Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Jess. Hilarious. Good morning, Charlamagne. The guy. Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday. Good morning. Good morning. How y'all feel out there, man? Feeling good. I feel blessed. Black and highly favored. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. Okay, hair, you know, how many bundles is that? You know, first of all, I don't know. I get my wigs made. That's what you did yesterday? Got your hair done. No, no, no, no. It's the wig. I just, you know, this is Shelly. I just put her. That's her name. Took out the bag and. Yeah. Got her to Gavin. Put her right on. Yo. I listened to day one's day 26 album. Yeah, it's all right. Really? It is really, really good. It's a lot of, like, potential hits on there. Okay, well, they're gonna be joining us this morning because. Yeah, they have, like, four singles or whatever, but, like, a lot of other songs have potential to be hit singles on there. Okay. Crazy. I like it. They don't got no machine behind them, though, who they signed to right now. They're independent. Independent. Yeah, they are independent. Yeah. So that means radio is not gonna play them unless we do. We can do it this morning. They'll be here this morning. Yeah. Radio didn't play them before, though, so. They didn't. Not really. I don't remember. I know they listen. I mean, I remember the TV show. So, I mean, I. You know, like. Yeah, people sleep on that. The band era of Bad Boy from between. Between the band Danity Kane and Day 26. That MTV making the band era was a real part of Bad Boy's legacy, and it was. But the sad thing about it, nobody ever talks about that part of the legacy. And I don't ever think people really took them serious outside of TV talent. Correct. Well, I know. I think a lot of people talk about that part of the legacy. They just don't connect it with the legacy of Bad Boy. You know what I mean? Like, when you talk about Bad Boy and you talk about the biggies and the bases, you don't think of Faith Evans. That's right. You don't think. You never talk about that. That era was a hell of an error from Bad Boy. Yeah, absolutely. Well, day 26 is gonna be joining us this morning. They have a new album, like Jess said. It's called Day Ones. They're actually going to be performing in New York tonight. They're celebrating their 17th year anniversary. That's why you got Shelly out. That's why you got the wig out. Because I got tired of them braids. Don't play with me. Whatever you want to go see Mikey? I'm definitely. Thank you. All that. Yeah. What's up? They still look good there. We're gonna be chopping it up with them a little bit. And we got front page news. Sad, sad, sad news. It's been all over the news. Oh, my God. Lord have mercy. Plane crash in D.C. i'm sure Morgan will break it down. I got so many questions, man. I. I just assumed. There's so many radars and there's so many ways to detect if there's other flying objects or flying crafts in the sky and what. What the hell happening? We'll talk to Morgan when we come back. All right? So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. And all these holes can fight. Morning, everybody. Every time I hear Glorilla say that line, I want to see. I want to see if all them hoes she would can fight for real. I just want to see it the way she said. She just know. Take it down. I want to see it. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get into front page news. All right. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning, Envy, Charlemagne and Jess. Yes, we're dealing with breaking news out of Washington D.C. or the. The Washington D.C. area, or as we call it here, the DMV. American Eagle Flight 5342 was making its final descent into Reagan Washington National Airport when it collided with a Circuit Sirkovsky H60 Black Hawk helicopter around 8:30pm last night. 64 souls were on board the flight, including a crew of four. And there were three souls aboard the Blackhawk helicopter. Now reports say the plane broke into two pieces and dropped into about 7ft of water into the Potomac river while the helicopter was upside down in the water. Of course, search and rescue efforts continue throughout the night. Let's take a listen to air traffic control. When the incident occurred, America 472 was 3del32. Sir, I don't know if you caught earlier what happened, but there was a collision on the approach. We're going to be shutting down operation for the indefinite future. If you want to go back to the gate. Yeah, we, we witnessed the whole thing. Fire command. The accident happened in the river. Both the helicopter and the plane crashed in the river east of the approach end of Runway 33. It was a CRJ and a helicopter that hit. Jesus Christ. Yeah. That flight was inbound from Wichita, Kansas when the accident occurred. And it says to that US Figure skaters, a group of US Athletes were and coaches were aboard that flight. We don't have too much information about the victims or their status or their condition at this moment, but that's pretty much what we have in terms of who was aboard that flight. Did you say seven feet of water, Morgan? Yes, seven feet of water. And also keep in mind that the conditions were extremely icy. It was dark out there and very cold. So the search and rescue missions were, you know, they were dealing with some pretty choppy conditions. D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser led a press conference last night, which Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who has only been on the job less than two days, as he's dealing with this situation, officials joined them and first responders from the surrounding area in the DMV and Kansas also joined them where the flight was coming in from. So let's take a listen to some of Those comments from D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Our fire department, D.C. fire and EMS, supported by fire departments and police departments from across the Washington metropolitan region, are executing a rescue operation in the Potomac River. I spoke with President Trump and his team in the Situation Room, had a conversation with Secretary Pete Hegseth as well, and then with the Kansas delegation and the mayor and others in leadership, as well as Governor Youngkin from Virginia and Governor Kelly from Kansas. From the Department of Transportation and FAA's perspective, we are going to offer full support to those on the ground, to the mayor, but also to the ntsb. Prayers up for every single soul that was on that flight. I don't care what their race was, their gender, their sexuality, political party, you know, 18 bodies were recovered so far. May God be pleased with all of them. Yes, yes, absolutely. So the ntsb, of course, stands for the National Transportation Safety Board. Authorities in Kansas say they're devastated by the news. Of course. Remember, that is where the flight came from. Senator Jerry Morin joined the presser in D.C. and spoke about the personal impacts that this will have for people from Kansas. Let's hear more from him. It is certainly true that in Kansas and in Wichita in particular, we're going to know people who are on this flight, know their family members, know somebody. So this is a very personal circumstance. I've talked to ntsb, I've talked to the White House, I've talked to the Department of Defense, and I've talked to the CEO of American Airlines and there is all of us pulling together for the best outcome possible. That's so sad. I doubt they know how this happened yet, right, Morgan? No, they do not. As of right now, there was some air traffic control back and forth a little bit that they were talking about, basically saying that maybe the Blackhawk helicopter pilots or those who are in the helicopter when they ask, hey, do you see that plane? There was someone on air traffic control asking, do you see that plane? That they may have saw another plane that was taking off and not the one that was near them or above them. Donald Trump or President Donald Trump was briefed and on this situation, he has been fully briefed on the situation and he posted to Truth Social saying the airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It was a clear night. The lights on the plane were blazing. Why didn't the helicopter go up or down or turn? Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter to do what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane? This is a situation that, this is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. Not good. And not just. Do they know if the people in the Blackhawk Parish too, or. They don't know. We don't know. Yeah. But I will tell you this. You know, we all, we all, everybody got a resource in D.C. everybody knows somebody that knows somebody. So I do have a friend who actually flies Blackhawk helicopters. And I'm just, you know, of course I reached out to be like, hey, you okay over there? And basically his explanation was that he wish he, he was flying for one, because he's saying that this just couldn't, this is weird that it happened and there are protocols in place. So the only thing that he could imagine is that the helicopter was being stored at Boland Air Force Place, which is very close to Reagan Airport. And that's pretty much the perspective that he provided me. So they don't have radars, because that's the first thing I would think, like those military helicopters would have all types of radar and, and all types of devices to make sure that there's nothing in their vicinity. You know what I mean? They do, they do have, they do have radar, but unfortunately the visibility supposedly is not, you know. Well, the visibility is what it is. There are certain areas and certain blind spots, whether you're flying a plane or you're flying a Blackhawk. At least this is the information that I've gathered over the last few hours regarding this situation. So flights in the area. Flights. Right. Flights in the area have been diverted to other airports, and Reagan national will remain closed at least until 11:00am this morning. Wow. All right, well, thank you, Morgan. Appreciate it. Of course. And again, sending out healing elegy and praying for all the families and everybody involved. Just so disgusting. So horrible to wake up this morning, man. Yeah. All right, we'll see you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051 is the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne. Izzy, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, a outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now. He'll tell you what it is. We live. Hello? Who's this? This Ben, man. How y'all doing? What's up, brother?

