- 1:43Speaker 1: in the studio. I'm not gonna lie to you. Well,
- 1:46Speaker 1: today's Phase one in New York City for people returning
- 1:50Speaker 1: to businesses, construction businesses. I think you can do pick
- 1:55Speaker 1: up at non essential businesses. You can pick things up.
- 1:59Speaker 1: But they said we probably want to move into phase
- 2:01Speaker 1: two until next month. Yeah, they're saying four hundred thousand
- 2:04Speaker 1: employees returning to work today in New York. So that's exciting, beautiful,
- 2:08Speaker 1: that's good. So I wanted that adds on to the
- 2:10Speaker 1: two point five that they said, uh went back to work.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I guess sometime in May, yet that adds on to it.
- 2:17Speaker 1: That's good. I'm happy drop dropping on the clues BOMs
- 2:19Speaker 1: for everybody going back to work. Glad you got a job.
- 2:23Speaker 1: God is good. Yeah, they allowed when the graduations too,
- 2:26Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty people allowed in New York State
- 2:29Speaker 1: beginning on June twenty six, So they moved it up
- 2:31Speaker 1: a little bit so only for outdoor graduations, one hundred
- 2:34Speaker 1: and fifty people allowed, so the class of twenty twenty
- 2:36Speaker 1: will get to graduate, hopefully sooner than later. So shout
- 2:40Speaker 1: out to the class twenty twenty. Me too. That really
- 2:43Speaker 1: hurt my really hurt my heart because those kids, like
- 2:46Speaker 1: you know, I didn't I didn't march because I graduated
- 2:48Speaker 1: in night school. But I know those kids work hard
- 2:50Speaker 1: and that's something that they always gonna remember, right And
- 2:53Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of them probably ain't gonnaver
- 2:55Speaker 1: graduate from college, so that might have been the only
- 2:56Speaker 1: time they do that a little you know, dance to
- 2:58Speaker 1: that pomp and circumstance, do I to They figured out
- 3:01Speaker 1: a way to do socially distance outdoor graduations. Back to
- 3:04Speaker 1: those kids, I'm glad too, and not just college, you
- 3:07Speaker 1: know high school and you know kids graduating kindergart and
- 3:10Speaker 1: go in the first grade, like all those big moments,
- 3:12Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Parents are always taping. You
- 3:14Speaker 1: have that for life. So I'm glad that students would
- 3:17Speaker 1: start to be able to graduate. Because my daughter definitely
- 3:19Speaker 1: didn't think she was going to be able to walk,
- 3:21Speaker 1: but now looks like she's gonna too, So that is
- 3:23Speaker 1: that is great. Captain And then Captain gowns are not
- 3:26Speaker 1: cheat people. Okay, and you bought those early in the year,
- 3:29Speaker 1: don't you. No, you actually buy it, uh No. But
- 3:33Speaker 1: I had to purchase him about about two about a
- 3:37Speaker 1: month ago, two months ago. But I already had a
- 3:39Speaker 1: backup plan, and I went to my house and got
- 3:40Speaker 1: my Captain gown for my mama, and I was just gonna,
- 3:43Speaker 1: you know, alter it a little. So my daughter, ken
- 3:44Speaker 1: walking act, you still have yours. My mother has everything
- 3:48Speaker 1: that I've ever did. Every when I graduated. Everything when
- 3:52Speaker 1: I graduated was pouring raining, and so everybody had like
- 3:55Speaker 1: nice outfits they had planned to wear some instead everybody
- 3:57Speaker 1: just put on sneakers. It was like pouring that day.
- 4:00Speaker 1: I remember that I couldn't wait to get it over
- 4:01Speaker 1: with no outside in the pouring rain. I was the
- 4:04Speaker 1: first person in my family to graduate and go to college,
- 4:07Speaker 1: so it was big for my family. So my mom,
- 4:10Speaker 1: I mean she framed the diploma. I think she might
- 4:13Speaker 1: even frame the captain gown and had to take it
- 4:15Speaker 1: down and give it to me. Like that was really
- 4:17Speaker 1: really a big moment for my family. So they were
- 4:19Speaker 1: very excited that. I don't care if it was raining,
- 4:21Speaker 1: if it was snowing, they were gonna keep that. So anyway,
- 4:24Speaker 1: let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're
- 4:26Speaker 1: talking about, Well, let's talk about defunding the police. Protesters
- 4:30Speaker 1: are calling for that to happen in some situations, it
- 4:33Speaker 1: looks like it will. What does that even mean? All right,
- 4:35Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne
- 4:42Speaker 1: the guy? We all to Breakfast Club. Let's get in
- 4:44Speaker 1: some front page news where were starting. NFL Commissioner Roger
- 4:51Speaker 1: Goodell has now said the league was wrong for not
- 4:54Speaker 1: listening to players who were fighting for racial equality and
- 4:58Speaker 1: encourage people to peacefully protest. Here's the video that was released.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Read the National Football League condemn racism in the systematic
- 5:07Speaker 1: oppression of black people. We the National Football League, admit
- 5:11Speaker 1: we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier,
- 5:14Speaker 1: and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protests. Read
- 5:18Speaker 1: the National Football League believe black lives matter. I personally
- 5:23Speaker 1: protest with you and want to be part of the
- 5:26Speaker 1: much needed change in this country. So it's okay to
- 5:31Speaker 1: nail now. Donald Trump responded on Twitter. Could it be
- 5:34Speaker 1: even remotely possible that in Roger Goodell's rather interesting statement
- 5:37Speaker 1: of peace and reconciliation. He was intimating that it would
- 5:40Speaker 1: now be okay for the players to kneel or not
- 5:43Speaker 1: to stand for the national anthem, there by disrespecting our
- 5:46Speaker 1: country and our flag. Here's more about Roger Goodell had
- 5:49Speaker 1: to say. Without black players, there would be no National
- 5:52Speaker 1: Football League, and the protests around the country are emblematic
- 5:56Speaker 1: of the centuries of silence, inequality, an oppression of black players, coaches, fans,
- 6:03Speaker 1: and staff. We are listening. I am listening, and I
- 6:07Speaker 1: will be reaching out to players who have raised their
- 6:10Speaker 1: voices and others on how we can improve and go
- 6:13Speaker 1: forward for a better and more united NFL family. People
- 6:18Speaker 1: were wondering if he was going to in particular, mentioned
- 6:20Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick's name, which he did not, but they are
- 6:23Speaker 1: saying the NFL will reportedly not running work out like
- 6:25Speaker 1: last year, but there are increased hopes around the league
- 6:28Speaker 1: that he could get signed. For the first player he
- 6:31Speaker 1: has to reach out to his Colin Kaepernick. If he
- 6:32Speaker 1: said he's reaching out to players, you know, if he
- 6:34Speaker 1: doesn't do that, that's a half ass apology. You gotta
- 6:36Speaker 1: personally apologize to Colin Kaepernick. You also have to admit
- 6:39Speaker 1: that you know Kapp was black balled, and if it
- 6:41Speaker 1: wasn't a strategic intentional black ball when they notice no
- 6:44Speaker 1: owner was attempting to sign him, nobody hits the top
- 6:46Speaker 1: intervene to say that's wrong, to make sure he plays.
- 6:49Speaker 1: But all these corporations are full of it. You know,
- 6:51Speaker 1: don't scream black lives matter if you don't have any
- 6:54Speaker 1: black people on your board. You know what I mean.
- 6:56Speaker 1: NFL got three black coaches, zero black owners. All you
- 6:59Speaker 1: corporations are full loving, releasing all these I Love black
- 7:02Speaker 1: People promos and I love Black people tweets and memes,
- 7:05Speaker 1: but that isn't reflected in your business every day. This
- 7:07Speaker 1: is about black lives marketing at this point. If you
- 7:10Speaker 1: really care about black lives showing proof through actions indeeds,
- 7:13Speaker 1: let me see what your board look like. You know
- 7:15Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Let me see what your black HighRes
- 7:16Speaker 1: look like and seeing your positions. Let me see if
- 7:18Speaker 1: the black people in that company are making just as
- 7:20Speaker 1: much as the white people in that company, if if
- 7:22Speaker 1: they're performing, you know, at the same rate, all better
- 7:25Speaker 1: let me see that. Other than that, it's garbage. Yeah,
- 7:28Speaker 1: I see a lot of companies calling out their companies
- 7:31Speaker 1: as well where they work. Now, Minneapolis City Council has
- 7:34Speaker 1: announced plans to disband their police department. The nine councilmembers
- 7:39Speaker 1: they form a veto proof majority. They committed to defunding
- 7:42Speaker 1: the department and moving toward a community base public safety model.
- 7:45Speaker 1: During a rally, according to local reports, they said, it
- 7:49Speaker 1: is clear that our system of policing is not keeping
- 7:51Speaker 1: our communities safe. Our efforts at incremental reform have failed. Period.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It's our commitment and policing as we know it and
- 7:57Speaker 1: recreate systems of public safety that actually help keep us safe.
- 8:01Speaker 1: So they plan to begin voting on legislation targeting the
- 8:05Speaker 1: department as well. A lot of protests are calling to
- 8:07Speaker 1: defund the police. So what does that actually mean. Well,
- 8:11Speaker 1: what that means is instead of funding a police department,
- 8:13Speaker 1: a lot of that budget will be invested in the community,
- 8:16Speaker 1: especially marginalized ones where much of the policing occurs. They
- 8:19Speaker 1: want to reallocate some but not all, funds away from
- 8:21Speaker 1: police departments to social services, and they also want to
- 8:25Speaker 1: implement reforms like police trainings and body cameras and change
- 8:29Speaker 1: that people really want so that communities can actually feel safer.
- 8:32Speaker 1: So they said, it's a spectrum of different things that
- 8:34Speaker 1: can happen, and those funds can go towards mental health,
- 8:36Speaker 1: domestic violence, homelessness, among other things. Yeah, I think it's great.
- 8:40Speaker 1: You know, instead of funding the police department, yes, put
- 8:43Speaker 1: most of the city budgets back into the communities, especially
- 8:45Speaker 1: the marginalized black ones. You know what I'm saying. You know,
- 8:47Speaker 1: we don't never get that kind of funding. Invest in
- 8:49Speaker 1: the schools, the hospitals, housing, food in the hood, invest
- 8:53Speaker 1: in those social services for mental health. If if you
- 8:56Speaker 1: provide folks in the hood with a better quality of life,
- 8:59Speaker 1: providing with the quality opportunities, guess what will happen. Crime
- 9:02Speaker 1: will go down. And when crime goes down, policing goes down,
- 9:05Speaker 1: which means interactions, when police go down, which means police
- 9:07Speaker 1: killings go down. It's a really simple concept. People, put
- 9:10Speaker 1: some money in the hood. It's not hard. You've been
- 9:13Speaker 1: telling you this for years. All right, Well, lad is

- 10:24Speaker 1: with my family. UM my son who I lived in Robby,
- 10:27Speaker 1: my seller's in Green bro He've been up there protests
- 10:30Speaker 1: and everything, and wife was my sister in law, decided
- 10:33Speaker 1: to send my son a video of the can this
- 10:37Speaker 1: Owen's rant? And she thought that she needed to send
- 10:41Speaker 1: him as but she never gave us an explanation, and
- 10:43Speaker 1: my son tried to explain to them, I'm black. My
- 10:46Speaker 1: wife's time. So for whatever reason, she sent him that
- 10:50Speaker 1: video thinking that that was gonna have him look at
- 10:53Speaker 1: things differently and kind of divided her family because of that.
- 10:58Speaker 1: So he kind of agreed with candids I went or
- 11:00Speaker 1: who hell to help to to know? Okay, I'm just
- 11:03Speaker 1: they just didn't know why she was sending that with
- 11:04Speaker 1: no context. The whole thing. Yeah, that's the whole thing
- 11:06Speaker 1: is we don't know why she sent it, you know,
- 11:08Speaker 1: and then they just send that video. Heard my son,
- 11:11Speaker 1: let's tell me if you agree with it or disagree
- 11:13Speaker 1: with it. That's that's what you do when you and
- 11:15Speaker 1: be like, hey man, look at it, look at this foolishness.
- 11:17Speaker 1: O hey, what do you think about this? Something? No? No, nothing.
