Speaker 1: had an impromptu meeting in the bubble yesterday to talk

5:22
Speaker 1: Bron wanted to clarify that he didn't say it's a boycott.
5:26
Speaker 1: Here's what point guard George Hill had to say for
5:29
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. When we take the court and represent
5:31
Speaker 1: Milwaukee in Wisconsin, we are expected to play at a
5:34
Speaker 1: high level, give maximum effort to hold each other accountable.
5:38
Speaker 1: We hold ourselves to that standard, and in this moment,
5:40
Speaker 1: we are demanding the same from lawmakers and law enforcement.
5:44
Speaker 1: We are calling for justice for Jacob Blake and demand
5:47
Speaker 1: the officers be held accountable. For this to occur, it
5:50
Speaker 1: is imperative for the Wisconsin State Legislator to reconvene after
5:54
Speaker 1: months of inaction and take the meaningful measures to address
5:58
Speaker 1: issues of police accountability. The talented a criminal justice reform. Yeah,
6:05
Speaker 1: they said it ahead, go ahead, now, they said. The
6:10
Speaker 1: Lakers and Clippers have voted not to continue the NBA season,
6:12
Speaker 1: so they don't even want to come back. They like, yeah,
6:14
Speaker 1: they don't want to continue. There they're those are the
6:16
Speaker 1: only two teams so far that but yesterday all those
6:20
Speaker 1: teams boycotted, like you know, the Bucks boycotted, you know,
6:23
Speaker 1: the Lakers boycotted, the Clipper boycotted, Thunder boycotted, the Rocket boycotted.
6:26
Speaker 1: The w NBA teams boycotted. Two baseball teams boycotted. It's
6:29
Speaker 1: a boycott, right, It was more than two Major League
6:33
Speaker 1: Baseball teams. They were actually three games, um and then
6:36
Speaker 1: also Major League Soccer. So w NBA teams now here
6:40
Speaker 1: is a w NBA player, and she's actually speaking for
6:43
Speaker 1: the entire w NBA. Elizabeth Williams from the Atlanta Dream.
6:46
Speaker 1: The consensus is to not play in to night's lative
6:48
Speaker 1: games and to nil lock arms and race fists during
6:52
Speaker 1: the national anthem. We stand in solidarity with our brothers
6:55
Speaker 1: in the NBA, and we'll continue this conversation with our
6:59
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters across all leagues and luck to take
7:01
Speaker 1: collective action. What we have seen over the last few
7:04
Speaker 1: months and most recently with the brutal police shooting of
7:07
Speaker 1: Jacob Blake is overwhelming, and while we hurt for Jacob
7:10
Speaker 1: and his community, we also have an opportunity to keep
7:14
Speaker 1: the focus on the issues and demand change. Yeah, I mean,
7:17
Speaker 1: boycotting is a hell of a statement. I like to
7:19
Speaker 1: stand there taking You just got to make sure it's
7:21
Speaker 1: a plan, make sure us to call the action. You know,
7:23
Speaker 1: what do you do next? What are your demands? My man,
7:25
Speaker 1: doctor Weis Bellamy said last night that you know, now
7:27
Speaker 1: that we have folks attention, let's go after policy change.
7:30
Speaker 1: Let's collectively call for the end of qualified immunity in
7:33
Speaker 1: the reallocation of resources within those state, local and federal
7:36
Speaker 1: police budgets, and I think, you know, in Milwaukee, the
7:39
Speaker 1: Bucks and the Brewers, they should ask for full transparency
7:42
Speaker 1: and the investigation, and they should push for him to
7:44
Speaker 1: fire and arrest the police. And on the national level,
7:47
Speaker 1: people could you know, push to make the Senate past
7:49
Speaker 1: to George Floyd Policing Act, you know. I just I
7:51
Speaker 1: just hope those brothers and sisters that are boycott in
7:54
Speaker 1: a building with folks who are already on the ground,
7:56
Speaker 1: you know, doing the work, so they can decide how
7:58
Speaker 1: to collectively take action. Now, Kenny Smith walked off the
8:02
Speaker 1: inside the NBA set and that was so his support
8:04
Speaker 1: for the NBA player boycotts. I haven't talked to any
8:07
Speaker 1: of the players. I'm just like coming in, even like
8:09
Speaker 1: driving here and getting into into the studio, hearing calls
8:14
Speaker 1: and people talking. And for me, I think the biggest
8:18
Speaker 1: thing now is to kind of as a black man,
8:21
Speaker 1: as a former player, I think it's best for me
8:24
Speaker 1: to support the players and just not be here tonight
8:28
Speaker 1: and figure out what happens after that. All good. Just
8:32
Speaker 1: make sure you have a plan. Just make sure as
8:34
Speaker 1: a call to action, you know, make sure some some
8:37
Speaker 1: demands on the table, you know, We're not going to
8:39
Speaker 1: play unless X, Y and Z happens, you know. And
8:42
Speaker 1: like I said, I hope that that they're all building
8:44
Speaker 1: with people that's already on the ground doing the work
8:46
Speaker 1: to figure out how to collectively take action. Charles Barkley,
8:49
Speaker 1: Shaquale O'Neill and Ernie Johnson did finish the show without him.
8:54
Speaker 1: All right, well, that is your front page news, and
8:56
Speaker 1: we'll get into a lot more in the next hour
8:58
Speaker 1: as well. We'll give you some more updates on what's
9:01
Speaker 1: going on in Wisconsin. All right, get it off your chests.
9:05
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If
9:07
Speaker 1: you need to vent, call us up right now. Phone
9:10
Speaker 1: lines to wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five
9:12
Speaker 1: one five one. It's the Breakfast Clucal morning, the Breakfast Club.
9:19
Speaker 1: This is your time to get it off your chest.
9:21
Speaker 1: Whether you're man, Thank you from you on the Breakfast Club.
9:25
Speaker 1: You got something on your mind? Let out hello, who's
9:29
Speaker 1: this man? What's happening in Duenna? Get it off your chests, brother, man.
9:37
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the NBA and how
9:42
Speaker 1: they stood together, man, and how dope it was. Man.
9:46
Speaker 1: Just to see everybody on one the court or for
9:49
Speaker 1: the most part, and to stand up and say this,
9:52
Speaker 1: like they said, is bigger than basketball, you know what
9:54
Speaker 1: I mean. M you just gotta make sure they got
9:57
Speaker 1: a plan moving forward though, That's all. Yeah, make sure
9:59
Speaker 1: that they can make sure they connected with people on
10:02
Speaker 1: the ground and figure out how to collectively take action
10:04
Speaker 1: and really push for some sort of change. So let
10:07
Speaker 1: me ask you, Charlottmgagne, what type of plans would you
10:10
Speaker 1: have in store. Well, you know, my man doctor west Bellamy,
10:14
Speaker 1: he said something last night that I liked a lot.
10:16
Speaker 1: He said, you know, we can collectively call for the
10:18
Speaker 1: end of qualified immunity and the reallocation of resources within
10:22
Speaker 1: like the local, state and federal police budgets. I personally
10:26
Speaker 1: think that the Brewers in Milwaukee and the Bucks in Milwaukee,
10:29
Speaker 1: they should ask for full transparency and the investigation of
10:31
Speaker 1: the brother who got shot several times in the back,
10:34
Speaker 1: and they should push for them to fire and arrest
10:36
Speaker 1: the police like right now. And on the national level,
10:39
Speaker 1: you know, we can collectively push to probably make the
10:42
Speaker 1: Senate pastor George Floyd Policing Act. You know, that's the
10:46
Speaker 1: that's the that's the build at the house. It pushed
10:48
Speaker 1: to the house a couple months ago. But of course
10:50
Speaker 1: the Senate ain't pushing it through. But those are the
10:52
Speaker 1: things I think we should be collectively push it for now. Yeah,
10:54
Speaker 1: and I don't want them to forget about Brianna Taylor
10:59
Speaker 1: as we see and all that. Yeah, all that's in
11:02
Speaker 1: the enjoy for policing. Start stop, knock on warrants. The
11:06
Speaker 1: thing is is we can scream, we can cry, we
11:09
Speaker 1: can yell, we can fight, we can kick. But the
11:11
Speaker 1: problem is is it has to be an investigation, no
11:14
Speaker 1: matter what it is, it has to be an investigation
11:16
Speaker 1: right before anything really goes to tryal or the goals
11:18
Speaker 1: to court, any of those things. I feel we need
11:21
Speaker 1: an outside investigator. We can't keep using the same investigators
11:24
Speaker 1: that work for the companies that were investigate. That makes
11:26
Speaker 1: no sense that the police. I always wonder about that.
11:29
Speaker 1: I don't know can the police do that? Can the
11:30
Speaker 1: police have outside investigations? But that's what I don't know.
11:33
Speaker 1: Who we need? Yeah, they can do that. The same
11:34
Speaker 1: thing if if somebody up here on the breakfast club
11:36
Speaker 1: doesn't they say okay, MV you investigate, Okay, yeah, like
11:39
Speaker 1: I'm gonna investigate on somebody I've worked with all this
11:41
Speaker 1: time that I might know that I might have passed
11:43
Speaker 1: through like and you would love to do Cavity searches
11:46

11:47
Speaker 1: where he would start the investigation. Always play see you,
11:50
Speaker 1: always play thank you brother for caller man seeking. That's
11:54
Speaker 1: the first thing that you think about, hunt Cavity search man,

