the system.

37:19

And it appears that

37:21

he may have died from a combination

37:24

of opioids and other sedatives.

37:26

Now, for years, I have been writing that

37:29

if you're going to use opioids,

37:31

don't combine it with other sedatives

37:33

like alcohol. People like promethazine,

37:36

don't combine your opioids with those

37:38

drugs because it increases the likelihood

37:41

of respiratory depression. So I

37:43

made a promise to her that

37:45

I would do everything I could to

37:47

educate the public about this.

37:50

And that's one of the main messages from

37:52

the book. And this is the message that the

37:54

New York Post does not say.

37:57

And that's why I am. It upsets

37:59

me so much when I have nothing

38:01

but love and can passion and people who are

38:04

attacking me. Yeah, I'm not gonna to watch. I'm watching

38:06

your body language and I see you shaking. I'm like, okay,

38:08

is he going through withdrawals? He upset about

38:10

a break man? Come on, man,

38:13

you know I'm set clearly.

38:15

Yeah, you know. It's like, first of all,

38:18

I have too much respect for you, too much

38:20

respect for you, and too much respect for you

38:22

not to come here and be correct. All

38:25

right. We have more with doctor Carhart when we come back.

38:27

It's the Breakfast Club. Come on, everybody is DJ

38:29

Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne

38:31

the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We have doctor

38:34

car Hart, were still kicking it with him. Would

38:36

you want your children to indulge it

38:38

in drug use? Because you know growing up, I

38:40

see you from Miami, from a poverty stricken area.

38:42

You've you sold drugs, you use drugs as

38:44

a kid. You're engaged in petty crimes. But you

38:47

know one thing growing up, the first thing your parents say is

38:49

don't use drugs. Would you advise your

38:51

kids to use drugs? And tell your kids about using drugs.

38:53

It's like saying, would you advise your kids to have

38:56

sex? Right? You know, sex

38:58

the correlations because everybody I hope

39:00

has had sex. But I'm

39:02

trying to marry. Well, I'll tell you and the kids are

39:04

getting married, and

39:07

sex it's pleasurable. So when you said, would you

39:09

advise your kids to engage in drugs? And

39:11

all wouldn't advise them. But that's not my concern

39:13

whether they do it or now. My concern

39:16

is keeping them safe. So my

39:18

kids telling them where a condom exactly,

39:22

exactly, the street exactly.

39:25

Because the most dangerous

39:27

thing about drugs to most people who

39:29

are black and brown is not

39:31

the drugs, it's the police. And so

39:33

that's why I would really tell people don't.

39:36

But I was in it sometimes

39:38

to know

39:41

what's in it. But you tell your kids don't use drugs, like I

39:43

tell my kids don't use your don't I'm not going to tell them go

39:45

to the store where you know what's in the drug. I'm just

39:47

saying, don't use it at all. People used to be like that about marijuana

39:50

too, basically that you don't some weird it's terrible. Now

39:52

it's illegal. I'm Can

39:55

we come back to your point please. The

39:57

point you made was if we

40:00

don't know what's in these substances on the

40:02

street, you're absolutely right. So the country

40:04

says we're in an opioid crisis, one

40:07

thing that is true. We certainly have had a

40:09

number of overdoses. And one

40:11

of the main reasons that people are overdosing

40:14

is because they get tainted drug. They

40:17

think that they may have something like heroin or

40:19

oxycodone, when in fact they

40:21

have fentanyl. Fentanyl is a lot

40:23

more potent than heroin or oxycodone.

40:26

That means that a smaller amount of that drug

40:29

is enough and sometimes cases

40:31

to kill you. And we can solve that

40:34

problem, just like they did in places

40:36

like Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands,

40:39

Austria. They have these centers

40:41

where you can submit small amounts

40:43

of your drug and

40:45

you can have a test it and get a chemical

40:48

print out of what's contained in your drug,

40:50

and that way you know, if some contaminant

40:53

that's dangerous is in your drug, don't

40:55

take it. Have you ever tried anything

40:57

else to deal with whatever trauma makes

41:00

this than you? Because so many folks turn to drugs when

41:02

they have pain. Have you tried any other methods?

41:04

Of course? I mean I love

41:07

comedy, you know, I go see shows.

41:09

There are a number of ways that we deal

41:11

with unpleasant things in our

41:14

lives, and I would never tell somebody to turn

41:16

to drugs to deal with trauma or even

41:18

try. Wait wait, wait, I'm

41:22

talking about heroin. I'm talking about crack, I'm

41:24

talking about meth. I'm talking about

41:26

cocaine. I ain't talking about Iowa scar

41:29

trooms and need and stuff like. First

41:31

of all, to be clear, I am not

41:33

telling anybody to do drugs.

41:36

I don't have to. People will seek out drugs.

41:38

My job is to try and help people do

41:41

this activity as safely as possible

41:43

if you're going to do it. So there's

41:45

notion that I'm somehow promoting drugs.

41:48

The first sentence in my author's

41:50

note is that this book is not promoting

41:52

drugs. That's not what I do. I do know

41:54

when people say you have an addictive personality,

41:56

is that a real thing? Because they feel like, you

41:58

know, you said a certain percentage of people will

42:01

have issues with addiction and some people

42:04

won't, But how do you know? Yeah, so

42:06

this notion of an addictive personality is

42:08

myth. Now, it is true that

42:11

some people will be more likely to

42:13

become addicted than other

42:15

people, and some of those things I try to

42:17

lay out earlier. If you have co

42:20

occurring psychiatric illnesses and

42:22

your parents, if your parents are addicts, is that No,

42:25

there's no real evidence that says

42:27

like your genetics will determine whether

42:29

you become addicted, Although that's a popular

42:32

sort of saying and in science we are

42:34

still investigating it, but the evidence

42:36

is very weak. But also consider

42:39

this. Just think about people who have unrealistic

42:42

expectations placed on them because

42:44

they are supporting their families, their friends,

42:46

they're supporting all of these people, and

42:49

they have to perform night in,

42:51

night out, and they have to do all of these kinds

42:53

of things. Those sort of unrealistic expectations

42:56

placed on them also increases the

42:59

likelihood that these people too will

43:01

become addicted. So that's why you tell them go to

43:03

therapy, tell them take up meditation, tell

43:05

them go do yoga. I'm not gonna tell them running

43:07

do heroin. Well, I guess for me, man, it's I've

43:09

seen so many bad examples of

43:12

heroin users. You know what I mean, crackheads.

43:14

I've never seen any functioning

43:16

heroin users are functioning crack addicts.

43:18

And what are you looking at once? You know? I mean

43:21

I good effects of heroin? Like you always

43:24

hear the bad effects of her when you hear liver

43:27

and kinney disease, you see deteriorating

43:29

the brain cells. You hear all these things, like, what's the good

43:31

effects of her? Like, what's what's something

43:33

good about it? Okay, So in twenty

43:36

fifteen, I went to Switzerland and I worked

43:38

in a heroin clinic where people

43:41

who are actually a heroin addicted.

43:43

They received heroin twice a day every

43:46

day. Most of those people are employed,

43:48

all of them have housing. Most of them

43:50

are happy their health improved because

43:52

they don't know they no longer have to be out on the street

43:55

looking for heroin, and they have

43:58

no interest in stopping using their hero

44:00

and they are productive members of their society.

44:02

That's all good. That's what we want from

44:04

people, right, But what about it on the body though, you

44:07

know, Yeah, if I don't drink this water, I'm

44:09

not gonna go. You know, some of my mother's vc

44:11

are to make money to get the water. Yeah, I win

44:13

it. If it's addictive, I'm doing whatever

44:15

it takes because I need that hit. Yeah.

