President Trump ak eight, mister tariffs, he's been dropping tariffs left and right. We'll talk to him next. We'll talk to Morgan about this next, and don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning morning everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jesse Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club, all right now, let's get in some front page news.
Now.
Congratulations to call Melo Anthony has been elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Easy call, first ballot Hall of Fame's man.
Now.
The full class of twenty twenty five will be announced on Saturday at the Men's Final Four in San Antonio.
So salute Aget into a mellow easy call.
There was never any doubt, not at all. That's the first ballot Hall of Fame.
Okay, what up, mall, what up? What up?
What up?
And hey bottimball shout out Carmelo Anthony. Yella.
All right, so let's get into the front page news. So, yeah, it's tariff Thursday, it's tariff every day.
Right.
So President Trump has signed new US global tariffs, keeping in line with his campaign promise to saying that tariffs will in decades of unfair trade policies. So he spoke more on the order yesterday at the White House. Let's jump right into the audio and take a listen to President Trump today.
We're standing up for the American worker and we are finally putting America first.
My answer is very simple. If they complain, if.
You want you're tariff raid to be zero, then you build your product right here in America, because there is no tariff if you build your plant, your product in America.
So Trump blamed past leaders for trade policies that he said were imbalanced, adding that tariff's stand to benefit Americans. As you heard in that audio companies can also avoid paying tariffs if they make their products in the US. Trump spoke more on this whole tariffs thing. Let's hear more from presidential.
April second, twenty twenty five will forever be remembered as today American industry was reborn, the day America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again. Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for more than fifty years. But it is not going to happen anymore.
It's not going to happen.
So tariffs cover a wide range of products that are targeting several countries, including Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union.
Now Trump called the reciprocal tariffs liberal.
The day April second, yes, yesterday, liberation day for the US after trading partners have quote looted, pillaged, and raped American industries for decades, leading to a loss of US jobs and manufacturing. All countries will have an immediate ten percent baseline tariff on imported goods, and many are getting hit with larger tariffs on top of that. Now, critics claim the reciprocal tariffs are unfair and could lead to hyper inflation.
You guys have any thoughts?
Yeah, The thing about the tariffs I don't understand is what is the end game here? Like, you know, I hear him say it, well, in unfair trade policies, but you know, it just feels like, you know, they put taxes on us, so now we were gonna put taxes on them. And I guess he's trying to get people to bring manufacturing back.
To the US.
But yes, does it just cost more to build here? Would they make it cheaper to manufacture here? Like, what's the benefit of building, you know in America just zero tariffs?
Well, employees are cheaper in other places too, But that's a good question. You know, he was talking about you know, other people charging US tariffs as well, so he wants them to you know, knock off their tariffs, which will knock off our tariffs. I guess that's what he's saying, But I thought he was against free trade. And I thought he wanted more people to build here, but like you said, how can they build?
Hei is more the build here.
One of the things that is striking me is the auto tariffs and how that stands to impact a lot of Americans because it's not like we make all the parts auto parts here in America, so we stand to still even if you buy an American car, the price of that is still going to go up because some of the steel, some of the materials are not made in America.
So it's just like, yeah.
It still affects us.
It still affects and there saying cost prices will have to raise between three and ten thousand dollars. What it will do is it'll make use cause a premium, you know what I mean, because you know you won't have that extra ten thousand on your used vehicle, you know, absolutely.
And I just don't understand how you know you're saying you're going to make it easier for the American workers, but you're doing things that are going to immediately hurt those American workers financially.
Yes, and this has immediate impact on your economy.
Yes.
In fact, there is a bipartisan effort to block the tariffs against Canada. Republicans Republican excuse me, Kentucky's Republican Senator Ran Paul is actually working with Democrat Senator out of Virginia, Tim Kaine, who proposed to build that would essentially end the emergency declaration put forth by the Trump administration to impose tariffs on Canada. Now, the Senate voted fifty one to forty eight in favor of the resolution that would block President Trump's tariffs on Canadian products yesterday. Well, actually we don't have time to get into the audio, but I will say that there are four other Republicans that support this Democratic led measure, Susan Collins of Maine, Rampaul and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. So the resolution, authored by Virginia Democrat Tim Kaine, is expected to stall in the House. However, the vote signaled bipartisan opposition on the sweeping levees. So this is this is bigger than just whatever party you voted for.
This is in American so surely, but see that's the whole thing, you know, that's why we have all of these conversations about party and you know, everybody goes back and forth, you know, at each other because you're a Democratic, you're Republican. But once that person is in the White House, at the end of the day, we're just all Americans who are impacted by the decisions of what that president you know, does like. So so you can scream Democrat, Republican all you want. At the end of the day, that is your president. We are Americans and we're impacted by his decisions.
And that's that's essentially what the senators were saying that Hey, look, if we could agree that we don't like this, then you know, we can go ahead and put some forth some measures to combat it. And this is something that you know, those senators seem to agree on.
All we care I'm sorry, Morgan. All we care about is American people. Is you know, keeping some money in our pocket and being safe.
I don't care what your race is, your religion is, your sexuality is, your agenda is.
Those are the two things that you care about the most. Having some money in your pocket and being safe.
That's it.
Hurry it, Clockett, all right, So that's you for six am.
I'll talk to you guys at seven and we will get into what's going.

Holds all of his story.
The daughter said he left the go drop off a backpack. Video surveillans got him walking back and forth between the apartment complex they live there and the McDonald's. They don't call a bank.
Where he was supposed to have an interview at.
This man even had no interviews.
Man to you, don I seen somebody else say something differently that they actually spoke to the girlfriend or the mother's baby mother and they said that he was at an interview.
So I've seen conflicting reports, so I don't know what.
It was, but that's what a bake.
It's an a baked manager. The banked manager did say that he filled out an application on the twenty second and that they had kind of like an informal conversation for like fifteen to twenty minutes. But I don't know if this was the same day at whatever, But believe those kids for that long he was not at an interview. And the kids said this ain't the first time he done left them.
Yeah, I said that yesterday.
I was just like, what job interview takes almost two hours? And what job interview allows you to go back and forth?
You know?
Because God right, like the witnesses said that they saw him coming back and forth to right.
Man, these folks be playing in our face every day. Like when I listened to y'all in the morning. Every morning somebody called him big, and it's always something going on like man, That's why hard to have empathy for folks, cause.
You just don't.
You never know.
You're absolutely right what you just said, Tuma. It's hard to have empathy for people because you just never know. And sometimes somebody will send you a gofund me and read the story and be like, man, go f yourself.

Good morning, dj Amy. What's going on with my brother?
What's off your chest?
All right?
Listen? Listen, listen. I feel like, uh that there's a lot going on with this whole thing of little Baby in regards to his involvement with this video being shot down. I feel like he's being set up and targeted because he's making a lot of stride that most rappers don't make. And I also noticed that a few months ago the brother came out of Harvard and was in Harvard in classic. I think it's set up. I don't like. I mean, I want us to just be more aware and not be so fast to judge him and what's going on with him. But you know, vy, if you I don't know, you won't remember what I met you, Uh the day before Angela yee her last day, you had an event Elizabeth at at Barcool and I met you that night. I don't remember that two years ago. Kind of clown Yeah, that kind of clowns you because you know you had the name remember that.

Crazy right Hollywood, Charlo Man, That's crazy.
I'm I'm joking man, I'm playing. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch it.
I do want to say something to you about the little baby completing the Harvard Business School.
You know that was just week long program. I'm not hating. I'm just saying week it was a week.
Long program program. He took a bunch of time graduate. But he's still winning. He's still you know, time the five days just to go up and there.
I mean, he's a little baby. He could have been doing.
I know how people are about that people like that are actually graduated from Harvard.
That yeah, I thought when he said that, like he meant like a little baby was actually going through schools.
He was there.
It was a five days it was a week long program at Harvard Business School.
But that's how that's real, HBC. You grads feel about people get honorary.
Degrees to y'all need to donate more money to y'all schools like we do.
Damn should even go to a class you know.
I didn't, but I donated a lot of money to Sidclone and State. By the way, speaking of that, the deadline for my scholarship is April sixteenth, So you need to go, uh send your essays into South Carolina State University so you can be eligible for the scholarship.
You give away scholarship. That is what's up? I know that's right for a couple of years.
Scholarships.
Yeah, well do some money through.
That.
My mom's all the mater I showed up for mine. When you what's up? Lauren?
Getting a little something?
Now, what's up?
The podcast only got three episodes time.
Eight five, five, one oh five one. Now we got the latest with Lauria coming up.
We do Kanye West just dropped the song and he let us know Bianca, his wife, did leave him and it's because of his social media rants.
All right, but we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club on Morning, the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. I got to cross all teas, dot all eyes.
Let's get to the latest. Laura La becoming a straight fast she gets them somebody that knows somebody detail.
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest song, The Latest with Laurence La Rosa.
Times you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of every time on the breakfast Cloud.
Okay, So Kanye West has released a song. The song is called Bianca. This is from his new album w W three, and the song talks about Bianca leaving him because of his social media post.
That was that was miss Juicy from the Ricky Smile already.
I know I've voiced in my head.