Speaker 1: he really leaving though, because I listened to that whole
16:15
Speaker 1: rant yesterday and at the end he was like, hopefully
16:18
Speaker 1: we can talk today Spotify. Hopefully we can. He's ramping up.
16:23
Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of like, you know when when
16:25
Speaker 1: you're in an argument with your girl or ladies, you're
16:27
Speaker 1: in an argument with your man, and he'd be like,
16:29
Speaker 1: I word, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, And then when you
16:31
Speaker 1: walk out the door, you really ain't got nowhere to go,
16:32
Speaker 1: so you're really just about to come back in the house.
16:34
Speaker 1: But you just gotta gotta watch You gotta watch it
16:38
Speaker 1: you say on the way out, because you might say
16:39
Speaker 1: something that makes that person say, well you know what gone,
16:42
Speaker 1: then do so you can't get back in, he said.
16:46
Speaker 1: I mean, he said, I can't tell you where it
16:47
Speaker 1: will be, but I can tell you where it will
16:49
Speaker 1: not be, and that is Spotify. And he said that
16:52
Speaker 1: he has seven more episodes of the podcast that will
16:55
Speaker 1: be released there now. Spotify did not comment when they
16:58
Speaker 1: were asked for comments. But he's supposed but I mean,
17:01
Speaker 1: that's what he's supposed to do. I don't know IF's
17:02
Speaker 1: supposed to do it on his podcast, but that's what
17:04
Speaker 1: he's supposed to do. He's supposed to tell everybody's leaving
17:06
Speaker 1: to other people out there know that he's leaving and
17:08
Speaker 1: could possibly give him an offer. Um, I didn't hear
17:11
Speaker 1: the podcast, but you know I did. I listened to
17:14
Speaker 1: the whole thing, not the whole podcast that I listen to,
17:16
Speaker 1: that whole rantum and starting around a sixty four minute mark.
17:18
Speaker 1: But I mean, it sounds to me like Joe Budden
17:21
Speaker 1: is a person who knows his worth but doesn't know
17:24
Speaker 1: how to properly negotiate it. Because if you keep doing
17:27
Speaker 1: deals with various corporations and you keep getting trash ass
17:30
Speaker 1: deals that's on you, like things like vacation days, bonuses,
17:35
Speaker 1: all of that has to be negotiated in your contract
17:37
Speaker 1: from the beginning. But that but that shouldn't be as
17:40
Speaker 1: manager or is an agent or is it attorney? You know,
17:43
Speaker 1: shouldn't they be looking out for its best interest, especially
17:45
Speaker 1: somebody who's done this rodeo before that knows that. I mean,
17:47
Speaker 1: I know, my attorney has been through this before, so
17:49
Speaker 1: she's helped a lot, and you know, shouldn't it be that, like,
17:53
Speaker 1: you know, there's going certain things that I might not
17:54
Speaker 1: know to ask for, but that's what I pay her for, right. Yeah.
17:58
Speaker 1: And also too, when I hear when I heard Joe
18:01
Speaker 1: like comparing his show to like, you know, Spotify signing
18:04
Speaker 1: gimblet for hundreds of millions and the Ringer for hundreds
18:06
Speaker 1: of millions in power caps one hundreds of millions, I
18:09
Speaker 1: think it's very important to note that they got that
18:11
Speaker 1: money from Spotify because there are actual networks with tons
18:14
Speaker 1: of IP Those networks have a bunch of shows and
18:17
Speaker 1: other content, a bunch of staff that knows how to
18:19
Speaker 1: make those shows. You can't compare your one show to
18:21
Speaker 1: a whole network. Yeah, but one of the biggest it's
18:24
Speaker 1: one of the biggest podcasts out there. And and I
18:27
Speaker 1: don't want to say urban our think not he should
18:30
Speaker 1: be getting a lot more money than he's getting. I'm
18:32
Speaker 1: not saying. I'm not saying he shouldn't get a lot
18:34
Speaker 1: of money. What I'm simply saying is you can have
18:36
Speaker 1: the number one show on Spotify, but one of those
18:39
Speaker 1: networks might have six shows in the top ten. You
18:42
Speaker 1: know what I mean, ten shows in the top twenty
18:44
Speaker 1: you have one. Didn't hear the podcast? How much does
18:47
Speaker 1: he say he's getting? Oh, I don't know. He didn't
18:49
Speaker 1: say numbers. He was just comparing it to the numbers
18:53
Speaker 1: that are out there for like The Ringer and you know,
18:55
Speaker 1: Gimblet and other stuff like that. But like I said,
18:57
Speaker 1: you have one hit show, but that network lad the
19:00
Speaker 1: Ringer might have ten shows that are all hits, ten
19:04
Speaker 1: shows that are all solids. So that's all I know
19:06
Speaker 1: is that if you keep, if you keep having the
19:07
Speaker 1: same issues with various companies, because it was the same
19:09
Speaker 1: thing at Complex, it's probably not them, it's probably you,
19:13
Speaker 1: Joe so Lesten to all the kids out there, you
19:15
Speaker 1: may know your worth, but you have to know how
19:18
Speaker 1: to properly negotiate it. But hey, what do I know.
19:20
Speaker 1: I'm just a man who's in the final year of
19:22
Speaker 1: his contractor my my deal is up in decembol sword,
19:25
Speaker 1: I though you're leaving, you're leaving man that they don't
19:29
Speaker 1: let me. If you don't give me one hundred million dollars.
19:31
Speaker 1: You're going outside, but you're gonna do the same, and
19:33
Speaker 1: you would never see me act like that. Now, let's
19:37
Speaker 1: talk about some important things, like Jacob Blake. Naomi Osaka
19:42
Speaker 1: has dropped out of the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, Ohio.
19:45
Speaker 1: That's her protests because of police violence. Twenty two years
19:49
Speaker 1: old Tennis Superstars. She was scheduled to be in the
19:52
Speaker 1: semifinals today at eleven am, but she posted a note
19:55
Speaker 1: announcing her decision to not play, and she said watching
19:59
Speaker 1: the continued inside of black people at the hand of
20:01
Speaker 1: the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach.
20:04
Speaker 1: She said, before I am an athlete, I am a
20:06
Speaker 1: black woman, and as a black woman, I feel as
20:09
Speaker 1: though there are much more important matters at hand that
20:11
Speaker 1: need immediate attention rather than watching me play tennis. I
20:14
Speaker 1: don't expect anything drastic to happen with me not playing,
20:17
Speaker 1: but if I can get a conversation started in a
20:19
Speaker 1: majority white sport, I consider that a step in the
20:22
Speaker 1: right direction. Trump want to cludes bons to that young lady.
20:25
Speaker 1: You know, I respect to listen. I respect all the boycotting,
20:28
Speaker 1: you know, like I said earlier, though, just make sure
20:30
Speaker 1: it's a plan behind it. Make sure it's a call
20:32
Speaker 1: to action. Make sure you got some demands like what
20:34
Speaker 1: are you gonna do next? Connect with people that are
20:36
Speaker 1: already on the ground, you know, doing that work, so
20:38
Speaker 1: you can collectively come up with a plan of action.
20:40
Speaker 1: This we got some black leverage right now. You got
20:42
Speaker 1: to use it. But just just know what you're doing.
20:44
Speaker 1: That's all right, all right, And Lamella Ball is finalizing
20:48
Speaker 1: his endorsement deal with Puma now. Apparently he'll be the
20:53
Speaker 1: first of the Ball brothers to actually step outside of
20:57
Speaker 1: the big ball of brand and do a major endorsement deal.
21:00
Speaker 1: So that's that rock that's that rock Nation connection. For sure,
21:04
Speaker 1: you signed a rock Nation and you're getting this poem
21:08
Speaker 1: with deal. I love poema. That's all I wear, to
21:10
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I wear poems and I weigh
21:11
Speaker 1: easy because they're comfortable, not for you know where Jordan's hell, No,
21:16
Speaker 1: Jordan's so uncomfortable. That's why I got two corns on
21:18
Speaker 1: my baby tootles now. The ones are very all the time.
21:24
Speaker 1: I know Jodan's ato uncomfortable for me. I like I do.
21:26
Speaker 1: I think I like the fives. I think I don't
21:27
Speaker 1: know what I liked from Jordan. I don't wear Jordanes.
21:29
Speaker 1: They hurt my feet. Runs are comfortable. All right, Well
21:32
Speaker 1: I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right,
21:36
Speaker 1: thank you, miss Ye. Now we got front page. Who's
21:37
Speaker 1: coming up? What we're talking about? Yes, and we are
21:40
Speaker 1: going to discuss more about what's happening in Wisconsin. And
21:42
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about Jacob Blake and we'll talk about
21:45
Speaker 1: the teenager, the seventeen year old who was arrested and
21:49
Speaker 1: has been connected to an overnight shooting during a protest
21:53
Speaker 1: in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Really, uh, I don't even know where
21:57
Speaker 1: to start, but we'll get into it, right, we'll get
22:00
Speaker 1: into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Hey morning.
22:03
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we
22:07
Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club, Good morning. Okay, Ye's Mike, it's
22:14
Speaker 1: not now. I had to reset. Oh, I was like
22:17
Speaker 1: trying to talk to you. All right, Well, let's get
22:19
Speaker 1: in some front page news. Well, let's start in Wisconsin
22:26
Speaker 1: and Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin cop who fired seven shots
22:30
Speaker 1: into Jacob Blake's back has been identified Officer Rustin Shsky.
22:35
Speaker 1: More details from this case are being released and it's
22:38
Speaker 1: being investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of
22:41
Speaker 1: Criminal Investigation. According to the Department, they said Kenosha Police
22:45
Speaker 1: Department officers were dispatched to her residence after a female
22:48
Speaker 1: caller reported that her boyfriend was there and he was
22:51
Speaker 1: not supposed to be there. During the incident, they the
22:53
Speaker 1: police attempted to arrest him. They used the taser to
22:56
Speaker 1: try and stop him, but it did not work. Now,
22:58
Speaker 1: they said, that's when Jacob Blake walked around his vehicle,
23:02
Speaker 1: opened the driver's side door and leaned forward. Officer Seski
23:06
Speaker 1: was holding onto his shirt and fired seven shots into
23:09
Speaker 1: his back. Now, they had said that he had a knife,
23:13
Speaker 1: but there according to the report, they said a knife
23:16
Speaker 1: was recovered from the driver's side floorboard in his car.
23:19
Speaker 1: So they said there was no way he had that
23:21
Speaker 1: knife in his possession because it wasn't even close to
23:26
Speaker 1: him when he was shot in the back. So they
23:28
Speaker 1: said no other weapons were found in his car either.
23:31
Speaker 1: I saw him say that yesterday during the present ofference.
23:35
Speaker 1: Did he admitted he had a knife And how did
23:38
Speaker 1: that justify two police officers shooting this young man in
23:42
Speaker 1: the back. Right now, if he had a knife and
23:44
Speaker 1: he was swinging a knife at the officers, then that's
23:45
Speaker 1: a different situation. But we didn't see that. And this
23:48
Speaker 1: is the thing, right, this young man, he wasn't built
23:51
Speaker 1: like Arnold Schwartzenega, He wasn't diesel, he didn't look huge.
23:54
Speaker 1: Those two officers could have threw him on the floor,
23:56
Speaker 1: got him on the floor. They didn't have to shoot
23:57
Speaker 1: him eleven times. And he was such a threat. He
24:00
Speaker 1: was such a threat and they were so scared. They
24:01
Speaker 1: could have got him on the floor. It wasn't huge.
24:04
Speaker 1: It wasn't like shot shooting eleven times, and just come on, now,
24:07
Speaker 1: come on now. But they're saying the knife couldn't even
24:09
Speaker 1: have been in his possession at that time because it
24:12
Speaker 1: was too far away anyway, and from in the car.
24:16
Speaker 1: And they said he kept chasing him but that didn't work.
24:19
Speaker 1: I would look at it like this if I was
24:20
Speaker 1: chasing the man and it didn't work. Clearly, God don't
24:23
Speaker 1: want me to have this individual, so let the man go.
24:25
Speaker 1: But isn't that crazy? It seems you see all these
24:27
Speaker 1: cases where they chased somebody and tases and not working
24:30
Speaker 1: like they have to, like they gotta stop with the tastes.
24:33
Speaker 1: Then that's to tell you something all the time, like
24:35
Speaker 1: we're trying to chase him, but it didn't work. God's
24:37
Speaker 1: children alone, leave people alone from and if you ever
24:40
Speaker 1: get tailores, and if you ever get text once this
24:42
Speaker 1: last thing, and if you ever get tased, you're not
24:44
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and get tased and be like, Okay,
24:45
Speaker 1: I'm stopping. No, it shakes the issh out of you. You
24:48
Speaker 1: You want to run and get the hell out. I
24:49
Speaker 1: got tased before, and it wasn't like Okay, I'm just
24:51
Speaker 1: gonna stay here and get tased. No, you're trying to
24:53
Speaker 1: move like you want to. You want to get the
24:54
Speaker 1: f out the way, like nobody's things. I'm just gonna
24:56
Speaker 1: taste and lay here. No, it don't work like that.
24:58
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. Okay. Now, let's talk about
25:02
Speaker 1: the seventeen year old who was arrested in the connection
25:05
Speaker 1: with the shooting of three people. Two of those three
25:07
Speaker 1: people died. I didn't want to visualize that. Kyle Rittenhouse
25:12
Speaker 1: is his name, and he is from Antioch, Illinois. So
25:15
Speaker 1: he has been charged with first degree homicide over the
25:18
Speaker 1: shooting of three people at the Kenosha protest. They said
25:20
Speaker 1: he was obsessed with Blue Lives Matter and he appeared
25:23
Speaker 1: on edge before the shot to rang out here. He
25:26
Speaker 1: is doing an interview before the shooting. You're doing out here?
25:29
Speaker 1: Obviously you're armed, and you're in front of this business.
25:32
Speaker 1: We saw burning last night, So what's up? So people
25:35
Speaker 1: are getting injured and our job is to protect this business,
25:38
Speaker 1: and part of my job is alf there's somebody hurt.
25:41
Speaker 1: I'm running into harm's way. That's why i had my
25:44
Speaker 1: rescue proect myself. We don't have non league. So you
25:50
Speaker 1: guys are full. I'm ready to defend the property. Yes,
25:53
Speaker 1: we are so. He earlier in the night was standing
25:59
Speaker 1: guard with militia members outside of local businesses. Took it
26:02
Speaker 1: upon himself to do that. They said on social media,
26:05
Speaker 1: he idolized the police, he idolized guns and the Blue
26:08
Speaker 1: Lives Matter movement, and he was arrested Wednesday at his
26:11
Speaker 1: home in Antioch, Illinois, about twenty miles from Kenosha. Crazy
26:15
Speaker 1: that he was able to walk around with that rifle
26:19
Speaker 1: and nobody stopped him and actually shoot people, like behind
26:23
Speaker 1: the scenes, where was his parents? Like where was his parents,
26:27
Speaker 1: like your parents just let you go out during protesting
26:30
Speaker 1: at the age of seventeen, like seventeen old. Seventeen is yeah, seven,
26:35
Speaker 1: I know how old seventeen is. I have a nineteen
26:37
Speaker 1: year old in a sixteen year old, and he's about
26:39
Speaker 1: to be seventeen, but I know where he's at twenty
26:40
Speaker 1: four seven, and I know if they're protesting, my son's
26:43
Speaker 1: gonna be home at night. But if you're nineteen year
26:45
Speaker 1: old wanted to get up and go, he could get
26:47
Speaker 1: up and go. He's legally able to get up and
26:49
Speaker 1: go without asking you to go. Oh not in my house.
26:51
Speaker 1: I don't know how things working in other people's houses.
26:52
Speaker 1: But if that, my daughter cannot just get up and
26:54
Speaker 1: go anytime she wants. Not in mind, Yeah, but you can't. Can't.
26:58
Speaker 1: You can't control a seventeen year old. Eighteen year old
27:01
Speaker 1: you hope and wished for the best, But if he
27:03
Speaker 1: wants to go protests, he can go a protest. You
27:06
Speaker 1: can't put the blame on the parents for that. Some
27:09
Speaker 1: of it has all right now. The Kenosha Police Chief,
27:11
Speaker 1: Daniel Miss talks about the incident, and it feels like
27:16
Speaker 1: he's acting like the people who were out there protesting
27:19
Speaker 1: and who got shot and even killed. Words to blame.
27:22
Speaker 1: Listen to this. Everybody involved was out after the curfew.
27:26
Speaker 1: The CURFUSI in place to protect. Had persons not been
27:29
Speaker 1: out involved in violation of that, perhaps the situation that
27:32
Speaker 1: that unfolded would not have happened. So the last night,
27:36
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old individual from Antioch, Illinois was involved
27:40
Speaker 1: in the use of firearms to resolve whatever conflict was
27:43
Speaker 1: in place. The result of it was two people are dead.
27:47
Speaker 1: This is not a police action. This is not the
27:49
Speaker 1: action I believe, but those who set out to do protests.
27:52
Speaker 1: It is the persons who were involved after the legal time,
27:55
Speaker 1: involved in illegal activity that brought violence to this community. Well,
27:59
Speaker 1: miss the officer, just keep that same energy when folks
28:04
Speaker 1: fighting against the injustice have those same guns. Okay, because
28:07
Speaker 1: I've been telling y artists forever. When you are a
28:10
Speaker 1: black person in America, owning a legal firearm is a
28:13
Speaker 1: form of self care. If young men like Kyle gonna
28:16
Speaker 1: be out there with their weapons and you need to
28:17
Speaker 1: have yours, you got guns. We got guns. Too simple
28:20
Speaker 1: as that. That's the police chief, he's got to go.
28:26
Speaker 1: I mean, that is ridiculous. That's your statement after people
28:29
Speaker 1: got killed for protesting. Absolutely, your police officers as a
28:33
Speaker 1: man now paralyzed from the waist down. Absolutely, he's trying
28:36
Speaker 1: to say. He's simply trying to say, if you didn't
28:38
Speaker 1: follow the rules, if they would have just followed the rules,
28:41
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have got shot. Oh please keepin that is
28:48
Speaker 1: your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye.
28:50