44:18

So, like that story that you're telling is like

44:20

an extreme anecdote. Certainly you

44:22

can find that person. But that's

44:24

something up. No,

44:27

no, hold not. I'm from the hood. I started studying

44:29

drugs because of the whole crack era.

44:32

You know, I believe crack was destroying

44:34

my community, just like everybody else, the whole

44:37

New Jack City thing. You know, I believed all

44:39

that sort of thing. But the problem

44:41

is it's that I misattributed what was

44:43

going on with those people. I thought it was

44:45

the drug, when in fact it was all these

44:47

other things like that.

44:50

Right on. So this is true. People

44:53

are do experience problems,

44:55

but don't get it twisted. When most

44:58

of the people who are using heroin something

45:00

like heroin, they're not gonna tell you

45:03

because of all of this negative judgment.

45:05

Of course, the ones who are functioning well, they're

45:08

not gonna say so the only ones that you see

45:10

are the ones who are contrite

45:13

and they are repentant because they want your

45:15

help and they know that's the only

45:18

story that you will accept. And so

45:20

what I'm trying to do in the book is to show

45:22

people that that story is

45:25

actually killing people, because

45:27

people are less likely to seek help

45:30

when they need it, and we are less likely

45:32

to implement the programs that

45:34

we need to help people. I'm glad you said

45:36

that because I agree with you when you say drugs

45:39

should be legal. Whenever I see people

45:41

get locked up for you know, possession of crack

45:44

or possession of heroin cocama, like, don't send them

45:46

to jail, send them to rehab, provide

45:48

them with opportunities, give them treatments.

45:50

That's what I thought your stance was. Yeah, yeah,

45:53

because that's easy. That's easy. I mean, that's

45:55

what it. Gonnas was right. Well, I'm

45:57

arguing that we should regulate all these drugs.

46:00

That way, we'll have quality control, we'll

46:02

have better education, all of that. But if

46:05

you argue that that respective, you

46:07

have to understand that we have exaggerated

46:10

the harmful effects of drugs. And in this

46:13

book, I'm showing people how that's a tough

46:15

that's a tough line to say, doctor Carr, that we've

46:17

exaggerated the harmful effects of drugs.

46:20

Have you seen what happens the crack addicted

46:23

people, herold addicted people, What happens to their families,

46:25

what happens to the communities that

46:27

exist with individuals like that? Like,

46:29

that's kind of hard to say we're exaggerating. We

46:32

tell everybody that bullet story

46:34

about crack, and that story is

46:37

imprisoning us. It prevents

46:39

us from looking at deeper what was

46:41

going on. Oh,

46:44

crack destroyed the community, and that's hold

46:47

on, let me explain highest rates

46:49

of unemployment. For example, we're

46:51

in nineteen eighty two. Crack didn't

46:53

appear until late nineteen eighty

46:56

five in most places in the country. Murder,

46:58

we talk about murder rates. We had a peak spike

47:01

in murder in nineteen eighty again

47:03

cracked in the period of nineteen eighty five, and then

47:05

we had another spike in ninety one.

47:08

And sure it might have had something to

47:10

do with the crack sort of markets being

47:12

developed, but not the pharmacological

47:15

effects of the drug. Like we tell

47:17

people, that's that's what I'm saying. I'm saying that

47:19

we just need to reevaluate. But

47:22

it's developed. The story is developed

47:24

more in the books, so I really encourage

47:26

people to read the book. They don't move.

47:28

We got more with Doctor Carhart. When we come back. It's

47:31

the Breakfast Club coming morning. Everybody

47:33

is DJ Envy, Angela

47:35

Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club

47:37

was still kicking it with Doctor carl Hart. You

47:40

talk about you haven't used heroin in over a year and

47:42

a half. Yes, Um, of course,

47:44

the news made it seem like you use it every day. So

47:46

what gets you to the point where you have to use heroin

47:49

like it? Is it socially? Is it something

47:51

going on in your life? Is it just hanging out with the boys

47:53

or you made it sound like smoking a cigarete let. You

47:56

said better

47:58

than doing the line is what they do. You've

48:00

also talked about the withdrawal that you have to go through

48:03

from that too, which is not easy. Right, So I'll

48:06

answer this question. So one

48:08

of the things that happens with heroin as

48:10

well as some other drugs. Think of antidepressants

48:12

in the same way. If you take heroin

48:15

consecutively for weeks or months,

48:18

and then you abruptly discontinue. Your

48:20

body has grown accustomed to the drug being

48:22

in it, and so as a result, when

48:24

you abruptly discontinue it, you get

48:26

withdrawal effects, and these withdrawal

48:29

effects can be unpleasant. With alcohol.

48:31

However, when you do this with alcohol, you

48:34

might die. But whereas with heroin, you

48:36

can't really die from heroin withdrawal,

48:39

but with alcohol withdrawal you can die.

48:41

So what got you to the point where you have to use heroin if you don't

48:43

use it every day? Like? What is that? Is it just socially

48:47

recollection? So I study

48:49

drugs, right, and so I want

48:51

to know everything about

48:53

every aspect of what I study. So you

48:55

used every drug before us to study? Damn

48:58

near everyone? Have you? Certainly

49:01

everyone that you probably have heard of? That heroin?

49:04

Well, you know, I don't. I don't

49:06

particularly like smoking drugs. You know, I

49:09

work out every day, so I like to make

49:11

sure my lungs are good, and so I don't

49:13

inject. No, I never inject. I

49:15

mean, I'm back, I'm vain too. I don't want

49:17

people looking at me. You don't smoke and you don't inject

49:20

house Oh you take it orally? Still?

49:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So, um, I

49:26

wanted to know about every aspect

49:28

of what I do, and part

49:31

of that is to actually know something about

49:33

the effects. Like if I would have just

49:35

kind of believed the narrative, I would believe

49:37

that heroin wasn't the most addictive thing

49:40

that one could do, and one hit or two

49:42

hits you're addicted. Just it's just simply

49:44

not true. But if you getting to the point where you have you're

49:46

going through withdrawals, you've probably done too much. You're

49:49

probably abusing it. So somebody who has been

49:51

on an antidepressant and then they abruptly

49:53

discontinue and now they

49:55

have withdrawal, we're saying what you were doing about

49:58

taking that you can abuse with antidepress as

50:00

well. That's that's approve of fact. But you've been taking

50:02

it to feel better, and then you can

50:04

still abuse it. Certainly

50:08

you can abuse it. But you're saying it's wrong.

50:11

I mean this, this is not inherently

50:13

wrong. These are just inert substances.

50:16

We as humans place all this morality

50:19

and judgment on this, and that's

50:21

part of the problem. And my fear is like somebody

50:23

hearing this or reading your book and

50:25

think it's okay, well, it's okay. The doctor said it's

50:28

okay to use drugs every once in a while. He said,

50:30

it's not as it's not bad for me to use drugs.

50:32

It's just as bad as as having you

50:34

know, I can die the same way from having an orgasm.

50:37

That's my fear. When kids hear that, people

50:39

hear that. Wait, did I say what you just

50:41

said? That's what I felt like. I

50:44

didn't say, Well, I just want to know what your

50:46

message is. Just clear and Plaine, what are

50:49

you trying to get across in drug used

50:51

for growing up? I'm trying to tell people,

50:53

for example, people who are using opioids.

50:56

I'm trying to say, the risk is

50:58

really increased when you use street

51:00

drugs and not you don't know

51:03

what's in it. See if you

51:05

can get attested. It's important

51:07

to know what's in your substance. Uh and so.