I called a couple weeks ago, and I was complaining about my girl and her dogs in the dog hair, right? Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay, now fast forward a couple weeks later. Her mama here for a couple weeks. Yeah. God. All right, let me start off by saying this. Me and my mother in law, we cool. We icy. That's my girl. I love her to death. Okay? Best grandma, everything. But there's a butt coming. Yeah, of course. But me up in the fallout. Wow, she is letting these dogs run all around the house. Them dogs gonna be the death of you, bro. You're gonna let them dogs get you all the way up? No, I'm gonna be a death of them dogs. They ain't gonna kill me. They gonna get up out of here. Damn. Yo, I come home from work, soon as I touch my dope, who meet me at the door? The dog. The dog. The dog. I go in the house, first thing I see is, you know, you got a little. The little tray table, whatever, you know, you pull out for the kids to eat on this stuff? Yeah, it's here all over the table. I'm looking around. Now. This is my mother. Now, I can't say nothing to her. So I'm calling this event, y'all. I'm talking to y'all just like I'm gonna say to y'all. But I want to say, hey, lady about to send you back to Puerto Rico. Because me and you cool, but you let me down. My old lady already told you I don't like this. Like, listen, we cool. I love you. But put these. Got the dogs where they supposed to be at in there behind the little doggy gate. And don't let them come out until I say so. Let them go in the backyard. You boy, and you ain't never coming back. Are they Chihuahuas? No, man, it's a American pit and they gotta stay. You might as well just be at one with the dog, man. You might as well just cuddle the dog, pet the dog, and let the dog be your best friend, bro. At this point, yeah, you can always tell your mother in law that ice on the way, she'd be like, look, man, they not playing. They knocking on doors. They knocking on. They don't know the difference. They said something. They knocking on doors. You know what I'm saying, Ice? People don't know the difference. They knocking on doors. Tell her just for her own safety, she might need to just go back to Puerto Rico before she get mixed up. I ain't even finna play with that lady talking about ice with her. She don't even like to see Trump on tv. Damn. All right, Ben. Well, good luck, brother. Y'all have a good one, man. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk. I hate the way everything with me is best. Call up next. 800-585-1051. Not just me, I'm with the culture feeling. Hello? Who's this? Hey, this is Corey. Hey, Corey. Good morning. Get it off your chest, Corey. All right. So I'm not sure y'all remember me calling. I called about Queen Latifah, like, not too long ago. Yes, we remember. Did you find some information? No. You were supposed to find it. I know. I tried. Well, for people that don't know, Corey's a flight attendant. He called before and he from Baltimore and he from Bmore. Him and Jess is cool. Thank you. So the situation with the flight attendant. Situation. That flight that happened, it shook the whole industry. I wanted to call in, just be like, my heart go out to the whole family of everybody that was on that flight. It also got to the crew that was on that flight. Because we are going to have to deal with something else tomorrow. Now that this happened, is going to restructure everything. What are y'all gonna have to deal with? My brother, what we're gonna have to deal with is, like, once something happened, the whole industry changes. And the thing is, they train us to deal with certain stuff, but they don't train us to deal with that. Yeah, I can imagine. Yeah. I mean, because, you know, the last time. The last time a commercial flight crashed in the US was like, 2009, out of that flight that left from Newark, I believe. So it's just like, I mean, what are y'all supposed to do in a situation like this? Yeah. I was gonna say, what do you change? Because everything was right, but helicopter. So, I mean, what could y'all possibly change? And it was a military helicopter. It seemed like they were. They were on an exercise or something. So the crazy thing is, the one that happened in 2009 with U S Airways, when they landed on the Hudson, we trained to deal with that. Right? You know, I mean, if we. We trained to. Once that plane land, whether it's in water or on land, if you alive when it happens, you gotta kick into gear and start saving people. But they didn't have no chance. And that's where everything changed. Yeah, that's not even the one I'm talking about. I'm talking about the one that. That left from Newark and it crashed into a house in Buffalo. They said a plane stalled and then it crashed into a house. That was a major plane as well. I thought it was an airline, a commercial flight. I don't think that. I don't know if that was a commercial flight. I gotta look. I don't remember. Yeah, well, we appreciate. We appreciate all the flight attendants, man, because it's a tough job when something happens. They have to think, you know, everybody else first and then themselves last. So, you know, we appreciate you guys. Yeah, it was. It was Colgan Air, my brother. It was. It was a. It was Colgan Air leaving from Newark to. To Buffalo. Yeah. Honestly. Killed 49 people. Yeah. I never heard of Kogan. Yeah. Killed 49 people. A man on the ground. But thank you for calling in, brother. Oh, yeah. I want to say. Yeah, no. Shout out to all the flight attendants, all the pilots, even the passengers, when y'all get on that flight. Y'all listen to that safety demo because we're not there to play. No, I mean, play no games. Absolutely. Thank you. You know what's crazy, though, when you think about it? What could a safety demo do for you in that situation? A Blackhawk helicopter cuts that plane in half. Like, what do you. What is the safety demo supposed to do? I done seen a million safety demos. I ain't never seen that. Nah, they never did. They can't explain or teach that one, but it's just very sad, man. Yeah. Cause they teach you how to. How, I guess, the maneuver in case of a crash. Crash or not. Emergency landing. Yeah, but not a midair crash. You don't think that you're gonna run into another, you know, aerial vehicle when you're on a plane. Yeah, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up now. We got just with the mess coming up, what we talking about? Yes. Wendy Williams got rid of that attorney, so it should be something going on there. Okay. All right. We'll break that down when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Gamora. Morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the message on the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shooter. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off. Okay, so Lauren. We got Lauren Laros here to break down what that means. That Wendy fired this attorney because this should be a step toward her freedom. Right? 100. So there's an attorney. Her name is Linda Ricky. She's actually Wendy's attorney, appointed through the guardian or the conservatorship. So. Appointed from the court. So what's already a no go, like? Well, I mean, when you're pointed through the guardianship. If conservatorships work well, though, they can be good. She's just not in a good situation. But if they work well, they're supposed to, like, make sure that, like, you know, if you're in a place where you do need help with certain things, not even just decision making, but just, like, financial support, legal support, whatever you have people. You know what I mean? But if the guardianship is not, like, you know what I'm saying? If they're not even doing what Wendy wants him to do. Yeah, right now, they'd be the ones appointing the attorney. How could she even trust that it's appointed by the court. So in the beginning, she didn't know, you know what I mean? Like, they all were appointed by the court. And the conservative was supported by, I think it was like Wells Fargo, but so Lindy's. Lindy. Linda's role was to basically advocate for Wendy whatever her best interests were. Right. So I was told that Wendy Williams terminated her attorney because Wendy was demanding that the attorney, Linda, request a trial by jury as she's having this conservatorship conversation, trying to be released from the guardianship and the attorney decline and request that. So for those. Are you. For those of you guys who are like, well, why, like, why is that a big deal when you're going into court for anything, conservatorship, whatever the case may be, if you have a jury, you have more people that are able to hear you, see you, feel you, and help you make the decision versus just a judge. Right, Right. So if Wendy is feeling like that's what she wants and that's what she asked for, I don't see why it would be an issue. Now, I did reach out to Linda Rutliski. I haven't heard back. I don't know what, you know, her thinking is as an attorney and why she would say, say no. But she said no and she got the ax. Okay. Yeah. So. And then also, this shows that Wendy is making decisions for herself. Yeah. 100. Yeah, she's. Wendy is making big, big, big girl decisions, as she should, and she's. She's doing what makes the most sense for her. Right. But I think that this is, this is a good sign, though, because it means that people are not, like, fighting against. Because sometimes you have attorneys that'll be like, no, I'm not getting off this case. I need to be here. And that's a whole nother issue. But, but. And she's still fighting just to be able to go see her father next month for his 94th birthday. They still haven't settled that, right? Yeah, they haven't given her the word on that yet. And that's it. That's an easy yes or no. And what about her cats? The cats are gone, right? She said, well, Wendy said the cats are gone. I don't have an update on the cats. So. We don't have an update. No, I can get you an update on the cats. So is the attorney fighting to stay on the case or the fact that she fired an attorney's, like, from what I'm throwing my hands up, I'm out. From what I'm told, Linda Ratliski has been fired. I have not heard back from her to hear her side of it, though. But my source told me that Wendy fired her. So that sounds like it is done. It's null and void. I wonder, would she accept the firing? Can you. I mean, I don't know how that works. That's what I'm asking. That's what I was saying. Like, did she fight it? I don't know the process of it. Because the court appointed it. Yeah, I don't know the process of it, but because the court appointed it, if she felt like this decision was being made and Wendy wasn't competent enough to make the decision, I'm sure she could push back. But I don't know because I haven't spoken to her yet and because, like, in a conservatorship, a lot of this stuff is protected. So it's like, even if these things come out in filings, it's like to be pretty hard to see. Wendy's stuff is sealed. So. Yeah, go ahead. Yesterday, ASAP went to court and everybody's, you know, happy to see Rihanna, But I'm tripping off of how R said he wasn't a snitch. I don't know what he did then if he didn't snitch. Yeah. So people were stripping off of seeing Rihanna, but you couldn't even see Rihanna. So when she did come to court yesterday, as news broke prior to that, she was going to be there, but when she got in court, she was seated right behind her man. So she was seated right in the front row next to his mom, his sister, right behind the defense. But there were videographers and there were photographers in the court who were instructed not to shoot the audience, which they were instructed to do that even before Rihanna came in there. So you didn't. You didn't see her, but she was there. And yesterday in court, they talked to rally just about, you know, the impact of this case on his life. And he does talk about the whole snitching thing. Let's take a listen to him in court. You talked about in general, the consequences that you feared that would come to your. Your career in the music business. Remember that? Yes. Have you, since this incident suffered any actual consequences to your career? Oh, of course. I mean, it's been a living hell. Death threats, people living with snitch saying something that happened. My social media, everything that I'm doing as far as social media, I don't have a presence there no more. Hey, it's Mike and Ian. We're the hosts of how to do everything from NPR's wait, wait, don't Tell Me Me. Each week we take your questions and find someone much smarter than us to answer them.

When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a Playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.