Speaker 1: been living for the songwriter. So I started the label
30:29
Speaker 1: that was concentrating mostly on video game composers. So I
30:34
Speaker 1: started a label and a distribution company. I believe that
30:38
Speaker 1: I was the first African American who had a national
30:42
Speaker 1: distribution company that was, you know, a really solid, legit
30:46
Speaker 1: national distribution company, and we did it. We had a

31:02
Speaker 1: so many many big money. And what did you do?
31:05
Speaker 1: What was Ye's job? I was doing marketing. But I'm
31:10
Speaker 1: gonna tell you how me and now the first meeting
31:12
Speaker 1: we had, And this is so interesting because this really
31:14
Speaker 1: goes to show you the type of person now all is.
31:16
Speaker 1: So I had a meeting with him because my friend
31:19
Speaker 1: Scotty and Charles Scotti owns engine room where I record
31:22
Speaker 1: my podcast Now and Now, I was about to give
31:25
Speaker 1: a bunch of money to somebody who wanted to do
31:28
Speaker 1: some records. But that person wasn't even affiliated with the
31:30
Speaker 1: group that they claimed to be working with. So they
31:33
Speaker 1: were like, can you please go talk to Nile. I
31:35
Speaker 1: don't want him to waste his money giving it to
31:37
Speaker 1: this person. So I went to have a sit down.
31:39
Speaker 1: We ended up talking for hours, but afterwards he was like,
31:43
Speaker 1: what do you do? I kind of like your vibe
31:44
Speaker 1: And that's how I ended up working with now. Just
31:47
Speaker 1: like that, he was like, I want to get you
31:48
Speaker 1: to come work here. You know now you know you
31:51
Speaker 1: have one of the most diverse pins probably ever in music,
31:55
Speaker 1: like and one song always think about you wrote Madonna
31:58
Speaker 1: Like a Virgin. What was your inspiration to be able
32:01
Speaker 1: to write that record about such an intimate moment for
32:05
Speaker 1: a woman. Let me set the record straight. Though I
32:07
Speaker 1: didn't write Like a Virgin, I basically rewrote Like a Virgin.
32:11
Speaker 1: So basically Madonna brought in a demo and that song
32:15
Speaker 1: Like a Virgin. The demo was pretty laid out, but
32:18
Speaker 1: what I what I convinced her to do was to
32:21
Speaker 1: allow my band Sheep to play it and reinterpret it.
32:24
Speaker 1: And my reasoning was that Madonna hadn't really blown up yet,
32:28
Speaker 1: and I convinced her that if she did a purely
32:31
Speaker 1: electronic version of Like a Virgin, that it would just
32:34
Speaker 1: seem like anybody's record, but only she interprets music the
32:38
Speaker 1: way we do it, and so I convinced her to
32:40
Speaker 1: do that. And basically, with our reinterpretation, Like a Virgin
32:45
Speaker 1: had a more intimate feeling because the song to me
32:50
Speaker 1: was touching upon the subject matter that Madonna had to
32:53
Speaker 1: show me was really really important in a strange way.
32:57
Speaker 1: You're an architect of hip hop because you know, you
33:00
Speaker 1: made the Good Times record. Sugar Hill Gang sampled that
33:03
Speaker 1: for rappers The Lights, and you kind of like an
33:05
Speaker 1: architecta hip hop? Do you look at yourself in that way? No,
33:08
Speaker 1: I don't because I never want to take credit for
33:10
Speaker 1: things that I didn't do intentionally. As a matter of fact,
33:13
Speaker 1: when I saw the first time, I went to what
33:17
Speaker 1: he used to call back in the day hip hop,
33:20
Speaker 1: uh and I said, well, why do you guys call
33:22
Speaker 1: it that? They said, because he takes something hip and
33:24
Speaker 1: we hop on it. I was like, oh wow, I
33:28
Speaker 1: was like. And then I get there and I get
33:31
Speaker 1: there and the only song they were playing was good Time,
33:34
Speaker 1: playing the breakdown and dropped them good Time. So like
33:39
Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours, and there was a long
33:41
Speaker 1: line of mcs standing in line waiting to go up
33:45
Speaker 1: to the mic and drop their Ryan over the break
33:47
Speaker 1: was good Time. I'm like, damn, what is this now?
33:51
Speaker 1: Now you know what was intention know? You did also
33:53
Speaker 1: write the biggest gay anthem. I would say to dates,
34:06
Speaker 1: did you know immediately that a hit? Oh yeah, we knew,
34:09
Speaker 1: so yo and so what what? What the deal was? So?
34:13
Speaker 1: Back at that time, I was living around the corner
34:15
Speaker 1: from students to be flour. I was. I was living
34:17
Speaker 1: on tifty second Street, and the backdoor studio fifty four
34:20
Speaker 1: was on tifty third Street between Eighth Athroom and Broadway,
34:24
Speaker 1: so blocked in. But but in that part of in
34:31
Speaker 1: that part of Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen, and in Hell's Kitchen
34:34
Speaker 1: there were a lot of clubs. But there were also
34:38
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of gay and trans clubs
34:41
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood too, because it was an area called
34:43
Speaker 1: the Trucks, and so in that neighborhood there was a
34:46
Speaker 1: club called the Gigi barnem Room, and that was mainly
34:50
Speaker 1: a trans club. So this night I was club hopping
34:52
Speaker 1: and one of the stops was Gigi barnem Room, and
34:55
Speaker 1: I went to the bathroom. Um, then those days, I
34:58
Speaker 1: have to admit that I was usually when I went
35:00
Speaker 1: to the bathroom of the store, sniff. Okay, come on,
35:05
Speaker 1: that was that error. Come on, going to be ashamed though, Okay,
35:08
Speaker 1: So but every but every now and then you actually
35:11
Speaker 1: did have to use the bathroom for the purpose. I
35:16
Speaker 1: went in the bathroom and I'm standing there at the urinal,
35:19
Speaker 1: and I look on either side of me. It was
35:22
Speaker 1: at least three deep. Diana Ross impersonators. Now this is
35:26
Speaker 1: early in my career. This is summer of nineteen seventy nine,
35:29
Speaker 1: and I'm going, oh my god, the light bulb goes
35:33
Speaker 1: off my head. I think of James Brown, say a lot,
35:35
Speaker 1: I'm black and I'm proud, and I think fully gave
35:39
Speaker 1: me what I go. I gotta make a record about this.
35:43
Speaker 1: But how do I do it and fly under the radar?
35:47
Speaker 1: So at the time weep the deeper head than meaning
35:51
Speaker 1: right exactly. So I had to run outside and call
35:56
Speaker 1: my boy and say, look, write this down because I
35:59
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna out all night. I forget it, and
36:01
Speaker 1: he was a slee man, which moment I said, right down,
36:06
Speaker 1: I'm coming out based off the context of the situation.
36:15
Speaker 1: What you want to get That's exactly. That's pretty much
36:21
Speaker 1: went what went down. Then I explained the situation to
36:24
Speaker 1: him and he said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
36:27
Speaker 1: And we sat in the student we wrote it, and
36:30
Speaker 1: believe it or not, the truth is that Diana Ross
36:34
Speaker 1: had actually said that to us, not that she was
36:36
Speaker 1: coming out because she was gay. We were the only
36:39
Speaker 1: one that she had confided in that she was leaving Motown.
36:43
Speaker 1: And you know that after that record, which was her
36:46
Speaker 1: most successful album ever. We still am making huge money
36:50
Speaker 1: off that and Berry Gordy didn't believe in that record
36:53
Speaker 1: or upside down right. They remember she she thought that
36:56
Speaker 1: it was going to ruin her career. Why as not
37:00
Speaker 1: only very Gordy, but Frankie Crocker, who was the number
37:03
Speaker 1: one DJ in the world at that time, told her
37:06
Speaker 1: after he listened to the songs, you know, Dianna, this
37:09
Speaker 1: going you in your career because people are gonna think
37:11
Speaker 1: you're gay. And she says, I'm not gay. And she
37:14
Speaker 1: came back to the studio and she actually confronted us
37:18
Speaker 1: and she says, you know, why are you guys trying
37:21
Speaker 1: to ruin my career? And we said, Dan, if we
37:24
Speaker 1: ruin your career, we're going to ruin ours. And I
37:26
Speaker 1: say this, it's the only time in my life that
37:28
Speaker 1: I actually lied to an artist. I said, Diana, you know,
37:32
Speaker 1: we come from R and B music, and we have
37:34
Speaker 1: so many songs that we could play when we start
37:37
Speaker 1: our show. What do you say to your band when
37:40
Speaker 1: you get ready to come out on stage? And she
37:42
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know it, just you know, we
37:45
Speaker 1: just have ourselves as a liminocy in black music here
37:47
Speaker 1: in New York. What we do is we say, yo, guys,
37:50
Speaker 1: what's all we gonna come out with tonight? That Then
37:55
Speaker 1: when she got into it, then I got all ambitious
37:58
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, Diana to this song
38:00
Speaker 1: comes out, you will never ever in your life come
38:04
Speaker 1: out to another song. This is going to be your
38:06
Speaker 1: opening song for the rest of your life. I don't
38:09
Speaker 1: know if anybody has seen Diana Ross in the last
38:12
Speaker 1: thirty five years. If you have, she comes out to
38:15
Speaker 1: that song. We got more with now Rogers when we
38:17
Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club, Go Morning Morning.
38:20
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomne the guy. We
38:24
Speaker 1: are the breakfast club that was still kicking it with
38:26
Speaker 1: now Rogers. Now, of course he produced I'm Coming Out
38:29
Speaker 1: and wrote I'm Coming Out, but Diddy and Big had
38:31
Speaker 1: to call him to clare more money, more problems. How
38:33
Speaker 1: was that conversation? There was actually no problem. I mean
38:37
Speaker 1: did he and I I mean did he use a
38:39
Speaker 1: bunch of my songs that I've worked on me? You know,
38:42
Speaker 1: uh Notorious Yeah, yeah, yeah, Notorious and faith Record, Love
38:48
Speaker 1: Love Life this um. And there was a joke at
38:51
Speaker 1: the time and matter if I've become down with a
38:54
Speaker 1: while his producers. There was a joke at the time
38:57
Speaker 1: that any time of man into a jam, I would
38:59
Speaker 1: just go figul our Roger's record. I wonder, now, why
39:04
Speaker 1: why not just tell Diana from the beginning that Hey,
39:07
Speaker 1: this song is gonna serve a dual purpose. It's gonna
39:09
Speaker 1: be a gay anthem, and it's gonna be your coming
39:10