51:09

And I'm saying to government officials, if you really

51:12

cared about your population, you

51:14

would have these drug checking facilities

51:16

where people can submit small samples of

51:19

their drugs and have them tested

51:21

for purity, and then we will know if it

51:23

contains any contaminants. I don't

51:25

think I disagree with any of that, but I want to know why

51:27

not just spend the money and resources on helping

51:29

people get clean and providing better

51:31

opportunities for people and people are dealing with

51:34

some type of real trauma, you know, giving

51:36

them other methods instead of drug use,

51:38

because out of ten when people are on drugs, it's not

51:40

for recreation. They're doing it because they're gonna

51:42

do some type of trauma. And what he said, you can't go to CVS

51:44

to go buy your hero and you can't say, okay, you know, let

51:46

me go get a you know, some multious fruit snacks and let me get

51:48

the side of heroin. You can't buy it. So you're telling people

51:50

to test it. They're getting it from dealers because you can't

51:52

buy right, that's right. So if you're going to get

51:55

it from dealers and so forth, make

51:57

sure you can find some way to get attested.

51:59

At what point do you know you have a problem? At what point

52:01

do you know? Yeah? Like, how many times? There's

52:03

too many times? Don't thank you man, because we haven't

52:05

talked about that. We just talked about the term addiction.

52:07

So that's a great point. So when when I'm when

52:10

I'm talking about the term addiction, I'm really talking

52:12

about the American Psychiatric Association

52:15

sort of definition, and that is

52:18

when people have psychosocial disruptions

52:20

and they're functioning. That is, they are failing

52:23

to meet these major obligations,

52:25

like they don't come to work, they

52:27

don't go to school, they're not engaging

52:30

in family sort of functions

52:32

or events that are important. They're

52:34

failing all of these sort of obligations.

52:37

And the person themselves are

52:40

disturbed about not

52:42

meeting these obligations because if

52:46

you miss work or you're missing appointments because

52:48

you're at home watching porn. They said, that's

52:50

the level too, when you know you're addicted dull.

52:52

Yeah, yeah, I'm comparing a lot of stuff to

52:55

heroin and crack. That is really some false equipment.

52:57

Yeah, I agree, till

53:00

me. Why man, because I think because I could do heroin

53:02

once today for the first time, I

53:05

could do something today right and literally blow off

53:07

my family for the day that one time

53:09

I blew off my family's appointments, Does that mean I'm irresponsible

53:11

to that? I mean I have a problem. No, No, I mean you

53:14

are so successful, all of you, all the

53:16

likelihood of that happening, I'll

53:19

actually stake my life on what if it does

53:21

no old man. I'm just saying, the likelihood

53:23

of that happening is so low. I

53:25

mean, you you you're abscribing these

53:28

magical properties to heroin that

53:30

just don't do it once and die. Well

53:33

if you do that, because that's certainly a possibility,

53:35

right, that's certainly especially because you don't know what's in it and

53:37

there's no way to tell, right, and you don't know what you're

53:39

doing. And I don't think you will do that because

53:42

you have demonstrated all of this

53:44

responsibility in your life. What about

53:46

you said you've been using heroin for the past

53:48

five years is what I read. Yeah, so when did you

53:51

first start? Like when didst did you first ever take

53:53

or hit a heroin? And why? It might have been

53:56

now maybe two two thousand and fifteen.

53:59

Like I said, I wanted to know every aspect

54:01

about what I do, and it

54:04

was pharmaceutical grade, not

54:06

in this country, in a country where

54:09

drugs are decriminalized. You did e strictly

54:11

for research purposes. Yeah, Yeah, because

54:13

I wanted to know to make you feel when you when you first took

54:15

there first hit, it was nice and

54:17

euphoric, chilled, anxiety

54:20

melts away, scared you wasn't nervous. You

54:22

didn't think I might die. So I know what I'm

54:25

doing one and I know it's pure,

54:27

and I know not to take a large dose oftentimes,

54:30

like like right now, we are all encouraged

54:33

to get the COVID vaccine, and we all

54:36

will. But you know, the people who are

54:38

getting the vaccine know a

54:41

lot less about that than I

54:43

know about heroin. So you know, so

54:46

it's it's more risky for me

54:48

to take the vaccine than it

54:51

is for me to take heroin. That I know

54:53

the purity and I know the dose, that's

54:55

not a risky proposition for me. The

54:58

average person doesn't have that knowledge. You

55:00

can do these things safely because you've studied it for

55:02

thirty years. You know it's pierre, you know where you're getting

55:04

it from. You know how much to take. The average person's

55:07

coming but you're coming from a place. You're coming from a place

55:09

of privilege, because there's plenty of people in point disenfranchise

55:12

areas who are going to who can do heroin

55:14

or any of these drugs, and they will get addicted.

55:16

They're not doing it for rest. They don't have the luxury of doing it

55:18

for research purposes. They're truly trying to escape

55:20

something. See that. That's why I wrote the book. I

55:22

wrote the book to try to help keep those

55:25

people safe who will do

55:27

this anyway. Have you ever had a bad experience

55:30

when you took anything, tried something? I'm

55:32

sure, Well I'll tell you. Yeah.

55:35

Yeah. So there was a time when I wanted

55:37

to know what opioid withdrawal was

55:39

like. So I talked some opioids

55:41

for consecutive weeks and abruptly

55:44

discontinued and I

55:47

had withdrawal. I planned it like so

55:49

it would happen the night before

55:52

a big talk, so I could say that,

55:54

you know, this is no big deal, so you're able

55:56

to quit cold turkey? Oh yeah, yeah I did.

55:59

That's not everybody story either, though. You know

56:01

there are people who use a lot more

56:04

than I did in this little experiment,

56:06

and they would have a lot more difficult time.

56:08

You're absolutely right, the withdrawal would

56:10

have been a lot worse. But I

56:13

wasn't trying to have the worst withdrawal

56:15

I could have. All I wanted to do was experience

56:18

it, and so I could see what it was

56:20

like for myself. That's experience. The

56:22

worst of that experience was the adapt

56:25

abdominal pain. It felt like it

56:27

was stabbing that radiated throughout

56:30

my body, and I have no interest in

56:32

going through opioid withdrawal again. Do

56:34

you enjoy drugs, doctor Carhart? Do you enjoy

56:37

drugs? Some drugs? I do? You

56:39

know? That's otherwise,

56:42

why would I engage in an activity that I

56:44

don't enjoy. Well, let's bring this home. I

56:47

agree on the fact that drugs should be legal.

56:49

I don't think people should be going to jail when they have

56:51

an actual problem, you know, I agree

56:54

with that. But as far as like just encouraging

56:56

people to do it recreationally just because they're

56:59

gonna do it anyway, I'd rather personally get

57:01

them some treatment. Personally, I rather think he was

57:03

saying that if people who are using it to be responsible

57:05

not but he does. I would rather get those

57:07

people from treatment as opposed to encouraging them

57:10

to just, you know, creating space. Man,

57:14

you ain't gonna get an argument for me when you're talking

57:16

about treatment. Man, I mean, I'm with you, but

57:19

that ain't what I'm saying. I'm not saying,

57:21

yo, you should go out and do this. I'm not saying

57:23

that I'm I'm I'm saying that

57:26

there are people doing this and how

57:29

can I, as a responsible professional,

57:32

help enhance the safe Absolutely, and

57:34

I would, I would, And I'm saying I would rather get those same

57:36

people some help. I'd rather get

57:38

them clean well, provide them opportunity

57:41

as opposed to providing a safe space for them to continue

57:43

to do drink well. You know, I have tried that too,

57:45

and I mean with relatives and friends,

57:48

and they basically said, like it's out

57:50

to hear you, pedantic ass, you

57:52

know, and so uh now I can't.