- 11:21Speaker 1: She just sent this to him, and then my son
- 11:23Speaker 1: had to kind of explain things to her. But between
- 11:25Speaker 1: her and a boyfriend, they try to they try to
- 11:28Speaker 1: kind of shed light on the issue, and he was
- 11:30Speaker 1: trying to let them know that you can't tell me
- 11:33Speaker 1: how things are going, how things should be when you're
- 11:35Speaker 1: not in my shoes. You're not black, you have to
- 11:37Speaker 1: worry about getting pulled over by the police and having
- 11:40Speaker 1: monetary things taken from you by the police for no
- 11:42Speaker 1: reasons for being black. And it was a back and
- 11:44Speaker 1: forth and they got my wife so upset that my
- 11:47Speaker 1: wife was on her way to Connecticut to fight her
- 11:52Speaker 1: sister and her board room and her mother had to
- 11:54Speaker 1: talk her mother had to talk her off the ledge
- 11:57Speaker 1: because we do believe that these conversations for people right now,
- 12:01Speaker 1: because especially when you don't agree with each other. Yeah,
- 12:04Speaker 1: but the thing, the thing is age is um my
- 12:07Speaker 1: wife and I've been together for thirty years. So you
- 12:11Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's like for her for this,
- 12:13Speaker 1: for this to happen. We don't have a problem talking
- 12:15Speaker 1: about her because we understand because I'm black. My kids
- 12:19Speaker 1: are black if my racial but in in society's eyes
- 12:22Speaker 1: the black, So they who have white children don't understand, right,
- 12:29Speaker 1: the things that our children have to go through on
- 12:31Speaker 1: a daily basis. Well, my kids leave the house. The
- 12:34Speaker 1: one thing I do tell them do I say be
- 12:36Speaker 1: safe and I love you absolutely, God forbid. And something
- 12:40Speaker 1: s happened to my kids. What are out and there
- 12:41Speaker 1: about at least I know. That's the last thing that
- 12:44Speaker 1: I say, Tom, is that to be safe and I'll
- 12:46Speaker 1: love you. And like you said, it is, it is.
- 12:50Speaker 1: It is a tough time, and it is it is
- 12:51Speaker 1: a tough thing to talk about. But for some people,
- 12:53Speaker 1: I don't have a tough I don't have to talk
- 12:55Speaker 1: about it, all right, I tell you it could feel
- 12:59Speaker 1: really repet I too, because it's like we're having these
- 13:01Speaker 1: conversations right now with so many people who don't understand
- 13:04Speaker 1: that could easily do some research themselves and find out
- 13:07Speaker 1: and it gets a little frustrating, exactly. And that's what
- 13:10Speaker 1: mother in law did because my mom law was an educator.
- 13:12Speaker 1: So what she did was once she found out about it,
- 13:14Speaker 1: she was she was pissed off. And her thing, her question,
- 13:16Speaker 1: the same as mine, was what was the reason for
- 13:18Speaker 1: sending it? So she did some research on Kandis Owens
- 13:21Speaker 1: and she sent myself, my wife, my son, my sister
- 13:24Speaker 1: in law. She sent us an email that she found
- 13:27Speaker 1: a right up about Candis Owens and what she's about,
- 13:30Speaker 1: and a lot of it, a lot of it I
- 13:31Speaker 1: didn't know. And she she, like I said, she's an educator,
- 13:35Speaker 1: an English educator, and she built deep and she found
- 13:37Speaker 1: it and she sent it to us, and she's very
- 13:39Speaker 1: upset with her daughter for doing that right and she
- 13:42Speaker 1: feels I had a conversation with her about why she
- 13:44Speaker 1: did it. Well. I hope y'all get it together and
- 13:46Speaker 1: I hope that she understands how you know, irresponsible? That
- 13:50Speaker 1: was Yeah, thanks for checking in, brother, Get it off
- 13:52Speaker 1: your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
- 13:55Speaker 1: If you need to vent, hit this up now. It
- 13:56Speaker 1: was the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. This
- 14:03Speaker 1: is your time to get it off your chest. Whether
- 14:05Speaker 1: you're man. Thank you from you on the Breakfast Club.
- 14:09Speaker 1: But you got something on your mind. Hello, who's this?
- 14:14Speaker 1: This is the d I'm calling from Jacksonville. They d
- 14:16Speaker 1: get it off your Jacksonville, Florida. What's happening, d Well?
- 14:20Speaker 1: I was just listening to what you were saying earlier
- 14:22Speaker 1: about them disbanding Minneapolis Police Department and allocating funds into
- 14:28Speaker 1: the hood. They're not gonna do that nationwide because it's
- 14:34Speaker 1: poverty and crime is a million billion dollar business. They
- 14:39Speaker 1: don't want it to stop, they want it to keep going.
- 14:42Speaker 1: It's a this is cycle that's been going on for
- 14:45Speaker 1: years and to stop it to solve the problem. They
- 14:49Speaker 1: don't want the problem to be solved because it's gonna
- 14:52Speaker 1: take money out of their pockets. Well, that's my love
- 14:54Speaker 1: to Elections are important and who represents you is important too,
- 14:58Speaker 1: because the reason this is happening in many the list
- 15:00Speaker 1: it's because of the local council members. This whole moment
- 15:03Speaker 1: that we're in is to get America to change this
- 15:04Speaker 1: business model. We all know what America's business model is.
- 15:07Speaker 1: That's white supremacy. So we have to dismantle this mechanism
- 15:10Speaker 1: or white supremacy. So I'm not mad at the idea
- 15:12Speaker 1: defunding the police at all. I'm not mad at it either,
- 15:16Speaker 1: But there's so many people who are sleep There's so
- 15:19Speaker 1: many people like I'm not gonna join in on the
- 15:24Speaker 1: keeping the money and with black business. I'm still gonna
- 15:29Speaker 1: go eating made thenalds. I'm still gonna go eating tiphil
- 15:32Speaker 1: a like I've listened to like some of my I
- 15:35Speaker 1: won't even say friends, I say associated say that like
- 15:39Speaker 1: they don't. They don't care. They're not trying to help
- 15:44Speaker 1: the change. They're gonna keep adding on to the problem
- 15:47Speaker 1: because they don't think it really affects them, and even
- 15:50Speaker 1: if it does affect them, it's like they really don't care,
- 15:53Speaker 1: don't affect them enough for them to try to help
- 15:56Speaker 1: to change. You know. You know Harry, those types of
- 15:59Speaker 1: people shot him. Ain't got time for that. You're trying
- 16:02Speaker 1: were leaving. We're trying to get the hell up out

- 16:25Speaker 1: back in this this movement. But also last week just
- 16:27Speaker 1: got called about the accountability of the police officers having
- 16:31Speaker 1: to register like we have to do with our license.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I think we need to talk about that subject because
- 16:35Speaker 1: we need to push it, and y'all have that platform
- 16:38Speaker 1: to kind of put that out there. But we need
- 16:40Speaker 1: to really put these policies a turnable, because they don't
- 16:43Speaker 1: need seven times to finally kill somebody, or two many
- 16:45Speaker 1: times to finally kill somebody. They need to be held accountable,
- 16:48Speaker 1: and that's the only thing that change its accountability. Absolutely,
- 16:52Speaker 1: that's it. You get with you, the man, you're encourage,
- 16:56Speaker 1: with you, tolerate. That's right, that's right, we'll get it
- 16:59Speaker 1: off your chest. Don't drink five eight five, one oh
- 17:01Speaker 1: five one. If you need the event, you can hit
- 17:03Speaker 1: this up. Now, we got rumors on the way. Well, yes,
- 17:05Speaker 1: let's talk about some companies who are being called out
- 17:08Speaker 1: right now for their policies and things that they're saying
- 17:11Speaker 1: online and what's actually going on within their businesses. Will
- 17:14Speaker 1: give you a couple of examples. All right, we'll get
- 17:16Speaker 1: into that next. Keeping locked this to breakfast Club. Good morning,
- 17:19Speaker 1: the breakfast Club, borning everybody in cdj Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne,
- 17:27Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to
- 17:29Speaker 1: the rumors. Let's talk Michael B. Jordan. Listen, it's just report,
- 17:38Speaker 1: it's report breakfast club. Yes, so, Michael B. Jordan, he
- 17:42Speaker 1: had showed up to protest with the people in Los
- 17:45Speaker 1: Angeles and he talked about something his very memorable movie
- 17:47Speaker 1: roles Just think about it. Just Mercy Black Panther Fruit
- 17:50Speaker 1: Bill Station, and he discusses his role in Just Mercy.
- 17:54Speaker 1: He said, I learned his tactics, I learned his mentality,
- 17:57Speaker 1: and then he goes on to talk about the ways
- 17:58Speaker 1: in which his own production team prioritizees inclusion. Here's what
- 18:02Speaker 1: he had to say. The World's were the world's more
- 18:06Speaker 1: powerful industry. I'm an active member of that. I'm dedicated
- 18:10Speaker 1: our production coming to an inclusion writer. But it has
- 18:13Speaker 1: to go beyond that, so to the brands that support me,
- 18:16Speaker 1: to all the productions, to the studios, to the all
- 18:21Speaker 1: the business businesses and partnerships that I have. If you
- 18:24Speaker 1: have any financial ties the police, we have to relook
- 18:28Speaker 1: at our business. We have to stop hiring police. We
- 18:33Speaker 1: have to cut off their supporting. That's why I'm committing
- 18:37Speaker 1: to hire hiring private security at a whole body event.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Michael Bee is right. You know what I'm saying. If
- 18:42Speaker 1: you have a voice at your company, you got some
- 18:44Speaker 1: some type of je at your company, If you got
- 18:46Speaker 1: you know, some leverage with these companies you working with,
- 18:49Speaker 1: you got to make sure that they are all about inclusion.
- 18:52Speaker 1: I don't know, I have to be honest with you
- 18:53Speaker 1: should have been doing this before this moment, but better
- 18:55Speaker 1: late than level right. And here's something else that people
- 18:58Speaker 1: are getting called out about now. Adidas actually posted the
- 19:02Speaker 1: word racism crossed out on their Instagram page and then
- 19:06Speaker 1: they said take action. Things won't change unless we create
- 19:09Speaker 1: that change. Well, unfortunately, there was a lot of backlash
- 19:12Speaker 1: from their very own employees. Now. One person, Julia Bond,
- 19:15Speaker 1: who's black and works as an assistant designer at Adidas,
- 19:18Speaker 1: sent out a letter to Adidas's leadership that she shared
- 19:21Speaker 1: and she said that Adidas's response is shameful, and she
- 19:25Speaker 1: said they have consistent complacency and taking active steps against
- 19:29Speaker 1: a racist work environment. Apparently there's a lot of conversations
- 19:33Speaker 1: from employees about things that are going on in their workplace,
- 19:36Speaker 1: a lot of complaints that are often disregarded, and a
- 19:39Speaker 1: lot of frustration. She said, crossing out the word racism
- 19:42Speaker 1: does not negate its reality. Rather, it makes you feel
- 19:44Speaker 1: comfortable knowing that it's gone. Unless you are actively working
- 19:47Speaker 1: and instilling practices against it, you uphold the very thing
- 19:51Speaker 1: you claim to admonish. So she called on Adidas to
- 19:53Speaker 1: issue a public apology for the racism and discrimination they
- 19:56Speaker 1: have openly enabled and perpetuated across the brand. So that's right.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Apparently a lot of people have been talking about it there,
- 20:04Speaker 1: so all these corporations are full of it. Don't scream
- 20:06Speaker 1: black lives matter if you don't have a lot of
- 20:08Speaker 1: black hires. All you corporations are full of it if
- 20:10Speaker 1: you're releasing these I love Black people tweets and let's
- 20:13Speaker 1: dismantle White supremacy memes and videos. But well, your business
- 20:17Speaker 1: doesn't reflect that. It's a fat. It seems like a fat.