Well the song and the song. It is a song. He talks about it.
He says that Bianca lets him because of a serious of tweets. He doesn't specify which exact tweets. But there's been a lot of them because of a social media rant. He says that she came to him and said, look, I need you to get help.
Uh.
He says she was trying to get him committed. He said no, so she left.
So he's been tracking her through like his car app and until she comes back, he's not going to sleep. He also says that he is channeling the spirit of Donda. He feels like this is an attack from people who voted for Hillary Clinton, and he feels like people are trying to kill him.
Right now, why would that song bring her back?
Though?
Right?
Like, that ain't the song that's going to bring him back. That's a song that's gonna keep her away.
That girl probably sing somewhere with some clothes on, so happy and warm.
Finally, war, if you want to bed, you better go call Keith Sweat and put him on these That ain't it?
Yeah?
Well, I mean, but it confirms all of the because you guys, remember there have been so many rumors about them being up and down, like she's leaving him, the marriage is over, her friend, so it was like sources close to her friends say that like she's worried and she's blah blah blah. I think this confirms a lot of that and what we were seeing, like when they would pop out in Tokyo wherever they were happy after those reports was probably her just trying to make sure he was good, very similar to what Kim Kardashian went through.
I will say, I just want to speak for me, go ahead. I didn't need confirmation because I didn't care.
Oh my god, I know Beyonca's dad is happy though, Yeah.
I'm sure, yeah, yeah, So I wonder who's in Kanye's camp now, like who's who's he moving with and all that now because it was just them too right.
Academic Oh absolutely.
So speaking of academics, posted some text yesterday from Kanye, and the text were in response to what we talked about up here about jay Z not owning Kanye West Masters, like he had put that out through that Academics interview and we debunked it. So there's a text where someone's like, hey, Charlemagne says jay Z didn't own your Masters?
Is that true?
Kanye says, you know what, I'm not sure Charlemagne won't speak up on how those women are trafficking my black kids. And thank you for Oh, then he thinks I'm for posting something about Chloe. And then he says, Charllemage won't speak up about my position on the Jews, He'll only speak against me. What if eighty percent of what I said in fact, in twenty percent was opinion or something I was misinformed about, my sentiment is still the same. I'm not a n word who understands publishing in master's usage, et cetera. I always ask, what's the point of owning master tapes if you don't own the tape deck? So what does Charlemagne say? So who does Charlot say owns them? I'm happy I said it out loud so I can find out in words. Being black ball from having any legal representation.
What is your problem with him? You won't speak up or speak out.
I don't even know what he talking about the mental house, but I will say this.
Why would he jump out there and make those claims against jay Z and not even know if they're true or not. He doesn't even know who owns his catalog. He doesn't know who makes money off his catalog. Kanye is be out here talking lying for attention and y'all eat it up.
But his attorneys can find out who owns the masters.
He said he's black ball from legal representation, or you don't listen. I don't listen, mean your Dominican is.
But the reason I say that is because yesterday there was a rumor that jay Z sold of masters to get his master's back, which was a room with two They said all of that is nonsense. That's ridiculous about them text messages. At the top of those text messages, what did he say about jay Z? At the very top, what do you say, jay Z?
White a ward is going too far? Remember that false idol song?
How can Kanye call jay Z white ass?
Who you can act more white and seeks more white validation than Kanye Freaking West. The dude is out here with White Lives Matter T shirts on selling them on his website, Swastika t shirts dressed up in kk K outfish, and you got the nerve to.
Call another black man white.
A black man that way more blacker than you with a beautiful black wife.
And black family.
But y'all just be letting any niggas get away with anything and eating it up. It's ridiculous. I've never seen jay Z's ass. I can't tell you the color.
JA got to do with this?
He said, Jason White, He said white.
You said up, I would expect a white man. I would expect another white man to say that he's a Dominican white man.
I'm black. I know I am.
Show me your certificate right.
Now, but certificate.
I don't want to be gay.
This one is so, we would swear to God.
Gay is young and yes, it is that the birthday they want to deal one the time right now?
What?
Oh my god, jes why you get so hyped when you said that, though I love young Marie.
Okay, Jones, you.
Already having me and girl? Relax, happy break that young man?
What is going on? I'm short.
Dropping a bomb for young bomb for song at least?
What is going on here?
All right?
That's the ladies. Lord, I'm sorry, Lauren, I'm it all right.
I just want her to her birthday, all right.
When we come back, we got front No, actually I don't, but she rips.
She could talk me.
Through it, all right. All right, up next we got front page News is the breakfast club.
Good morning.
If you're like into the breakfast club.
Everybody is Jean j n V Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get back in some front page news again. We got to congratulate Carmelo Anthony. He has been elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Easy call man, First Ballad Hall of Famer Man Srom Luther Mellow.
Absolutely, and also the NBA is looking into John Moran. They believe he might have been using his hands and arms to mimic a shoot, like shooting a gun toward the Golden State Warriors bench in Tuesday's game. So they're wanting into that. Well, you know, they don't like you using the gun stuff and pointing fingers that they need.
To change the language and stop saying, shoot, he shot the ball. He's shooting. I don't like who Caures like and you know what bothers me about that. But Steph Curry had fifty two points in that game, twelve three pointers and that's what we're talking about.
And he's doing an investigation.
What's up?
Mrgan so Elon Musk.
He will likely be stepping back from his role in the Trump administration. The reports come after the tech billionaire super Pac spent millions in a losing effort to get their Republican back to candidate on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Musk has repeatedly said he'll leave his position at coach the Department of Government Efficiency within his one hundred thirty day mandate as a non governmental employee. So if you're not an elected official or a non government employee, you're just a special employee by the government.
Well, you only have one hundred and thirty days to work.
So that sentiment was backed up by the White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt, who called the reports garbage. But you know, Elon Musk is essentially standing to be done with all of this at his one hundred thirty days.
You guys have any thoughts on that.
Yeah, I never understood why Elon wanted to be on the front lines anyway, Like when you look at you know, how it's impacting his business, when you look at how it's impacting Tesla, like the sales of plumbing and the stocks are dropping. I never understood why he just couldn't be like every other oligarch and you know, donate to these campaigns and be the puppet master in the shadows. I never understood why he wanted to be all of in the videos, all upon the records dancing.
It was never understood it.
When he first did it be a backsfied.
Well, yeah, because I thought when he first did it, I thought that the evaluation of his company shot in the air crazy. And then I did sow all the other issue been doing it just shot right back down. But I thought that at first it was like a good move for Tesla.
But the people who buy these Teslas mostly are liberals.
Liberals are the ones who care about climate change and your electric cars and all of that. So, like, you know, you get so tied in with MacCAM but they always say that if you're a businessman, you know, don't get so entrenched in, you know, any one political side because what Michael Jordan's say Republicans.
Democratic Republican, the Democrats both box.
Yeah, it's giving he was bored or something, you know, but yeah, we will see what ends up happening with should have.
Did what every other rich man does when they get bored, go gay what.
All right?
Goods?
Wait, see, I'm like you you know, you know from experience, I just heard things. All right, guys, I let's bring things home to you In New York. New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He's praising the dismissal of the corruption case that was against him, Thanking his legal team. Adam said he's happy that he can focus on the city and the city's future and finally move on. He's also apologizing to New Yorkers for having to go through this with him. Let's take a listen to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Let me be clear, as I said all along, this case should have never, should have never been brought, and I did nothing wrong. I'm not happy that our city can finally close the book on this and focus solely on the future about great city.
So a federal judge issued the decision on Wednesday morning to toss the case with prejudice, meaning it can't be brought back to court this week's uh. This is weeks after the DOJ ordered the case to be dropped, and just one day after Adams is required to file documents to appear on the Democratic mayoral primary ballot, which I believe you guys election day is in June, right, So yeah, it looks like you guys are going to be gearing up for that New York election.
You should go listen to Eric Adams on my Guy Andrews shows podcast Flagrant Like he talks, he says he feels like he was targeted by the Biden administration because he spoke out against the migrant issue. And he said that he feels like there's a permanent government that is in control, like a permanent government that regardless of what happens in elections, who looks like to figure head. He said, he feels like there's a permanent government that's really in control. I just thought that was interesting for us sitting mare to say stuff like that.
And and but that was prior to his charges.
Prior to the charge.
I'd be curious to hear from Mayor Eric Adams tap In. You know how you feel about that now? I mean, do you still feel that's the case, being that your charges were dropped. A lot of people are saying that, you know, all of this is happening because he was kind of chummy with the Trump administration or that he you know, was working with the Trump administration.
So you know, I don't know.
We will continue to see watch that situation, see or hopefully that particular situation. There is a closed book on his particular case, but you know, I know he is still running for mayor. So we will follow that story and bringing things home.
To here in the d n V or in DC.
So, former President Obama is apologizing for his surprise appearance in a family photo.
Y'all.
He photo Obama this family.
He was taking a walk on Monday to the cherry blossoms, which you know are the cherry trees down here that were a gift from Japan down in the title basin, when he strolled into a series of pictures being taken of the Moore's families young two children. Now, the mom, Pamela Moore, was focused on corralling the kids because there's no railing and it's you know, near the water, so they were like making sure that the kids weren't walking towards the water anything like that.