57:56

They don't even talk to me. So there's no way I can

57:58

even help because you know, they're as

58:00

adults, people will do what they're going to

58:02

do. And so I've learned

58:04

as a parent, you know, my number

58:07

one goal is to get my kids home

58:09

right, and so they will do their

58:12

thing, and I have to figure out how

58:15

to help them do their thing as safely

58:18

as possible and how to make

58:20

sure they are good people or

58:22

Doctor car Hart, we appreciate you for joining us this morning,

58:24

telling the title of your book on More Time Please Drug

58:26

Used for grown Ups, Chasing Liberty and the Land

58:29

of Fear. It was a great conversation. Thank you for

58:31

having me I really appreciate it. I have

58:33

no problem exchanging I did. Even

58:35

if we don't agree on everything, I really appreciate

58:38

it. How you don't know how much it mean. But don't

58:40

you overdose because I switch to God. If you overdose,

58:42

I don't gonna give you the greatest donkey the day I have ever

58:45

written in my life. Okay,

58:49

yo, that's a bat. All right, well, thank you doctor

58:52

Carhart for joining us. Now let's get to the roumas.

58:54

Let's talk Bobby's murder the Breakfast

58:56

Club. Your mornings will never be the

58:58

same. Listen.

59:04

Oh goshorts,

59:09

it's reports club. Oh

59:14

my god, what nothing? No next,

59:16

next hour, we're taking calls about doctor Carhart's

59:19

interview. By the way, Yeah, so you can get on the phone lines

59:21

right now eight hundred five, eight five, one oh five

59:23

on just your thoughts to the doctor. All right

59:25

now, Bobby Schmurder did his first interview

59:27

since getting out of prison, and he talked to GQ

59:30

about what he learned while he was in jail and what he's

59:32

going to be doing next. And he

59:35

does, by the way, him and Rowdy Rebels still maintain

59:37

their innocence on the conspiracy charge. In particular,

59:40

saying that they were trying to link them to crimes they would

59:42

otherwise have no connection with. They argue that if

59:44

they were granted bail and allowed to fight the case from the

59:46

outside, they would have won a trial. Now,

59:49

Bobby Shmurder said his spirit is always going

59:51

to be up. He said, I used to sleep next to people

59:53

who had forty to life, people who have been in there for thirty

59:55

years and haven't laughed. I'd have them crying all

59:57

day. When you got good energy, no matter where

1:00:00

you at, you can bring a smile to someone's face. And

1:00:02

he also said, I'm not saying jail is not going to break

1:00:04

anybody, but usually jail I don't

1:00:06

really care about. Even though I'm locked up all the time, I still

1:00:09

lived good in jail since I was twelve. He

1:00:11

said he knows how to survive. You get the best treatment

1:00:13

in jail when you get a job. When a shower five

1:00:15

times a week, and said at three, get a job, eat better,

1:00:17

get a job, more phone time, get a job. But

1:00:20

he said they kept firing him when they realized he

1:00:22

was just doing it to stay on the phone. He also

1:00:24

talks about his lowest time and the moment

1:00:26

that broke him. He said, it wasn't a

1:00:29

fight, or it wasn't solitary. It

1:00:31

was a fan letter. He said. It was twenty sixteen.

1:00:34

I was in the box. A six year old girl

1:00:36

wrote to me. She said I was her favorite rapper. That

1:00:38

just let me know the kids are watching me and I have

1:00:41

to be a role model. Suddenly being familiar

1:00:43

enough with jail to rise above it didn't mean so much.

1:00:47

So he does take his career seriously,

1:00:49

he said, he didn't take it that seriously before until

1:00:52

he went to jail, he said, and saw how the fans were loyal.

1:00:54

He said, I can't name a week that I didn't see

1:00:56

at least ten pieces of fan mail throughout the whole

1:00:58

bid. So before

1:01:01

he went to jail, he said, he just was doing this money

1:01:03

and bitches. He said, I ain't gonna lie to you. I was nineteen

1:01:05

turning twenty, coming out of East

1:01:07

Flappish the nineties, one of the worst neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

1:01:10

You got a moment to sit down and be still, and

1:01:13

I think Ji about to save this life

1:01:15

exactly. Jail time saved his life, and I think he's

1:01:17

gonna be come out a better human because of

1:01:19

it. I think so too. And as you know, Quavo

1:01:22

was there when he got out to pick him up, and

1:01:25

you know, they talked about how they had instant

1:01:27

magic when they all first met. He said, whenever

1:01:29

the Megos came to New York City in twenty fourteen,

1:01:31

they made sure to link up a Bobby, like the night at Powerhouse

1:01:34

when Quavo said he met jay Z for the first time

1:01:36

backstage with Rowdy, so they

1:01:39

all linked up. And I actually remember that. I

1:01:41

remember that because I had to go into

1:01:43

Megos dressing room to interview them for

1:01:46

something for MTV and MTV two, and

1:01:48

then Bobby Him came in there. All

1:01:51

right, now, let's talk about the Coming to

1:01:53

Americas sequel. Are y'all ready for this?

1:01:56

You guys saw it already, right, yeah, March fifth

1:01:58

on Amazon Prime. It's coming out. So they've been doing

1:02:00

their interviews now. Our sin of

1:02:02

Yohall and Eddie Murphy said they had a pack to never

1:02:04

making Coming to America's sequel, but

1:02:07

they did end up doing it. Here's what they had to say. It

1:02:09

took thirty years because we never

1:02:12

planned on doing it. We shook and

1:02:14

said, let's never do a sequel. But

1:02:16

the movie kept following us, so every

1:02:19

time I would show him something, and then one

1:02:21

time when he finally decided we

1:02:23

should do it, he came up with the idea and I

1:02:26

loved the idea, but the only thing I hated

1:02:28

was he wanted Tracy Morgan to

1:02:31

play his son. And I think Eddie

1:02:33

and Tracy look about the same age. But

1:02:35

he Murphy. He's Eddie Murphy. So you have

1:02:37

to you have to say it easy, because I did it in joke

1:02:39

for him. I said, hey, maybe the third one, Morgan

1:02:42

Freeman can be your son. That

1:02:44

didn't sound right. That

1:02:47

wouldn't have been it all right now. Ryan

1:02:49

Kogler also had pitched Eddie Murphy Coming

1:02:51

to America's sequel with Michael B. Jordan and it

1:02:53

and they talked about this with The New York Times and

1:02:56

he said before he directed Black Panther,

1:02:59

I met with him and he says, I want to do a Coming to America's

1:03:01

sequel. That's what Eddie Murphy said. He said he had

1:03:03

an idea from Michael B. Jordan to play my son and he would

1:03:05

be looking for a wife. I was like, then the movie would be about

1:03:08

the son. It's not our characters. We already did

1:03:10

that. It didn't come together. Yeah, I don't understand

1:03:12

Eddie's reasoning for telling people that he

1:03:14

didn't like Ryan Coogler's idea. I mean, Ryan

1:03:16

Coogler is one of the most brilliant producers out here. And it

1:03:18

actually wasn't just Ryan Coogler. It was Ryan Coogler

1:03:21

and Aaron McGruder. You know Aaron McGruder,

1:03:23

that that that wrote The Boondogs Black Jesus.