- 20:20Speaker 1: It looks good to people. So the people are doing it,
- 20:22Speaker 1: but they have to really do it. Yeah, that's how
- 20:25Speaker 1: you make it not a fad by actually putting people
- 20:28Speaker 1: in those positions in your company. Black people. Don't let
- 20:30Speaker 1: black lives matter turn to black lives marketing for some
- 20:32Speaker 1: of these corporations. Well, in Adida, spokesperson is now saying
- 20:36Speaker 1: they're going to have an all employee meeting this week
- 20:38Speaker 1: to discuss the topic and sharing an action plan. They said,
- 20:41Speaker 1: we recognize that we have not done enough, and we
- 20:43Speaker 1: are dedicated to doing more. We are close to finalizing
- 20:45Speaker 1: our commitments to ensure our people, most importantly, our black
- 20:49Speaker 1: employees are heard, supported and involved in solutions. The action
- 20:52Speaker 1: plan is simple, high more black people. How many black
- 20:55Speaker 1: people work at your place of business? How many black
- 20:57Speaker 1: people have seen your roles in your company? How many
- 20:58Speaker 1: black people on your board? What did your black representation
- 21:01Speaker 1: look like? Is Kanye West on the board at Adidas?
- 21:04Speaker 1: He should be. He's got a billion dollar company that
- 21:07Speaker 1: he built over there were easy. He gave him a
- 21:09Speaker 1: lot of cultural relevance over the last few years. Is
- 21:11Speaker 1: Kanye West on the board at Adidas? I don't know.
- 21:15Speaker 1: I feel like if black people make up thirteen percent
- 21:17Speaker 1: of the population, we should have thirteen percent representation in
- 21:20Speaker 1: all industries. We have equity ownership, our involvement. Do you
- 21:23Speaker 1: have black people company who are outperforming the white people
- 21:25Speaker 1: with the white people still make more money to the
- 21:27Speaker 1: black people? Why is that? Uh, let's talk about it.
- 21:30Speaker 1: If we're gonna talk about it now. Rebake has also
- 21:32Speaker 1: ended their partnership with CrossFit after their CEO made some
- 21:36Speaker 1: insensitive from marks. Greg Glassman is the CEO of cross Fit.
- 21:40Speaker 1: On Twitter now, they said, our partnership with Crussfit HQ
- 21:44Speaker 1: comes to an end later this year. Recently, we have
- 21:46Speaker 1: been in discussions regarding a new agreement However, in light
- 21:48Speaker 1: of recent events, we have made the decision to end
- 21:51Speaker 1: our partnership with CrossFit. We will fulfill our remaining contractual
- 21:54Speaker 1: obligations in twenty twenty. We owe this to the CrossFit Games, competitors, fans,
- 21:58Speaker 1: and the community, but doesn't changes our commitment and dedication
- 22:01Speaker 1: to cross fitters. Now, Apparently what happened was there was
- 22:06Speaker 1: a post from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
- 22:09Speaker 1: There was a tweet said, racism and discrimination our critical
- 22:12Speaker 1: public health issues that demand an urgent response wherever they occur,
- 22:15Speaker 1: and Glassman responded, it's Floyd nineteen, so a lot of
- 22:19Speaker 1: people call them out on it. And after that happened.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Reebok has now cut ties with cross needs to get Rebo,
- 22:27Speaker 1: needs to get back in business with Rose. Perfect time
- 22:30Speaker 1: to bring back ross Fit but he never had a
- 22:32Speaker 1: ross Fit, but perfect time to launch ross Fit Okay
- 22:35Speaker 1: with Rose, bring back Rose to Rebok member Reboke had
- 22:38Speaker 1: the s Doc carters and the g Unit sneakers. Also
- 22:42Speaker 1: early early on all Right moon walking in a pair
- 22:46Speaker 1: of Rebok pumps too Ye Swiss had a deal as
- 22:51Speaker 1: a head over their designer. All Right, Snoop Dogg is
- 22:54Speaker 1: going to vote for the first time in twenty twenty
- 22:56Speaker 1: now he called into Big Boys neighborhood to discuss the
- 22:59Speaker 1: killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests,
- 23:02Speaker 1: and he said that it'll be his first time voting.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Listen to this. I ain't never voted a damn my life,
- 23:08Speaker 1: but this year, I think I'm gonna get out and
- 23:09Speaker 1: vote because I can't stand to see this punking office
- 23:11Speaker 1: one more year. You gotta vocal voice for the voters,
- 23:15Speaker 1: like you can give people that will go out and
- 23:18Speaker 1: vote because Snoop Dogg said so. But for many years
- 23:22Speaker 1: they had me brainwash, thinking that you couldn't vote because
- 23:24Speaker 1: you had a criminal record. I didn't know that my
- 23:27Speaker 1: record has been a sponged so I can vote better
- 23:30Speaker 1: late than nevil. I felt the same way in two
- 23:32Speaker 1: thousand and eight when I voted for the first time
- 23:33Speaker 1: ever for President Barack Obama. I didn't know I could
- 23:35Speaker 1: vote because of my felonies, but I was mistaken and
- 23:38Speaker 1: I went out there and voted for the first time
- 23:40Speaker 1: for President Obama. The sad part about that whole situation
- 23:43Speaker 1: is Paul Snoop is losing his voter of virginity to
- 23:45Speaker 1: Joe Biden, h I lost my vote of virginity to
- 23:49Speaker 1: President Barack Obama. You got vote virginity to Joe Biden. Hey,
- 23:54Speaker 1: anything that will helped get down a Trump Attle office
- 23:56Speaker 1: and said, that's exactly what he said. Yea, hey, yeah,

- 24:38Speaker 1: former Minneapolis police officer in charge with second degree murder
- 24:41Speaker 1: of George Floyd. Is He's going to be having his
- 24:43Speaker 1: first court appearance today. So I just want to point
- 24:45Speaker 1: that out. So we keep an eye out for what's
- 24:47Speaker 1: going to happen there. Now today George Floyd will be
- 24:50Speaker 1: remembered in Houston before being taken to his final resting
- 24:53Speaker 1: place in Pearland. So today's a memorial in Houston and
- 24:58Speaker 1: only five hundred people will be allowed in the church
- 25:00Speaker 1: any given time during the visitation. So it's a public
- 25:03Speaker 1: viewing from noon to six pm and it will be
- 25:05Speaker 1: at the Fountain of Praise Church in Houston. Then tomorrow
- 25:08Speaker 1: he'll be taken to his final resting place. Just to
- 25:11Speaker 1: give you an update, now, five hundred people will be
- 25:14Speaker 1: socially distant at a time and mourners will be asked
- 25:16Speaker 1: to wear face coverings and gloves. So the public will
- 25:19Speaker 1: have to enter from two sides of the church and
- 25:21Speaker 1: separate socially distanced lines, and after viewing exit the church
- 25:24Speaker 1: and then you will not be allowed to return to
- 25:27Speaker 1: the lobby to leave. No bags will be allowed either,
- 25:29Speaker 1: so you have to go through a metal detector and
- 25:31Speaker 1: your temperature will be checked before you can even get
- 25:33Speaker 1: in rest in Pezza. George Floyd, he's getting the hero
- 25:37Speaker 1: send off. This is second memorial because the third is

- 25:55Speaker 1: and watch it all right now, the mayor in Washington,
- 25:58Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser, has four Emily endorsed Black Lives Matter Plaza
- 26:02Speaker 1: downtown and it just steps away from the White House
- 26:06Speaker 1: in Washington, DC. So here's what she had to say.
- 26:08Speaker 1: What we commissioned was the Black Lives Matter Mural uh,
- 26:13Speaker 1: and it's become a centering point, a place for healing,
- 26:17Speaker 1: um strategizing, but also redress, which is a right in
- 26:22Speaker 1: America where citizens from all over the country come to
- 26:26Speaker 1: their nature's capital to deliver grievances at the footstep of
- 26:30Speaker 1: the people's house. Drop in includes bonds from mad Bowser.
- 26:34Speaker 1: So that was dope right there. Now he lives at
- 26:39Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter Plaza. Yeah, kind of petty, right like that?
- 26:48Speaker 1: All right? And Republican Senator mit Romney marched in DC
- 26:52Speaker 1: at a protest after the death of George Floyd. Now
- 26:55Speaker 1: here is what mit Romney had to say about participating
- 26:58Speaker 1: in that demonstration to make sure people know what's really good.
- 27:02Speaker 1: We need a voice against racism. We need many voices
- 27:05Speaker 1: against racism and against retality. Lives matter. I like how
- 27:11Speaker 1: Mit Romney set that up too. He posted a picture
- 27:14Speaker 1: of his father actually protesting during the Civil Rights there.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I guess he's trying to say like father, like sons.
- 27:21Speaker 1: I like the way he put that in context. Yeah.
- 27:24Speaker 1: He posted a picture of his dad and said, this
- 27:25Speaker 1: is my father, George Romney, participating in the Civil rights
- 27:28Speaker 1: march in Detroit and the suburbs during the late nineteen sixties.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Course alone will not eliminate riots. We must eliminate the
- 27:34Speaker 1: problems from which they stem. I love it. I enjoy
- 27:40Speaker 1: seeing that. I want to give y'all some good news too.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Along with this. There's a teenager and I liked this story.
- 27:45Speaker 1: This was in Buffalo, New York, Antonio Gwen Junior. He
- 27:48Speaker 1: saw the damage from protests in his hometown, and he
- 27:50Speaker 1: went and got a broom, got some trash bags, and
- 27:53Speaker 1: he started cleaning the streets all by himself. He started
- 27:55Speaker 1: at two am on Monday. He did not stop cleaning
- 27:58Speaker 1: for ten hours. Then a group of neighbors arrived later
- 28:01Speaker 1: that morning, they wanted to start clearing out the damage,
- 28:03Speaker 1: and they found that he had basically done most of
- 28:05Speaker 1: the work. He's an eighteen year old high school senior.
- 28:08Speaker 1: He told TN, and he saw on the local news
- 28:10Speaker 1: that the Billy Avenue in Buffalo was covered in glass
- 28:13Speaker 1: and garbage. People needed to use that street to get
- 28:15Speaker 1: to work in the morning, and he single handedly pretty
- 28:18Speaker 1: much did everything. Now, Matt Black is a person who
- 28:21Speaker 1: saw Antonio gwen junior story on the news and he
- 28:24Speaker 1: decided that he was going to give him his prize
- 28:27Speaker 1: two thousand and four Red Mustin convertible. So he gave
- 28:31Speaker 1: him that car because I guess they looked at his
- 28:32Speaker 1: page and saw he was asking for advice on buying
- 28:35Speaker 1: a car and things like that. And then local businessman
- 28:38Speaker 1: actually gave him a year of free auto insurance as
- 28:40Speaker 1: well through his insurance agency. So this high schooler went
- 28:44Speaker 1: out and did a good deed, and then a lot
- 28:45Speaker 1: of people chipped in to do something positive for him.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Well that's why you when you do things for people,
- 28:51Speaker 1: or just do things in general, you do them and
- 28:53Speaker 1: not expect anything in return. You just go out there
- 28:55Speaker 1: and do it. You never know how the universe is
- 28:56Speaker 1: gonna bless you. He just got his Camma back instantly,
- 28:59Speaker 1: clearly all right, and Colin Powell. Donald Trump is upset
- 29:05Speaker 1: that Colin Powell will be voting for Biden. Now, he
- 29:08Speaker 1: went ahead and said, Colin Powell, a real stiff who
- 29:11Speaker 1: was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle
- 29:14Speaker 1: East wars, just announced he will be voting for another stiff,
- 29:16Speaker 1: sleepy Joe Biden. Didn't Powell say that Iraq had weapons
- 29:19Speaker 1: of mass destruction? They didn't, but off we went to war.