Speaker 1: out party from mortem, because we didn't think that that
39:14
Speaker 1: was the proper thing to do, because she had sat
39:17
Speaker 1: down and told us about her life, so we wanted
39:21
Speaker 1: to accurately represent her life. But the thing is that
39:24
Speaker 1: since we had started with Sheep, we had always had
39:28
Speaker 1: dual meanings on our songs because I came from a
39:31
Speaker 1: very political background and Bernard came from the background where
39:35
Speaker 1: they were sort of subservient. I mean, it was weird.
39:37
Speaker 1: So I knew that there was a way that as
39:40
Speaker 1: a musical artist that you could use your pen to
39:45
Speaker 1: talk about the subject on multiple levels. So Diana, we
39:49
Speaker 1: interviewed her extensively before we wrote one note of music,
39:53
Speaker 1: and that was really important. I was trying to say
39:55
Speaker 1: it earlier, you know, when we did the record of
39:57
Speaker 1: Just a slage because we had just written. The whole
40:00
Speaker 1: album was out there and they didn't even hear any
40:02
Speaker 1: demos until they got to this video and we were
40:04
Speaker 1: just finishing up the lyrics. Kathie will tell you so
40:07
Speaker 1: we are family when they walked in, and when they
40:10
Speaker 1: walked in from your album is done, just sing this
40:12
Speaker 1: and you got it. So we didn't want to Diana
40:14
Speaker 1: Rosline because Sister Sledge let us know that they felt
40:18
Speaker 1: disrespected and blah blah blah. But now they say, man,
40:22
Speaker 1: thank god we went along. Yes, glad, we listen. We
40:25
Speaker 1: are Family. The biggest song of your career? You think
40:28
Speaker 1: we are family? As far as financially, what's the biggest
40:34
Speaker 1: freak out? Lafreq way bigger. It's the biggest selling single
40:38
Speaker 1: history of Atlanta. It's even top like four minute flow
40:42
Speaker 1: Rider topped us for a minute, but because of streaming,
40:45
Speaker 1: Lafreq just had a wider audience and now it went
40:49
Speaker 1: back up to the top. And I don't think following
40:51
Speaker 1: the statistics, I don't think any song on Atlantic Records
40:55
Speaker 1: will ever cop in and nothing. Mandela was a huge
40:58
Speaker 1: fan of We Are Family, correct you men? Nelson. Mandela
41:00
Speaker 1: had no idea how much it impacted him. So when
41:03
Speaker 1: I met Nelson Mandela, the two things that I was
41:06
Speaker 1: involved in that he brew him away was we are
41:10
Speaker 1: a family and coming to America and he said, we
41:14
Speaker 1: are family. And he was in the cell that he
41:17
Speaker 1: did hear a song by black Girls being played on
41:19
Speaker 1: the white radio station, which was totally it just never
41:24
Speaker 1: happened in South Africa. And then I meet him after
41:28
Speaker 1: he's released down at Robert De Niro's restaurant and he
41:31
Speaker 1: walked in the door and he's like, he was like president,
41:33
Speaker 1: could you know, like wants to talk to every single
41:35
Speaker 1: person in the room. And when he finally got to
41:38
Speaker 1: meet and Bernard, somebody said, oh, yeah, these are the
41:40
Speaker 1: guys who wrote Africa, because a lot of African people
41:44
Speaker 1: think that the freak goes freak up. So that was like, Bam,
41:54
Speaker 1: you are the man you wrote Africa. Now you also
42:02
Speaker 1: mentioned coming to America. Are you working on a new
42:03
Speaker 1: film coming to America as well? Yeah? I guess that's
42:07
Speaker 1: a guess. Yeah, I wrote the theme song. So yeah,
42:12
Speaker 1: they just called me last week. Is that you singing
42:15
Speaker 1: just let yourself, just let your So I wrote it,
42:20
Speaker 1: I sang it, and I was laughing because I said, damn,
42:23
Speaker 1: I know one brother who could actually pull this off
42:25
Speaker 1: and sound real. Because that's the thing about comedy. When
42:29
Speaker 1: you do comedy, you gotta be dead serious about your jokes, right.
42:33
Speaker 1: So like I did be this budhead and we were
42:36
Speaker 1: doing that. We and Mike Judge and I were writing
42:39
Speaker 1: songs in character, you know, like I didn't talk to
42:42
Speaker 1: them like I was Nile. I told him like I was, butdhead,
42:45
Speaker 1: you know, I was like I would be homework for
42:48
Speaker 1: your love, you know, and stuffing like that. You know.
42:50
Speaker 1: So when I was singing told glove to John Landers,
42:54
Speaker 1: he was on the floor crying. It's like going, all right, well,
42:57
Speaker 1: I know the brother who's really gonna make you cry.
43:00
Speaker 1: And that when I got Christopher Matt, did you write
43:03
Speaker 1: she's your queen to be too? She's your queen? No? No,
43:07
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. He's that the actor Paul Bates,
43:10
Speaker 1: that's how he got the role. He used that as
43:13
Speaker 1: his audition. He wasn't supposed to sing it. He was
43:16
Speaker 1: just supposed to say she's your queen to be queen
43:19
Speaker 1: and you know, like say, you know, deliver that. But
43:21
Speaker 1: he looked at it and he decided to see it
43:24
Speaker 1: and he made up a melody right on the spot.
43:28
Speaker 1: The only thing is that Paul not a singer, so
43:30
Speaker 1: it was all over the place. So I came in
43:32
Speaker 1: my sne clad. He played it so that it sounds believable.
43:37
Speaker 1: I want to make sure you finish your Nelson Mandela story.
43:39
Speaker 1: That was it, he said, the African thing, and we
43:42
Speaker 1: all family, and that was it. No, no, no, and
43:45
Speaker 1: you know, and coming to America, so he said, the
43:47
Speaker 1: reason why coming to the circle was so powerful is
43:50
Speaker 1: because Eddie Merphers was there also at that meeting that night,
43:53
Speaker 1: so we were all in this room together. And then
43:56
Speaker 1: so Madieba tells us the story about how when Paramount
44:01
Speaker 1: Pictures released coming to America the first time around, they
44:04
Speaker 1: insisted upon theater being integrated at the premiere and that
44:09
Speaker 1: was something that resonated across the entire African continent. Black
44:14
Speaker 1: people and white people sitting together to watch a movie
44:17
Speaker 1: in South Africa that was like the civil war. It
44:21
Speaker 1: shows you that music and art, the visual art, dance,
44:24
Speaker 1: everything has a power to communicate in a much more
44:28
Speaker 1: powerful in a cerebral way, or you know, after the
44:33
Speaker 1: theater was forced to be integrated, well, apartheid actually fell
44:38
Speaker 1: just a few short years after that. I mean, so
44:41
Speaker 1: that may. I mean, we won't take credit or stopping
44:45
Speaker 1: a paratid in South Africa, but when something that's a
44:49
Speaker 1: big cultural phenomenon happened, I mean, you guys have to know,
44:53
Speaker 1: Yola are a cultural phenomenon. When a cultural phenomenon takes place,
44:57
Speaker 1: people can't deny it because it touches hearts. Like you
45:01
Speaker 1: become a human being in their eyes. Even if they
45:03
Speaker 1: don't want you to marry the daughter, they still can
45:05
Speaker 1: embrace you in a certain way. They look at you differently.
45:08
Speaker 1: You know, it's so interesting. I just want everybody to
45:10
Speaker 1: note that now. Roger said the Breakfast Club is a
45:13
Speaker 1: cultural phenomenon. Let's not skate past that. Okay, that means something,
45:16
Speaker 1: all right. But the Sister Sledge record We Are Family
45:21
Speaker 1: now that they're a hidden meaning in that. Oh yeah, man,
45:24
Speaker 1: of course. As I said, so, this was an album
45:28
Speaker 1: that we had written about these four girls that we
45:32
Speaker 1: never met, so we had to invent an identity. And
45:37
Speaker 1: once we invented that identity, then we only wrote songs
45:42
Speaker 1: that pertained to those four people we didn't know. Kathy
45:45
Speaker 1: the sixteen, the nursery with the Virgil. We didn't know
45:48
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. We just know what the record
45:50
Speaker 1: company told them. You know that they were like family
45:53
Speaker 1: to us, and they stick together like bird. We went
45:57
Speaker 1: home and like, oh okay, so we had to just
46:00
Speaker 1: get up. And once we made it up and they
46:02
Speaker 1: walked in the room and they weren't that it was like,
46:05
Speaker 1: oh my god, what did we just do to these
46:08
Speaker 1: poor girls. Well, we didn't think that because we thought
46:12
Speaker 1: that our image of them was the image they should have.
46:16
Speaker 1: And in the way, I feel proud because I watched
46:19
Speaker 1: them girl into those people. All Right, we got more
46:22
Speaker 1: with now Rogers when we come back, let's get into
46:24
Speaker 1: a mini mix some of the records he wrote, some
46:26
Speaker 1: of the records that he performed, some of the records
46:28
Speaker 1: that were sampled from him. I had annowledged Rogers mini mixes.
46:31
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club God Morning that was a now Rogers
46:33
Speaker 1: mini mix Morning. Everybody is ej Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne
46:38
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
46:40
Speaker 1: with Owl's Roger. Now, Charlomagne, Now, what's been your experience
46:43
Speaker 1: with racism? All throughout my life? I have had guns
46:46
Speaker 1: put in my face over and over and over and
46:48
Speaker 1: over again by cops or just random white people. If
46:52
Speaker 1: I'm down South playing somewhere. We played in Augusta, GA.
46:56
Speaker 1: We were all happy, were played in James brown hometown.
46:59
Speaker 1: Man walked out. I was going to a horse riding stable.
47:03
Speaker 1: These dudes rolled up on me, cook guns in my faces,
47:06
Speaker 1: as boy, is that your girlfriend? Because the manager of
47:10
Speaker 1: the club, I asked her to take me to a
47:12
Speaker 1: horse riding academy and she was from Ireland and she said,
47:16
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this one right down the road. I'll drive
47:18
Speaker 1: you blah blah blah. Because I was even too young
47:20
Speaker 1: to get a rent a carfee. You can't rent a
47:22
Speaker 1: card to your twenty one. He drove me. And these
47:24
Speaker 1: guys were like, if I had my wife for my girlfriend, boom,
47:28
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here talking to you. There wouldn't be
47:30
Speaker 1: no sh you know, not rubbing. But that was just one.
47:33
Speaker 1: That's one of a hundred. I could talk to you
47:35
Speaker 1: about a hundred times that either police or just random
47:39