1:03:26

So I don't understand what was his reasoning. What you

1:03:28

think about the movie? What you mean,

1:03:30

Well, I listen, we got all send you on the show next week

1:03:33

and I'll talk about the movie after

1:03:35

the movie come back, all right,

1:03:38

I haven't seen it. Everybody to make

1:03:40

that one decision. It's a lot of surprises, but

1:03:42

I am gonna wat And that is your Room of Reporter made

1:03:44

me feel good. I thought ill coming to America

1:03:47

made me feel good. Cash your rumor report

1:03:49

all right now, Shore giving that donk donkey

1:03:52

of the day, it's going to Representative

1:03:55

Marcus Evans Junior. We need

1:03:57

him to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word

1:03:59

with him. He wants to help

1:04:02

carjackings in Chicago go down.

1:04:04

Okay. I just don't like the way he's he's

1:04:06

going about trying to do it. But we'll talk about it all right.

1:04:08

And after the Donkey, of course, we'll take your calls. Eight hundred

1:04:11

five eight five, one oh five, we're gonna be talking about

1:04:13

doctor Carhart, who just tuned

1:04:15

int, who just joined us, and we're talking about drug

1:04:17

use. So we'll talk to him next night. It's the breakfast local Botter's

1:04:24

time for Donkey other Day. I'm

1:04:27

a Democrat, so being Dunkey of the day is a

1:04:30

little bit of a mixed up. So like a dog the

1:04:33

other day. Now,

1:04:38

I've been called a lot in my twenty three years, like

1:04:40

Donkey other day is a new wife. Yesh

1:04:43

Donkey today for Friday, February twenty

1:04:45

six. Goals of the Representative Marcus Evans

1:04:47

Junior, a Democrat, who was

1:04:50

introduced to bill that would amend the pre existing

1:04:52

law banning certain video games from being

1:04:54

sold to minors. Now, I'm not a video game

1:04:57

fanatic at all, so I couldn't tell you why

1:04:59

certain video games shouldn't be sold

1:05:01

to minors. I do remember about

1:05:03

a decade ago when the Supreme Court was debating if

1:05:06

violent video games should be sold to minors

1:05:08

or not. And Representative Marcus Evans junior

1:05:10

amendment is in that lane because

1:05:13

he would ban the sale of games with

1:05:15

subject matter including motor vehicle

1:05:17

theft with a driver or passenger.

1:05:19

President. Basically, he wants to get

1:05:21

Grand Theft Auto to f out of here. Why because

1:05:24

carjackings among young people have gone up in Chicago

1:05:26

recently. Let's go to KTLAC W five

1:05:28

for the report. Please Illinois State Representative

1:05:30

Marcus Evans Junior, who introduced a bill

1:05:33

which would ban the sale of popular video

1:05:35

game Grand Theft Auto, amongst others, in

1:05:37

response to a rise in carjackings

1:05:40

in Chicago. People in government

1:05:42

or parent groups are kind of looking for

1:05:44

what I would say is a scapegoat to not

1:05:46

deal with the real underlying

1:05:49

issues of socio economic

1:05:51

inequalities or mental

1:05:54

health issues. I agree, I agree

1:05:56

with whoever that woman was talking. Just now, let

1:05:59

me tell lawmakers in Cargo something. Can

1:06:01

kids be influenced by things? Absolutely? Music,

1:06:03

video games, movies, other people? Of course,

1:06:05

Do I think Grand Theft Auto is the reason

1:06:08

carjackings of going up in Chicago? Hell

1:06:10

No, I don't. Okay, It's like damn

1:06:12

lawmakers read the room. The reason crime is

1:06:14

going up across the country, not just in Chicago.

1:06:17

It is because the poor and disenfranchise communities

1:06:19

which were already hurting, which already lacked

1:06:21

resources, which alread lacked opportunities. Those communities

1:06:24

or even in worse shape now. So I'm looking at all these

1:06:26

news stories about the Illinois lawmakers seeking

1:06:29

the banned Grand Theft Auto due to a rising carjacking

1:06:32

carjackings, and it makes me shake my head and realize

1:06:34

just how much folks don't get it. See, we really

1:06:37

live in an era where people want symbolic change

1:06:40

instead of real systemic change. Okay, Grand

1:06:42

Theft Auto gets banned, then what tell

1:06:45

me how is that going to empower and

1:06:47

heal people? How is that going to provide opportunities

1:06:50

to thrive? The violence anywhere it

1:06:53

is not going down if you don't provide access

1:06:55

to jobs in housing, that's what people

1:06:57

need, stable housing and amenities and commerce

1:07:00

opportunities. Those are the investments that need

1:07:02

to be made. You have to revitalize

1:07:04

neighborhood economies. Okay, markets, I'm not

1:07:07

telling you anything. You don't know. You know that, Okay,

1:07:09

you should be advocating for equity focused

1:07:11

legislation and policy. That's what people need,

1:07:14

not bands of grand theft auto. Come

1:07:16

on, Marcus, the wages are too

1:07:18

low, right, There's a lack of quality healthcare,

1:07:20

some standard housing, all right for kids who

1:07:22

want to pursue higher education, they aren't able

1:07:24

to because college tuition too damn high and rising.

1:07:27

Those are the problems that most Americans facing.

1:07:30

You know, black communities face them

1:07:32

even more. Okay, f banning grand theft auto, raising

1:07:34

minimum which the fifteen thousand an hour, all

1:07:36

right, make college affordable for anyone who wants to attend.

1:07:39

I require local government to provide healthcare and adequate

1:07:41

housing for everybody, okay. Instead of banning grand

1:07:43

theft auto, as the great Alicia Guards

1:07:45

of Black Futures Lab says, if candidates

1:07:48

lawmakers address the needs and

1:07:50

concerns of black communities that were resulting

1:07:52

dividends for all Americans. Markets

1:07:54

if you address the real needs and concerns

1:07:57

of the black communities in Chicago and the communities

1:07:59

in Chicago that you need it, it will result in dividends

1:08:02

for all of Illinois. Okay. I want

1:08:04

this idea of banning grand theft auto

1:08:07

to die. And

1:08:14

instead of a cheat code for unlimited guns

1:08:17

lawm because in Chicago, she create a cheat code

1:08:19

for unlimited funds to be invested

1:08:21

in the communities that need them. That's

1:08:24

how you slow down Carl Jackings and every

1:08:26

other violent crime, not only in Chicago but

1:08:28

across the country. Please uh,

1:08:31

let Representative Marcus Evans Junior get the sweet

1:08:33

times in the hammertones. Oh now you are

1:08:36

the doge the

1:08:39

day, the

1:08:43

dogee, oh

1:08:46

the day. Ye all

1:08:50

right, thank you for that today?

1:08:52

Can some I want one of y'all to do your uncle Shaulttle

1:08:55

favor. Can you send me up from church fans. I

1:08:57

want the old school church fans that

1:09:00

I might used to use when she used to be in the pew

1:09:02

fan in herself, because around ate something every

1:09:04

morning in this room for the past couple of months.

1:09:06

That hot. Oh

1:09:10

all right, well, thank you for that donky. Today, when we come

1:09:12

back, let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five

1:09:15

eight five one oh five one. We're talking doctor

1:09:17

Karl Hart. Now he was on earlier. A

1:09:20

lot of people have different things to say about

1:09:22

his opinion on drug use and what he had

1:09:24

to say about drug use. People they

1:09:26

have this idea of someone who

1:09:29

uses heroin and some poor soul who

1:09:31

is injecting the drug and it's a slave

1:09:33

to the drug, and they think that heroin is

1:09:35

the reason for that person's problem. The person's

1:09:38

problem is not so much heroin as

1:09:40

everything else, like the person might have

1:09:43

co occurring psychiatric illnesses. I always

1:09:45

say, people say, well, I'm chasing that high I

1:09:47

got the first time that I use it

1:09:49

is real, It's certainly true. Like

1:09:51

just think of the first time you enjoyed and

1:09:54

the orgasm. It's like it was amazing

1:09:57

for me the first time. It's like, am I chasing

1:09:59

the first time I had an orgasm? No,

1:10:01

of course not, but old door, I don't that feeling.