- 29:22Speaker 1: That's what he said on Twitter after Colin Powell appeared
- 29:24Speaker 1: on CNN and said that he was going to be
- 29:27Speaker 1: voting for Biden. According to Colin Powell, he said, be
- 29:29Speaker 1: up a constitution and we have to follow that constitution,
- 29:32Speaker 1: and the president has drifted away from it. On State
- 29:34Speaker 1: of the Union. Yeah, I was watching that yesterday. That's
- 29:37Speaker 1: not a shock. Colin Powell voted for Barack Obama and
- 29:40Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. So I mean it's not a shot. And
- 29:44Speaker 1: the problem with Trump Man and why you can't count
- 29:46Speaker 1: Trump out as simple. We don't know how he won
- 29:48Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. Twenty sixteen, it was the same thing,
- 29:50Speaker 1: low prooper rating amongst people, lowdprooper rating amongst other GOP officials,
- 29:54Speaker 1: every poll saying Trump didn't stand a chance, and then
- 29:56Speaker 1: on election Day he became the guy damn president allowed
- 29:59Speaker 1: me to reintroduce myself. Okay, that's why I keep saying
- 30:01Speaker 1: Joe Biden has to go out there and beat him,
- 30:03Speaker 1: because Trump isn't just gonna lose. And how does Joe
- 30:06Speaker 1: Biden beat Trump by doing what all of the world
- 30:08Speaker 1: is doing right now? Leaning in the blackness? Okay, if
- 30:11Speaker 1: Biden would have listened to us much ago, he would
- 30:13Speaker 1: have been ahead of the curve, ahead of a black curve,
- 30:15Speaker 1: all right, a long time ago. Still got talking to
- 30:18Speaker 1: catch up, though, And that's why I say, like with representatives,
- 30:22Speaker 1: I don't it's not really about whether you're a Democrat
- 30:24Speaker 1: or a Republican. If I support somebody and I like
- 30:26Speaker 1: their policies, I support them. So that's how you know
- 30:29Speaker 1: some people on my sake phone and power as a Republican.
- 30:32Speaker 1: But he's supporting Joe Biden, and that's great. Interest. You
- 30:36Speaker 1: vote what you think is best for the country, simple
- 30:38Speaker 1: as that. It's not about personality. It's about policy, simple,
- 30:41Speaker 1: it's not about individuals, it's about interest. Simple. All right, Well,
- 30:46Speaker 1: I'm Angela Yee and that is your front page news.
- 30:49Speaker 1: All right. When we come back Republic Records, they banned
- 30:53Speaker 1: the term urban within the label and they are encouraging
- 30:56Speaker 1: the music industry to follow suits. So you know a
- 30:59Speaker 1: Republic Records is home of Drake, Ariana Grande and a
- 31:03Speaker 1: host of others. We eight five eight five one o five.
- 31:08Speaker 1: They might need to ban the word urban. I ain't
- 31:10Speaker 1: hear one black number play the term urban. What do
- 31:13Speaker 1: you guys feel about the term the term urban? That
- 31:16Speaker 1: that is the question. Let's talk about it. Do you
- 31:18Speaker 1: think the term urban should be banned? We'll talk, But
- 31:23Speaker 1: why do you hate it? I hate the term urban
- 31:26Speaker 1: because it makes me feel like, um, they're just afraid
- 31:28Speaker 1: to say black. I've I've always said that. By the way,
- 31:30Speaker 1: I've never liked that word. I'm on record saying that.
- 31:33Speaker 1: And the reason I never liked the word urban is
- 31:35Speaker 1: because what I just said, I always felt like it
- 31:37Speaker 1: was their way of avoiding the word black. Like I
- 31:39Speaker 1: like to hear the word black. I would like to
- 31:41Speaker 1: hear black. Adult contemporary music card. You know, Mike Kais
- 31:45Speaker 1: is the head of Black Music Atlantic Records. The Breakfast
- 31:47Speaker 1: Club is a black radio show, well one one, one,
- 31:52Speaker 1: one and a half in a Dominican and I like
- 31:55Speaker 1: when people refer to me as a black radio personality,
- 31:58Speaker 1: not an urban radio personality. Even why it's interesting say
- 32:01Speaker 1: they't make black music. They'll give somebody like Ed Sharon.
- 32:04Speaker 1: They'll say he's one of the most important urban artists,
- 32:06Speaker 1: but he's not black. But does he make urban music,
- 32:09Speaker 1: malack music? Or what do you call the black music?
- 32:12Speaker 1: So when you have an artist like, let's say a
- 32:14Speaker 1: Post Malone or Eminem, do you say they make black music?
- 32:17Speaker 1: Polst Malone, post Malone? Watch you said post I know
- 32:21Speaker 1: what I Malone? I said post Malone. I said to
- 32:24Speaker 1: artists like post Malone or Eminem, do they make black music? Yes,
- 32:27Speaker 1: they make black music. Duh. I'm just asking do you mean?
- 32:31Speaker 1: But then when we do we do country music or
- 32:33Speaker 1: do we do pop music? Do we do you know,
- 32:35Speaker 1: do we do white music? We're making country music. Lodex
- 32:37Speaker 1: made a country music yes, Little made a white music category.
- 32:43Speaker 1: I'm just as different. It's different with um. I guess
- 32:47Speaker 1: hip hop right because hip hop has an actual term.
- 32:49Speaker 1: So when somebody is rapping, you know what to call that.
- 32:51Speaker 1: When somebody doing country music. Correct, you know what to
- 32:53Speaker 1: call that. But when something is labeled urban, like, why
- 32:56Speaker 1: is that our urban radio show? No, it's called me
- 32:59Speaker 1: a black radio show. Why am I urban radio personality?
- 33:02Speaker 1: Call me a black radio personality. It just always feels
- 33:04Speaker 1: like urban is just their way of avoiding saying that
- 33:07Speaker 1: beautiful magical word black. Okay, black black black, bigitty black
- 33:12Speaker 1: black black. Let's let's talk about it. Open up the
- 33:14Speaker 1: four lines eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

- 33:44Speaker 1: to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
- 33:52Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if
- 33:55Speaker 1: you just joined us, we're talking about the term urban. Now.
- 33:58Speaker 1: What happened with a republic KA. So basically they put
- 34:01Speaker 1: out a statement and they said that they are not
- 34:03Speaker 1: going to be using the word urban. They're actually burning
- 34:06Speaker 1: banning it from the company verbiage, and they said, we
- 34:09Speaker 1: encourage the rest of the music industry to follow suit,
- 34:11Speaker 1: as it is important to shape the future of what
- 34:13Speaker 1: we wanted to look like and not adhere to the
- 34:15Speaker 1: outdated structures of the past. And just so you guys know,
- 34:18Speaker 1: that term urban dated back to DJ Frankie Cracker. He's
- 34:23Speaker 1: a black New York radio DJ from back in the
- 34:25Speaker 1: mid seventies, and he coined the phrase urban contemporary and
- 34:29Speaker 1: they later shortened it to urban. And so they said
- 34:31Speaker 1: the term didn't carry negative connotations at that time, but
- 34:34Speaker 1: a lot of people argue it has evolved to symbolize
- 34:37Speaker 1: lumping music by black artists into one category and to
- 34:40Speaker 1: one category, and marginalizing black musicians. The only black man
- 34:43Speaker 1: with a sun tan Frankie Crocker. I encourage all radio
- 34:46Speaker 1: personalities to go google some old Frankie croc on YouTube,
- 34:49Speaker 1: drop on the clues bombs with Frankie Crocker rescue pieces
- 34:52Speaker 1: to the legend Frankie Crocker legend. I've I don't like
- 34:57Speaker 1: the word urban. Urban to me is their way of
- 35:01Speaker 1: not saying black. It feels like erasier. It feels like marginalization.
- 35:05Speaker 1: When I hear the word in meetings or just you know, conversation,
- 35:09Speaker 1: I always tell the person to just say black, Like
- 35:11Speaker 1: why are you afraid to say black? It rolls off
- 35:13Speaker 1: your tongue so well. Black black black black black, Okay.
- 35:16Speaker 1: I like when i'm when they say the Breakfast Club
- 35:19Speaker 1: is a black radio show. Charlomine God's a black radio personality.
- 35:22Speaker 1: I like when here somebody's the president of black something
- 35:26Speaker 1: at a company. I like that word. I hate the
- 35:28Speaker 1: word urban. What do you think it's see? It's difficult
- 35:33Speaker 1: because I never really thought so much about it. Like
- 35:36Speaker 1: I feel like, from the point of view of some
- 35:38Speaker 1: artists who I know right who, just because you're black,
- 35:41Speaker 1: they term you and put you in black music. So
- 35:43Speaker 1: even if you're say alternative rock music, they'll still say
- 35:47Speaker 1: your black music, and then they won't play you on
- 35:50Speaker 1: certain stations that might be a format because I feel
- 35:52Speaker 1: like they do that to fit a certain format so
- 35:54Speaker 1: that they can play you on certain stations. And I
- 35:56Speaker 1: think the whole thing is confusing because I also feel
- 35:59Speaker 1: like nowadays streaming services and people having so many different
- 36:02Speaker 1: tastes and wanting to listen to different genres. I don't know.
- 36:06Speaker 1: It's hard to say. It doesn't matter if you know
- 36:07Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, if you're a black artist, is
- 36:10Speaker 1: that mean automatically that Chared lumped into black music? So okay,
- 36:16Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, He's absolutely right, But what
- 36:18Speaker 1: you just explained is systemic racism. Because if I'm a
- 36:22Speaker 1: black artist and I make a country song, that actually
- 36:24Speaker 1: happened with Little nos X, they didn't want to put
- 36:26Speaker 1: Little nose X on the charts for right every reason.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Why not he made a country record. You know what
- 36:30Speaker 1: I'm saying. If I'm a black rock group and I
- 36:33Speaker 1: make a rock song, then put me on the rock charts,
- 36:36Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The fact that you're keeping
- 36:37Speaker 1: me off of that and want to lump me into
- 36:39Speaker 1: you know, put me into urban is just because I'm black.
- 36:42Speaker 1: That if, within itself a systemic racism and sharing. I
- 36:48Speaker 1: never had a problem with the term urban and I
- 36:49Speaker 1: never really thought about it. And I've been going to
- 36:51Speaker 1: the label since I've been sixteen, picking up records, but
- 36:54Speaker 1: I do know when the artist is signed that they
- 36:56Speaker 1: kind of put you into what category your music. I
- 36:59Speaker 1: guess to finds like if you're a rapper, they put
- 37:02Speaker 1: you usually in the urban department. If you're a pop artist,
- 37:05Speaker 1: they put you in rhythmic the section or a pop section.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Or if you're a country artists, they put you in
- 37:10Speaker 1: the country section. And it's not the country section is
- 37:12Speaker 1: what they work. So the country section works this the
- 37:16Speaker 1: country charts and the country radio stations, and the urban
- 37:19Speaker 1: department works the urban radio and they work the clubs,
- 37:23Speaker 1: and they worked the urban DJs. That's how I thought
- 37:26Speaker 1: it was category at Kaze. I wouldn't. I never had
- 37:28Speaker 1: a problem with well, urban means this. I just never did.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I guess me being from New York and New York
- 37:33Speaker 1: considered so urban, I grew up on the words. Would
- 37:36Speaker 1: never never that kind of it wasn't offensive way now
- 37:39Speaker 1: it wasn't offensive to me. It's never been offensive to me.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Right because the post Malone is he definitely alone. Then
- 37:45Speaker 1: if they get rid of urban music, is he categorizes
- 37:48Speaker 1: black music now Justin b as he makes hip hop?
- 37:53Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like they made Justin admitted
- 37:55Speaker 1: this weekend that you know he makes black music, he's
- 37:57Speaker 1: appropriated black culture now and just to play white devil's advocate,
- 38:02Speaker 1: they do do that at the black artists as well,
- 38:03Speaker 1: because there was times when Rihanna didn't get played on
- 38:07Speaker 1: uh quote unquote urban radio because they said she was
- 38:11Speaker 1: making pop records, you know, and I remember it was
- 38:13Speaker 1: a time where she had to transition and she started
- 38:16Speaker 1: um making pop records. But then she would also do
- 38:18Speaker 1: something for she did both ways. Yeah, and Beyonce. I
- 38:22Speaker 1: feel like it's the same. You know, she's also a
- 38:24Speaker 1: pop artist because pop just means popular exactly which black
- 38:28Speaker 1: music kid is, by the way, which hipop is the
- 38:30Speaker 1: most popular art form. We didn't get rid of all
- 38:32Speaker 1: how about we get rid of all the later urban
- 38:35Speaker 1: but let's just make music. But you gotta call it
- 38:38Speaker 1: because you know it's different. People work different parts. So
- 38:42Speaker 1: it's like, you know, some people work needies, different things,
- 38:45Speaker 1: you know, different stations. Yeah, you do need categories because
- 38:47Speaker 1: that's how you define where you're working, you know what
- 38:50Speaker 1: I mean. Some people think some people will work at
- 38:53Speaker 1: the at the hip hop stations and they'll never work pop,
- 38:55Speaker 1: or they'll never work country, they'll never cross over. It's
- 38:57Speaker 1: kind of you have people that's designed to do certain areas,
- 39:00Speaker 1: so you don't have everybody doing everything well. Envy you're
- 39:03Speaker 1: talking from a very old school perspective, because don't nobody
- 39:06Speaker 1: goddamn work No more records work themselves. Now they still
- 39:09Speaker 1: they work. They show up after the fact. Now they
- 39:11Speaker 1: still liar. They show up after the fact. Now they
- 39:13Speaker 1: show up after a record has already popped off on
- 39:15Speaker 1: the internet, Like, Hi, why is that's not true? In
- 39:18Speaker 1: some cases they do. But a lot of cases they
- 39:20Speaker 1: do work our records, and they do play with the
- 39:22Speaker 1: last time record got worked. Seriously, record got worked. They
- 39:26Speaker 1: went after they popping online. What normally happens is they
- 39:29Speaker 1: see a little buzz and then the label does get
- 39:32Speaker 1: behind it once you created some bus and then they're
- 39:34Speaker 1: the ones that make it go top ten. Absolutely, they
- 39:36Speaker 1: work records, They play record They have music meetings every
- 39:39Speaker 1: week where they play new artists and new records that
- 39:41Speaker 1: they're trying to push. Is that right a wrong right?