You said you were working in the music industry, managing. And then, like, my artists, my artists turned on me. My producers, they all turned on me because of this decision I made. They felt like, okay, this is gonna be like, I can't back them up no more. I can't support them with what I'm doing. Going to the police. They didn't want nothing to do with me no more. Yeah, you'd be snitching. I don't think he's snitching. I don't think he's snitching. Why? Because he's a. He got shot and he's telling people who allegedly shot him. Is he a street dude? I don't know him. I don't. Is he a street dude? I don't know, but that's just what it is. I mean, we're gonna call a spade a spade. I mean, yeah, he's somebody stand doing it, though. Yeah. Oh, no, I'm absolutely snitching. Even if nobody. That's what I'm saying. I'm gonna call that snitching. But like you said, I. I don't know if he's a street dude. I don't know their relationship. But we civilians, I'm a law abiding taxpayer citizen. Okay, Somebody. If somebody allegedly shoots me or shoots at me, I'm absolutely telling. Giving a full description. Got to say, allegedly. If someone shoots you. 911, what's your emergency? Him. Well, really, they actually had this conversation outside the court. Really wanted a paparazzi that was outside the court. Let's take a listen to that. Hey, R. Some. Some people call you a snitch. What you say about that? Snitch? Any comment on that? Would you be a snitch if somebody shout out to you? Nah, I don't never snitch. Oh, shut up. Yes, you would. I. I got a bullet in my leg right now and I didn't snitch. I didn't snitch, though. It sound like I just need to come get him. I bet she start telling this. He start telling on everybody when I come. Bad enough, you going to start telling on somebody else. The fact that he asked the. The guy, all right, would you snitch if something happened? He. You. He. He's saying, yeah, yeah, I snitched. So what? I mean, my friend could have killed me, basically. So, yeah, I, I said something. I'm just saying stand on it. Don't say I ain't snitch. I. No, you did. I mean, it is what it is. I'm telling you, as you should. I am a see something, say something ass. You hear me? But, but does he have. He has two warrants in Jersey. I read that yesterday. Right. Did he have two outstanding warrants? Yeah, it's like a traffic warrant. Is he street, Lauren? Like, is he snitching? I don't know. Snitch? Oh, God, no. That's a report that I read on the news. Yeah, I, I don't know. I don't know enough about him to know if he's a street guy or not. Honestly, I prefer not to know too much about that. I think, I think what he said made perfect sense to me. If somebody shot at you, allegedly or shot you, wouldn't you tell? That's just common sense to me. But hey, I'm not in the street, so it depends. Like, if we fighting and we both street dudes, then you can't. But if, if you're a civilian. Absolutely. All day, say, see something, say something. The. In Jersey, just to mention it's. It's warrants for driving without a license and careless driving. Oh, that's not fun. Yeah, it's nothing. But I think it's just coming up because now he's on the scene and stuff like that. Until my appointment, I was like, people don't want to know what Rihanna was wearing. They were tweeting the court reporters, like, what is she wearing? What is she wearing? Because you couldn't see her. She didn't walk in the court, though. They didn't catch her walking in the court. She wore orange, Orange jumpsuit. No. She had on even a video of. Well, you have video of asap. Or riding. And you don't. I don't know. You don't see her. I didn't see her. You know why? Black shirt and glasses? Because it's not important that she's there. Her husband could be going to jail. Rihanna for a long time. Listen, hush, this is not a j. No, Lauren. No, no, no. Just listen, just please hush. This is not a Taylor Swift football game situation. I'm with you. I'm not worried. Y'all don't remember when Cardi was pulling up to the court and they was talking about the outfit? No, I don't remember. Cuz she was on child. No, she was on child. Outfits always matter. But she was on child always matter. Y'all can't wait till you catch a body. I catch a body. Let's see. And let's see. Are you gonna be worrying about if you get it? Well, no. Have no significant other coming. She not gonna be worried about. You better hope you don't catch nothing because I'm telling everything. You ain't gonna tell before I do. And I'm coming looking fly. You ain't God. Nobody care about being there. Yo, this man ready to go to jail. I don't think he's going to jail either, y'all. I hope not. I hope he's not. Maybe he is. I don't know, but I hope he's not. 24 years is a long time. I kind of feel like I wish he would have took that deal. But hey, maybe they know something we don't. Y'know what she was wearing in court? That's what they know. Thank you, Lauren. Thank you. Jesus Christ. All right, when we come back, we got front page news and then day 26 will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Where are we going now? We are talking about this federal aid freeze that is still in full effect despite there being a resendence of the memo. Anyway, anyways. Good morning, y'all. So the White House says President Trump's executive order freezing federal aid funding remains in full effect. This comes after earlier yesterday the White House rescinded the memo issued about the freeze in a post on ex White House Press secretary Caroline Levitt said it's simply a recension of the OMB memo to end any confusion created by the court's injunction. The order was temporarily paused by a federal judge on Tuesday In a memo, the Office of Management and Budget said the order that that paused all activities connected to the disbursement of federal financial assistance has been rescinded. Trump spoke about that order at the White House on Wednesday. Let's hear those comments from him. There was a short term pause or funding freeze on certain discretionary spend spending payments such as government grants, only for us to quickly look at the scams, dishonesty, waste and abuse that's taken place in our government for too long. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid have not been affected by any action we're taking in any way, shape or form. We are merely looking at parts of the big bureaucracy where there has been tremendous waste and fraud and abuse. So New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, she responded to the freeze against with President Trump's federal funding freeze on federal grants and loans. Now, the senator says that several stakeholders are at risk of disrupted services if funding is lost, which includes money for education, along with local police and fire departments. Let's hear from New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. They literally do not have the authority to do this. This is against the Constitution. It is unconstitutional and it is illegal. It is a massive power grab and we're going to fight back on behalf of our constituents, who are the ones who are going to suffer, literally a takeover of an entire arm of the federal government. It is not Trump's responsibility to allocate and decide where money is spent. That is Congress's sole purview. They do not have the power of the purse. Congress does. I just want y'all to know that Trump's whole presidency is going to be a constitutional crisis. And you know this freeze happened without vetting by key officials in the White House. House. He's never going to go through the proper checks and balances ever. And it's going to come to a point where the Constitution and I said this yesterday when Ashley was here. The Constitution is going to mean as much as this paper that I'm holding in my hand. All right, well, moving on. President Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. He was on Capitol Hill this week for confirmation hearings. Robert f. Kevin Kennedy Jr. He's pushing back against claims that he wants to ban certain foods as well as vaccines. He says he isn't anti vaccine vaccine. He's pro safety. Kennedy was interrupted at least twice by protesters as he spoke and received criticism from Democrats and others on his views on vaccines. He spoke about President Trump's love for McDonald's. Let's hear more from RFK Jr. In his confirmation hearing. I support the measles vaccine. I support the polio vaccine. If you like a cheeseburger, a McDonald's cheeseburger, Diet Coke, which my boss loves, you should be able to get them. If you want to eat Hostess Twinkies, you should be able to do that. But you should know what the impacts are. So I agree with that. It's just like, you know, if you smoke cigarettes, they have the warnings on the cigarette box, right? It should be the same thing. Like, you know, whatever you put into your body, you should know the risk. So at least you know the choice that you're making. So RFK Jr. Went on to say the United States has the worst healthcare than any other developed nation, yet with we spend more on health care. He will also take part in a hearing with the Senate Health, Education, labor and Pensions Committee today. So yeah, you know, that's what's happening and that's what's going on. And switching gears of the Federal Reserve is leaving interest rates unchanged for now. It comes after Fed cut rates three times last year. It also marks the first time policy decision, the first policy decision during the President Trump's second term. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell he spoke about the announcement and here's what he had to say. Right now we, we don't see that and we see things as in a really good place for policy and for the economy. And so we feel like we don't need to be in a hurry to, to make any adjustments. The public should be confident that we will continue to do our work as we always have, focusing on using our tools to achieve our goals and really keeping our heads down and doing our work well. President Trump has said he recently he would like to see the central bank lower rates and bringing things home to New York. The Department of Justice is reportedly considering dropping the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The There are multiple reports that DOJ discussions have been taking place on the future of a five count federal indictment faced by Adams accuses him of briberies, taking or accepting bribes from Turkey in the form of luxury travel. Adams has pled not guilty with a trial set for April 21st. President Trump has said the mayor is being treated unfairly and he he has considered him for a pardon. The mayor has spent time with Trump in recent weeks both at Mar a Lago and at his inauguration. New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Senator Chuck Schumer. They're also reacting to the plane crash that happened in D.C. in a post on X Mayor Adams says he has been briefed about the matter and offered his condolences for all those aboard American Airlines Flight 5342. Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer echoed his sentiments, saying his heart goes out to everyone who was impacted by the horrific incident. And he says he's praying for everyone aboard on board, their families, and for the brave first responders as they continue to monitor the situation. Of course, I will continue to monitor that situation as it is close to home for me, and I will keep bringing all of that, that news back to you guys. But, you know, you know, Mayor Adams has been on a partial leaf, and that's been, that's been fueling all type of rumors. I was even told that he's considering resignation. I don't, I don't know if I necessarily believe that, but that's what, that's what they're, that's what they're throwing out there. Just because he's been on partial leave. You know, when you go on partial leave, everybody starts, you know, wondering why you're not there. Yeah, they said he was possibly sick, but, you know, the way they throwing out these pardons is crazy to me. It's just like you get a pardon and you get a part and you get a part, and it's just like nobody takes nothing serious anymore. Do you think it's possible that Mayor Adams could be setting up for maybe working with the Trump administration? I mean, he's already going to be working with the Trump administration. He's the mayor of the biggest city in America. I mean, more along the Cabinet. Cabinet? Yeah, I think so. I think so. Oh, maybe. I mean, that could make sense. I mean, maybe. Yeah. When you, when you hear about, you know, these things like, oh, he's resigning, you'd be like, well, why would he resign? Maybe. Maybe if he's going to work at the Trump administration, that, that's, that would make sense. That's another little conspiracy theory you just threw out there, Morgan. That's right. I like that one. Gotta stay close to the man in my pardon. You. Yep. Yeah. So that's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan Media.