1:10:04

I like that orgasm can't kill me. The

1:10:07

orgasm can't kill me. You certainly can't get kill all

1:10:09

right, Well, let's open up the phone lines and eight hundred

1:10:11

five A five one oh five one day,

1:10:16

we're opening up the phone lines. Let's talk about

1:10:18

it. We'll take your calls when we come back. It's the breakfast Club.

1:10:20

Go morning, the breakfast Club. It's

1:10:25

topic time. Thus

1:10:29

the phone called

1:10:31

eight hundred five A five one oh five one to join

1:10:34

it to the discussion with the breakfast club. Talk

1:10:36

about it morning. Everybody is DJ

1:10:39

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the

1:10:41

guy. We are the breakfast clubs, So we're just opening

1:10:43

up the phone lines talking about the doctor that called earlier

1:10:46

talking about drug use. What do you

1:10:48

guys think? Star? What you ye? I

1:10:50

mean? I understand, And he was stressing that he was

1:10:52

not telling people to use drugs. He was saying, for

1:10:54

people that do use drugs, they're gonna do it anyway,

1:10:56

just like a lot of people do things you know you shouldn't

1:10:58

do, but it does still have appens. So how do you make

1:11:00

it safer for people to do it? They didn't make me

1:11:02

want to try drugs or want to use heroin

1:11:05

or anything like that, but I understand that a

1:11:07

lot of times people are mixing different cocktails

1:11:09

together of different drugs, and people are also

1:11:11

not knowing what they're taking because they're buying it off

1:11:13

the street, so it just makes it more dangerous.

1:11:16

It didn't sound like it to me. I mean, him saying that

1:11:18

he used drugs and he wasn't addicted makes

1:11:21

it kind of seem like it's okay in

1:11:23

what he said. I'm from a different

1:11:25

school. I know there's some parents out there that be like, hey, my

1:11:27

kids are gonna drink anywhere I rather than drinking the house.

1:11:29

I'm not that parent. My parents weren't that parents.

1:11:31

My parents were. No, you're not drinking, and you're not drinking

1:11:34

in my house. And if I catch you drinking, I'm gonna bust

1:11:36

your ass. That's the way I am. You're not drinking

1:11:38

in my house. Some parents allowed at Hey, if you're gonna

1:11:40

drink your muthers, drink anywhere, my parents will let me drink with

1:11:42

them. See that's your parents, not mine. Now

1:11:45

that's how I feel. My thing is no, drug

1:11:48

use is not good at all. I don't want to

1:11:50

promote it. I don't want to talk about it. I tried it, or use

1:11:52

it. Or you can be in a walking

1:11:55

heroin fiend. No, that doesn't work, that doesn't

1:11:57

that doesn't sound good to me. Don't use drugs. I don't

1:11:59

want my kids they're drugs. It's bad. I

1:12:01

don't want you to try it, even

1:12:04

weed. Kids.

1:12:07

Don't want them using any drugs. We're talking about heroin,

1:12:10

man, you know what I'm saying. And here's

1:12:12

the thing with doctor Carhart. I feel

1:12:14

that all drugs should be decriminalized.

1:12:16

I don't want to see people going to jail for addiction.

1:12:18

If you have a problem with heroin, if you have an

1:12:21

addiction problem with crack, addiction problem with meth.

1:12:23

I don't think you should go to jail for that. You should,

1:12:25

you know, get help. And I don't think we should

1:12:28

create safe spaces to do drugs.

1:12:30

I think we should invest resources and the people going

1:12:32

to rehab, people seeking treatment, and

1:12:34

provide opportunities for them. You know, I'm a big advocate

1:12:36

for mental health and mindfulness, and there's a lot of other ways

1:12:39

to deal with your trauma other than telling

1:12:41

people to turn the drugs. But let's go to the phone

1:12:43

lines. Hello, who's this Hi? This

1:12:45

is Dana from for News Heza

1:12:48

from the seven five seven? What were your thoughts? Um?

1:12:51

I think that what he's saying is very irresponsible,

1:12:54

um, because everybody doesn't

1:12:57

have the luxury of getting their drugs

1:12:59

from eating. What is he expecting

1:13:01

people to go out here and buy heroin and take it

1:13:03

to the police station and be like, hey, can you touch my trugs?

1:13:07

It's illegal? You know,

1:13:10

So there is no safe way to do heroin

1:13:13

here in America. And if

1:13:15

that's the message that he's trying to put out,

1:13:17

is that there is a safe way if the government

1:13:20

puts certain things in place, and let

1:13:22

that be the message. But don't go out

1:13:24

here promoting that there's a

1:13:26

safe way to do this in America,

1:13:29

because not everybody who does drugs

1:13:31

are doing them because their life

1:13:34

is the goal and they're

1:13:36

trying to escape their problems. A lot of this starts

1:13:38

out as just fun, you know, but

1:13:41

at parties and doing things, and

1:13:43

so somebody may be listening to this guy right

1:13:45

now thinking their life is fine,

1:13:47

but they're curious about what he's saying, and

1:13:50

they try it and die that

1:13:55

bad because the way he talks and makes it seem

1:13:57

like it's not that bad. But that's not the

1:13:59

heroin out scene when I'll be when I'll be buying

1:14:01

these cribs. And that's not how my uncle

1:14:03

od it was back But I told him that. I told

1:14:05

him that, you know, his his perspective was coming from

1:14:07

a real place of provoge. Hello, who's this ain't

1:14:12

Travis, what's going on? What do you think of the doctor? Man?

1:14:15

I just want to say, I've had fool when the first

1:14:17

friends died from overdose in the past year

1:14:19

a year and a half, and I'm talking about people

1:14:22

that were very respectable people until they decided

1:14:24

to start using paying pills and here

1:14:26

I went, and then they completely

1:14:29

changed these people. What's the drug you

1:14:31

started? They were no longer to save people that I

1:14:33

knew in love and respected. They lied,

1:14:35

they cheated, they did anything to get

1:14:37

this wrong and and I

1:14:40

just watched it. You know, over two

1:14:42

years, they completely became

1:14:45

somebody else. For him to say that it's

1:14:47

not the drugs, that it's their personality

1:14:50

had the vibe. Man, these drugs is killing

1:14:52

people. Thank you, bro Grey. Hello, who's

1:14:54

this? I think it's Ashley from Jack

1:14:57

and Little Florida nine four nine o four

1:14:59

was happening and as I

1:15:03

love you guys back. So what's

1:15:05

your thoughts on the doctor that called in from

1:15:08

Florida? My thought is, guys, yo, are so

1:15:10

well dj n V. I know you have

1:15:12

your stands on the drug you can, Chalomagne,

1:15:14

I know you're with therapy. But he was

1:15:16

trying to get out that he's not promoting

1:15:19

drugs. He's just saying for those who

1:15:21

are gonna quit against therapy altogether, especially

1:15:24

our black community who was against therapy,

1:15:26

you just have to safely music. Y'all didn't really let

1:15:28

them talk until the end. Well, can I ask you a question,

1:15:31

where's the safe space with people to do that? In Americaould

1:15:34

you take your drugs to the police station to have them

1:15:36

tested? You know, that's why he said we should build some

1:15:38

other countries that different thoughts. You know, our country is

1:15:41

our country. You're saying, you're

1:15:43

seeing it work in other places, and

1:15:45

so something like that could be implemented here. Instead

1:15:47

of always trying to demonize these people who are

1:15:49

addict and calling them fiends and crackheads, I

1:15:51

think we should I think instead of creating

1:15:53

the safe spaces, we shouldn't invest resources

1:15:56

and the people going to rehab. We should invest resources

1:15:58

in the people seeking treatment and provide

1:16:00

opportunities for them. But what do we do

1:16:02

with the people who say no, our older generation is

1:16:04

against all of that. Man, you could do both.