Speaker 1: white people who would have some kind of beasts intake
47:42
Speaker 1: you know, you need to back off serious and words.
47:45
Speaker 1: So that reality has always been in my world, even
47:49
Speaker 1: in the music game. You grew up in the civil
47:51
Speaker 1: rights movement, but she was young. But did you understand
47:54
Speaker 1: the magnitude of that moment, because I know eventually you
47:56
Speaker 1: became a black panther. So I'm just trying to figure out,
47:58
Speaker 1: you know, what was falked all that. Yeah, I did
48:02
Speaker 1: understand it. So I was in elementary school when President
48:06
Speaker 1: Kennedy got shot in nineteen sixty three, and I remember
48:09
Speaker 1: one girl in the class saying, yeah, it's a tragedy,
48:14
Speaker 1: but you know, Martin Luther King could be president just
48:16
Speaker 1: like President Kennedy, and all the kids jumped on our feet.
48:20
Speaker 1: Her up and I went over and I protected her,
48:22
Speaker 1: and I walked her home and she became my sort
48:26
Speaker 1: of girlfriend at eleven year old. We didn't go all
48:30
Speaker 1: the way. Yeah it coming. You didn't get lucky. And
48:37
Speaker 1: for some reason, even though I was sort of like
48:39
Speaker 1: the joke of the class because I spoke to I speak,
48:42
Speaker 1: they backed off of her. And very soon after that,
48:47
Speaker 1: the Beatles came on at Sullivan Show and she told
48:51
Speaker 1: me to come over our house and Martchu Beatley and
48:53
Speaker 1: I remember her talking about how doctor Martin Luther King
48:57
Speaker 1: could be president like President Kennedy and things like that.
49:00
Speaker 1: Remember I'm eleven years old now, and this is like
49:04
Speaker 1: hitting me like a ton of bricks, because it's all
49:06
Speaker 1: started to unfold in front of my stage. These things
49:10
Speaker 1: were on television every night, and as a young black girl,
49:14
Speaker 1: she opened my mind a lot. So I was in
49:20
Speaker 1: the Black Panthers when I was sixteen years old. So
49:22
Speaker 1: I was in Black Panthers from sixteen to seventeen, and
49:26
Speaker 1: then when I became seventeen, that's when the FBI co
49:29
Speaker 1: Intel pro That program just destroyed the Black Panther Party.
49:35
Speaker 1: It would make you believe that your best friend was
49:39
Speaker 1: a cop, or your best friend was going to stab
49:42
Speaker 1: you in the back. It was wow. If you could
49:45
Speaker 1: have been in New York City at that time and
49:48
Speaker 1: seeing the level of sophistication of the co Intel program,
49:54
Speaker 1: it was just incredible. It made us realize that we
49:58
Speaker 1: were children trying to like a sophisticated government that had
50:03
Speaker 1: weaponry that we couldn't even imagine. And just to end
50:08
Speaker 1: the sort of Black Panther story, what really is a
50:11
Speaker 1: good thing? In my heart, there's so many of those
50:16
Speaker 1: informants and FBI agents or police trainees that set up
50:22
Speaker 1: up and went against up many of them had come
50:26
Speaker 1: up to me and apologized and said it hurts my
50:29
Speaker 1: heart every day that I did this. A few years ago,
50:33
Speaker 1: I was walking around and I went to visit the
50:35
Speaker 1: old office and I was standing there and a cop
50:37
Speaker 1: walked up to me and he said, I bet you
50:40
Speaker 1: were in the party, weren't you? And it was a
50:41
Speaker 1: white cop and I said, yeah, I was. She said
50:44
Speaker 1: minutes he says, my brother was a cop before me,
50:47
Speaker 1: and I am apologizing for him. I mean, it was
50:52
Speaker 1: all brought here to my eyes. We got moved with
50:55
Speaker 1: now Rogers. When we come back, don't move as the
50:57
Speaker 1: breakfast local money. Everybody is DJ ve Angela, Ye, Charlemagne
51:01
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the breakfast club. We get still
51:03
Speaker 1: kicking it with now Roger's icon, legend write or producer artists. Ye.
51:09
Speaker 1: Now you said you've had a lot of instances with
51:11
Speaker 1: the police. Can you give us a specific story just
51:14
Speaker 1: to let us know what happened. A few years ago.
51:16
Speaker 1: I was going up to produce a white rock and
51:19
Speaker 1: roll then, and they were headquartered in Vermont, and you know,
51:24
Speaker 1: in the college town of Vermont, And somehow, when I
51:27
Speaker 1: was driving at night, I missed where I was supposed
51:31
Speaker 1: to turn, and I was driving and driving and driving,
51:34
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the traffic signs and
51:38
Speaker 1: the road sign started coming up in French. I was like, damn, well, why,
51:43
Speaker 1: I said, all of a sudden French, and I realized
51:45
Speaker 1: I had driven so far north. I was now headed
51:48
Speaker 1: to Canada, right thanks. I was like, oh, you really
51:52
Speaker 1: got now, you really got lost. I was like, I
51:54
Speaker 1: was really lost. I was like, at that point, I
51:58
Speaker 1: decided to turn off the OA and fill up because
52:01
Speaker 1: now my car was running out of gas. Now I
52:04
Speaker 1: had a car that was worth about one hundred thousand
52:07
Speaker 1: dollars and it's yellow, and it was ridiculous looking. Anybody
52:11
Speaker 1: could spunt this car mile away? What kind of call
52:14
Speaker 1: was it? I'm just curious. Ye see, I've seen that
52:19
Speaker 1: range Rover. It's only made a hundred of them, right, um.
52:23
Speaker 1: So I pull off and there was no there was
52:27
Speaker 1: no gas station on this part of the highway before
52:30
Speaker 1: I would run out of gas. So I pull off
52:32
Speaker 1: and I see a sign that says, you know, there's
52:35
Speaker 1: gas and lodgings in this town, in this particular on
52:38
Speaker 1: the next off ramp. So I get off at the
52:41
Speaker 1: town and I go in there and it's a you know,
52:44
Speaker 1: it's a proper little service station that's got a Delhi
52:48
Speaker 1: attached to it and all that sort of thing. I've
52:50
Speaker 1: had diabetes since I was since I was in my thirties,
52:53
Speaker 1: So I just walked into the store my car filling out.
52:56
Speaker 1: It's got a huge gas thank so it's gonna take
52:59
Speaker 1: fifty minute. I mean, they're looking at the you know,
53:03
Speaker 1: whether I'm going to get diet Mountain Do or diet
53:05
Speaker 1: Doctor Pepper or whatever has enough caffeine to keep me
53:08
Speaker 1: up with this really long drive. Now back and finally
53:11
Speaker 1: get on the right exit. As I was standing there
53:14
Speaker 1: just looking at the sodas two white cops burst in
53:18
Speaker 1: the door and tell me to get on the ground.
53:20
Speaker 1: But they're speaking together, so it's this cacopin and sound.
53:24
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're saying. So I looked behind me,
53:29
Speaker 1: thinking they're calling to someone else. So I'm thinking, so
53:32
Speaker 1: I look back, and I'm thinking that if they had
53:34
Speaker 1: shot me, and you saw the closed circuit camera, they
53:39
Speaker 1: could easily say he was looking to run. I wasn't
53:42
Speaker 1: looking to run. I just knew that they weren't talking
53:44
Speaker 1: to me. So I looked with steg where they were
53:45
Speaker 1: talking to I'm ready to dunk before these guys start shooting.
53:49
Speaker 1: And I realized, all of a sudden, the puzzles start
53:52
Speaker 1: to unravel that this white woman who was working there
53:55
Speaker 1: at the store, as soon as I walked in the door,
53:59
Speaker 1: she pushed the panty. But I didn't even have I
54:02
Speaker 1: think say hello or anything like that, because I just
54:05
Speaker 1: was like trying to get my diet soda and figure
54:08
Speaker 1: out how many I got to get and what I'm
54:10
Speaker 1: going to get. You know, there's a normal stuff. But
54:12
Speaker 1: he why should I be required to say hello and
54:15
Speaker 1: present myself as a nice, presentable young man or whatever.
54:19
Speaker 1: I was just I was a customer. So I finally
54:22
Speaker 1: discerned that they're telling me to get on the ground
54:25
Speaker 1: and I ain't getting on the ground. So I just
54:30
Speaker 1: try and talk to him and say, do you want
54:33
Speaker 1: me to get on the ground with the diet Mountain
54:35
Speaker 1: or the diet doctor Pepper? And they could tell from
54:38
Speaker 1: the way that I'm speaking that, Okay, I guess maybe
54:41
Speaker 1: he's not a criminals. I don't know what it is.
54:43
Speaker 1: But suddenly the situation starts to de escalate and calm down.
54:48
Speaker 1: Then now I feel like I'm in my space. I
54:50
Speaker 1: paid for the sodas and I explained to him. I said,
54:53
Speaker 1: you know, all that happened was I missed the turn
54:56
Speaker 1: off and I'm trying to go to I think it's
54:59
Speaker 1: more PA, but maybe with some other times com and
55:02
Speaker 1: I can't know the whatever it is. And I said
55:04
Speaker 1: to them, you know, I was supposed to go here.
55:07
Speaker 1: I'm a record producer. I'm going to producer fan and
55:10
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and I missed the turn off and
55:12
Speaker 1: now I'll sign myself going to Quebec. And so they
55:15
Speaker 1: so they calm down. They say, okay, cool, blah blah blah.
55:17
Speaker 1: And then they said, well your record is what have
55:19
Speaker 1: you done? And I you know, right away, I just
55:21
Speaker 1: hit him with less dance, you know, boom oh, and
55:25
Speaker 1: probably I ad just done some other big thing. Oh no, yeah, whatever,
55:29
Speaker 1: whatever I did was the right thing, and they got
55:31
Speaker 1: all calm. Then now I'm in my element. I feel
55:34
Speaker 1: like now we're well, now we can talk as men.
55:36
Speaker 1: And I say, I'm really curious. So you guys are
55:39
Speaker 1: stay troopers, right, and your training is there anything like
55:43
Speaker 1: a logic class like when you go into a sign
55:46
Speaker 1: or a potential cross team is there any kind of
55:49
Speaker 1: training that says, m, let me start analyzing the situation
55:53
Speaker 1: as I go with to best protect myself and best
55:57
Speaker 1: equip me for the situation that I don't know what's
56:00
Speaker 1: going on. And so when I saw they started feeling
56:03
Speaker 1: real small, and I said, you know how much that
56:07
Speaker 1: car cause you see how the distinctive it is. You
56:10
Speaker 1: see that the thing was filling up. It doesn't work
56:13
Speaker 1: until I put in the credit card or at least
56:16
Speaker 1: go to the woman and pay her. So there was
56:18
Speaker 1: a legitimate transaction going on right now. You could have
56:23