- 39:43Speaker 1: They do. They do respond to what people are saying
- 39:46Speaker 1: online and then try to take it over the top,
- 39:48Speaker 1: Like they say, Okay, we can see this has the
- 39:49Speaker 1: potential to be a top ten record. Okay, record labels
- 39:52Speaker 1: just need two people. Now, that's all two people people?
- 39:56Speaker 1: What two people working from zoom working home from zoom.
- 39:58Speaker 1: We just say with a lot of money. Okay, everybody
- 40:02Speaker 1: in the label about to lose their job. Thanks Charlo. Hello,

- 40:16Speaker 1: big deal to me. But also, before you gotta let

- 41:20Speaker 1: you just joined us. We're talking about the term urban
- 41:23Speaker 1: now Republic Records, which is home to Drake, Ariana Grande
- 41:28Speaker 1: the Weekend host to others. Uh, they're banning the term urban,
- 41:31Speaker 1: so we're just asking what are your thoughts? Hello? Who's this? Hello?
- 41:36Speaker 1: It was this morning see some power man shout out
- 41:40Speaker 1: to Alie. I love what y'all do. Um, I love
- 41:43Speaker 1: y'all keeping people conscious, you know, making the attempt to anywhere.
- 41:46Speaker 1: I know not everybody you know catches on, but what
- 41:48Speaker 1: the work out I do. I appreciate you. Thank you
- 41:51Speaker 1: so much. Brother. We're talking to the term urban. What
- 41:53Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Um? It's a word, and I feel like,
- 41:57Speaker 1: you know, words throughout time as evolved as as I
- 42:01Speaker 1: will understand evolved. Words, you know, take on different meanings.
- 42:04Speaker 1: Gay used to be used to me happy, and it
- 42:06Speaker 1: kind of still does. But you're saying, hey, man, are
- 42:09Speaker 1: you gay? You know? Just definition to that that question
- 42:14Speaker 1: now days, I feel like it still means happy though
- 42:18Speaker 1: city it does. But if I say, he said, if
- 42:23Speaker 1: you said what I said, Charlomagne, are you gay? You know,
- 42:25Speaker 1: if I said, if I ask you, are you gay,
- 42:27Speaker 1: You're not gonna say, you know, say a good point, Charlomagne,
- 42:29Speaker 1: are you I would reply, I would reply on marriage, sir,
- 42:34Speaker 1: gay urban music? Are you gay? Harry? You know what
- 42:39Speaker 1: I'm saying? Oh my god, But I think so the
- 42:45Speaker 1: definition of the ter urban is school urban men, city
- 42:49Speaker 1: rural rule men out in the country, and and sub
- 42:51Speaker 1: urban men you know, from there in between. But now,
- 42:54Speaker 1: you know, I feel like it depends on the context.
- 42:56Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. If I'm if I'm writing
- 42:58Speaker 1: a script or a play, you know, and I gotta
- 42:59Speaker 1: say the setting, I'm gonna say, Okay, it's in the
- 43:02Speaker 1: urban setting, so you are automatically know it's in the city.
- 43:05Speaker 1: But if you know, you got you know, white folks
- 43:07Speaker 1: you know, standing you know, or you know, I want
- 43:09Speaker 1: to say, white foot prejudice, folks standing around, you know,
- 43:12Speaker 1: having a conversation. Oh this is the urban style. You
- 43:15Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Didn't didn't that made the you
- 43:17Speaker 1: know a loaded words? You know. It depends. I think
- 43:19Speaker 1: it depends on the content. You know, what I'm saying.
- 43:21Speaker 1: I mean, so, I mean, that's that's that's that's my cue. Man,
- 43:24Speaker 1: just like the word, just like the word Christian. You
- 43:27Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's like the world black, you know,
- 43:30Speaker 1: I mean, you know it takes on different meanings throughout time.
- 43:33Speaker 1: You just talk about intent. What is your intent when
- 43:36Speaker 1: you use it? Exactly? Okay, Well, thank you brother? Hello?
- 43:40Speaker 1: Who's this? This is Matt? Matt. What's up? Bro? I'm good.
- 43:45Speaker 1: I'm good about stuff. Man, go on them to everybody.
- 43:47Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of black people, a
- 43:50Speaker 1: lot of black people don't want to be black. So
- 43:53Speaker 1: we don't want everything urban to be renamed black because
- 43:56Speaker 1: it wouldn't represent I like that. Take you got right there, sir,
- 44:01Speaker 1: Thank you. They yeah, they wouldn't appreciate that. So they
- 44:03Speaker 1: want to keep it mainly political and they think it'll
- 44:05Speaker 1: be something that'll be worse more than good. So yeah, yeah,
- 44:10Speaker 1: so urban urban is a politically correct word that so
- 44:13Speaker 1: they don't have to say black, and it's a word
- 44:15Speaker 1: that makes everybody who who isn't comfortable with their blackness
- 44:18Speaker 1: feel comfortable. Well, not just the blackness, but everything that
- 44:22Speaker 1: urban fast for isn't something that all black people don't
- 44:25Speaker 1: stay Like, oh you mean you Okay, I get what
- 44:28Speaker 1: you're saying. Like, do you think urban comes with ghetto?
- 44:30Speaker 1: Is what you're saying. Yeah, it's been good. Apply too
- 44:34Speaker 1: closely for that, and a lot of people don't even
- 44:36Speaker 1: want to the hood to exist. We want all black
- 44:39Speaker 1: people to live outside of the hood most people do.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Are we gonna rename urban outfitters? Black outfitters will be fine?
- 44:50Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying.
- 44:52Speaker 1: I guess growing up in New Yorker, I mean we
- 44:54Speaker 1: we always considered New York City urban, so it was
- 44:56Speaker 1: never a thing of anything else. Like if you it's
- 45:00Speaker 1: certain styles that you just just looked at this urban
- 45:02Speaker 1: you know when I don't know, as a matter of fact,
- 45:05Speaker 1: if you lived in the suburbs growing up, we felt
- 45:07Speaker 1: like you was corny. You know what I'm saying, Like, oh,
- 45:09Speaker 1: that's suburban. Oh the suburban kids. Urban was actually cool. Yeah,
- 45:14Speaker 1: I don't know, it's I don't know. I guess mean
- 45:18Speaker 1: being from New York City just now, I never had
- 45:20Speaker 1: a problem with the term. Yeah, I agree with that.
- 45:22Speaker 1: I think here it was always like urban was cool, hip,
- 45:25Speaker 1: suburban was like follow you know what I'm saying, Like
- 45:28Speaker 1: the way you looked at it, like, oh, he's suburban anyway,
- 45:30Speaker 1: he don't know. You know, there are certain things that
- 45:32Speaker 1: was urban culture, like you know, do rags was like
- 45:35Speaker 1: the urban was urban culture. Not the way we wore
- 45:39Speaker 1: our pants, the way we we tied out sneakers, that
- 45:41Speaker 1: was all urban. That was our urban culture. You know
- 45:44Speaker 1: the fact that we laced it a certain way and
- 45:45Speaker 1: run dmc wore there kicks a certain way, and the
- 45:48Speaker 1: way we wore our jerseys. Culture. Why we say urban?
- 45:51Speaker 1: Nobody nobody grew up in the hood saying urban. We
- 45:54Speaker 1: didn't grow up in the hood saying yo, that's urban's
- 45:56Speaker 1: We never said urban culture. We never said black culture.
- 46:01Speaker 1: E look, we never just say I never. I never
- 46:07Speaker 1: said we. I never that. I never said the dance
- 46:11Speaker 1: is the black way I just wore. Because that's why
- 46:14Speaker 1: I definitely no, no, no no time about envy. You're a liar.
- 46:17Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why. You know, goodall, at some
- 46:19Speaker 1: point in your life you heard people in the hood say, oh,
- 46:20Speaker 1: he's talking like a white boy. Oh he's dressing like
- 46:23Speaker 1: a white boy. So if you're if you're saying that
- 46:25Speaker 1: what are you dressing like? Clearly you're making the distinction,
- 46:27Speaker 1: but nobody ever said you're dressing like a that's like
- 46:30Speaker 1: black culture. Nobody ever said that we were from. That's
- 46:34Speaker 1: what we say. We did it because that's what we
- 46:36Speaker 1: say black power, we say black pride, you know what
- 46:39Speaker 1: I mean? Like we were we were very We always
- 46:42Speaker 1: were when we had the Malcolm X hats and the
- 46:45Speaker 1: African medallions, like we were very intune with I'll black
- 46:48Speaker 1: remember black Bart Simpson T shirts. Absolutely, come on, no
- 46:54Speaker 1: call you a liar. Yeah, that's what I said, because
- 46:56Speaker 1: because I did say I went my clothes the black way.
- 46:59Speaker 1: I just it was just it was just New York
- 47:01Speaker 1: was considered urban, and that's what that's what it was.
- 47:03Speaker 1: It was. We didn't take it for We didn't take
- 47:05Speaker 1: it for anything. We didn't take it this disrespect. It
- 47:06Speaker 1: wasn't offensive. That's just that's just where where we were from.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Envy is definitely urban. That's our new name. Me and
- 47:13Speaker 1: Envy are Burton Urban from now on, Kurt Urban, I'm

- 48:50Speaker 1: looking for twenty three. Yep. I don't know how she

- 49:03Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Tamika Mallory. Actually yesterday there was a
- 49:06Speaker 1: zoom call that she put together her and Linda Sarsar
- 49:10Speaker 1: alongside Alicia Keys and Rhapsody, And this was for a
- 49:13Speaker 1: birthday celebration for Brianna Taylor, and Brianna Taylor's mother was
- 49:17Speaker 1: on and her cousins and her sister and best friends
- 49:21Speaker 1: and everything. So it was organizing to get some action
- 49:25Speaker 1: because those police officers that killed her have not been
- 49:28Speaker 1: charged still, so it was just a way to give
- 49:30Speaker 1: out more information than we're going to be spreading that
- 49:32Speaker 1: information starting today. But there were a lot of great
- 49:35Speaker 1: people on the call, a lot of great suggestions. Cardi
- 49:37Speaker 1: b was on it, Tracy Ellis Ross was on there,
- 49:40Speaker 1: Yandy Mona Scott, Young Ellen degenerous was on there. So
- 49:44Speaker 1: look forward to carry more of that because I feel
- 49:46Speaker 1: like for Brianna Taylor, her family has still not gotten answers,
- 49:49Speaker 1: they haven't gotten justice, and we don't want this to
- 49:51Speaker 1: be something that just gets swept under the rug. And today,

- 50:22Speaker 1: She is one of our great black fearless leaders out
- 50:25Speaker 1: here in the Screech. And we talk about protecting people
- 50:27Speaker 1: at all costs. No, Tamica Mallory absolutely must be protected
- 50:30Speaker 1: at all costs, hurt, fooling around with Timica Mallory, Okay,
- 50:33Speaker 1: dropping the flute bombs for Jamica Mallory. All right, well
- 50:37Speaker 1: we got rumors all the way. What we're talking about, Yes,
- 50:41Speaker 1: we are going to be talking about little Wayne and
- 50:44Speaker 1: some comments that he has tried to clear up. So
- 50:47Speaker 1: let's see if you have more understanding. All right, we'll
- 50:49Speaker 1: get into that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club comoting. This
- 50:52Speaker 1: is the rumor report with Angela Breakfast Clubs. Will Terry
- 51:02Speaker 1: Crews tweeted out, defeating white supremacy without white people creates
- 51:06Speaker 1: black supremacy. Equality is the truth, like it or not.