1:16:06

You could invest more money into that and also have resources

1:16:09

where if they are going to continue to do it, at

1:16:11

least don't die from something that's not

1:16:14

what you think it is. Exact Man, I'm not incurring nobody

1:16:16

to do heroin. I'm not occouraging doesn't

1:16:18

exactly. I'm so what about

1:16:21

the people that are using it? Just? I mean,

1:16:23

that's all you can do if they don't want to get out, if

1:16:26

they don't want to get help, prey for them. Yeah, I mean I want

1:16:29

any leave them, but it's not going any

1:16:31

well. You said just help them, they need help, But

1:16:33

I don't want to encourage anybody else to get on her at

1:16:35

all. All right, eight hundred five eight five

1:16:37

one oh five one, let's talk about it. It's a breakfast club.

1:16:39

Good morning, call

1:16:50

me and your opinions to the breakfast club

1:16:52

to come on five

1:16:56

one morning. Everybody is DJ

1:16:59

Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy.

1:17:01

We are the breakfast club with taking your calls on

1:17:03

the doctor that just called about drug

1:17:06

use, doctor Carl hard he was up here, Yeah

1:17:08

he's here. But like my opinion,

1:17:10

I think that nobody should be used

1:17:12

in heroin, Like I understand that scenes. I

1:17:14

think they should be in cigarettes. If they're telling

1:17:16

you cigarettes causes cancer and

1:17:19

cancer kills you, why are

1:17:21

we allowing people are smoking. I don't think people should

1:17:23

eat only I don't think people should eat red

1:17:25

meat. The only thing I agree with doctor Carl Hard on

1:17:27

is that drugs should be decriminalized.

1:17:29

That should be the message, because I don't want to see people

1:17:31

going to jail because they have addiction

1:17:34

problems. Correct, is a level one

1:17:36

carcinogen and we sell that and eat it. I

1:17:39

mean, if something I think we can, if it's

1:17:41

guaranteed that something can kill you, like cigarettes,

1:17:43

like heroin ken and it's so addictive.

1:17:46

No, I'm not going to encourage nobody

1:17:48

to ever use it and say it's okay or it's fine.

1:17:50

That's just my opinion. But let's go to the phone

1:17:52

lines. Hello, who's this Hey,

1:17:56

good morning? What were your thoughts on the doctor

1:17:59

the car? I get

1:18:02

I get it that he said he wants the kids to come

1:18:04

home. I get that part. Everybody's

1:18:07

gonna try it, But I don't agree

1:18:09

with him when he said, oh go get

1:18:11

it tested. How many attics you know we're

1:18:13

going to be able to go out there, boy,

1:18:16

purchase your drugs and then go get

1:18:18

it tested. No, they want they fix.

1:18:20

Then they don't want to wait and try

1:18:22

to get it pursas they want it. Then I

1:18:24

guess work in other countries.

1:18:27

But Haroin is too much of a monster drug,

1:18:29

y'all. This is Harold.

1:18:33

That's something that helped me. Laughing,

1:18:36

he said, how he quit opious just

1:18:38

like that. That wasn't his drug. But

1:18:40

I bet you he can't quit it, have one just like

1:18:42

that exactly said he hasn't taken it in a year

1:18:44

and a half. I don't believe him. No, I

1:18:47

don't believe that. Well, thank you mama. Hello,

1:18:49

who's this us? Hey Russell?

1:18:51

What's what's your opinion on the doctor? Doctor car Hard?

1:18:53

That just checked him? Um? I think the

1:18:55

quest man, I think he just like

1:18:58

old old old juses, just

1:19:01

trying to justify his ju because

1:19:04

for him to see to destroy

1:19:06

our communities, and it's

1:19:08

crazy. I've been around. I'm sixty

1:19:11

one, I've been around. I've seen him

1:19:13

just uh the boys coming home from

1:19:16

Vietnam all messed uff and and

1:19:18

uh the hall in the eighties besides

1:19:22

Southside Jamaica. It's

1:19:24

tore us apart. Man. But for

1:19:27

him to say that, Hello,

1:19:29

who's this anonymous?

1:19:32

Hey anonymous, what are your thoughts on the doctor? Um?

1:19:35

I felt that I understood

1:19:37

what he was saying. I showed that there

1:19:40

are functional drug users out here. And like I told

1:19:42

other guy at the port, I told him I'm not a drug user,

1:19:44

but I year around who who's

1:19:47

you know? And I've been around people who you I

1:19:49

hear that in your voice. Now I hear that eight four

1:19:51

three, so I know you ain't lying, and yes

1:19:53

he's for three, but anyway, it's so. But

1:19:56

what I'm saying is, you know what I mean. I see

1:19:59

people who are judges,

1:20:01

politicians, lawyers, doctors

1:20:04

who fullhard Friday when they get

1:20:06

off work bullheard Saturday, and then

1:20:08

my days right back at work and doing

1:20:10

their dream. So I've seen something drug

1:20:12

users. But then i'd also been decided that y'all

1:20:14

work for treeing, like the people who's coming to their MoMA

1:20:17

house seeing in the TV went

1:20:19

all of that TWA gets there high. So I see

1:20:21

both sides. But it seemed like initially in

1:20:23

his interview and seemed like y'all were

1:20:26

kind of going hard attacking him. But

1:20:28

I felt what he was saying in with

1:20:31

yawin things also too. It's

1:20:33

not just drugs, it's Harold

1:20:36

Wing right, And

1:20:38

I get that and see the thing. It's like, okay, you

1:20:40

know me and I'm being a drug user. It's like I

1:20:43

think the heroine. I think you're putting on your arms,

1:20:45

but like I have family members who fail

1:20:48

and they're like no, it's in like a bull

1:20:50

form, now you know what I mean? Like where as these

1:20:52

kids out here pumping and posing stuff there, I'm pumping

1:20:55

heroin as still, So it's not even in a neuti

1:20:57

formal one told I've seen young people

1:20:59

twenty year old and they're saying

1:21:01

like, oh, yeah, he's on heroin, And I'm like, in a

1:21:03

way, like you look at them and you can't even

1:21:06

tell they're on herowin. But it's like heroin

1:21:08

has seen the form now, so when we think

1:21:10

of it, we're thinking of the form of you putting

1:21:12

you on your arm of girls. But eventually

1:21:15

it catches up. And last year actually was the highest

1:21:18

opioid overdose rate ever. But

1:21:20

eventually that lifestyle catches up. And I just don't

1:21:22

understand anyone who's actually seen

1:21:24

dopage, who's actually seen heroin uses,

1:21:27

what it does to a person, what it does to a community.

1:21:29

I don't understand how you can encourage anyone to do

1:21:31

heroin. Yeah, Mine comes from a different place.

1:21:34

Mine comes from a close family member that odd

1:21:36

and died and I'll never get back from drugs.