Now, when we come back, Jess was talking about Day 26's new album, Day One. She said she likes the album. Do I like it? I like a few songs off there. Okay. And we're gonna talk. You've always loved day 26, right? Yeah, I have always liked them. Name. What's your favorite record? What you mean, like, of all time or just from this in general? I was thinking. First album was a classic. Oh, word. Yeah. Okay, so what's the name of it? Day 26, when we come back. Don't go anywhere. Is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. They got a new album out right now called Day Ones. Ladies and gentlemen, day 26. Yo, yo, what's up? What's up? Good to be here, man. Bless. Good, good, good, good. How y'all brothers doing, man? Y'all ain't come up here just to talk about Diddy, did you? That's what a lot of former bad boy artists are doing now. Okay, new album, day one. There you go. What's kept y'all together all of these years? Just as a collector, I would say, like, the grind that you saw making the band of us even being created as a group, like, that was serious. Like, we really walked to get cheesecake. We really stood outside in the cold and put our all into this. So we take that serious everywhere we go, you know? And none of y'all never thought about, like, just walking home, like, you know, what names on. But I can tell y'all really, really wanted it. But, like, nobody ever said, like, tell the truth. None of y'all. But through the years, group members fell off and came back and things of that nature. So we had, you know, we had the. The heels and the valleys of groups, but at the same time, I think the passion behind us and the thing that we really trying to accomplish out here is what keeps us going. I mean, we really like to be in front of the fans. We like to, you know, just create the new music and be in front of them all the time. I don't remember him making y'all walk for cheesecake. I remember the band. I don't remember. We did worse than the band. They only had to go to. They only had to go to Brooklyn. Brooklyn. We had to walk off all the. Go to all across the George Washington Bridge. I swear, I don't remember that. Yeah, yeah. It was crazy. It was bull. Never should have happened. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think that that show really was trying to set y'all up for success, or was it just for tv? I think it was more honestly, that show was kind of in my opinion. This is my opinion. Tv. Tv. It was tv. You know what I'm saying? It definitely wasn't set up for the artist to. To succeed after. Definitely wasn't. He know what he doing. It was only by the grace of God that, like, we were able to still maintain and still be here to. And still do music. And not just do music, but do, like, still do amazing music. Y'all hear that? No, not yet. No. Yes. Come on. Y'all like R and B, though, right? Yes. Real R and B. I'm telling you. Yes, I am here. I'm going to listen. You have to today. Hey, thank you. Yes. I've heard some records, and I heard one in the bathroom just now when I walked in the bathroom. Somebody was playing it in the stall. Somebody was playing a new album, and they was in the stall. He was talking. He's like, I need some music while I'm in here. So. But you said. You said that you feel like TV was made for you guys not to succeed. Why? Why do you feel that way? I mean, just. Just the way the whole thing was, like, set up, like, even from the contract, you know, I'm saying the way it was structured when the cameras were gone, it was like, huh. All right, guys. It was nice knowing you. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, we had it really. We had to really go in and fight for our next deal. Like we wasn't already signed, you know, I'm saying we literally had to have people like B. Cox and that really cared about us and what's. What's his name that we. It took people like that to go to the label, like, what are y'all doing, bro? Y'all got the hottest army be grouping the world here, and y'all won't do nothing with them, you know? And so that's what it took for us to even get in the door to do another project. They wasn't worried about us like that, though. It was for what it was for tv. They looked at it for tv. They thought about it for it like that. But you got people who've been grinding their whole life at certain things. Yeah. It wasn't just a start at a TV show, exactly. It was things that, you know, I was 10 years in writing, stuff like that. Right. I was signed to Wyclef at the time when I made the man. And I was at Music World, you know, with Beyonce's father for years. So we was already in the game. It was created to. To make it look like he gave us like, put us. We learned everything we knew from this situation. Everything. But. But it wasn't true. We was vets in the game. We had to get bought out of our contract. Some of us took the bs. Why would y'all do some of the things. Cause if. If y'all were already in the industry, right? I understand for people that was. This was their first time signing, and. And why would y'all do some of the things that they made y'all do if y'all were there? Like, you were signed. You were signed before y'all were already. Your foot was in the door. Why would y'all do some of the stuff that I feel was like. I don't wanna say degrading, but a little degrading. Like, walk five boroughs across the George Washington Bridge, go get cheesecake, like. And y'all know it wasn't part of the industry. That was just part of the show, right? I think at that point, it's just, you know, you got your foot in, but you ain't all the way where you want to go, and you see somebody who's a musical mogul and who can possibly take this thing and take it somewhere else, so you be like, all right, cool, I'll go and take that chance. I think that was more of a chance. And we just took it. You know what I mean? And then for some of us, like me, I always wanted to be shine to Bad Boy. So that was a big thing for me. Like, no matter the deals that I had before that or the deal I was currently in, that's a position that I always wanted to be in. I didn't know what it was before I got into it, but that's where I. When I moved to the United States, Bad Boy was the first R and B hip hop that I even knew or heard of. So it had that kind of influence. And when you got that kind of influence on somebody, especially at a young age, you know what I'm saying? So it's like going after something that you've been going after all your life, and it being right there, you might do some things that you wouldn't normally do. I wonder, did people take y'all serious? Because y'all had talent. That was obvious. And there was also the antics of the TV show. And I always think about that one scene where y'all was singing y'all ass off and Diddy was like, yeah, but y'all gotta get naked. So, like, that tone that when it. When it wasn't perfect, but it was naked, you know, I'M not saying to do all your joints like that, but when it's real, it don't really matter. I rather get the emotion. So y'all gotta get naked. You know what I'm saying? What? It's a million things that Diddy say at that time that now we didn't age well. We went back to watch the Cook clip, and you forget how hard y'all was singing what? And how good. How good they sounded. You just remember the naked part. But I'm like, yo, they actually sounded really, really. And ain't nobody singing like that now. Like, that's what also makes it so viral, too. Like, y'all wasn't in no studio. It wasn't no nothing. No touches on y'all voice, nothing. Y'all were really singing like boys. Them in Jenna told y'all to get naked. Even know what? Your face was so funny when he said. Was so funny when he said it. I got that clip the other day. I didn't get it, but, I mean, I'm thinking he was meaning, like, you know what I'm saying? You gotta be vulnerable while singing at that time. But it aged wrong. I interpret. It's just not aging well. Let's just put it. Especially with the new allegations or whatever things are. But did that make people take y'all less serious? Definitely. We. We had a hard time breaking into radio because people really thought it was just a gimmick for tv. And we had the number one album in the country and couldn't get radio played because it couldn't get radio played because people was literally like, oh, we ain't think y'all need that. Like, y'all from. You know what I'm saying? And it was crazy because people really didn't give us the chance far as musically because of it. They was like, yo, y'all coming to places and people coming to see y'all, and y'all selling things out. But y'all didn't have a. Y'all don't have a record that was pushing. It was. It was more from the TV success. Yeah, that DJs. And nobody would really give us that full play. Like, yo, nah, it's real dope stuff, you know, but we just wasn't getting it just because of the TV show and what they thought we already had. You know what I mean? All right, we got more with day 26 when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess, Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy we are The Breakfast Club, we're still kicking it with day 26. Now, what happened to your Bad, Bad Boy deal? Because you were still, like you said, still having number one records and everything. So why did it just. So Diddy went through some stuff, I guess, with your joint venture between Atlantic and Bad Boy and whatever they went through at the time. Atlantic took us from Bad Boy. Okay, so Atlanta kept y'all and. Yeah, exactly. And we weren't able to move forward, whatever that situation was with Bad Boy because we had to stay with Atlantic. And when y'all with Atlantic, did they believe like they should have gone? They believed and we worked. And then Brian decided to, you know, do some things that made us lose the situation. Because, look, I'm tell y'all, we like to tell the truth. Y'all like to fabricate a whole lot, man. I'm going to be real with y'all, man. Like, look, Brian is the bad guy, and I'm cool with that. You know what I'm saying? If stuff ain't right to me, man, I'mma point it out. And I'mma point it out. I'mma point it out. And if nothing is being done about it, I'm just going to remove myself from that situation. So what happened, Brian? Man, I had to step away because it just wasn't. What wasn't right. Wreck just, you know, just some. Some business. You should have warned the crew, bro. No, that's not. That's not necessarily true. I. I did not leave. We was on a radio promo. Hold on. No, no, no, no. See, y'all. See, y'all said. Now clear the record. Okay, allow me to talk. No, basically, man, like, I wasn't exactly pleased with the management at the time. And I just said. Sent a letter of direction to the company. I basically, like, let them know, hey, I had new management. So if there's any business as far as day 26 is concerned, please direct any business as far as Brian is concerned to this person, which is Michael Moose. And I don't know what happened after that. From my understanding. Solo artist on A1 records. That's what I saw. No, no, no, no. I got a solo deal. Deal with. With at the time, E1. But I wasn't. I wasn't. I was still going to be a member of the group. I just got a deal as a solo artist. There's nothing wrong with that. Tell the rest of the group. Did you tell the label that you just not show up? Knew I was working? We didn't know. We found that out. See the thing is, see, Q had already left the group, so we had went down to four by the time we was with Atlantic, so it was already four of us. He already. I just wanted different. He already had did something different. Different. So they wasn't gonna go through it again with him doing it. He was pulling the same exact thing. He pulled, like, the same letter, everything. He wrote it. But Q told y'all. Very transparent. He started tripping. Yeah. Different vehicles and everything. Just because I wasn't messing with management. Exactly. See, the same thing. Same thing. I got my own management. So. Yeah, that's why Diddy should have never told y'all. Y'all was better than Jod. A promo tour. Y do a radio tour, he just don't show up. We. We dropped. We had dropped the record Made Love Lately, which is our first single without Q. We was in the video, you know, getting busy and everything. We was getting ready to go on our radio promo. Radio. Radio promo, too. It was number one most added at the time. Before you continue, let me finish. Okay, go ahead. And then, like, I think we supposed to. We supposed to leave on, like, that Monday to start in Detroit. No, in Ohio. Columbus, Ohio. Boom. He got it. And they remember. Yeah. Cause it was real. I had my backs packed. That's how I'm like, damn, my back. And they like, yeah, y'all, y'all, y'all. You sitting down? Yeah. Atlantic just dropped y'all just like that. I'mma tell you why Atlantic ended up signing tgt, and it was a situation where they're pretty much the same type of group. Not really. No. Not at all, man. It was all you. It was all you, Brian. It was nothing about. There's a lot of false equivalencies happening in this room. Just admit it. At the time, we. You was going through some things, and you. You did. No, I. I wanted different management. But that's what happens when it's a group like, you feel me. Because you can't make decision because you making decisions for yourself. But the whole time, it's four other people to, you know, fend for and to make an account. And when they bring somebody like a TGT in, they going to say, all right, we giving all. Especially back. Then we gonna give all our resources, these more established artists who had made it individual. And that's exactly what happened. But obviously, they want to put it off on me. So. You know what, guys? I'll take that. No bow. So who called Brian after? Because I know one of y'all called him like, my we couldn't talk to him. Long time. I was. That was our. At the time. That was everything. Our bag. We was back in after we thought the label wasn't paying attention. We done went to Atlanta and recorded this bomb album and we just ready to kick the door in in a way that wasn't for making the band, you know, for people can take us serious when we was finally in that position. Fight, Brian. Don't let them do you like this. No, don't let them fight for your. Fight for your credibility. I'll tell you this. Why would I shoot a music video? Why would I go to 106 and park and premiere the. The. The. The video with guys and everything and not plan on being a member? Because you didn't know what your actions was going to lead to, bro. You just did something. So basically I'm supposed to just sit around. Next question. Intentional. You didn't mean to do. It happened. I just wanted my business handled, bro. Are you the youngest? You the baby. The eldest. Are you the what? Oldest. Oh my God. Why did you leave? What was what? Why did I leave? Why did you leave initially? Well, if you watch making the band for like the last season, you saw that I was like tripping about management. I remember that business. So that's why when we went to Atlantic, I was like, like, oh, he's still involved. No, who? The manager at the time. Okay. Who was the manager? I don't remember. Yeah. Now you want to be the oldest. I wanted to ask Robert, because you said something earlier. You said that Diddy didn't really know what he was doing, which is shocking cuz, you know, of all the success he's had with R and B groups, like before y'all, it was the Jody season. It was the 112. What. What you mean when he said you didn't know what he was doing? Well, I just think it was more. More. I think it was more divine. I think God had more to do with it. I believe he knows good talent. He know how to put it together. I just don't think he thought he was putting together this. That five. Well, I mean that all these years later, whether he's involved or not, no matter how much we've been kicked down or that we still gonna overcome, you know, from. From these five different places in the world that already put a big wedge between us to be able to be successful, be able to get rehearsals in and stuff like that. So I just don't think he really knew. I don't think he was really in Control. That's just my. My spiritual opinion. Right. You know, I think that. You know what? I hate you guys? I hate a passionate person that doesn't have a good work ethic. And I think we're all passionate and have great work ethic, and I think that keep us together, too. Yeah, don't have a good work ethic? Is that what you're saying? No, I think he meant as far as other groups and people that can't keep it together and things like artists got you. Sometimes they have the passion, but they don't know how to put the work in behind it. They don't want to get up early in the morning or. I don't know, they just don't want to put the work in behind it. When. When Brian left the group, well, you didn't even have the option, but did you think about replacing him? We know our fans wouldn't have that. Yeah, that's what we felt. We just felt like with them watching us grow on TV and come together, it had just been hard to be like, yeah, and here's this new guy. Yeah, he ain't getting no cheesecake. I feel like that's. Hey, it's Mike and Ian. We're the hosts of how to do everything from NPR's wait, wait, don't tell me.