- 51:09Speaker 1: We are all in this together, so naturally, I know
- 51:12Speaker 1: I happen to see that as soon as he posted
- 51:14Speaker 1: it and everybody went in. I knew that was going
- 51:17Speaker 1: to happen immediately because it just doesn't seem to make
- 51:19Speaker 1: much sense. It doesn't. I still don't even understand what
- 51:22Speaker 1: he was trying to say. And once, I mean twice,
- 51:24Speaker 1: and don't get it. I keep it moving. God, Now
- 51:28Speaker 1: I don't even understand what he was trying to say. Yeah,
- 51:30Speaker 1: I don't understand. God. For you, the comedian said, I
- 51:32Speaker 1: love you as a as a friend, brother, Terry, but
- 51:34Speaker 1: I disagree with you one hundred percent. No such thing
- 51:37Speaker 1: as black supremacy. That is a tactic that racist whites
- 51:40Speaker 1: used to counteract our rebellion to the horrific treatment of us.
- 51:43Speaker 1: It's called gaslighting. Black pride isn't anti white. Terry Crews responded,
- 51:47Speaker 1: I agree. I'm not discussing white people here. There are
- 51:50Speaker 1: gatekeepers of blackness within our own community who decide, but
- 51:53Speaker 1: who's black and who's not. I have often been called
- 51:55Speaker 1: out for not being black enough? How can that be?
- 51:58Speaker 1: And then Tyler James Williams said, I'm not trying to
- 52:02Speaker 1: call you out, Terry Crews. You know what's all love always,
- 52:04Speaker 1: But we're rightfully angry right now and fed up with
- 52:06Speaker 1: anyone not with our cause wholeheartedly. I don't want to
- 52:09Speaker 1: see that energy point in your way or diverted from
- 52:11Speaker 1: the cause. And Terry Crews responded, I understand, Tyler. I
- 52:14Speaker 1: was not saying black supremacy exists, because it doesn't. I
- 52:17Speaker 1: am saying, if both black and whites don't continue to
- 52:19Speaker 1: work together, bad attitudes and resentments can create a dangerous
- 52:23Speaker 1: self righteousness, that's all. Then he goes on to say,
- 52:26Speaker 1: any black person who calls me a coon or and
- 52:28Speaker 1: Uncle Tom for promoting equality is a black supremacist because
- 52:31Speaker 1: they have determined who's black and who is not. And
- 52:34Speaker 1: that's why his problem lies. His problem lies with the
- 52:37Speaker 1: black people who are calling him koon and Uncle Tom.
- 52:40Speaker 1: So therefore he's mad at them. So it sounds like
- 52:42Speaker 1: he's going against the whole movement of blackness that's happening
- 52:47Speaker 1: right now in America. And guess what, you know why
- 52:49Speaker 1: it's happening because we are God's chosen people. This is divine.
- 52:52Speaker 1: God is given America a chance to do right by
- 52:55Speaker 1: black people. Get out the way Terry sometimes when people
- 52:58Speaker 1: do things like that, even to pay him any attention,
- 53:02Speaker 1: like he's he's had history of going against the grain
- 53:06Speaker 1: and going against our own grain. It is grain. He
- 53:10Speaker 1: goes against our own people all the time. And it's
- 53:12Speaker 1: like it's not surprising to me, like when he went
- 53:14Speaker 1: against Gabriel Union, like he does this, so it's not
- 53:17Speaker 1: like it's kind of like a whatever Terry crews. I
- 53:19Speaker 1: don't know, but I can't appreciate the people who are
- 53:21Speaker 1: friends with him who actually called him out on it,
- 53:24Speaker 1: to try to explain it to him, because if you
- 53:26Speaker 1: are a clue with somebody in real life and he
- 53:28Speaker 1: posts something like that publicly, then you try to explain
- 53:32Speaker 1: to your friend what the problem is with his statements.
- 53:36Speaker 1: All right. Now, another person who has received backlashes little Wayne,
- 53:40Speaker 1: and he was explaining his issues and his relationship with
- 53:44Speaker 1: the police because he has made controversial comments in the
- 53:47Speaker 1: past and not blaming our police for being bad. So
- 53:51Speaker 1: here's what he had to say. I think when we
- 53:53Speaker 1: see these situations, I think we also have to understand
- 53:56Speaker 1: that we have to we have to get very specific.
- 53:58Speaker 1: We have to stop placing the blame on the whole
- 54:02Speaker 1: force and the whole everybody of such a certain certain race,
- 54:06Speaker 1: everybody with a bad and we have to actually get
- 54:08Speaker 1: into who that person is. And if we want to
- 54:10Speaker 1: place to blame on anybody, it should be ourselves. But
- 54:13Speaker 1: not doing more than where we think we're doing, all right.
- 54:16Speaker 1: So he had this experienced personally with a police officer.
- 54:20Speaker 1: And here's more of what Little Wayne had to say
- 54:22Speaker 1: to explain his take in and what he was trying
- 54:24Speaker 1: to say. When he was saying that we want to
- 54:26Speaker 1: place to blame on anybody, it should be ourselves for
- 54:29Speaker 1: not doing more than what we think we're doing. My
- 54:32Speaker 1: life was saved when I was young, shot myself. I
- 54:35Speaker 1: was saved by a white cop, Uncle Bob. So you
- 54:39Speaker 1: have to understand from death, for you have to understand
- 54:41Speaker 1: the way our view police period. There was a bunch
- 54:44Speaker 1: of black cops jumped over me when they saw me
- 54:46Speaker 1: at that door, laying on the floor with that hole
- 54:48Speaker 1: in my chest. He refused to No, wheezy, I highly disagree.
- 54:52Speaker 1: You gotta put it on the whole system. Why because
- 54:54Speaker 1: one bad apple spoils a bunch and one good apple
- 54:57Speaker 1: doesn't make make a bunch of rotten apples better. Those
- 54:59Speaker 1: police officers are a part of system of white supremacy.
- 55:02Speaker 1: And to tell that system is dismantled, nothing is going
- 55:04Speaker 1: to change. And little Wayne is also a freestyler. And
- 55:07Speaker 1: when he's talking, he starts off and it sounds like
- 55:09Speaker 1: it's about to be a good point, and then it
- 55:11Speaker 1: just goes somewhere else. And that's what would see these
- 55:16Speaker 1: long rants. When he said we need to blame ourselves,
- 55:18Speaker 1: that's that's when I was. That's it didn't make any
- 55:20Speaker 1: sense to me blame myself for what for being abused?
- 55:23Speaker 1: But I will say what he did say was and
- 55:25Speaker 1: probably what he meant was all officers aren't bad. And
- 55:28Speaker 1: I've been hearing people say, well, you know they work
- 55:30Speaker 1: for this, this, this, Yeah, exactly. But we encourage more
- 55:36Speaker 1: and more African American and more and more brothers to
- 55:38Speaker 1: be police officers to help and right, is that what
- 55:42Speaker 1: we do? No, No, we encourage people to become an
- 55:44Speaker 1: officer and stay in our community and do the right
- 55:46Speaker 1: thing for our community. Is that feel encouraged to be
- 55:49Speaker 1: officers because people also look at you if you become
- 55:52Speaker 1: a police officer like you know, that's hard because we're
- 55:54Speaker 1: taught not to trust the police officers. And we do
- 55:56Speaker 1: need to encourage more of our people to become great
- 56:00Speaker 1: police officers. And that's what I thought. We were trying
- 56:01Speaker 1: to encourage our people to become great officers and come
- 56:04Speaker 1: back to our community where we know people and know
- 56:06Speaker 1: how to talk to our community and know how to
- 56:08Speaker 1: be in our community. That's what I thought we were encouraging. Yeah,
- 56:11Speaker 1: but you know what, that's good, But you got to
- 56:13Speaker 1: get in there and actually try to dismanter that system
- 56:15Speaker 1: of white supremacy, which a lot of them don't do
- 56:17Speaker 1: because they go in and they automatically adopt that that
- 56:20Speaker 1: blue wall of silence. You know what I'm saying, When
- 56:22Speaker 1: things happen like you know, Big George Floyd, if you
- 56:25Speaker 1: think that's wrong, as a police officer, you should be
- 56:27Speaker 1: able to speak out on that without fear of any
- 56:29Speaker 1: repercussions from the unit that you're a part of. You
- 56:31Speaker 1: know what I mean? Absolutely, and tell the Tell and tell.
- 56:34Speaker 1: They're not afraid to do that to me. They just
- 56:36Speaker 1: all part of a bad system because, like I said,
- 56:39Speaker 1: one bad apple spoils a bunch, but I've never seen
- 56:42Speaker 1: one good apple make a bunch of rotten apples better.
- 56:46Speaker 1: All right now, Serena Williams husband, Alexis Ohanian, and you
- 56:49Speaker 1: also know him as the co founder and executive chairman
- 56:52Speaker 1: of Reddit, is stepping down from the board. He wants
- 56:55Speaker 1: to make the world better for his daughter Olympia. Here's
- 56:58Speaker 1: what he had to say and who he wants to
- 57:00Speaker 1: replace him. Fifteen years ago, I cofounded Reddit as a
- 57:03Speaker 1: place for people to find community and a sense of belonging.
- 57:07Speaker 1: I'm doing this for me, for my family, and for
- 57:10Speaker 1: my country. I'm saying this as a father who needs
- 57:14Speaker 1: to be able to answer his black daughter when she
- 57:17Speaker 1: asks what did you do? So I have resigned as
- 57:21Speaker 1: a member of the Reddit board. I've urged them to
- 57:24Speaker 1: fill my seat with a black candidate, and I will
- 57:27Speaker 1: use future gains on my reddit stock to serve the
- 57:31Speaker 1: black community, chiefly to curb racial hate. And I'm starting
- 57:35Speaker 1: with a pledge of one million dollars to Colin Kaepernick's
- 57:38Speaker 1: Know Your Rights Camp. That's very honorable, right. His donation
- 57:43Speaker 1: has stepping down is making sure that as a black
- 57:46Speaker 1: person is going to come in and be on that
- 57:48Speaker 1: board in his place. All of these things are important steps,
- 57:52Speaker 1: and other companies should be making sure that their diversity
- 57:55Speaker 1: is a front and center. Yep, donkey today, and that
- 58:02Speaker 1: is your room report who you're giving that donkey too?
- 58:05Speaker 1: I need Roger Goodell to come to the front of
- 58:07Speaker 1: the congregation because this is an opportunity to teach about
- 58:10Speaker 1: what's just what's going on out here in corporate America
- 58:12Speaker 1: and what we expect from corporate America moving forward. All Right,
- 58:15Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keep a lot of this
- 58:17Speaker 1: to breakfast club. Good Morning's time for donkey of the Day, Democrat.
- 58:26Speaker 1: So being dunky of the day, a little bit of
- 58:28Speaker 1: a mix like a dope the other day. Now, I've
- 58:36Speaker 1: been called a lot of my twenty three years, but
- 58:38Speaker 1: donkey other day is a new wife. Donkey today for Monday,
- 58:41Speaker 1: June eighth goes to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Now, if
- 58:44Speaker 1: you look around the world, you have a bunch of
- 58:46Speaker 1: white people who are going out of their way to
- 58:48Speaker 1: prove that they love black people and not just black coaching.
- 58:51Speaker 1: All right, everybody wants to have conversations about ridding the
- 58:55Speaker 1: world of systemic racism. Everyone wants to discuss creating a
- 58:58Speaker 1: new system because we all noticed of white supremacy does
- 59:01Speaker 1: not work for everybody. Look, I'm on record saying, you know,
- 59:05Speaker 1: ain't no good gonna come to America until they do
- 59:08Speaker 1: right by black people. Period. Pooh. God has given America
- 59:12Speaker 1: the opportunity. The right is wrongs. God has given America
- 59:15Speaker 1: the opportunity to reverse his bad karma. So I'm not
- 59:17Speaker 1: upset at the white folks and white companies I see
- 59:20Speaker 1: tweeting and posting memes, doing videos like Roger Goodell did,
- 59:24Speaker 1: because Roger Goodell has the right idea. Because one of
- 59:26Speaker 1: the first ways to reverse bad karma is to write
- 59:30Speaker 1: a letter or call those who you have wronged in
- 59:32Speaker 1: the past. So that's a good first step for Roger. Okay,
- 59:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you hear what Roger had to say,
- 59:38Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna use Roger Goodell as a moment
- 59:40Speaker 1: to teach because these white folks at these corporations need teaching.