But dad was like, whoa is that Obama?
Is that Obama?
Is that Obama?
And then when the mom finally you know, got the shots done and all of these things, she finally surfaced and was like, Okay, what were you saying?
And yeah, it was Obama Clear's day.
Let's take a listen to the mom, Pamela or excuse me, Pamela Moore in that incident, and my.
Husband's like that's Obama. I don't know he say it. I'm like, yeah, whatever, I'm making sure press. I'm looking at pressing right now after they're done with their their shoot. I've been picked pressing up and I'm like, what did you just say? He's like, that's Obama.
I was like what.
I was like, well, did we get a picture?
And then we went to a photographer and like she scrolled back and we were.
Like we saw, like we got it.
Apologize I needs it wasn't a real It wasn't a real apology. He basically, you know, caught wind of what happened and sent a message to the Yeah it was a black family, he said, pressing and Bell, I hope you enjoyed peak bloom My bead was stepping into the shot.
He wasn't like a whole issued apology from like a president.
But it was just like, hey, President Obama, if you got caught out there with your second family, just say.
That it.
Look like no photo Obama, that looked like a nice family scroll.
No, the.

If you haven't seen the picture, I'm sure the Breakfast Club will post picture so you guys could actually see it.
All right.
When we come back, we have Ellie Mistyle joining us. He's the author of Bad Law ten popular laws that are ruining America.
You're not gonna miss this. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good Morning, the Breakfast Club.
Morning.
Everybody is DJ n V, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. They call him Big Ali. The reason I don't want to messing your last name is.
My stylef It's miss Stall rhymes with Chris Stall, and the kids used to say Ellie rhymes with Jelly. I didn't like that at all, So.
Welcome new book out, bad Law Man.
First of all, Elie, you know you're one of my favorite would have listened to. I love reading your work in the nation. I started reading a lot more of your stuff a few years ago. When I realized the Constitution didn't mean much okay anymore? Right, So I'm glad you're here. What got you into studying constitutional law?
Well, I went to law school and I hated it. I went to Harvard Law School, and part of the legal training is like they say that they're going to make you think like a lawyer, right, So what that means is that they take the way you think, which was fine to me, and they break you and then they try to build you back up in this new like legal way of understanding the world. And I just never accepted the training. I like, at every point when you're telling me that, like, oh, well, this is how it's always been done, I'm always like by the slavers and I should care about that?
Why?
And just so was a constant while I was in law school, like back and forth in terms of my professors trying to kind of push me in a certain box and me resisting that box and not, you know, not all of my professors. One of my professors was current Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan. She was great, right, but I would go to her office hours and be like, why is this like this? And she would say, Thurgood Marshall once said, it's like, I don't give a damn what Thurgod said. He was talking for a different time, what about our time? And so these are the conversations I had all the time, and that led to my first book and certainly my career in general.
And that's why you feel like all laws before nineteen sixty five should be deemed on constitutional.
I said presumptively on constitutional, which is a legal dodge. I'm trying to lawyer my way around that. But my fundamental premise is that before the nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Act, which I think is the most important piece of legislation ever passed in American history, this was functionally apartheid country. Not everybody who lived here could vote here, Not everybody who lived here could participate in the government. Here. The majority of people who lived here, if you think about not just black people, but also Latinos and also women, couldn't actually participate in the government. What do you call that. We have a word for that. It's that word is apartheid. And so if you're now going to say that we pass some law before everybody had a say, before everybody had a vote, and that law it should still be controlling today. I say, hell no, Right, it's like Roy Breaker from lock Stuck. Right, if the milk sour, I ain't the type of tea to drink it. Right, So, if you're gonna go all the way back before everybody had a vote, I'm saying that, presumptively speaking, that law should mean nothing.
Now.
I'm not saying that you get rid of every single law passed before nineteen sixty five. Some of them I quite like, like the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act. That was a good law. I also like the Sherman Antitrust Act. I like a lot of laws that were passed before nineteen sixty five. But my argument is that if we liked the law, we could pass it again. We could pass it again, this time asking everybody. And for that example, I didn't make that up myself. Right. The example that I'm using here is what they did in South Africa. Right when South Africa got over apartheid. Did they just go back to their africaner racist constitution and be like, oh, we just need a couple of amendments, We just need a couple of changes here to make it work. No, they threw the whole thing out and started again, this time asking everybody, this time having a completely new delegation of all of the people of South Africa, not just the white folks, but not no white folks, and they came up with a new constitutions. One of the reasons why the South African Constitution is generally thought of as one of the best constitutions in the world and ours continues to be a piece of crap.
We're talking to elim style a new book out now, Bad Law ten popular laws that are ruining America, And you talk about chapter three, who gave away the skies to the airline?
Now, I just want you to know, Jess and myself, we're reading some of your chapter titles.
Yes we love them. We gotta go through a lot of them. There's a couple that dead me and know we're talking to me like these would be good if we won on edibles.
But go the all life flying? Yes, you love flying, you life flying? I hate flying. It is like the worst It is always the worst day of my life. Well, I'm fat, so I gotta I gotta squeeze myself into a small asse that ain't built for me. I got somebody's you know, seat back right into my lap. I can't eat nothing, all right, I gotta get the most embarrassing moment of my life every time I have to do it. Man, I'm gonna have a seat, bulks, I'm a fatty please and then right, and then I like cry on the inside. Right. The food's expensive, the liquor sucks, the service sucks. I'm always delayed, my bags get lost. It is miserable. It didn't always used to be this way. Flying used to be awesome, spacious seats, good service, kind people, and they weren't nickel and diming you at every point. And what the reason why it used to be great and now it's not is this thing called deregulation, the idea. The airline industry used to be one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country. That makes a lot of sense, because we're putting metal in the sky and hoping it comes down at a survivable rate. That's crazy. So it used to be one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country with literal price fixing. Literally they could the government set the maximum price that you could charge for certain routes. And I know conservatives, Republicans even a lot of Democrats are like, price fixing, that's terrible, that stops innovation. No, it doesn't. It makes flying a public service and it makes it easy for people to get around the country. FDR thought it was a war plan. Thought it was part of our mobilization plan for war to have reliable, cheap and accessible commercial airflight. Right, Democrats and Republicans gave this guys away literally two corporate raiders in the nineteen seventies. Now, when I started researching this book, I actually assumed that this was a Ronald Reagan program because most you know, I don't know about your process. My process is usually like, if I see something bad, show me the Republicans, right, show me what Reagan did, because I'm sure it's has funcked me. And there's always a mustache twirling Republican, you know, behind every curtain. For this particular issue, this Republican plan to deregulate the airlines and let corporate let the market decide how we fly, as opposed to the government that was spearheaded by the Democrats. And as I did the research, Democrats that we all know kept coming up. Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy huge in this deregulation. Stephen Bryer one of the Democratic appointees to the Supreme Court. For a long time, there were all of these Democrats that like got sucked in Ralph Nader right, got sucked into the gospel of deregulation. And once they did it, once the Republicans, I would say, snowjob the Democrats into this thing. The first thing that happened when they give away the airlines is the thing that has killed the Democratic Party. From my entire lifetime, the Airline Deregulation Act came out in nineteen seventy eight. I was born in nineteen seventy eight. From my entire lifeline labor got gutting. Airline jobs used to be good jobs, baggage handlers and flight attendants and pilots. Pilots used to be one of the best jobs you could get. And with market forces, with deregulation, those good jobs got slashed, right. And then you go into the Reagan era where Reagan's like social safety net. Here's a big ol' ho on cutting in your social safety net, and people fell from good middle class jobs straight through down to the bottom. And they've never forgiven the Democrats for it. See that's the thing that I think the Democratic Party didn't kind of realize when you cut labor. Labor used to vote for Democrats consistently, right, not just black labor, white labor, this white working class laborers used to vote for Democrats. But once the market controlled everything, Democrats weren't helping them, and that's how they became I believe it's part of the reason why they became obsessed with their cultural issues as opposed to their economic issues, because they felt like they weren't going to get ahead economically anyway.
Right.
If you tell people like you're not gonna get head economically, you're gonna be poor, you're gonna be struggling, but you're gonna be better off than that black person over there, they're gonna be like, Okay, sign me up. Trump, Like, That's that's how it happens. You get You tell white folks that they're gonna have nothing, but they're gonna have a little bit more than black folks, and white folks will sign up.
All right, we got more with Ellie mystyle. When we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club.
Good morning morning.
Everybody is DJ.
Env Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Ellie Mystyle, the author of Bad Law. You hat of course chapter nine.
Why can't we say gay? What are we supposed to say?
So?
You know, as I'm sure most of your listeners are aware of, I could have written the whole book just bad Law in Florida, like it is going gone through the Florida Like this is terrible, is there? This is just racist? This is stupid, Right, I focused on the Florida don't say gay law because it is so particularly oppressive and stupid. The law says that you cannot teach about gender difference, sexuality differences, transgender issues. You can't say any of those words to school children, right. And if you talk to certain kinds of conservatives, they are like, well, what's fine is why does a third grader need to learn about gay people? Why can't they just learn about reading writing? Right? And I'm like, do y'all have third graders? Like I got a twelve year old and a nine year old?