1:21:39

Mine comes from a place of me investing

1:21:41

in real estate in Patterson in Atlantic City

1:21:43

and walking into these houses and seeing

1:21:46

heroin addicts and fiends and stuck

1:21:48

and know that and having conversations

1:21:50

with them and telling me that they can't get help, that

1:21:52

they've tried, They've been to rehab so many different times,

1:21:55

but they just can't kick it. And they

1:21:57

came from good families and their

1:22:00

families to try to save them all, you know, over and over

1:22:02

and over again. But they got to stay in these areas because they

1:22:04

got to buy their drugs. They got to be able to use their

1:22:06

drugs. And how sad that is. And I never

1:22:08

would want my family member, my child, never

1:22:11

a friend or anybody on something

1:22:13

that's dependent where they're living in the

1:22:16

slums, no heat, no air conditioner,

1:22:19

you know, no water, no nothing,

1:22:21

just to get these drugs. Now I was

1:22:24

paying my mother had to deal with because

1:22:26

her brother passed away from the old d And I would

1:22:29

never tell anybody, Oh, being a functional a

1:22:31

drug user, it's okay, No, that's my opinion.

1:22:34

If y'all don't like it, that's me. I don't want my kids,

1:22:36

I don't want my family members. I don't want anybody using

1:22:38

those hardens. I know in the future I'm gonna have a

1:22:40

drink with my children. I know in the future I might

1:22:42

even do. I'm not smoking weak with my children. I ain't doing

1:22:44

no heroin. You know what I'm saying. I'm

1:22:47

smoking no crack, that's me.

1:22:49

I'm not doing no coke. I'm not doing no hero no

1:22:51

crack. I'm not doing opioids. I'm not I'm not doing

1:22:54

none of that. That's for me. I'm not doing ecstasy.

1:22:56

That's just me. I don't want to. That's me personally.

1:22:58

I see the effects of it on family and friends,

1:23:00

and I just don't want to be The more of the story

1:23:03

is, I do feel that all those drugs should be decriminalized.

1:23:05

I don't want to see people going to jail for addiction, but

1:23:08

I want to see people get help. I don't want to create safe

1:23:10

spaces so they can do their drugs. We should invest

1:23:12

resources in the people going to rehab, seking

1:23:14

treatment, and providing better opportunities for them.

1:23:16

I agree with that as well. I don't understand how

1:23:18

somebody that's addicted to heroin could get locked up.

1:23:20

If they're addicted to it, they get

1:23:23

help. All right, Well, we got rumors all the way.

1:23:25

Yes, we are going to talk about a new group that Bruno

1:23:27

1:24:54

today. Young Blue has new music out with Coy Larey.

1:24:56

Also today, Thieves in Atlanta. Of

1:24:58

course, all right, Na mister

1:25:00

potato Head is now gender neutral.

1:25:03

People have all kinds of jokes now on social

1:25:05

media. Somebody said from stud to spud, so

1:25:08

they said they're renaming the toy line,

1:25:10

though not the individual toys themselves.

1:25:12

I know people thought it was just going to be a gender neutral

1:25:15

potato Head, but now there's still mister

1:25:17

potato Head, there's still Missus potato Head,

1:25:19

but the line of products is called

1:25:21

potato Head. Who complained about

1:25:24

this, who said that this is something people want it because

1:25:26

aren't all potato heads neutral as soon as you just removed

1:25:28

the parts. That's why they come with accessories, right,

1:25:31

Yes, I don't know this. Yeah,

1:25:33

if I put eyes in the nose on it, it could

1:25:35

be whatever. It could be whatever they want

1:25:37

everybody to feel included. So

1:25:40

they're promoting gender equality and enclosure.

1:25:42

Potatoes don't have gender Listen. And here's the

1:25:44

thing too, I don't see no mister potato

1:25:46

head all missus potato head that come with Peter,

1:25:50

not at all. They had like the mustache,

1:25:52

and I guess that's

1:25:55

fine, but that's not genitalia.

1:25:57

Yeah, but they still exist. Mister potato

1:25:59

Head it's still there, and Missus potato Head is still there. It's just called

1:26:02

potato heads. All right, man, listen, all

1:26:04

you woke people need some sleep. It's all

1:26:06

right. When you when you stay up too long, you

1:26:08

get tired, you start making really silly

1:26:11

choices, all right, Chelsea Hannah.

1:26:13

A happy birthday to her. She's forty six years old, and

1:26:15

to celebrate, she was skiing naked. I don't know if

1:26:17

you guys saw that, but she also put out an

1:26:19

inspiring message. I'm grateful to be able to appreciate

1:26:22

so much Canadian beauty. She's in Canada working.

1:26:24

Coming to Canada for winter on a work visa and

1:26:26

following all the mandatory quarantine rules has

1:26:28

exposed me to some of the most beautiful pieces of nature

1:26:30

I have ever seen. This is the place that made me fall

1:26:33

in love with skiing, fall in love with the mountains, and

1:26:35

appreciate that Mother Nature is always in controlling,

1:26:37

that we must respect her and we must respect

1:26:40

each other. Yeah. I agree with all that, But when I saw that picture,

1:26:42

all of her, with my daddy voice in my headset, that's how you

Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

1:30:25

Now, this is the last Black History Month that we do

1:30:27

in this month. Dam Black History Month will be over after

1:30:29

this hum Well, I mean, the beauty of it is

1:30:31

we black. So we celebrate our history every

1:30:34

day, all day, absolutely, okay, But today's

1:30:36

Black History Month legend. The last one of the month is

1:30:38

the great Barry White. Okay? Who was Barry White?

1:30:41

Barry White was an American singer songwriter,

1:30:43

a brother who had a voice like none other. If he was

1:30:45

born in the late seventies, you know, eighties,

1:30:47

it's a great chance. Your daddy released

1:30:50

all his ancestors into your mother while

1:30:52

Barry White was the soundtrack. Okay, ask them.

1:30:55

Can't get enough of your love, baby, never never gonna

1:30:57

give you up. You're the first to last my everything.

1:30:59

Come on, now, let's hear a little, quick, little

1:31:01

compilation. You know what I mean of that? That

1:31:04

base baritone voice that Barry had. Yeah,

1:31:16

and you lay down the next never

1:31:20

gonna give you about

1:31:25

the way about a

1:31:30

man. Incredible records. But the thing I love about Barry

1:31:32

White wasn't just his music. It was his wisdom. And

1:31:35

one of my favorite moments was a conversation he had

1:31:37

on the Arsenio Hall Show where he

1:31:39

spoke on the power that we possess.

1:31:43

Let's listen. The Breakfast

1:31:45

Club presents a New Black History Month

1:31:47

legend. You know,

1:31:50

people tend to play

1:31:53

down our power or don't

1:31:55

worry about it. This next guy do it, unless

1:31:57

that's God above to do it. There's a lot

1:31:59

of things has to change on this planet

1:32:01

Earth that only we can change.

1:32:04

And until we embrace the fact

1:32:06

that we are as powerful as

1:32:09

we are as beings, we're gonna continue

1:32:12

to make the mistakes and allow

1:32:14

the mistakes to be made, from our children,

1:32:17

to our doubts, to our elderly,

1:32:19

to whatever situation you want to talk about.

1:32:22

And that was another New Black History Month

1:32:24

legend, the courtesy of the Breakfast Club.

1:32:28

Long Live Barry White Man. All

1:32:48

Month, man, why not you know, talk about

1:32:50

black power? Okay, black power?

1:32:52

Two quotes about black power from Stokely

1:32:55

car Michael, one from Huey Newton. First,

1:32:57

Stokely, black power can be clearly

1:32:59

defined mind for those who do not attach

1:33:01

the fears of white America to their questions

1:33:04

about it. Hughie P. Newton, black

1:33:06

power is given power to people who

1:33:08

have not had power to determine

1:33:10

their destiny. Breakfast

1:33:12

club is y'all finish or y'all dumb.