- 59:44Speaker 1: Let's hear it. We the National Football League, condemn racism
- 59:48Speaker 1: and the systematic oppression of black people. We the National
- 59:52Speaker 1: Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to
- 59:54Speaker 1: NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and
- 59:58Speaker 1: peacefully protests. Read the National Football League believe black lives matter.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: I personally protest with you and want to be part
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: of the much needed change in this country. Without black players,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: there would be no National Football League, and the protests
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality,
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: and oppression of black players, coaches, fans, and staff. We
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: are listening. I am listening, and I will be reaching
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: out to players who have raised their voices and others
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: on how we can improve and go forward for a
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: better and more united NFL family. Well, the first player
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: he has to reach out to is Kylin Kaepernick. If
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: he doesn't do that, it's a half ass apology. You
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: have to personally apologize to Kylin Kaepernick. You also have
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: to admit that he was blackballed. And if it wasn't
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: a strategic intentional black ball when they noticed no owners
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: were attempting to sign him, nobody at the top intervene
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: to say that's wrong. Make sure he plays. Okay, I
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: got a question for the NFL. How many black people
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: on the Board of directors of the NFL. There's only
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: one black GM in the NFL. The NFL got three
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: black coaches, zero black owners, but players make up over
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: seven deep percent of the league. Seven percent of the league,
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: but zero percent of the ownership. If you want to
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: dismant to white supremacy, you want to change systemic racism,
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: how about this mantle that good old boy mentality in
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: the NFL. Roger Goodell not to mention, I don't like
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: people getting no lightbulb moments in the NFL because Colin
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: Kaepernick rarely talks. But he talked at the beginning of
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: this peaceful protests a few years ago, and he told
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: you exactly why he was protesting. So no way Roger
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Goodell or anyone else in the NFL could have missed that.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Let's hear what Colin had to say for a million time,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: because I finally think y'all are listening. I mean, ultimately
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: is to bring awareness and make people, you know, realize
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: what's really going on in this country. There are a
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: lot of things that are going on that are unjust.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: People aren't being held accountable for and that's something that
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: needs to change. That's something that you know, this country
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all, and it's not
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: happening for all right now when they're significant change and
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: I feel like that flag represents who are supposed to represent,
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: and this country is representing people the way that's supposed
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: to I'll stand. There's a lot of things that need
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: to change. One specifically, it's police brutality. There's people being
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. You know, I
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: have great respect for men and women that have fought
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: for this country. I have family, I have friends that
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: have gone and fought for this country, and they fight
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: for freedom, they fight for the people, They fight for
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: liberty and justice for everyone, and that's not happening. Simple, simple,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: And for the record, if you wonder why black people
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: have a problem with patriotism, it's because we know the
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: creeds in America don't fully relate to us. Freedom, justice, equality.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: That's not fully for black people, liberty and justice for all. Nope,
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: it's liberty and justice for white folks. We know that.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: So how can you expect us to feel patriotic when
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: this country has shown us time and time again that
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: the rules for white America don't apply to Black America.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: But I'm not here to talk about that right now.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: I want to talk about the NFL and all other
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: corporations in this country. If you are a corporation screaming
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Black lives matter, screaming that you want to disman a
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: white supremacy, that you want tobol a systemic racism, or
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: then pop the hood. Let's see what's in this engine,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: because if there's no black parts underneath that engine making
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: that car go, then you are a liar. Okay. If
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: you love, if your love for blackness isn't reflected in
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: your place of business, then all these corporations are full
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: of it. Okay, your corporation is full of it. If
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: your love of so called blackness isn't reflected in your
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: place of business, all right, don't scream black lives matter
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: if you don't have a lot of black hires, okay,
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: using the hashtag black Lives matter is great? Or what
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: type of black economic opportunities are you providing for black people?
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: We don't need. I love black people. Tweets and memes
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: and videos. Those are great. They make us feel good.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: But what about things that make us actually good? Okay?
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: I love seeing massive donations. I want to see more
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: massive donation from these corporations with no scrings attached. All right,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: I'm about all that from these corporations. But if you
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: have a corporation and you know Dan Well, your business
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: doesn't reflect the Black Lives Matter stuff you're preaching, then
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: shut the f up forever. Okay. Don't let Black Lives
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: Matter turn to Black lives marketing for some of these corporations,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: because that's all it is. This is marketing and promo
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: for so many of these companies. But we're not gonna
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: let you'all tweet and just walk away. We got questions.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: How many black people work at your place of business?
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: How many black people have seen your roles in your company?
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: How many black people on your board? What did your
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: black representation look like? I personally feel like if black
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: people make up thirteen percent of the population, we should
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: have thirteen percent representation in all industries via equity ownership involvement.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: Do you have black people at your company who are
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: outperforming the white people, but the white people still make
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: more money than the black people? Why is that? Until
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: that changes in these corporations, then guess what corporations you
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: are still practicing systemic racism? Period. Please give these corporations
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: and Roger Goodell the biggest he Hall. You can't even
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: use the term unconscious bias no more. You can't use
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: that term anymore because you are awake. You are conscious.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: You are very aware of what's happening out here in
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: these creeks, and you want to change things simply look
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: at your highest simplest that white America. All right, well,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: thank you for that donkey today. Oh, yes, ma'am, thank you, brother, Yes, ma'am,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: thank you brother. What is that? What is that? I
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: was trying to confuse you. That's all doing a good job.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: All right. When we come back, we have three brothers
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: that are calling in there from the Black Man Survival Guy.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: We have Phil Agnew, Steve Pargett, and Teff All right,
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: we'll talk to him when we come back to Don't Move.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, DJ
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: Club on the phone, LUNs Right now, we got some
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: brothers from the Black Men Survival guid. We have Phil Agnew,
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Steve Pargett and to God damn it, we need that
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: right now. Tell us what that is. The initiative is
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: called black Men Build, and Black Men Build is a
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: place for Black men and engage in the world as
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: an organized force this year and moving forward, and so
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: under the realization that black men face we say a
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: million ways to die in this country, from natural disease
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: to unnatural disease. Right, the Survival Guide is what we're
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: gonna be hitting the streets with beginning next week and
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: moving on. And we're officially launching on Monday. So can
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: you tell us how the Survival Guy was put together?
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: I'm interested to hear just the whole process of it.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: Over the past couple of months, there's been over a
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: dozen black men you know. Black Men Bill represents a
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: wide group of us that our community, organizers, artists, creatives
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: and people that are coming together to grapple with issues
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: that are challenging black men today. And you know, we
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: started this project in the midst of COVID, So we
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: began by putting together a guide for community safety while
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: we're facing a global health pandemic um well at the
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: same time, we know that we're dealing with a number
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: of different issues, including police violence. So the Black Men
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: Survival Guide is, uh, you know, a lot of painstaking
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: work by brothers that are coming together to put together
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: something that could be really useful in this time where
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: we're not only facing a pandemic of you know, health
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: and economic but also police violence. So you know what
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: you're going to see when we put out the Survival
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: Guide is a guide that talks about how we can
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: be safe during COVID, but it also talks about our
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: mental and spiritual wellness and community defense and safety because
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: in times like right now, all that we have is
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: us in our communities and we're trying to get on
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: one accord right now, what do you think the building
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: blocks are for the perfect plant to achieve unity and
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: equality and frost verity for black people in America. I
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: think in our case, what we're trying to achieve is
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: just a little bit of alignment. Um. I think a
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: lot of times why a lot of projects like this
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: fail is because people let the brothers that put it
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: together that the people Martin Luther Kingdom or Malcolm X them,
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: and you start to try to play a performative role,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: a theatrical role that that doesn't service the people. Know yourself.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: So I think, with us, what we're trying to do,
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: we're not trying to come at it and say that
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: we did all the alchemy and the political science worthy
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: of solving the equation. We're just saying it with some
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: black men who came together that are at least trying,
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: and we're inviting other black men across the plethora of identities,
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: from the Moors to the Hebrews, from the flat Earthers
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: to the the universe doesn't exist. I went all of us.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: We understand man, that there's like so many different universes
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: which your brothers coexist and all all too often when
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: we try to come together, our identity filibuses to plant.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: So we're just saying, hey, we want some aligns. Now.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: It's not it shouldn't just be about survival though, right
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: It's a shame that we have to think about just surviving,
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: because it should be about thriving also, And I think
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: it sucks that you have to teach kids now how
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: to go out and even be able to come back home.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: You know, that's a day and age that we live in,
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: and some people don't understand that. I was telling the
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: story about a comedian, a stand up comic who was
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: talking about Dave Chappelle and how Dave Chappelle had to
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: explain to a white woman in the audience about police
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: brutality because some people just don't understand it. You know.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: We interviewed Russia Limbaugh the other day and he doesn't
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: think that white supremacism exists. So what do you say
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: about not just surviving but also thriving. Do you think
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: that we first have to start with just even being
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: able to make it home? You know, I mean first
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: and foremost. I don't think anything that Russia Limball says
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: occupies any space in our mind right because Russia Limball
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: has a particular purpose in the world. He occupies a
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: space in world that is about convincing the world that
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: we gaslighting all of us, right, that what we experience historically,
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: what we experience every day when we leave the house
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: is not real. So it is sad and to look
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: that we got to start with survival. But we are
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: of the belief that when we start with an alignment right,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: with an understanding of the current context and conditions that
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: we're all living under right, that no matter what you
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: believe in the world, whether it's flatter, whether you believe
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: that we are the original man, which we are, but
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: whatever your belief is, we all live in the country
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: that says, no matter what you believe in your head,
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: what I see it in my eyes on your skin
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: is deadly. And so we wanted to start at a
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: place where we say, yeah, it is survival, but we
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: are getting on the same page so we can engage
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: in the world as an organized force. And right now,
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: the Russia umballs the white supremacists of the world. They
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: benefit from us being scattered on the sidelines watching while
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: the world is moving right, we're being used as pawns.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: The black men are being used as pawns right against ourselves,
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: against our lovers, against our wives, against our communities. And
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: so this is an insertion in the world that says, look,
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: let's get on the same page about where we stand
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: right about where we are, and then let's plot on
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: how we move forward from here. How do we get
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: on that same page? Well, real quick, the first thing
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: we're sending out on we've been sending it out for
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: the whole week, is our value statement. Right. We believe
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: that a core of any organization, whether it be n Y,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: whether it be a street organization, whether it be a church,
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: as we start to agree on what our values are right,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: And so we've been sending around that link it right now,
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: we got over a thousand people black men who have
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: signed onto the values. And once you built that core
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: of values, then you can move forward because at least
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: there's a trust built that says, at least I know
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: that this brother next to me, it sees the world
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: and values the world and the way that I do.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: And so we've been sending that out and we want
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: and encourage brothers to go to that link to be
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: able to sign onto the value statement. That's the first step.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: It's interesting what you say, because like Donald Trump is
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: trying to make a play to black men, like you know,
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: you know, he knows he doesn't have a shot with
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: it with the queens, but he's trying to make a
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: play for black men in November. Why why do you
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: think that? Why you think he's talking in black men specifically,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been had a plan for black men
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: for twenty thirty years. He's ingratiated himself in the hip
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: hop culture. He puts forward a level of masculinity and
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: gangsterism that a lot of black men who grow up
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: in America they love that. They love the fact that
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: he runs and he moves the way that he does.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: And not least of which, the Democratic Party has never
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: offered a viable option for black for the black community.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: And so for me, what Donald Trump represents that somebody
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: who has done a focus group on black men for
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: twenty thirty years, through TV, through music, through his public persona,
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: and he believes that black men aren't critical thinkers enough.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's not that he respects black men.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: He believes that black men are foolhardy enough to believe
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: that his personal persona, it's actually going to get them
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: to vote against their self, enterest vote against black women,
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: vote against the black community, vote against their kids. And
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: so I think that's the central thing. It's based on
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: the fundamental belief that black men are fools and that
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: all we care about is all we care about is money, right,
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: and that's and those are the things. All we care
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: about is braggadocio and that's what he tries to represent.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: And so it's important for us to make sure that
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: we are not used as pawns against ourselves and against
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: our people like we have been. And now all of
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: us is bad. That's you know, we wouldn't be doing
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: this if we thought that. But the fact is, we
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: have to engage in the world as an organized force.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: We've got to unite in a way that we have
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: not in a generation. All Right, we got more with
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: Phil Agnew Steve Pargett in tenth when we come back,
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: So don't move. It's to Breakfast Club comornis morning. Everybody
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomne the God. We all
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Now. We got some brothers from the
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: Black Men Survival Guy joining us this morning, Phil Agnew,
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: Steve Pargett inteff. What kind of conversations are you guys
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: having behind the scenes when it comes to voting in
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: the upcoming election. We gotta do what we gotta do.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: I'm gonna steal something from our sister Dereka Purnell, who's
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: an incredible writer, a lawyer, comes out of Ferguson. This
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: is the last dance. We gotta do what we gotta
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: do this year. Our strategy as a black people for
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: the next generation cannot afford to have four more years
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: of Donald Trump running amuck in our country. Right on
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: the other side, you have somebody who doesn't offer that
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: much greater, but it's a different terrain. And we cannot
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: continue to not think critically and say that these two
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: people are the same. And you all, I think to
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: a degree at least Charlemagne, you know where I stand
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: on the Democrats as well, right, But we also cannot
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: fool ourselves, Angela into believing that these two people present
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: the same terrain for us to operate on. And the
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: candidate over on the other side, who I'm not gonna say,
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: neither one of their names, but the candidate on the
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: other side of Donald of the Republican candidate, provides a
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: different terrain for us to operate and for us to
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: organize on. And it's the last dance. It's the last
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: time that we're going to engage in an election nationally locally, statewide,
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: if we're organized that we're going to have to choose
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: between that and that. Yeah, I think that we can't
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: afford four more years of white supremacy. And I think
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: that one of the candidates, one of the candidates, if
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: pushed and if black people make demands, would be willing
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: to go in there and dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy.