Right?
They talk about all this stuff, not in a kind of lascivious sexual way, but they're interested in who in how these things were?
Right?
How did it would they be if they weren't taught about it in school. They showing it on television.
Yea, because they just see it in their daily lives.
Right.
And so I use the example if I if I'm a school teacher and i'm you know, I've got my wife, and I have a picture of me and my wife on my desk at school, the kids see that it's me and my wife, that it's a man and a woman.
Right.
If I'm a gay school teacher and I have a picture of me and my husband on the desk, they see that that's different. They see that it's a man and a man, and they might have a question about that. And in Florida, I'm not allowed to say why. And so you act like it. People act like it's neutral, but it's not. It is what's the scholars call heteronormative. It's pushing the man and the woman. That's the normal way of doing it. And the man and the man or the woman and woman. That's just crazy and weird when you could just say like, oh, that's my husband. Anyway, back to math, So.
What do you think about you know, Trump's transgender of bill, where it's just two genders to dandy evil.
What is your thoughts on that?
It's it's again, biologically, it's not true. There are people who are different. That's just a biological fact. We can pretend people are people. Think that the biological and neurological. Man, I don't know.
I'm not.
Because I said neurological, because because you can think you're in the wrong body. But I'm not going if that's not biologically the fact man, biologically as men and women.
I know, I don't think that's right. I think that there are I again, is something other than the man and horn. I see now you're you're pushing me in the You're getting me away from the law. But I'm just asking, as I understand it, there are people who are born with female hormones in male bodies, right or vice versa, and they want to express how they feel inside as opposed to how they look on the outside. But I think the larger point is not just that I don't know. The larger point is I don't care. It's not me. I'm the way that I am, right, I don't care how it doesn't affect me just somebody else being in trance doesn't make me think. Oh man, maybe I should maybe I should be trans. I always wanted to wear nice hats, like that's not like, that's not how my whatever. I tell a story in the book about in my kids class, one of one of the kids in my younger kids class came out as a boy after being a girl I want to say eight, And you know, the parents were just like, I does one really? How's that? The kids were just like, yeah, whatever, it's Ramsey's now. It used to be clear Patrick, it's Ramseys now, but he's cool.
And then if I'm your mom, I'm like, no, I named you Corey. How are you just gonna come up and be Shakira today?
But think about that.
But that's between that's between Ramseys and and his mom and the mom. That's not between me, and that's not that's not between the school and the kids.
I don't have a say the school call them or her, you know what I mean?
Because if you have Mamma named you Corey, and now you say and I don't want to be called Corey.
I want to be called Shamika. So now the school is supposed to call you.
Man.
I go to my kids go to a progressive school where like if my kid came in and said I want to be called Ketchup. Today, they would call him ketch up. They would call him what the kid wants to be called. And I think that's just the natural thing to do. If somebody comes and tells you their name, you say their name, right. You don't say, actually your cash is Clay. No, you say you want to be Mhammad Ali. Today, guess what you get to be mohamad Al.
That kid goes to school and say I'm Batman, then.
They're gonna call my kid back.
But see, I think that's a little different. We're talking about it name. Yeah, because if I say, yes, this is my name, you call me my name. But if I say I am ketch Up and I just stand still.
Dogs come around coming on my head, that's just a little different.
See, I disagree. I don't think Ramseys does anything different in school now that he's Ramsey than he did when he was Cleopatra. I don't think that there's any doesn't learn differently, doesn't even different.
You might go in a different bathroom, might start going to other women, which make women uncomfortably.
Kids uncomfortable.
Yeah, the other eight year old girls, all right, they're only eight do you do you know how uncomfortable kids are in bathrooms as they hit puberty generally, So now you're send a little boy, yeah, but nowall until you've.
Got a word past the sink and other dudes before you get to and it's like what you're doing.
You have daughters and sons, sons, all right, so your sons will not get naked in front of your wife and other women, but he will do it in front of you.
Correct if you have to change or if it's something like that. Now, imagine a girl going into a boy's bathroom from where urinal. He's gonna feel Uncomfortable's gonna make him felwo, don't you think?
And even more uncomfortable than he would then you know.
So we were at City Field and my boy going to the urinal and my boy just drops trout, doesn't he use the fly, doesn't like, just drops trou to his ankles and just takes a peed. Now I was uncomfortable. I was like, that's that? How was you raised?
Oh?
Wait?
That was me?
Like that right, and like maybe you should pull you know when you do go? Why it's my butt? Why I was peeing?
And I was like he dec sounds like your son.
That's a fair point, right, Like people will get over it. People, people will learn. And again, we're talking about this from the perspective of making things more comfortable for the heteronormative kids in the school, we also should be talking about this in terms of making things more comfortable for the trans kids in the school. Because as much as we might say it might be uncomfortable for the trans girl in the girl's bathroom for the other girls, imagine how uncomfortable it is for the trans girl in the boys bathroom as they hit puberty. And then we know, and again this is not me making up. We know statistically speaking, that trans women are the most likely people to be brutalized, to be murdered, to be beaten up, to be victims of domestic violence in this country. So if you're telling me that we can potentially save some trans kids from that fate, and the cost is that some girls have to be a little bit uncomfortable in a bathroom out of high school, that is a trade that I'm willing to make him. That is a trade that I think society should be willing them.
I respect everybody's right to live, but I don't want to have this conversation. No more like you.
But you said earlier it is true. I don't care he lost the last election. People you like to listen to them.
All time.
Only, can I just get back to the lodges really quickly, please, just very closely on the law of this. The idea that we can discriminate against trans people but nobody else doesn't make sense legally, right. If we're gonna have a law that treats everybody equal under the law, then we have to treat trans people with the same kind of respect and decency that we treat everybody else. And once you start trying to poke holes in that, you see they're not stopping at trans. They're going right togay, they're going right to all these other things. Right the chapter it says the chapter time, we can't say now, we can't say trans now, we can't say say all these other things.
Right.
So again, from a legal standpoint, a quality.
Drop your trousers.
Just be right here.
We're not uncomfortable at all.
That's we gotta be revolved, right. So yeah, So, just legally speaking, the easiest thing in the law is just to treat everybody.
Gotcha, all right, We got more with Ellie Mistyle when we come back. The author of bad law is the breakfast club. Good Morning Morning, everybody is the DJ Envy Jess hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
We have author of bad law, Ellie Mistyle, joining us ten popular laws that are ruining America, Charlamagne.
Why are people so nonchalantly discussing Trump getting a third term?
Well, here's the thing. He can't constitutionally. But what he can't do and what he can do are two very different things. That's right, Right if you understand that we live in a fascist dictatorship and we do, this is what it feels like. I know that the New York Times hasn't said today fascism started, but like it started, right, this is we are now living in a fascist dictatorship. And so when you tell the fascist dictator, hey, you can't do this legally, ah, I might be right, but he might not care. So if you're asking me about the law, no, there is at the twenty second Amendment is ironclad on this issue. There is no wiggle room. You cannot serve. You cannot be elected president more than twice, doesn't matter if your terms were consecutive or non consecutive. They were very clear at what they wanted to do when they wrote that amendment. It's one of the most clear amendments in the entire Constitution that said Trump is a fascist dictator. My man lost the twenty twenty election and attack the capital and came this close to overturning that election. So who's to say that he can't do it again? Who's to say that he can't be successful in doing it the next time?
Right?
So we can't blithely say that he can't do something just because he's legally prevented from doing something. He's already shown he doesn't actually give a damn about what he's legally prevented from doing. So can I make a case for how he'll do it?
Sure?
I can make. I like to say one of the things that makes me a little bit of a different legal commentator than a lot of others is that I understand what white people are capable of. I've never forgotten love why people are capable of in this country. And if you want to tell me that Trump is going to run for a third term and has a way to win it, I can tell you how he does it. He gets himself because remember, we don't have one federal election system in this country. We have fifty. So all he has to do is get himself on the ballot in red states that are already capitulating to him, enough red states to get to two hundred and seventy votes. The ballot process is controlled by the states, not by the federal government. You can say, well, like, he shouldn't be kicked off the ballot, but he should have been kicked off the ballot last time because he was in violation of the fourteenth Amendment. Whether the Supreme Court do, oh no, we shouldn't decide such things. It should be up to the fourteenth Amendment. He should have been kicked off last time, but the Supreme Court didn't step in. Will they step in next time? I don't know.
So what Al Shopton and everybody's saying is BS that that can't happen. That's I'm true, it can.
No, it's not BS. It can't happen legally. Go But let's not fool ourselves to think that Trump is not willing to act illegally. Right, he can illegally get himself on the ballot. He can illegally get himself to some version of two hundred and seventy votes, and he can illegally declare that he is still the president. And who's gonna check him? Boo ye. Who's going to actually stop him from doing that?
It won't be the Supreme Court.
I love the article you wrote for The Nation called It's impossible to overstate the damn is done by the Supreme Court.
Do you think the Supreme Court would back him in something like that?
I don't know.
Wow.