Speaker 1: thought maybe I had a gun on her and after
56:25
Speaker 1: the show up my car. But there's a certain sense
56:28
Speaker 1: of loning. I'd be like if I had a rose
56:30
Speaker 1: Worthy said, I went, I mean like it does certain
56:32
Speaker 1: things just so. And then we held that woman accountable
56:35
Speaker 1: also for even pushing the panic button that could have went.
56:38
Speaker 1: They didn't even at her, They understood where she was
56:41
Speaker 1: coming from. It was just really incredible, and it was
56:44
Speaker 1: just one in a long chain of incidents in my
56:48
Speaker 1: life throughout my entire life where police had pointed guns
56:51
Speaker 1: at me. And I'm only alive honestly just because they
56:55
Speaker 1: didn't shoot, because they would have gotten away with a
56:57
Speaker 1: completely scott tweet. There was nobody to tell my story. Yeah,
57:02
Speaker 1: you know, it's such a shame. It's a shame that
57:05
Speaker 1: we have to always make them feel safe. White people,
57:08
Speaker 1: we're always the ones in danger, so it is true
57:11
Speaker 1: that you just can't. I mean, look, you know, I'm
57:13
Speaker 1: still conscious of it when I get into an elevator.
57:16
Speaker 1: I remember one one day we had turned a big
57:20
Speaker 1: multimillion dollars deal and we go out to get a
57:23
Speaker 1: taxi cab on Lexington and fifty nine Street, and I'm
57:26
Speaker 1: with my attorney at the time, and I said, you know,
57:29
Speaker 1: and I'm all suited up and everything, and we go
57:32
Speaker 1: outside and I try and get a cab. You know,
57:34
Speaker 1: even I'm in a company and white guys. Still at
57:37
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the attorney had to go
57:39
Speaker 1: get the cab. Yeah. Well, I've had to get a cat.
57:42
Speaker 1: I've had to get cas for a lot of people myself.
57:44
Speaker 1: So but I get it. I know, we've been talking
57:47
Speaker 1: a long time. Now, I was gonna say, we are
57:49
Speaker 1: guy have to do a part two of absolutely now
57:53
Speaker 1: has a million things that we could talk about, But
57:55
Speaker 1: I do want to encourage people to go to we
57:57
Speaker 1: our Family Foundation dot org that you to The front
58:00
Speaker 1: fund is about to open back up for applications in September,
58:03
Speaker 1: so we want to make sure that people are aware
58:04
Speaker 1: of that and the youth really are leaders. This is
58:07
Speaker 1: a global initiative that you have been doing and been
58:09
Speaker 1: passionate about. Now for how many years has we are
58:12
Speaker 1: Family Foundations been? Well? We started right after the tragedy
58:17
Speaker 1: of September eleven, So we started the foundation officially in
58:22
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Wow, we appreciate you for checking
58:25
Speaker 1: in man and giving us all this knowledge. Man, we
58:27
Speaker 1: got to do a part two piece man. Thank you. Now,
58:32
Speaker 1: now Rogers in a breakfast club, good morning, We're gonna
58:34
Speaker 1: be a dunky because right now you want some real
58:38
Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we
58:41
Speaker 1: ever feel I need to be adult, man, give me
58:43
Speaker 1: with the heat. Did she get the name? I had?
58:47
Speaker 1: Become Donkey of the day the breakfast club Bitchy Donkey
58:53
Speaker 1: today for Thursday, August twenty seventh, goes the Kenosha, Wisconsin
58:56
Speaker 1: Police Chief Daniel mus Kinness. Now, I was going down
58:59
Speaker 1: in Kenosha. The Sunday police shooting of Jacob Blake prompted
59:02
Speaker 1: protests all throughout the city. If you're just coming home
59:05
Speaker 1: from jail, if you've been out of the country, or
59:06
Speaker 1: you just disconnect from TV and social media because you're
59:09
Speaker 1: trying to state mentally healthy, I understand, but you probably missed.
59:13
Speaker 1: A young man named Jacob Blake gets shot in his
59:15
Speaker 1: back several times by the police and Kenosha on Sunday
59:19
Speaker 1: while he was just trying to get in the car
59:20
Speaker 1: with his kids. Now, of course, during the protests, there
59:23
Speaker 1: were riots. Some of the riots escalated in the violence,
59:25
Speaker 1: and the seventeen year old young man named Kyle Rittenhouse
59:28
Speaker 1: was arrested after shooting three Kenosha protesters with an ar fifteen.
59:33
Speaker 1: Two have died. Now, I'm watching this video of Kyle Rittenhouse,
59:37
Speaker 1: and I am confused. I feel like I'm only seeing
59:40
Speaker 1: one angle, and I don't know if I'm watching. I
59:43
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm actually watching on this video, because
59:45
Speaker 1: I see this kid and he's running and he falls
59:47
Speaker 1: and it looks like a bunch of people tried to
59:49
Speaker 1: jump him, someone hit him with a skateboard and he
59:51
Speaker 1: starts shooting. Now, if a bunch of people are running
59:55
Speaker 1: after someone with an AR fifteen, then something happened if
59:59
Speaker 1: you don't don't have a weapon, and you are chasing
1:00:01
Speaker 1: someone with a weapon, then you are going off pure
1:00:04
Speaker 1: emotion and adrenaline because there's nothing strategic about that. You know,
1:00:08
Speaker 1: your uncle Sharla always tells you to move off strategy,
1:00:10
Speaker 1: not emotion. So chasing someone with an AAR fifteen and
1:00:13
Speaker 1: you don't have a weapon, just a skateboard, that's pure emotion.
1:00:16
Speaker 1: So clearly something happened that we haven't seen all Right, Now,
1:00:20
Speaker 1: this young seventeen year old white man, after the shooting,
1:00:23
Speaker 1: after killing two people in wounding one, was allowed to
1:00:25
Speaker 1: walk right past the police in Kenosha with his AAR
1:00:29
Speaker 1: fifteen and nothing happened. He was able to just leave
1:00:32
Speaker 1: the scene with no problems. Oh, to have white privilege
1:00:35
Speaker 1: in America is a beautiful thing. White privileges stronger than
1:00:38
Speaker 1: Starbucks WiFi. Now, as said earlier, Kyle was arrested after
1:00:42
Speaker 1: killing two protesters and wounding one. I think he got
1:00:44
Speaker 1: arrested the next day. But man, when I tell you
1:00:46
Speaker 1: that folks are coming to this young man's defense, listen
1:00:51
Speaker 1: to the Chief of Police, Daniel ms. Kinnis discussed the
1:00:54
Speaker 1: Kyle writtenhouse situation. Everybody involved was out after the curfew.
1:00:58
Speaker 1: The curfews in place to protect. Had persons not been
1:01:01
Speaker 1: out involved in violation of that, perhaps the situation that
1:01:05
Speaker 1: unfolded would not have happened. So the last night, a
1:01:09
Speaker 1: seventeen year old individual from Antioch, Illinois was involved in
1:01:13
Speaker 1: the use of firearms to resolve whatever conflict was in place.
1:01:17
Speaker 1: The result of it was two people are dead. This
1:01:20
Speaker 1: is not a police action, This is not the action
1:01:22
Speaker 1: I believe, but those who set out to do protests.
1:01:25
Speaker 1: It is the persons who were involved after the legal time,
1:01:28
Speaker 1: involved in illegal activity that brought violence to this community.
1:01:31
Speaker 1: Wow Daniels gives me ask you a question. If you
1:01:35
Speaker 1: gave your son a curfew and he broke his curfew
1:01:38
Speaker 1: and got into a car accident, God forbid, and broke
1:01:41
Speaker 1: every bone in his body, would you go to the
1:01:44
Speaker 1: hospital and tell him this would have never happened if
1:01:46
Speaker 1: he hadn't broken his curfew. If you had a daughter
1:01:49
Speaker 1: and she broke curfew and she was assaulted, God forbid,
1:01:52
Speaker 1: would you tell her this would have never happened if
1:01:56
Speaker 1: she didn't break curfew. America. That is the chief of
1:02:00
Speaker 1: police in Kenosha. He's in a leadership role. Forget telling
1:02:05
Speaker 1: the community that they need peace, that there's no need
1:02:07
Speaker 1: to bring weapons to protests. You know, if you're protecting
1:02:10
Speaker 1: your house, your business, you get it, you understand. But
1:02:13
Speaker 1: there's no need to just be out with your weapon
1:02:15
Speaker 1: looking for conflict. Forget all that. Okay, forget all that.
1:02:18
Speaker 1: It's because they broke curfew. That's why that happened. Now,
1:02:22
Speaker 1: you know, and I know that if a black person
1:02:23
Speaker 1: fighting against injustice, fighting against police brutality, killed two people,
1:02:27
Speaker 1: okay and wounded one, Daniel Mskinness would never blame that
1:02:32
Speaker 1: on people violating curfew. Okay. Now, Daniel isn't the only
1:02:36
Speaker 1: person making any excuses for Kyle Rittenhouse shooting and killing
1:02:40
Speaker 1: two protesters. Tucker Carlson also validated what happened. Let's listen,
1:02:45
Speaker 1: we do know why it all happened, though, Kenosha has
1:02:48
Speaker 1: devolved into anarchy because the authorities in charge of the
1:02:51
Speaker 1: city abandon that. Troy really surprised that looting an arson
1:02:55
Speaker 1: accelerated to murder. How shocked are we that seventeen year
1:02:59
Speaker 1: olds with tifles decided they had to maintain order when
1:03:02
Speaker 1: no one else would. Wow, interesting hot takes. Okay, Black
1:03:08
Speaker 1: people in America, your uncle Charla have been telling you
1:03:11
Speaker 1: this all right, but I want you to listen and
1:03:12
Speaker 1: listen to me. Good When you black in America, owning
1:03:16
Speaker 1: a legal keyword legal firearm is a form of self care.
1:03:20
Speaker 1: And since people like Tucker Carston feel like authorities abandoning
1:03:24
Speaker 1: a community, that sound familiar authorities abandon abandoning a community.
1:03:30
Speaker 1: If people like Tucker Carston think that justifies folks bearing
1:03:33
Speaker 1: arms to maintain order, then let's flex our constitutional rights.
1:03:37
Speaker 1: Then if young men like Kyle gonna be out there
1:03:40
Speaker 1: with their weapons, then you need to have your legal
1:03:42
Speaker 1: firearms as well. Okay, you got guns. We got guns too,
1:03:45
Speaker 1: And I want Tucker Carston and Daniel Mskinness to keep
1:03:48
Speaker 1: that same energy. Okay, we're not violent thug anarchists. Look
1:03:53
Speaker 1: in the cause trouble. We are proud to a supporters
1:03:56
Speaker 1: who believe in the right to keep and bear arms.
1:03:58
Speaker 1: And it is all right American people to possess weapons
1:04:01
Speaker 1: for our own defense. So, you know, because it's inevitable
1:04:07
Speaker 1: when it happens, it's going to happen when someone fighting
1:04:10