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: I think the voting is just one part of these
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: are the conversations that we're having. The voting is just
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: one part of the political process. We know that it's
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: not everything, but it's also not nothing. It's something that
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: we have to use to prevent the worst of what's
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: been seen by our people. And I think that what
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: we see in the streets all around the country, with
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: protests happening in fifty states and eighteen countries around the
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: world right now, is a representation of another piece of
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: the fight that we have to do. You know, with
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: all these people in the streets are creating a moment
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: that not only with people that are risking and putting
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: their bodies on the line and calling for police to
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: be defunded and stopping jails from being built and being expanded.
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: Right now that it's creating a moment that organizers, regular
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: people are being able to represent Black people's identities and
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: beliefs and demands in boardrooms, in the entertainment industry, in
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: the creative world, in athletics, and all these different organizations
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: are being forced to make statements that support black people.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: And I think that this is just a really impressive
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: and important I'm so inspired by this moment that's happening
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: because Black people are fighting in a lot of different
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: ways right now, and we know that voting is one
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: of those ways that we're going to fight. I feel
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: like that's just what this moment represents, especially us coming
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: together from different factions and different back walks of life.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: We're coming to a point where we're saying, look, man like,
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: we understand that it takes some sophistication in order to
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: move forward. And all too often when people do talk
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: about voting, the conversation isn't sophisticated. So you have to
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: think about voting as if it's just one peg of
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: the wheel of what we need to do. But just
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: because you vote doesn't mean that you're ultimately politicized. It
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: just means that you went to vote. There's the entire
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: process that you need to carry out after that in
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: terms of even like managing your political identity and your
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: thoughts about how you can moving through the United States
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: of America. And a lot of people like to say
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: that they stay out of politics, especially like in the
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: music industry and you know, entertainment at large. And where
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: I differ from my brother Steve when he said about
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: the statements is that I enjoy seeing the statements. But
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: we've been getting a lot of statements from a lot
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: of these people for years and nothing has happened. So
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: for me, it's really about the action. It's really about
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: I see black millionaires on television using the language of
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: the movement, will tap in with the movement for real.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: Then you know what I'm saying. Last night, my little
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: cousin was shot in Saint Louis. Athlete by the name
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: of Darius Houston was shot at a funeral in front
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: of his mama. So when y'all talking like so we
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: really from the soil, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: that pain is real. I had to wake up and
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: get on camera to talk to y'all, going that I
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: really couldn't even pull myself together this point, so to
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: me voting whatever, man, you know, we're gonna do what
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: we gotta do. It's a tool that we're gonna use
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: to march up the field. But once we get to
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: a certain point in the field, we're gonna pull out
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: other tools. We got a lot of different things in
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: the bag, and this is just the moment where we're
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: at right now. We just want to engage in the
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: process as an organized sport, and then we can engage
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: with some negotiations with them, right. And I do agree
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: with with Charlomagne and Brother Test said. I think we
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: do have a particular opportunity if Joe Biden is smart.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: He knows that he is one of the weakest Democratic
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: candidates in recent memory, and he knows that he cannot
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: continue to move in a way that continues to oxtracize
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: black people and black men. Right absolutely not black women.
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: They already showed him that. And so we gotta organize
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: and we gotta be there as an organized sports I
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: like that. It's my type of conversation. Thank you. Where
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: can people find all this information online so they know

- 1:19:40Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club, it's about report Report with Angela y
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club. Yeah, so YouTube. They had a
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: virtual commencement ceremony and Beyonce spoke the Obama's folk. It
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: actually was supposed to be on June sixth, but they
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: moved that date in honor of George Floyd's memorial service,
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: and then they moved it to June seventh, so that
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: happened their class of twenty twenty. And here is what
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: Beyonce had to say about the music industry and all
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: the biases there. The entertainment business is still very sexist,
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: and as a woman, I did not see enough female
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: role models. Given the opportunity to do what I knew,
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: I had to do to run my label and management company,
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: to direct my films and produce my tours. That meant ownership.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: Not enough black women had a seat at the table,
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: so I had to go and chop down that wood
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: and build my own table. Then I had to invite
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: the best there was to have a seat. That meant
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: hiring women, men, outsiders, underdogs, people that were overlooked and
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: waiting to be seen. In addition, yes, she also talked
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: about the LGBTQ community. To all those who feel different,
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: if you're part of a group that's called other, a
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: group that does not get the chance to be center stage,
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: build your own stage and make them see you. Your
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: queerness is beautiful, Your blackness is beautiful. Your compassion, your understanding,
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: your fight for people who may be different from you
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: is beautiful. I hope you continue to go into the
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: world and show them that you will never stop being yourself,
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: that it's your time now make them see you. I
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: have a pinket Smith went free nose. Carter just thought
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: I would say that, Okay, and congratulations to Raymond Santana
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: and Delicious. They actually got married over the weekend. You know,
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: Raymond Santana Junior as one of the Central Park five
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: men who was exonerated, and the two of them have
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: been dating for a while now, and it looks like
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: they finally got married. They said he had to put
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: down a whole bunch of money because they had to
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: shut down the whole place in Georgia. And you know,
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: they were engaged for six months and they had to
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: make sure that no one else could come in there. Whatever, whatever,
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: But you know, happy for them that they made it happens.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: Theous man salute the y'all. Wow, I didn't know what
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: they're getting married? Dope, Yes, Lauren order SVU. They said
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: the upcoming episodes will cover coronavirus and George Floyd's murder. Now,
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: they said, there are ways we will find our way
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: into tell the story. Presumably our cops will still be
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: trying to do the right thing, but it's going to
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: be harder for them, and they're going to understand why
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: it's hard for them. They said that how coronavirus impacted
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: New York City would be a topic of conversation in
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: the upcoming season. And they said, we can't make every
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: episode about a bad cop. Olivia makes mistakes, but she's
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: empathetic which is what I think separates the Cops and
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: our television show from a lot of what we're seeing
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: these days on our live streams. They've also bought on
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: new writers to bring in new voices, fresh voices, different
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: voices as well. Yeah, I did read that what film
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: production is going to start TV and film production will
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: start back in California on June twelfth. I think I
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: read yeah, So do they open the opening things up immediately?
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: People need? I just read that. I mean, I know
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: you can still shoot in Atlanta and other places, so
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: I don't mean I don't know where they're shooting that,
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: but who knows? All right now, Carl Crawford has been
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: ordered to stay away from his ex girlfriend and also
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: stay away from drinking. A Texas judge has ordered that
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: after a woman who said he choked her and pointed
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: his gun at her. That has happened allegedly, and so
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: now he has in order to submit to drug tests,
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: he has to stay in the Houston area, he can't
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: access weapons, and he can't be anywhere around his alleged victim.
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: So they're saying there's probable cause that suggested alcohol was
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: a factor in this offense and cops are saying after
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: they arrested him, that she's accusing him of assaulting her
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: back in May. So they had been in a two
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: and a half year relationship that recently ended. He told
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: her he wanted to talk and come to her house,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: and she said once he arrived, he brandised his gun
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: and began walking toward her menacingly. All right, And I
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: don't know if you guys had a chance to watch this.
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: There was a lot of great things on television last night,
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: and one of them was on ESPN B like water.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: Did y'all watch the ESPN thirty for thirty about Bruce Lee?
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: I didn't see it. No Bruce Lee. Yeah, it wasn't
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: her last night. Wow, I didn't see no promo for that.
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: Watch ESPN every day. I don't remember seeing it. Was
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: very screening for it, like last month too. Wow. I
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: gotta check that up. Yeah. So it was pretty amazing
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: and Rizza actually did a song for it, a new
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: song and a visual for that as well, So make
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: sure you guys check that out. Speaking of and speaking
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: of new songs, Takashi six nine has linked up with
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: Akon for a Locked Up Part two. You guys remember
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: that Akon had says that he planned to work with
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: Takashi once he came home. Well, he definitely has, and
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: now there's pictures of the two of them in the
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: studio together, and so it's gonna be revised. You can
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: hear a little bit of that right here and listen
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: to this. But who daughter come? A lot of people
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: mad at Acon for that one, in particular Tory Lanes.
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: He said, so, what y'all telling me is a core
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: the locked Up remix sample to someone else and not me.
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: I'm going back to bed man. Yeah, he tried to
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: play the record for his mixtape and it seemed like
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: it didn't happen. And then you saw a Spectacular said
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: you should have just stole it, like grind on me
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: and your body? Why stop now? Well, he couldn't stole
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: it was released. If it was released, he couldn't have
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: stole it. They had to get the clearances and everything
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: if they released it on streaming services on that, so
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: it couldn't have been stolen. Tory Lanes responded to Spectacular
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: and said, stole what? Actually, I bought the rights from
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: whoever signed you and publishes your music. But I guess
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: you weren't a part of that conversation. Go staring someone's
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: eyes and rub on someone's thighs and leave me out
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: of this one. Good night, and Spectacular responded. Ever since
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: you got that new hairline, you've been acting different. Last
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: time I checked, I owned my own masters. What type
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: of bootleg business you running? You acting like Virgil? Not
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: keeping it two Virgils. You know what really bothers me
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: about that whole ACN situation is the fact that they
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: were sitting so close to each other with no mask on.
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: What happened to social distancing? Why aren't people caring about
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: if you realize that nobody's really talking about Corona? Or
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: I don't even think a lot of people care anymore? Like, yeah,
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: I don't know what I honestly don't know. The clubs
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: have been open in certain areas, the restaurant has been open,
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: people have been together. Stage four. Are we checking for fevers?
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: Nobody cares anymore about transmissions? Is Corona still airborne? Does
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: it still live on surfaces? What the hell happened to
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: Corona that you can just be sitting in the studio
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: with somebody with no mask on, staring into each other's
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: eyes and rubbing each other's thighs. That's the only part
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: you here. You just wanted to say that part again.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: That's all you wanted to do is say that part again.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: They did not rub each other's thighs. That's what Charlomagne wants.
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: All right. Well, let me angela yea, And that is
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: your rumor report. Coronavirus might be the only thing that