Not only do I not know that they would back him If they don't, I don't know that he would follow their order. There's been no evidence that Trump is going to follow a Supreme Court order that he doesn't like. And more to the point, there's been absolutely no evidence that he's going to unforce a Supreme Court order on the co President Elon Musk that he doesn't like. So even if the Supreme Court stands up to him, and I'm putting that in air quotes, there's no evidence that he'll actually listen to them. Because he control anything that he controls the physical power of. And I think people really have to understand this in a kind of chest thumping way, like if he physically controls it because he physically controls the army, he physically controls the power Military, he physically controls the secret police. If he physically can control something, he doesn't have to listen to nobody. The legal illegal doesn't actually matter to him if he has physical control. Now, if he only has control because he's got to get other people to do his bidding in the States, in the localities, that's a place where the Supreme Court can kind of step in and maybe show some spine.
Right.
So, if you think about these lawsuits that heads in New York against like Kathy Hockel, if is a situation where like he has to force Kathy Hockle to do something and Kathy Hochel says no, and the Supreme Court says no, Well, then I don't think Trump can't force her to do it unless he's literally willing to put you know, boots on the GW, which he might, but you know, then we'd have some real traffic problems in Fort Lee. But if it's something that he has complete physical control over, I see no evidence of him actually following the Supreme Court order.
Is anything that you feel like this presidency has done good at all?
Was everything bad, not one thing, because there is not one thing that fascism does well. And if I give them that credit, I legitimize all of It's one of the reasons why I was so angry at Schumer's capitulation on the budget deal. If you say that you can work with these people here there and whatever, what you're fundamentally saying is that you just have a little bit of a disagreement on this, that and the other thing. You're not actually fighting fascism. You're just playing normal, bulk partisan politics. Right from my perspective, Trump is a fascist threat to the country. Nothing he do can be it can be okay. And I wanted to say that about other Republicans. I wanted to said that about Mett Romney or John McCain or even w Dick Cheney different, but even w Right. You could find some things that you could work together with those people on because they were fundamentally democratic presidents, I mean democratic with a small D. Right presidents who believed in democracy.
Don't get gay. Oh we can't say gag in New York. New York don't get gay because you say a small D. And he was just thinking of small penuses.
I've got a couple. I said small d and I said bush like in the same.
But you know what.
Was the significance of Corey book. Corey Book is philibus.
One of the things that democrats can do since they have no political power is start building narratives, start start building movements, and start building momentum towards change.
Right.
One of the reasons why I wrote my book. Look, I wrote this before the election, before Joe Biden's first debate. I knew we were in trouble by the time. You know, while I was writing it, I was under no illusions, but I kept writing it, and I kept thinking that this would be a good time to release it, because from my perspective, if we lost this book then becomes my first attempt to write Project twenty twenty nine. Ooh right, it these people are out here writing Project twenty twenty five. When did they start writing that? In twenty twenty one when they had no power, when they had no political power whatsoever, that's when they started their plans for this current magat revolution. So from my perspective, this is the time when we have no power that we need to actually start thinking bigger and start thinking more actively. Right, when Republicans come into office, they come in with a sledgehammer and they smash things, Smash things that I hold dear, smash things that I care about. Right when Democrats come into office, we come in with like super glue and tape and we're going to like put the base back together to make We got to smash some things. My book is about what we can smash. What Corey was doing is that same kind of idea of building momentum to something bigger, and that is the best use of democratic power at this point, because it's the only power that they have. Right, you can't actually stand up to them legally because you have no authority. You can't send smptum in Congress because you have no authority. Now, I think they should be doing more than placards at the State of the Union. That was pathetic doing what Corey Booker did, breaking racist strom Thurman's record on the setup floor, Like, these are the narratives and stories that we can be building now so that by the time we get to twenty twenty six. I'm not even talking about twenty twenty eight. To me get to twenty twenty six primary season, that's the fight. Whether it lasts two years or five years, or ten years or twenty five years is entirely up to us.
Right well, Ellie Mistelle's new book bad Law, ten popular laws that are ruining America.

I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest on you.
The latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
So Drake just got a victory in court and the legal back and forth that he's having right now with Universal Music Group. So yesterday a judge, judge Jeannette Bargaz in New York denied Universal Music Group's requests to stay Discovery. So Universal Music Group was saying, Yo, can you pause on this whole Discovery, letting us let Drake and team get into our business until we explore the motion to dismiss this whole thing that they have have acts. They want it thrown out. They say, his bs, he's just mad because he lost a rat battle. A judge said, well, we're still gonna you know, that motion to dismiss, It's still gonna happen, and they set a date for that. But no, I think that the Discovery thing can happen and should happen, So I'm not gonna say that we're going to stop it.
This's a big deal.
That means that Drake and team can go in and do what they've been saying that they wanted to do for a very long time. They can go in, they can look at the contracts, including things that are in relation to Kendrick Lamar, emails, phone conversations. Basically, just come in and get all in the business of communications and processes and operations.
And all of that stuff, so they'll be able to get Kendrick's contract to UMG, his signing contract and his deals and all that.
That sounds crazy, but they haven't done it yet. They just got the go ahead to be able to move forward. And I don't know specifically which contracts they're asking for, but I think that I don't know why would they need a signing contract?
What are they going to.
Discover that they don't already know though? That machine that the machine puts, you know, a little extra umph behind records that are already moving, just like I'm sure they're doing with no key right now.
Yeah, Well, the truth, what are they gonna find out?
I think what they're trying to go in and find out is like any wrongdoing of the machine making and all that stuff wrong.
If it's wrongdoing, then it's typical record industry practices that have been going on since the beginning of time that people like Drake had benefited from, that people like Kendige benefited from that all of their artists benefit from.
But what if it's not.
What if it's none that's going make you look crazy? Yeah, we talked, they ain't even know foul play, nothing going on.
It's like a baseball player looking for steroids and you're like Oh, it's the same stuff I've been using, whether whether you know you was using it or not.
No.
But to Just's point, we talked about this on the podcast yesterday, The Latest with Lauryna Rosa. I said that if if there's nothing found, he just looks like a cry baby.
It looks like you know what I mean.
But if there is things found, and it can be something small, like it could be one employee that happened to maybe send a uber, send it, get something that can look I.
Mean because there's certain you have certain rules. No, I just mean like there's there's a certain room, a big one.
There are certain rules around like bribery and you know, I'm sure I don't know the rules when it comes to radio, but.
I know, like just not going to be in a contract. And the sad thing about it.
It's not going to be in a contract.
Stupid, but it's not.
But if you look at a judge, does the judge know exactly about the music industry to see what he's giving permission for, like giving giving up Kendrick's contract And I don't know what's in kendrick contract, but giving up how much money he's making and the money that spent. That's nobody's business, but Kendrick and his labeled like why would that want to go to somebody else?
But that's only one part of it.
And I think once we see which contracts they pull and which information they focus on, what we can kind of better understand you know why they did that. Another part of it was, remember they talked about the bots or whatever that they said.
They alleged that Kendrick was a now a Drake, same bots that have been used for all artists all Drake is going to expose his secrets that have helped him to and I don't even know if there's secrets, to be honest with you. Are these secrets just records standard record business practice that I thought it was standard record business.
All this stuff, the bots, to everything we talking about the box don't matter no more because Drake's team yesterday in the court said that they've exchanged some you know, letters back and forth, and they're they're withdrawing those claims.
They're going to focus on other stuff.
They really are trying to think figure out the bigger picture of this is like the money that was put into bigger things, not a few random bodies.
What they're looking for it.
The money that's put into Spotify, that's put in the streaming service, just put in the radio, that's put in the TV.
That's what they're looking that's been putting put in the Drake for the last decade. What are we talking, come on?
Are streaming for farms? Is that they backed away from.
All artists haven't been beneficiary of that because of these labels. Why I can clue to hear people?
Well, Drake's lawyer spoke out yesterday when this was released. There was a short press release and at the bottom he had a one line statement he said, now it's time to see what UMG was so desperately trying to hide.
Now.
I did reach out to UMG for a comment on this and have not heard back yet.
I don't think UMG is trying to hide.
I think UMG doesn't want to have to open the books for this artist is then they have to do it for every of the artists, So they're just trying to protect you MG.
I don't think they have anything that.
Well, maybe Drake needs to see this for his own good because maybe he thinks Tucy Slide really went number one because it was a good record and that record was trash. Maybe he thinks slime you out when number one, because it was a good record and that record was also kowing.
You out when number one. After we talked about it in here, I remember, I.
Don't remember what all I'm simply saying is maybe he needs to see that for his own benefit, because you've been a beneficiary the's performances enhancing drugs as well.
Well you m g at.
Actually they're arguing that the whole discovery evidence gathering process would be premature. It would impose undue burdens on them, especially given the potential that the case could be dismissed. So they're saying, we don't mind it discovery, but just wait, let's have the dismissal conversation first, because which makes sense if it's going to be dismissed. Why we got to put all these resources in time and you need to do all this so we'll see what happens.
Nobody's winning, but the lawyers period.
So you got got got okay, another one? Yeah, so Young Thug.
Yesterday there was a motion filed by the State of Georgia to revoke Young Thug's probation.
