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,

1:43

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?
15:54

16:25

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
Mars and Anderson pad Hat formed. All
1:23:29

1:24:52

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
1:26:44

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.