1:08:04

1:08:26
Speaker 1: to do some four play, get us ready having sexes
1:08:30

1:08:35
Speaker 1: cute messages, little nice things you could do in the house. Yeah,
1:08:40
Speaker 1: I mean that's true. I mean I do stuff like that,
1:08:42
Speaker 1: like like candles and cook I'm not know, like because
1:08:46
Speaker 1: sometimes I can't stand with my boyfriend just be trying
1:08:49

1:08:51
Speaker 1: I need a little bit of warming up. Yeah, I'm

1:09:31
Speaker 1: just got reading your first book. I'm getting ready to
1:09:33
Speaker 1: reach your second book. But anyway, but yeah, I think
1:09:41
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, you gotta rev it up. Don't
1:09:43
Speaker 1: just try to go in. Don't think just because you
1:09:45
Speaker 1: grab her butt when she walks back, now she's ready
1:09:47
Speaker 1: to suck it. Like, you have to do more than
1:09:49
Speaker 1: just that. It's gotta like that, like I'll go up
1:09:52
Speaker 1: to her wing cooking or something like that when I
1:09:54
Speaker 1: get home for work and I gets on her neck.
1:09:57
Speaker 1: You know, like that that was about you. Like I'm
1:10:01
Speaker 1: I'm very affective and I showed my affection like a lot,
1:10:06
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm gonna be honest, like just showing
1:10:08
Speaker 1: affection is great. You showing affection doesn't always mean it
1:10:11
Speaker 1: has to lead to sex. Sometimes just doing that and
1:10:14
Speaker 1: not expecting sex, but just doing that for the take
1:10:17
Speaker 1: of feeling affection, and it is great. Sometimes it will
1:10:19
Speaker 1: lead to sex, sometimes it won't. But you know, sometimes
1:10:22
Speaker 1: you got to really communicate, like, look, I've been missing
1:10:24
Speaker 1: you all day and I'm ready to tell me what
1:10:27
Speaker 1: you need. Let me just take care of you, let
1:10:28
Speaker 1: me please you. And then normally, once you get that started,
1:10:31
Speaker 1: that's when it goes down. Let me eat your bookie.
1:10:34
Speaker 1: See he's married, man Lee Malone, he's not interested in you.
1:10:40
Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Position than sorry, he doesn't
1:10:53
Speaker 1: want you, say to his wife, No, he doesn't want you.
1:10:56
Speaker 1: He doesn't want you to eat his bunkie. He's married
1:10:58
Speaker 1: in his faith God, he just came over here and
1:11:00
Speaker 1: screamed out that he went into each other and then
1:11:02
Speaker 1: offer to give you his This is so is No.
1:11:06
Speaker 1: What I was telling him was, that's something you can
1:11:08
Speaker 1: say to his wife, because Angela was saying that was
1:11:09
Speaker 1: good advice and was like, yo, you know, let me
1:11:12

1:11:13
Speaker 1: That's something you can do for her. Let me eat

1:11:18
Speaker 1: kind of guy. He said, don't tease him with a
1:11:20
Speaker 1: good time. But anyway, ask ye eight hundred five eight
1:11:23
Speaker 1: five one on five one if you need relationship advice
1:11:25
Speaker 1: or any type of advice. He now was the breakfast
1:11:27
Speaker 1: club Good Morning coma kid did some real advice with
1:11:32
Speaker 1: anthela Ye ask ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
1:11:38
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. But in
1:11:41
Speaker 1: the middle of ask yee, Hello, who's this yo? What's up? Brother?
1:11:48
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question, why quick? Go ahead?
1:11:52
Speaker 1: I want to say one that called and you gave
1:11:53
Speaker 1: me a good movie reference the Platform? Remember that? Oh yes,
1:11:56
Speaker 1: you saw the Platform and you enjoyed it. And then
1:11:58
Speaker 1: I told that I told you that all I called
1:12:01
Speaker 1: un Then I moved up here and started businesses and stuff.
1:12:04
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you a question right quick,
1:12:06
Speaker 1: because I knew y'all ain't got long. When I was
1:12:08
Speaker 1: down and out, I was going through a whole bunch
1:12:11
Speaker 1: of stuff right and then I decided to take my
1:12:14
Speaker 1: family and hit the road. So we came up to
1:12:17
Speaker 1: the Maryland Baltimore, and I started two businesses. I have
1:12:22
Speaker 1: left food bounce bounse houses, and I have two months
1:12:25
Speaker 1: and my wife we started together, and then I had
1:12:28
Speaker 1: a family member that wanted to come up here and
1:12:30
Speaker 1: linger on us. So I was like, where were you?
1:12:34
Speaker 1: So now she's mad at me and she don't want
1:12:39
Speaker 1: to talk to me no more, and I helped tug
1:12:42
Speaker 1: it off her feet. So you're heavy and Charlemagne, y'all
1:12:46
Speaker 1: got family members, and what do you do in a situation?
1:12:49
Speaker 1: Weren't your family wanter talk to you because you don't
1:12:51
Speaker 1: want to help the bocknerball Listen. I think that people
1:12:54
Speaker 1: have to be appreciative of what you have done for them.
1:12:57
Speaker 1: The problem that people have is that you can't even
1:13:00
Speaker 1: give and give and then one day you're like no,
1:13:03
Speaker 1: and you cut it off so that you can stop
1:13:05
Speaker 1: enabling them for them to do what they have to
1:13:07
Speaker 1: do for themselves, for their own good and also for
1:13:09
Speaker 1: your own mental well being, for you to be able
1:13:12
Speaker 1: to have your own space and take care of yourself
1:13:13
Speaker 1: and your own family. And then they get mad. That's
1:13:17
Speaker 1: not on you, that's on them. And so man, you know,
1:13:20
Speaker 1: it's so crazy. I just did a podcast on that,
1:13:23
Speaker 1: uh this week and talking about you know, people and
1:13:26
Speaker 1: family members and friends asking for money, but you gotta
1:13:29
Speaker 1: do it's best for you, bro, Like you can't feel
1:13:31
Speaker 1: guilty and feel like, well, I gotta give them because
1:13:33
Speaker 1: they're my family. You know, you got to make sure
1:13:34
Speaker 1: your house and everything is secure first. And if you
1:13:36
Speaker 1: can't give it, you can't give it. And if they
1:13:37
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to you because of that, fel,
1:13:40
Speaker 1: that's because y'all plenty of time, plenty of time, okay,
1:13:47
Speaker 1: but I tell you, it is ridiculous, and sometimes you
1:13:51
Speaker 1: just have to say, okay, the lifeline is cut off.
1:13:54
Speaker 1: Now I did all I could do. You are not
1:13:55
Speaker 1: going to pause suck me dry, okay while I'm trying
1:14:00
Speaker 1: get over here and maintain myself. It's a difficult time.
1:14:03
Speaker 1: And if you've overextended yourself with somebody and they don't
1:14:06
Speaker 1: appreciate it, that's on them. That's a character flaw that
1:14:10
Speaker 1: they have. That's not anything that should reflect on you.
1:14:13
Speaker 1: As long as you know you're a great person and
1:14:16
Speaker 1: you've done all you can do and you got to
1:14:17
Speaker 1: cut it off, then for your own mental well being,
1:14:20
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sacrifice myself so that you can
1:14:22
Speaker 1: flourish and then you still don't appreciate it. Yeah you right, hey,
1:14:26
Speaker 1: because right now I was listening to the show because
1:14:30
Speaker 1: I listened to it morn and I'm outside in my