Jesus yes, So the motion filed in Fulton County.
A superior court yesterday claimed that Young Thug demonstrated a blatant disregard for the law, the safety of the witnesses, and the integrity of the judicial proceedings because he posted a nine now deleted photo online of one of the Fulton County investigators.
Her name is Marissa Ververe.
So she was testifying this week during the YSL trial and in relation to the remember those the little boys that were shot that we talked about the thirty year little boys, in relation to all that stuff, and the court basically had barred video photos all of that stuff, and Thug posted the photo. He called her the biggest liar in the DA's office. And she's saying that because of that, she's received threats, her family has received threats. There's people flooding her comments, there's a ton of basically like she feels like she's in danger because of that. So they're saying this presents a clear and present danger to public safety and it's at the hands of young Thub, which is should be a violation of his probation. Now, Thug came out because he deleted all these tweets when he came out and said, I don't make threats to people.
I'm a good person.
I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participating in any of the above.
I'm all about peace and love.
The Doug gotta be careful.
I don't even know why he's tweeting about stuff.
Yes, he tweeted about the young schools probation. Fifteen years probation. They will do everything in their power to try to lock him back up. He has to be very, very careful.
Why do why do people care about social media so much? What is your lower of social media? Because even if you're thinking that in your head, why run to X or whatever the post that Like, there's got to be something in you that says that's just not a smart thing to do.
Now, not when he has fifteen years probation and they will try anything to lock it. Wait, yeah, yeah I don't.
I would be so scared to even I wouldn't even.
I don't even walk by the court if I'm the like across the street, don't even take me in the vicinity.
Don't got no reason to be mentioned in them people publicly at all.
Yeah, Well, we'll have to see what happens with this because if they do determine this was a violation or there was it better or whatever, there can be consequences.
So Jesus, you know they are already mad that he got away. Yes for the most part.
I mean even though they got him on the probation for the next fifteen years, but the most part he got away.
They are waiting for him to bring him back. Yes, absolutely, And if he.
Messes up the sentence that was stayed, remember they take some of the time away. Yeah, twenty Yeah, he could potentially have to do that as a very slippery.
When line makes no sense, You stupid, that is crazy. Yeah, all right, Well, thank you for the latest with Lauren. Yes, give donkey, you know for after the hour. I have an update on a donkey that I did earlier this week. Remember Chris lewis the brother from Augusta, Georgia who was arrested for a deprivation of a minor after he left his kids unattended at McDonald's.
I don't remember that one.
Yeah, we have, we haven't.
We have an update more of a double down, actually a double down, a double down on the he and.
He was very craft of this man.
I said he deserved shut.
Up from the information that I got.
Yeah, that's why y'all got to shut up.
You give it and go fund me.
Donkey, No, we'll get to it's the breakfast club. Good morning, you're checking out the breakfast club.
How you came up with them?
Don't bear the name tell us because you're mean.
Today.
There's a bunch of donkeys street.
That is why, Charlemagne, Cause we live a life where we might our tongue based off who he may a thing.
We never would say it.
On the breakfast club in the words of Charlemagne, to god, he's a donkey.
Aw Man, Charlemagne, you've given donkey the day to.
Who now well buster rhymes donkey to day for Thursday, April third is a double down to a donkey that I did earlier this week. Chris lewis the twenty four year old brother from Augusta, Georgia, who was arrested for deprivation of a minor after he left his kids three kids ages ten to six and one years old at McDonald's unattended because he had a job interview. Can I refresh your memory, Let's go to Fox when he said Houston for the report police.
A job interview ends badly for a man in Georgia. Chris Lewis was arrested March twenty second. Police say he left his kids in a McDonald's by themselves while he went to an interview for a job. He reportedly told police he did not have a car and lived nearby. Lewis said instead of making his three kids, who are one, six and ten years old, walk home alone, he decided to make them stay in the restaurant. What we know is he was there from fourth the kids were there from four point thirty. He returned at six eighteen, and then the mother was on the way as well. But we don't know if she was called by police or him after the fact, or if she was on the way anyway.
Now let's talk.
I gave him donkey today for one simple reason, you know, jeopardize your child safety in the pursuit of employment, because there's no job on this planet that would make up for something happening to your child in that McDonald's. It's that simple salute to the good sister Tony Rivera dropping the clues band for Tony Rivera.
You know she's always out here providing.
You know, human trafficking awareness and she told me it's so much trafficking going on in Atlanta and the Georgia area. She said, black kids are going for a high rate right now. She said, seventy five grand and up. Okay, and you're just gonna leave your three beautiful black babies ten, six and one to fend for themselves in a fast food restaurant for.
An hour and a half.
Times may be hard, but they gonna be even harder if God forbid something tragic had happened to those kids.
Now, y'all called up to this radio station.
Y'all was all in the comments, telling me, I forgot where I came from, as if I ever came from a place when my parents was leaving me unattended at a fast food restaurant.
I see people.
Starting gofundmes for the young man Antonio Brown, as this morning has raised almost eighty thousand grand for him.
Okay.
The post on the gofund me says story called me by surprise, a dad just trying to find a way to make money for his family. I know he shouldn't just leave his kids, but some people don't have the means for babysitting, et cetera. This gofund me a certain place to help this man. I have spoken with gofund me and they will get the funds to Chris and his family. Haven't spoken to Chris yet, but I hope to do so soon. You haven't spoken to Chris, but you're organizing to raise money for him. Why you don't want to vet the brother and make sure the story is what he says it is because to me, and I said just yesterday, the story wasn't adding up. I wasn't trying to cast doubt on the brother's story even though his story sounded like it had bacterial vaginosius.
Okay, well whatever, it just sounded fishy, okay.
I was just pointing out the fact that a job, our job, and if you shouldn't come before the safety of your kids, okay. A man's job is to protect and provide, and protect comes before provision. For a reason, to me, when I heard the story, it didn't make sense. These kids were left alone for an hour and a half. What job interview last that long? And witnesses said they kept seeing Chris walk back and forth.
What job interview?
Lets you just keep walking back and forth? Oh, Charlemagne, you don't have no empathy. Charlem Mane, You're speaking from a place of privilege. No, I'm speaking from a place of common sense, and common sense ain't that common in this modern era. So today we have an update from the same outlet that I got the story from, the Augusta Press. The Richmond County Authorities released a full report Wednesday with more details and based on the video evidence and the timeline provided by all parties involved, it was determined that Chris Lewis was not I repeat, was not engaged and a job interview our application process during the time the children were left unattended. He was not really looking for a job while the children were at McDonald's. Can I give you some details from the police report and the noted inconsistencies Captain Danny Whitehead noted in regards to the whereabouts of Chris while his children were left attended.
Okay, let's start with the ten year old. You know the kid's gonna tell it, Okay.
She told offices that her siblings and her father walked to McDonald's from the Hendricks apartment complex. She said her daddy told her he had to deliver a backpack to the apartment complex and told her he would return shortly. The child also mentioned that her father, Chris, frequently leaves them alone. Two witnesses said they recalled hearing Chris on the phone with someone and he was overheard saying he needed to drop something off. The witnesses stated that after this, the father left McDonald's, leaving the children behind for approximately an hour and a half. The ten year old daughter contacted her mother on social media at approximately six pm.
The mother arrived at McDonald's at six twelve pm.
She advised that Chris was supposed to deliver a backpack to her mother at the Hendrick's apartments and had been told that he must take the children with him. The kid's mother immediately called Chris, who answered and stated that he was on the way back to McDonald's from the apartment complex. Chris arrived at six eighteen pm, still in possession of the backpack, and he told his child's mother that he had been trying to find her to give her the backpack, and the children's mother reminded him that he was not supposed to leave the children unattended. Don't go refunding your money from gofund me now to the rest now, Chris claimed he left the kids at McDonald's because he went to fill out a job application at the West Bank End, which is located adjacent to the McDonald's, and he was waiting for a callback for a possible interview. He said he left to drop the backpack off at the apartment complex, but during the time he lost his ID and he lost another card and he had been retracing his steps trying to find them.
Oh, you can fill the niggotree in this story rising. So Captain Whitehead went to the West Bank End to verify Chris's story.
He spoke to the manager and she confirmed that Chris did come in on March twenty second, and he did complete a job application. She also conducted an informal interview with him on that date. When asked if Chris would be expecting a callback for a formal interview, she said no. The manager provided video surveillance footage of when Chris was there. Guess what the times were?
What were the times?
One twelve pm to one thirty seven pm. The kids were left on attended at McDonald's from four the six twelve pm. So, as I said before, based on the video evidence and the timeline provided by all parties, involved, Chris was not engaged and the job interview when he left the kids at McDonald's. Furthermore, by his own admission, he was walking between McDonald's in the apartment complex, you know, during that period, and the distance between the two locations is zero point four miles. Now, don't let any of that distract you from the fact that, regardless of what Chris was doing during this time, you don't jeopardize your child safety in the pursuit of employment.
Are anything else because there is no job.
Are anything else you could be doing that would make up for something happening to your child when you leave them unattended for an hour and a half in a public place.