We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop. Wow. Very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a Playboy model, lingerie topless. I said, yes, please, because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to the bunny trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Lot of other groups tried it and it failed, but no addition. Did great with it. When they put Johnny in. Yeah, but that's Johnny G added somebody. They didn't lose nobody to to add him. They just added an addition to. They didn't, like, get rid of one of the people stuff. We watched a lot of other groups like, yeah, yeah, that worked for them, too. But the difference is, go back to the point, like, all of y'all are vocalists. You can do that in Destiny's Child, cuz. No disrespect, though, you know, they. They were. Latoya Lucky can sing, but latoya could sing. But they weren't. They weren't considered the lead singers. Yeah. Let's get into a record. What y'all want to hear? Over you. New single over you. Yeah. Off our new album, let's get it on right now. This the Breakfast Club. Good morning, day 26. They are in the building now, Charlemagne, I do want to talk to y'all about when. I know when the Bad Boy reunion tour happened, y'all weren't there. But then y'all did y'all y'all own thing. Did they even invite y'all? Yeah. Yep. Yes, we did. They didn't invite you, bro. We got invited. Everybody hates Brian. Brian it on the radio and said something to Puff. And then what you said to Puff, man, I just basically was like, yo, like, I just find it kind of weird that you got all this baby oil. I don't know anything about that, but I just said back to back pause. No, like, I absolutely know nothing about that. I just felt like it was weird that, like, yo, you. You got a whole Bad Boy tour come, like, going on, done. Like, it wasn't like, in the beginning stages or talks or anything like that. Nobody reached out to us before to anything. I felt like we played a huge part. Okay, hold on. Let him get it. He didn't know transparency, bro. He had us on, like, certain dates. Like, a week later, Brian did an interview and saying, you know, we need to be on there. I don't know why we're not on there. And then he took that off. Yeah, yeah. He was like, who the. I'm telling you, Rpier called me personally, was like, hey, man, tell your boy Brian to shut up. You know what I'm saying? I'm like. I'm like, well, he's like, we already got your on tour, but Puff don't want to put y'all on there no more cuz he heard him. Cuz he heard what he said or whatever like that. Shut up, man. Say hello to the back guy. I do got to ask a question, though. We heard a guy say that. Did he like to record in the shower, like, in his bathroom? He set up equipment. Have y'all ever. Have y'all ever recorded in the shower? In the bathroom? Hell to the no. Nothing about. I just want to say to be very transparent with y'all, like, I've been through so much trauma with this guy, man, and the whole situation, and I just want to say I think he needs a lot of prayer and he needs mental health. Like, the things that we can relate to, you know? Absolutely. I think that's what's going to save him or help him. Nothing else. I don't think we should talk about him. I don't think we should make fun of him. It's like, real sick. That's. If you don't mind me asking you. You don't got to answer. How did he. How did he traumatize you personally? I can't talk about it right now, but you'll find out soon. You had trauma from that dude way before any of these allegations. Right. So when you got to do interviews and you know these questions are going to come up, does it trigger things? And it used to. In my documents that I have for my mental health, I have his name mentioned in there. But it used to traumatize me a lot to where everybody thought something was really wrong with me. Yeah. Stuff. But I just don't blame him. I blame people around him, too, because they ain't innocent either or either clothes. They're like, this is what I want. Right. But a lot of times they don't know how that happened, you know? Yeah. So when you hear the Aubrey old days and the, you know, the D. Woods talking, how did that make y'all feel? I mean, for me, I just seen. And I. I really didn't know. You know what I'm saying? For us to be so close with them and experience so much with them. Yeah. To not know that they was experiencing those kind of things, that kind of. That was weird to me because I had literally never heard nothing like that about any of them while we were there. They never. They never disclosed those kind of things with us and the sad thing with men. But y'all knew your brother was going through something, though. No. No. So when. When he ended up coming back to the group, that's when we started to understand things was different. Yeah. And seeing a different walk and understanding. I went to sing background for Dirty Money. Right. He was on stage with him on the news that time. I was like. I was looking at the news like, why is my group members singing backgrounds? Yeah. So he stuck around a little bit longer inside of that formula versus us leaving and doing the Atlantic thing and trying to figure that out. So when he got back, we did notice different things or whatever. But, I mean, he's a lot better right now. Yeah. I'm glad you a lot better. Q. I was gonna say things are changing because when Men deal with things. It's usually funny at first, Right. No matter what it is. Like, you know, I'm not putting your stuff out there, but Charlamagne talks about a time when he was a kid that something happened to him. And the first reaction when he tells that story, people laugh. Laugh, Right. I couldn't believe story about you and Clue when Clue first taught you how to dj. I laugh about that too. There's nothing there. Or the picture of you sitting on. On Wendy Williams lap Clue teaching you how to DJ because he came up behind you. Now, this was a good segue to ask you all about freak offs. You ever been to any hell? No, sir. Okay. No, sir. No. I'm gonna be honest to a couple, but never walked up. We were blessed to be warned about a lot of the stuff. Yes. Before we at. Before we were ever an opportunity off camera to be involved in it. So we already knew what not to do. Where, you know, whatever the case may be. I don't know what was exactly going on in those things, but we were definitely warned not. Not to go. Yeah. I think a lot of people. Oh, man. Just a little birdie from the show, right? From Bad Boy. A couple of actors told us a dancer. Wow. It was like, hey, man, stay away from the red door. Told us to stay away from the red door. So that's kind of a big thing. Yeah. And my last question, okay, so y'all got this album out now. Will y'all be touring? Okay. And the. Did he recoup anything from. So y'all are no more. Not tied to. Did we talk about like our publishing? Well, he still got our publishing from those albums he got on there. And he can give it to us now, you know, you know, make the calls or whatever we do. All the other money they sold. How much you think right now his kids got all that money on our publishing. They say his kid's name and his mama. No. Every time I see every. I be like, man, so the pub is in his kids and mom. But that time when he said I was giving all my artists back there publishing we wouldn't want, he sat right here and said it. We did that. He gave everybody back. Yeah, he probably did some. But then I. I was talking to Aubrey during the time and she was telling me a lot of thing. I guess she had got off of the situation and she was saying how it wasn't worth it anyway. Right. She got. Aubrey O'Day got 33. Yeah. How much you think is old out of everything? Because I know you Guys figured it out with accountants and all that. How much? You know what? The thing is, even off the show alone, they made millions of dollars. Yeah. It had to be like, you know, 70 to 100. It was. It was just. It was a lot of money. We just. I mean, I don't know the exact number. 15 million. Yeah, we just. It's. Damn. 15 million. Correct. It made 14 million. That's what I'm talking. It made. So when did he change the publisher? Because it wasn't in his kid's name at first, right? No, it was always. That was from the jump. From the jump. It was in his. So he already knew it. Which, you mean, I get it. He a father and he got kids, cuz. But at the same time, I'm a father and I got kids. And now we want to, you know, be able to do for our children the same way. You know what I mean? Yeah. So give me my money. That's all I care about with the whole Diddy thing, man. I just want my money, bro. I just want my money. I want what I'm worth. The albums that we sold and the way I should be living. And I don't want to see your kids rolling around in the car better than mine. I mean, that's just off of my music, off of my stuff. Stuff. You know what I'm saying? That's just weird. How do you even have that conversation and justify that with somebody? So Day Ones, he gets nothing from Day One. Not at all. Which is available right now, all streaming platforms. Shout out to Mirin and the exclusives, man, they put this album together. Amir, that's my cousin, he back there. And I think the biggest thing about this album, it's the first album we was able to do with just one writer, one producer. You know, that whole type of nucleus was just us, you know, it's all other albums always had different producers, you know, different writers, including us. But this right here was just one body of work, you know, one producer. Yeah. That whole type of feel, and it means real R and B. I think everybody will enjoy it. People have called it a classic, you know, so I'm hoping that everybody, you know, go check it out. Yeah. All right. Well, definitely support day 26. I know y'all gotta show. That's amazing. We appreciate y'all for joining us. It's the Breakfast club. It's day 26. Appreciate y'all. One morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Thank you to day 26 for pulling up and just hilarious. Informed me that B5 reached out to her to come on the show. Yeah, yo, they trying, you know, all. All of the former Diddy groups are, you know, looking to come back, you know, and they. They've been doing music. So they B5. Yes. B5. That. I can't wait to get to school them. Yes, yes, yes. That was B5. That wasn't. That was New Edition. That was New Edition. They must have did it over very New Edition type of song. Yeah, they. So they've been working on their music and they look like they haven't aged a bit. And they, you know, they back out, you know, so they trying to come up and, you know, get their music out there. Like day 26. They doing your podcast. No, no, no, no to me, y'all. No, no. Okay. They want. They want to meet y'all and give you all this new music that they got because it's hot fire. Word slow. Okay. They probably ducking ice right now, though. Be five. All five of them just with the best bet. News is real. Jessica Robin just don't do no lines. She don't spend nobody worldwide. Just worldwide match on the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shoot. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off. Lauren, I know you got something real quick that you got that you want to get to with the Illinois mayor, but there we have an upgrade from the story from this morning from the D.C. flight. Yes, the plane crash. So just an update. There are more now. More than 30 bodies that have been recovered from the water after the disaster in the air that happened at near Reagan National Airport. And in total, there were 60 passengers and four crew members on board. And there's a massive search and recovery effort that is still underway in the cold water in the river. Lord have mercy. Yeah, God bless those holes in their families. Okay, so the mayor from Illinois. Yeah. So what's going on? Cuz they got into it. I heard they squabbled up. Oh, yes. So dton. Illinois's mayor, her name is Tiffany Henyard. Take the ass off of Illinois. Illinois. Why? You caught that jeopardy, but you know what you're talking about. Don't say that no more because you the one reading. Go ahead. The Illinois mayor, her name is Tiffany Henyard. She had to get busy with her boyfriend because she was at a board of trustee meeting and one of the community activists in the audience stood up and has some words for her. Let's Take a listen to the activists. Your restaurant was deemed nasty since you sold for women. I already knew by the way you handle for Nia. But for you to sit up here and disparage that woman after giving her that fake ass. Congratulations in the beginning because you thought you was gonna get what you wanted. I want to educate you. Is a 20 year employee and ain't none of her business ventures ever failed. On top of that, she serves as a chief of staff, and she didn't her way to the top. She served as a temporary interim executive director for the Dalton Park District until she stepped aside to help her daughter become something you'll never be, which is a married woman. We've been hearing about what you've been doing while you've been at work. We gonna exchange your black ass for Stephanie to be the newest member of Amish. So all those in favor say ah. Now that's a town hall meeting. That sound like Wags. I think that was Wags the Riches, man. You know what that is? That's social media versus real life. That's crazy because I. I don't know if anything that man was saying is true, but you may get that off on Facebook. But you talk like that in real life in front of somebody, that's exactly what's gonna happen. You'll get some hands put on. Yeah. So basically what. So she was. Tiffany was trying to respond to what he was saying, but, like, you could see her trying to, like, hit the mic, but, like, nothing happened. And then the guy who was the community activist that was speaking, he, like, turns around and he's going to a seat. And then there's another man that comes up, and they exchange words real quick. And then they just. Everybody just starts going. Yeah, they start throwing punches. And the man is her husband. It's her boyfriend. Her boyfriend. I feel like, what did you expect to happen if my man is there and you talking like that? He better. You ain't got no man. But when I get one. When I get one. If y'all talk. Talk to me like that if you want to. Matter of fact, I can't wait to bring him up here to meet you, Charlamagne. It's not going to happen. It will happen. And you jumping in. I'm not. Mind your light skin business. I'm fighting him right now. Put him up. Put him. You. The man didn't have security. Well, so police did. Police did respond and try and break it up, but I don't think that they. It was a board of trustee meeting where they were deciding on some stuff with another business in the community and just like, community stuff. I don't think maybe she thought it would be the mayor, though. Security. Yeah. And police. Police did respond and break it up. Now. I will say, though, the stuff that he said about Mayor Lightfoot in the reporting, the investigation into her. There was an investigation into this mayor that the former Mayor Lightfoot did. Did. It was about like, her. Ms. Allegedly. Ms. Using funds and stuff like that. So it seems like this is a woman that the community ain't really feeling in general. So what Mayor don't misuse funds. I mean, let's. That's just a real question. I mean, like, which one? Don't show me one that don't. What her attorney heard. The Mayor Henyard's attorney said in the face of endless false accusations that outright lies about the mayor, it is unsurprising. It is not unsurprising that violence erupted. Like, basically, in the social media age, things go unchecked and people go unchecked. And this shows you what happens with false information or, you know, other information is put out there by people. He's saying what Mayor Lightfoot was saying about the report is false. And when things are put out there and people use it, you put people in danger. You can tell how he was talking. Like, he was saying things like to get the oohs and the eyes from the crowd. And like I said, you can get that off on Facebook, right? I'm sitting there. Yep. And my people sitting here. And you think I'm just gonna let you get that off? Yo, like, B is done. And it's like, I know her man was like, yeah, I ain't got to be her husband to whoop your ass. Like, I'm still her. Her boyfriend, though. That's right. Go, B. And you got to do that to distract from the fact I may not marry you for real. So let me go ahead, avoid that discussion at home. Let me start a fight. Imagine. So fast. Imagine that conversation last night at home. Anyway, thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. All right. That's Jess with the Ms. Sh. Man, who you giving that donkey too, Man? Let's talk about somebody who going to hell. Now, I don't know if I necessarily believe in hell, cuz I don't know nobody that been to come back to tell me it. Exactly. But if there is one, this person is going. He need to come to the front of the congregation. We need to have a word with him. All right. And then after that, Jess, fix my message. So if you have relationship problems or any type of problems and you need some advice, you can call Jess right now. Get on those phone lines. Lines 1-800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Your execution on the Donkey of the Day is something to behold. Is it a reason? He gave me Donkey of the Day and I deserve it. People need to know. Well, you need to tell them I am. You have the voice. Tell them it's time for Donkey of the Day. It's a read. But you're so good at it, you're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. There's only one Charlemagne. So, man, who you give a Ducky of the Day to, Nana? Well, sexy red Donkey of the day for Thursday, January 30th goes to a 37 year old Raleigh, North Carolina man named Carl Bennett. Let me tell you something. I don't know if hell is real, okay? But if it is, God needs to let us get a little peek at it. All right? Just a little trailer or something. Folks need a brief glimpse of where they possibly going if they don't stop with the foolishness they doing. Because there's no doubt in my mind that Carl Bennett is going to hell. See, there is a lot of Alphabet boys in America that folks are scared of. You got the irs, the FBI, the CIA, the dea, the LGBTQ plus, and now ice. No. Not the kind of ICE you're going to want when you are burning an eternal hellfire. Give me. Turn my instrumental off, bro. Okay. Yes, ok. Not the kind of ICE you going to want when you are burning an eternal hellfire. I'm Talking about the U.S. immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency. Okay? Donald Trump promised mass deportations and they may not have reached critical mass yet, but they deporting. Dammit. Okay, it's Trump. Immigration raids happening all over America. They running up in houses, jobs, restaurants, your butt. Oh, hide your kids, Hide your wife. Ice. ICE Baby is supporting everybody out here. And people like Carl Bennett are feasting on that fear, taking advantage of the anxiety that this current moment brings. You gotta think, is people not going to work because they're scared ICE might pick them up? Some migrant families say they are keeping their kids home from schools out of fear. Out of the fear that ICE may show up. And people like Cole Bennett are feasting on that fear. Let's go to WRAL News to see why Carl Bennett is going to hell. New tonight, a suspect is in jail, accused of kidnapping and raping a woman and faking ties to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Raleigh police say Carl Bennett threatened to deport the victim if she didn't take part in sexual acts with him. The Aaron Thomas is live in Raleigh tonight where the crime took place. Aaron, what are you learning from law enforcement? This Motel 6, located on appliance Court in Raleigh, the site of a reported rape on Sunday. Arrest warrants say this man, Carl Bennett, went to the location and committed a number of crimes, including multiple sex offenses. Bennett, according to these documents, threatened to deport the victim if she did not have sex with him and displayed a business card with a badge on it. Raleigh police didn't share the race or immigration status of the victim involved. We're waiting to see if any other victims may have been targeted. If you want to control someone, all you have to do is make them feel afraid. Carl Bennett is going to have a VIP section in hell with bottle service. Satan himself is going to come get him at the door and walk him to his section, okay? Platinum membership in Club Hades. When Carl Bennett says he knows the owner of the spot, damnity means. Means it, because Satan is in him, not on him. The demons in hell that serve as the bouncers gonna dap Carl up when he gets there. Like, Carl, we've been expecting you. Okay? You posed as an ICE agent to steal some cheeks. You pose as an ICE agent to sexually assault a woman who's just here trying to make a better life for herself. This is an elite level sin, okay? Top tier sin, all right? He might be in hell flexing like y'all. Just a general admission. That's crazy. Crazy. Okay? There is no empathy in this world anymore whatsoever. I mean, you have, you know, immigrant families in absolute panic right now. You have immigrants who, you know, know they don't have their papers in absolute panic. Some of them have committed horrendous crimes. Some of them just looking for a better life. They came to the land of milk and honey, a place of abundance and opportunity, and instead of the American dream, they got the. The ultimate nightmare. This woman just got the ultimate nightmare, okay? This man displayed a business card and a badge. You got to give him an extra 20 years because this is such a premeditated, intentional, sick crime. He thought he could get away with. Okay? He thought he could get away with this because this country don't give a damn about illegal immigrants, and he knows that. So he used this opportunity to take advantage of this woman in a terrible way. And I'm gonna tell you something. All ICE agents out there, you should be appalled at this crime. You should condemn this crime. Because the reason Carl was able to get this off was because people aren't surprised that an ICE agent would act this way. Because people believe ICE agents act in inappropriate ways. To get information out of people, you got to prove them wrong. I understand you all got a job to do, but you have to let people know you would never do your job like this. When I hear stories like Carl Bennett, I be wanting to ask a Christian, are you sure God forgives all sins through Jesus Christ? As long as the sinner repents and trusts God, are you sure? Okay. I don't know, man. Even if you know, God does forgive all sins. When you do things this heinous, you got to do some time. In hell's vip. Sit Carl Bennett at a VIP table in hell with unlimited fire and brimstone. Plus the DJ playing his worst life. His worst life choices on repeat. Okay? For at least the equivalent of 25 Earth years, please give Carl Bennett the biggest he. All right. Charlamagne. Thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. X about me, relationship problems. X About me, you need to beat your co workers ass. About me, your co worker need to beat your ass. Call it up, Dr. Jess. And I'm here to fix your mess. It's getting very much messy. Let me fix this. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Jess fix my message mess. And we have Keem on the line. Keem, good morning. Good morning, Good morning. Good morning, bro. What's your question? Yep. What's your question for Jess, bro? Yeah. All right. First, can I give a shout out to my fiance? Absolutely. All right, sure. Give a shout out to Nene. I love you, girl. I can't wait to marry you. All right. Now, Jess, I got a question for you. It's for my. It's for my wedding. So I proposed to my girl last month, and I asked my brother to be my best man, and my girl asked his girl to be in the wedding also. But since she's not the maid of honor, he decided not to be my best man because he's saying that he don't want nobody to walk with his girl. Now, I kind of get it because that's his girl. But, you know, I'm like, dang, that's my brother. Though I would expect for you to be able to be my best man. So I'm just wondering, like, should I be tripping about that? Should I take him out the wedding? I'm even not even making more groomsmen. Like, I mean, definitely, like, that you most definitely should feel some type of way. I mean, that's petty as hell. Like, he would. He not because his girlfriend can't walk down the aisle with him. He's, like, reconsidering being in the wedding. Like, are you serious? Yeah. I mean, he reconsidered being in a wedding, but he's just saying that he rather not have the best man role. Wow. Like, yeah. So, I mean, I'm not gonna lie, though. Like, they. They matching. I get it. Because his girl ain't ugly. So especially with the weddings, from what I'm seeing and learning, people be feeling a certain type of way when people be walking down the aisle. So I kind of get it. But I'm like, this has nothing to do with him or his girlfriend. You are getting married to your fiance. This is your wedding. So nobody really worried about him and his girl anyway. You know what I'm saying? Like, y'all can have all the time together at the reception or after, after you and your wife say, I do. It's about you and the fact that he's willing to exchange that role and, you know, like, he's willing to give up the role of the best man. You know what I'm saying? Like, you don't got another brother or a best friend to get at to. Like, you wanted your brother to have that. Yeah, I do. I mean, I. I technically, I'm technically going to have. I was technically going to have two, which is one of my best friend, but then the other was gonna be my brother brother. But, well, it looked like your brother is not in the right spot. It's not really. Obviously his top priority is not supporting his brother or he wouldn't really care. You know what I'm saying? He wouldn't give two Fs about not being able to walk down with his girl. You get what I'm saying? Like, nah, that. That's. That's petty. And you definitely should feel some type of way. I wouldn't let it get me too down. But you know what? You may just have to have. We're still going. What you're doing. Yeah, absolutely. You may just have to have your best friend as your best man, and you know what I mean? Let your brother go ahead and just be another groomsman of some sort. All right. For sure. For sure. Don't let nothing mess up that day. And congratulations. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. Have a good one, brother. Hello? Who's this? It's Michelle. Just. Hey, Jess, I love you so much. Hey, girl. I love you. Too. What's up? Okay, so, yes, I've been with this guy for seven years. I want to call things off. You want to what? I want to call it off. Okay. So every time I call it off and just try to push back, he do something to make me or make me feel like I need to stay, but it's not healthy. It's not going anywhere. Okay, well, what is the problem? Why are you calling it off? He's the problem. He goes. He goes out with his friend all the time. We used to be, like, hanging out with each other all the time, but he goes out with his friend who doesn't have a woman, and he's one where that. And also, like, he just. You just do what you want to do at times. Okay, so are. Do you not trust him? Is it infidelity? Like, has he ever cheated? Do you think he's cheating? I don't trust him. It is a lot of women that be after him. Okay. I think that's probably it, too. But it's like, you put yourself out there with your single friend to do for women to come after you like that. Okay, Because I was about to say it's not about women are after him. Women are after my man, too. But it's about what your man does if he responds to it. What type of person is he?

Very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a Playboy model, lingerie topless. I said, yes, please, because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior who's Just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to the bunny trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't know. I'm just not feeling it like, what I do. His friend was married at one point, and he got a divorce, and you rarely seen them, like, hang out. But now all of a sudden, when the divorce is final and he be around a lot of women, it's just like. Like his behind is, like, included with it. So have you ever caught him doing something, or are you just a little insecure? You're just a little scared? I literally saw him talk to a female, and he. As in, oh, that's my military friend. Like, yeah, well, look, you keep trying to break it off, but you saying he's. He's doing things to make you stay. What are those things? I mean, because at the end of the day, if you still feeling the same way that you feeling right now, nothing that he can do, there's nothing that he can do that can prolong this. I mean, because you're wasting your time. You don't trust him at the end of the day, don't matter what he do. I'm wasting my time. Yeah. So you know. You know what to do when I pull away. When I pull away, like, he'll come back. He'll, like, spend all his time with me, spend days with me. Does he live with me? Like, the repeated cycle. Does he live with you? Are you doing something for him? Like, what? What? Yeah, we do a lot for each other. Okay. Okay. But no, we don't stay together. We used to stay together. I end up moving out. So it was like, you know, we're gonna try this way, but it's not going anywhere for me. It's not benefit, but it's not. But I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you what the problem is, and then I'm gonna let you go because I already know you know what to do. The problem is you're. You're allowing this because you keep saying you're trying to break up with him. It's either you leave him or you stay. You are. Are staying and with hopes that he will change, and he really, really had no consequences. For real, because he Know he can do something to reel you back in and continue to keep you where he wants you at. You know, not saying he don't love you, but he's in a comfortable situation. You know, you make all these threats about leaving, but you ain't going nowhere. So you gotta go somewhere. You gotta go, really gotta leave. Okay. Thank you, Jazz. No problem, girl. Good luck, mama. That's what happened when you let him hit Raw and he blowing that boon. Fix my mess. Everything's about, boy. Everything. But that's what it is. 585-105-Feel that breeze. If you need just to fix your mess? You want that breeze back? All right, call her now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's the real deal. Help me, help me. Oh, my God. I'm all up in your mess. I'mma fix it, fix it, fix it? Just gonna fix your mess. Cause my advice is real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of. Just fix my mess. Hello? Who's this? Yo, what's good? Good morning. It's Chris. Chris, what's up? What's your question for Jess? I want to know, like, when you dating a female, how long before y'all should make it official? Say it one more time. When you dating a female? When y'all dating? Y'all just dating, figuring each other out. How long? Long. How many months or how long should I take before y'all take it official? Like, I've been going back and forth telling her I think it should be a whole year because I need to see her through all the seasons. Right. Right before you fully commit. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but she. You know, she. A lot of. You know, when I had this debate, they thinking, when it's good. Oh, you a good guy. Let's just jump right into this. I'm like, you don't even know how I'm gonna act when I'm mad. You don't even know how I'm acting when I'm stressed. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So when I say a year or whatever, they thinking that this is just because I want to just weigh my options, but it's not the case. I just need to see how you are. I love where you coming from. It's crazy. It's a shame that she has gone through things in previous relationships that has her thinking that's a default setting. When a guy says that, oh, he trying to weigh his options when. Nah, he could really be just trying to get to know you. Because he has done this before in previous relationships or precinct, you know, like just previous dealings with another woman. And it hasn't gone right into relationship. Yeah, Relationships, fast thinking, everything good. When they mad, I'm like, oh, she's crazy. Yeah. They stress. I'm like, you know, that's what I mean? So, yeah, I'm just trying to take a little slow. I think you should continue to take it slow, and I think that you should explain her. Explain that to her. And with that comes a lot of reassurance. You're going to have to reassure her a lot. You know what I mean? Just for. But if it's worth it, you'll do it. You know what I mean? Just to. No, I'm not trying to, like, weigh my options, babe. I'm just trying. I don't want this to be over so quick after we make it a whole thing. You know what I mean? Like, I just want to get to know you. I want to know what you like when you mad. And then that's. That's. That's really when a relationship is tested. Like, yo, can you still love me and respect me when you're angry at me? Because we see a lot of people hit below the belt. A lot of people regret arguments, and that's how they break up. Because most of the time during those arguments, you say things that you can't take back. So I get it. Because people be trying to hurt people so bad, you be trying to hurt the other person so bad. So, no, keep doing what you're doing, but just let them in with personal stuff. Yeah. And then they turn it around on you. They can you. Yeah. It could be thrown back at you. So, no, keep doing what you're doing, but just, like, keep reassuring her that, you know this. That's really what it is, you know, Like, I'm not trying to creep on you. I just want to make sure this is right. And. And if you. If you want to make sure it's right, you would respect me. And let's just go slow with it, and then we ain't gotta rush. Exactly. Yeah. No problem. Good luck, brother. Good luck. Just fix my mess. 800-585-1051. Now we got Jess with the mess coming up. Yeah. So you know how Loyalty had inserted himself in a Cardi and Nikki business some years back? He just told Shannon Shop he ain't mean to do it. It. So we're gonna get into that. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Tell you one thing. What's that? We don't talk about how working mothers be having to bust their ass and stuff. Boy. Just you being here yawning your ass off. Yes. And you got children. People need to understand that. I know. Okay. They act like you're not a working mother that be waking up at 3 in the morning. Yes. Coming in here with Shirley on 20 bundles. Shelly. Excuse me, Shirley. Shelly. Custom made wigs, makeup on edges laid and raising a newborn. Excuse me. You know what I mean. And a teenager. Yes. Okay. Don't play with her. And has doing stand up on weekends and writing a book. All types of stuff. And got to deal with you every. I just. Cuz you got to take that out. That was. That was nothing but the Holy Ghost that took that out of me. Sorry. Prayer is crazy. I. You got a couple of extra packs man at home. You got to come back. Why don't you try and grow your hairline? No, I don't use this hair. Just don't do no lies. Don't do. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide jets Worldwide method on the Breakfast Club. She's the culture shooter. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off. So last hour I asked you about Wendy Katz and you reached out and you got some clarity on that for me. I did. So the cats chitchat and my way are her cats. From what I'm told, the cats are gone. So remember when Wendy called up here, she said that after I had tried to come and visit her her the next day she found out that the cats were gone. Yes. And gone means that according to the person I spoke to, they were given away to a family. And there have been people hitting up like Wendy side of things. I think Charlotte somebody hit you up too talking about they think they have Wendy's cats. Somebody remember they hit all of us and said that they have Wendy's cats. There have been people reaching out saying hey, I think I have Wendy's cats. But like there's nothing that she can do about getting those cats back right now because they were given to a family. But the. The people that are reaching out are like yo, once she gets everything together, she wants the cats, but they can't verify who the. If the cats are hers or not alive. They're alive. Yeah, they're alive for sure. But she can. She can get them back when she gets everything together. Now y'all also had a question too about the firing of the attorney and how the attorney can push back if she, if she can. So from what I'm told is that this is really going to be left up to a judge. So what will happen is the firing is done on Wendy's end. So Wendy has already came out and said, no, I don't want you. Now it goes to a judge and a judge, judge is going to say, okay, Wendy, I want to know why Wendy Williams thinks that she doesn't need this court appointed attorney. She'll, the judge will listen to Wendy. And then if the attorney is fired by the judge at that point, then Wendy will be able to say, hey, I have a lawyer that I think I want to bring in. And the judge can listen to Wendy and can actually consider that and make that attorney a part of Wendy's team. But before the judge does that, there will be a test, kind of like a health update to see if she's able to make decisions, decisions to see if like, okay, does she know what she, what she's talking about at that point makes sense. Yeah. And, but that would be good for her because her team and her people have been saying, yo, like she's okay. So that'll, that'll put it on paper what the questions are too though, because I mean, depending on what you. They asking anybody, I can go there and sound retarded if you ask me the wrong things. You know what I mean? Like they got to be the right question. Yeah, I would just have a conversation with her, something like that or two hours. Now they got to ask questions because it got to be this. Probably the same type of questions that they ask everybody now. Yeah, but what questions is what I'm saying, You know what I'm saying? Like what is the evaluation is definitely going to be. I know it, it seemed like it'll be something that'll trip up probably purposely. Yeah, you can make somebody sound crazy depending on what you ask them. Yeah. Yeah. So just wanted to give y'all that because I know y'all had the questions in the room. Thank you. So there'll be more on that and we'll keep you. I'll keep you guys updated and then we'll keep the listeners interview. We have another update on the flight, the D.C. flight. We do. So at this time that we are speaking to you guys. We did a didn't. Now this is our third update. What is being reported is that there definitely are going to be no survivors of the crash that happened near the Reagan Airport. In D.C. we do have a report for that. Let's take a listen. We don't have the report for that yet. Okay, so we'll come, we'll come back to that. So in the meantime, let's go to Lil Yachty because Lil Yachty sat down with Shannon Sharp. Yes. Yeah. And what happened one day? Because I know a couple years ago he, him and, and he had said something about Nicki and Cardi. He kind of jumped in that beef and he said he regretted it. Yeah, yeah. And he's actually come out a couple times and basically, you know, tried to apologize and said he shouldn't have inserted himself. But let's take a listen to him on Club Shay Shay talking about it again. Cardi being on set on the album. Yes. That's lit. Yeah. You know, I said's my big brother. Do you feel that you have to take side since Cardi B in your label between her and Nicki Minaj? Yep. And whose side are you taking? Cardi B. All the time. Every time. So if Nikki says, hey, we're gonna do a song together, I couldn't as much as I probably would want to. But you just can't do it. No. All right, so to clarify, that was the original comments back in 2018 when the Nikki Cardi was happening. No, that was, that was Raquel shout out to my big sis. She had a show at TMZ called Rack Rants on bet. So those were the original comments that got him in trouble. But now the Smart Comments Though Law 20 and the 48 laws of power not commit to anyone. It is the fool who always rushes to take sides. Well, he said that it made Nicki Minaj very upset at him and he regrets it. And now let's take a listen to that. You and Nikki had a beef. You said you wouldn't work with her because your allegiance to Cardi Cardi B. You want to retract that or you? I, I, I have. And by the way, I respect both of these women aside from the differences, and I think they are both very talented women in the industry who have, have rightfully so on their way to the top. And to be honest, I really just, I hated that I even answered that question because I kind of just inserted myself in something that had nothing to do with. I'm still. You still blocked. It's cool. I, I, I love Nikki. From a distance. I was literally about to say that, you know, once you outside, you outside. I ain't and won't get in the club ever. It's not gonna happen. So you gotta respect it. Yeah. I mean, it's just you jumping in girl beef. You know what I mean? Like, even though he write for a lot of the, the female artists and everything like that, you just still gotta keep it where it's at. Like, you still a man. They, they. Women, Let them beef them do it, Let them do that. And I think at the time too, people gotta realize, like when he said those comments, that was when, like, Cardi was so intertwined with QC and it was like the, that was home team. Yeah. It was like they were all like this big family. Right. Like, you know, all of that. So, so. Yeah. But back to the update on the crash that happened. The plane crash. Yeah, yeah. So we actually have the audio now. I want you guys to take a listen to it. We've learned just moments ago that there are no survivors. This is now recovery mission. Newly appointed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy spoke moments ago about the flight patterns. The helicopter was in a standard pattern. If you look in the D.C. area, you'll see helicopters up and down down the river. This flight pattern is seen oftentimes when you live in dc. This was a standard flight pattern last night as well. The American airline flight coming to land was in a standard flight pattern as it was coming into dca. So this was not unusual with a military aircraft flying the river and aircraft landing at dca. Let's bring back Gio Benitez and geo. That's why there's so many questions here. Everything seemed to be normal, and that's what's so shocking about this. George, he said there that everything appeared to be normal. Now we do have a grim update. They have recovered at least 27 bodies from the plane's wreckage, at least one body from the helicopter's wreckage. The American aircraft's fuselage was actually found inverted and it was in three different sections underwater. That's horrible, man. Yeah, that's it on cnn, though. Horrible that the, the, the, the, the US Army Blackhawk helicopter was on a training flight. Right? That's what they said. Training mission, training exercise. Yeah. Somebody failed that training. Yeah. Because people are like, well, why would they have both at the same time? But from what you hear, it's like, that's not uncommon. But they are trying to figure out how the helicopter. Yeah. Like how the whole thing happened. So what was they training for? Like, that's what I wanted. Training. I'm hearing, like, this isn't a person that really has a lot of experience, what they're doing. Well, when you start to fly you normally have to put in a certain amount of hours before they let you get in the air. And normally those trainings are you're flight patterns. Like there was other people in the helicopter, so they might have been training those other people in the copter. That training did not go the way they wanted it to. Clear. And I always wanted to know and maybe you noticed because you were a flight attendant when it comes to plane crashes, right? Does the family get a certain amount of money from the airlines? Because I, I, I don't think you could sue because anybody would just sue for any amount of money. Like is there us like you know, if, if something happens, the amount is 500,000 or the amount is million dollars. Because a lot of these people, you know, lose fathers, lose mothers. I feel like the US government probably going to be responsible for this. If it was a, a U.S. black, what is it? The Blackhawk, a U.S. army Blackhawk on a training flight. If they find out that they were at fault, I feel like that's who going to end up having to fit the bill. I definitely think it's going to be some law. I don't know the answer to that question to answer it, but I googled and according to Google, families can receive plane crash victims can receive financial compensation or damages for the loss of their loved one. This compensation can include funeral and burial expenses, lost income, pain and suffering. You guys heard the new Secretary of Transportation this morning say they're working with all these different people in the family. So I'm assuming that they'll probably try and figure a way to like, you know, just help ease the financial burden. But this is just sad. It's not the headlines fault at all. Well, I think they what we're hearing so far FAA and those reports will come out what are determining fault, right? Damn. Yo man, man, rest in peace. That well that is just with the mess. Thank you. All right, well let's get to the people's choice mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious.