1:14:47
Speaker 1: what's going on that I can get some advice. You
1:14:50

1:19:14
Speaker 1: now feeling for my new show, and this is all

1:19:38
Speaker 1: de Rivera was talking about it, and she's been on
1:19:40
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club and she said the organization is not
1:19:43
Speaker 1: partnering with Mesica and the board will not be accepting
1:19:46
Speaker 1: any donations from only fans. She said in reference to
1:19:49
Speaker 1: Mosica doing a scene saying it was from my organization.
1:19:52
Speaker 1: I think her for the support, but I did not
1:19:54
Speaker 1: approve of that video. I will not and my organization
1:19:57
Speaker 1: will not be accepting donations from only fans. That video
1:20:01
Speaker 1: triggered a lot of people, and people ask me if
1:20:03
Speaker 1: I'm partnering with her. No, Rose is mine. It kind
1:20:06
Speaker 1: of pissed me off because this is my life's work. Yeah,
1:20:09
Speaker 1: certain things you don't play about. I mean, Mossica, I
1:20:11
Speaker 1: wouldn't if I'm a Sica, I wouldn't be trying to
1:20:13
Speaker 1: bring that kind of energy into my life, even if
1:20:14
Speaker 1: it's for a good cause. You know. They always say
1:20:16
Speaker 1: you turned out to be what you pretend to be,
1:20:18
Speaker 1: you know, So I wouldn't bring that kind of energy
1:20:19
Speaker 1: in my life. And I don't know her role in
1:20:21
Speaker 1: Tony's organization, but can we drop one of clues bombs
1:20:24
Speaker 1: for Tony de Rivera because she's really out here doing
1:20:26
Speaker 1: the work. Like Angelie said, she's been on the Breakfast
1:20:29
Speaker 1: Club before. I think that was last year and I
1:20:31
Speaker 1: met I met her back in the day in Columbia,
1:20:34
Speaker 1: South Carolina when she was caught up in the web
1:20:37
Speaker 1: of a sex trafficker. And when I saw her last year,
1:20:40
Speaker 1: she reminded me that I gave her thirty dollars and
1:20:42
Speaker 1: a half of a subway sandwich and told her she
1:20:44
Speaker 1: was better than that, and now look at her. She
1:20:46
Speaker 1: got his saving young girl. So salu well. Mosica then
1:20:50
Speaker 1: went and posted a letter from the Rose Organization, and
1:20:54
Speaker 1: Tony Rivera said that was not from her, That's not
1:20:57
Speaker 1: their letter. Head and so it was just a lot
1:21:00
Speaker 1: of back and forth. But at the end of it all,
1:21:02
Speaker 1: Mesica did say that she does still support the organization
1:21:05
Speaker 1: even though she's not on the board anymore. I don't
1:21:08
Speaker 1: know if they really did ask her, didn't ask her
1:21:10
Speaker 1: to be part of the board, but she said she
1:21:14
Speaker 1: does support the work that they are doing. Yeah, this
1:21:17
Speaker 1: all sounds like a big misunderstanding. It just sounds like miscommunication.
1:21:20
Speaker 1: It sounds like if Tony and Meska would have just
1:21:23
Speaker 1: got on the phone, they could have figured it all out.
1:21:27
Speaker 1: But it's like all this back and forth on social
1:21:29
Speaker 1: media just causes confusion. But I could see Tony Rivera
1:21:32
Speaker 1: being upset about that video. That is a triggering thing.
1:21:35
Speaker 1: You can't just post a video like that, absolutely, But
1:21:38
Speaker 1: car Missey can't tell her that, you know what I mean,
1:21:40
Speaker 1: And didn't let MOSCA come out with a statement that
1:21:42
Speaker 1: all of y'all have sat down and formulated together. You
1:21:44
Speaker 1: Tony Marsia dicing, sleep to Marsia dicing, you know, because
1:21:48
Speaker 1: of all ectravity. He was trying to raise money to
1:21:50
Speaker 1: help the cause, right, she just did it in the
1:21:52
Speaker 1: wrong way. Correct, that's right. But you know what, she
1:21:54
Speaker 1: also probably wanted to put that out on social media
1:21:56
Speaker 1: because people might have thought it was something that she
1:21:59
Speaker 1: had came up with and approved of and they worked
1:22:01
Speaker 1: on together. So maybe she wanted to specify I didn't
1:22:05
Speaker 1: have anything to do with that, and because it was
1:22:07
Speaker 1: put out on social media, she wanted to make sure
1:22:09
Speaker 1: she stopped it right there, you know. So I don't know,
1:22:13
Speaker 1: but um, all right, Jeff Bezos is the world's first
1:22:16
Speaker 1: man worth two hundred billion dollars. He is the first
1:22:20
Speaker 1: person ever to be worth that much. With Amazon's share
1:22:24
Speaker 1: price climbing another two point three percent and all of
1:22:27
Speaker 1: that now, he's worth more than huge brands like McDonald's, Nike,
1:22:31
Speaker 1: and PEPSI ain't got no holes though, what anything? I
1:22:36
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I'm just hating, see I see.
1:22:38
Speaker 1: That's the crazy, that's that's the that's the inner wounded
1:22:42
Speaker 1: child in me. You know what I mean? You ain't
1:22:43
Speaker 1: got I don't all right. It just sounded like something
1:22:47
Speaker 1: I would sounded like something I would say when I
1:22:49
Speaker 1: was a kid, when I was hating on somebody. He
1:22:51
Speaker 1: ain't got no holes though, Okay, fifty cent his twenty
1:22:57
Speaker 1: four seven drama That's durring Ti that's inspired by Notorious Cop,
1:23:01
Speaker 1: the inside story of the two Pop Biggie and jam
1:23:03
Speaker 1: Master Jay investigations from NYPD's first Hip Hop Cop. They
1:23:07
Speaker 1: are in final negotiations for that project, so congratulations to them.
1:23:11
Speaker 1: Fifty Cent and Ti working together. We saw them going
1:23:14
Speaker 1: back and forth, but in reality they're cool with each
1:23:17
Speaker 1: other and working together. Yes, salute to fifty and Tip
1:23:19
Speaker 1: on that. But I have to say the good brother Mayno.
1:23:22
Speaker 1: Mayno had a great idea for the hip Hop Cop
1:23:26
Speaker 1: show years years years years years ago, so I wish
1:23:29
Speaker 1: that was involved in that as well. I mean, that's
1:23:31
Speaker 1: what it was about. It was based on the hip
1:23:33
Speaker 1: Hop Police here in New York City, so it was
1:23:35
Speaker 1: kind of like um with some shows, some cop shows
1:23:38
Speaker 1: like CSI and YE, Law and Order and all that.
1:23:40
Speaker 1: It was like that, but it was based off the
1:23:42
Speaker 1: hip Hop Police, all right. Fifty Cent also has PowerBook
1:23:45
Speaker 1: two Ghosts premiering on Star September six. That's really soon,
1:23:48
Speaker 1: so that's come in. I guess what is that like
1:23:51
Speaker 1: next week? And he was doing he was doing Varieties
1:23:55
Speaker 1: Entertainment Marketing summit and he said he doesn't care whether
1:23:58
Speaker 1: or not people love him or hate him as long
1:24:00
Speaker 1: as they care. He said, I'm an entertainer, so to
1:24:03
Speaker 1: entertain is to provoke emotion. I don't believe I can
1:24:06
Speaker 1: be canceled. He said, you got to go to jail
1:24:09
Speaker 1: to get canceled. They got to shoot a girl. You
1:24:11
Speaker 1: gotta do something extremely bad to be canceled. And I
1:24:13
Speaker 1: think it's so unfair to the people that are canceled.
1:24:17
Speaker 1: Then he also just talked about heterosexual males and there's
1:24:22
Speaker 1: no organization for them. He said, if you say something
1:24:25
Speaker 1: about someone who chooses something different, there's organization set up
1:24:28
Speaker 1: to start sending things around to get signatures and stuff.
1:24:31
Speaker 1: And tell me this as a heterosexual male, who's going
1:24:33
Speaker 1: to send things around to get signatures based on your failures?
1:24:36
Speaker 1: There's no one. There's no organization. Certain demographics have been
1:24:39
Speaker 1: conditioned because they've been taking advantage of in the earliest
1:24:42
Speaker 1: pant inferior. Now they're superior because we have no organization.
1:24:46
Speaker 1: The biggest target is heterosexual males in general. Let's have
1:24:49
Speaker 1: a discussion about that, Jamie, because he's not wrong about
1:24:53
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that he's saying. The problem
1:24:55
Speaker 1: with cancel culture is people get canceled for a lack
1:24:58
Speaker 1: of education, right, don't cancel me for what I don't know,
1:25:00
Speaker 1: Cancel me for what I'm not willing to learn. Like
1:25:02
Speaker 1: it's plenty of times, you know, I might be ignorant
1:25:05
Speaker 1: to something, so I'll say something. I'll be in a
1:25:07
Speaker 1: conversation with somebody and I may not quite get it,
1:25:09
Speaker 1: and people will jump all over you for that. But
1:25:11
Speaker 1: that's when you're supposed to educate a person, right, not
1:25:14
Speaker 1: try to cancel them. That's what it's supposed to be.
1:25:17
Speaker 1: The part about nobody's here to protect heterosexual men, I
1:25:20
Speaker 1: think that heterosexual men, our privilege allows us a lot
1:25:26
Speaker 1: of protection here in America. You know what, I'm setting
1:25:30
Speaker 1: jumped on the street for being a heterosexual male for
1:25:32
Speaker 1: their sexuality. Yeah, yeah, I gotta get what he's trying
1:25:36
Speaker 1: to say. But our privilege is heterosexual men, is what
1:25:38
Speaker 1: you know. We have privilege over women in a lot
1:25:41
Speaker 1: of spaces. We have privilege over gay people in a
1:25:43
Speaker 1: lot of spaces. So you got to use that privilege
1:25:44
Speaker 1: to combat prejudice. So I think our privilege allows us protection.
1:25:48
Speaker 1: But if nobody if if what fifty is saying is
1:25:50
Speaker 1: true and nobody's here to protect heterosexual men, I'm gay
1:25:56
Speaker 1: let me eat your bulky. All right, well I'm Angela. Yean,
1:25:59
Speaker 1: that is your room report. I guess that's part of it.