I'm just doubling down on donkey today. You can discuss amongst yourselves. Please let re me Ma give Chris Lewis the biggest he.
Huh hee ha he ha, You stupid mother? Are you dumb thoughts? I knew it, I knew it and everybody's fear.
I don't think the brothers should get you know, he shouldn't lock him up, slap him on the wrist and let him go because he was trying to do so. He was out here serving scrambled cook and smack you.
Walking back and forth and all of that into it day care, like, what's wrong with you?
See, you can't change the gold post. Charlamagnet moved the goals war, and you can't change it either. See Charlemagne reported exactly what happened, and that's what we made a decision based off what he said. Now, if Charlemagne didn't give the right information a couple of days ago, because a couple of days ago Charlamagne said this man was doing a job again, went to a job application or did he not say that? Now changed it based on what you You're not going to distract You're not going to distract me.
I get what did I just finished saying, because you know my don't listen. I said, don't let any of that distract you from the fact that, regardless of what Chris was doing during this time, you don't jeopardize your child's safety and the pursuit of employment or anything else. I gave him donkey of the day for leaving the kids unattended at a McDonald's for an hour and a half.
I don't give a damn what he was doing, agreed, I said, I agree, he should get donkey of the day. But if he was actually going to a job interview, it was not doing no fish.
I didn't think he was doing.
You don't leave your children unattended, And I said, after child's mom said, the child's mom said, just you don't leave your kids unattended an hour and a half, and.
I said, that's why I gave him. I just didn't feel he should have got arrested if he was really getting.
Itself accountable for not reading Nigga Tree the right way.
And then.
I did.
And also I spotted it.
I smelled the nigga tree a long time aday.
When you said your baby daddy would do something.
Like that, I never said that in my life, never ever ever the kids with a random girl that he didn't know for three days. But he's not gonna leave his kids in a public place, and let alone a McDonald's.
That's crazy to leave him the long for a random girl for three days.
It's crazy, absolutely, But it beats leaving them in a fast food restaurant.
It's about to say, yeah, it is kind of.
McDonald's might be Yeah, McDonald's might be worse because at least you've got somebody watching the kid. You don't know what the kid the person might do to the kids, because but you at least somebody's watching them and just leaving them on attended McDonald's a hour and a half.
That's crazy.
It's crazy.
And the little ten year old baby girl, she said, my dad.
Do this all the time, Like I already knew what that was. She getting tired of being a parent at McDonald's.
All right, once once again, you don't jeopardize your child's safety and the pursuit of employment. Are anything else, There's no reason to leave your ten year old, six year old and one year old unattended at the damn McDonald's for hour and a half.
Up next, just fix my mess. Eight hundred and five eight five one oh five one.

We are the breakfast Club. It's time for just fix my mess Hello. Who's this?
Oh?
Hi?
Yes, this is a LISTA call up?
What's for Jersey? What's your question for Jess?
Okay, So, my my daughter's father, me and him became kind of like best friends. Like he became more like an older brother than me than more like a baby father. Like I mean, like even open. He basically has an open invitation, so all of my family functions, like he don't even have to be invited, like you know, he could show up, no problems whatever. So me and we usus sit or talking on the phone all the time, Like I would tell him what's going on in my life. He would tell me what's going on with his life. I had three other kids.
That's not his.
I would talk you know about my kids about like like nothing. So one day I'm going through my daughter's phone because she's a teenager. I periodically checked my kid's phone, right, and I see messages from he has a whole girlfriend that I knew nothing about. And I see messages from this girl sexting my daughter saying how much she missed her, how much he loved my daughter. So at that point, like I feel disrespected because I'm like, I thought we was like ooh, you know, I thought we were friends. Like I thought we had a good co pairing relationship, like you know, So why is it that we just put on the phone to talk for hours? But she's so comfortable enough to tell me that, you know what I'm saying, you had a female and not only that, like you was leaving my daughter around her. Now I'm not mad about that because my daughter is a she's a teenager. She can open her mouth and she can say whatever she want to say. But as her mom, I feel like I deserve the right to know where my kid gonna be at. Well, she's not at my presence, especially since he lives eight hours away from me.
Okay, I totally understand.
All right now, you set them out full and I'm going to just tagle this part because I can sympathize with you. You with that because me and my son's dad are the same way. You know, we call each other brother and sister.
We're cool.
He's invited to all of my family functions, as I'm invited to his I treat his kids with the same respect I treat my kids with, Like we're.
All, we all intermingle. Everything is cool right now now.
If Rome didn't tell me that he had a girlfriend, I would not be that upset because I understand what you're saying. You feel more so betrayed by your friend that he didn't come to you with this information because y'all talk about everything else.
You feel like, why the hell you couldn't tell me that she was in a relationship with up?
But but you shouldn't be that angry about it, and listen, are there any feelings there for him? Or like any like be honest, like, is there any chance that y'all whatever, reconcile enough to be back together?
Is that do you have that you still got a little crush on your baby?
Day? I'm gonna talking about like you like him in the slightest way, like, is there is there anything there?
So this is what I will let Yeah, we.
Were we weren't together in a whole other state, and well broke up. I just packed up and left and I came back home. So I feel like there's a lot of things in our relationships that didn't actually get closer.
And you never Yeah, so you never you never got that closure because you just up and left, y'all all right, never exactly, Yeah, y'all never.
Talked about anything.
You never Okay, So yes, there is still some type of feelings there and then you and now you kind of resent him a little bit because now he has this girlfriend and things, and and you feel like, yo, you didn't even really we didn't really even fully.
Close our chapter.
And that's probably honestly why he didn't tell you about her, because he feel the same way you feel, right, Okay, Yeah, you gotta still like kind of understand his point of view too, Like I don't want to tell I don't want to ruin me and my baby mama's relationship. We were great, although we didn't end like the greatest this week. We didn't give any other. We didn't give each other any clarification on like what we were doing, you know, the end all be all of it. We never like fully said goodbye to right well or whatever. He probably feel the same way you feel, but he's eight hours away. What do you expect for him to do? And I know you got a little some something going on with somebody else too, right.
So right, so so don't.
Yeah, no, no, no, I'm just saying I would have never disrespected him and given some gen's daughter's phone number without him even knowing that this guy existed, because you basically gave this woman like full access to my child even when she's not down there with y'all. You get what I'm saying.
How old is your daughter?
She's she's thirteen now.
Okay, And so she didn't she didn't tell you about the lady either. You just had to go through the phone and find out.
Yeah, I have I happen to be going through her phone.
Yeah.
Yeah, again, I feel like it's a conversation. I feel like both of y'all still have unresolved issues and unresolved feelings, and y'all just need to meet it. Ain't this ain't no phone conversation. Y'all need to see each other, and you need to tell him exactly how you feel. And I guarantee you that's gonna open the door for him to tell you exactly how he feels. And y'all, I guarantee you y'all probably feel the same way. Okay, Yeah, but let me know, call back up next Thursday.
Do it before next Thursday.
So I can know, Okay, I will all right girl, thank you, all right.
Mama, all right, just fix my mess. Eight hundred and five eight five one o five one call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, It's the real feel help me. Oh my god, I'm all up in your mess.
I'm gonna fix it, mix it, fixed it, fixed it, Just gonna fix your mess because my advice is real.
Warning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamage to god, we are the breakfast Club in the middle of just fix my mess. We got Bob on alarm, Bob, what's up?
Hey, I'm you Bob is now that's just we know that. Hey, but look look, I'm I'm gonna safe it really because Charlamagne are real. Dude, is Charlamage probably gonna come down of my so look, you know, well my child's good friend krobably gonna hit this. But yes, I got a question because I feel some type of when I feel like I should have have a conversation with my friend on this. But uh so we have a mentor, uh of somebody who's been in our lives for like at least ten fifteen years, like you know what I'm saying, kind of have been helping us out with advice and things like that.
Uh.
And it's four of us that all grew up you know what I'm saying kind of under his mentorship. I'm the youngest out of the four, the oldest person.
Uh.
That's who I have a question about, because I want to talk more about this, Like I want to approach about it because I feel like I feel like what he did was wrong. So he basically takes our mentor's wife and was like, Hey, your friends are some h o es. I feel like I feel like that's kind of out of pocket because, like the dude, you know what I'm saying, no matter what we've all been through, do they never looked at us different. He's always us, I would our family's like, it's like kind of like to me, it's like disrespecting your elth and like the fact that you even text the dude who was like, hey, your wife mad at you? Yet, Like, to me, it's out of pocket because if I feel like if either one of us would have text your wife that you get them saying you want to fight it, and you know him, out of all people, he's not gonna necessarily physically do anything to you. He may not talk to you for us. Yeah, he may praise for you, you know what I say, heybody gonna star our prayers for you more. But there's nothing else he's gonna do.
And you know that.
And I just feel like, bro, that's wow, man like way way so way, okay, let's back it up. So one of your friends texted y'all's mentor and told him that his wife or text the mentor's wife.
He texted the mentor's wife and said, Hey, your friends are some.
Ho e how do he get the mentor's wife's number.
We all have we, like I said, we've all they've been married for at least ten years. We've all known them for at least fifteen. Okay, okay, so we're all like like we're like family, you know what I'm saying?
Right, And I guess y'all were hanging around her friends and they showed.
Me we've never we've never hung around my friends. It ain't never like that we've always hung around him.
We don't.
This is this is why the would have texted her that, because we don't hang around her. We don't hang around her friends, you know, like we're all grown in adults now, we don't hang around him like we're not kids, right, I.
Don't understand why the text even went to the wife. I'm just try understanding. Yeah, so what so your question to me is like what you should do about this or what?
Because like I really want to come from him, Like, bro, like why him? The hell would you do that?
Man?
Like, because if somebody would did that to your wife, I'm not a lie if you would have if I'm not married, you know what I'm saying. But if I was married, or if you would have to text that to the person I'm with by her friends, like yeah, bro, we're gonna have words.
Man.
I'm like, yeah, but look, you ever think about this though?
And it's wrong.
It's definitely wrong.
And and since you can't figure out exactly why he would text her that when y'all ain't hanging around his friends, when y'all haven't hung around his wife's friends, either he's just lying, he's a delusional as dude, or he knows something that y'all don't know because he had actually did get to hang around like that.
No, noah, see, look, this is the thing.
We're in two different angels they're they're like, if we're all in our thirties, so we don't hang around.
You know what, your friend might be doing some hanging without y'all, y'all.
He might like the old chicks man and they might get down with the get down and he wanted to just like.
No, it ain't look all right. So here's I get. I hate to bring wasting to this, okay, but even more the dynamic they're a white couple, we're all black.
Oh okay, so that oh.
There, people kiss your face like they go to church every Sunday, like they are like the idea, like you know what I'm saying, what the other side would do as a couple successful, you know.
What I'm saying.
So that's why I'm like, bro, no, like it just doesn't make sense. And like you text out, you text our mentors like hey your wife, man, did you get like bro?
What so yeah he texted the wife and then text the mentor. Yeah so yeah yeah, as a me talk to your homie.
I'm saying, if we should if we all holding each other accountable, because I ain't lie. I've done some that stuff stuff and they've all heard me accountable for it.
Yeah, I like definitely, like, let's holding your account like, bro, that's fall Like I'm not gonna lie like I said, if you would have done that, bro, I can't say what with everything on the radio, but yeah, we definitely have words.
Yeah, no for sure. Okay, So no, that's just if that's what it is. I think you should hit your homie. Y'all all grew up together. You should be able to have that conversation with him and figure out exactly what happened. And I bet you you better call back next Thursday, because I bet you're gonna tell you something that you didn't even know.

I bet you hey say them what I got you ill keep you posting, all right?
Thank you?
All right?
With the mentor's wife being wholes though.
That's what I'm saying, and no mentor's wife's.
Friends white friends being old.
I don't know why that's so hard to believe that he probably cracked one of them and they you know what I mean, And he texted.
The wife like, Yo, your friend's hos, you know what I mean.
With a bunch of white fifty some of your old holes.
Man, you're all supposed to be slinging big peep and getting paid her Karens and Becky's cut a check.
Damn thing an old white woman gonna love is a young black man. So I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a a young black paintings. And I don't think a fantasy type thing, right his homeboy, Yeah, it's like a whole fetish like what.
Doctor Umbar wouldn't approve.
But shoot, you know right, and.
This this dude do not believe that, Like he's underestimating his homeboy.
Now, I do think it's corny for the dude to text that.
And they're gonna text the mentor like, is your wife man that you like?
Yo?
You obviously ain't never had no white poem pome ever.
And you ain't paid for it, probb not. Dude's always asking where the hoes act? They what your mentor's wife.

So we want to take some time to send a congratulation to USC sophomore guard Juju Walking. Yes, so she was named the winner of the twenty twenty five Natesmith Women's College Basketball.
Player of the Year Awards.
Well deserved yesterday.
Yes, for sure, I think you know, the past couple of months or you know what I mean, it's been a lot with her and her injury and her season ending last.
Couple of weeks.
Yeah, it really hurts something, Jude, you go down because they would have definitely, in my humble opinion, been in the final four. I think they would think to beat Yukon and they'd be in the final four right now.
Yeah, Well, although that happened.
You know, this is historic because she is now the first USC player to win the Women's College Player of the Year awards since the legendary Lisa Leslie in nineteen ninety four. So you know, it's unfortunate, you know that her season ended the way it did. But I'm sure she's really excited about this because she posted it and says she is so grateful.
So congratulations to her.
Yeah, man.
And in other news, Friday the movie, I know that I think it was Mike Epps. He was up here and he talked about it happening. But now Variety just announced that ice Cube has closed a deal for this to happen. Not just announced, but Variety announced that ice Cube has closed a deal for Friday to happen at Warner Brothers in New Line. So he's reached a deal to write and start in the new Friday movie for Warner Brothers in New Line Cinema. The new feature, which is titled Last Friday, will mark the fourth entry in the comedy series and then the first in over twenty years, following up after Friday at the next in from two thousand and two. So ice Cube has been you know, open by his plans to make another Friday movie, though his agreement with Warner to start and direct marks a significant development in the project.
So congratulations ice Cube, and it's happening.

Just I don't remember the third Friday though, do y'all? I don't know remember played the club.
One?
Yeah, you can see a little storyline reminder.
That's because the first and second one is like, well, the first one is untouchable, the second one was cool, and you know the third one. The third one is always like Okay, the third one could have been the TV show could have been Yeah, it didn't have to be a movie.
Yeah.
How many episodes did that TV show have been?
Like?
Two?
Maybe four thirty minutes a piece? Three Yeah, something like that.
Okay, But it didn't seem like a continuation of Friday because if you watch the first one, yeah, and the third one, it's like, damn, yeah, I got you.
Well, I'm just happy to see what was happening because I know for a while he was complaining that he couldn't get the support from like the studios and stuff.
That is the last one.
Chris Tucker got Yes, she gotta be you gotta have all the world's combined to Chris Talk of the Day. But then everybody so John Wierspoon last, Bernie mac no longer.
Even though Bernie Mack he was the preacher or like his his part was real quick. They could still make it without like some of the ex but I feel like some of the X they need, like devo John, you.
Know what I mean?
Happened his family? We didn't even see his family to last two moves. Craig Mom, what Craigs?
What happened?

Okay, like they need you.
That woman is seventy two years old. That just last is really seventy around here?
What I so?
Yeah?
That's all we got?
All right?
Cool?
So look scenario right, So now you know I always give you two men to choose from, but I want to know what you would do in this situation.
You're still trying to find my man.
Absolutely, I told her about to talk about it.
Not passing until she lands a man. We're not going to be past it.
Okay, you don't want me to be happy first, it's like, I kind of.
Want you to be here a little bit, but just clearly still continue, I.
Want you to be here.
Don't do that, stupid my god.
Listen, all right, cool, I ain't gonna be the one reporting, so you got to be here, so listen, all right. You're dating this guy for six months, y'all, six months, and he moved you in. Of course he would you and everything you met, his family and all.
He's successful.
Now y'all are out one night, right, and on your way out of the restaurant, a bisexual guy comes up to your man and he says, oh, this is what we be doing now listen and walks away. That's all he said. And your man didn't really give a response. He just kind of brushed it off, like oh whatever, come on. He grabs your hand and y'all get in the car. The first thing you do is immediately asks what the hell was that about? And he tells you that that guy from years ago, what's his assistant? He was once his assistant, and he didn't like how he was terminated once the company went under, and he's just upset and that's the first time he's seen him in years.
What do you do?
Do you believe that, do you do more digging or do you just automatically throw him in the boat with the guy?
He's in the boat and I'm definitely gonna dig. First of all, I'm not walking out the restaurant.
Where you turning?
Now?
He got to have a conference call. This is a press conference. Now, I need to understand what you mean. Okay, So what would you have said to the guy? Because your lord La rolls and one thing you do is reach out. So the thing is reach out until you're gonna reach out to the guy.
Let's hold hands and agree that. I need to have a real conversation of what did you mean by that? What do you mean this is what we're doing now? What was y'all relationship? What was the I'm confused because it's given me that y'all used to deal with each other, and I didn't know that that.
Was a past thing.
If but the guy, his disposition, you know, your man is like this is great, Like I don't even I ain't even got time for this carry.
The guy switches off, like, Okay, this is so sad.
You know, I don't care what my man is giving because one thing they're gonna do is downplaying one thing I'm gonna do get to the bottom.
Okay, okay, And what if you've got your man phone later and saw that he texts the gay guy.
First of all, she's trans.
That's about her.
Now, I'm not even asking questions. I'm out like, yeah, I can't get it. I don't want to.
Anybody is sad first, you know what, because because she can't even get a man, you're trying to just make up a fake man for her and she can't even get that right.
Oh my god, that is so bad.
I said nothing wrong.
This is a scenario that I'm creating just before we go to break. You know what happened. Gil was felt so bad. GI was like, I think I found somebody for.
Lauren.
Oh no, she even getting cross all week.
It was a white guy and Lauren turned him down. You turned off somebody white? Yes, okay, we got you. So you you want the melanated Kings, but would be proud, but now she's again all right, Well, the people.
